Oak Grove Farmers Club.


Wednesday, October nth, the Oak Grove
Farmers Club met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Reynolds, where they were given a
cordial reception by host and hostess. The
day was ore of the many glorious ones
with which we have been blessed, during
this month of months, and when President
A. Wrigley called the meeting to order
every member present seemed to be in a
happy mood and ready to help make the
meeting pleasant and profitable one.
The usual opening exercises were follow
ed by recitation bv Mrs. Gilbert Parsons,
'Winning Cups Race" No words of ours
could do the speaker justice, she carried
the audience with her from start to finish,
and when at last swimming Cups" won the
race by the length of his neck, we could
almost hear the exultant shouts Of the
throng who we're watching.
Bean culture, baked beans and bean soup,
how best to prepare the same, claimed the
attention of the meeting for short time,
and the ladies were not the only ones who
thot they knew how to cook the article In
question.
The next topic taken up for discussion
was, ITO what extent does the hand that
rocks the cradle rule the world"
Mrs. j. Parsons led with few i'm
prOmptu but pertinent remarks.
Dinner was then announced and the
meeting adjourned for an hour, and that
hour was not the least enjoyable of all the
hours spent at the club.
Men talk of "The feast of reason and
flow of SOUL" but our opinion is that The
feast of reason" is wonderfully accelerated
by delicious dinner such as our hostess
served her guests.
The hour past, the meeting called to
order with singing by the club, then the
unfinished discussion resumed. The ques-
ton proved very interesting and drew out
many bright thots, even tho they were
sometimes a little off the subject. One
lady claimed that "a fathers and mothers
influence must lead toward the same object,
that it is just as important to have good
father as good mother, for a. mother can
scarcely train son to grow into grand
manhood IL the fathers example leads the
other way" She was reminded that "the
father was not In this discussion"
Mr.. Dexter Morris recalled the history
which shows that the unflinching yalOr and
indomitable heroism of the Spartans was
due to the noble and unseltish prtriotism of
their mothers.
Mr.. j. f. Bilbimer said the hand that
rocks the cradle, rules the world to far
greater extent than we realize.
Mrs. +. Strauch gave a humorous read
ing which was enjoyed by all present.
Question box. Is the present system of
doing the county business through the
supervisors the best way? Some said yes,
others thot the business might be done
through county commissioners, and be done
cheaper.
Miss Halle Morris and Miss Edna Par
sons favored the club with choice selections
OF instrumental music.
The club adjourned to meet with Mrs.
Wicking on the third Thursday in Nov.

There has been a great deal Of hum
bug talked about the suppression of or
dinary commercial trusts, the nature
Of which may be seen In this para
graph:
There are four dry goods stores in Po-
dunk. What can prevent me from buying
out these stores and making a bargain
with the owners preventing them from
engaging In the same business for a term
of years or forever. Or could laws be
passed. that would be valid, preventing
me from doing this and could not do as
l p.eased with these stores, closing up
three Of them and selling my goods %
per cent less than cost or 200 per cent
above cost. 1 think that the above covers
the entire ground of the so-called Trust
question.
The Supreme Court holds that the or
ganizer of such trust is acting within
his rights. To deny them to him would
be to make America a fettered instead
OF free country. So far the only
trusts that can be prosecuted in the
hope of a legal remedy are those which,
like the plumbing trust OF Honolulu.

Ire exercise Of the functions of u,u-
nicipal government implies a previous
training such as is unknown except to
comparatively small proportion of
the people Of Hawaii. In the United
States the municipal or local govern
ment system Is largely a growth and
development OF early Saxon and Anglo
Saxon customs. The American county.
city. town, parish and school district
institutions are often considered as the
basis and safeguard OF American Mber-
ty. But as stated by Judge Dillon in
his work on Municipal Corporations
"the picture Is not without its shadows
There are evils either inherent in our
municipal corporations. or which so
generally attend their administration
which have greatly detracted from their
value" 1t Is also true that such insti-
tutiors have always been established
among homogeneous people. growing
with their needs and modified by their
experience. To engraft such institu-
TORS uron people who are unfamiliar
with their workings. unused to the re-
sponsbilities involved in their success

strained by law. would be an expert

The Bulletin announces that II. NJ.
Sewali has Invested 100000 in the Sc

out that the money came from Arthur

M. sewall had that sum with which to
take flyers in the market his alleged
contribution of $3.50 to the RepubIica n
campaign fund here dwindles to a mi
croscopic speck. 1t Is on record that
he gave more than that to defeat his
own father for Vice President when the
yourg man was trying to make political
capital for himself. The Bulletin, which
Is Understood to be paying Mr.. Sewall
for substantial favors rendered. also
says that the money collected by him

THE PUNISHMENT sgOE pEKING.

The Rev. Arthur H. Smith, for many
years a missionary in China, Is one Of
the closest observers and the keenest
analyzers Of any of the many able men
who have written concerning China
and the Chinese. He has a mastery
command of clear cut and decisive
English and has written two books en-
titled "Chinese characteristics" and
"Village Life In China" which are ac-
knowledged to be of the highest au-
thority, and to present the fullest and
most accurate analysis of inner Chi
nese life yet published.
Mr.. Smith has visited in Honolulu
and Is well-known here. He was in the
city Of Peking during the siege and is
still on the ground. He is writing a
series of articles upon the disturbances
In China and the causes thereof. which
are being published in the "Outlook. +"

The municipal movement has these
objects:
To take from the Territorial govern
ment as much power and patronage as
possible.
To use such power and patronage for
the building up of a political machine
that will support large corps of tax
eaters and, by heavy drafts upon the
taxpayers perpetuate itself.
To run Honolulu into debt for public
improvements which are not needed
and which would not be honestly car
ried out.
AS the Republican party of Hawaii
is not committed by it's platform to an
immediate erection of municipal gov
ernments in these Islands 1t should re-
frafn from any act which would COM
promise its good name or further the
