MAKING SUBMISSION. If Il village or
district has committed Il ust cause of OF
fence against another, and the offenders
are willing to make submission, or beg
pardon, they are expected to go loaded
with stones, green bows and fire wood,
and to bow down very abiectly in the
presence of the offended chief. As the
articles thus carried are used in making
their native ovens, probably they signify
that the parties are deserving to become
the servants - oycn-makcrs of the
chief. Unless. indeed, the meaning be,

Mr. EDIToR:-I am to show in the second
place that the amount expended for alcoholic
drinks as a beverage is a loss to the COM
munity. If my first position be true this
follows of course provided the same amount
could be more bencficially expended
Alcohol begets an appetite in him who
uses it which will render all his powers sub
servient to its qualification.
The Incorporate man will take from his
suffering wife and children TIE bread neces-
sary to sustain life, will dispossess himself
and them of every comfort rather than give
up the intoxicating draught
Could the sums thus expended to degrade
the man be turned to better account Let
us see. There is principle in every man
which seeks the accumulation of comforts
around him. The drunkard is not an ex-
ception but in him the love for intoxicating
drink has got the ascendency of every thing
else and must be INDUCED if by any POSSIBLE
ty the means can be procured, but take from
him this appetite or the power of it's indul-
gence and he becomes Il sober man. One
prime cause of disease is removed and he is
not untitled for business. That which he
before expended to allay his Unsuitable thirst
for the brutalizing cup is now honorably
paid for the support of his family and the
accumulation around him of necessaries and
comforts of permanent value.
His increased ability to buy increases the
demand in the market for such articles as
he wishes to purchase and of course the de-
mand for that labor which is necessary to
produce them. A channel is thus opened
for that labor which Las been hitherto APP
piled to the production Of spirits and the
merchant exchanges the traffic in and pro-
fits on intoxicating drinks for the traffic and
profits of better articles for which demand
has been created equal to the whole amount
once expended in the former, added to the
value of the time lost, and loss from neglect
OF business in consequence of that eXpcndi-
ture. The producer of spirits is no loser the
merchant is no loser, they only exchange
the profits on one thing for the profits on
others, and the buyer instead of purchasing
that which does him no good but injury, and
IS an actual loss, purchases necessaries for
the support of his family and other things
of permanent value, thus increasing his own
wealth and that of the nation Of which he
is a constituent part. If this be true, then
what is expended for intoxicating drinks as
beverage is a total loss. This is partially
illustrated on general scale by the follow
ing remarks Of Mr.. Delavan.
'On my route from Venice to this city, have been
much impressed with one fact, which strongly cor
roborated the remark made to me by the Duke of
Orleans, relative TO the poverty of the people in wine

THE POLYNESIAN.
SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1910.
TO TIE PUBLIC.


AT the request, and by the aid of few
public spirited individuals of this place, We
undertook the cditorship of the PolyncsiaD
trusting that it might meet their wishes and
become useful journal The principles
upon which it was started, were fully ex.
planned in the first number, and it is need. |
less to repeat them here. 1t has been our
aim, strictly to conform to them, and by Sc.
curing the assistance of able contribu. |
tors, on all subjects which affect the inter.
ests, or will add to the knowledge of the |
community, to secure for it a deserved cir +
cuation and influence. We entered upon
our duties, which all will acknowledge are
trying, amid so Heterogeneous a population.
with its many conflicting opinions and inter.
csts, entirely inexperienced, but trusting that |
time, and the cordial cooperation of its pa.
irons, would enable us satisfactorily to fulfil |
them. How much influence the former may
have had, can only be judged by our friends
but to the latter our unqualified thanks are
due, for the many valuable communicates
with which we have been favored, and the
zeal which they have manifested in the sue.
cess of the journal. While we have thrown
open our columns to all parties, we have
equally cndeavored to maintain an ndepend.
ent position, and candidly and learlessy to
discharge our responsibilities.
The paper has now been issued upwards
of four months, and its pages afford the best
development of its design and character
Hitherto subscriptions have been received
only for six months, it being the design to
discontinue it, should it not receive suff
cient patronage. That time is now drawing
to a close, and it is now necessary to know
whether we shall be supported in making ar.
engagements for its continuance. Editors
cannot long subsist on gratuitous labor, any
more than any other class of the community
Such has been the case with us thus far the
subscription list being far from sufficient to
cover the printers bill. If such a paper is
needed here, we have not doubt but that It
will eventually meet with ample support but
if otherwise, if its tone and views are at va
rience with those for whom it is intended,
let it at once perish, rather than drag out
feeble existence, and finally be 'damned with
faint praise"
Subscription lists for the year, will be is.
sued with this number, and those who
wish either to continue or discontinue
their subscriptions are requested to give US
seasonable notice, also those who intend to
become subscribers.

NEW SPECIES OF TOMATO.

IRISH HUMOR.

Munster man. paving rather lcisureIy the
highway in Cheapsde, and, quite uncons-
cious Of the English dignity of "A shopkeepcr,
blocking up tradesman's door with heap
of stones. ''Take those stones away" quoth
the tradcsman, in fuster. els it the

least twirI of his mobile mouth, the whole
finished by the never-neglected shoulder

you have at once picture of'veritabe Irish

We will only give one more anecdote to
illustrate the rcady-witcdness of Paddy,
whose humor did not forsake him even in the
presence of his priest, or beneath the shadow
of the confessional
Darby Kelly went to confession, and hav-
ING detailed his several sins of omission and
commission, to which various small penalties
were attached, at last came, with groan, to
the awful fact tina the had stolen his neighbor
Kitty Mahony's pig; crime so hcnous in
the SIGHT of Father Tobin that his reverence
could by no manner of means give him abso-
luton for the same Darby begged, and
prayed, and promised, but to no effect; no
pcnance could make atoncment - no repen-
lance could produce effect; nothing, in short,
but restitution; that is to say, to give back
her own to Kitty Mahony. But difficulty
arose, inasmuch as Darby and Darby's chill
dren had eaten up the pig. Upon which the
priest waxed wroth, and threatened the rogue
with evil here and terrible destiny here
