Of
PIONEER CHURCH

WAIMEA, June Ga double event
of more than usual interest took place
in Waimea last Sunday in the rededi-
cation of the church and the ordination
of J. A. Akina to the ministry
The church, which we understand was
originally built by Mr.. ROwell, and is
one of the oldest churches in the
Islands, faced away from the street as
finally evolved, and was otherwise be-
hind the times. 1t has been vastly i'm
proved by large addition to the west,
making it T-shaped, with a new main
entrance from the street. 1t was dedi-
Gated entirely free from debt, and with
handsome balance in the treasury
The interest in the work was general
aud the response generous in all diree-
tions, but special credit Is due to Mrs.
Wright and Mrs. Crowell for the speedy
conclusion Of the work. Rev. ]. B.
Hanaike of Lihue preached the dediea-
ton sermon, which was very apropOs
and effective.
The ordination of J. A. Akina fol
lowed Immediately. and was consum-
mated by special committee, appoint
ed for the purpose by the Island Asso-
NAdtADuf VI WHICH htN. D. NJ. LFugdtt
was the chairman. The ordination
prayer was by Rev. J. b. Hanaike, the
charge to the pastor by Rev. J. NJ.
Lydgate, B. D., and the charge to the
people by Rev. Solomon Kaulili. Rev.
ID. P Mahihila and Rev. T. Puuki as
sisted
The church was beautifully deeorat-
ed for the occasion, and the music par
suitable and effective.
1t is characteristic of our Hawaiian
friends that on all such occasions they
do not forget the inner man. Accord
lngly, all visitors were invited to ad-
journ Immediately after the service to
the home of |. K Kapuniai. where sub
stantial and delicate refreshments were
served.
The order, deeorum and intelligence
Of the whole affair reflects credit on
our Hawaiian friends at Waimea.

of the latest great sellers and will

readers of fiction will find this among
the most completely interesting of the

sustained interest which holds atten-
ton from beginning 10 end. 1t Is not a
problem story, does not deal with alb
straetiQns or the divorce evil but is
simply a strong tale told In a cHptivat-
ing way. 1t has plenty of adventure,
abounds in situations. sufficiently
startling and is not without the newt
able love story. To offer a synopsis of
a story is to spoil interest for many

chased and will be published. Begin

1HI REORGANIZATION or MURPHY.

| Fifth district republicans and others
over the state will read the following
| excerpt-taken from the editorial page
in one of the strong weekly newspapers
of the district with great surprise and
with feelings somewhat varied by rea-
son Of their political factionalisln.
These who have not already seen the
article please read it thru and guess
its authorship before anyone mentions
Bernard Murphy and the Vinton Eagle.
1t is true statement of the case:
Let It run thru your mind that the
reason the Standard Oil company got
such a fearful hold upon legislation and
upon the transportation lines is be-
cause it employed attorneys who held
official positions-especially legislative
positions. "A legislative position gives
an attorney an advantage to ask an
enormous fee and a conpny like the
Standard OIL company will not dick
ier" about the fee if it gets the service
it wants. Attorneys will learn that they
can not make combination between a
legislative position and legal knowl-
edge The people are largely to blame.
They elect to legislative positions law
yers holding railroad attorneyships
as readily as one who does not. Here
tofore no questions have been asked,
but the whole matter has come to n
point where there is going to be more
scrutiny. It will be even so that when
a lawyer asks for legislative position
and II Is learned that he is a railroad
attorney, IL will be suspicioned that he
has an Interior motive in asking for the
place. 90 far as the Standard Oil COM
pany is concerned 1T is not reaping
more than 1t has sown. 1t long ago
learned that money "makes the mare
goy to use a lomely phrase and it has
been unstinted in its use. 1t has ruined
good many men who eased their con-
science by claiming as they were law
yers II was perfectly proper for them
to accept the money. A, different polit-
ical moral tone is coming into existence
and hereafter there will be less ac-
cepting money from the large corpora
tions by men who have been elected to
places Of trust
That actually sounds as tho 1t might
have appeared in the Times-Republic
an, doesn't 1t? 1t is modelled much af-
ter the sentiments expressed by the
Times Republican and other progress
i've newspapers during the long strng-
gle In Iowa when the Eagle and Mr. |!
was accusing us of being trou- |
bic makers For the party and assistant
democrats. 1t is perhaps not in excel |
lent taste to break in with II told you
so9 but what Mr. Murphy is saying
now the progressive press has been
saying for the best part of a decade in
Iowa politics.
1t is not unjust to Mr.. Murphy and
the Eagle and only just to the prof.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-10-02
ghiRs Teah1ie,n 9llarslrlto,,, a,s, crtnhrr 1908

gressive newspapers and editors to
things are said has considerable bear
ing on the case. In fact time is the
essence of the contract. The Eagle has
been long time making up its mind
Glad as all true progressives naturally
must be over the appearance of the
Eagle and its editor In the vineyard at
the eleventh hour, Or to be precise at
11:59 a. m, remark on the lateness of
their arrival is scarcely to be avoided.
Railroad attorneys long dominated
Iowa politics and Iowa administrations,
vetoed appointment of senator's, etc.
Perhaps it will still be recalled that
those who protested publicly were
classed as of a rerverse and stiff
necked generation, unworthy to sit in
the inner councils OF republication and
especially dangerous as candidates for
office And now, comes deponent Muir
ply who was wont to cuss us out and
offers corroborative testimony.
What Mr. Murphy says is true. 1t
was true in Larrabee's time and true
during the bitter struggle that has
gone on ever since the popular protest
arose against a dynasty of railroad
bosses and their hired men in legislat-
i've positions. 1t has been true all the
time 1t will always be true. Mr.. Muir
ply has brought no great accession to
the facts as they have existed But it
is good to hear him recite them. And
when Bernard Murphy goes on the wit
ness stand 1t is not ok parte nor hear-
say evidence. Bernard knows now. The
strange part of the whole business is
that his awakening should have been
so long delayed
