night for the purpose of organization
and incorporate and when the meet
ing adjourned E. Faxon Bishop had
been chosen as first president of the
club.
AT the opening of last nights pro-
ceedings, E. r. Adams was appointed
temporary chairman and Clinton j.
Hutchins temporary secretary.
The chair proceeded to read the COM
mittee's report, which was as follows:
The history of the movement toward
the organization of a country club in
Honolulu dates back nearly two years,
when a self-appointed committee visit
ed the lands known as Waolani valley
for the purpose of investigating it's
feasibility as site for such an or
ganization. This committee found the
land to be SO splendidly adapted for
the purpose that overtures were made
to the owners of the property for
lease with an option of purchase and
finally an agreement was reached and
a lease secured which lease bears date
of October 2, 1905, and runs for a period
of twenty years, at an annual rental
of 5000.
At the time this lease arrived the
committee was assured of an option
to purchase within five years for $24 600.
and the owners were willing to accept
$4,000 cash and allow $4,000 to stand
as a mortgage on the property for an
indefinite period said mortgage to
bear per cent. interest. AS the land
covers an area of approximately 800
acres with at least 75 acres peculiarly
adapted for our purposes, this was con-
sidered a reasonable price. The lease
was made in the name of Wade War
rem sThayer, Esquire, as lessee and
has remained uneXecuted to the pres
ent time
Several gentlemen who We're ap-
preached on the subject of organizing
a country club to be located on this
property, claimed that it was insult
able for the purpose on account of be-
ing boggy and swampy and refused
to interest themselves in furthering
the organization. In order to thor
oughly investigate these statements,
committee of five consisting of Mr..
E. r. Adams Mr.. ]. d. McInerny, DR..
c. r. High, Mr.. C. S. Holloway and
Mr.. O. l. Sorenson was requested to
make a thorough investigation of the
land and make a report upon the same.
This committee visited the property
and after careful and thorough exam
ina ton pronounced it to be in every
way suitable for the uses and pur-
poses of the club, finding the land dry
and the location in every way adapted

BODY BLOW

low TransIating Graft
Was Knocked
Out.

There begin to be some signs of a
shift in the struggle in the political
underworld over the nomination for
Delegate to Congress. A week ago. it
was all Kuhio and the rest nowhere
Then Link McCandless openly SHE'D his
castor into the ring. with the string
on it that the planters and the busi-
ness men had to agree to his candi-
dacy-and at about the same time it
was made to appear that Kuhio was
primarily responsible for the passage
of that bill in Congress which gives
Hawaii s3O.0Uv TO uay its legislative ex-
penses-and in effect cuts out the
translating and interpreting graft if
the thirty thousand is to be secured.
And a more fragrant case of treason
than that, the cafe au lait statesmen
had never fallen over in all their lives.
1t is one thing for the Delegate to
break promise to Alex. Robertson and
Governor Carter, you understand. None
of his true friends would hold real
statesman for a little pecadillo like
promise breaking, any more than they
hold Sheriff Brown for his promise
breaking with Clarence Crabbe.

is another thing when Kuhio aims
a oody blow like that thirty thousand
dollar bill at the persons of his dear
friends-and delivers it! Why. think
of it, Thirty thousand dollars, and
not a cent of it to go to a man be-
cause he is more or less of an expert
In The hawaiian tongue, and can write
wide lines on a typewriter! Was ever
there a case of more shameless be-
trayal of confidence? No wonder Alex.
Robertson is looking particularly wise
these days. and Link McCandless keeps
down that shrill small voice from ka-
neohe as he smiles and smiles and looks
at the seven brownstone front stores
on King street, every one of them rent
ed. There is promise of more things
than rental in that thirty thousand dol

New York World (dem.).
Mr. Roosevelt would be more than human
II he could conceal his elation over the
achievements of a congress that has evil
denced almost Photographic fidelity to the
wishes of the president. The sentiment of
the country is undoubtedly in accord with
him in praising congress- for what 1t has
done-concerning which Mr.. Roosevelt
might say, IAN OF which saw and a great
part of which I was"
But the president in his exultant procls-
nation was restrained by modesty perhaps
from calling attention to what historians
are likely to regard as the best work of
his administration-not legislation, but the
progress made in enforcing laws already
on the statute books.
Congress has for twenty years been max
ing laws to restrain organized wealth and
will be passing new laws along the same
lines for decades to come. but Mr.. Roose-
welt is the first president to make a con-
siderable progress in the matter OF en-
forcing this legislation.

