t- Governor Frcar didn't know that he was making a yellow dog
speech. But the only expression which seems to be regarded as Vorthy
of preservation, in the course of his thoughtful Aala park political ad
dress, is' "yellow dog. " It is cruel indeed that a man of Frear's dispo
sition and character should be boomed in local politics as the author of
such an expression. However, we must get used to it. A vast major
ity of the community has grown accustomed to being called grafters.
Apparently it is necessary, in local politics, to get used to the revolting
term yellow dog.

California's health authorities are vigorously though not harshly en
forcing the pure food law. While satisfied with the minimum penal
ties and banking on the educative influence of examples, they arc cast
ing a dragnet for all dealers in food commodities who neglect or evade
the provisions of the law. Under the old Hawaiian pure food law a
very considerable reform has been brought about here. Now that there
is Federal co-operation in the service the public ought to be well guar
anteed against being poisoned by deleterious substances and cheated
by adulterations . in the articles of sustenance for which their good
money is expended.
The Advertiser answers the challenge with regard to John Wise
with two charges' against him: First, he is a political turncoat; and,
second, he is a member of some absurd imaginary grafting conspiracy
that afflicts the Advertiser columns like a mania. The first charge will
have to be admitted. The Star has never dreamed of denying it,
it merely remarked that in ability "he could challenge comparison with
Republican-Democrat-ITomc Rule-Independent Iaukca," whom the Ad
vertiser is supporting. If party consistency or loyalty is the test, how
about Long, whom the Advertiser is also supporting? As for the
conspiracy, it is simply tiresome rot.
CARLO LONG AND LORD BACON.
Lord Bacon to the rescue now ! The Advertiser, in trying to defend
Long's political pledge-breaking, has jumped from James G. Blaine to
Lord Bacon's history of Henry VIII. It is indeed inspiring to imagine
Carlo Long, before he went to the convention and decided to ignore a
plain pledge in its Rules, poring over the tomes of Bacon and reaching
the momentous conclusion that, because Bacon held that "no parlia
ment can bind its successor," Long need not keep his political pledge
in a Honolulu Republican convention. It is apparent from the "foxes-have-holes'"
letter that before announcing himself Long must have con
sulted the Bible. What else was studied besides Bacon and the life
of James G. Blaine?
But leaving Lord Bacon and Blaine to rest in peace, it is enough
answer, pernaps, to state that if the rule which Loner ignores is not in
force neither is any other, and the party organization is absolutely
without rules1 for guidance. This is absurd. Under what rules were
the Central Committees named? Under what rules arc precinct clubs
an over the island governed today? If a dispute arises in any precinct,
under what rules is it finally referred to the highest central' committee?
"The late county convention, not having agreed to these rules," says
the Advertiser. How did it separate into two district con
ventions' but under these Rules? How decide the apportionment and
numDer 01 central committees except under the Rules ?
However, there is no need for further argument. The convention
did agree to the Rules. Here is an extract from a report made to the
convention itself less than two weeks ago: "Each precinct shall an
nounce us cnoice tor committeeman agreeably to ARTICLE 1 SEC
TION 1, OF THE RULES' OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY."

Because The Star criticized John Wise seven or eight years ago,
and because it thinks he is the best material now available for sheriff,
the Advertiser brings an accusation of inconsistency. And on the same
editorial page, it publishes approvingly as part of an editorial defend
ing Long some erudite remarks by "a lawyer" whom it has lambasted
.as it has Brown. Who would ever have thought that he would be founTI
helping the Advertiser to write editorials to support Long?
Long's lawyer defender had better give up Lord Bacon and the
British Parliament. They don't apply. Try Machiavelli.
Drs Brinckerhoff and Wayson write in the careful manner of
scientists in telling of the good results of the Nastin leprosy treatment,
with which they have been experimenting. But this only makes their
statements the more impressive. They open up the prospect of the
first release, as liarmlcss, of a proved leper. Surely here is a step for
ward which is of vast importance.

