1t may be that the Congressman in

ONLY A FEW,

OF the multitudes of people
around us very few are really
in good health. Most of them
are victims to a greater or less
extent of some disease. For
time nature holds her own, Of
ten with youth and ambition to
help her; then the overtaxed or
gans break down, and the poi
sonous germs in the blood and
tissues get in their deadly work.
This may happen suddenly or
slowly, but the result is the
same. The number of people
who are thus afflicted and hand
icapped is far beyond computa-
ton or estimate. In perhaps a
majority of these cases the all
ment arises from bad digestion,
and is thereafter complicated
with some form of dyspepsia.
The ordinary treatment is sell
dom or never successful, and
medical men now prescribe

perties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,

livers, combined with the Com

NAVY OFFICERS
ON GOLFERS

Naval officers will hereafter have to
take command Of the dirty naval COL
liers. This Is the determination OF
the Navy D partment, stated on au-
thority Of the Secretary. in a letter
to Representative H. L. Maynard of
Portsmouth, Va.
This is the first announcement of
the determination of the Navy Depart
ment to this effect. and 1t will create
a stir in naval circles. It came about
by the application of Capt. ]. w.
Holmes, second officer on one Of the
cc.iiers, for the command Of one of
these ships.
In reply. the Secretary informed the
congressman that the department had
fully determined that hereafter only
naval officers would be appointed to
the command of naval golfers. and
that it was most improbable that civil
ians would hereafter be given appoint
ments in the collier service. The let
ter went on to state that the crews OF
the golfers will be made up as largely
as possible of naval seamen.
During the Spanish-American war
the Golfers were commanded by cap
tains and commanders of the
navy with commissioned executive Of
ficers and regular naval crews. Then
however. they were armed. to protect
their cargoes from the enemy, but aft
er the war their armament was re-
moved and the ships were reduced to
freighters, pure and simple. Civilian
commanders were appointed and they
still hold their commands.

ISLAND COMMENT
ON THE ELECTION

Not much is to be said regarding
the result of the election. 1t is GER
tain that some Of the Republican can
didates were knitted by their own
people. Had the white people voted
for the candidates nominated in the

sit in an office and say how events
might have been otherwise; the fac.
remains that they are not and those
who wished otherwise must accept the
conditions gracefully. 1t will be better
If the public will lend its aid in maxi
ing county government under Hawai-
ian administration a success rather
than hammering 1t down. 1t Is to the
interest of every one that affairs run
along smoothly and the public may
assist toward that end. Next year
the Republicans may have an oppor-
tunity to do some thing for the party
candidates. ut will be strange If their
chances of election are not better
Hilo Herald.
The defeat of the Republican tick
ct was invited by the party when 1T
refused to consider public sentiment
at the time OF the convention. A gem
eral unvarying political feeling in H.
10 for ten years has been one of more
or less hostility to the powers at Ho-
nolulu. The people here have for many
years rejoiced in complaints against
the gang. They have said IL we ever
have the chance to vote we will down
the push and any who represent them
here. The nomination of l.. A. An
drews was a challenge to scratch the
ticket. Not so much was this true on
account of Andrews personally as 1t
was because of his political connec-
ton. and because of local antipathy
to the regime of which Mr.. Andrews
has been an exponent for years. The
dominant factor in the convention
| staked the fate of the party on this
one candidate, needless of the fact that
his feet were of lead and that better
timber was available. They could not
believe that any one could oppose their
views upon just grounds and with the
good of the party as a motive. The
| Republicans waded in on too narrow
| lines Suppose Peter Lee and w. A.
| Todd and A. b. Lindsay had been on
| the ticket would the party not now
| be stronger?-Hlo Tribune.
RESULT ON MAUI.
The result of the county election on
| Maui this week, by which the entire
| Home Rule ticket so into office is a
matter of most grave and serious con-
| Germ to every one interested in the
welfare of Maui. The Home Rule leg
| islature failed to give us county gov
| eminent, and the following Republican
| legislature passed the desired act. The
| News rightly urged that the party
| which passed the act should be allow
| ed to inaugurate its workings, but
| the majority of the voters have de-
cided otherwise. While the personnel
of the newly elected officers does not
| by any means comprise the best men
| that could have been chosen, still they
| are elected and they should be given
| a fair chance to prove their worth.
The News is ready to lead in the mat
| ter Of giving them a cordial and
hearty support so long they prove
| themselves worthy of it, and equally
| as ready to show them up. If they fall
