Rootbeer than all other rootbeers
combined, there must be something
in Hires, and there is-delicious
flavor and public confidence.
Undoubtedly the reason of the
popularity of Hires Rootbeer is, be-
cause it surpasses all other prepara-
tions for making delightful home
beverage. 1t is very easily prepared,
and if the plain directions are fol-
lowed, it will always be good.
Every member of the family, from
the baby to the grandfather, can
enjoy this excellent summer drink.
Children especially delight in Hires
Rootbeer. Its preparation interests
them, and its use does them good.
In thousands of homes, Hires Root
beer that mother made" will be
among the happiest recollectlons of
childhood.
What others say will carry con-
viction:
A DOCTOR IS SURPRISED WITH THE RESULTS.
"About three months ago |
bought a package of your Root
beer, and after making it accord
ing to directions, l found 1t very
delicious beverage. Not only this,
but l was SO much pleased with it
that l gave it to some OF my
patients, and was much surprised
with the result. l have now used
about II dozen. DR.. NJ. A.
Somers, Plano, H."
SAYS IT'S GOOD FOR DYSPEPSIA.
81 find great relief in drinking
your Rootbeer, as 1 have been
troubled with dyspepsia. and
should feel very sorry if l could
not keep myself supplied with it.
l drink it when it is fermented.
X. F. Scott, 2519 Meredith st.,
Philadelphia"
NEVER FOUND ITS EQUAL.
"I have used your Rootbeer
for seven years, and have found
it a superior article. / have
sampled other rootbeer, but have
never found any to equal Hires. 1
have so much faith in it that l
have persuaded ten different
families to use it. Mrs. r.
Stevenson, 1927 Lincoln Ave,
Chicago"
This is typical weather for root
beer drinking. Drink all the other
beverages and you will die of disap-
if you don't try Hires.
Just sample some once when right
Iy made, and we know the result
you will endorse Hires.
1t is doing more to advance practi-
cal temperance than many people
realize. 1t is used and recommended
oy the most cautious and con-
'ervative temperance people. The
most scrupulous abstsiner can enjoy
It and recommend it to others as an
agreeable and healthful substitute
Tor the strong drink which he op-
poses.
Storekeepers will find Hires the
only Rootbeer extract that has a
coed sale and can be recommended
to their patrons. We give elegant
pictorial advertising matter with
each order. Liberal discount to

THEY BROKE SILENCE.

The wise plan of keeping its own
council, which was announced for
the Royalist Commission to the
press of San Francisco by the eX-
Cabinet maker of Waianae, has not
been adhered to as was promised.
Ii is quite evident to people here,

.ly followed in San Francisco and
the Pacific Coast to avoid direct
contradiction of the statements the
leader of the Commission was
primed with for the Eastern press.
In fact the great eX-royal financler
has not shown so much political
shrewdness and personal thriftiness
since the time OF his last incum-
bency, when he purchased safes at
fancy prices from his son-in-law
without allowing competition on
bids as provided by law.
As soon as the Rocky Mountains
were reached, however, the eX-
CaDinet-maker's unreliable tongue
got beyond his control and at Color

How could YOU, Judge, O how
could YOU be so unkiud--atter you
got out of the reach Of contradic-
ton
Judge, there is a man men
toned in the bible, who met with a
sudden fatal accident for telling
things he could not substautiate
and it gives us pain to inform the
leader of the National Reform
Party, the jobber in safes and the
collector of illegal tolls, that the
misstatement which caused the ac-
cident mentioned was no greater
than the one made at Colorado
Springs on July 18th, that, mot
more than 800 were present when
the proclamation creating the Re
public was read and the natives
will not lolg submit to tyranny
and instruction will doubtless re-
suit soon. 1t is fortunate
the Judge did not blurt
out the program arranged
to be carried out by Royalists i'll
Honolulu, assisted by their friends,
during the absence of the commits
sion at Washington. On second
thought, however, it is perhaps
just as well the Judge did not men
ton Royalist hopes and fears,
mostly fears, as he will learn later
there was an unusually severe at
tack of lack of sand" when aid
was really promised to strike the
blow for restoration, which was to
verify his assertion that "insurrec-
ton will doubtless result soon"
After leaving Colorado Springs
the leader of the Royals Commits
sion ceased frugality of speech and
began scattering political fairy
tales promiscuously. TO one re-
porter one story wou' De told; to
another variations w)ul / be added
and by the time the Cisl alches Of a

news centers the PAL er' were full
of contradictions int la ded with a
good many dashes of Royalist Drag
which suggested tlat Major
Seward had been coay hing the man
who is to sway Cleveland.
OF course people in Hawaii, and
especially Americans, know per-
fectly we'll what the result will be.
The fact that the forecasts made by
Americans and annexationists have
proved right every time since the
revolution in spite of events SEEM
ingly favorable to the royalists, has
been owing to the policy of dealing
directly with the American people
and their representatives i'll all pub
lie matters. On the other hand the
royalists acted from the start as
though they were dealing with a
monarchy, instead Of a Republic,
and in spite OF the fact that they
were allowed to correct the proofs
Of their brief before presentation
they failed by ignoring the people
and Senate of the United States.
Their commission, composed of the
four questionable men sent, is not
likely to succeed in retrieving a

sentatives have already entered a
