UNWORTHY OF coss.oeaArloN.

The suggestion that Honoialu and
the Island Of Oahu should be organ
lied into one municipality Is to- pre-

the republican charter commits sion
fThe Island Of Oahu contains 500
square miles and portions Of il are
very sparxeiy settled SO that a NUM-
cipal government covering all the
island would be ridiculous. The citing
OF the city and county government. Of
New York as being co-existeut has
no bearing upon the case In New
York as elsewhere throughout the
United States. county government
prevails and when New York City
and County occupied the same area
the two governments we're separate
and distinct The only city in the
United States that is known as the
city and county with one government
over both is San Francisco. That
however includes no territory except
ing what naturally belongs to the city.
Even within the memory of the
writer the City Of New York did not
embrace all the territory of the coun-

were extended and twice within the
last ten years have port of West

about one-half the Territory Of the
Island of Oahu. Chicago with all her
prairie additions covers but 212 square
miles To attempt to make the city
government of Honolulu cover the
entire island would be ridiculous.
The Island of Oahu is about the size
of the average county in the central
and middle west states of the Union
In the creation of counties this island
should be created into the county Of
Oahu and Honolulu could be the coun-
ty seat. That is in accord with Amer
lean precedent Chicago is in Cook
County. Illinois. and the county seat
thereof Cincinnati is in Hamilton
County and the county seat thereof.

nal Revenue, is the son of a college
president and is young man of high
character and splendid reputation in
college and professional circles in his
state. His father was for a number
of years the successful executive of
the Iowa Agricultural College. at
Ames. In cooperation with such talent
as James Wilson. the present Secre-
tary of Agriculture. who vas a men,
Der of the faculty. the scaool took
place at the head of institutions Of
its kind. When Wilson went to Wash
ington as a member of McKinley's
cabinet, he took with him the purpose
TO do everything he could for Iowa
boys. While he has been engrossed
with his many arduous duties as Sec
rotary of Agriculture, he has ever
found time to advance the interests OF
his young friends from the Hawkeye
state. He had been looking for a nice
place for Roy Chamberlain. son of his
old friend and co-worker among the
farmers. Wilson heard of Haywood's
resignation and immediately urged
the appointment of his young friend.
And that is why the petitions and
endorsements Of Honolulu politicians

to extend the macadam a couple of

not satisfy the farmers, so they have
subscribed over $4,000 now and the
amount is still growing. They sub

They propose that the macadam be

which is the terminus of the new rural
mail delivery route. They further pro-
pose to extend the syste,n of good
roads by running north and south
from the terminus so that others
can be accommodated. Farmers still
farther away are offering to help and
it is likely that within two years
the macadam will be extended to
the towns in the western portion of
the county, a distance of 80 miles.
The board is thus encouraged to con-
centrate improvements and have a
system of good roads, instead of scat
tering improvements, as has hereto
fore been the plan.-Prairie Farmer.

Why. to tarry by some streamlet was a
glory for the sight,
AS We watched the shoaling suckers flash
like bars Of splintered light;
There was peace within the singing OF the
farm hands in the vale;
There was cadence in the beating OF the
red-head's tiny fail;
Out among the clover blossoms or the
grapevine's fragrant glooms
Bee-hums sounded like hymn that lin

And we had our childish fancies, saw our
castles rise complete.
When the doves began their cooling and

Would that we could call back one short
day of all those days,
For a stroll about the meadows and the
old familiar ways;
And while drinking in the beauty where
the wild rose cheers the dawns
With the frangrance spilled from censers
swinging ON celestial lawns,
See an old form at the homestead, as her
singing meets our ear
In a voice whose music somehow Is the
