POLITICAL TIDE SETS
TOWARD JUDGE PARKER
Friends in New York Begin to Figure Out How He Will
Control the State Convention

The friends Of Judge Parker have
taken new hope and believe that things

TO move in their direction from now on

Their confidence is based upon the i'm

instructing the delegates to vote for his
nomination. Judge Parkers friends as

An ADpTeCiatlVe Clergyman.
A Camden Minister Who Really Likes
the Newspapers.

The jaded nerves Of the thou
sands of exchange editors IN tins land
received a distinct and pleasurablc
shock from the report of the sermon
OF one Mr.. Fishburn, a clergyman of
Camden, n. J. Mr. Fishbmn ac-
tually admires newspapers. Tie
phenomenon Is so remarkable as to
assume almost the aspect of a lusua
naturae.
Ii is not to be inferred from this
that there Is nothing admirable in.
newspapers, of course, but the fact Is
that clergymen and novelists seem to
have some sort of myopia which pre-
vents them from seeing the good
qualities of the press. When the
average clergyman wants 10 .xplain
the failure of his church get an
adequate congregation he goes for the
Sunday papers, which keep people al
home to read them when they ought
to 90 TO church. When the novelist
wants to describe a family Of real re
fnement and shrinking delieacy, a
convenient object from which they
may shrink, Is the brazen- newspaper
reporter, who Is so eager to print all
the news which the family and their
friends viii rush to buy and read
when once it Is printed. But Mr.
Fishburu really seems to have an idea
that newspaper men can run news
papers about as well as any outsider
could, not excepting himself.
He said IN this sermon of his, for
one thing, that he was daily surprised
at the brilliancy and point of edi-
torials which were of necessity writ
ter in a hurry. He seemed TO think
that they were as good as magazine
articles, which, if the truth were
known. are quite as likely 10 be writ
Ten IN a hurry, since the popular
magazine writer Is usually besieged
with orders for articles. The perspi-
eaeity and good feeling shown in his
view of things are both remarkable
and refreshing.
As belonging to7a profession which
has long been the object of every
body's kicks, and whose representa-
tives have had little to sustain them
in their tolls beyond the humble con-
sciousness that they were doing the
best they could, possibly the best that
anyone could in the circumstances,
TIE Times wishes to thank Mr.. Fish
burn. He really seems to perceive
that newspaper man Is not so diff
ferent from other men, after ali.
Most Of us are doing business for
money, but most Of us feel that bust
ness Is business-not necessarily
either a reform movement or a con
game. We are not the angels Of the
church militant that some people
think we ought to be, and there are
some things which would be highly
desirable which cannot be accom-
plished by the press because the sub
scribers would not agree TO II. But
II those who sneer at the press Of the
country would only try to discrimi-
nate a little, they would find that
there are some newspapers with as
high an ideal Of honor, honesty, and
courage -as can be found anywhere
outside The newspaper business. and
that the scalawags are as few in this
profession as IN any other 1t IS. m-
doubtediy, hopeful SIGN that one
clergyman has come right out and
recognized this, In public.

VENTURA IN AND
OUT YESTERDAY

The big Oceanic liner Ventura arrived
from the Colonies early yesterday morn
ing and locked at AS. She left Sgd
ney at EOS p. m, making this port in
fourteen days and seventeen hours and
forty-three minutes actual steaming
time The regular stops were made at
Auckland and Page Page. Between
Australia and New Zealand heavy
weather was encountered but the rest of
the voyage was made in perfect weather.
On board the steamer were thirty-five
first cabin, forty-two second cabin and
fourteen steerage passengers, avery light
load. Two of the cabin and one of the
Storage passengers are for this port.
One of the cabin passengers for this
port was Lieut.. Col. Cleve, the German
army officer who came here from the
Orient several weeks ago on a tour of
the world. He stopped over at this port
and took a side trip to Australia. The
other is E. H. Cant of Hilo who has
been to Australia on business trip.
Mr.. and Mrs A NJ Miller and Miss
Maud Hobson Of the ''Gaiety Girl COM
pany are on their way to the coast after
an exceedingly successful tour of the
Colonies. Mrs. Miller, or Elsie Ryan as
she is better known, is now under con-
tract with Charles Frohnlan.
The cargo of the Ventura amounted
to only 400 tons, seven of which was for
this port She sailed for the coast at ?
p. m. yesterday with a small list OF pas
sengers from this port Among them
was Cy Russell who has been on the
Eiks' baseball team during the past sea-
son.
John Hind, manager of Hawi panta-
ton and K. S. Gjerdrum of Honokaa
are going to the States for vacations.
A good crowd saw the steamer off
but the absence of the band deprived
the departure of the gala appearance 1t
usually has and seemed to have the effect
of damperling the ardor of the crowd on
the wharf Several of the through pas
sengers had narrow escape from being
left when the boat sailed but at last they
were all marshalled on board and the
gang plank was dropped few minutes

