European royalties are nearly all
large investors in American securities.
Railway stocks are the favorites. The
czar has some $6, 900, 900 in Pennsyl-
vania, New York Central and other
roads. Emperor William, the kaiser
in and their sons own together about
Sc, 900, 900 of the same gilt edge
shares. Queen Victoria derived $780,
900 annually from railways and in
dustrials. King Edwards American
friends have long been putting him
next to many good things in the
stock market. King Leopold scans the
American list anxiously every morning
and is regular student of American
financial journals. He is big buyer
of railway shares and eastern mining
stocks. Queen Christian of Spain has
for years held $4,000, 900 worth of
United States treasury bonds, which
she was too wise to sacrifice to senti-
ment during the Spanish American
war. The queen of Holland has trans
ferred her fathers large investment in
Standard Oil to American railway
stocks.
But the luckiest speculator in
Americans" is said to be King George
of Greece. This sovereign, who was
a sailor in the Danish navy when
elected to the impecunious Greek
throne, began his present immense
fortune by happy deal in grain on
the Chicago board of trade at the
time of the war between Russia and
Turkey 2S years ago. Through his
agents in this country he then cleaned
up more than million, which has
since been multiplied many times by
sccuessful buying of American rail-
! way stocks.
The list might be made much long
er. 1t is remarkable showing.
With all the European fear of Repub-
licanism, which is constantly throw
ing every court into spasms of terror,
the royalties thus pass unanimous
| vote of confidence in American insti-
tuitons, laws and business enterprise.
So uneasy are the majority of these
monarchs ON their thrones that they
do not dare keep their securities in
any bank or safety vault within their
realms. but in almost every case de-
posit them with the bank Of England.
This is another tribute to Anglo.
Saxon regard for law aud order.
Here is pretty good evidence that
the long enjoyment Of free speech and
| free government among the English
speaking people has built broad and
stable foundation for commercial and
social prosperity,

ATHENA, JUNE :. 80. 6. 1905

On the basis of the governments re-
port on acreage and condition, the
winter wheat crop of 1905 will amount
to 46O, 100000 bushels. This is far
larger than any crop gathered along
to this time. The winter wheat yield
of;19O4 was 33s, 100000 bushels and
that of 1908 was 100000, 900. The
largest wheat crop ever harvested to
the present day was in 1902, which
was All 900, 900 bushels, or 40, 900, 900
under that promised for this year.
From the present outlook the aggre-
gate wheat yield of 1905 will break
all records. The condition of spring
wheat, despite the backward weather
throughout much of the producing
states, is fully up to the average of
recent years. The aggregate wheat
harvest of the past few years was 74S-
600, 900 bushels in 1901, $40, 900, 900
in 1902, 637, 900, 900 in 1908 and 552,-
900, 900 in 1904. The winter wheat
outlook is SO much better this year
than ever before there is chance
that 1901's harvest, which was the
highest record, will be beaten in the
nraaent vear All the Indications
promise a new highest" for 1905
in the wheat roundup. Wheat is not
the most valuable of the country's
grain crops. Corn has that distinc-
tion. The value of the 1904 yield of
wheat, as estimated on the farm by
the department of agriculture for De-
cember of that year, was 1910, ,000,-
900, while the corn crop was worth
$1,087, ,000, ,000,at that date.

SUNDAY LAWS.
portland Telegram. J

The action of Governor Folk, of
Missouri, in closing the saloons of st.
Louis on Sunday, and the action of
the restaurant keepers in closing their
places of business out of sympathy for
the saloon keepers, opens up once
more the question Of Sunday legisla-
tion
Strange as it may seem, the strict
observance of Sunday as a day in
which men must be careful not to
enjoy themselves too we'll is compara-
lively modern. Even John Calvin,
stern as he was in theology, had little
superstition bearing on this day. Mar
tin Luther openly advocated using the
day for good time, and his sentiment
was one which had been learned
while in the mother church.
The movement to make Sunday a
day of strict observance was born of
the Puritans, though there may have
been small sects, or individual men
before their time who advocated such
observances. But we may place the

J. Pluvius is no respector of local
tiles when he has a chance to drench
a crowd of picnickers. Apparently he
takes as much delight in sprinkling the
grey hairs Of the hardy pioneer as he
does in dampening the locks of the
bonny Scot. There was no Caledonian
picnic in Athena this year, so the rain
maker placed his hand over the sun
and drenched the pioneers at Weston.
Despite Jupiter's efforts to keep people
away, the annual picnic of the Una
t3lla County Pioneers at Weston was a
success The program which was one
of the most interesting and complete
in the history of the association, was
rendered before large and appreciative
audiences, and Saturday afternoon the
town was taxed to its utmost capacity
to accommodate the visitors.

Any propelled vehicle is at a
disadvantage compared with horse
drawn vehicle when it comes to a
muddy road. This was demonstrated
afresh in the run of the Eastern auto
mobilists to st. Louis. A motor car
will stick helplessly and hopelessly in
mud through which horses would haul
a wagon with comparative ease.
Horses have purchase on the ground
beneath the mud; the driving wheels
of the motor car revolve Intellectually
and the machinery becomes clogged
with mud. This is evidently the weak
spot in the horseless vehicle PROPOSE
tion. Whether the ingenuity and skill
which are now being exercised in the
development of automobiles will find
a remedy for the mud evil remains to
be seen II not, the motor car must
remain fair weather vshicle-in
other words, plaything rather than
a practical utility.

