An Instructive Comparison.

It is sometimes asserted that cattle
and sheep require the same amount OF
feed per thousand pounds of live
weight. This statement seems not
to be we'll founded. In some expert
ments at the Iowa station the cattle
consumed 1916 pounds of dry matter
per thousand pounds of live weight.
against an average of 29.07 by the
sheep. Both sheep and cattle were on
full feed. The sheep made daily gain
of 3.73 pounds per thousand pounds of
live weight, and the cat lie 2.14. In sum
ming up this comparison we find that
while the sheep ate As per cent. more
than the cattle they also gained nearly
IS per cent more.-Prof c. F. Curtiss,
in Rural World.

band with three legs attached. It IS
desirable to place the band as near
the base of the kettle as possible, so
as to obviatc the necessity of long
legs. The band may be put on hot
and shrunk to the kettle. Of course
it will then remain with it. In some
cases it is desirable to have the band
free so that the kettle can be taken
off.-A. T. Giauque, in Orange Judd

GAME HERE TO STAY.

when we left our mother country
for these islands, not one among us
intended to make them our perma-
nent home; with the exception of
some young men who came here to
avoid service in our army. But al
though hundreds of us had sufficient
money with which to return home, at
the expiration of our contracts. still,
we did not do so; thus tacitly admit
ting that we had profited by the
change. Under all these circum-
stances you should not hesitate about
becoming naturalized Amrican citi.
zens because in doing so you cannot
be considered false to your own coun-
try; you will be simply protecting
your right; which otherwise you could
not do. We must also remember that
although our nationality is absorbed
when we become American citizens,
yet, we can always reserve warm
spot in our hearts for our own coun.
try; which will not be grudged by
Uncle Sam.

THE LOVE OF COUNTRY.

You all understand that you must
become naturalized American citizens
to obtain the privilege of the fran
chise, but some of you may be back
ward about doing so on account of the
memories, reverence and love you
have for your mother country. Gen
tlemen, | do not blame you for en-,
tertaining these sentiments fsf the
land where you first saw the. light
of day; because !, too, have the same
feelings and therefore | respect you
for it, You have reasons for being
proud ct your mother country because
few countries can boast of having
such a glorious history. But we must
not forget that we have adopted this
country as our own by force of cir
cumstances and must admit that we
have bettered our condition in Ha-

"REMINISCENCES OF THE PAST.

Gentlemen, can you say from your
hearts that the Portuguese colony
does not need an organization like the
Portuguese Political Club? | say you
cannot, because if you said so you
would not be true to yourselves and
to your dependents. You may ask
what do | get by joining the club?'
| say, away with the thought of per-
sonal gain or the thought of self. We
must band ourselves together for the
good of all; you may not feel the re-
suit individually but nevertheless it
will be apparent in the increased re.
spect and standing we will command,
politically and otherwise. Think you,
that it was the thought of personal
gain that inspired the breasts of those
heroes of 1910, when they took up
arms against the Spaniards to assist
their independence? No. there was
no thought of the Almighty Dollar in
that struggle; their battle cry was
Liberty or death Those heroes made
tremendous sacrifices to obtain their
object; but no such sacrifices are de.
manded of you. You are only asked
to give your support to this move.

A DUTY 10 FAMILY.

Frank Andrade spoke in English.
He defined politics and government
and the relations of both to the voter.
The Portuguese colony was progress
i've and it needed representation in
the legislature. The Portuguese Club
was not for a few, 1t was for all Por-
tuguese residents. They should have
q voice there 10 say how the taKes
paid by them should be used. 1t was
necessary to have leaders, or they
would fail of their object, 1t was a
duty which every Portuguese owed to
his family to assist the club.

not proved to be desirable in every
respect to the prosperous develop
ment of these islands? Have we not
always been found ready to give our
support to the different governments
of these islands during the troub,ous
times of instruction and revolution?
Yes, gentlemen, we have proved by
our industriousness, by our love OF
home, by eur domestic virtues, by our
obedience to the laws of these islands
and by our readiness to lay down our
lives, If necessary, that we are worthy
of consideration. And | tell you gen.
tlemen, that as we have provea our
worthiness, so shall we be heard in
the future in the shaping of the pc.
'itical destinies of this Territory. G n
tlemen, this Is no pipe dream / am
indulging in, it is plain unvarnished

vided; it is therefore eur duty to en-
roll ourselves as members of the Por-

united so strongly, so closely, so in
seperably as to command the respect
and admiration of the people of this
Territory and bring to realization
our political aspirations,

CLUB NON PARTISAN.