I AIRPORT HAD
A ROUGH TRIP

Battered by wind and wave the big
British ship Fairport came into port
yesterday after a voyage of 1877 days
from Hamburg with cargo of general
merchandise. The story of her voyage
is one of hardship and pilikia in buck
ing the tremendous storms that she
encountered during the entire voyage.
Some time before she arrived off the
mouth of the River Platte. the shiEs
ran into big storm that lasted for
days. The wind blew a gale and dam
aged the rigging badly. besides carry
ing away a number of sails. The fore
sail and two topsaiis were carried away
in this storm.
Gigantic seas swept the deck of ev-
erything movable and left their mark
on what they could not carry away.
Both lighthouses were badly damaged
and the pig house swept into the sea-
The eapstan was put out of commission
and the capstan bars were carried
overheard by a big wave. A large
number of smaller articles were lost
overheard in this spell of stormy
weather. After this gale had abated
the Fairport encountered rough seas
for days. The trip around the Horn
was not as bad as might have been
expected after the weather experienced
in the Atlantic. The ship rounded the
horn in ten days.
No sooner than the vessel got into
the Pacific than her bad luck began
again and she lost a topmast yard and
split several sails in big storm that
swept the South Pacific during the mid
die of August. After this the ship ran
into fair weather and had a fine trip
all the remainder of her voyage. A
German four-masted schooner WAS
sighted in latitude 5634 south and
longitude s7:25 west. So days out from
Falmouth to Iquiqui The principal
elements of the Fairports cargo are

ARGYLL HAD
MUCH PILIKIA

The well known oil steamer Argyll
unexpectedly arrived in port early yes
terday morning from Kahului. She ar
rived at Kahului last Thursday morning
ard discharged COCO barrels OF oil at that
place, sailing for Kihei the following
morning. There was big shipment OF
oil to be discharged at that place but
when the hose was connected to the
pump it was found that the line would
not stand the pressure and the work had
to be given up. The steamer then re-
turned to Kahului and began to pump
her cargo ashore at that place.
After working all Sunday night the
weather which was already rough be
came much worse and the spindle which
holds the hose in place over the break
ers was demolished putting an end to
the work. Captain GiIboy then gave up
the fruitless task and set sail for tins
port where he discharged the remainder
OF his cargo amounting TO some 1900
barrels. She will probably sail Tor the
coast early this morning.

WHITE PAINT
FOR LINE RS

1t has been suggested that the crack
boats of the Oceanic line would look
much better if they were given a coat
OF white paint Formerly the vessels
of the line were painted white as may
be seen by a glance at the photograph of
the Ventura on this page. The ships
of the Togo Kisen Kaisha line are all
painted white and are among the pref
test ships afoat, looking like steam
yachts. The big Empress liners of
the Canadian Pacific line plying between
Vancouver. Victoria ard the Orient are
all painted white and are beautiful boats.
The army transports, while not built on
lines that make them pretty ships are
much improved by their white coats as
may be seen by a comparison of the or
binary transport with ones painted black
like the Dix
There is no question that the average
traveller who cannot pick out ship be-
cause of its safety or comfort on account
of his ignorance of marine architecture
allows the looks of the ship to influence
him in his choice of routes. There IS
another reason why ships of a line run
ming through tropical waters should be
painted white ard that is the influence
of the color on temperature. It is well
known that this was the cause that
originated our famous White Navy"
In the last part of the 'Sos Just after
the little fleet of unarmored steel ships,
the Boston, Atlanta, Chicago and Dol
phin were built the little dispatch boat
Dolphin lay in New York harbor. 1t
was one of New Yori's hottest summer
DAYS and the black sides of the ship bis
tered under the boiling rays of the noon
day sun. Inside the men were suffering
from the heat Suddenly the captain
jumped up from his couch where he had
been trying to fan himself into state of
GOODNESS and ordered the men to get out
and paint the ship white. They obeyed
and it is said thar the temperature with
in the ship decreased seventeen degree
as result
The example of the Dolphin's conf
mander was followed by the other COM
nanders and finally the Navy Depart
ment adopted the color as the standard
in time OF peace The crack cruising
ships of the Hamburg American line and
the North German Lloyd which carry
excursion parties through the tropics are
all painted white both for appearance
and TO keep the temperature down.
There are many who would welcome a
change from the soTnber, dirty black of
the Pacific liners.
