Home RULERS
HAD SPEECHES
THE MAUI DELEGATES DID NOT
LIKE TO COME HERE AND SIT
IN a CONVENTION OF EMPTY
BENCHES.

The Maui Home Rule delegation,
coming from a Home Rule stronghold,
were much surprised and dlsgusted at
finding themselves in a convention of
empty benches yesterday, and one of
the delegates made a complaint last
night. Il didn't come over the sea to
Oahu on public business to sit in a con-
vention of empty benches" said this
speaker, who ended up by roasting Ku-
malae as if the emptiness was due to
him. This afternoon l listened to an
eloquent speech by Mr.. Kumalae, NOM
mating our delegate to Congress and
predicting a Home Rule victory. But
don't see Mr.. Kumalae here tonight.
Probably there was a dance or an en-
tertainment of some sort tLat was more
important than the public business Of
this convention"
Delegate Kamai roasted Jimmie"
Boyd for not showing up. Kamai was
wounded in the rebellion of 'S3 and told
how he had been shot to pieces, but was
still able to bear the burden of his par
ty duties. Boyd had never been a Re-
publican and had never been shot, but
he came into the Home Rule party and
was promptly made President of his
precinct club. Now he had gone back
on his duties, leaving them to fall ES

PROTECTION
SCHEME FAILS
JUDGE GEAR HOLDS THAT THE
TERRITORY CANNOT KEEP FOR
EIGN CORPORATIONS FROM Do
ING BUSINESS HERE.

Judge Gear this morning handed
down judgment in the case of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii by attorney General
Andrews against the Pacific Hardware
and Steel Company and T. A. Hays it's
agent, by which the territory's appli-
cation for an injunction to restrain the
company from doing business is denied
The case was a test brought to see
whether such concerns as the Pacific
Hardware and Steel Company, which
have agencies and offices in Hawaii
are liable to the taxes imposed by the
territorial acts.
The defence set up was that the busi-
ness done by the Pacific Hardware 81
Steel Company is part of the foreign or
Interstate commerce of the United
States and as such is not liable to any
territorial tax. This view is accepted
by Judge Gear,
In his decision, after quoting a large
number of precedents, the Judge says;

it has a sum to his credit and that,
with his identification, enables him to

USES OF SALT.
The Universal and Important Use Of a Very

The Universal and Important Use Of a Very
Common Article Of Utility.
A grain Of salt seems trivial thing.
Yet to it human beings often owe
their lives. Few of the natural pro.
ducts OF the earth play greater part
in the everyday life than salt, and
yet most men and women think OF it
as very simple thing. People would
very soon become i'll if deprived OF it.
1t exists in all parts of the body, and
the human blood without its particles
is lifeless. Many times when death
seemed near the vitality has been re-
vived and sustained by the pumping
of salted water into the veins.
No food is adequately seasoned with
out the proverbial pinch OF salt. A
person requires from one-fourth to
one-half ounce of salt daily. In the
olden times the Dutch used to punish
criminals by diet of unsalted food.
Their physical sufferings were great
and usually ended in death.
Not alone must salt be plentifully
added to all vegetable foods, but meats
and fowl would not be palatable with

"Will you explain just the practical
benefit of mile posts along a railroad

of Superintendent Schaff OF the Peoria

white painted posts.

"I don't suppose that mile posts are
of any particular benefit. The trave.
Ter can tell by looking out the car win
dow how far he is from terminal
points, but in that he is not greatly
interested.
"Some people like to figure out
from the mile posts how far they have
travelled or how far they have to 60,
and there not few who like to time
the speed OF trains by the mile posts.
But that is not what the posts are for.

eff an accident occurs, a rail breaks,
car let's down, or anything out of the

the Superintendent is notified of the
proximity OF the mishap to some par
ticular mile post and thus the spot can
be located and men are sent there at
once, and they can 90 in hurry, for
they know where the place is. Other
wise they would have to move slowly

found and this means . loss of time

hard to railroad successfully without
them."

FOR WAGON ROADS.
CONGRESSMAN BROWNLOW BE-
LIEVES IN THEM.

He Has introduced Bill ApPropriatins $24.-
100000, Which Calls for a Like Sum From
the Different States, or S4S, O0O, 900 in all.
Covering a Period OF Three Years-Ths is
One Of the Most Sensible Suggestions for
Benefit of the Whole People Yet Made by
the Politicians.
There is pending in Congress bill
called the Brownlow Bill, introduced
by Hon. Walter P. Brownlow, of Ten
nessee, which appropriates $24 900, 900
as national aid for the building OF
wagon roads. This sum is to be avail
able at the rate of SIS, ,000,0 year; is
to be divided according to the popula-
ton of different States, but no State is
to receive less than $250,O0O. Every
State receiving National aid must ap-
propriate and spend like amount.
The asserted growth of sentiment in
favor of the measure has been chiefly
due to the institution and extension Of
the rural free mail delivery system,
which has brought the disadvantages
Of poor roads home to the farmers and
other country dwellers. Applications
for the extension of the free rural de.
livery system are being refused by the
postoffice authorities on account OF
roads, and the disappointed communi-
ties demand their improvement. These
demands are so in excess OF the ability
of the local boards to respond to, that
for year past, highway commissions
all over the country have been putting
themselves on record in favor of Ma.
tional aid.
1t is claimed on behalf of the bill
that the plan of distribution is more
equitable than the distribution of
some $32, 100000 a year under the
Rivers and Harbors Bill, which goes
principally to the seaboard States and
to the Mississippi delta.
In support of the Brownlow Bill as
q general measure, attention is called
to the fact that France has 24,6O3
miles of wagon road, which are built
and maintained by the nation, and
Italy about 5000 miles, while many OF
the States of the Union spend hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars annually
in aid OF highway improvement.

with vinegar it is an excellent polish,
and it is used in the water with which

commonplace old woman. They had
their own pursuits and companions.
She fingered among them for two or
three years, and then died OF sudden
failure of the brain. The shock woke
them to consciousness of the truth.
They hung over her, as she lay un.

eldest son, as he held her in his arms,
cried: "You have been a good moth

and her eyes kindled into a smile, and
she whispered: "Yon never said SO
