de8potiSm Of the Federal Government Nv
lATTERS or PURELY LOCAL PO-
LLCE
The Constitution does not give the Federal
Government any police power, at all.
A Government of delegated powers, may be
ever so supreme within the powers delegated;
but police power belongs to the sovereign
States, each Of qch0mt acouZd be complete as q
Government, even if the Federal Constitution
were abolished and the Federal machinery
scrapheaped.
Legally speaking, the Union could not exist
a day without the States, whereas, the States
are IN no sense dependent for their sovereign
existence upo1o the Union.
But if such men as Senator Sheppard
represents the most radical Prohibition senti-
ment-are allowed to 90 on and on, we will
soon have no sovereign States.
The Federal Government will be The State,
and the so-called states will be provinces of
a centralized Empire.
Create such an Empire, and the Emperor
qcM come, neut.
See how rapidly the independent German
Kingdoms became mere foot-stools to the
Kaiser, after Prllssian milltariSm reached full
Development
Austria is practically absorbed in the Ger
man imperial system; and the next figure
head Austrian emperor 2CllI be as much u
subject Of the German Kaiser, as the King Of
Bar0TTN IS 2l0tO.
Do not the thinkers among the Prohibi-
tionists realize the revolutionary nature of
such proposed amendments to the Constitu-
ton, as that of Senator Sheppard?
Are they willing to see the Federal courts
take jurisdiction of strictly State matters?
Are they prepared to tell the world that
they have no confidence in State govern
ments?
Do they wish to be understood as enter
tanning supreme contempt for State rights,
and local self government?
Tn short, are they determined to revolution
lie the system of government, which our fore
fathers won on the battlefelds of seven years,
and consecrated with their blood?
The imperialsts, most of whom are law
made millionaires, or military men, or NUM-
tions men, or too-extreme Reformers have
already put the Federal Government in
charge of our health our food, our medicines,
our gins, our afflicted hogs, and our tick laden
COWS.
The italian pope, through his Congress-
ional Knights of Columbus, is demanding
that the Federal Government abolish that
part of the Constitution which declares that
the freedom of the press shall not be
abridged.
The Preparedness people want the Con-
stitution abolished, far as it gives the States
the exclusive control of the State troops, until
after the Governor has honored the Presi-
dents requisition, and sent the troops into the
field of action.
But worst of all, the Prohibitionists are
clamoring for another breach in the Constitu-
ton, aOhich means the death Of State rights,
and the utter ruin of thousands of citizens,

RATE CONTROVERSY . -. :.
AGAIN RESUMED AT
UTILITIES MEETING

Controversy over the charge to be
made for current furnished by the
Hilo Electric Company to the Hilo
Traction Company was resumed at a
special meeting of the public utilities
commission late yesterday afternoon.
C. G. Ballentyne, representing the
traction company, alleged that the dis
eussion at Hilo when rate of $.0126
had been set by the utilities commits
sion had all been founded on current
to be furnished on the d. c. or deliver
ing side of the converter F. E.
Thompson, representing the electric
light company, declared that that had
not been the understanding of his
company.
Ballentyne then declared that mas
much as the poYer company would
have to erect new plant to generate
power for the traction company, it
might as well generate direct current.
Thompson requested that he put his
proposal in writing, promising to take
it UP with the company he represents.

the world with a smile that her posi-

Deeper and deeper she buried
Love within her heart even while
she denied his very existence.
She often wearied him with the
question, will you always be con-
tent to live only in my hearth" Well
knowing that cOntentment is some
thing one cannot bring at will; but
it must come and go as fate fore
tells.
And so she must live from day to
day, this unfortunate one, alternate
ly fainting under the blistering sun

darkness as she sees the will-O'-the-
whisp Of happiness departing from
her.

Each tear the woman sheds seems
to expand her wicked soul as the dia-
mOnd dewdTOp does a flower. Each
sigh as it is borne to her seems a
bit of summer breeze which she must
have to live. Each look at the tor
tured face is Joy to her for she knows
that when the bonds which hold her
present victim to the torture rack
becomes too heavy, when Love leaves
her and life becomes unbearable, she
will find another to take her place.

