dying after having bloomed a while
in the early part Of the season. A
certain magazine states that 1t Is a
good plan to out off the tops of pansies

even better. It will be a great salts
faction for many, If this is correct
and it is worth trying, for pansy lovers
dislike to see their favorites die.

FRED BECKLEY'S SPEECH.

FRED BECKLEY'S SPEECH.
Fred w. Beckley, speaker Of the
House of Representatives of the last
Legislature, spoke first in English and
then in Hawaiian. He said in part.
81 am not a Republican but Home
Ruler, but believe that the true prin-
ciples of Home Rulism are in the
election of the best men that can be
found to fill public offices. The whole
trouble with the Home Rule party is
in its leaders and not in the party
itself.
"a great responsibility rests upon the
voters in this election to find men who
are capable of filling the offices.
~If you do not vote for people that
can run the government you will have
the burden of debt to shoulder in the
future.
Don't vote for men that have spots
on them. for the public will get into
difficulties through their blunders.
s'Vote for people that are progress
sive, who can run the government.
You want people who can run 1T eco
nomicaliy and not men who VIII raise
the taxes and put the new government
Gin trouble, men, that If the county runs
short of funds, can go to the bankers
ana mercndnIS ana get CASH.
Vote for people who will push the
county ahead and not men VINO Will
put it into bankruptcy.
''The duty lies with you to elect the
proper people to office. If you elect
men who cannot raise the money when
it is needed, then you will have to go
without pay, and, consequently, you
and your families will go hungry.
'"The Legislature of 1901 had Home
Rule majority both in the Senate and
in the House." said he. But not
withstanding the efforts 1 made at the
expiration of the session, the country
was in the same condition as before
the members of the 1901 Legislature
met"
The speaker referred to the county
auditor. You have on one hand a
man who has been in public office a
long while one who understands his
work; while on the other hand a man
was put up who had absolutely no
experience in that work. My advice TO
my fellow countrymen would be TO
elect men to Office who had had suff1-
cient experience"
Mr.. Beckley then referred to High
Sheriff Brown. the Republican nominee
for county sheriff. You know how
Brown has carried on the duties of his
office" he said. HE has had ten
years experience in police matters
and on the other side is a man who
has had no executive experience at all.
Al have nothing against Robert Will
Aeox- You ali know who and what he
sis, and il is up to you to elect the
best man. / am not telling you to
vote the Home Rule ticket or the Re-
publican ticket, but 1 ask you to vote
for the best man, as I believe that is
the true principle of Home Rulism:"

to the fact that he was elected speaker

of the House of 1903 and while exer-
cising the authority vested in him he
had always dealt with impartiality
on any question that was brought be-
fore him.
Mr.. Beckley said it was through the
courtesy of the candidates on the Re-
publican ticket that he was permitted
to speak on that platform.
He went down the list of nominees
until he came to the county clerk when
he roasted the Kalauokalanis. He
said they had broken faith with him
and that in casting their ballots, the
voters must keep in mind the fact that
Moses Nakuina was an Independent
candidate for clerk, and to give him
as much consideration as the other
candidates. Beckley said that Naku-
ina had ten years experience and he,
himself, had two years of it and he
could judge of the competency or in
competency of persons.
The speaker said the future of the
Hawaiians and Of the country depended
on what was to happen during next
year, that the United States was OBJ
serving them, and that the Hawaiians
must be careful in selecting the people
who are to run the government and it
must be run economically, with intelli-
gence. Men must be elected in whom
the business community had conf
dence
The speaker was given round after
round of cheers upon finishing, hold
ing the audience closely throughout
his address.
MURRAY'S STUNT.
H. E. Murray spoke next, and said
that Kumalae had accused him of be-
ing carpenter which he was not,
but that he was a carriage builder, and
was proud of the fact that he could
earn his living at that trade whenever
he wished to. He said Furthermore it
would be an honest living. He was
capable of running the Office of County
Clerk if elected, and a whole lot more
SO than his opponent on the other
ticket.
j. c. Quinn said it was three years
since he spoke to the people from the
platform and at that time he spoke as
a Home Ruler. He said he would tell
them his reasons for being a Republi-
can. A great many natives had come
party gave him money for turning. or
not, but he stated emphatically he had
received no money, nor anything else.
He said the reason he left the Home
Rulers was that the leaders of that
party were continually leading the peo-
pie astray and that if the people fol-
lowed such guides and went over the
Pail with them it was their own fault
if they got killed. The Home Rulers
were crying for county government and
had all the chance in the world to put
it into effect. but did not use it. They
wasted their time instead, passing lady
dog bills and other nonsense. After
the Home Rulers had broken their
promise on the county government
question he handed in his resignation

MILLIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Will Garry Out the Double e-Track
Project.

Announcement has been made that
at recent meeting of the officials of
the Washington Southern Company,
which owns the Washington Southern
Railroad and the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Railroad, the
sum of sl1, 900, coo was voted to carry
out the project of double-tracking the
system between Washington and Rich
mond. The Washington Southern
Railroad extends from the south end
of the Long Bridge to Quantlco, while
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad runs from that point
to Richmond, tae two being recogniz-
ed as one and commonly know as the
Richmond and Washington Short
Line.'' The Washington Southern
Company is owned by the six railroads
entering Washington, namely, the
Chesapeake and Ohio, the Pennsyl-
vania, the Baltimore and Ohio, the
Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Southern.
The work of double tracking the
esshort line'' has been carried on al
most continually for the past few
years. With the issue just voted, how
ever, a larger force of engineers and
workmen, it is understood, will be
put to work and the project will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. 1t is
further learned that s6, 0C0,000 of the
authorized bonds have already been
issued. They are, it is said, held by
insurance and other financial corpora
tions of Greater New York. The six
railroads entering Washington are
named as guarantees and the issue
bears per cent. interest. A portion
of the money voted will be used in
making other improvements. The
ssshort line'' is 116 miles long.-Wasd-

BOTTLE BLOWING MACHINE.
Rewlnvention That Will Do Away
With Glass Blowers.

A trust has been organized by a
Toledo, o., glass factory owner and
capitalist with IS, 600, 900, to exploit a
glass bottle blowing machine, to take
the place Of glass bottle blowers. It
is claimed for this machine that three
men with three machines, working
eight hours each. can do the work Of
1O5 men. The trust is incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey, with
headquarters at Trenton. Concerning
this machine the Toledo, o., News
Bee says.
ssThe new bottle-making machine
is marvel of mechanical ingenuity,
and the creation of Mr.. NJ. j. Owens.
It is an entirely automatic apparatus
and can do the work of forty-two men
and boys under the old system OF
bottle manufacture. The machine is
the result of four and one-half years.

stalled and in operation in model

fifty of the leading glass manufactur-
ers of the country have inspected it
DUNG the sIlmmer now waning.
"Under the old system the bottles
are now blown singly and made by
hand and mouth of the operative at
the rate of sixteen gross per day for
six men and boys, and the new auto
matte machine will rush the finished
bottles through at the amazing speed
of ninety gross per day or nine bot
ties every minute, minus the labor
of six men and boys.
sThe machine not only manufactur-
es faster than under the old method,
but promises saving in the cost of
beer bottles alone of $4,000, 900 per