THE APPROPRIATIONS.

The fascination OF mere bigness is
such in this country that the first i'm
pulse Of many is to credit and almost
to welcome the current newspaper af-
firmation of "a billion dollar appro-
priation." 1t is an untrue statement,
however, and grossly misrepresents the
facts. 1t is true that the total appro-
priations at the late session are very
large. footing up $ssO,1SS,S01, but of

the VOICE or DOUGLAS COUNTY.

THE VOICE or DOUGLAS COUNTY.
Douglas county has spoken and in
no uncertain terms. II has instructed
its delegation to the republican state
convention for Edward Rosewater for
United States senator by electing the
solid Rosewater delegation. Although
IL was freely predicted that the dele
cation was sure to be divided as a re-
suit of fractional opposition fortified
with the rotation ballot the lowest
man on the Rosewater ticket has
nearly 1 200 votes more than the high
eat man Of the opposition, so that there
can be no dispute or cavil.
The result is more signal even than
II appears on the surface.
No one not actually in touch with
the conditions presented by the 'ro-
tation" ballot can appreciate the diff
ficulties and Instructions set in the
way of a full expression Of the will of
the rank and file of the party. That
nearly 1000 voters should have over
come these obstacles and asserted their
rights in spite of all hindrance testifles
to the determination and loyalty of
Douglas county republicans. That of
those voting two-thirds have recorded
themselves for the Rosewater list OF
delegates from top to bottom. to be
sure that every one of the eighty-three
votes allotted to this county in the re-
publican state convention be cast for
their preferred candidate for senator,
is proof positive that the sentiment
for Mr.. Rosewater for senator in
Douglas county is overwhelming and
widespread. Had the primary cleo
ton been conducted so that the aver
age voter could register his choice
with reasonable ease and precision, the
vote would beyond question have been
half again as large and the preponder-
ant majority for the Rosewater dele
cation still further emphasized.
The result is notice to republicans
throughout Nebraska that Douglas
county will present and give solid
backing to the candidacy of Mr.. Rose
water for the conventions endorse
ment and that no other Omaha candi-
dOte will have any following in the
delegation. While this was practically
assured in advance, republicans else
where may now proceed with precise
knowledge of this situation and will
without doubt be strongly impressed
by II.

CHANCE FOR PURE FOOD.
Effective Checks on AdulteratiOn Pro,
vided by Law.

New York Tribune.
The pure food law as finally enacted com.
bines many of the best features of the sen.
ate and house measures and eliminates
most of the loopholes to which attention
was called while the question was under
discussion. The house provision is adopted
adding cocaine. heroin, chloroform. choral
hydrate, acetanilid and some other sub
stances TO the senates list Of ingredients
of remedies the quantities OF which must
be stated on the label AS the senate re-
quired this statement only concerning al
cohol and opium and it's derivatives, a great
improvement in the bill passed as a safe
guard against the stimulation OF drug hab-
its is evident. At the same time the house
amendment, which, while making this ad-
vance, left open the door to the use Of al
cohol in patent medicines by allowing It to
be present without declaration in the
quantities regularly prescribed as a solvent
or preservatlve is eliminated After this
legislation becomes effective, therefore, the
use of these drugs even in the minutest
quantityIin patent medicines must be made
public.
All drugs, under this law, must conform
to the standard of the pharmacopoeia, or
else be plainly labeled as of different
standard, and they will be regarded as
misbranded II any statement concerning
their character is false. Food products
will also be considered as misbranded If
any false statement is made upon the pack
age as to their character or place of origin,
or any misstatement TO their weight.
Some criticism has been made of the elm
nation from the act of the house provision
that the secretary of agriculture should de-
termine standards for various articles. and
that on application of the manufacturer an
article complying with the standard might
bear the label, United States Standard"
We doubt, however. II this is really a dis
advantage. The act itself prescribes the
standards and calls upon the Department
Of Agriculture to make analyses and order
the prosecution of all who fail TO observe
