There were about iSo members
Of the two lodges met aud enjoyed
most happy evening. There
were games such as drop the hand

that seemed as hard as the one to
Jericho. and the last game that was
played they called the Virginia

was too many for some of us,
though, and we fell by the wayside,
Then came the lunch which was
delicious as the Rebekahs' lunches
always are. After the lunch Mrs.
Davenport was called to the Noble
Grand's chair and presented with
the prettiest Rebekah pin we have
ever seen. The presentation speech
was made by Mrs. ii. S. Hewitt,
who told the charming Rebekah
what nice girl she had been since
coming into the order and our
regrets that she was to leave us.
Then a Sister Rebekah, who
must be a populist judging from
the song, Keep in de middle
of de road" Mrs. Davenport as
sisted her and they gave a ''cake
walk" that brought down the
house. Mr.. and Mrs. Davenport
have won all hearts since their
coming to St. Johns and they will
be greatly missed from the social
circle, where they have contributed
most generously to the amusement
and entertainment of our people.
The very best wishes of all who
have learned to know them go with
them to their new home and hope
they may be so fortunate as to re-
turn to st. Johns when their two
years are up at Detroit, Mich.

Deputy Attorney General Whit
ney Is Back From
Maui.

Deputy Acknowledgement Whitney
has returned from Wailuku, where he
went to investigate the facts III con
neetion with the Waikiki waterworks
The Waikiki Sugar Company has fled
a bill for an injunction restraining the
Territory from taking any water from
the Waikiki river or lao valley ex
cept what II Is entitled TO by reason
Of the water rights it acquired by pGr,
chase from John W. kalua. 1t Is al
legged in the bill that the Territory
started by taxing the water TO which
it was entitled b. reason of its owner
ship of small portion of land having
a water right from this source, and by
gradual entertainments now takes 200,-
600 gallons and more a day, TO most
of which it Is not entitled.
Deputy Acknowledgement Whitney
found that as a matter of fact, while
the Territory is getting much more
water than it is entitled to, merely by
reason af the ownership of a small
portion of land having a water right,
it is not getting any water that be-
longs to Wailuku Sugar Company. Be-
fore the establishment of the water
works, very many people IN Wailuku
had water rights appurtenant TO their
land by which they were entitled to
take from the ancient open bitches
what they needed. The government
has taken the water, or some Of 1t, To
which these were entitled and plped II
throughout Wailuku, and IN return has
given them free water from the water
works system. In this way the gov
eminent has incorporated into It's sys-
TEN the water rights Of these various
citizens. and these water rights IN the
aggregate amount to more than the
whole volume of water the govern
ment has taken.
The Wailuku Sugar Company, as
konohiki, is entitled to all the water
these several owners of water rights
do not use. In the event of the aban-
donment by these owners of the water
and bitches it would revert to the
Wailluku Sugar Company by the OPP
Grafton of the statute of limitations.
But on the other hand, the statute
would operate in favor of the Terri
tory, giving it the absolute right to the
quantity of water it has been taking
under the claim OF 1gHt db tut emu u
ten wears. Thus the sugar company,
while it stood to gain water rights by
reason of the abandonment by indl-
viduals of their rights, stood TO lose
at the same time by reason of the
Territory s use and claim of the water.
1t seems to have been for this reason
that the suit was brought at this time
to settle all questions of right that
might arise.
The surrender of private water
rights to the Territory, though an ac-
tual fact. has not been formally made,
at least in most eases. This viii now.

First Campaign Meeting.