In the happiness of having at last
found love and in the joy of his dear
presence the woman forgot the cruel
jagged rock to which she was bound.
But even the glory of Love could
not keep her eyes always turned to
the stars. The cords which held her
down to all the terrible rock of her
mistaken past seemed to grow tight
er and their hurt was ever present
Sometimes she strained and fretted
against the torture and tore her
hands as she vainly tried. to break
those awful bonds. Sometimes she
even poured the bitter dregs of I'M
availing regret into the crystal Chal-
ice that Love held to her lips. Some
times she beat her breast and made
sacrifice to the dragon which held
her there in vain hope Of release.
Sometimes her very heart stood still
at his haunting whisper, Love is
free. He may go where he will and
you may not follow" HE will tire
of resting on your heart and go to
someone who can follow him in all
his rigorous flights"
Sometimes some beautiful bless
ed times-she forgot for a short
while, she forgot everything except
that she had found Love and he was
in her arms close, close to her breast
and his very heart beat in union with
hers.
When he whispered into her raw
ished ear that he would rather stay
beside her, bound as she was, than
float through Paradise with another,
his words became an anaesthetic
which deadened her lifelong pain.

FRANCE

PARIS, April 13.-The Germans
launched their first direct attack on
Hill 3O4, one Of the keyatones Of the
French defense northwest Of verdun,
late yesterday afternoon. The war
office announced today that the as
saut was stopped by curtain Of fire
from French guns.
The Germans emerged from the
MaIancourt woods east Of the strongly
fortified heights. They Immediately
came under the hot fire Of French
guns from a nelghborina sector and
but few German detachments sue
ceeded in leaving their own trenches.
The attack was completely stopped.
The night was calm on the whole
Verdun front.
The Germans for the past twenty
four hours have been bringing up
fresh forces to the Verdun front, con.
centratino apparently for another
heavy smash west Of the Meuse.
Some Of the fresh divisions are re.
ported to be coming from the Russian
front. The German front, In France
and Flanders has been 80 thoroughly

situation that has grown out of the
pursuit of Pancho Villa.

Frank admission Of the difficulty

understanding of negotiations as far
as they have gone is suggested, in
the light of the quoted phrase from
President Wilson that '-the expedition
was ordered under an agreement
with the defacto government OF

"Under no pretext whatever, would

[By Robert ]. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. April 13. - The
tables are now clear for SHOW
down" between the United States and
Germany on the submarine question.
Disclaiming responsibility for the ex-
plosion which wrecked the Sussex in
the English channel, and declaring
itself guiltless Of any violation OF as
surances to this government in Its
submarine attacks upon four other
vessels carrying Americans, Germany
nevertheless in Its answer to In
quiries from Ambassador Gerard has
made the anticipated proposal for
further negotiations
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing are now at work completing
the evidence in the hands of this gov.
ernment, tending to prove Germany
guilty of repeated violations OF her
assurances. The issue is clear cut
in the minds of officials and in the
words Of one close to the president
this government will act now in such
manner as to entirely satisfy the
people of this country"
Germany says that as far as her
reports show, she is not liable to crit
icism for breach of faith in the recent
channel attacks.
So far as the reports now in the
hands of the state department show,
she is liable.
The fact that Germany admits at
tacking vessel "in the vicinity" OF
the point where the Sussex was
wrecked, is held to materially
strengthen this governments position,
even though Germany says the ves'
sci she attacked does not appear from
the description given, to have been
the Sussex.
The question of Germany's right to
sink freighters, looms large as fac
tor in determining this country's 20,

Berlin never promised that freighters
come under the safe head as liners
and it is understood that Secretary
of State Lansing never had such an
understanding with Ambassador Won

however, of the opinion that Germany
could not decline to include freight
ers along with her assurance on
liners.

FULL CONFESSION MADE
OF GERMAN BOMB PLOT

The bombs, according to Police
Captain Tunney, were of chemical
composition and would create a
fierce heat on going off. He credits
many of the fires on allied vessels at
sea to them.
According to the police who base
their stories on their information
and confessions made, the bombs
were made in the ship and filled
with explosive chemicals at New
Jersey chemical plant of which Won
[Kleist was superintendent. From
there they were distributed to Ger
man agents all over the country.
"Sweated' until day break today,
Won Kleist broke down and admitted
that he was superintendent OF fac
tory in lHoboken where bombs were
made, the police state. Certain por-
tions of his confession are being
withheld.
Lieutenant Robert Fay, indicted
several weeks ago on the charge OF
conspiring to blow up munition ships,
furnished the police the information
on which Won Kliest and his alleged
fellow conspirators were arrested.
Won Kleist was born in Pommern,
Prussia. He told the police that he
lived within a block OF the home OF
Bismarck and that his father was a
personal friend of the former German
chancellor.
After the arrest of Fay, Scholz,
Max Breitung and others, the con-
spirators became very cautious and
finally closed the factory on April l,
