of Louisiana. The State tax
rate will remain the same, and
the increases in the revenue will
take place just the same whether
the bonds are voted or not. BY
voting the bonds, the people of
the State insure the use of that
much of the revenue increase for
education. If they do not vote
the bonds, the increase will be
left to future legislatures to dis
pose of at their own sweet will.
BY authorizing the bonds, the
people take the disposal of the
money from the politicians and
put it into school houses.
The Herald's ingenious method
of lingering" the cost to the
State of issuing the bonds, by
reckoning the interest for the
next thirty years is being used
by the opponents of the bonds
all over the State. 1t is the last
resort of the happy-hammer
contingent to stifle progress and
dofoat improvements. If the
people of Monroe had listened to
that sort of ''fggering' they
would have had no paved streets,
no light or water plant; Alexan-
dria would have had no light or
water plant, sewerage or paving:
Shreveport would have had no
asphalt streets: New Orleans
would not be putting in a 3d.
OOO, 600 sewerage and drainage
system: Lafayette would have
been without her fine industrial
institute: New iberia would have
had neither market house, paved
streets nor electric light: Jen'
nings would have no town hall,
no drainage, no waterworks.
The American hopes that the
Herald and other papers will
leave this sort of lingering" to
the store box philosophers and
corner grocery economists who
don't want any improvements
anyhow and see a robbery in
every public expenditure. 1t is
not becoming in a newspaper in
good old Louisiana, the most
progressive of the southern
States, to use the back number
style of argument.

Dig Up Some New Arguments.
Lake Charles American.
The Lake Arthur Herald pre-
sents the following figures upon
the proposed school bond issue:
The apportionment which would
be $2,123.77; almost enough to
build one school house large
enough to accommodate the
children of Lake Arthur, but
when divided among the different
precincts, as it must be, only a
very small portion would come
to each one. The interest of
this $2,123.T of bonds will
amount to the amount ward 10
will receive and then add the tax
on the $2.123.77 for twenty-five
years and we will see what it
will cost this ward to vote for
the bond issue"
The American is here to say
that the bond issue will not. cost
the tenth ward or any other
ward one red cent; that they will
not pay a dollar more of taxes if
it is voted, nor a dollar less if it
is defeated.
The bonds, principal and in
terest, are to be paid out of
future increases in the revenue

The Acting Governor has taken q
stand precisely in tune with the
pulse OF the community. There are
an ample number OF citizsDs in tbs
Islands to complete any and all
public works. As soon as the report
got around on Hawsii that citizen
labor could not be found for the
Ookals- Kukaiau road, fifty citizens
of Hsmakua district signed state
ment that they were wiling and
ready to accept the work. II a
sparsely settled district like Hama
kua is prepared to furnish fifty
citizens who are wiling to work on
the roads, what may be expected Of

bet that from SEQ to 500 citizen la.

July %, 1904.
G S Holloway, Esq, Superintendent
Of Public Works, Honolulu.
Sir:-Since debating last letter
which was sent under this same date,
referring to the Whitehouse Ookala.
Kukaiau road contract, beg leave
to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter OF the 10Th inst, enclosing
copy of a letter from G a Gere, in
which the statement is made that
Mr. A Horner had carefully investi-
gated the charge that citizens could
not obtain work on the contract,snd
that no one had been refused work.
From Information which have
and which feel is absolutely relia.
BILE, I must beg to differ with Mr.
Horner of the Hamakua Road
Board 1t is immateFial what mem
bers OF the Road Board say in this
matter. Whatis material Ia tha!
this contract was entered into on
the basis Of citizen labor, aud it ia
now sought to take advantage of
Asiatic labor, which which will no
doubt be benefit TO the contractor
and a loss in wages to citizsns.
There are too many citizsns idle at
| this time all over these Islands to
justify the granting Of the privilege
OF using Asiatic labor on public
work, and should only countenauce
it on very extraordinary occasions.
| The question OF referring the mat
ter to the Road Board for further
action is, no doubt, good idea, but
it does not change my attitude in
the least that the privilege of using
Asiatic labor should be withdraw.
| l do not think Mr. Whi!ehouse
has shown good faith 10 the matter
by having an Asiatic foreman in
charge. Does he mean to state that
there are no citizen lunas who are
available for this work
| In conclusion, / would request
that you kindly take all steps to re-
yoke the privilege which allows Mr.
Whitehouss to use Asistic labor.
/ have the honor to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
ALC ATKINSON,
Acting Governor.

