Smokers Among Rulers of Men.

 With King Humbert disappears one of the last great smokers, among heads of states. Now there remain only, as passionate smokers, Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria and Dom Paul. The new king of Italy does not smoke, the czar occasionally smokes a cigarette; the kings of Greece, of Roumania. of Sweden, of Denmark, the prince of Bulgaria and Emperor William smoke now cigar, now a cigarette, but very irregu- larly. They are what may be termed Sunday smokers."-Le Cri de Paris.

This will be an Interesting week for the High School football eleven. It will mark the triumph or defeat of the Waterbury eleven, it will decide whether they will have an oppor- tunity of holding the cup for another year, it will determine whether Wa terbury or Hillhouse has the better team, for on Saturday at the Athletic field the Hillhouse High school, was the winner of the New Britain Meri- den game in the final game for the championship at Yale field the follow ing Saturday. It will decide whether the beautiful silver trophy, the em- blem of~victory, will continue to grace the pedestal in Principal Wilby's office. Manager Murray and Captain Byrnes anticipate a hard gruelling contest, and consequently they pro- pose to put the team through the hard est of practice during the coming week. They recognize the fact that the team work as well as the individ- ual work of the eleven can be greatly improved upon and consequently no pains will be spared to have the eleven in%first class condition when they face Hillhouse. Accordingly Coach Beck with will be assisted this week by the | following: Harold Durant. who was | instrumental in turning out the excel leul eleNeu Ol lsiSl ScdSOl, bi -IOuu- | gan, who assisted Attorney Durant l last season; Bill Hotchkiss, Henry Eaters and Joseph Kennedy. A | great Improvement in the work of the eleven has been noticed since Coach Beckwith took charge of the men. A | still greater improvement will be seen in Saturdays game after the work of l this week.
 | Tomorrow the local team will jour- ney to Naugatuck to battle with a | strong proposition in the shape of the | Naugatuck High school team. This l game will afford the local management | an excellent opportunity of compar- l ing the strength of his eleven with l Hillhouse. Naugatuck played a tie | game with Hillhouse and defeated

Dear Isles of West,

Very pretty indeed is the sentiment

Dear tropic land of song and lei,
Farewell to thee" the Old Year sings
a greeting glad the New Year brings.
And message fraught with kindly

For parents. friends and children dear.

And taro, rice, and sugar cane.

Away with care. Let sorrow cease

All through the little book will BE-
found thoughts, fancies and pleasant
conceits for Christmas and the New
Year. One sentiment is worth treasur-
ing: From rough outsides serene and
gentle influences often proceed"
1t is the kind of book that should be
added to every young girls library, and
one which would be highly priced by
the recipient. 1t adds another leaf t,

OUR LAND POLICY.

The land policy which ought TO be
pursued in these Islands was correctly
described by Governor Dole IN his in
augural address, as follows:
The land policy of the Republic of
Hawaii, whereby public lands are open
ed for settlement in small holdings,
should be continued by the Territory
with such changes as experience has
shown to be necessary and carried on
with vigor and earnestness in the hope
that many Americans may DC led to
transfer their homes from the Main
land to Hawaii.
There are several changes which ex-
perience has shown to be at least adj
visable One is the abandonment of
the long lease system by which land
suitable for small homesteads is kept
in the hands of large estates. We know
of several thousand acres on the Island
OF Oahu, the lease of which will expire
in few months, that have been held
by-one estate for fifty years at a rental
of THREE CENTS an acre and used
for grazing and dairying purposes. The
land would sustain about FIVE hundred
white families on the wahiawa plan:
yet II the public does not watch out the
estate now controlling the vast tract
may get II again for another half CEN
tury. Better use can be made of this
r land and the rest of the 90. 900 public
acres on Oahu by peopling it with in
dustrious Americans and thus prepar-
ing the way for that Statehood which
will never come until this Territory In

The eagerness of the plumbers to re-
move Inspector Moore and put in an
other Duffy appears in published let
ter of a master plumber and in the
general sentiment of the lead pipe
brotherhood. Anyone who has followed
Moore's course will see at a glance that
his fidelity to the public interests Is
what has made him persona non grata
to the members OF the bursted trust He
is too strict to suit the men who do in
ferior work at a superior price or who
want 10 be let alone in their tricks or
trade. While the writer of the publish
ed letter may have. for all we know. a
right to complain of some hasty ruling,
his contention that Moore should be put
out merely represents the desire of the
plumbers to get an Inspector who will
stand in with them. Setting plumber
to watch a plumber may have some
Evolutionary merit but the idea was
coined before trades unionism came in
with it's binding pledge upon craftsmen
to support each other against the field.
Under such circumstances il is the
duty Of the Health Board. no matter
what the protests of the plumbers may
be, to give Inspector Moore. so long as
he maintains his present policy. a unit
ed and cordial support
