will not lie given up. It will be won

One claim made against the direct

This Is it very general term, unci In
many Instances very eftecthe In qui
eting people who will not take tltu
trouble to look further.
The direct-primary principle Is
making steady headway, however,
unci the generality no longer suf
fices.
Hon will upset more cnmp.ilgn nils-
representations nnd prccnt dissatis
faction more effectively than any
theory or change In tho law.
The Kepttbllran party, however, In
nddltlon to n policy of Action bv the
Administration, has cause to carry
on a campaign of education. The
sooner Is gets to work the better.
SENATOR LANE PLEASED
(Continued from Pa?e 1)
interview in which ho speaks In tho
highest terms of tho work already
done by the Territorial physicians,
which he nppaicntly did not think of
nt the time his first statement was
States and municipalities lmvo given out.
tested this method oi nomination and
they 11ml that It doos vork. The
claim Is also made that tho voters
will not tnko part In these primar
ies; that they stay at homo. Just as
they do when party caucuses are be
ing held.
This claim Is not borne out by tho
facts In tho State of Iowa, whero n
very fair test was mndo In tho con
test for tho nomination ot United
States Senator. A total vote ot 104,
945 was registered and showed the
widest participation ot Republicans.
This was tho contest In which tho
late Senator Allison won.
Commenting on tho result, tho
Dcs Moines Register . (Republican)
Bald: "Not only has the popular will
been fairly expressed, but It has been
expressed quietly, without disorder,
coercion or bribery; there has been
freedom from drunkenness and fraud.
As for expense, which will bo most
talked about by those who would
abandon tho now system, wo under
take to say that more monoy has been
spent In a single campaign in the
Seventh Congressional District than
has been spent this year in the entire
State."
Of course wo know that the old-
line politician does not like tho direct
primary. Ho has no chance to ma
nipulate a convention. Tho nominees
ure voted for direct by tho people.
Tho men whom the people want nro
put up for the Until voting. There Is
no Intermediate Jockeying.
The result In Iowa Is nieiely ono
of the splendid proofs that tho dlrcrt
primary will not only work, but It Is
the best guarantee for earning out
the will ot tho people that has jet
been brought out In the American
scheme of government.
A plank for the dlicct piimnry
must go In the Republican platform
In this Territory this year, elso the
party will repudiate its own argu
ments of two years ago. May wo
also hope that the Democrats will
have the good sense to declare for
cibly for tho direct primary. There
Is no better means for carrying out
the alleged purpose ot the Democrats
Equal rights to all; special privi

The letter of Senator Lane, which
undoubtedly carries tho views ot u
largo majority of tho Hawaiian-
Americans, Is given:

old policy should have been abolished

Honolulu, Hawaii, August 13, 1908.
Honorable John C. Lano, Honolulu,
T. II.
Dear Sir: I am very much grati
fied to recehe your letter of tho 12th
Instant In regard to tho newly adopted
policy concerning leprosy. I am very
glad to know that this commends It
self to your Judgment nnd Is In har
mony with tho views that you have
ong entertained. It Is a Biuilect to
which several of us in tho Executive
department hnvo given conslderablo
thought ror somo months past ana wo
feel confident that no mistake has
been mailo In entering upon tho now
policy. Wo regret that wo nro not in
r. position at present to do very much
towards currying It out, but wo trust
that tho Legislature at its next session
will glvo us tho necessary support and
means. Ily cooperation along rational
lines, there would seem to bo no rea
son why wo cannot get ahead of tho
disease and begin to realize the good
effects of tho no wpollcy In a compar
atively short time.
Thanking you fur your kind wishes,
I remain.
Very Blncerly yours.
W. P. FREAIt.
Governor.
Stewart Talt was last evening taken
oft the transport Sheridan, on which
ho hud stowed iwny, and placed under
arrest for aliened embezzlement of .1
diamond stud, ilalmcd (o bu tho piop
erty of William Jack.
Tho affair eame up In court nt 2
o'clock this afternoon, it nppimrs tu
be much mixed up. Talt status that
tho ring wan sold him, and n local
man, acting for William Jne't, states
that tho ring wns given aj secjilty on
a loan of $50 which Tall inr.d'j to Jack.
Jack Is the man who had a fist fight
with Captain Itedfern of tho yacht
Gwondolyn at llllo, nnd came to this
city on his way back to tho Coast. Ho
was broke, and t.o secured tho money
hero for n steerage pnssago homo.
Talt told his version of tho transac
tion this morning. "William Jack
camo to a fellow I know and tried to
sell tho stone. Tho man didn't know
anything about stones, so ho told Jack
to wait and sec mo, ns I might do
something about It. I camo In pres
ently. It wns the first tlmo I ever
saw this man Jack, ,11c said ho want
ed to sell tho Ktono In order to get
passage money home. I told him that
might tako It If It camo nt a bar
gain. Ho nBkcd, 'How would ?50
Hrlke you?'
"I thought this was about right. It
was n straight sale.
"I was going out to Manila with my
baggago. I had had It packed for
tomo time,' but did not know Just
when I would leave. Of course. I had
no right on tho transport, but I know
ever) body on theso boats, and wanted
to save u few bucks tu getting to Ma
nila." Ho had an auptflntmcnt with Jack's
representative ii'sterduy afternoon.
und says he kept It, but tho other
failed to show up on time.
It appears that tho vesting ot pow
ers of attorney In another by Jack
was by advice from tho outside.

LAND QUESTION THE ISSUE.
If you nro looking tor tho policies
of a political party that pretends of
has tho good sense to keep In touch
with tho sentiment of Its rank and
file, watch tho action of, the rank
and file when the leaders nro making
their speeches.
On this very practical method of
forecasting the future, It Is clear that
the principal Issue ot the Democrats
In the local campaign this fall will
bo the land policy.
At the first rally of Democrats held
in this city, tho only bait thrown out
by the speakers to which tho audi
ence would rise with anything Ilka a
semblance ot enthusiasm, was tho
land bait. Tho people do not caro so
very much about Ilryan thoy don't
vote for him. They sea dangers In
the tariff, but they are not yet quite
clear on the subject.
When the land question Is brought
forward In any form, they prick up
their ears, They know what It
means, and It a Democrat, regardless
of the truth, puts the situation In a
manner that seems good to, them, thoy
applaud.
In settling; tho land question tho
II u 1 1 e 1 1 n has no bettor suggestion

It Is hold by the unofficial law In
terpreters that this means us many
compartments ns aro needed, may bo
put In.
Therefore they hold that tho split
ting up of city precincts, whore theio
Is no great difficulty In getting nbout
places nn additional expenso on tho
Territory without gaining anything
for tho people. Each new precinct
has to have Its full complement of
officers, nnd they have to bo paid, so
It Is thought that each new precinct
means nt least $100. extra expenso.
There seems to bo no feeling that
the action of the Governor Is Intend
ed to influence immediate party ad
ministration, as the changes In tho
precincts cannot bo mado till the com
Ing election, and naturally do not In
any way affect tho precincts the par
ties will recognize according to tho
rules for conducting the next pri
mary. Apparently the change will not
make much political difference, but
somo party workers want to know.
