The assets of the Society are intact,
and / have gone carefully over the
lists of the securities in which they
are invested, and they are of the high
est order of excellence. The Society
has for a long time been popularity
known as ~ Strongest in the World, -
and it continues to deserve that title,
for its surplus of $50, 794, 269 is larger
than that of any other company, and
It's ratio of assets to liabilities
(124.25Go) is higher than that of the
other companies. For many years the
Society has paid a larger amount in
dividends to policy-holders than any
other company. The following is the
record for the last five years:

BEET SUGAR
IN CALIFORNIA

Col George w. Macfarlane, before
leaving for the coast in the Alameda,
said he had been taken up a great deal
of late with the study of steam culti-
waiting on beet sugar estates on the
coast. He found great interest
awakening in California owing to the
enormous beet yields that are expected
this year. Col. Macfarlane said the
crops will probably show double the
yield of former years, notable on the
Union Sugar Company and the Oxnard
Sugar Company's estates in Southern
California.

No FhVORS FOR
ARMY CARGOtS

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The War
Department is in quandary over the
failure to obtain bids for the Transport
tation of freight from Pacific Coast
port to Manila. Last year the Pacific
steamship companies made satisfying
rates for the carrying of government
freight to Manila This afforded some
of the critics of the army transport
system an opportunity to make COM
parison of cost to the detriment of the
army transport and in favor of the
contract system for freight and passen-
gers.
Lately the Pacific liners found it inn
possible to take a cargo to Manila, and
one of the transports held in ordinary
was placed on the active list for the
purpose. With the failure of the
steamship companies to send a bid to
Washington it is evident that they de-
sire to- place the government on the
same footing as commercial shippers.

company, the surplus continues to IN
crease.
IN view of the facts. it would be I'M
fortunate if any OF your clients, under
q Eastv impulse or on the strength OF
exaggerated rumors, should think OF
surrendering their policies. The So
cietv has no wish to profit by lapsed or
surrendered contracts, and we should
deprecate any attempt made TO deprive
them of benefits to which they arc
iusrly entitled The management of
the Society, as you know, has been con
spicuousIv successful, and | call your
attention TO the record of this manage
ment in our latest prospectus, entitled
.. Growth and Present Condition of the
Equitable society," The policy-holders
are the beneficial owners of the assets
and surplus and as the Society was
organized for their protection and adj
vantage. they may rest assured that
this protection and advantage will con
tinue for all time, and that they may
Justly regard their policies as among
the most valuable assets they possess.
Very truly yours,

SMALL FARM EXPECTATIONS.

Ben Koontz, the small farmer of
Waimea. who is in town, is san
guine of success in his new venture as
a homesteader on the Waimea plains.
He has a ten acre lot, upon which he
is erecting a residence and on which
he proposed to cultivate corn, potatoes
and other garden vegetables. He says
that anything can be grown on the
Waimea plains and he has no fear of
the cut worm, which has been such a
pest in the past.-Hilo Tribune.

day is ended to do so. That is, Clerk
auckland of the Territorial Secretary's
Office will accept nomination papers
for filing up to five o'clock this after
noon. There is a technical point here,
however, because the claim is made
that papers cannot be filed after the
noon hour. And so, if a candidate

will take no chances

Ny Dear Sir: 1t is a fortunate cir

You have been given every facility
for looking into the Society's affairs.
and YOU are now in a position fully
to reassure your friends in Hawan
who have invested in Equitable poll
cies.
You can explain that there is, and
can be, no question as to the great
financial strength and prosperous con-
dition of the Society. \ reform in the
interests of policy-holders has been in
augurated, and it is true that con
/ troversv has resulted. and that some
obstacles have been encountered. 1t Is
also true that MANY sensational and
altogether misleading newspaper arti-
i cles have clouded the Issue in the
minds of those who are not fully IN

holders.

