fond of Dick, did not trust him. In her
friend and pastor she had implicit
faith. Noting his look of grim despair
and Edith's glance of triumph, she
turned to Dick with ready wit "Oh,
Dick, it is early to go for your boat
ride; won't you come into the garden
and help me few moments?"
Dick looked toward Edith and his
rival hesitatingly, but he could not re-
fuse. AS they passed out into the gar
den, Edith rose, saying: Pray, ex-
cuse me, Mr.. Strong; but l think my
mother needs me. too" she stepped
lightly around the table. AS she
passed his chair, he fixed his eyes on
her face and held out his hand i'm
pulsively.
Edith" he said hoarsely, why do
you torture me so?" Then, drawing
himself erect, he added: But to-
night you shall hear me- If you pre-
fer to listen in company with Dick
Haskins and your mother, you may go
to the garden"
Edith saw that he was in earnest
and angry; yet, fascinated by the
strange attraction which this man pos
sessed for her, she seated herself and
turned toward him, thrilling under his
passionate gaze.
Cant you see how I love you,
Edith? Have you no heart that you
can play with me as you have, and
still smile at my agony?" and. in his
passionate anger, he seized her wrist
roughly.
The girls smile was gone imme-
diately and a look of mingled fear
and remorse took it's place. AS she
gave little gasp of pain, he released
her wrist hastily.
Forgive he, Edith. I have hurt

and the young man stood humbled and

Two sons were born of noble birth.

TO mans estate they grew apace.
Two stalwart princes of their race.

They crowned the conquering warrior

THE INTERESTS OF THE NATIVE.

There was a strong point made by
Mr.. Beckley in his recent speech when
he said that Republican officials. when
in need of money for the legitimate
expenses of the government, can al
ways get an advance from the banks
and merchants, but that Home Rule
officials, though their need be equally
urgent, would appeal in vain. Finan-
cal men, here |as elsewhere, only help
the men they can trust.
This is a consideration which the
native laborer should keep in mind.
When long waits come in the work
of road and bridge building and re-
pairs he is the one who suffers most
by it. 1t is to his interest to have
public work go on and it's wages reg
ularly paid: but he cannot make sure
of this means of support if he votes
for irresponsible men like those who
head the Home Rule county ticket.
In brief Republican success means
that employment for manual laborers
will be steady and it's pay secure,
while Home Rule success would mean
lust the reverse.

BECKLEY AND THE HOME RULERS.

Speaker Beckley impresses this paper
as n man who, as a general thing,
means well for Hawaii and all Its
people, white and brown, That he
went Off on a tangent against the
whites in the matter Of the Immigra-
tIon Commissioner need not stand
against him in view OF his quick recov-
cry OF common sense and his reversal
Of the anti-haole course. Taking his
legislative record as n whole 1t is the
best made by any Hawaiian since the
Territory began. Many good meas
ures and few II any doubtful ones owe
their success in the Legislature to Mr..
Beckley's work and counsel.
A man OF this character has no busi-
ness in the Home Rule party. He be-
longs with the best men of his race
in the Republican party. The Home
Rulers are like the congregation OF
malcontents and soreheads that gath
cred. as the Bible says, In the cave
of Adullam. Whenever a man be-
comes so questionable that neither the
Republican nor the Democratic party
of Hawaii will harbor him he joins the
Home Rule party. II he Is an ex-em-
bezzler his welcome there is all the
more enthusiastic, as OF one who
knows the way to green pastures and
hidden hordes. Given a sidetracked
man or one who is ignorant or preju-
diced and fun of simple credulity,
weak or a bad man and he takes to
the Home Rule party rs naturally as
a pig to the wallowing in the mire.
In such company a Wilcox, Motley,
a Boyd, a Bill White, n Kumalae ana
a Kalauokalani may thrive as blind
leaders of the blind; but 1t is no more
a place for man like Beckley than 1t
is for Delegate Kuhlo, or Mark Robin
son or Henry Smith or Kepoikai or any
other real leader Of the native people.

ROSENBERG HEARD FROM.