THE Portuguese Political Club is a
non-partisan organization. This has
been criticized by our partisan
friends, who argue that the club
should be either Republican or Demo
crat in order to have standing with
either of the two parties. But l con-
tend that our success lies in a non
partisan organization, because when
the time arrives for the club to de-
clare which party it will support, We
will be in a position by our united
strength to demand the recognition
of certain rights; which demand
dare say, will be listened to,
THE object of the club ia to in
duce and obtain the naturalization of
all the young men of our colony who
possess the necessary qualifications
for American citizenship, so that they
may take part in the politics of this
Territory and promote our political
interests by obtaining representation
in the Territorial Legislature, thereby
having voice in the legislative de-
alterations through our representa-
tives. Gentlemen, these are worthy
objects, and ! ask you to give them
your serious consideration,

Rev. j. F. Durao and M. A, Gonsalves
to the platform.
OF Mr.. Silva's address we shall not
say anything to-day, only promising
our readers to publish it in full to-
morrow. 1t was an able effort and well
worth reading.
Rev. j. f. Durao, who spoke also in
Portuguese, made great speech, in
which he appealed to the patriotism
of the auditors to co -operate with the
club in it's campaign to secure repre-
sentation in the Legislature by the
election of one of their number. By
uniting in one solid body the club and
the colony could make itself respected

Over three hundred Portuguese vot-
ers enthusiastically cheered the ad-
dresses made by their leaders last
evening at San Antonio Hall, at the
mass meeting held under the auspices
of the Portuguese Political Club. A
grim determination to attain the pur-
pose of the club-secure representa-
ton for the colony in the Legislature
could be read on all of the three
hundred faces. and that determine
ton cannot be ignored by any party.
WAS GRAND MEETING.
1t was a grand meeting. 1t is well
known that the Portuguese are home
loving people and that nothing can
induce them to leave their homes and
families after their hard days work
Is over. They sit on the verandahs
of their cosy cottages, surrounded by
their families, smoke their pipes while
enjoying the beautiful view of the
harbor and city, which can be had
only from the slopes of Punchbowl,
and then retire for the night.
Something out of the ordinary must
have happened, then, in order to Sc
cure such a large attendance at last
evenings melting. The Portuguese
Political Club is responsible for it.
Some determined and progressive
young men have put their heads to-
gether and for several weeks have
been making a quiet campaign of edu-
cation. The result was shown last
night. Previous to the meeting the
Catholic Mission Band lead torch
light procession all over Punchbowl,
and no doubt, brought in a large
number of voters.

ARBITRATION METHODS

1t is reported from the City of Mexico
that the Pan-American congress has con-
Guided to remove the difficulty about ar
bitratiom by having each form of arbitra-
ton signed only by the delegations who
adopt them. The agreement to subscribe
to The Hague convention will be signed
by those favoring il and the states agree
ing to compulsory arbitration, chiefly
South American, will subscribe to that.
One of the curious acts Of these states
was the advancement Of the compulsory
arbitration scheme. The Spanish Amer
lean republics are the last states in the
world to be thought of as agreeing to
compulsory arbitration, which has no
vogue except in New Zealand and there
it is an experiment It would be inter-
esting to know which Spanish American
compulsory arbitration, would stand by it's
signature.
Arbitration in New Zealand is develop
ing into hard tyranny. It can never be
cited in justification Of compulsory arbi-
tration for nations, or for labor-c capital
disputes. In New Zealand the law COM
pels every man who wants a job and to
be protected in the process of earning his
daily bread, to belong to union, and
the unions are all incorporated and make
their contracts as corporations. Freedom
of individual contract is not permitted.
Differences are only referable to the
courts whose decisions arc final and their
violation is punishable under the Grim
inal law. The decisions Of the courts
there are said to be uniformly favorable
to the unions, the courts being benched by
partizans Of the unions.
! The plan of Incorporating labor unions
and referring their differences with en-
ploying corporations to the courts, is not
! Objectionable. 1t is the one-sidedness of
the New Zealand arrangement which is
open to criticism. A firm in Brooklyn has
! adopted plan which, thus far, has been
very successful. An arbitration agree
ment is made with forfeiture clause and
! deposit of money by employers and EN-
ployes large enough to make a breach Of
contract a very serious matter. If either
side breaks the agreement, the joint fund
goes to the other. Every employee in the
shop has a money stake in keeping the
| shop running. Every question of price or
hours of labor, ETC., is put out to arbitra-
ton before a court of five, two from each
side and one from the state board OF ar
bitration. This is rational arbitration.
1t is entered into voluntarily. The en-
