According to the unwritten military

Sam hesitated. When he Joined the

A PROTEST AGAINST
kauai FEUDAu|SM

Following is the translation of an
article in A. Liberdade:
I'VE agree. without the slightest re-
strction being placed on our agree
ment, with the article which was pub
lished In the Pacific Advertiser" of
March 20, written because OF the stin-
gy attitude OF some of the represen-
tatives in the Legislature from the is
lands OF Maui and Kauai These gen.
tlemen have elected from the begin
ming to oppose the greater part of the
measures which favor the islands OF
Hawaii and Oahu, In spite of the fact
that the aforementioned measures are
for the benefit of the Territory.
Indignant at such babyish policy
of exclusiveness, the Advertiser brings
to light the known situation of things
which for so many years have held
sway on the island of Kauai, and
which, according to our way OF look
ing at 1t, demands the most severe
measures to counteract the state OF
things which will be an obstruction to
the colonizing of this archipelago.
tHere Is quoted part OF the Adver-
tiser's article).
I'VE cannot, through lack of space,
translate the entire article from the
Advertiser, but we recommend that 1t
be read by all those who are interested
In the welfare of this Territory, and
all of whom we are sure. VIII accord
with the article In the aforementioned
publication. We Portuguese, probably
better than anyone else, can testify
to the truth of these facts. Even in
this occasion when the government is
to sell lands In Kauai, we feel many
doubts that we shall be able to aquire
them, as we are fearful lest they be
turned back absolutely to the COM
pany which up to now has owned
them.
''And In this connection comes this
question: How long will the people of
these islands remain in their profound
sleep? Has the time not arrived to
adopt In Hawaii the same land laws
as New Zealand, levying heavy taxes
upon the vast stretches of lands which
remain uncultiyated? We see no other
way OF forcing the barons to cede the
properties of which they make no use.
ITO our representatives, the advice
OF friend: remember the adages.

pound OF cure A word TO the wise
Is sufficient

ported on Senate Bill A, the diversified
industry encouragement act, suggest
| ing some important changes, Section
| 1928 of the Revised Laws being revis-
ed so as to read:
For the five years from December
81, 1907 all property, real and personal,
solely and actually used in the culti-
| walton and production of sisal fibre,
| castor oil, copra, vanilla extract, Ha-
waiian starch, pineapples, arrowroot
and maniocca starch (cassava), shall
be exempt from property taxes there
on; provided, however, that such ex-
emption shall not apply to any land
in excess of forty acres so used by any
one person, firm or corporation in the
cultivation and production of pine
apples.
Your committee feel that such
provision is eminently necessary to be
made for the exemption of property
used In the cocoanut or copra indus
try. which industry is as yet In It's
primary stages here, but of immense
value and vast proportions elsewhere,
and which can be made as important
here as 1t Is in the other islands of
the Pacific, for instance, Tanning Is
land and others adjacent. the Tongan
Islands, etc. Those desiring to go into
this industry should receive some en-
couragement, which your committee
now begs to recommend
"In reducing the number of two hun
dred acres to forty is a matter that
your committee feels justified in so
doing, inasmuch as the pineapple in
dustry now carried on throughout the
Territory has passed the experimental
stage. The incorporation OF several
companies to carry on this industry
with large capitalizations will give any
person or persons an exact idea of the
magnitude of the pineapple industry.
THE forty acre exemption aimed at
by your committee is recommended to
aid and encourage any individual of
moderate means whose chief suste-
nance and dependence may be derived
from such industry. 1t is further an
encouragement for the so-called small
farmer" or settler. which is necessa-
rily desired In this Territory, to bring
1t up to American lines"

such tragedies?
The Bargain Counter and Crime.