main responsibility on the Puritans.
The Puritans originally were mem
bers of the Church of England, who
desired to see the spirit of religion, as
they understood it, the dominant fac
tor in human life. They did not be-
lieve that man should be religious
one day and irreligious during the rest
of the week. They thought that re-
hgion and life went together, or
should go together, hand in hand. 1t
was noble idea, and in the early
days Of the movement the Puritan
church had much to commend it.
Men like Edmund Spencer and John
Milton were not bigots They did not
believe in making this life vale Of
tears. A careful reading of Milton's
prose will reveal that in some respects
at least he was not only ahead of his
time, but that he was ahead of our
time. But Puritanism began to hard
en-, and at last it became the narrow,
intolerant thing which people are more
or less familiar with through common
report.
Religion and life must now go hand
in hand, but people must feel that
pleasure in life is displeasing to God.
And so the theatre and music, the
playing of games, the dance and half
hundred other things were stamped
as wrong. It was sin to read novels
even. And poetry, too, came under
the ban. To make life as disagreeable
as possible, Sunday laws were insti-
tuted to make this day the gloomiest
of the week, though the rest of the
days were bad enough. On Sunday
a man was allowed to breathe, and
he was compelled to go to church.
And these two things-breathing and
churchgoing-were about the only
things it was permissible for a man
to do on this day. It was sin for a
man to take walk or do anything for
pleasure; sinful even il he did moth
ing more than look ON green field or
kiss his wife on that day. Laws for
the observance of Sunday were made
stringent, and were vigorously en-
| forced.
The people of our time have out
grown much of the intolerance, much
of the fanaticism of these early Puri-
tans. Sunday is more nationally re-
garded everywhere. Nevertheless,
every Sunday law ON the statute book,
and every demand that it made in
favor of closing up saloons and places
| of amusement on this day, are echoes
of that oldtime sentiment that Sunday
is too holy day for man to enjoy
himself in.
No man may bring forward any
logical reason for strict observance
of Sunday. Sunday is not the Sab
bath that the Old Testament COM
mands that the Jews shall keep holy,
That day was our Saturday. There il
nothing in advocacy of Sunday laws
or Sunday observance to be found IL
the Bible. 1t was originally Pagan
day, day in honor of the sun-god ant
the Christians adopted it. as they
adopted a good many other Pagar
things, for the reason that the1
followed the lines of least resistance
But the time has come for men t.
know the truth about Sunday. 1t il

otry and often the unscrupulous fero

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-08-18

The Dan Vida assault and battery
case, which has become famous now
for the number of continuances it has
received in the police court, was side
tracked this afternoon again and the
details of the now famous attack on
Frank Kruger were once more stilled
from the public ear. There were plenty
of people waiting in the court room
this afternoon to hear all of the details
of the trouble. But Judge Humphreys
who appeared as attorney for the de-
fendant, very neatly avoided having
any evidence taken by waving preli-
minary examination for his client who
was accordingly committed to await
the action of the next grand jury.
When the case was called before
Judge Whitney, the court announced
that under Section 1864 of the Revised
Statutes the defendant had the right
to a trial by jury and as such motion
had previously been made the court
would grant it. The statute holds
that wherever defendant asked for

Even now the blanket warrant case
Of the County of Oahu is not ready for
submission to the Supreme Court on
an agreed statement of facts.
AS reported in the Star yesterday,
formal demand for $1425 was made by
electrician Frazee on a warrant au-
thorized to be issued by the Board of
Supervisors for the payment of two
men who had worked for the depart
ment.
Frazee went over yesterday after
noon to make formal demand for the
money with the full expectation that
Treasurer Trent would make his formal
refusal of payment.
But Trent did not refuse in fact he
refused to refuse and he declined to
take any action until he had consulted
his attorneys w. A Kinney and e. M.
Watson Kinney, by the way, is on
Hawaii and will not be back until Sun
day.
Il am completely at a loss to under
stand the Treasurers action" said
County Attorney Douthitt this morn
ing. "It was arranged that a friendly
suit for the proper deciding as to the

a jury tria lin a case where the lower
court could take cognizance, the court
would simply act as a committing ma
gistrate and either discharge the de-
fendant or hold him for trial.
This looked like the case could go to
trial without delay and every body
eagerly looked toward Frank Kruger
the hero of the assault, expecting him
to be called forward to testify against
Vida Judge Humphreys threw a bomb
shell of silence by remarking We'll, in
this event we will waive preliminary
examination"
And so they tried the case no more
that day, except that the court on
motion of Judge Humphreys held the
defendant under a $3.50 bond. At the
request of Judge Humphreys, Vida was
released until tomorrow on the old
bond, when the new bond will be made
out. The evidence in the case against
Vida win now be presented to the next
grand jury and the matter will be
taken up in the higher court, if an in
dictment is found against him.

legality of the issuance of blanket war
rants should be made, he admitted that
the warrant issued to Frazee is along
exactly the same lines as that issued
to Sam Johnson, the one that he held
up, and still he says that he has to
see his solicitors before refusing. He
stated that there might be objections
to payment other than those he first
put forward. 1 pointed out to Trent
that Monday, when Kinney returns to
work will be the 21st so that very lit
tie time will be left to get a decision
and prepare for the payment of the
men at the end Of the month but that
consideration did not seem to have any
weight"
"The matter is a legal one" said
Treasurer Trent when he was asked
for his side of the story. 'If the pay
ment of the country employees is de-
layed, the fault does not rest with me.
1 am not a lawyer and I will neither re-
fuse the warrant nor honor it until my
attorneys have passed on it. I think
that County Attorney Douthitt is un-
reasonable in trying to force me to take
action in this matter without having
the benefit of legal advice"
