ANNEXATION OF
MEXICO WOULD
HIT HARD HERE
Southern Country Could Pro-
duce More Sugar Than Ha-
wall, Says ]. H. Wilson

That il would be poor policy fol
anyone from Hawaii to advocate the
annexation of either the whole or q
part of Mexico by the United States
is the opinion of John H. Wilson
Democratic national committeeman,
and one of the leaders of the McCand
less-Wilsou' faction of local Bourbons
who arrived in Honolulu Tuesday
evening from the mainland, where he
attended the national convention al
ST. Louis as one OF Hawaii's dele
gates.
The Bourbon war-horse says that
the only objection he heard against
the reelection Of President Wilson
was the latter's Mexican policy, but,
he declared, when you trace the
source of objection you find that ii
begins in the Hearst camp or in the
camps of others who have large prop
critics in Mexico"
AS regards his personal opinion Of
annexation of Mexico by the United
States, Wilson says: -.
They could raise more sugar down
in Mexico than could ever be produc-
ed in Hawaii, owing to the excellent
soil 1t would only be a matter of
growing the cane and manufacturing
the sugar with the cheap labor which
abounds there, and then loading it
into cars and shipping it,
Chances Reelection Good.
Wilson declares that the presidents
chances for reelection are excellent,
and that he doubtless will be called
upon to serve a second term.
Il made it point to size up the
situation he says, "and I found that
the entire Middle West is strong for
Wilson. AS regards the objections
Of the Hearst camp, there are lot
of people who probably do not know
that the great Hearst ranch is locat-
ed in Northern Mexico, and II the
United States ever annexed Northern
Mexico, or the whole country, the
Hearst ranch would be worth $780,
100000" ..- g.. -
Comments on Stuart Episode. z
Wilson says that Judge T. B. Stu
art insisted on resigning and stated
that he did not want to come back
to Hawaii. a tried to get him to
withdraw his resignation, but there
was nothing doing" he states.
In the national committeeman's
opinion, II President Wilson is reelect-
ed the provisions of the home rule
plank in the national platform will be
carried out to the letter In Hawaii
providing" he says, that we can
get along without the mud-slinging
which has occurred since Wilson's
election" ,s.,sSzs.. 49, ". =
He says he has not the slightest
idea how long Pinkham will be gov.
ernor, and is Of the opinion that Judge
Stuart is not after the governorship,
although certain of his friends are
supporting him fer the position.
Il think that Stuart will go back
to his home n Denver" Wilson says
and stay there He is man of
means and does not have to work"

The conception of this big mountain post does
credit progressive citizens of Hawaii and the army

| the status OF California oil lands vii
remain unchanged until next year, ID
the latest mainland advice. Tuesday
afternoon the Star-euIietin received
a cable which says: "Phelan oil land
bill goes over to December. Steering
committee refused to alIot time fo'
consideration at this session"
In a statement issued July Secre-
tary Franklin K. Lane makes a refer
ence to the properties of Honolulu
Consolidated Oil which is of much in
terest to stockholders OF the company
who are largely residents of this city.
Relative to his statement the San
Francisco Chronicle publishes the
following:
Replying to a recent assertion OF
Clifford Pinchot, president of the Ma
tional Conservation Association, that
Secretary Franklin K Lane has been
trying to persuade Congress to pass
an amendment to the general mineral
lands leasing bill, which would give
titles or preferential leases to Cali
fornia oil operators busted from their
claims by the Taft withdrawal order,
Lane gave out the following state
ment:
Where the warrant comes for such
statement l do not know. The only
time that anything like it was pre-
scented to me was when Lieutenant
Governor Eshleman brought similar
proposal to me and told him that I
would not stand for ii. The Phelan
amendment has never been referred
to me by Congress, nor does any per-
son who ever talked with my labor un-
der the delusion that favor it. I
am in favor of passing an oil leasing
bill along the lines of the Ferris bill
passed by the House twice in the last
two years, The difference between
the Phelan, amendment and the pro-
visions Of the Ferris bill is one of
nberality in treatment of claimants.
In my last annual report / express
ly stated that / would not assume to
say what policy should be- followed
as to the naval reserve lands. There
is no danger of the navy being short
Of oil, for there are nearly 100000
acres. of public oil lands now with
drawn. Included therein are two spe.
cial naval reserves which are practi-
eally free from adverse claims These
contain approximately 130,oO0,000 bar
rels of oil. --..
ITO keep 100000 acres of oil land
locked up indefinitely while gasoline
is climbing higher is not good sense
and plays into the hands of monopoly.
If Congress can at this time deal with
leasing legislation, sane and conser-
vative legislation will result that win
help every real developer and con-
sumner interested in oil and gasoline
and which will prevent waste and mo-
nopoly. r.
The only difference that has arisen
between Mr. Gregory. Mr.. Daniels and
myself has been over the soundness
of a legal decision (the Honolulu
ease) rendered by the Commissioner
of the General Land Office touching
a private claim within a withdrawn
area which / am so certain is correct
that / have offered to submit the mat
ter to the courts for decision"