Charley Achi opened the campaign
last night at meeting in Kakaako,
where a couple of hundred Hawaiians
gathered in the drizzle and listened to
the roasting of the Inter-Island COM
pany and the various candidates con
neeted with that company. The
speakers were Waikalai, Kamoa, J. M.
Poepoe and w. G. Achi, the latter be-
ing the star performer. The best thing
about the meeting was the perambu-
lating stage from which the speakers
talked. This is a substantial stage
built upon wagon box, ready to be
taken to any point where Home Rule
Laborers may be meeting.
Achi attacked monopolies in general
and the Inter-Island in particular. He
stated that J. A. Kennedy would be
the real mayor of the city if either
Lane or Fern were elected, while if
Jarrett. Rose and the other ex- company
employees were put in office the COM
panv would run the city as it liked.
eff either of the other candidates
are elected. what viii happen?" ques-
toned the orator 81 Mr.. Kennedy viii
come to the MAYOR s Office and viii
tell the clerk: TELL the mayor Mr.
Kennedy wants to see him. He viii
be taken right in and anything he asks
for he viii get. If he wants to have
men to work on the waterfront for
less wages, the mayor viii see that he
gets them. He viii be the boss. What
viii happen if a poor Hawaiian goes
to the mayors Office? He viii be put
out. -
This is a sample of the talk that
was chee1ed last night. Another choice
bit of argument directed against the
Inter-Tsland was: ''The company takes
a pig on ship at Kona, and the pig
is dirty. but it is taken care of and
put off carefully and the fare to Ho-
nolalu is only one dollar. The com
panv takes a Hawaiian on at Kona.
and he keeps himself and the boat
clean. When he gets to Honolulu he
is not helped off the boat carefully,
and his fare is three dollars. Watch
the way they carry white man 5 bag
gage down the gangway and make a
Hawaiian carry off his own. That IS
the way of the Inter Island.
There was much more in the same
strain. the Republicans being casti-
gated as the party of the sugar plant
ers and the Democrats scorned as a
party which had deserted the prinei-
pies of Bryan and joined the monop-
olists

vida's Parting Blessing.

The detection of Vida from Democ
raey, the ranks of which he adorned
long enough to take a hint to get out
was expected. He severed his allegi
ance by sending the following letter
to the secretary of the Central Com
mittee:
Gentlemen: I hereby resign from
membership in the Precinct Club of
the Second Precinct, Fourth District,
and sever all connection with the Dem
oeratic party.
lit is proper that I should state the
reasons for my action in the premises,
and these reasons are as follows:
In joining the Democratic party /
did so under the belief that the party
was democratic in fact as well as in
name, and that each individual mem
Der was entitled to voice in all mat
tiers and that the action of the party
was based on the free and voluntary
act of all of the members of the party,
no matter how humble each may be.
find instead that the Democratic party
is controlled and its action dictated,
by few men who work IN secret, and
that the members of the Democratic
party outside of these few men have
nothing to say as to the actual control
and management of the party.
Specifically has this been illustrat-
ed In the Democratic convention just
held. In order to prevent the free
voice of the convention on the choice
of supervisors for the City and County
of Honolulu, three or four of this Sc
lect eoterie. who run the party as
though it was their private property,
secretly eonspired together and in dis
regard of the rules of the party, die
tated to the convention that the
Fourth Representative District should.
convene separately and nominate the
supervisors from that representative
district; and that the Fifth Represen-
tative District should convene sepa-
ratelv and nominate the supervisors
from that district And this was done,
Notwithstanding that the rules Of the
Democratic party require the c0nyen-
ton as whole to nominate the candi-
dates for city and county offices Ar
tiele 3. Section 81, nor were the rules
suspended in order to carry out this
scheme to prevent a free and untram-
meled choice of the party of its can
dates for supervisors. As a suspension
of the rules can only be had on two
thirds vote. these plotters did not dare
to proceed in the regular and legal
manner, but forced through their
scheme regardless of the rights of can
didates, of the rights Of the members
of the convention. and IN utter con-
tempt of the rules of the party I in
stance the above as a specific fragrant
case where three or four men have as
sumed control and prevented the free
action of the party; but it is only enc
instance of the way these few men die
tate the candidates and policy of the
party they style democratic. This is
not democracy, and no man who be-
ieves In the control by the people of
the affairs of their party and their
government can stand for such action.
Tt Is impudent to pretend that a party
governed and controlled by four or five
men, who secretly, by questionable
and irregular means override the viii
