and from the first day of her rule it
was apparent that ah w& not in
sympathy "With tha -reform . party,
which, had ' held , the ascendancy in
Hawaii since 18ST. It was the Queen's
ambition to restore the absolute mon
archy, and rule to regal state as a der
spot whose word was law. : She dis
liked constitutions and parliaments
and aU the machinery of democratic
government ". and she set about the
task of Betting rid of snca incum
braaeea ; On 'Jan.- 15, 1888, she at
tempted to proclaim' new constitu
tion in the" direction of absolute pow
er. Ene quickly discovered that she
had gone too far. . The Queen's min
isters opposed the change, and a com
mit ee of safety was formed which, on
Jan.. IT, deposed the Queen and kind
ly but firmly informed her that the
country could fret aloos without her
services. Sanf ord B. Dole, an . Amer
ican of Hawaiian' birth, was ! at the
head of the provisional "government.
The United States cruiser Boston ar
rived at Honolulu, and her command
er, Capt. "Wlltse, landed several hun
dred sailors and marines. The revo
lution was Already an accomplished
fact, and the people were so united
against the Queen's regime that the
aid and encouragement offered ' by
Minister Stevens and the American
forces did hot affect the Issue. The
Queen, however, chose to attribute
her downfall to the Interference of
the United States, and Issued a pro
clamation, in which she declared that
she yielded to "the superior force of
the United States of America." As a
matter of fact, the marines landed
from the Boston took no part In in
fluencing the course of events, but
acted only to -protect the lives and
property of Americans. When 'the
provisional government took posses
sion of the government buildings no
troops or officers of the United States
took any- part in the proceedings.
Within a day the representatives of
the provisional government were in
effective, possession of the buildings,
treasury, barracks, police stations and
all the machinery of government, and
the royal troops - made only a bare
show of resistance.
In 184 the provisional government
resolved itself into a republic, with
Sanf ord B. "Dole as ' president." ' Dole
was a strong advocate of Hawaii's an
nexation to the. United States, and be
. came governor of the territory after
the Stars and Stripes had been raised
over the Islands. ...
LLOYD-GEORGE, "XIOS
TALKED OF JIAN IN ; u
ENGLAND",' IS 51 TODAY.
The Rt. Hon. David itjoyd-Oeorge,
Chancellor of the British JSxchequer.
has been called "the most talked-of
man in England", and that expresses
It but mIMly; The Welshman who
baa set Great Britain by the ears, and
- who Is variously described as an an
archistic agitator and the ' greatest
living constructive statesman, was
born flftfc-on? years, ago today. Welsh
to the core of him, and with all the
irankness, directness and? , bulldog
tenacity pf that people, Lloyd-George
had wo&t ie considers the misfortune
to be born beyond the limits of Wales.
It was in" busy, . bustling Manchester
that h first saw the light of day on
Jan. IT, 1863. His father, William
Oeorge, was the master of the Uni
tarian school la Liverpool, but his ca
reer as a pedagogue was not crowned
1 y financial success, and he turned
iarmer. In that he was also a failure,
trnd David was only a small- boy when
his father died, leaving, behind hirr,
nothing but debts. One of his first
and bitterest memories wiis the said
tiC all his mother belongings to Sat-lsf-
a dtbt due to a wealthy land
lord. It may be that that incident
k&S had much to do wit-h shaping
If A Man Soys lie Loves Dogs And -Kicks
Every Dog He Sees, What
Would You Say About What He Says?
ORDINARY men and women are busy, confiding and hope
ful. They like to believe good of. other people. They
will usually accept what a man says he-will do as a guarantee
of his purpose, and will only. be. undeceived, when that man's
actions have shown his' bad faith.1 : ' " '
i ,This honest, homely confidence which abides in the people
is frequently played upon by politicians who "promise much
and give little. ' ' -
But such politicians may be tested by the simple method of
comparing their words with their actions. . . , ""' ' .
Theresas once a man who pretended to love dogs, and he
got quite a name in the community for his supposed humanity
and friendliness. , ' " '
But presently it was observed that this man scarcely ever
saw a dog without kicking it, or. doing it some" other injury, if
opportunity presented. ' t ' t " -i - ' 1 , ' 1
. Presently it became known 'that this man waV untruthful
and a hypocrite, because -he pretended to love dogs,' and hated
them , ; '" ; ...!:'.;.; ,' '.' '
Mayor Wilson says he loves the merit system, and civil serV
vice. v :i..:Ct 'Wk .V-'i 'i ;V;vV Jil',,;" A'.Al vi,-J:AQT
But every.time he gels a chance, he aims a kick at merit, or
throws civil service principles overboard. 1 V ? . v'
Recently he caused the appointment of fifty policemen. It
is notorious tha,t the rules of merit which had hitherto prevail
ed in such appointments were ignored, and' that the places were
filled along grossly political lines., ' 7
" Also Mayor .Wilson wants to throw out of the department
some ,very serviceable, veteran' police officers, who have done
good work' and are beloved iii the community. ; ) V y v ." i Kl. '
;- Politicians want the jobs for their friends. -vTb do this thing
Mayor Wilson, must kick out the civil service rules which pro
vide that police officers shall hold
" Another measure of .Mayor Wilson's affection, fpr merit and
civil-service was the way he kicked Inspector David Lynch out
of Ms' place in . the health department.
v Lynch was an efficient officer. - Everybody knew it, but the
politicians wanted his job. - ' .' "
;, While .tliese, things are1 going on; Mayor .Wilson talks blithe.
ly, and The Standard speaks sweetly of merit and civil service.
The law is that a ten per cent, petition will compel the sub
