Miss DupTfcy, and she had chosen the
seat In the choir where she could not
fail to be seen by the minister
That morning the minister chose Tor

Beware OF duplicity." All eyes

DENOUNCED BOON TO MAN.aND
Seventeenth Century Wlseacres Saw
No Good in SpectacIes.

A certain English vicar made him
self notorious by the vigor with which
in the seventeenth century, he in
weighed against the use of the newly
invented optic glasses, since they per-
verted vision and made all things ap-
pear in an unnatural and therefore q
false light. Microscopes and tele-
scopes, with their array Of lenses, he
declared to be impostors, since a man
could not see SO we'll with two pairs
Of spectacles as with one. Some as
serted it to be sinful to assist the eyes,
which were adapted by Providence
to the capacity of the individual
whether good. bad or Indifferent II
was argued that society at large would
become demoralized by the use o.
spectacles; they would give one man
an unfair advantage over his fellow
and every man an unfair advantage
over every woman. who could not BE-
expected on aesthetic and intellectual
grounds to adopt the practice.

LIQUOR ON THE DEFENSIVE.

If the advocates of temperance have
done nothing else practical they have
been sufficiently active to give the
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association great cause for worry.
This association held it's annual
meeting at Atlantic City the latter
part of June and one of the most no
table features of the discussion was
the widespread fear among the mem
hers that the anti-saloon element OF
the country will be able to secure a

This indicates that the saloon crowd
is more on the defensive than has
been the case for some time.

ing a strong hold in the Presidential
contest, so strong that an organized
campaign is to be started, backed by
& large campaign fund, for the pur-
pose of heading off the indulgence in
temperance sentiments by either OF
the leading political parties.
We frequently hear the temperance
enthusiasts tell of what they are do
ing, and, as the red liquor is still
sold, accept their utterances with a
grain of salt.
Looking at the situation from the
liquor-manf viewpoint, temperance is
making real Roadway.

Putnam's yard had been selected and
thrown open by the doctor for the oc-

have been found for such an affair.
Mesdames Isenberg and R. l.. Will

the rest of the ladies at once fell in

competitors, boys and girls. There
were prizes. of course, prizes of the
Kind that are most appreciated by the
young ones, and plenty of them too.
But the children like their parents,
need something to sustain them in the
efforts and the needs in that direction
had been looked after in manner that
just suited them. The usual lunch OF
sandwiches and the like has very little
of the festive to the young; they can
get that every day; but when it come

copias into the bargain, that is another
question, and that it what the arrang-

then it will all run along as softly
and happily as the dreamer who sings
and floats in his little boat on a sum-
mer sea.
Hawaii does need farmers, if it can
get them. Those in Hawaii who
know the record of the latest small
farm converts, know that the loudest
shouters for the farmers are the gay
est aggregation of hypocrites that
decorate the immediate foreground,
Revolutionizing Hawaii is not an
easy task And it cannot be done in
the American way if it is to be a rev.
olution that wrecks. Wrecking being
un-American, it will not be done,
though a gradual change will be
brought about.
The problems, the great problems,
Hawaii has to solve cannot be work
ed out independently of the main in
dustry, because the standard of labor
employed by any leading industry in
any part of the United States of
America, establishes the basis from
which all minor industries must oper-

perfect control of their horses but also
of their nerves and could aim their
spears true. Chas. Rice came off vic

the first prize, fancy bride, which
consequently fell to the man with the
highest score in the next run, Allen
Wilcox. In the following run Maulili
managed to finish up with greater
number of rings than any other, while
Bennie Hanaike took the prize in the

The multitude that attended the cell

happy one, but then the joy was not

the excellent air of Lihue.

BEGIN WORK FOR PEACE.

If the War Department is about to
begin the construction of fortifica-
tions at Pearl Harbor;
If harbor mines are to be sent
to this port for the development of
its proper defense;
If few guns and few men are to
be landed on this island to raise the
standard of equipment somewhere
Eear the average the Importance of
the post justifies;
1t is all glorious evidence that our
Federal Government, backed by an
aroused sentiment among the people,
is, about to carry out the plans which
have been on paper for years.
Not only has Hawaii cause for
qualification. The country is the
gamer now and forever after, just as
the man who invests in insurance is
making a good investment and proves
his sound business Judgment.
The fact that any activity of this
character is SO unusual causes many
people to look upon it as being
brought about by hidden reasons that
are not pleasant to contemplate.
The further fact remains that be-
ginning had to be made at some pc
riod in the history of our country.
We simply happen to be living in the
period when plans on paper are trans
ferred to actual realities of forward
movement.
Being unaccustomed to anything
other than talk of the plans it is quite
natural to wonder what it is all
about. And the sensible conclusion
for the people of Hawaii is that it
means a fruition of the advice and
appeals directed at Washington au-
Notwithstanding more. Not only
will Hawaii have the moral protection
of a big and kindly father, but the
father will see to it that he is in a
position to amply protect his own by
practical means.
The coincident agitation between
San Francisco and Admiral Sakamoto
is some part foolishness and a fair
share invention. If Sakamoto said
that with which he is credited, he is
suffering as badly under the influence
of the silly season as San Francisco is
in the hands of the grafters
Meanwhile the bonds of sympathy
between the Governments of America
and Japan are of very permanent
and very satisfactory nature.

account of it has been sent in by one

Monday evening was the occasion OF
an elaborate bachelor dinner given
by R. Beverly Kidd, Territory of Ha-

bungalow on Young street was gor-

dinner were Acting Governor Atkin-

the Territory of Hawaii Mr.. Conkling,
and Acting Chief Clerk of the Attor-
ney Generals Department, Mr.. Ches-

present. Mr.. Kidd departs in two
weeks for his old home in Virginia,
