People Will Talk.

We may 20 through this world, bu
twill be very slow,
II we listen to all that is said as ",
go:
Wen be worried and fretted and KEEP
IN a stew.
For meddlesome tongues must hav,
something to do
For people will talk, you know.
If quiet and modest, you'll have il
presumed
That your humble position is only
assumed.
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, OF
else you're a fool;
But don't get excited, keep perfectly
cool
For people VII talk you know
If generous and noble, they'll vent out
their spleen.
You'll hear some loud hints that YOU
are selfish and mean
If upright and honest and fair as the
day.
They'll call you a rogue in sly, sneak
ing way
For people will talk, YOU know
And then. if YOU show the least bolduess
OF heart,
Or a slight inclination 20 take Won own
part.
They'll call you an ups,ert, conceited
and vain,
But keep straight ahead dom, stop to
explain
For people viii talk, Won kaos
II threadharc yoar coat or oil asnonci
your hat,
Some one. OF coarse. will take SO .ce
OF that.
And hint very strong that you can't
pay your way;
But don't get excite whatever they
say
For people will ta.S, you know.

Some Good Pointers.

The cattlemen of Midland, Tex
as, put up a $4,000 gin plant to
encourage farmers in that region
TO grow cotton.
Peace in Korea and Manchuria
calls for more cotton shifting made
of the South's cotton. The market
feels this already.
If Southern farmers are willing
to check the movement of new cot
ton toward the markets even a lit
tie bit the price would go up at
once.
The opening of the Dallas State
Fair has been postponed until Oc-
tober rs, at the suggestion of Gov
ernor Lanham and State Health
Officer DIR. Tabor.
Thousands of tons of hay are
being thrown on the markets now
at So and S. that will be wanted
in those same neighborhoods within
90 days at $40 and S12.
Having calculated the best thing
to be done with cotton seed many
farmers throw the fat into the fire
by selling seed cotton at the gin.
1t is safe to assume that the gin
men will not object to a plan which
gives him 20 points advantage
over the seller. 1t is a dollar a bale
for the ginner. Farm and Ranch.
One of the skiffs in attempting
TO cross the river last night with 4
load OF passengers somewhat larger
than usual was stranded on sand
bar near the middle OF the stream
and could not be moved until an
other skiff came and relieved it of
a part of its load. LAREDO Times.
If you don't think advertising
in THE HERALD pays, look at the
large crowds that are attending the
gigantic sale at J. L. Moore's.
This is a good object lesson TO the
merchants of Brownsville who do
not tell through THE HERALD what
they have for sale.

account of his inability to be
present from sickness. Cover
nor Vardaman commissioned
j. @. Robins, ESQ.,, Of the local
bar, who held the court at Boone
vile where he made a
splendid record as a judge.
j u d G e Ro bins charge
to the grand jury was an elo
quent and fcrceful plea for the
enforcement of the law and to
this grand inquest he n-ade a
strong appeal as the initiative
body in starting the machinery
of the law for the punishment of
crime, to do their full duty, leav-
ing no violator unpresented
where the evidence before them
warranted an Indictment. He
took up seriatim the matters up
on which he informed the jury it
was their special duty to look in
to and urged them to be diligent
and ferret out all violations.
Good Roads.
In the matter Of public roads
now attracting the attention of
the county Judge Robins took
occasion to pay his respects
to the overseers who were so Of
ten derelict in their duties and
made reports that their links
were in good condition when in
fact but little work had been
done upon them. An overseer
who made such report and had
not worked the full time required
by law when the road was in
poor coudition should be indicted
and punished as the law directs.
CIGAR AND CIGARETTES TO MINORS
~ I =
A frequent violation of a stat
ute was the sale of cigars and
cigarettes to minors. This was
denominated one of the most in
excusable infractions as it was
injurious to the boys to use to-
bacco in any form and especially
so to smoke cigarettes, which
dulled the intellect, warped the
moral character, destroyed the
energy and made a wreck of
many bright boys and young
men. The violator of this stat
ute was denominated an enemy
to society and deserved the Sc
verest punishment.
DUTIES OF THE OFFICERS.
Beginning with the bailiff, the
special duties provided by the
| law for all the county officers
were gone over and the grand
jury charged to look into any
failure to perform on the part of
any officer the duties pertaining

NEW COURT HOUSE.
The court complimented and
congratulated the county upon
having such a magnificent court
house, and especially upon the
/ fact that the building had been
erected and paid for without the
least suggestion Of the prevail
ing evil in public matters of this
kind, graft, having entered into
the contract. He complimented
the board Of supervisors for their
magnificent work.
PAYMENT OF TAXES
! The matter of some people Civ
ing in their property for taxation
received attention at the hands
of the Judge. He said that the
law provided that a man should
swear to his valuation of his
property, and where he swears
falsely he fails to do his duty to
his state and county and should
be punished as the law directs.
The giving in Of property at its
true value was the correct way,
and when a man did so he did his

HEDEMANN SAYS
TOO MUCH POLITICS

Hawaiian sugar planters are now in
better shape financially than they have
been for years." said C. Hedemann, a
prominent citizen of Honolulu, last night
at the Kenyon. For a long period they
have been putting all their money in
improved machinery and enlarging their
land holdings. The result is that the
Hawaiian Islands are now the acknowl-
edged largest and best sugar producers
of the world.
However, the labor question has not
yet been satisfactorily settled. After
annexation, we, of course, came under
the Chinese exclusion law. This caused
an influx of Japanese labor, but the
Japs in nearly every case simply used
| the islands as a stepping stone, and
left for the Coast as soon as they saved
up enough money. Efforts are being
made by the planters to provide at
tractive homesteads for their laborers,
and We hope this plan will induce them
to remain.
"One of our mills has a capacity OF
handling $500 tons of sugar cane a day
This is the largest plant In the world
There is entirely too much politics on
the islands. The population is about
100000, of which about 10000 are white
people, and the result is a constant
friction between the natives, who be-
lieve in home or native rule, and the
whites, who have different views.-Salt
Lake Tribune.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1905-12-08

II you can recommend In your Mes
sage Legislation by which Hawaii w,il
be placed on a footing more nearly TO
that OF Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, with whom she must cotnpete
ana thus to tome extent be relieved
Of contributing to the general support
by applying the revenues taken from
these small. distant Islands toward
their own development and defenses. #
would be fine and come nearer a solu-
tion of the problm than anything else.
The American people have ever been
Jealous to provide literally for educa-
tion. Hawaii can tax her people no
higher. and her current revenues are
insufficient, so that she is Obliged to
borrow the money with which to build
her schools. II the people of the Unit
ed States only knew how we are strug-
CLING to supply teachers and buildings
for the natural increase Of children, and
the wretched structures we are Obliged
to use, they would am sure, willingly
forego the money they are now taking
out of the Territory and apply 1t TO
educational purposes alone.
My suggestion goes further. We
here in Hawaii are anxious that the
defenses of these islands be strengthen
ed so that they can by no chance ever
be source of weakness; and after a
reasonable provision has been made for
educational and other public buildings
no wiser expenditure could be made
than applying the revenue taken out of
the islands toward their own defenses
1 only wish 1 had the ability to pic
ture our conditions and make our needs
known, for Notwithstanding we are so
small and insignificant, yet I feel GER
tain these islands can be made a
source of great pride and reflect much
credit on our country.
Very sincerely yours,
G. r. CARTER,
Governor.
