BOYS FIELD IS
GOOD FOR SOCCER

Dr. Hand and a party of Y. Nj. q. A.
soccer players wen& over to the Boys
Field on Liliha street yesterday after
noon on an inspection visit. The re-
suit so far as they are concerned was
very satisfactory. The turf is very
thick and soft and while lumpy in
places, too much so for intelligent foot
ball at present, it can be put in first
class shape by heavy rolling.
The doctor will put the matter up to
the league tonight at the meeting to
be held in the Scottish Thistle Club
and will suggest that the league make
the following proposition to the man
agement of the Boys ground. The
league to have the use of the grounds
for soccer free of charge and in return
to put the field in first-class shape.
If this arrangement can be made, it
will be a fine thing for the footballers
as the grounds are equipped with dress:
ing rooms and a plunge. If they are
not able to get this ground the soc
cerites will be hard put to it to find a
place, as Makiki park is hard beyond
all preeonceived notions of soccer
field and is crossed by cement path.

SOCCER LEAGUE
MEETING TONIGHT

Don't forget the big soccer meeting
at the Thistle Club tonight. The time
is s clock and the place is in the
Oregon block on Hotel street nearly OPP
pOsite the Young Hotel. There will be
all kinds of business to discuss and ev-
erybody who takes an interest in the
game should, make point of attend
ing.
Prospects for soccer are brighter than
ever. Everybody is so tired of base
ball that they turn with great relief
to the winter game. With the Diamond
Heads putting out team, the Rapid
Transit boys coming in with eleven
fast ones and all the other teams from
last wear there will be a bunch large
enough to make very exciting league
series.
1t is expected that both Kamehame-
ba and st. Louis will be represented
in the league and the Punahous will
surely put out a good team after the
football season is over.

O'KEEFE WOULD
VISIT ISLANDS

Jack O'Keefe, the well-known vel
terweight, is anxious to come to Homo
lulu. He writes to say that he wants
to come to the islands and that he will
meet any man in the world from 140
to $50 pounds, weighing about lao him
self.
He goes on to say that the last go
he had with Kyle Whitney was very
funny proposition. According to Jack
he put Whitney out in the seventh and
was walking to his corner thinking,
of course he had won, when somebody
told him that they had given the deci-
sion to Whitney on a foul.
He is very anxious to meet Kyle
again and there is quite possibility
that the colored fellow may be brought
here for O'Keefe to have another go
at him.

BOYS PRACTISING
FOR BIG REGATTA

Jack Atkinson is taking a keen in
terest in the Hawaiian regatta that is
to be held off Waikiki during the visit
of the fleet. He says that the boys are
working away for all they are worth
every afternoon to get fit for the big
event and that the surf is crowded
with boards and balancers every after
noon after school hours.
This regatta is to be purely Hawai-
ian, that is with only Hawaiian craft
and boards entered, the competitors
may be of any nationality. The re-
gatta is already doing whole lot for
canoing here. There are many haole
boys entered for the races and they
are reducing padding to more and
more of science every day. Stung to
emulation the Hawaiian boys are going
at it the same way and when the canoe
races start there will be something do
ing of a very lively order.

MAUI WANTS
THE CRICKETERS
T. D. Skinner at the n. C. C..
Meeting to Arrange a Trip
in November.

The Honolulu Cricket Club held a
meeting yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of the Scottish Thistle Club to
see what arrangements could be made
for a trip 10 Maai in the near future.
IT. D. Skinner 0f Maui was present and
stated that she Nauinese erieketers are
anxious 70 have the H0uolulans go over
there and that they viii do their best
to give them good game and a good
time
There are two propositions with re-
gard 70 the trip, both of which are
attractive. One Is TO leave Tuesday at
noon on the Mauna Kea, arriving in
wailuku that night, playing the next
day and returning by the Claudine
from Kahului that same evening. This
would neeessitate the loss of only one
and half DAYS of business time.
The other proposition is to leave Fri
day night on the Claudine for Kahului
and to return the following Monday
night on the Mauna Loa from Ne
Gregor' landing. The latter has the
advantage of giving the crieketers more
time on the island with little more loss
of business time. The decision viii be
left to the players who signify their
intention of making the trip.
The exact date will not be set until
the Maui ericketers are heard from, but
Mr.. Skinner states that any time be-
tween now and the end of November
would be convenient for them as all
the erieketers could get off from bust
ness for the match or matches during
that period.
There is rather a dearth of cricket
<ftoOls'' on Maui so the local club
offered to send over good stock of
bats and balls a week in advance so
that their opponents can get practise
before the match.
The Honolulu players won the match
the last time they went over there
but the Maui people think that they
have a good chance to reverse the de-
cision this time. They have practical
" all of last years players and some
recently imported new blood that is re-
ported to be up to county class.
r. A. Jordan, president of the cricket
club, will leave for San Francisco
and, while there. expects to see the
management of the Reach all star ag-
gregation and arrange with them for
a cricket match in Honolulu during
their return visit here on the way back
from the Orient. 1t is said that the
ball tOssers can put up a very good
exhibition of the British game. Such
a game would have to be mere friend

