come a finished expert in thrust and
parry in parliamentary tactics.
At the Fourteenth Continental Con-
gress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, when Mrs Mclean was
Regent of the New York Chapter, she
assisted in introducing a resolution
looking to the burial of Paul Jones in
Annapolis, Md, that being her native
State Besides having a local pride,
she thought the first naval hero of the
nation should be buried near to the
great naval school
There was tremendous opposition to
the proposition, and the congress voted
to '1ay the resolution on the table" an
expression used in parliamentary pro-
ceedings to defer action on the subject.
Later it was taken up, but the congress
voted against taking the body of the
naval hero to Annapolis and favored
bringing 1t to Washington for burial in
Arlington. Mrs. Mclean has now, how
ever, seen one of her dearest wishes
carried out, and, as head of one Of the
greatest societies of patriotic women
in the world, she was guest of honor
at the recent burial ceremonies of Adj
miral Paul Jones at Annapolis.

OF the society. Judge John Richie
father of Mrs. Mclean, served in Con-
gress and was subsequently elevated to
the bench of the Court of Appeals OF
Maryland. He was an orator of re-
nown, and Mrs. Mclean seems to have
inherited this attribute of her father.
Mrs. McLean's grandfather was
Judge William p. Maulsby, and her
grandmother, Emily Nelson, for whom
was named, was the daughter of
zen. Roger Nelson, who was boy of
. sixteen in college when the Declaration
OF Independence was signed. He ran
away and joined the revolutionary

General for conspicuous bravery on the

Honor at Ceremony.
When the annual convention of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
was in session in Washington a few
weeks ago the meetings were presided
over by Mrs. Donald Mclean. She en-
joyed the unique distinction of being
the first presiding officer of the con-
gress who was not the wife of some
man prominent in official circles. She
had been a candidate for this high
woman's Office for several years, and
the opposition to her election was
plainly stated because she could not
bring to the Office high national
prestige, which the Daughters of the
American Revolution felt was neces-
sary to the varied traditions of the So
ciety.

LAHAINA WITHOUT
ITS WATER SUPPLY

| Lahaina is a dry town.
Information to this effect reached

| wireless. By this it is not to be
thought that the prohibitionists or
local optionists have had a victory
there, but the fact is that Lahaina
town has no water supply
The water was shut off yesterday by

on Maui conducted by the Department
of Education. Therefore. a friendly
contest was arranged between the De-
partment of Education and the De-
partment of Public Works for it's res
toration. The first round took place
yesterday afternoon in the Robins egg
blue room of the Executive building
with Governor carter as referee This
early meeting was had so that. if pos
sible, some arrangement could be made

something to cook with. and last but

1t is an old. old story, thiS question
of water rights and was settled not
SO long ago, so the two departments
thought by an agreement to become
effective June u, 1906 Evidently, the
Department of Education thought the
terms We're not carried out and Laha-
inaluna promptly shut off the water.
Late yesterday afternoon Superinten-
dent Holloway of the Public Works |
and superintendent Bab- |
bitt of the Department of Education
met Governor Carter. Mr.. Babbitt was |
armed with various documents Te!at- |
ing to the matter. Then it was found |
that there was misunderstanding on |
the part of Superintendent Babkitt |
about the agreement. and the result /
was that an order was sent forth per-
hitting Lahaina to have its water
supply again
LahainaIuna will continue TO supply |
town with water until the De- |

arrangements to obtain its own sup
ply.

The foolish talk about the neces-
sity of getting rid of the "political
machine reminds us of the inquis-
tive pupil in certain school. The
teacher was explaining how the hu-
man body undergoes a complete
change once in seven years and
still remains the same body. AT
ter trying for a time to compre-
hend such philosophy, the boy
said, "Suppose I have a jackknife
and lose the blade and have an
other putt in. Is it the same knife o.
"Certainly," said the teacher. eff
I should then lose the handle and
have another one put on would
still have the same old knife %
"Certainly," replied the teacher.
"Then," said the boy, eff I should
find the old blade and the old han
die and have them put together
again which would be the old
knife ?" This incident fittingly il.
lustrates the machine as it exists
in this state today. When Mr..
Pettigrew aud his followers left the
organization the blade of the ma
chine was gone. Later Mr.. Craw-
ford and Mr.. Gamble were 'lost''
and the handle was gone. Now
the old blade and the old handle
have been reunited and the ques-
ton is which is the "machine."

through favor to any one. II tits
true that appropriations Of public
money are being made as favors to
certain localities, then the locali-

1t is said that the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen has joined
the Federation of Labor, and that
the effort will be made to unite the
influence of this organization with
that Of the organized farmers, for
the purpose Of forcing legislation
favorable to working people. Just
how the interests of the farmers
and of the labor unions can be
made to appear identical is not ex-
planned. The Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen are opposed to gov
ernment rate regulation because
they claim, though we believe with
out reason, that the result would
be reduction in their salaries.
The farm ers want such regulation.
Tie Federation of Labor is striv-
ing to increase wages. The far
mers are employers of labor and
many of them declare that they
can not afford to run their farms
with hired help at present prices,
aud find it more profitable to rent
all of their land that they can not
work themselves. The labor un-
ions are consumers of the farmers
product and are interested in re-
ducing the cost Of living as much
as possible. The organized far
mers are endeavoring to increase
the price Of their products as much
as possible. In view of these facts
we fail to see where these organi-
cations can unite on common in
terests.

There are few diseases that in
f1ict more torture than rheuma-

ease for which such a varied and