Football Doings.

The football game between the
local team and the Indians played here
last Sunday afternoon was the best
game played on the local gridiron
this season. The addition of Indian
School players together with greater
weight, made the game look as if it
was coming the Indians way for
awhile, but when Luhrs, Bigelow, Nell
son and southworth got. ntofaction
the Indian team looked like six-bits.
The local boys are to play the Car
son Indian School team Thanks
giving day on the the home field, and
in consequence the boys are practic-
ing faithfully. From information at
hand we are lead to believe that the
Indians are in fine shape, so a hotly
contested game may be looked for.
The game played here last year was a
tie, but the boys hope to score at least
once this year.
The small admission fee of 25c will
be charged to pay the expenses of
bringing up the outside team.

that means, many of the rich lodges

water found in ledge indicates that

be found.
From the fact that large deposits of
rich ore are known to exist in the
Mammoth, would give every conf
dence in the belief that with the con-
ditions as now existing at the mine, a
rich deposit in permanent ledge mat
ter would be found.

Bad Business.

Peter Thompson, while working ON
the road near Centerville, narrowly
escaped being struck by bullet fired
from long.range rife Mr.. ,Thomp-
son says that the bullet struck in the
ground about foot from where he
was working. A rifle at all times is
dangerous, and becomes doubly SO
when it is of the long range variety
and in the hands of careless sports
man. Any one handling rifle should
be very careful; promisciously firing
at any object endangers the lives of
those who might be in the path of the
bullet, even though they be several
miles away. By the exercise of care
there is very little danger, but doing
otherwise a tragedy might be enact
ed that would east blight on the en-
tire community.

HOW TURKS MAKE COFFEE.
Ii Isn't Easy, but the Product l. De
lightfnI In It, I'IRvor

To make the perfect cup OF Turkish
coffee Is. like many other things. very
easy when the maker knows how 10
DO IL, bat unless the art has been learn
Ell in Turkey it is difficult.
No one can make q perfect cup OF
coffee unless lie has been TO Turkey.
There Is * much difference between
the. ordinary cup Of coffee and the
exquisite and alluring beverage with
all its subtle aroma rs made by the
artist rs there is between horsehesh
and the best English beef. The Turks
method is simple They have many
little pots Of various sizes. If they
want 10 make two cups only they use
the smaller one. and if three cups 4
larger one. When the water has boiled
they Ill the little pot almost to the top
with water then put in three Jumps
ol sugar and put the pot on the fire TO
boil When il is hot they put in two
teaSpoonfulS of coffee ground very fine
and then stir il round until it is thor
ouShly mixed With the water
The next step is TO place the pot on
the fire again and watch il very care
fully until tho coffee bubbles up To a
froth, ana before this froth escapes
over the side you take the pot from the
fire and tap the bottom gently on the
stove I'LL the froth goes down. once
again The coffee Is allowed TO bubble
over The FIRE and the process Of tap
ping the pot ON the stove is repeated
three times
When the froth rises 10 the surface
Tor the fourth time the pot should be
taken from the fire and the coffee
should De- poured first into one Gun and
then into another 50 shat each cup
contains a portion OF the froth on the
top.
The EngliShmaR cannot make coffee
az all. lie tries hard, but never sue
eeods either in making a perfect cup
Of Turkish or French coffee. The
Frcnchman, on the other hand, also
tries hard to make u perfect cup Of
Turkish coffee. bat he meets with lit
tic more success than the Englishman.
One thing must never be forgotten
The coffee must bc freshly roasted and
ground. u must not be roasted too
black. y dark brown is the ideal color.
Then the flavor is divine. - Boston
