DISPLAYED AT ITS BEST.

McCandless Democrats, faced with the cold ques
ton of indorsing or repudiatng Judge Stuarts Out
rageous attack upon the president give various an
swers. Here are two of them: ..
Anything which Judge Stuart may have done was
the result OF his own ideas. We had nothing to DO
with the letter which he wrote to the president and
knew nothing of the nature of its contents until read
the letter In the newspaper. AS far as we know tne
letter was his idea 1t was not written with our
authority and we have never talked about it, L.
McCandless, head Of delegation to st Louis. ...
ePersonslly advised Judge Stuart not to take the
stand he does in the letter and not 70 resign me se
national convention In St Louis, but prevented that
was Judge Stuarts idea that We should do some
thing along the line OF this letter. but when we LETT
him IN washington we told him II was not at all the
proper course to take"-M. c. Pacheco, chairman Oh
the party.
There is a contradiction here which should be ex
planned in the councils of Pauahi street
And here is further light on the question whether
Stars course was talked over by the McCandlessite
at St Louis and Washington:
sJudee Stuart began the formulation Of his letter
week before It's promggseon en-, ne ao9aeE youns
reporters. With them he conferred and to them ne
read the rough draft of his letter Finally ne rounded
II and took It to the White House in person From
the Star-Buetins Washington correspondent.
AS matter of obvious conclusion, Judge Stuart:
intentions were known to his colleagues on the delega
ton from Hawai- the tenor of the letter was known
his planned assault upon the integrity OF the presiden
and his cabinet officers was known 1t was an attaci
long premeditated This attack is even now condor
ed and excused by some of the McCandless Demo
Gratis and it is partly upheld by l. McCandless HIM
self. 81 !.
AS an attack upon the president, Judge Stuart:
letter fell fat, foolshly, rdiculousy fiat Its mar
effect has been to display the Democracy OF Pauah
street at its best.

Marine Code Is
Relied Upon To
Settle Dispute

What is the meaning of P. d. O.?
The question came up this morning
in the harbormaster's office and many
suggestions we're offered. One marin
er said it meant bring boat quick"
and another "bring help quick" and
the landlubber who was present
thought 1t meant pretty (censored)
quick but wnen the marine code
book was brought out it was found
that no one had the correct answer.
According to the code it means sub

G. 0. 7. PLATFORM

LABOR IS RAPED
Japanese Daily Declares Sug-
geStion is a Menace to
Oriental Workers

Criticism OF the Republican party
in Hawaii for its anti-alien labor plank
in the platform adopted last Monday
was voiced editorialfy yesterday by
the Nippu Jill. The Jill under the
head The Hawaii Republicans and
Citizen Labor" says:
Among the pledges of the Repub-
lican party of this territory announc'
ed there is one of most important
question for the Orientals to observe
their pledge for citizen labor. 1t
reads as follows:
We pledge all Republican senators
and representatives at the next ses-
sion of the legislature to memorabilia
the Congress of the United States to
the restriction of the employment up
on federal work in Hawaii to Amer
lean citizens or those eligible to be.
come citizens only, and pledge our
delegate to Congress to urge congress.

striction.' 49,. sr-.- -,
aThis question of citizen labor has
been presented IN the territorial leg
islature many times before and each,
time it was, killed, but they intended
to pass 1t each time. We are unable
to find out at present what pledge
the Democratic party Of this terri
tory will make on this question, as
its platform is not announced yet, but
In, accordance with the conditions Of
the political situation, We. can judge
that the Republicans may be success
full in the general election this year.
II So. this question OF citizen labor
will be presented to the territorial
legislature as before, and the mem.
bers may use all their energy to pass
It. Enactment of this citizen labor
law is anti-Asiatic. Its aim is to OPP
pose Japanese and Chinese in this
country, for they are the only aliens
whose naturalization is not granted as
Americans. n - H.
"If this citizen labor bill should
pass the legislature and also become
a law Of this county, the Japanese
and the Chinese will be barred from
all federal work in this territory.
There are about 500 Japanese car
penters in this city and about 800 Of
them are working under employment

Ing satisfaction to the U. S: authori'
ties. ... ~
I'VE believe that the federal gov
eminent viii not favor such discrim
mating action which the Republican
party Of this territory Is going to take
towards Orientals. At the same time
we ask the Republican party of this
territory for further consideration Of
this question" ~. -

blundering, pacfst, pork loving Congress, g.. Il.
Congress gave peremptory order in the, isl4 ap-
preparation bill that no more machine guns be made
of the kind which all ordnance experts agreed is the
best available but that type which # would be
impossible procure for two or three years. must be
used r.. ~
The consequence of this incredible short=sighted-
ness on the part of Congress is that there is now
shortage of machine guns for the regulars, and that
the national guard now being modified cannot be
properly armed when sent to the front
If the lives of large number of American sol
diers are lost because they not provided with
modern equipment, the congressman who are respon-
sibe for this overrung of the expert advisers OF the
army ought to be sought out and ploried for their
mistake. ~ -, 5a

is making continually in military and naval matters

A FEAR UNFoUNDED.
tFrom Teaching, Emporia. Kas.)

(From Teaching, Emporia Kas.)
Any glance will show that the natural activities OF
school boys are more pugnacious, more aggressive,
and aimed more at direct personal conquest than gov
eminent military training can be. The football game,
the track meet the class rush. the college election all
rightful interests embody good and bad, the prncl-
pies of nlilitarisi Here they comparatively ur-
directed They are left to the guidance of the vigor-
GUS boys own tendencies. 81
s Our fear of the moral effect of military training
in the schools becomes rather absurd when this is
borne in mind That i1iatrey directed training in
camp life, rifle shooting and field organization can
be more dangerous morally than the football game is
not likely. Besides, military training is stated in
terms of service to the nation. ~. ~
