Passing Of Great Strikes.

According to former Labor Com
missioner Carroll d. Wright the
era of great strikes is passing, a
result he attributes to the growth
of a spirit Of Cancellation.
Certainly there have been no la
Dor conflicts of recent years COM
parable in violence, in the numbers
engaged and in the magnitude OF
property losses with the railroad
strikes of 1877 or 1894, or with the
Homestead disturbances OF 1897,
relatively small though the num-
Der was of those participating in
that bloody quarrel. The sight
has not been seen in long time,
as in 1886, of an entire labor or
ganization ceasing work because OF
the discharge of single employee
nor has a Debs called out a great
army of workmen in a sympathetic
strike since the Pullman troubles
of 1894. Less is heard of armed
Pipkerton detectives in the field o.
of militia companies waiting order
in their armories.
/ Capital and labor have eacl
learned the lesson of the folly o
using their giants strength like
giant, and the gain is great-Ne'

To Retire the State Debt.

The suggestion of Mr.. Sanders, one
of the candidates for the guhernsto-
rial nomination, that the next legis-
lature be called upon to provide Il
sinking fund for the retirement OF the
State debt is a good suggestion-but
can it be accomplished?
The State of Louisiana has out
standing bonds to the amount al
81 900, 900. drawing four per cent
interest, or $40, 900 year--a fixed
charge which, of course, must be the
first item in the semi-annual apprO-
priation bill passed by the general
assembly.
To retire these 81, 900, 900 of
bonds within fifty years it will he nee
essary to set aside, in the sinking
fund. an additional 100000 an
nually. making this totalfor the next
fifty years, for interest and sinking
fund, $500, 900 year, a grand total
of $33, 900, 900 to be paid by the
State within fifty years in order to
wipe out debt of 81 100000.
The question is; Can Louisiana at
ford to wait longer to begin the work
of raising money to retire These
bonds? 1t is costing practically hal
a million dollars "A year in interest

1t is pointed out that there are TIVE

RACE TROPHY
NOW ON HAND

The prize which belongs to the Dia-
mond Heads for winning the mile relay
race at the Y. NJ. c. A. games held
recently has arrived and is on ex-
hibition at z. o. Halls. There is a
question as to just what it is. 1t was
ordered under the name of a punch
bowl, but having passed through sever
al prohibition states and through the
hands of the Y NJ. c. A it is now said
80 be a lemonade bowl.
1t is a very handsome trophy, being
a large pewter bowl, with copper chas-
ing. 1t is about sixteen inches in dia-
meter and stands about fourteen inches
IN height and is accompanied by ladle.
The bowl is appropriately inscribed,
with the fact that it is the trophy for
the mile invitation relay race at the
Y. NJ. c. A. games, and the names of
the members of the team, John Carey.
J. Bettencourt. w. Rice and Frank

FIRST CASH IS
GIVEN FOR YACHT
C. A. Widemann Makes First
Donation for the New
Racer.

The first cash subscription for the
building of the yacht which viii repre-
sent Hawaii in the transpacific race of
1908 was received yesterday by Will
McInerny. There has been no call for
subscriptions issued as yet but the let
ters to those who are thought likely to
subscribe will be sent out towards the
last of this week. The island of Ha-
wall will be the first to receive this
attention and it is expected that the
letters to that island will be mailed on
Friday in time to go on the Claudine
The other islands will receive their
communications on this subject shortly
and the movement will then be under
full Roadway.
The honor of donating the first sum
in cash goes TO c.. A. Widemann of
Waimea, Hawaii. He is in this city at
present and paid VIII McInerny a visit
yesterday morning for the purpose of
giving his share toward the boat which
will represent the Territory of Hawaii.
From what he says, the island of Ha-
wall is greatly interested in the race
and there should be goodly amount
of money raised there without trouble.
The active work in regard to the new
yacht will not commence for some two
or three weeks. The plans from Crown
inshield were to be here five weeks
from when they were ordered. Three
weeks of this time have already ex-
pired. These plans will be preliminary
ones as there will be many details
which will have to be decided later on.
Every bit of material for the boat,
both in her construction and for her
furnishing, which can be bought in Ho-
nolulu will be purchased here. There
are, of course, many things which will
be needed which will not be available in
this city and it is probable that a
member fof the committee, who will be
in the East at that time, will be COM
missioned to purchase these and ship
them here.

