Town TALK
BY The Man About Town.

savory Now we have political rum
pus over an A. Perry who is accused
of running for precinct Office in a pre-
cinct where he did not live. 1t must
be hard for Justice A. Perry to read
of the troubles of A. Perry However,
things might be worse. Suppose it
was Silva? There are 81 Sivas in the
directory, and more constantly arriving
There also are GA souzas( but they are
a retiring lot

l saw a Honolulu man meet man
from Maui last Tuesday in the Judi
ciary building and after shaking hands
the Honolulu man asked how political
matters were getting along on Maui.
The Maui man said things We're lively,
who's going to win out?" asked the
Honolulu man. without a moments
hesitation the man from Maui, made
reply me" he said. That's the way
to figure politics." said the Honolulu
man, and that ended the conversation.
Names will be furnished perhaps on
application.

1 think it win be a fine thing * the
Democrats will Illuminate a business
man for delegate to Congress, for if
they do we shall see how strong is the
vote waiting for such a man. In my
opinion it is far stronger than the
average politician thinks,-it is prob
ably strong enough to have warranted
the Republicans i'm making such a no.
mination four years ago, for it is not
at all confined to whites. However, we
shall be able to test the strength of
such a movement if the Democrats can
really find a strong man who is willing
to run. 1t will be an interesting test,
and will have a very important bearing
on future nominations for the office.

Judge Gear says that the next time
he travels on the steamer Mikahala he
will be simply zone deck passenger"
The reason for his decision is a terrible
experience he had on his trip back here
last Wednesday. The judge had a
lower berth, and when the time came
for retiring he proceeded to crawl in.
He got half way in and then stuck
stuck absolutely fast between the up
per and lower hunks. After struggling
a moment, he paused to ponder. Sup
pose I do finally get in" thought the
fat jurist, chow shall I get out?" The
question was not to be answered, and
Judge Gear decided that he had gone
far enough and would retreat. 1t was
easier decided than carried out, for he
had gone too far. In the upper bunk,
a long, thin man who would have had
plenty of room between hunks slept
peacefully while the awful struggle
went on. Gear finally got loose and
after gazing wrathfully at the trap into
which he had so lightly entered he pro-
nounced an eternal boycott upon all
lower berths and spent the rest of the
night in chair.

Circuit Judge Hardy of Kauai is a
wonderful man. He has been on the
bench nearly all his life. and it has
been a long one. The other day, dur
ing the term just ended, one of the at
torneys had occasion to search the files
of the court for an order, signed by a
Kauai circuit judge just fifty years
ago. When the order was found 1t
proved to be dated July 1S56,-and it
bore the signature of Hardy circuit
judge. The lawyer took it and pre-
sented it to the judge, who looked it
over. Yes" he said at once Il re-
member signing that"

The various waterfront men on the
local newspapers have been badly
scooped by the Rev. Serene f. Bishop.
The doctor is an old man and long ago
retired from active journalism, but he
gets there just the same. There was
wrath among the young reporters who
try to do waterfront news last We'd
nesday morning, when they picked up
the Advertiser and saw that DR.. Bishop
had beat them all on the discovery of
the log book of Noah's Ark

Things are looking brighter, in a poll
teal way, for the Robins egg blue
chamber. When Job said 80 that mine
enemy would write a book" he lived
in a less strenuous age, for letters
were not published in daily papers. It
is enough now to wish that an enemy
can only be stirred up to make a big
enough row against Judge Robinson,
Carter will be able to argue to Teddy
that there was something in his OBJ
jections to the judge after all and per-
haps Teddy can be convinced that Car
ter showed a long headed foresight.
Then there is the esteemed A. M.
Brown. The chances appear to be ex-
cellent for him to get the State Depart
ment mixed up with the Japanese gov
eminent in two cases one of which, at
least, is going to be very hard to de-
fend. Again will Carter be able to
say II told you so, Teddy Wasn't I
right in trying to defeat this MANI" o
yes, things are looking bit brighter in
a political way, viewed from the robins
egg blue chamber. Job may soon have
no more need Of his Comforters.
