them rented!'
The shrill small voice of the Sage Of
Kaneohe rose pierchingly above the
din of Chinatown I'm harmonious accord
with the strident notes OF the orches-
ira in the japanese theater over
against Aala Park as Senator L. l.
McCandless stood at the mauka cor
ner of King and River streets in
charmed contemplation of his hand
some brownstone front row across the
way
oh politics!" he said, being inter-
rupted in his rhapsody. Il suppose II
is beginning to warm up little. Some
of the fellows are warming up little,
anyhow. l am improving the Fifth
District, myself. And l think that
row across there is a long way ahead
of a hole in the ground. Remember
the hole in the ground that used to
be on that corner?
"Will | be a candidate for Congress?
Well, I'll tell you. The planters and
the business men of Honolulu Will
name the candidate for Delegate.
What would be the use of me getting
in and scrambling for a nomination?
i
and the business men feel. If they
will support me, then l will be can
didate. If they are for Kuhio, that
ends 1t.
ENOUGH OF KUHIO.
"The planters and the business men
will have the say. If they are for me,
/ will be in the race. If l am not
good enough for them, let them name
some other man, and / will support
him fully and freely.
But Kuhio should not be sent there
again. That is sure"
And then the Senator resumed his
admiring contemplation of those seven
stores with brownstone fronts, every
one of them rented. 1t was. on the
whole, perhaps, more profitable to con-
template than any political prospect.
Rents are sure-especially when paid
in advance. And politics! Well, ask
the bad Mr.. Achi or the good Mr.. Jim
quinn.
And that brings the tale around
again to that little Lane Sunday school
class, which has come out once more
and announced it's own political purity
I i'm the organ of the entirely good and
pure. Really, If the little Lane chaps
have fault, it is that they do pro-
test too much. Fancy Charley Clarke
/ standing on the street corners and
telling perspiring crowd of charmed
and enthusiastic admirers how good
he is! When everybody knows, too!
MOILIILI MEETING.
The little Lane chaps by the way
hal 10 10
out Moiliili way. Perhaps it was not
| last Sunday, but it was somewhere
along about that time, And that Is
getting dangerously close to Mr.. Gears
Zoo, for that kind of people. They
should remember the fate of the Ze'
/ brula of sacred memory.
Maybe they only went out to Moilil
/ because they wanted to hold their ex'
! ercises, and sing their hymns in som'
retired spot, far away from the palms
that droop and fade along the Cunhi
alley. That alley is getting to be too
darned popular for a meeting place
for politicians who went TO go molinl
around for virtue in the dark, wher
nobody is noticing, letting neither thei
left hands nor their left feet know
what their right hands and feet ar
doing.
Maybe they are like Missouri rive
catfish, preferrng dark and murk.
places. However II may be, or what
ever the motive. the little Lane chap
did meet at Moiliili, and the meeting
is said to have been marked a shining
success. The wicked Mr.. Achi has no
even heard of il yet.
Whether Sam johnson has heard @
IT, is another question, Sam used I
have a jackass corral out Moiliili way
and If that corral is there now il
likely that its occupants have toll
Sam about the gathering of the othe
ones.
ASTUTE MIR. VIDA.
They We're saying around the Fish
market late yesterday afternoon tina
Henry Vida had been reading the Ad
vertiser and had detected the motiv
of Sheriff Brown in asking Ned Crabb
to resign from the police force. 1t /
a mighty queer thing, If 1t is true
, 1t is not doubted that Mr. Vida ca
read, to be sure nor that any ordinar
man could have detected the Sheriff
motive without even the Advertiser I
help him out. But Henry is detec
tive! That is different.
The Sheriff's explanation of tina
Crabbe incident, by the way, is abou
as funny as anything that has hap
pened In Honolulu for a long time,
1t is but natural" the sheriff
quoted as saying, that Crabbe shoul
want to work for his father for Sher
IN. To do this he viii necessarily hav
to discredlt me-"
Now what do You think Of that?
Ned Crahhe attempt To dare 10 line u
