it necessary to abandon these, much
to the destruction of the beauty of ar.

NO LIQUOR AT
THE SETTLEMENT
BOARD OF HEALTH DENIES AN
OTHER APPLICATION FOR A
LICENsE-sALE OF sWIPEs.

The Board of Health had a CONSUL
tation with John Cassidy of the Mutual
Telephone Company yesterday regard
ing the telephone line from the Leper
Settlement to other parts of Molokai
Cassidy said that the appropriation of
$4,000 was verv small for such a large
job and that there was great difficulty
in passing over and through the gulch-
es and jungles. DR.. Cooper said that
he would bring the matter up at the
next meeting of the Executive Council
and see if the money could be secured
at once to make start.
The question of intoxicating drinks
at the Leper Settlement was brought
up again, superintendent McVeigh re-
porting that there is much sale of
swipes. He wanted to know if a reg
ulatlon could be made to the effect that
mere possession of the stuff might be
actionable against the lepers, and the
matter was referred to the committee
on regulations. ]. X. Kahele's petit
ton for beer, ale and wine license
was denied, McVeigh being Instructed
to inform the lepers generally that it
was against the policy of the Board
of Health to allow any intoxicating
liquors at the settlement.
The petition of S. X. Kapihe for leave
to his wife to attend on him, at the
Settlement was granted on the advice
of McVeigh who said the petitioner was
an old man with probably not a great
while longer to live.
Mr.. Mays was granted more time to
report on A. l.. Perry's application
for leave to establish cemetery at
Kapiolani tract, Kalihi, as he had not
been able to visit the ground.
DR.. James Molony's application to be
transferred as government physician
from Koolaupoko and Koolauloa, Oahu
to Lahaina Maui, was granted.
| President Cooper reported that the
medical members of the Board as a
committee on filling the office of Food
| Commissioner had decided upon a
competitive examination of applicants
under direction of DR.. Shorey, the re-
firing incumbent. There were four APP
plicants for the position.
A letter was read from L. L. Conra-
dy, M. D., repeating an application of
the writer to be made assistant super
intendent at the Settlement. He wrote
from Belgium. DR.. Conrardy was for
merly at the Settlement as Brother

AN NINCIDENTIN
SELF-DENIAL,.

The following incident occurred in
the life Of certain preacher: On q
Sunday morning he was making an
effort to raise money for some bcnay-
olent object, A gentleman in the
congregation expressed his interest
il the contribution quite literally.
His wife was sitting il the congrcGa-
ticn with the pastor's wife into who's e
ear she reached over and whispered,
"There goes my coat suit for this
winter" A moment later the pastor
announced he would make u contri-
button. Thereupon the pastors wife
whispered to the lady by her side,
"There goes my winter jacket"
The writer has no desire to call
into question the sincerity OF these
good women, for all he knows they
may have spoken the truth, but he
arises to make the remark, that il
they did speak the truth, they are in
hopeless minority, The fact OF the
business is, most people give to tn
support Of religion; what they car
| well afford 10 do without themselves
This is true with respect to the luxu.
RES Of life as well as the necessities
Where is the man that cuts down his
cigar bill that he may deal generous
ly with the Lord? Where is the wo
man that does without spriug bon.
net in order that she may contribute
to the support of the religious insti.
tutions?

truer representation of Jesus Christ
on the earth.
And the world would feel its effect
more. Many rrofessed Christians
sing,
Jesus, | my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee"
and at the close Of the hymn, hunt
out few nickcls from the midst Of n
fat pocket book and piously drop
them into the contribution basket.

Booker T. Washington said in a
recent speech that the negro preacher
during the last twenty five or thirty
years has been the preserver of peac e
and harmony between the races.
For once we think Booker r. Wash
ingtoa sadly mistaken. One of the
chief causes Of disturbance, ND to p
few years ago, was the negro preacher ;
his ignorance and lack Of scruples
led him in many instances into fool
ish acts. We are glad to believe,
however, that in recent years there
has been a marked change. The
average negro preacher Of today is
far superior in education and moral
character to what he.was. a few years
past. and today the best men in the
negro ministry are helping to solve
the question wisely. The negro
preacher Of the future will doubtless
be one Of the most potent factors in
bringing about a solution that will

Hon. David Eastman, of Roberts

impossible for an ordinary far
mer on a few hours notice to
make what should be termed an

the citizens of a town and county
who could show the enterprise
and grit to arrange and bring
forth an exhibition such as was

citizens of Grant and Roberts

of soil, climate and good citizen

something that was not common

the fact that we have not had a