mission of the merit and civil service program, and' the people
may adopt it. A , ' v 1 , - , t.
; But if the; mayor is not bound by the civil service which
Bridgeport has, how is he. more .likely to respect a larger meas
ure of it in stnie' other form? ' ; '
!:; v Merit and civil service in municipal appointments are some
thing more than rules on paper. They are principles to be ap
plied in fact. . . . , ' v i- 5 -.;7
. ":' THE APPROPRIATION BILLS ; -,
HOUGH THE proposed ahti-trusV laws now liave the" spot
light in Congress, the regular appropriation bills, come
home quite as close to where pe6ple really live.' The . correspon
dents do not mention them much, , unless representatives be
come .belligerent, but the , moneys-spending of our legislators
should hot escape with this slight scrutiny, ' .'o . ' . I .
? Much is being said at Washington and it is good talk, about
the? need for economy. But one should remember that a ssure
way to get applause in Congress is to demand economy, and
also that a sure way of being 'defeated for re-election is to re
fuse to vote for appropriations that -help- your own district. - -.
Every ohp laughs at the i absurd ' duplication of needless
army posts, for which the United States pays a heavy bill. Yet
if the appropriation for-a. single one of these posts is cut out,
Congress is flooded iwith petitions and letters of protest from
board of trade, mayor, governors, city councils 'and citizens. N
The river and harbor act or. yjio contained appropriations
for 296 congressional districts out of 391." It was a marvel of
pork distribution. .' It is an easy thing to get an initial grant
of $100,000 on a $2)00,000 project.. Then a like sum is , sure
every year, on the ground that otherwise the money previously
spent will be wasted.
It has always been customary for each cabinet minister in
this country to hand in a bill - of ;what he wanted, -regardless
of what any other department asked. 'This is the only civilized
government in the world where the administration has always
assumed so little responsibility for the totalj amount of money
expended. "' ' . .
Congress will be extravagant just as long as the-Congress-men
are sent to Washington, primarily to. get job3 for constitu
ents and expensive improvements for their own district. v
LJoyd-George's subsequent career as
the champion bf the "masses lt "maf
even have' marked a turning point In
England's history - H.-i: '- , : :
Schoolmaeter George; feesidee his
debts, left, to his widow, who was the
daughter of, t,a Baptisj '" '"' minister .
r umber of "hostage to fprtune." She
was unable to provide for all' her chil
dren, and David was adopted by an
uncle, Richard Lloyd, the, boy' moth
er's brother.' It was thuB . that he
Lained the hyphenated name of IJoyd
George. . Richard Lloyd was a:Camp
bellite Baptist preacher on Sundays
and a cobbler pri -yeek days;rJ- tis waa J
vtl educated, man; ondr eVery day the
people of the village and the country
side came to ' him "to read or write
letters and to seek advice in. times of
trouble. Listening to the pitiful tales
ot misfortune that came" from the lips
of these people' and to their denun
ciations, 6f landlords .in particular and
wealthy people "in general,-, 'naturally
fiUed Lloyd-George's mind with radi-
; thoughts. The uncle, poor as he
was, gave David an excellent educa
tion, and at sixteen the lad was arti
cled to a firm of solicitors. He had
barely reached his majority when he
was called to the ; bar, and within
eight years he had become one of the
leading lawyers of Wales. '.-.' :-'';r.A..l.r.-.
Temperance and land reform were
the principal planks of his platform
when Lloyd-George entered, the ; poli
tical arena. He also made war on
the enforced payment of tithes to the
Established Church, and thus won the
admiration of all " Welsh Non-conformists.
In 1890 he was elected to
Parliament, and in hi3 very first ad-
dress he became a national figure by
office during good behaviour.
his arraignment of Joseph Chamber
lain- and Lord Randolph Churchill,-
and: his vehement attack on the priv
ileges of the. liquor traffic, -Iii later
addresses he f displayed i qualities s . of
scathing satire,; better ridicule A nnd
brilliant sarcasm ' that made" him ' the
most feared men In the House. Wl-.en
the Liberals were returned to power-
In" 18 0 5, ? Lloyd-George was made
President of the Board of 'Trade, and
In i 9 0 8" he assumed ; the. portfolio of
Chancellor. of the Exchequer, apposi
tion which has enabled him to Initiate
many radical and revolutionary meas
ures. -
ANTARCTIC EXPEDITIONS.
The first antarctic expedition in
history was that of Capt. James
!ook, of the . British navy, who was
the first to cross the antarctic circle,
141 years ago today,1 Jan. 17, 1778.
Capt. Cook was" commissioned by the
British .admiralty to make the trip,
and was given command of two ves
sels, the Resolution and Adventure,,
It was then believed that there was a
great southern continent at the "bot
tom of the world," and the principal
purpose of the expedition, was to
prove or disprove this theory. Cook
reached his farthest south in' Janu
ary,' 1774. This was 71 degrees, 10
minutes south latitude, near the 110th
meridian of west longitude. Cook
discovered South Georgia and . the
Sandwich group of islands before re
turning to Cape Town. For half a
century Cook's farthest south record
stood, and then began the series of
expedition which culminated in the
discovery of the South Pole, by
Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer,
on' Dec. 14, 1911 and the tragic death
of Capt. Scott and his companions on
a similar quest. ; '
This is the 208th birthday of Ben
jamin Franklin, tallow-chandler,
printer, editor, author., philosopher,
inventor, . postmaster, j, patriot, diplo.
mat, scinetist, thinker, and one ' of a
very few men in .all -history who have
combined genius . and common sense
in the same personality. "v

