HIT 1T WITH AN AXE.


the tobacco belt might as well quickly
wake up to the realization that they
must, figuratively speaking, take an axe
and go for the hydra headed monster,
trust laws of England and America, oper-
ates under the name of the British To
bacco Company. the Imperial Company
and the American Tobacco Company.
This concern. better known u our peo-
pie as the American, Tobacco Company,
for they are all one and the same. and
controlled by one directorate, having eth
| er killed out or absorbed practically all
competitors in the manufacturing line, now
seeks to rob the farmer of his tobacco and
| take it at the pitiful average of three and
four cents per pound, when it costs six
cents to made it.
| Our farmers and warehousemen have
! heretofore deluded themselves with the
vain hope that the tobacco trust dragon
| if it did secure all the business of manu-
featuring and selling the weed would pay
the farmer a living price for his tobac-
co, as the farmer would stop raising 1t
should they not do So and the warehouse
man has said practically nothing, as the
trust was his largest buyer and he feared
| its effects on the business of his ware
house.
The Times, in an article last fall, stated
in its opinion the trust was after the
warehouseman as well as the farmer, and
after killing all competition in the manu-
featuring line, it would do just as it is de-
ing now, reduce prices so low that the
farmer could not pay warehouse charges
and then tell the farmer to drive down
| to their factory and unload his tobacco
at an average OF so much per pound,
whatever the trust decided to pay for It..
The farmer having no other alternative
and wanting to save all he possibly could,
would do so. and the warehousemen who
encourage competition and speculation,
and buy themselves large amount of to-
bacco in an effort to hold up prices, would
be compelled to get out of business and
be no more.
So the situation is up to all our people.

warehousemen, and we might az well start
now and make common cause and a COM
mon fight against the extortionate greed
of soulless trust, that would starve TO
death the farmer and his little ones, see
his wife go naked and his children crying
for bread. and before it reaches this con-
dition, and while there is little life left
in the body of the people to fight, COM
mence an organized campaign that will be
far-reaching and national in its scope
against all trusts in general and this one
in particular and sweep this curse from
the country.
And it can be done. Anything is posi-
Bile with the proper amount of work. The
whole country is in a spirit of unrest be-
cause of the ever increasing power of tile
trusts. The people of the North and West
are mad because the trust has run out the
little dealer and established its own stores
for the sale of it's goods and if the eff
forts eff the trust to steal the tobacco
from the farmer, is published, and sys.

INFANT IS DEDICATED
TO THE SALVATION ARMY

hopeless man or woman appealing
fruitlessly to The Salvation Army? Do
you know that something like 100000
just such people are upheld by this
wonderful organization? Do you know
that in twenty different homes fallen
women are each year restored by the
scores to honor and a life of useful
purity? Do you know that in three
different Ravens little children, all the
way from nursing babes to sturdy
boys and girls are being succored, Oft
times after experiences to sicken the
soul of him who hears of them? Do
you know that scattered over the coun-
try are Seventy-five Shelters in which
nightly some 5000 homeless, often hope
less, men or women are cared for? Do
you know that these institutions rep
resent but mere fraction of the total
charitable work successfully carried on
by The Salvation Army in the United
States?
How is this enormous expense to be
met? Fools and ignorant know-alls
will perhaps explain to you that The
Army is in and of itself a sort of
bonanza class-corporation, and of a
truth it would need be if out of it's own
resources it carried on the stupendous
undertakings it dares. But the intel
hgent man or woman of today has
read, marked and learned The Saliva
ton Army too we'll under too many
conditions, and through too many sea-
sons to listen to folly.
No religious organization of history
has depended more fully upon the good
offices, the charitable warmth of the
great public than The Salvation Army
Happily, We are not an ungrateful peo-
pie, nor people slow to realize and
appreciate great deeds. That is why
we have right to feel sincere inter-
est in everything The Salvation Army
undertakes, and that is why we all now
take interest in The Army's annual

loads are towed out every day.
The dirty cutters need attention.
Many of them have heavy growths
which form breeding places, while
those which are not evenly graded also
breed mosquitoes, by allowing water to
form in pools
"Mr. Van Dine has started to look for
mosquito parasites, but / do not be-
lieve that they will act as effectively
as kerosene. The oil applied to water
will act much quicker than the parasite,
unless the latter can be propagated in
large numbers. We have not started
the oil crusade yet, but that will also
be begun very soon. The committee
now has subscribed about $3.50 per
month, and a man to take charge of the
campaign will be employed at the
meeting to be held this week I I'M
derstand that there have been several
applications for the position.
IF l can get as far east as New
Jersey during my vacation, I intend to
devote some time to the study of meth
DDS in vogue there for the extermina-
ton of the mosquito. I expect to bring
back some new ideas in methods of
treating the pest"