GEORGE FREETH
OFF To COAST
Will Illustrate Hawaiian Surf
riding to People in
California.

Among the passengers to sail for the
Coast on the Alameda today will be
George Freeth, of this city, who is on
his way to Southern California to give
exhibitions of Hawaiian water sports
to the people of that section. He has
done more to revive surf riding and
canoeing in this city than anyone else
during the past few years. Through
his exertions, what seemed bound to
become a lost art, has once more
sprung into vogue and is being prac-
tised by both Hawaiians and haoles.
At the time when Freeth first took
up surf riding there had been very
few here for many years who had
been able to perform the trick of stand
ing on. g. surf board, and coming in
to the shore on the crest of a wave.
The white man who could do it was
exceptional. Freeth determined that
if the old natives had been able
to do the trick there was no reason
that he could not do the same. In a
short time he had mastered the feat
and then went further. The older in
habitants told of natives in the early
days who stood on their heads when
they came in. Freeth soon proved that
this could be done at the present time
as well as before.
A great deal of practise was needed
to perform this last mentioned feat.
Freeth tried a number of surf boards,
some long and narrow, others shorter
but with more breadth, and also of
varying thicknesses. Finally he found
one which was suited to him and the
trick was done.
Freeth has been for several years
one of the finest swimmers and divers
in the Diamond Head Athletic Club
and has been a great attraction in all
the swimming and diving exhibitions
given in this city. The most difficult
feats of fancy diving are to him simple
and he shows an unusual amount of
grace in his performances.
When the Congressional party made
its tour of the other islands Freeth
was taken with them by Acting Gov
ernor Atkinson to act as q lifesaver
in case one of the boats should be
upset in making a dangerous landing.
He has figured as a life saver a num-
Der of times and as a fast and strong
swimmer has few equals in the United
States.
Freeth takes with him letters from
the Promotion Committee, from Jack
London and from Alexander Hume
Ford. who has recently completed
series of articles on his experiences In
Hawaii. Both London and Hume have
made Freeth the central feature in
articles which will appear in the La
dies Home Journal and in Outing. Both
these gentlemen have become personal
friends of Freeth's through the exhibit
lions which he has given them of surf
riding and they have both taken les
sons in the art from him.
Freeth does not take a Hawaiian
surfing canoe with him but If his trip
is successful he expects to visit the
Atlantic Coast next year in company
with ''Dudy' Miller, his closest friend
who is also skilled in this art, and
take a couple of canoes. The various
summer resorts of the East will be
visited in this case and passengers will
be taken out and given a chance to
enjoy the Hawaiian sport.

MANY To SHOOT
FOURTH Of JULY
The Real Opening of the Dove
Season Will Occur Next
Thursday.

The dove shooting season opened
Monday and a few hunters, who were
able to get away from their business,
took advantage of this the fact and
got fairly good bags. The real open
ing of the season, however, will be on
the Fourth of July, when ali the shot
gun owners viii be out in force. The
birds are said to be very plenty this
year but the usual limit of fifty birds
will be observed.
The fifty bird limit is one which has
been voluntarily placed on doves by the
local sportsmen, who do not desire to
see the shooting on the island spoiled.
Every member of the Hawaiian Gun
Club is bound not to shoot more
than this number and almost all the
other shots of the city have agreed to
keep within this limit. To find a man
coming home with more than this
number will ostracise him.

FAST POLO
TOMORROW

The polo game which takes place to-
morrow will mean a great deal to the
players who take part. From the work
done on the field the team which will
represent the OahR Polo Club in the
three genes to be played against Maui
will be selected, and from tomorrow on
they will play together in practice
against the strongest picked teams
which can be selected from the other
members of the club.
Both the Reds and the Blues are in
good condition, and with the two teams
as they stand at present the contest
should be very close iii the game to-
morrow. The odds this time seem to
favor the Blues a little. as. with the
changes which have been made in the
lineup. they have a little the best of it.
The field is in first-class condition for
fast play and the ponies are all fit, so
hard and fast play is expected.
