THE TENNIS COURTS.
Probability of an international
Tournament.


Notice will soon be given to
tennis players on the other islands
of the tournament to be held in
Nav and it is more than probable
that representatives will be sent
from such places as Hilo and La
haina to compete. From the work
of these players here last year the
Honolulu boys will have to "get up
and dust" if they expect to win.
It is sincerely hoped that the other
islands will be well represented.
Should interest in tennis increase
as it has during the last year there
is no reason why, in short time,
an international tournament be-
tween players on the Pacific Coast
of the United States and Hawaii
nei should not be arranged. The
tournament in May is merely
meant for ''feeler" and should it
prove a success another will be
arranged to take place soon after
These constant contests will bring
tennis in Hawaii to higher mark
than it has ever reached before and
will make an international tourna-
ment possible.

Push 1t Along.

The popularity of the Pabst beer
is due to the fact that it has no
trace of resinous matter that is
usually found in beer. Pabst is
absolutely free from any deleteri-
Gus matter and may be taken with
as much safety and beneficial re-
suits as a medicine prescribed by a
physician.

THE SOCIALIST CONTENT
Most OF Yesterday Spent In Discusiuse .
Ways OF Raising Money.

The delegates to the Convention of the So
cialist Trade and Labor Alliance devoted the
forenoon and the greater part OF the after
noon yesterday to discussing the money ques-
ton. The debate was to whether the per
capita systems of taxing unions should be
adopted or that of levying fixed sum for each
organization. A number OF the delegates
said that the per capita tax meant full treas
ures and that full treasures gave opportuni-
ties TO swindIers and fakirs to get rich. One
delegate. wenrying of the discussion, ex.
claimed:
IF you dalk of tiefs and roprers. you make
dem yourself"
Miss Silberberg of the nfant cloakmakers'
union said that her union for one could not
afford the per capita system. You must let
US live" she said Even the capitalists let
us do that"
The per capita idea carried the day, how
ever. as il was decided that nothing could be
done without money.
Comrade August Waldinger suggested that
the Socialist physicians should be Obliged to
Join the Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance.
They are too high toned" he said. They
earn their living like us and ought TO join u.s."
