W. M. Hill’s Candidacy
Should Appeal To the
Progressive Republic ans
“The government of the Ur.itoi Slat
nhoultl he operated as a ur--.* nusir e*-
corporation of 100,000,hi *0 *t *'k okic -
all with equal rights, with the menv er>
of the house of representatives and ot t* e
senate, in Washington, acting a> the
boar<l of directors.”
“The running of a government should
be, above all else, a business proposition
for business men.”
“The board of directors of a govern
ment should act for all of the stockhold
ers and not for any favored clique.
“The stockholders should be able to tell
exactly where their representatives on
the board of directors stand.”
We have quoted for you from the plat
form of William H. Hill, Republican can
didate for nomination for United Stai?s
senator by the people of Michigan.
There is nothing new in Mr. Hill’s sug-;
gestion for the operation of our govern
ment, because it was intended originally
that it not only SHOULD but would
HAVE TO BE operated that wav- to en- i
dure.
There IS something new in the sugges
tion as coming from a candidate for a
place on the board of directors, because
candidates for a membership aren’t brave
enough, as a rule, to make it known that
theirs is so clear a conception of just
what the people have a right to expect of
them.
Mr. Hill’s platform goes farther:
“The ideal man for a desk in the con
gress of the United States,” it says, “is
a hard-working, hard-headed business
man who attends to his knitting, acts as
his conscience and his business experi
ence tell him he should act, and who
doesn’t care a tinker’s continental wheth
er those acts are going to make votes
for him when the next election rolls
around.”
Michigan had grown tired of standpat
and reactionary representation when it
elected Charles Elroy Townsend to thr
United States senate.
Townsend owed his election to procrea
tive votes.
His record as a congressman had been
all that could have been desired and it
•ras because of that record tiiat the people
Chose him for a seat in the upper house,
Where Townsend proceeded to forget all
about the idea of the people being stock
holders in the corporation of which he
was a director.
If Burrows deserved defeat at Town
send’s hands for his failure to have kept
pace with sentiment and progress at
homo, Townsend deserves defeat in the
primaries of August 20 for the very same
reason.
Townsend as a senator has been a sore
disappointment to those who hailed the
populur nomination of United State- *n
ators in our state as a means of bringing
this office closer to the people.
His representation has been mostly of
Charles E. Townsend.
His attitude in Washington in late
pears has been one of independence of the
people at home and the primaries present
a fine opportunity for the people at home
to vote their independence of independent
representation.
Townsend has voted against trie real
Michigan sentiment on almost every im
portant issue. He is not a progressive.
He is a standpatter and he i> a reaction
ary.
He is everything the people of Michi
gan did not want when they elected him.
The candidacy of William 11. Mill offers
ft fine opportunity for the voters of Mich-
Stew who are progressive and who want
1 a chance to vote for some real representa
tion in the upper house, and an opportu
nity to rebuke the man uho betrayed
their confidence, forgot them and desert
ed them.
The Duty On Dye

This is what has been done for year*, but

The lesson is that we people here at home
pay all the tariff ta.*es »r.d that a quarter of
our living eipenses is made of these invisible
taxes—lo per cent of which *or les-) go to
the government and the balance into the- pock
ets of the privileged few.
This hurts farmer, worker ar.d merchant. Ir j

The Old Gardener Says
The aster beetle, that pestlfcr
Otis insect which feeds on the
flowers themselves, seems to
thrive on poison, unless the ap
plication Is strong enough to de
stroy the blossoms as well as
the bugs. Tobacco dust used
freely on the plants and dusted
on the ground under them will be
of some benefit, hut the only
stir* way to save the aster Is to
shake or knock the beetles Into
a pan of kerosene at least once
a day. Prompt action must be
taken, too. for thee# paste have

WMI.rKI AM) THE IAO VALLEY
Willuku (a town of Vat*!, Hiwallnn Inlands)
stands to windward between the West Maul
range end the ocean; and Wallukil Is drenched
In green and heavenly cool. The Trade blows
eternally through your rooms, a bland and tem
pered blast At your very door Is the entrance
to th** Iso Valley, which unites In a desperate
and tantalizing perfection all the essential beau
ties of all the valley a you have «een or dreamed.
The fantastic peaks rise ever ahead of you as
you wind up the road beside the stream. As
always in Hawaii, half the magic lh*s In the
gorges that open on either side so near. It
seems, that you could stretch your hand Into
them, yet Inaccessible for all that. They run
hack from the trail to a precipice* with a water
fall; and no human being has ever climbed that
* llff nr know# what lies Just beyond They are
narrow, and dark with a perpetual green twi
light; nnd wandering perfumes Invisibly gird
them In. The lan Valley Is about the size of
the Yosemlte, and If the photographers have
done any Juattce to the Yosemlte, the lao Valley
Is by far the more beautiful. It works back into
a tangle of peaks, and th« trail stops suddenly
at the brldg* over the torrent Thence toii can
only stare Fventually yon turn, having paid
one of those hitter farewells of the traveler.—
