SAMOAN RULER
IS DICTATOR

Representative government will
supplant the most absolutely
monarchical power now exercised
anywhere, if the congressional
commission which recently visited
American Samoa with Senator
Bingham, of Connecticut, has its
way. :
The government of Samoa is
unique. It's 10000 people, gov
erned by the United States, are
still not a. part of it. It's ruler
is. usually a U. S. Navy captain.
and he has the power of life and
death.
The commissioners found much
to praise in the unique method
of ruling people under the Amer
lean flag.
The Navy captain is governor
Of the islands. His term OF
office" by Navy orders, is 13
months. He can make a law in
the morning and send native
to jail in the afternoon for VIC
1ating it, although the native
never heard Of the law. His com.
mand even is law.
This despotism nevertheless has
been benevolent. say the COM
missionerS. In 80 years of this
kind Of rule, they say, but one
Navy captain has given an unsat-
isfactory administration.

Is not a member Of the investi-
eating committee, denies these
rumors while at the same time
intimating that he knows Of

GOOD FELLOWS
AID IS SOUGHT
BY CHILDREN
Appeals Pour Into Times Of
flee for Food and Toys;
Necessities Desired by Many

Necessities Desired by Many
Every mail delivery brings let
ters from, poor persons asking
Good Fellows to come to their
aid.
Many of them are from chill
dren. They say they want toys
for themselves and food for their
parents, who cannot find en-
ployment to purchase them for
them. It's not strange that the
kiddies ask for toys for them
selves at this time of the year.
None of them think of food when
the Christmas spirit gets in the
air.
Elders Made Appeals
Letters from the grownups also
ask for toys for their children.
But they make a stronger plea
for food. They know that the
toys will make a great Christmas
for the children. but they know
also that what is the use Of CIV
ing the youngsters toys If their
"tummieS" are empty.
Times are hard this year due
to the financial depression and
the lack Of work. But it must be
remembered that the vast
majority of people in Washing
ton are employed and getting the
same wages they have been get
ting during the last few years.
None will enjoy Christmas to the
fullest extent If they stop to
think that while their children
have oodles Of toys and their
tables are loaded down with the
usual Christmas food, many poor
kiddies and their parents are
doing without on that outst md
ing day.
Times Saw Need
That Is why The Washington
Times started the Good Fellows
movement. The publisher and
editors of the paper thought that
in the vast army of employed
there are many Good Fellows who
would be willing to share their
Christmas joys with the unfor-
tunates of the city. That can be
done easy by buying toys for
kiddies whose parents cannot do
so and by sending them food.
A Good Fellow came in today.
He. is Alfred O'Shea, one Of the
worlds outstanding tenors. Many
say he is a second John McCor.
mick. He will give a concert at
the Mayflower Hotel next Sunday
afternoon. He read about the
Good Fellows and he wants to be
one. So he promised to give IL
per cent of the proceeds Of the
concert to the Good Fellows or
ganization Go to that concert
You will be we'll entertained and
