THE DRINK. EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

A Foe to F~lght-The Causes which Have
Produced an Era of Alcoholism-Alco-
ho1 q Moral, Physical, Intellectual and
Social P~oison-Ths Century's Curse.
We will fight the liquor traffic;
Yes, we'll fight it to the death,
We will lift our voice against it,
just as long as we have breath.
We will not defend the rummies,
Nor for them apologize,
But expose their wretehed business,
Till In misery 1t dies.
Would you tolerate d lion
Or a tiger in your street,
Which would trample or devour
Any child 1t CHANGED to meet?
Would you send your youth and children
Out upon that street to roam,
Inc you calmly sit Indifferent
In the shelter Of your home?
No, you would go out with weapons,
Every man in town would go
And With clubs and stones and bullets,
Give the beast o powerful blow;
There would be a great excitement,
You would boldly hunt him down,
And most certainly would kill him,
Or would drive him from the town.
Friend, do you esteem q lion
Or a tiger greater harm
Than saloons along Your sidewalks7
Does it cause you more alarm
See those run shops unmolested,
Countless victims they destroy,
And they're waiting, surely longing
To ensnare your girl or boy.

FILIPINOS GOING HOME.
Musicians from Manila Aboard
the Transport Warren.

The Filipino players and musicians,
who formed one of the principal feat
ures of the Mechanics Fair in San
Francisco a few months ago, are most
ly returning to their native heath and
jungle on the transport Warren. For
some time since the Fair closed they
have had a %precarious living, quarrels
with managers have been numerous
and at times they were forced to do
their turns on empty stomachs.
When they first appeared San Fran
cisco went wild Over them, but as
time passed on public interest waned
and now they are only too glad to be
the wards of the United States Gov
eminent until they can step once more
on their home soil. They were might
lily impressed with the greatness OF the
home of the American soldier as re-
presented by San Francisco but they
were not a bit sorry to leave it all be-
hind, as long as there was a possibility
of getting back once more to the fever
er heat of Manila and lazily end their
days in the cool of a nipa hut.

new HILO BANK
First American to Open a
Branch House.
Has Secured Quarters at the Masonic
TempIe-Major Purdy TO be in
Charge.

1t has been definitely decided by the
of Hawaii of this city to establish a
branch banking house in Hilo. Quar-
tiers for the bank have been secured in
the corner Office of the Masonic Build
ing there and Major Purdy the present
teller of the local bank will be placed
in charge. A lease of the Hilo bank
quarters has been secured for a year
only, as it is probable that the bank
will build its own quarters by that
time, on the Wakefield lot across the
street. The project of establishing a
branch banking house in Hilo has been
under consideration by the Directors
for some time, and is now a certainty.
Mr.. Peck is understood to have in
timated that he intended to establish
a banking business there, but having
been at the Coast for some time andthe
First American Bank having decided so
hurriedly to branch out there, Mr.. Peck
may abandon his intention. The fellow
ing letter from Cecil Brown, president
of the First American Bnk to Mr..
Wakefield is proof of the early estab-
lishment of the branch house:
1T has been decided by the Board OF
| Directors of the Bank to open a branch
| office in Hilo at once, and in conse-
! quence it is my intention to go up to
Hilo on the next trip Of the Kinau with
| Major Purdy, who has been paying aho
| receiving teller with us here, and open
placing him in charge, provided we car
find an office in which to commence
business at that time"
Mr.. Brown goes to Hilo tomorrow
Major Purdy accompanying him, TO e
over the preliminary work incident tt
the opening of the branch.

''They go tumbling over distractions
and threading their way through lum-
Der yards and are lev certain that
some one with a sack of opium is not
sneaking by them. The front ought
to be kept as light as occasional arc
lamps will make it. The apparatus
and supply may be easily had of the
electric light company.
Another reason for this improve
ment is thai unloading will be facili-
tated. The harbor is o congested
with shipping and more vessels are all
the time coming in. A four-master
arrived yesterday. | am told that I'M
loading would be done at night if there
were any lights to see by. This phase
of the matter is important enough but
I particularly want to dwell on the dis
advantage in which the absence of arc
lamps involves the Customs service in
it's watch for smugglers."

Scrub Cattle No Good.

to the farmers of this county, and
they will do we'll to observe the same
IL they desire to obtain the highest
market price for their beef.
"A. McClatchery arrived Friday
from the Buffalo markets where he
had been for several days trying to
dispose of a couple of carloads of
stock. He reports no market at all
for the class of stock he had and con-
sidered himself lucky to get away
with only $50 or $40 loss on the lot.
Others lost much more. One Alpena
dealer. he says lost 1925 on one load.
Mr.. McClatchery saved himself In
part by buying cattle there and re.
selling the same. He bought cattle
at 81 cents that were of q better
class than was ever raised In Altoona
county. There were IS loads OF
stock unsold In Buffalo. This weeks
report is still worse. Farmers must
a 1aken to the fact that the day for
scrubs is past.

We are indebted to Mrs. w. j.
Terney for wonderful phenomenon
presented to US during the week, it
being boquet Of trailing Arbutus
or May flowers, the buds Of which
are almost ready to burst into bloom.
This is all the more remarkable when
we take into consideration the fact
that this flower blooms only in the
spring. The Development of this
plant at this reason demonstrates the
kind Of weather we have been enjoy.
ing. While it is pleasant to con
template, there arises the fear that
perhaps fruit trees have been forced
ahead and that the severe weather
which must necessarily follow. will
injure the buds. --Roscommon News.

"who httei out hospital ship had
done deed that would live for all
tiIne as blessing to common hu-
mainly" We read, on the contrary,
that some Of the A merican ladies
wish they had never entered into the
hospital ship project. Forgetting
for the moment that the ship cannot
climb the lights into the South
African republic the ladies were in
duced TO subscribe on the under
stlndins that the hospital ship was
for the wounded of both armies, Boer
and English. Now that the ladies
realize, that the ship can be OF use
only to the latter, they feel that the
gift takes on too onesided an aspect.
