Tms is getting lillle too mueh! We fullv apprtoiate tl>e feelings »f brother Hoogs. He went l<> ihe 1 fro:it and farnished his p:;j><-rs vvith lotsof news —received seo >;' l-h:md-ed —but when the A<Jvtrt ; s<-r e >m<-s out with big heidiiues and says The Nnlion'e Dead, in describing thefuneralof the three unf >rtunate nien who lost their lives at Kalalau we d<> kiek. We sy.upathize for the relics and we grieve with thera over the men who wanton!y have heen killed because they were paid to oarry out the policy of W. O. Sraith, but we do not see why the Advertiser or Mr. Dole or Mr. Smith should sl<>bber more over their bodies tl>an did the “natiou” over the body of Simeona or atiy other brave an<l dutiful polieeman who l<>st his life in trying to arrest lepers. Mr. Sanf«>rd B. Dole to our know!edge at one time was a man—every ineh a man— he now turns out t > l> a a sl>>bberiug fool, for whom. try as hard as we will, we ean have no respect. The writer of this has seen soldiers killed. He has seen a war more cruel.tnore dangerous and niore horrid than any war possible —the war helween countrymen —the war in whieh brother stands against brother, and father against son, but he has never seen the outngeous hypocrisy, the triple extracted idiocy. whieh makes the death of three men who died m the perforraance of a duty for whieh they were paid, an oecasion to make polilieal eapilal, an oeeaaiou in whieh that famoua goat-hunter W. 0. Smith gets hia ehanee to eome out as fu!l fledged raourner, and shaking the hands of Sanford B. Dole cry over the Kalion’e Dead, and onee more emphatbize the fact that he and his crowd are An impossibility in the history of Hawaii.