But, though 1t is hard to starye and
to wear ragged clothes and go to the
poorhouse, yet there are even worse
results from the bargain counter tnan
those. Poverty is hard enough. But,
though poverty dresses in rags, power
ty too often has a handmade ready TO
run at her beck and call. Povertys
handmade is crime, and crimes name
can be spelled In many different ways.
Sometimes 1t is called immortality,
sometimes theft, sometimes drunken
ness, sometimes forgery, sometimes
wrecked and dismantled homes. 1t Is
easy enough for some Of us to be good
when we have full stomachs and are
sitting with our dear ones before the
crate in the cheerful library, but 1t Is
another thing for some Of us to be
good when we are hungry and cold
and are hearing our little ones cry for
their daily bread. Yes, the bargain
counter, nearly always means poverty.
And, alas, poverty too often means
crime
s The history Of the bargain counter
is ruinous everywhere. 1t means pow
erty, and poverty too often means
crime. See that young girl leading
life of shame. The bargain counter
may have made her do it. See that
forger behind iron bars. The bargain
counter may have made him dip the
false pen into the ink See that drunk
ard. The bargain counter may have
lifted the intoxicating cup to his lips.
You cannot buy something for less
than cost unless some one Is being
pushed to the financial wall. The bar
gain counter always means pecuniary
loss somewhere, and the loser is driy-
en- by poverty and crime to take the
cup of despair and drink it to the bit
ter dregs.
Now. there are two great practical
applications of this subject. Never let
your children become the victims OF
the bargain counters tyrannies. New
or start your own loved ones forth into
the battle of life unless they are men,
tally and physically trained to do one
thing well, so that by their own skill
they are able to earn decent living.
The direct cause of the bargain coun-
ter is that this world is flooded with
unskilled labor. Those unskilled Ia
borers are almost entirely at the mercy
of the INSCRIPTIONS, who say to the
poor needlewoman, make these shirts
at so much a day or starve," and there
IS no redress. The unskilled workmen
have to labor at starvation wages
The goods mostly found upon the bar
gain counter are the products of such
labor. Never let your children grow
up to join the pathetic army OF un
skilled laborers. Make them learn tC
do well some one thing by which they
can earn an honest livelihood If there
should ever be a necessity for 1t. Ant
this warning applies just as much t(
what you shall do for your girls as fol

idol. When at last he has made his
choice he is privileged to remove
the swaddling clothes and behold
the identity Of his prize. Then is
the consummation-the moment of
rapture or despair when soul an
swers soul in the love light of the
eyes or when disappointment speaks
in the stifled sigh or shows in the
averted eye.
It is the law of custom that this
twain should become man and wife.
If the custom is broken a heavy for
felt must be paid by the unwilling
person. But it is rarely that happi-
ness fails in the result. Chance, it
is well known, is open to a bride.
And the lovers who would fail to
offer her brides would hardly de-
serve happiness. In their whispers
before the hour of trial amorous
conspiracies for the cheating Of Ill
fortune are made, and the lover
may depend upon his ingenious in
amorata to convey to him the con-
certed signal whereby will be de-
termined her identity and their mu-
tual happiness.

Little Jonathan Edward had often

So one fine Sunday morning mother
took little Jonathan Edward, who,
all agreed, was marked for the min

There was much in the church to
arrest the lads attention. He
seemed to be deeply impressed, and
then, becoming thoughtful he
turned and asked in a rather loud
whisper, ssBut, mother, where's the

When mother recovered her pres

Why-why-you said there was

CHOOSING A BRIDE.
\ Gay Custom In Russia That Has lts
Merry and Sad Aspects.

An ancient custom is yet main
tanned in Russia at the Christmas
season, in which the festivities Of
the day are made to play a perma-
nent part in the lives of those who
are chief in the frolicking.
Some person of Importance in the
district announces that the annual
fete will be held at his house.
Thither, at the appointed time,
hasten the young men of the coun-
tryside; thither come, no less eager
ly, but with decorous hardness, the
maidens of the place. There are
dances and songs, games and feast
ing, but all else is but the prelude
to the great event, when chance is
made the handmade of love. At the
arrival Of the proper hour the host
ess gives signal and withdraws
into an apartment, accompanied by
all the girls. The lasses are ranged
upon long benches, where they pose,
tittering phalanx of freshness and
beauty, with naught in their smiling
affability to suggest that scratch
on blooming cheek might reveal the
tartar.
The hostess is supplied with long
strips OF broad cloth, and with this
she straightway muffles each and
every maiden. She twists it deftly
over and about the head until hair
and features are hopelessly yelled !;
she winds it about the neck. the
shoulders, the waist and on until
the sprightly and issom figure of
the girl is merged in the rude out
Lines of a papoose.
This is the preparation. The ac-
ton follows, when one by one, in an
order determined by lot, the young

Each in turn approaches the yelled