MORMONS IN
CONFERENCE

The semi-annual conference of the
Latter Day Saints, on the island of
Oahu, came to a close last evening at
the Mormon church on PunchbowI
street, after a. two-days session. The
conference was we'll attended, delega-
tons having augmented the Honolulu
section. from Laie, Waialua, Pualoa,
and waikiki
The church building was hardly large
enough to seat all the visitors, some
being compelled to remain outside.
Elder D. H. Madsen OF Provo, Utah,
presiding elder of the church in Utah,
had charge of the conference, assisted
by Elder o. H. Byber, and a visiting
elder from New Zealand.
The purpose of the gathering which
corresponds to the great gathering
every April and October in Salt Lake
City, the Mormon headquarters, was
to unite the members of the church,
to make them better acquainted, in
crease the bond of religious fellowship
and to teach them the gospel by
preaching and also by giving class
exercises of the Sunday school, mutual
institute associations and kinder
gartens.
The semf-annua1 reports were char
acterized by Elder Madsen as being
very satisfactory. Fifty-eight converts
had been added since April and there
had also been an admission of thirty
children There is a membership here
among the natives of 1900.

1t was a strange ceremony in the

in the Army hall, where sat dozens of
rough-clad men of the lower walks of
life, the ceremony had a deep inter-
est to those who seldom are permitted
to see an infant dedicated to Gods
service.
The service was special one, the
Harvest Festival it was called, and

{Sithin its influence had received of the
Sthings which nature produced, Major
Harris offered prayer of thanks, and
his address teemed with what all men
had to be thankful for.
Then came the dedication ceremony.
Before the crossed flags of the union
and the Salvation Army, stood Ad-
-iutant and Mrs. Coe, the latter holding
in her arms the little one-PearI Aloha
-Coe. Major Harris read from the dedi-
cation ritual the questions required of
the parents asking them if they will

infant, for suffering, to be cursed, re-
viled, struck, beaten, or even to be

affirmative. Taking the child in his
arms, Major Harris then proclaimed it
dedicated enjoining the parents to
keep it as far away as possible when it
grew to girls estate, from intoxicating
drink, tobacco and finery.
Meetings will be held all week. On
Saturday night a stereopticon lecture
will be given entitled I'm Darkest
America" illustrating the Army's work
amongst the slums. The hall will be
nicely decorated during the week. The
local corps is endeavoring to raise $500
TO assist them in their work. A bring

next Sunday night when the returns

COMMITTEE IS LOOKING
FOR MOSQUITO PARASITE

The mosquito war so far has been a
success. In some localities the decrease
in the number of the pests has been
distinctly noticeable and the war is to
be continued relentlessly. A meeting
of the mosquito committee will be held
some time this week at which will be
chosen a captain of the mosquito brig
ade C. H. Tracy, city sanitary Off
Ger, who has had charge of the work
since it's Inauguration, in addition to
his other duties, leaves for a vacation
tomorrow on the Siberia and new
man will have to be appointed.
The latest move in the war on mos
quitoes is a request made to the gov
eminent entomologists for their aid in
securing some parasite which will
make war upon the insect. Both Pro-
fessors Perkins, the Territorial en-
tomologist, and D. L. Van Dine, of the
United States Experiment Station,
have undertaken the work Mr.. Van
Dine says there are at least two OF
these parasites known to science, and
an effort will be made to introduce
them into the islands.
At the last meeting of the Board of
Agriculture, one Of the members, Jas.
Dole, presented a request from a men,
Der of the mosquito committee for Ter
ritorial aid in securing these parasites
and Professor Perkins was instructed
to take up the matter. Professor Koe-
belle, who is now in Ohio, will also be
asked to look for a parasite in the
States.
"The mosquito campaign so far has
been a success said c. H. Tracy yes
terday. 1.-The success has not been as
complete as it should have been be-
cause of the lack of interest in some
parts of the city. Still there has been
on the whole, cordial cooperation re-
ceived from many localities, and there
is nothing to complain of.
Nearly all of our work has been in
the district, Waikiki Of Alapai street,
and it has been pretty thorough in that
locality. Generally, the people have
been willing to help, and have shown
desire to clean up and to find out Just
what is necessary to insure getting rid
of the mosquito. We have covered the
whole of this district with the posters
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and they are now
being printed in Hawaiian, Portuguese,
Chinese and japanese ana will be dis
tributed this week.
THE tin can crusade has been very
successful and the district Waikiki of
Alapai has been cleaned UP. We have
carted away about two hundred wagon
loads of cans in the time we had 10
work, nearly half a million cans, /
guess On the other side of Nuuanu
there must be twice as many cans,
about five hundred wagon loads, L
should say.
In the vacant lots we have to do
most of the manual labor ourselves but
where people are living, they have al
WAYS been of assistance. Once the tin
cans are all cleaned out we intend TO
devote our time to a crusade on the
cutters, which are also good mosquito
breeding places. The cans are all TAX
