Society is looking forward eagerly to
the coming series of polo games be-
tween the pick of the Maui players and
the fast ones of the oahu club. Both
teams are training hard for the con-
tests and both are confident of VIM
ming, so that the best of polo is to be
looked for. With the Maui players
Will come a number of the fair ones
of the Valley Isle to cheer them on and
offset in a measure the applause that
will follow the doings of the local boys.
The Moanalua grounds and polo field
gre in the very best condition and will
be the gathering place of society on
those days when the ponies scamper.

THE kINAU AND
THE VOLCANO

Editor Advertiser: On a recent TRIP
to Hilo, I overheard some tourists
speaking seriously of the Kinau and
lightly of the volcano For instance
they said that the Kinau can do the
rolIshiver act better than any other
craft afioat. And that the volcano is
a snare and delusion.
AT the moment, they were not in
a condition to be convinced by rea-
| son; so I did not try to correct their
| impressions. But if this meets their
eyes they may reconsider.
The Kinau has been maligned. I
have myself said unpleasant things
about her. But that was years ago
when she had three days to reach Hflo
and SO was obliged to do something
to fill in the time besides go ahead.
Now, all that is changed. My first
two days in Hilo were days of perfect
peace and rest. Then I began to feel
queer. This queer feeling grew for
three days, when I decided home was
the place for me, and took the Clau-
dine for Honolulu. AS soon as the
Claudine was outside and rolling prop
erly, the queer feeling disappeared.
Then | realized what the trouble was.
My system had been accustomed to
a three days trip on the Kinau with
all the old-time frills, and when it
landed in Hilo in twenty-six hours,
without occasion to even sigh a sigh,
it was disappointed and rebel1ed. But
when it realized it was to have a
three days return trip on the Clau-
dine, with seven hours at Laupahoe-
hoe. it cheered up and began to behave
itself
So [ suggest to my tourist friends
that their troubles on the Kinau were
due to a disappointed imagination.
They have read and heard stories of
a NEUROLOGICAL Kinau with her pro-
peller dredging the channels and her
PROV among the stars; and when they
find themselves on an even keel they |
feel they are not getting their moneys |
value and are sure something is |
wrong.
AS to the volcano being a snare and |
a delusion, it is neither. To be a snare |
the thing must encircle you; must lead |
you into error, into danger, into for |
getfulness. Now the volcano cannot |
encircle.-it is not thing, only a !
place. 1t does not lead you into error, |
the guides have a monopoly of that |
1t does not lead you into danger There |
is no danger, not a bit. 1t is the |
safest place on earth. It does not |
make you forgetful. On the contrary
the memory is never more active than
on a return trip.
As for its being a delusion, you have
the word of every promotion agent, |
every reporter, every steamship agent, |
every hotel man, every stage man and
most tourists, that the volcano is an
awful reality. And on your return,
you have also your hotel bills, your
hack bills, your memory of cross-chan-
mel experiences, your Laupahoehoe
and your iaded magma
ton. showing that something happen
ed, somewhere. All this testimony is
1t should counteract the
growing idea that at least half the
activity of the volcano consists in
its trying to get out of sight

IN WICHITA

Down in Wichita there is a three
cornered municipal fight in progress.
The Republicans and Democrats each
have straight party tickets in the field.
but an independent municipal league
has also been formed and is fighting
both the partisan tickets. And-wonder
of wonders-this municipal league is
making its campaign on the issue of a
clean city, morally and physically. Here
is the first plank in it's platform:
I'VE are in favor of obedience to the
laws of our state, and not of revolt
against them; therefore we pledge our
selves to the enforcement of all our
laws and ordinances impartially and to
the enactment of an ordinance to pre-
vent the sale of intoxicating liquor con-
trary to the laws of the state of KAN
sas"
Just think of that! In Wichita! In
Wichita where disobedience of the pro-
hibitory law has been a primal virtue
in years gone by! In Wichita, where
saloons have operated as openly as in
Kansas City. and whose mayor is now
the defendant in a case in the supreme
court, charged with violating the laws
himself in order to let the joints run,
This Is the first and great plank of the
Municipal league. And the second is
like unto it:
I'VE deplore the filthy condition of
the streets and alleys, the existence of
open gambling houses, opium joints and
other criminal resorts in this our home
city; we believe effective remedies
should be applied at once
This is new song for Wichita to
sing. Heretofore its liberal" policy re-
garding such things has been a source
of qualification to Wichita. and it's citi-
zens have pointed with pride to this
policy.
The other planks of the platform
promulgated by this independent NUM-
cipal league declare for municipal own
ership; care in granting franchises; the
extension of public improvements as

But the trail that leads down to perdition

Who are posted and know every brand.
