v. ]. BRYAN ON
GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP

Lincoln. Neb.. Aug. 3.-Replylng to the
charges OF critics that he has backed
down on government ownership of rail-
roads. Mr.. Bryans Commoner says:
'In spite OF his very plain language
certain papers have insisted upon misrep-
resenting his position and have persist
emily lodged the issue OF regulation. Now
that MIR. Bryan has pointed out that there
is no disposition on the part OF those who
believe In government ownership TO make
IL an issue in 1908 and that he does not
believe IL wise TO inject the question into
the campaign, these papers insist that It
Is and must be an issue anyhow. But
they will not be permitte dto longer avoid
the discussion OF plans for effective reg
ulation.
"Do these editors believe in regulation
or do they propose 10 leave the public
helpless?
Here are three vital propositions con-
nected with n present Issue. namely, CT
fectivc regulation:
First the ascertaininr Of the value of
the railroads.
Second the preventing Of overcapitai-
ization.
Third. the reduction OF rates 20 a point
where they will yield only a reasonable
return upon tho real value OF the roads"

The Lost level

Life doesn't seem the same to us
Since Freda went away.
We talk about IL every night.
And also every day.
The kitchen seems a cherries place;
We hate to turn the knob
And look into that lonesome waste,
Since Freda yoomped her yob.
We miss our Freda dreadfully;
In fact for her we pine.
Her English was distressing. but
Her breakfast rolls were fine.
And now we sit and think of her,
And in our throats n sob
or sorrow rises at the thought
That Freda yoomped her yob.
She won't come back. She's married how
She thinks she's better of.
Perhaps she is-at any rate,
IL does no good 10 scoff.
But every time we think of her
our sad hearts give a throb.
IL makes difference in our house
Since F'reda yoomped her yob.

The beauties of the past evidently dld
not believe that the best cosmetics lie In
the merry heart that maketh a cheerful
countenance." for they depended very
largely upon artificial aid in the preser-
walton of the complexion
The Empress Poppaeo kept 100 asses to
supply her bath OF milk, says the Spatula.
and always retired with a mask of poul-
tice OF bread and milk upon her at night.
over this a bladder was drawn to exclude
the air. The eyebrows of the Roman
beauty were tipped with black TO resem-
BILE the "ox-eyed Juno; they were decor

fumes. and wore a quantity OF false hair.
or dyed OF their own according to the
prevalent style of the time.
The Greek lady had retnue OF retir-
ing maids who rubbed out the wrinkles
and shaded the face with red and white
paints, tinted her eyelids and annonted
the face with white OF egg and goose
grease to protect IL against the air and
sun. They also had "a recipe TO turn blue
eyes into black.
All through the history of famous wo-
men we find ideas OF the bath as an inn
proven OF the complexion. Isabelle of Ba-
weed poured into hers; Queen Elizabeth
bathed I'm wine; Mary Queen of Scots In
milk: Italian ladies' I'm warm blood; Nine.
Tallien In crushed strawberries and rasp-
berries poured into water: the Empress
Josephine In milk perfumed with violets,
and the beauties OF the 18th century used
such infusions as bouillon In which which
veal had been cooked, rose water and
honey. and Juice of barley mixed with the
yolk OF an egg.
In the time OF Catherine de Medici and
her famous daughter Marguerite OF Va
lois, the face was covered at night with
fine linen cloth dipped In milk. into
which slices OF lemon and orange, with
sugar and alum. had been laid. or into a
distillation of snails and lemons; but the
beauties OF the court OF Charles III or
England went further and applied crude
quicksilver to aheir skin so that new
one might come i'm its plnce,
The Duchess of Newcastle especially
recommended this. Nearly all these fash
ions were derived from Italy. where the
most extravagant toilet arts were prac-
ticed. Nothing frightened the beauty.
Lucretia Borgta Is supposed 20 have been
a brunette. but she dyed her hair any
color she pleased. When she went 10 Fer

while she applied her cosmetics. and she
dyed her hair Ave times during the jour
ney.

POLITICIANS ARE
MILDLY ACTIVE

The meeting of the Republican Ter
ritorfal Central Committee, called to
meet last night in the headquarters of
the party on Merchant street, failed to
materialize. Chairman and National
Committeeman Robertson was there
and Eli Crawford and one or two more,
but a wait of half an hour failed to
increase the attendance to the quorum
point and the attempt was called off.
The County Committee had better
luck yesterday, six of the members
showing up at a noon session. Ac>
cording to one of the six, there was
nothing of any consequence done, the
meeting being merely called to keep
the party spirit alive by allowing the
leaders to commune with each other at
regular stated intervals, so that when
the can came for the primaries to
elect the delegates to the convention to
choose the Hawaiian delegates for Chi
cago. the party organization would be
in working order.

HALF HOLIDAY
FOR POLO CAME
Business Houses Will Close
Doors for TOmerrOW's
Contest.

Once more there has been change
made in the date for the first polo
game between Maui and Oahu. The
date decided on is Wednesday after
noon at o'clock and there will prob-
ably be a record breaking crowd. as
the day will be observed as half
holiday by practically all the larger
business houses of the city.
The move for a half holiday was not
commenced till late in the afternoon,
when the banks and trust companies
were interviewed. They were agreea>
BILE to the suggestion and stated that
they would close at L o'clock. The
next firms interviewed were the whole
sale houses H. Hackfeld & Co., T. H,
Davies & Co, Allen & Robinson, G.
Brewer & Co, Castle & Cooke, NJ.
Phillips & Co, Bishop & Co. and Will
der & Co. all agreed that they would
close and allow their employees to see
the match. The Honolulu Iron Works
win allow their office force to go. E.
n Hail & Son viii be closed, and
among the retailers, Ehlers, Sachs
whitney & Marsh and many others
will probably be closed, though they
have not all been called on by the
members of the polo committee as yet.
The Maui team practised yesterday
and report the grounds as rather sticky
sin. They ought to be in the best or
shane by Wednesday, however, and the
nlav should be fast from the start.
The PLAYERS are all in fine condition, as
are the ponies.

SECRETARY STRAUS
COUNSElS UNITY

Just before leaving this city on the
Asia on his return trip to the Coast,
Secretary Straus commented very
strongly to a local business man on
the lack of uniform action in this, city.
In speaking on the subject he said:
''There is one thing that you people
Of Honolulu need to do. That is to
get together more closely on the diff
ferent thugs which you ask from the
Federal Government. There was very
good illustration of this while / was
here, when the matter of the coastwise
shipping laws was brought up.
"There were two distinct opinions
given, and under these circumstances
what can the government be expected
to do9 IF your local commercial bodies
would take up such matters as this
and take them up directly with the de-
partments from which they desire as

effect than the making of speeches pro
and con, as has been done in this case. =