ADDRESS TO VOTERS.
Dear Sir:
The Republican County Committee
wishes to call your attention to the
following facts in regard to the cleo
ton to be held on June goth, for Off
GERS under the County Act:
First: The candidates of the Repub--
hcan party We're chosen at a conven-
ton made up of a hundred and forty
six delegates, selected for that purposeJ
at a primary election in which over
two thousand voters participated.
These gentlemen were the majority
choice of that convention, a convention
made up of representative citizens of
this Island.
Second: These candidates represent
the only party that, believing in the
p+rIn of Ia oil
It's candidates, appeals to the people
through its primaries open to all citi-
zens who believe IN the principles of
the party, and allow them to decide
who their candidates shall be-
Third: All of these gentlemen not
only stand as supporting the pripci
pies and platform of the Territorial
Republican organization, but also a
platform endorsing economy and good
government and endorse the policy OF
President Roosevelt and of Governor
Carter and the Territorial administra-
ton.
Opposed is nondescript sO-called
q fusion - ticket, which is selected by
a number of self-appointed delegates
not pledged to the people, nor in any
way representing them. The sO-called
fusion candidates stand for nothing eX
cept their individual responsibility
and represent nothing except them
selves. Under these circumstances
and in view of the fact that the Re
publican party enacted the County Bill
and only under its wise management
can the same be made a good and com
petent government, satisfactory to all
taxpayers and citizens, you are earn
estly requested to support the entire
ticket to which the Republican party
stands pledged by its convention and
primary election.
Yours truly.

The Executive Committee of the
County Committee yesterday received
enthusiastic reports of the reception
met by the candidates who are tour
ing the island. 1t was said that the
promise of success was everywhere, ana
that all things were going on swim
mingly. Which Is a different condition
from that presented in Honolulu. The
candidates viii be at Waialua at 7:3O
today.
The committee announces the follow
ing speakers for the Saturday night
mass meeting at Aala Park: Hon. ku-
hio Kalanianaole. Senator 7. c. Lane,

QUINN MAKES A SPEECH.

Candidate Quinn, who is furnishing
a good many of the sensations of this
campaign, went up to Pauoa on Thurs
day night, and made speech to about
twenty voters there. eff you do not

Quinn is renorted to have said, "'not
man of you will get a job on the
roads,

disgust, in relating this incident. And,
indeed, it was not altogether a dis
Greet thing to say. For, of course,
while everybody understands that the
road jobs are a powerful influence in
politics, it is not deemed exactly good
form to say so right out that way.
All the same. and in spite of all bad

THE SALARY QUESTION.

And then, another interesting ques-
ton comes up. For who is to say what
the salary of the Sheriff of Oahu will
be, or whether he is to get any salary?
1t is true that the salary was fixed
by the County Act, but has the legis-
lature the right To appropriate money
to pay county salary? And, if the
legislature has not appropriated money
and it has not, for the act merely
fixes the saIary-has the Board of Su-
pervisors the right to do it? These
are matters for lawyers-but an emf
nent lawyer said Yesterday that there
was at least a doubt whether the Sher-
iff of Oahu would receive any pay at
all. That does not affect Henry. whose
salary as High Sheriff is fixed under
the Organic Act, but where would it
leave Brown? And, if he is not run
ming for the place for the salary there
Is in it, what is he running for? Is
that old story that he did not want
the job, but merely a vindication. and
that he would resign if elected. a true
tale, after all? 1t will be remembered
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-06-10
IS PoEPoE OUT OF 1T?

The failure of Poepoe to file his
papers has led to a new crop of ru-
mors concerning his position in the
race. 1t was said yesterday, with
great particularly, that he would not
be. 1t was even said that he had found
it to his advantage not to be. And the
sum was mentioned. But there is no
proof of this, absolutely, and nothing
of the failure TO file his papers. There
might be a hundred good rea sons for
that
1t will be remembered that a story
was current several days ago to the
effect that an offer had been made to
Poepoe. The amount was mentioned
then, too, but no effort was made to
follow up the story. Anyway, there
was no formal withdrawal of the flu
sion nominee, and he has since spoken
at several meetings, notably at one
held at AaIa Park on Thursday night.
AS to where the money was to come
from, that is another story. 1t is true
that the Republican campaign collec-
tors did not meet with shining success
among the merchants, although Arthur
Brown himself was on the collection
committee. In fact, it was currently
reported that the committee had Sc
cured only $500, although it was
doubtless more than that. But there
is a large element among the Chinese
who have an interest in the present
political situation and-well it is an
element that is willing to pay and an
interest that is currently reported to
be well worth paying for. And that
would give a campaign fund.
Incidentally, it may be noted that ex-
Detective McDuffie has resigned his po-
sition as special policeman at Waipahu,
and moved into town. And that means
what it means. But the clans are
e9 herring
