siderably from the large aggregate of

in a serious fight. A number of min

finance, were warmly attacked by
the minority in the house, who ac-
cused them of being participants in
the extensive frauds. The supporters
of the government retaliated by as

BRYAN LOSING

(By Associated Press.)

LINCOLN (Neb.), Nov. 5.-The
feature in Nebraska's election count
today was the steady decrease in the
estimated Bryan plurality. Returns
from eighty-one out of ninety coun-
ties in the state give Bryan 121,080
and Taft 11S,699. The nine remain
ing counties will probably slightly re-
duce Bryan's plurality, but it can not
wipe it out. Prospects are that he
carried the state by little over 1000.

CONFIDENCE

said Lord Chatham, "is plant
Of slow growth" People believe
in things that they see, and in a
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form a foun-
dation for trust. In regard to a
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, "Has it cured 9th
ers? Have cases like mine been
relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it record above suspic-
ion? If so, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if | am ever attacked
by any of the maIadies for which
it is commended [ shall resort
to it in full belief IN its pow
err to help me-" On these line.
WAMPOLE's PREPARATION
has won it's high reputation a.
mong medical men, and the
people of all civilized countries.
They trust it for the same reason
that they trust in the familiar
laws of nature or in the action

remedy is palatable as honey and

radicates the poisonous, disease

action of the organs, gives vigor-

municipal election decided by a vote
of 1854 to 1862, to close its saloons.

places, including seventeen hotels, will
be rendered void.
Many towns around Worcester have

DRYS GAIN 24,S07 IN STATE.
The second largest of the Massachu-
sets cities to enter upon a period of
no-license is Lynn, which showed it's
opposition to the saloon for the first
time in twelve years.
Haverhin, another shoemaking city,
this year turns against the saloon,
leaving Lawrence, Gloucester, and Mid
dleton the only licensed towns in Es-
sex county.
The dry vote throughout the state,
as shown by returns from all but four
towns, had a majority at the recent
elections of 1S,0S5. A year ago, ac-
cording to the Massachusetts Total
Abstinence Society, there was a wet
majority of 6722, making the years
net gain for no-lcense 24,S07.
This report, which is only one of
many coming from different parts of
the United States, shows that the
American people now realize, as never
before, the presence of a great evil,
and have made up their minds to be
free from it.
In the Union Signal, Governor T. F.
Hanly of Indiana, gives strong reasons
against the saloon. He said:
Personally, 1 have seen so much of
the evils of the liquor traffic in the
last four years, so much of it's eccno-
mic waste, so much of its physical
ruin, so much of its mental blight, so
much of its tears and heartache, that
have come to regard the business
as one that must be held and con-
trolled by strong and effective laws.
Il bear no malice toward those en-
gagged in the business, but l hate the
traffic
Il hate it for the grief it causes wo-
manhood-the scalding tears, the hopes
deferred, the strangled aspirations. its
burden of want and care.
Il hate it for its heartIess cruelty TO
the aged, the infirm and the helpless,
for the shadow it throws upon the
lives of children, for it's monstrous in
justice to blameless little ones
I hate it as virtue hates vice, a.
truth hates error, as righteousness
hates sin, as justice hates wrong. as
liberty hates tyranny, as freedom hates
oppression.
4 hate is as Abraham Lincoln hated
slavery.
And as he sometimes saw in pro-
phetic vision the end of slavery and the
coming of the time when the sun
should shine and the rain should fall
upon no slave in all the Republic, so
I sometimes seem to see the end of
this unholy traffic, the coming of the
time when. if it does not wholly cease
to be, it shall find no safe habitation

business methods on the ground, so to
speak.
He will return to Honolulu as an
assistant to his father, who has extern
sive dealings with his own countrymen,
both here and in China.
Wong Leong has just received a let
ter informing him that Francis, his
oldest son, who also studied at st.
Louis College, has just graduated from
st. Mary's Institute, in Dayton, Ohio,
which he has been attending for the
past three years. He has also passed
a successful examination as doctor OF
medicine, and received his degree May
p. He now hopes to secure an ap-
pointment as inferno in some good hos
pital where he can practically apply
his medical knowledge and have tho
advantages of observation and study
which such a post affords.
He will then return to Honolulu and
practise amongst the Hawaiians and
Chinese. Amongst both classes he has
many warm friends, all of whom are
impatiently awaiting his return. There
is a good field for such a man, and
Francis Wong Leong will bring to his
place and his profession great natural
skill, and the results of laborious study
and thorough training.

PRICE Of BOARD At
OAHU COLLEGE RAISED

At a recent meeting of the trustees
| of the Oahu College it was decided to
raise the price of board to IS per week,
| beginning with September, 1908. This
| action, which was taken only after
careful consideration, is based on q
| desire to have the income as nearly as
possible meet the expenses of main
| tenance of the department. The pre-
vious charge of Sc per week paid only
the actual cost of food and service; it
did not include any charge for rooms
salaries of matrons or supervisory
teachers, insurance, light, water, up
keep, deterioration or interest. The
money for these came out of the gen.
eraI income.
1t is plain, however, that this de-
partment, which carries with it the
most responsibility for those in au-
thority, and which has only about one
eighth of the registration, should be
nearly, if not quite, self-supporting.
The policy of the institution is to sup
ply everything that good health and
proper supervision requires. Under the
system with men teachers and moni-
tors in charge of the boys and the
three matrons and women teachers in
charge of the girls. the individual stu
dent is properly cared for. 1t is felt
that salaries of persons whose whole
time is given to this department actual
Of IN h. n
like light, and some small allowance
annually for upkeep, should be paid by
those who enjoy the benefits and
should not be a general charge upon
the institution.
The college every year has a deficit.
Last year it was $4,000; this year it
will be more than $4,000. In ten years
it has nearly trebled in number Of
students. in cultivated campus area,
buildings, and in number of teachers,
and has received only one gift of $780,
600 for it's endowment It has offered
the best course of study and the
broadcast advantages in every way. It
has made it's charge in buttons and
board just as low as possible. 1t will
continue to do so.
The trustees believe that the appre-
citation of this policy has been reflected
in the increased patronage They de-
sire to work with, and cooperate with,
the patrons in making Punahou the
best possible place for Hawaiis young
people, at the least possible cost.
The trustees realize with regret that
the increase will bear heavily upon
some homes. They hope to be able to
furnish work for a limited number by
which enough money may be earned at
least to offset the increase. This can
be done for a few who are able and
willing to work regularly every school
day and on Saturdays.
The assignments of rooms will be
made early in June. Rooms will first
be reserved for present boarders. and
are assigned for the year. If by the
withdrawal of a child vacancy oc-
ours, a charge of 81 per week, payable
monthly, which is made, divides the
loss between the college and the
patron.

One of the most highly respected of
the Chinese residents of Oahu-and
there are a good many-is Wong Lee
ong, the well-known rice planter on
the other side of the island. He not
only raises that staple, but operates
several mills, and he is regarded as one
of the substantial business men of the
islands. He has lived here for twenty
eight years and married a Chinese
Hawaiian woman.
Wong Leong has three children of
whom he is justifiably proud. He and
his family are members of the Catholic
church. His daughter entered the
Order of the Sacred Hearts in Homo
lulu, taking her final vows Some time
ago. There are two sons who are fine
types of the Chinese boys being edu-
Gated in the schools of Honolulu, fit
ting themselves for business or the
professions, in which they are doing
most creditable work.
Francis Wong Leong, the youngest.
graduated at ST. Louis College, where
he made an excellent record. He is
now in private school in Shanghai
and is incidentally studying Chinese