To the' Editor of The Farmer, Sir:
I recently read in your.' columns a
communication relating to the owner
ship of steamboat lines by manufac
turers and others running airoctiy to
New York i from Bridgeport and other
Connecticut ports., v ,v' i
I want to say that the farmers,
truck-gardeners and others in agricul
tural pursuits , would not only sub
scribe heavily to any such project but
It should be advocated ' from a' : spirit
of progresslvenessi ' and 1 convenience -
Thousands - of ' farmers'- in this see
Hon would benefit and the rural com
munity would receive added stimulus
if these steamboat lines could be run
co-operatively by -and ( tor' the peo
plei ;- o-: v f y . ' " : - ; , '-.-1 ;-- .: -
All along , the Hudson river steams
boat lines are partly owned , by -farmers,
fruit raisers and those, capitalists
who live in" the small river towns. The
lines not . only, carry 'their produce o
the New York market, but -act as, com
mission agents in , the big cities, sell
lng "the fruit upon arrival of : . the
steamer. ; The profits'1 of transporta
tion and saving in. commissions revert
back to the producer, who has his lit
tle .share in the. stock of the - boat
companies.'. ' ...,-,-,.,!
More than that, since the Inaugura
tion ..of 1 co-operatively run lines the
upper Hudson, valley has -grown in
wealth, vineyards, orchards and berry
patches springing up .like mushrooms
and increasing land, values as well as
enriching the farmers. -
Such a movement- in - this section,
would result in untold blessing to the
individual and the community- here.
Hundreds of small subscribers , for
such a 'scheme, can be secured among
the farmers here at any time. .

