This paper will be mailed regularly

The foreigner pays the -tax like

The World Herald truly remarks
that since the New York troops have
been sent to garrison Hawaii the sol
diers from California should immed
iately be shipped to Porto Kico The
people are cheerfully paying the
freight
Whenever a newspaper says any
thing against a minister of the gospel
the members of the church with which
the minister ss connected usually claim
that the church is attacked People
who look for something rich in this
weeks paper will be badly disappoint

If Judge Kinkakl can decide wheth
er or not he should accept the repub
lican nomination for governor between
now and state convention it will be
the quickest decision he has ever been
known to make The Judges friends
should have laid the matter before
him at least a year ago so he could
have carefully taken the matter under
advisement in the usual way At
kinson Plain Dealer
Whenever a newspaper has opinions
of its own it is sure to be of influence
and likewise will make enemies of a
few narrow minded fools who are al
ways looking for trouble and think
that their ideas on everything from
the quality of whiskey to the proper
method of salvation are the only cor
rect ones We have noticed however
that the newspaper with consistent
opinions always has more friends than
has the fools spoken of
The war tax is like the protective
tariff because in neither case does the
foreigner nor any other fellow pay the
tax The war revenue bill was de
signed to make the wealthy corpora
tions pay their just share of the bur
den but it doesnt work true to design
Take the telegraph and express com
panies for instance The law pro
vides that a revenue stamp shall be at
tached to every package and every
message handled by these companies
hut do the companies furnish the
stamps Jf you thins so just try to
send a message or a package and
learn who pays the tax We rejoice
that the war tax has been levied be
cause it will do more than all the ed
itorial writers and orators nave ever
done in opening the eyes of the peo
ple to the fact that the great corpora
tions of this country are wholly lack
ing in patriotism wholly indifferent to
the needs of the nation in time of war
just as they are indifferent to the
rights of the people in times of peace
Pajpillion Times
The Hawaiian Islands are now a
part of these United States Under
stress of war excitement the republi
cans in congress forced the measure
through and the islands have been an
nexed with all their Chinamen Kan
akas paupers filth and ignorance
The grand old republican party
which has posed for years and years
as the friend of the laborer and farm
er thus brings these two classes in
direct competition with the pauper
labor of the Hawaiians As a state
or part of the United States theres no
way of protecting the American
people from this labor and the Sugar
Trust has secured another victory
The senate even refused to incorpor
ate in the annexation resolutions or
hy other legislation a law abolishing
the contract labor system of the Ha
waiian islands The only thing gained
hy the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands will be a few jobs by republi
can politicians When a man tells
you that we need the islands for a
coaling and naval station take issue
with him at once and refer him to
this paper The passage of the an-
nexation resolution was the crowning
disgrace of this session of congress
and the reverend seiginors immedi
ately adjourned so as to go home and
the stench out of their nostrils
fat
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
2fow that the congress and president
of the United States have annexed
Hawaii we will soon settle down and
as American citizens will figure what
is best to do in the premises The
first thing that is to be done is to give
the politicians a tip to the effect that
we will not use the islands as a politi
cal football nor as an asylum for
broken down war horses of any pol
itical party Still another question re
mains to be solved to wit The
United States has for over thirty years
prided itself on the fact that every
mail citizen of proper age could have a
voice in the moulding of the govern
ment but what are we going to do
aboutjthe ignorant Kanakas Chinamen
and Malays who inhabit the islands
Will we admit them to full citizenship
at once If we dont what are we to
with the time honored declaration
all men are created free and equal
And if we do what political party
will control thsir votes
These Islands are about 3000 miles
from the American continent and it
takes at least three weeks time to com
municate with them will the govern
ment lay a cable to Honolulu The
United States prohibits contract la
bor but that system is in full force in
Hawaii and the U S senate refused
to legislate against it what will Am
erican laborers do about it Already
we have dispatched a regiment of
soldiers to garrison Honolulu are we
to maintain a standing army to enforce
the United States laws There are a
hundred questions to be solved about
these islands and the great American
people should begin to study them
There are some strange freaks in
human nature which cannot be ac
counted for on any other grounds than
that of depravity There is the can
didate for office who will saciilicc
friends and even family ties and re
sort to all manner of dishonest means
and methods to secure his election
He is void of honor and fidelity Then
there is the man for whom you have
labored and said good words and who
it may be owes his official position to
your earnest efforts in your behalf or
perhaps you have lavished kind words
to aid him in his business or who for
some trifling cause forgets all the
kindness you have shown him and be
comes your political or business enemy
and seeks to destroy your- good name
and patronage Gordon Journal
One of the queerest things that has
happened in connection with our naval
operations around Santiago was the
placing of Captain Sampson in com
mand of the ileet over Commodore
Schley and numerous other senior
officers Schley drove Cervera into
the harbor penned him there and
destroyed the Spanish fleet when it at
tempted to escape yet Sampson seeks
to take all the credit to himself
Annin the State Journals Washing
ton correspondent says thai Sampson
has ever held soft snaps and was
placed in command of the ileet through
the rankest kind of favoritism
The paper which some time ago
started out to convince strangers that
the police service is so inefficient in
Omaha that it would be unsafe for
them to come to the exposition has
now determined to clinch the arraign
ment by getting up a police row that
will invite thieves hither and from all
points of the compas and insure them
immunity from arrest by either of the
rival police factions Omaha Penny

The largest word in the English
language is proentirausubstantiation

Left Sparks at 0S0 a m arrived at Norden at
1215 p in slopped for dinner and fed onr teams
Left X01 den at 1 30 and arrive 1 at Johnstown at
ll0Jp m Onr loads were quite heavy but the
day was cool and pleasant and we got through
without a misshitch but tired well I should say
so ami Iruigrj as wolves Services had not
closed at the church and as soon as we drove up
in front of the house where our goods was to be
stoied I went to the church ro find my man to get
the key to the house as lie was not at the church
It took some time to find him and when I came
back my wife accused me o going over and at
tending church while she stood out and held th e
lorses but with all the lelp that J II Biggies
and Charles Lowes cold g vi we were all to tired
to joke very much so weate a lunch and hung
up for the night As soon as the sun began to
give light we rolled off our bunks and got break
fast in order to give Charles Lower an early
start for home but lo after breakfast Charley
and John went down town and I guess they got
lost at any rate John ciime in about 10 a m
and said that Charley was sitting down on the
sidewalk asleep the Inst he saw of him Just as
I was going to start to hunt him up I saw Char
ley coming m a half hand gallop up the street
and a puffing like a steam engine I dont know
where he had bpen but lrom his general appear
ance Ie must have started to Valentine afoot
aim happen to think that he would need his
team to plow his corn with when he got home
and turned around and came buck after them
However he came back after them and stayed
until this mo ning June 28 he says he is bad
ly stuck on this town lie may have run on to
a good looking widow down here for all that I
know for the last that 1 saw ot him lie was look
ing back this way Maybe he was watching the
passenger train forit was pulling down the track
at a slow pace a short time after he left but just
the same Charley is a good hand to help to pile
goods in a wagon ncd we have no kick coming
on him we have been very busy and havent
got acquainted yet hut all that we have met are
