Homestead Right
Given to Mr..
Confer.
Importance to Small
Farming Cause
Realized.
John Hind Refused a Rowing Com.
mission to Kill Wild Cattle
on Forest Reserves.

Mr.. Confer OF the Federal Experiment
Station, is to be given a public land
concession for the proposed expert
ments in tobacco culture. At the ex-
ecutive council meeting it was decided
tssallot him somewhat more than log
a<fes of land in Kona under the home
stead provisions of the Land Act. The
right of entry to Mr.. Confer is to be
given under very favorable conditions,
as the Government realizes that the
success Of the tobacco industry in that
locality would mean great deal for
the cause of small farming.
The council approved the application
of Quoy Yick In for lease of 2 ga
acres, classed as rice and taro land,
in Pauoa valley, the term to be five
years and the rental 1920 per annum.
Commissioner E. S. Boyd submitted
an application from John Hind for per-
mission to kill off the wild cattle in
the forest reserves of Puuauahulu, Hsl-
wall The request was made as in the
applicants own interest, with incident
al benefit to the public forests.
The council feared that the granting
of the permission might open foodgates
of trouble, as other ranch owners would
be liable to ask for a similar privilege
of entrance upon the public domain.
It was decided to refer the matter to
the Board of Agriculture and Forestry.
That body has already under considera-
ton the matter of exterminating wild
sheep in the mountains of the big ISL

Yet one Of the first items of advices
the poor old man is fated to receive of
his affairs is that an execution has
been levied on the remnant of lis
property here to pay a judgment al
lowed to go by default against him
while several lawyers claiming to be
his attorneys were playing judicial
craps over his sanity, with big fees
out of his fortune as stakes.
Castle & Wilmington, attorneys foc

Alfred Magoon, attorney for defendant,
in the suit of Y Ahin VS.. John K.
Sumner, of motion for execution. The
Judgment of which payment is thus to
be enforced is or somewhere between
ten and twelve hundred dollars.

SOME of my contemporaries seem
to think that my objection to the
Folk boom because of the Globe
Democrats part in it is not well
taken. Well, brethren, let us'rea-
Sol a little. Can you point out to
me any Democrat whom we have
delighted to honor who has ever
received anything but sheer, vitu-
peration and SANDER from the
sheet in question? Tilden, Hen
bricks, Bryan, Vest, Hancock,
Stone, Hardin, Phelps-the list
might be stretched almost to in
tinity-all have been traduced and
villifed by it, with never a word
of saving grace for them. Nay,
even III imperial State itself has
been blackened and denounced in
the vilest terms by this advocate
OF the Folk boom, solely and alone
because it casts a Democratic vote
in the Electoral College. Is the
leadership of such a paper safe for
Democrats to follow? And is the
man it advocates--in any event
such a one as Democrats can trust?
Mr.. Folk may be pure as the
angels in the seventh heaven, but
his ways r not my ways, and
many Of his ~exploiters are not the
sort Of people | would like to see
with a s'pull'' on him after he be-
came Governor. Beware the
Greeks bearing g~ifts-and d--n the
gifts, too!

THE "intelligent compositor' is
fearfully and wonderfully made.
His rule is to ''follow copy if it
goes out of the window" and it is
a very good one; but he has the
unhappy faculty of sometimes set
ting up as "copy" that which the
writer never meant. Here is a
specimen of his brain-working
which is climactic in mistaken
identity. quote from the Perry
vile SIM: "Some of our tele-
phones have been out of order
long enough to try the practice Of
job" | think if Job were here
and attempted to teach some type
stickers the meaning of words and
the proper construction of sent
ences, it would indeed tire even
his b~oil-tested patience.

the regulation by the State of the busi- ness of the railroads.
 MT. Smith held that the defect in tho law as 1t now stands is that the commits sion has no power to carry into effect the present law, no machinery which which to make the law effective. Rates. he said, may be revised by the commission may be raised or lowered, but there is no provision by which these rates may be enforced The law as drawn by him self provides that for all lawful orders issued by the commission which the roads may refuse to recognize the commission may have power to take the initiative, though the courts. for teir enforcement.
 The speaker admitted that the roads had not so far as he could remember re- fused to abide by any order issued by the comission. but he contended that had the commission had the power to enforce any order it might issue the orders would probably have been issued more frequent ly than they have done. He hoped that whatever other measures the Legislature might pass touching the question of rail- road management that this one at least would be given the approval of the law makers. so that there might be the neces- sary machinery with which to make the action of the commission effective when eXerted.
 Final action on the part of the com mittee was not taken. The measure is to be further considered at another meet. ing Monday night.