Mr.. Rosenberg has informed the
large aggregation of Slavs, Poles,
Huns, Italians, and other Europeans
who have collected under the name
of the American Federation of Labor,
that the policy OF the Hawaiian Gov
eminent is to check all immigration
except that of Japanese and Koreans.
Before Mr.. Rosenberg left here an
immigration agent, drawing govern
ment pay, vas at work upon plans to
get white Europeans and Americans
to labor in the cane fields of Hawaii.
During the past twenty years Ameri-
cans, Portuguese, Italians, Germans,
Galicians, Porto RiCans, South Sea
Islanders and negroes have been in
dustriously sought and some of them
secured. More are wanted If they
will come to labor in the fields; but the
trouble in the past has been that they
preferred other forms of employment
and sought them, leaving the planters
in the lurch. The Americans baked
at "coolie work." the Portuguese are
small farmers and took up land of
their own; the Germans did likewise;
the Galicians, inspired by labor dema-
gogues, jumped their plantation Jobs
and sought employment in town; the
negroes We're failures and many have
turned out to be criminals; of the
Porto Ricans, the majority are now
in the fields but are less satisfactory
laborers than the Japanese Further
experiments are being made with white
men in the hope that the right sort
may be found; but if not, the planta-
tions must turn to Asiatics as a mat

THE BURNED VOUCHERS.

The community has nothing to hope
from the Territorial grand jury In the
way Of investigation of the legislative
vouc' er scandal. After several weeks
session it's jurymen are as mum as
oysters. A glance at the names or
some OF them may explain why.
The Federal grand jury Is also In
session. From 1t a different result
may be expected.
1t is charged that federal law has
been violated; not only this but most
openly and hagrantly violated.
The whole of the vouchers of the ex-
penditures OF the House of Represen-
tatives have disappeared. Before they
disappeared IL was publicly announced
that they were going to be burned,
as the vouchers OF the preceding
House had been burned, for the ex-
press purpose Of preventing the ex-
posture OF the Illegal and fraudulent
use of public money.
The threat has been carried out so
far as the public knows. The law
requires that all of the records of the
legislature shall be filed with the Sec
rotary of the Territory.
The Clerk of the House has delivered
to the Secretary part of the records,
but not a single voucher, and he gives
no coherent or sufficient explanation
of what has become of them.
There has never In a civilized coun-
try been n more open and shameless
defiance of law and decency than the
way in which the public money was
mis-spent by the House of Repre-
sentatives and the evidence thereof
made way with while the only ex-
PLANTATION offered by the guilty parties
is the query: What are you going to
do about it?"
The Territorial grand jury will do
nothing about 1t.
Graft in the Legislature on the
scale carried on by the House of Rep
Is new thing in Hawaii.
The rogues who profited by it are
waiting to see what will happen. If
a few of them can be put behind the
bars, the practice will be broken up
and we will have a Legislature which
will not smell to heaven. If they find
that they are allowed to go scot free,
l saturnalia of corruption may be ex-
,ected in the next legislature. The
nope for decent government in Hawaii |
depends very largely upon the action

MIDDLE AGE ATHLETICS.

Interest in athletics is not confined
to the young in Honolulu nor to those
who cultivate the habit of outdoor
sports. Many middle-aged business
men are taking up various forms of
physical exercise In the belief that,
here In the tropics, it is even more
essential to ones health than in the
temperate zones. The truth probably
Is that in cooler climates more exer-
else Is taken without knowing 1t than
a man incidentally gets here, and that
In warm climate one must adopt
some regular schedule of activity and
follow 1t up. or he will almost uncon-
sciously slip into slothful and indolent
ways.

installed gymnastic apparatus in their
homes 10 large. Many have taken up
the gymnastics without apparatus
which a highly advertised Chicago
man prescribes and find them bene-

schools of physical culture are we'll

Corbett for his great fights and brought
out Jeffries, the worlds champion.
The athletic department of the Y. NJ.
C. A. is doing a useful work. Moth
ing, unfortunately, has come to take
the place of the bicycle, which so
many were riding a couple of years
ago, nor Is much rowing done, but on
the whole there is a creditable zeal
among men in finding means for the
betterment of their health and muscle.
This course of physical treatment
will go great way to solve the
problem of the deterioration of whites
in the tropics, of which medical jour-
nails now and then speak. That de-
terioration comes, Is undeniable; but
1t is usually a result, here as elsewhere,
Of sloth and self-indulgence. Nobody
ever knew a white man who lived a
normal, healthy life and gave his
physical needs the attention they de-
serve, to run down in such a place
as Hawaii because Of the climate. In
deed, those young men among US who
have gone in for athletics, have won
over and over again in physi-
cal contests with the crack men of
Eastern colleges. When we do ex-
ercise it Is to some purpose. 1t would
almost seem as If exercise carried men !

There are certain hygienic reasons
