The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-09-27

One of the comedians of a Boston
company went out with a fishing party
and soon began to suffer from thirst
and evident failure with the hook. Fin
ally one of the crowd took pity on the
sufferer and fastened bottle Of beer
to his fishing line while he was on a
voyage of exploration. When the actor
returned he found his line rather heavy
and started to haul in what he thought
was the biggest fish of the day. Glee-
full over his changed luck. he shouted
to the captain: "Hey, captain, this
is the place. Anchor right here; we re

The Death of Dole.
Within the past month there has been
a very retrograde step in the manage
ment of Hawaiian affairs. A relic OF
barbarism has been revived which, if
carried too far, may result in serious
Srouble. Before the era of civilization
had dawned upon Hawaiians, it was
customary upon all occasions to consult
the old native prophets and soothsayers,
called "Kahunas, who were supposed
to be able to predict the outcome or
any undertaking. 1t is this barbarous
custom that has been reverted to, and
the Kahunas are now consulted in all
matters of State. If the King has
dream, its meaning is interpreted
amidst the chanting of Hawaiian
hymns, and action is taken in accord
ance with the Interpretation. As Gibson
controls the most powerful Kahunas, it
will be seen that he practically runs the
Government. The Kahunas have de-
eided that the white man must in future,
have no voice in public affairs or hold
any public office, so they are gradually
being removed from all offices of trust.
But the difficulty with regard to Glib.
son s holding office. as his outward ap-
pearance is white, has been met by the
King, who adopted ''Old Man Gibson
as his father. Therefore he is no longer
a "white man." But Gibson has a
strong political opponent in the person
of Mr.. S. B. Dole, leading lawyer of
Honolulu, who has frequently taken the
"Old man. to task for his political
trickery. Dole is thorn in the sold
mans" side, consequently It Is not
surprising TO learn that. through some
body s suggestion, the Kahunas have for
a week past been praying for and using
incantatiOns to bring about the death
of Dole. Dole has gone to San Fran.
cisco, but it is hardly believed that he
has run away because of the incanta-
tions of the Kahunas. They will have
to do a little more praying before they
can cause the death of Dole.

KOhala sugar mills on the Island or

were totally destroyed, involving a loss
