Two Chronic Crnxes.

One of the ways to get into swell So
ciety is to butt in through the turf or
the tan bark - the race track or the
horse show. A certain well known man
has already spent 100000 on the tan
bark without penetrating the outer Gu
ticle of the haut monde, and when he
has spent another 100000 he will still
be butting. There are two crazes which
cannot be 'cured-the craze for society
and the craze for political ofiice.-New
York Press.

said:
soon. We will pay our debts and will
have the plant running as good as
ever. This closing down was done

down they were earning $150,0O0 per

Judge Gear is to be complimented
upon his attitude in regard to the elec-
tion scandals. If there have been in
fractions of the law, and 1t is asserted
that there have BEEN the offenders
should be roundly punished, not for
the purposes of this election alone,
but as projection to the community
in future elections. We want no
crooked work at the polls and no
crooks as officers of elections.

that Manchuria is Russian territory,

President Roosevelt's message to
Congress, urging reciprocity treaty
with Cuba, should be very gratifying to
our sugar barons and annexation
friends. The policy, if carried out,
would mean the admission Of Cuban
products into the United States free of
duty, meaning that Hawaii would have
to compete against country with
which competition is out of the ques-
ton. This is another thing for which
our plantation and business men have
to thank the Republican administra-
tion, which they have been SO strenu-

by the United States Government in
the canal matter would be to insti
gate an insurrection at Panama, help
that section to secede from the United
States of Colombia and then treat
with the insurgents for the desired
right of way. So true has this turned
out that It would seem that the words
of the Sun were inspired from Wash
ington In morals, the laws of ma
tions are as binding as are any human
laws between man and man. Colon
bia was entirely within her rights in
refusing to ratify the canal treaty
and we have no more right to foment
rebellion in her territory than to
make war directly upon her. Senator
Morgan is right. Although his acts in
connection with the Hawaiian matter
were dictated by so many shares OF
sugar stock per act, it does seem that
he is trying to do the right thing now.

If fraud can be shown in connection
with the election early in the month,
the perpetrators, no matter what their
official, business or social standing is
or to what party they may belong,
should be made an example of. They
should be arrested and imprisoned ia
the full extent of the law. High-hand-
ed and illegal practices in politics have
gon on far too long, and 1t is high
time that a halt should be called. The
Republican party should be the first to
insist upon thorough investigation
and uopn the punishment of the Offend
ers. In no other way can it protect its
good name and clear Its skirts of the
stigma now resting thereon.

The genesis of fraud in the election
this year is found in the act OF Gov

election. The result of the recount

Oahu, but that the Home Rule party
is considerably the stronger. 1t is pat
ent on the face of it that an effort
should have been made to evenly bal,

A Dangerous Habit.

Beware of the young man who uses
intoxicants, no matter how moder-
ately." Human nature is very much
the same everywhere. In America we
have been used to warn men against
the use of intoxicating liquor because
of the impetuosity of the American
character. 1t is sale, that the American
goes wild over whatever he under
takes; becomes too enthusiastic, and
he drinks liquor as enthusiastically as
he does anything else. The certaEsaa
of his losing control of his appetite, IL
he drinks at ALL is almost absolute.
Facts do not seem to sustain the
opinion, once prevalent, that the drink
ing people of other nations are safe
from the results which follow indul-
gence here. The French, SO often cit
ed as a sober people, although indulg-
ing in the lighter wines, are becoming
addicted to intemperance, and are sub
stituting stronger wines for the lighter
ones. Appetite is about the same every
where. The Chinaman becomes
slave to the opium habit, as will any
one, of whatever nationality, who uses
it. With indulgence, the appetite for
grows. The only safe rule
is to let it alone. If men will not
drink, there will be no drunkards, but
if they do, beginning ever so lightly,
they will find it grow harder and hard
er to subdue the craving until appetite
will rule them to their destruction

Recipe For Happiness.

A famous statesman, who had just
celebrated his ninety fifth birthday
and seemed good for many years
more, when asked for his prescrip-
ton for longevity, replied: Don't
worry"
How true it is that worry is the
handmade of premature death. So if
you wish to live long and happy life
don't worry.
We recognize that sorrow and joy
are the common lot of humanity. When
fortune smiles we laugh and when she
frowns we grieve. 1t is right to enjoy
but wrong to brood.
You have your troubles, admittedly;
but who has none?
If your distress is financial think
that it might be worse and believe in
brighter prospect. If death is the
cause of grief let resignation play an
angels part. Ill-health is perhaps, the
sorriest trial Of all, but hope is the
good physician, and giving up but
makes the malady harder to endure.
When. troubles come, as they must
to all, comfort them with a smile and
count the friends you win.
To the brave misfortune is an in
centive to nobler deeds, and for the
weakling that bends beneath adver-
sity we have no pity. No matter how
trying the circumstances or true the
distress let US maintain our equilibri-
UNI. repress our emotions of outward
sorrow and refrain from burdening
others with our anxieties and cares.
We all know how popular those per-
sons become who are forever airing
their troubles and to what an extent
they impair their chances for success.

Table Linen.

An attractive table bespeaks the
| good housekeeper, and it can be made
attractive despite the absence of cost
ly furnishings, as the only necessary
requirements are clean table linen and
polished dishes. Centerpieces, carving
cloths and doilieS are invaluable adj
ditions to the dining table as they not
only make a dainty decoration but save
the tablecloth wonderfully, and these
cloths need not be expensive. 1t is a
good plan to buy remnants of table
linen to be used for this purpose and
sometimes short lengths can be bought
at very low prices If care is taken
in the selections to choose small pat
terms and the cloth neatly hemstitched
these are highly satisfactory articles
when finished. The best parts of old
tablecloths cut by a thread and care
fully hemmed make nice tray and cary
ing cloths and can be used to save
better ones. When purchasing new
linen it pays in the end to select the
best quality, as it must be Numbered
so often a cheap quality is soon worn
out. The rawlings should be wound
into ball and saved for darning the
linen. and if the small holes are
darned as soon as they appear the
cloths will last twice as long a beau
tifully embroidered centerpiece or
particular attention should be given
their first bath. The embroidered
pieces and other small cloths should
always be washed by themselves in
suds made of pearline and warm soft
water. Wash by rinsing up and down
and pressing and squeezing the fabric
between the hands; rinse in clear wa
ter then dry the white cloths in the
sun and those embroidered in colors
must be dried in the shade. Press the
embroidered pieces while still damp on
the wrong side with a we'll padded
board while the plain hemstitched ar
ticles must be ironed on both the
right and wrong side to give the de-
sired gloss. Iron until perfectly dry,
then lay between sheets of tissue pa
per without folding, or wind over
roller, as a crease spoils the appear
ance of the linen, especially if the
pieces are embroidered.