Iaukea is forcing his officers to resign because they arc candidates
for office But there are no signs of an Iaukea resignation in order to
run. Perhaps he won t run.
One of the humors of the campaign is the Advertiser, bitterly as
sailing Wise for changing his party too often and at the same time
supporting Iaukea, who has belonged to all parties in turn and now runs
.independent, and at the same time, also, accusing The Star of incon
sistency for not objecting to Wise's changeablenes's. Only nhvsical

A DIAMOND DEAL.
The recent Slevlcr case In London
revived some Incidents In the career ot
that dead celebrity "Barney" Darnato,
amateur actor and diamond expert,
against whom, smart although of
course ho was, the following yarn la
told:
When the late Cecil Rhodes wts at
the head of the De Deers Company, at
a time when they had for sale 220,000
carats of diamonds, he was approached
by Barney Barnato with an offer for
tho lot In one parcel. To this pro
position Mr. Rhodes replied, ''Yes, you
shall- have them for that on one con
dition." "What condition?" asked tho other.
"That you let me see a sight no
human eye ever saw yet."
'What's that?" Inquired tho would
be purchaser.
"Why,"' snld Mr. Rhodes, "a bucket
ful of diamonds In one heap."
"Done!" cried Barney, to close the
deal on his own terms.
So they emptied the De Beers dia
monds Into a bucket. Then came the
turn of Mr. Rhodes, who practically
had to himself the diamond market
during six weeks, the time required for
restoring tho stones into their ICO
classifications. Harper's Weekly.

EDITOR STAR: Apropos o the editorial In this morning's Advertiser,
its legal adviser is as dead us Lord Bacon. The rule that one convention
cannot bind another has nothing to do with the case at hand. Tho rules which
are adopted from time to time In each convention are merely rules for the
government of the convention Itself and relate to the order oE business and
procedure. The rules under which Long went to the convention are the
standing rules of tho party which, by their terms (Art. 8) may be amended
by a two-thirds vote of the Territorial Committee. These standing, rules dif
fer as much from the rules of a convention as the U. S. Constitution does
from the rules of procedure adopted by Congress. These standing rules are
the constitution of the party. Under them the precinct clubs organize, elect
officers and hold primaries and send delegates to conventions. If these rules
have no binding force there was no warrant for holding the convention, and
the whole thing was a delusion and a farce.. If the contention of the Ad
vertiser's legal adviser is correct, there was no convention, no nominations
have been made, there are no legally constituted territorial or county com
mittees, in fact, no Renublican party.
REPUBLICAN DELEGATE.
(From the Sunday Hawaii Shinpo.)
"No man can serve two masters;
and no Japanese can be a good sub
ject of the Mikado and a good Ameri
can citizen at the same time," is what
the Hawaii Shinpo says, discussing
the education of Hawalian-Japancso
children, "Our local condition Is fast
undergoing a change and thero 10
growing a general sentiment favor
lng the settling down of tho Japanese
in tho Territory, In view of thU
thero must bo a change in the oduca
tio-nal system ot our children."
"For those' Japanese who are golnsr
back to their, own country after a
few years stay m tho Islands, it is
well that their children are educaten
along the Japanese line," says the
paper, "but If tho children art goinw
to remain and live hero permanonuy.
their education must bo along tho
line of Americanism."
"Without forcing Americanism
among those who intend to go back
to their, country, this new sentlinenr
among us must be fostered nlong with
tho new system of education for our
next generation. With a proper edu
cation the traits of samurai spirit'
will manifest itself as patriotism for
America in the character of our chil
dren, who will lovo and respect the
Stars and Stripes as do tho descend
ants of tho Mayflower immigrants" is
the way the Shinpo concludes Its editorial.
tho editor of tho Jlyu Shinbun, which
is the Shlnpo's ovenlng edition, thinks
differently. Ho says: "The question
of our children's education, whether
they should be educated along Ameri
can lines or whether in Japanese,
largely depends on the attitude of tho
American people themselves, in their
treatment of the Japanese and in de
ciding the political rights of our Hawaiian-born
children." Tho editor
quotes an incident as a sign of tho
assimilation of our younger genfera
tion with tho American people and re
lates how thoroughly American Hire
our young boys conduct their meet-

Tn spite of the disastrous result of his last challenge. Bryan has chal
lenged Roosevelt again. The Big Stick will probably raise another
lump. S
It now appears that Hearst bought those Foraker letters, from some
one who Imtl stolen them. For the sake of other statesmen -who may
be worrying about missing correspondence,, Foraker ought to"prose-
cute Hearst for receiving stolen goods. '
The national campaign shows' the results of lack of issues. Taft
and Bryan are in harmony upon the issues which hold the main atten
tion of the country. They are in' a sort of rivalry as to which is really
the most anxious to carry on the "Roosevelt policies." Bryan would
like to call them, the Bryan policies, but thef;name won't stick. In the
meantime, having no broad campaign line of policies upon which to
get up an exciting disctission.the rival parties are exposing one anotn
er s vulnerable men with effects winch must delight Hearst, the key
note of whose whole campaign is that neither of the old parties are
worthy.
The discovery of an immense sun spot by Dr. Brashcar at Pitts
burg is coincident with the more than ordinary violence of volcanic
activity on the Island of Hawaii. Whether the'events are related the
scientists may be left to discuss.