said last night at the annual dinner
of the National Guard association:
"Those , qualified to speak are al
most unanimous in declaring that . If
a sudden and. perilous crisis . should
arise, . the nation would not be in 'a
position to meet it in a manner wor
thy of its rank and resources.
"The National Guard and Its friends
are doing their, share toward placing
the military strength of the United
States on a. proner .. footing, but . they
can multiply their service to the na
tion by arousing their neighbors to 4
realization of actual conditions." ,

breaking , of the. great dam of the
Westa Virginia Pulp and Paper com
pany at Dobbin, W. Va., which flood
ed the. Potomac River Valley, resulted
in no loss of life and comparatively
small property loss; is attributed to
the signal brigads of telephone girls

of the water to run down the gorge

IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES
'"-- (The Barron Service)
New York. Jan. 17 Developments
of the past few days have dispelled a :
igreat deal of doubt andv uncertainty
attaching to' the position of New Ha
ven. The road has entered a new era.
It Is no longer the New Haven trans
portation monopoly, but the New -Haven
Railroad, devoting- 'its energies
and equplment to the handling of . the
big volume of freight and passenger
traffic that comes to It by virtue, of
its excellent position in a, rich traffic
territory. : Confidence is expressed oa
every hand that the road has reach
ed the burning point, and with its ag
gressive and thoroughly capable man
agement it is expected that before the
passing of many years the system, will
have regained : its former high - credit
and prosperity. .. .
A. final decision with regard to New
Haven's Sound, lines is awaited with
much interest. The steamship hold
ings which the road must dispose ,of,
it is said, will De sola at a consiaer-
able loss. ; An : interesting situation
will be presented by the sale of in
terest in the Eastern Steamship Co.
and . the Merchants' &' Miners Trans
portation Co., if ' by : any chance these
companies . decide to combine for. a
coastwise service extending from Bal
timore to St., John's, N, B. It is con
ceded that such a merger would, mean
powerful competition for the New
Haven and its Sound lines, assuming
that it were permitted to retain them.
The reason for the recent decline in
American Writing Paper : 5 per cent
bonds is that the company was prob-'
'ably unable . to earn fixed . interest
charges In the fiscal year which end
ed - December -31 .. by something like
1125,000. - The company does an an
nual .business of about , $12,000,000
-gross, but of late -the unsettlement in
general business conditions coincident
with higher dost of raw materials and
labor has ut a severe strain on it.
. It ife denied that the Anferican Can
Co. has formulated any plan involving
a - voluntary - dissolution to ; Btay Gov
emment action. The company's posi
tion,.- in other words, is the same as
when the Government ; Tiled its suit.
In the event - of the company fight
ing the suit through the courts, , It Is
improbable that, the1, remainder of
back, dividends on thepr ef erred, stock,
which equal $3,700,000, will be paid
out this year, as the defense of the
suit would doubtless prove to be a
heavy drain on the treasury. The
company - did. as.' well In : 1913 as In

charges on the outstanding ; $14,0 00,-

WHILE the confidence of the people of this country m the individual
characters of their judges is great, tho courts have of late years
; been subject to grave criticism for the principles upon which
they act and the prevailing tendency of their decisions.
THESE CRITICISMS HAVE BEEN GREATLY FOSTERED, BY THE
PUBLIC ADDRESSES OF THE TWO LlVlNQ EX'PRESIDENTS OF THIS
COUNTRY, BOTH OF WHOM I HAVE THE HOJMOR OF KNOWING AND
BOTH OF WHOM IN THEIR PERSONAL CHARACTERS I HIGHLY RE
- 8PECT. , 'A'- - -' - i.
I resent their criticism not because I believe that courts more than