NELSON SIGNS
UP WITH WEBER

After a considerable cOnclave of the
powers, including managers, principals
and retainers, it was finally decided at
a late hour last night that young Mel
son and Charlie Weber would appear in
the preliminary to the Leahy- Reilly go
on October II.
There was a considerable difference
at first but, like most differences of the
kind, it was soon leveled down and the
boys have now agreed to box six rounds
at 126 pounds, winner take ALL
That last item in the agreement is
a good one. When boy agrees to box
winner take all, it is a cinch that he
not only has faith in himself but will
go his hardest to gain a victory.
While a heavyweight preliminary
would have been very attractive from
a fan s point of view, these two young
STEERS will doubtless put up rafting
bout and, for a curtain raiser, it will
be a very classy event.

The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-11-12
PaternaIism or Democracy

Late agitation of matters in con-
nection with the Forest Reserves,
Coal Reserves, and possible Arid
Land Reserves. brings to mind the
broad social trend of such move
ments.
The opening skirmishes of the
contest are even now in progress
between the forces working for
national socialism, in the scientific
sense and the forces working for
national democracy, in the scien-
tific sense. The United States
government in pioneer days was
necessarily democratic. The citi-
zen was so remote from the seat
of government and so little de-
pendent on any neighbors that he
ran his own business and took care
of himself with the minimum of
governmental interference and pro-
lection. That is true democracy.
There is political party of the
name Socialist" which is so &C
curately labeled no discussion is
needed. In itself the political
party is good thing. 1t is an open
expression of certain political views
and as such has its proper place in
democratic country. The prac-
tice of their propaganda would of
course be one form of paternalism
in government. but not the one of
which the United States is possibly
coming under dominion.
The paternalism most likely to
come in force in this country if not
checked soon is the result of an
attempt on the part of an almost
too vigorous national administra-
ton to conserve natural resources
which in exploitation appeared to
be partially wasted. The attempt
in the form made is definite move
in the direction of the despotic
brand of paternalism in vogue in
Germany: the best form of govern
ment in the world with an honest,
omniscient head and the worst with
less than God to administer it.
This progress in the direction of
a centralized paternalistic national
government if proceeded with to
the end can have but two results:
either National State Socialism
the better of the two, or, if the vot-
ers fail to get control of the moye-
ment. Despotism. The latter is in
our opinion the more probable if
the movement cannot be checked
or diverted.
There exist fields for activity
which are national government
monopolIes coinage and banking,
army and navy. civil and police ad-
ministration of justice. the Panama
canal, postal service and many
others which afford an outlet for
all the energies of national adj
ministration without dragging the
country toward paternalism with a
strong flavor of despotism about it
by an absolutely narrow regulation
of the remaining public domain.
The logical ultimate outcome of
late national administrative policy
is at best socialism, at worst. des
potism. unless somethiEg can be
done to change the kind Of admin
istrative progress.

and women in this nation would

where knowledge is conspicuous by its
absence but a red sky at night may
mean almost anything from surplus
of moisture in the air, meaning prob

clouds of dust into the air, causing the
red color by reflection and refraction
of the light rays.

DECIDES AGAINST BILLEK
Plea of Condemned Chicago Poison
err Dismissed for Want of
Jurisdiction.

Herman Billek, the Chicago fortune
teller and necromancer, must lang
for the murder of six members
of the Vrzal family. The supreme
court of the United States dismissed
for want of jurisdiction the ple; Of
the condemned murderer for a writ of
habeas corpus. The writ had been de
manded of Judge Lands, but he re-
fused to issue it. Appeal was then
made to the United States supreme
court.
Preparations for the execution on a
date to be set by Judge Barnes in the
criminal court were begun as soon as
news of the supreme courts action
reached Chicago. 1t is thought the
execution will take place within a
month. In his cell at the Cook county
Jail Billek, who has been snatched
from the shadow of the gallows three
times, received coolly the news of the
highest tribunals action.
