A BADGE OF STATEHOOD.

There were two women standing side
by side at stall in the Terminal Mar
ket yesterday awaiting their turn to
be served. Each carried big willow
basket on her arm, and as the pro-
of the women lifted the cover from
her basket and said:
1.-TWO quarts of those white onions,
please"
The man looked at her somewhat
stupidity for moment and then said:
ION, you mean a quarter peck"
The woman assented and the other
woman with the basket looked at her
curlously for moment and then ask
ed: You're from New York or the
Eastern States. aren't you?"
"Yes, from New York State" said
the other woman.
II knew 1t! They always figure by
quarts i'm those States until they get up
full peck, and here, and in New Jer-
sey and Ohio 1 know, II is all quarter
peck and half peck"
Isn't 1t funny" said the other wom-
an. But were you ever South or in
the Washington markets."
No" said the other, II never have
been"
WELL" said the New York State
woman. that's the most curious of all.
Everything goes by small measure
and large measure. 1t has such a de-
lightfully indefinite sound, like prize
package or lottery in which you may
draw something big or nothing at ALL"

PUBLIC OPINION IS
AGAINST EXTRA SESSION
CONTINUED from page ~

CONTINUED from page ~
Guilty of obtaining credit in the un-
settled state of affairs.
If special session is called the leg.
islature will be at liberty to act as il
pleases, and introduce bills of every
resolutions which some Legislators are
already said to be preparing; for in
stance a vote of want of confidence in
the Supreme Court, and a few choice
ones relative to the Governor and Ke-
poikai.
Home Rulers who were talked with
yesterday say they are willing to bind
themselves to pass the county bill and
go home when that is done.
w. o. Smith. chairman of the Re-
publican Commission which framed the
County Act, said it was a good time
now ito stop and think" AS the speed
lest remedy he suggested an immediate
appeal to Congress. which he consider
ed the surest method of settling the
present difficulty. He did not believe
the Supreme Court having held the
County Act invalid in two different de-
cisions, that the Legislature could pass
a bill that would stand the test of the
courts in view of the limitations of the
Organic Act.
Chairman Crabbe, of the Republican
Executive Committee, said the COM
mittee would meet with the Governor
this morning. He thought that it
would require at least sixty days for
the Legislature to pass a new bill.
Curtis Iaukea, chairman of the Home
Rule Committee, said the committee
was to hold it's regular weekly meet
ing this afternoon at which the ques-
ton would probably come up. He said
that the committee passed a resolution
condemning the Hatch mission, but had
afterwards reconsdered it, and was
willing to have the County Act endors-
ed by Congress.
Representative Andrade was of the
opinion that anything would be better
than special session of the Legisla-
ture.
Representative Jonah Kumalae, for
mer Republican leader in the House,
now Home Ruler, said n special ses-
sion should be called and the members
bound to take up only the county bill
or the appropriation bills for which the
Governor would call them. He said
he would sign such an agreement. TT

1t is urged by some that the steamer
fares are too high and the means OF
transit too infrequent. No doubt it
would help us II rates We're reduced
and greater regularity of service es-
tablished. These are things which
weigh with a certain class, but not
with all, as there are crowds going
past us to Japan every year, and the
various resorts in the Orient are
thronged. What we want to do is to
ascertain the reasons why these ISL
ands are not attracting the tourist
class, and II we have not begun to ap-
ply the proper remedy, to find 1t and
apply II without delay. We should
be glad to have your ideas on this sub
ject. as well as some expression OF
opinion as TO whether you think our
promotion committee are going to
work the right way"