Federal Drainage for South.
Congressman Reavis stated that
congress had appropriated 100000
to give drainage benefits to- the farm
erS of the south, and that the farmers
OF Richardson and Pawnee counties
and the other counties in Nebraska
had been compelled to get the same
results by heavy special assessments
and charges against their lands. Con-
gress, he said, could not be particular
ly generous to any one section and at
the same time be just to all, He as
serted that he had always voted
against such discriminating legislation
and that his opponent had always vot-
ed for such legislation.
Both speakers remarked upon the
prosperity of today, but asserted that
it is nothing to bras about, as it is
built upon the graves OF the best
young men i'll Europe and made pos
sible by the woes of world. After
the war, with the present Underwood
tariff, they urged that the United
States would be inviting the countries
of the world to make the United
States their dumping ground, and that
then prosperity would not reign STU
preme, as the present high prices were
due to the fact that all Europeans are
now consumers and not producers,
that the United States is exporting
chiefly and because there is little i'm
porting. Only one thing will save the
United States from industrial disaster
after the war, they said, and that is
the protective tariff for which the re-
publican party has always stood.
Mr.. Kennedy drew the farmers to
him by the declaration that he had
farmed in two countries and had an
eleven days steerage passage in be-
tween. Many of his hearers today have
enjoyed a similar experience.

Rail Commission Comes
To Deadlock With Reed

Lincoln, Sept. 26.-(Special. THE
railway commission has asked Attor-
ney General Reed to, prosecute the
Farmers Cooperative Elevator COM
pany of Riverdale for failure to abide
by the state warehouse law-although
Mr.. Reed has pronounced the law I'M
constitutional and unenforceable. Mr..
Reed has indicated that he will not
prosecute, since he does not believe
that it can be done successfully.
The commission complains against
the elevator company on the grounds
that it is not submitting its monthly
reports.
Mr.. Reed holds the law unconsti-
tutional, because, in his opinion, a
grain elevator is not common car
rier. The State Railway commission
has authority only over common car
riers, according to the state constitu-
llOu.

none the less surely, the British have
pushed their advance on the north OF
the German salient. Their struggles
to reach and hold Ginchy and Guile
mont were expensive in time and men,
but finally the ground north OF
Combles and some distance 10 the
east was occupied, putting the town
in pocket OF which the opening was
constantly beng narrowed by the
drives of the entente armies.
Close Opening of Pocket.
Yesterday came the combined eff
fort of the French and British to
close the opening or at least render
it so narrow that what could be ex-
tracted through it by Germans would
not be-worth while. Only two roads
remained over which the Germans
could withdraw their men and guns.
The single track railroad running
through the place had long since been
rendered useless.
Attacking from the north, General
Haig's forces pushed to and occu-
pied Morval, cutting the northerly
road to LIE Transloy.
Striking from the south the French
pushed their line to Fregcourt, sever
