General coniey took charge of the
Office last spring, following the un-
timely death of Attorney General
Clarke May. During all these ,:nontas
he has found no cause to make a
change and this indicates that the
office Will run on in the same old way.
The present force in the attorney gen.
erals Office is one OF the most efficient
in the State house. At this time the
Office is up with It's work, and this is
saying good deal, especially at this

LET NO WOMAN LOOK
ON WINE, HE SAYS

A measure which will be opposed
with vigor is Councilman Ostran-
der's ordinance prohibiting wom-
en- from entering any place where
spirituous liquor Is sold. There
was no discussion upon 1t last
night, but a lively time antici-
pated when 1t is discussed in the
committee. A SIMILAR measure was
introduced about two years ago by
N. S. Pratt, then councilman, but
1t got no further than a limited dis
cussion.
One argument was that women
have the same rights as men and
the same rights to frequent places
where liquor is sold IL they are
orderly about 1t. Mr.. Ostrander's
ordinance is aimed primarily at the
Silver Grill, Imperial and Pfisters.

STILL ON THE OPPOSITION,
BUT BELIEVES THE SPEAK
Err CAN SAVE HIMSELF ~
CONCESSIONS.

Judge Miles Poindexter, con-
gressman-elect, will leave for
Washington the latter part of
February, in time to reach the
capital for the Inauguration. Judge
aPoindexter announces that he is
still opposed to Joe Cannon for
speaker, but thinks that IL Cannon
makes sufficient concessions to the
opposition he may again land the
speakership. The anti-Cannon
forces are still after Uncle Joe's
scalp, but are divided in their
preferences as to the speakership.
Judge Poindexter intends to
take no radical action in the mat
ter of appointments. Where gov
eminent officials, the appointment
of whom will fall to his lot, are
rendering good service and are
satisfactory to the people, Judge
Poindexter is inclined toward leav-
ing we'll enough alone and letting
the old men stay in.
! In the matter of postoffice or
other appointments to be made
Judge Poindexter will take into
consideration the wishes of the
people along with the recommends
tion Of the county chairman.

PRECINCTS.

Adam and Eve in the Garden Of

Perhaps 1t did not occur to the
councilmen In that light last night
when they made names for new
precincts, but that was what came
out of 1t when they got through,
finally There always has been an
Adams precinct in this town from
earliest recollection. But until
last night there never was an Eve
or an Eden. The naming of the
new precincts was going along
smoothly without comment, the
councilmen from the wards in
which the new ones were named
doing the christening. 1t came
finally to Councilman Ostrander of
the Fifth ward. the "E's.' and he
sang out Eden" There was
nothing particularly startling about
this, for this part Of the country,
the boosters say, is the original
Eden, and the boosters know
what they're talking about. There
was another precinct to be named
In the Fifth, however. Ostrander
had had his fling and Joe Phillips,
as the other councilman from the
ward, found it was up to him. He
had forgotten the name he first in
tended to give. Then he said
Eve" and Eve it was named.
Wherefore we have Adam and
Eve and Eden in this town.

Ih. following is being received by
ladies:
Dear Madam The Outrigger Canoe
Club plans to have a ladies' auxiliary.
This is at the request of many of the
leading ladies of Honolulu. The dues
will be the same as in the mems club,
five dollars a year for the privileges
of bathing facilities, showers, private
bathrooms, and the use of surf boards
and canoes.
1t is proposed to build for the la
dies auxiliary an entirely new and
separate building on ground offered by
the Seaside Hotel. This will contain at
least twenty bathrooms for the free
use of the lady members, and a roof
lanai for the exclusive use of the mem
bers and their friends of the gentler
sex. So soon as one hundred members
are enrolled in the ladies auxiliary, it
is expected that work will be begun
on the ladies' bathrooms and club
house.
Will you aid by acting on the COM
mittee to secure the hundred members,
and send us the names of any of your
girl or women friends who may be
interested,
Thanking you for any interest you
may take, we are,

A SPORT
NOT KNOWN HERE

CHICAGO, August 21.-That Chicago
will be the national archery conven-
ton and tournament city in 1900 was
practically the unanimous opinion of
delegates attending the thirtieth an
nual championship which will close
with the business meeting at Washing
ton park tonight.
The record-breaking success of the
tournaments held here in 1907 and this
year led the delegates to look upon
Chicago as the best meeting place in
America DR.. e. B. Weston, president
of the National Archery association,
discussing the subject, said yesterday:
Chicago will undoubtedly be select
ed as the convention city in 1909. Ar
cheers have discovered that this is the
most centrally located city in the ar
cherry world. Chicago is now the
center of archery interest We have
more men and women following the
sport here than in any other city in
America. When the convention was
held at Boston two years ago only
twenty attended. Our attendance has
been more than double that figure the
last two years, Notwithstanding the
fact that Boston representatives failed
to put in an appearance this season.
Then there is not a better place in
America for holding the tournament
than Washington park, which has
every advantage to be desired"
Age eXcelled youth with the bow yes
terday when Will H. Thompson of
Seattle broke the record of Former Ma
tional Champion H. B. Richardson of
Boston won the double York round and
a new national record for seventy-two
arrows at 100 yards. Thompson made
score of 225, twenty-four better than
the highest previous performance,
when Col Robert Williams shot POI at
Eaton, O., in 1885. His 973 for the
full double round eXcelled the mark
Richardson made last year by 113. The

his performance from the fact that he

pose of doing just what he accomplish

THE PROBLEM
OF ASIA
PLAN FOR A CHINESE AMERICAN
ALLIANCE-MR TAFTS VIEW
UNITED STATES CHINA's FRIEND
Especial CorrespondenceN

HONOLULU, r. H., September r.
The problems of Asia are fast coming
to be the problems of the world. De-
velopment, expansion, and reform in
China are now attracting the atten-
ton of the chief capitals of Europe.
1t is not a Yellow Peril that demands
the attention of the Occident today,
but more the great problem of Chinas
awakening and development and future
place in the world This is a ques-
ton not of peril but of progress, it
is matter that will bring compensa-
ton as well as competition to other
great nations. America if she treats
China fairly will benefit greatly by
China's growth and enlightenment.
New and important trade relations are
bound to be established. The United
States is making a splendid investment
in Chinese educational advancement
both at home and in China. The peo-
pie of China will certainly return large
dividends on these investments.
Many belfeve that in the near flu
! ture there will be strong commercial
and educational alliance between Anne
RIGA and China. AS the two greatest
nations, facing the Pacific ocean, they
should be bound together in the strong
est way, to promote their mutual pro-
gress and prosperity.
This proposition of an alliance with
America is causing a tremendous stir
in China today. 1t is said that the
first move will be that the Chinese
Minister to Washington, Hon. WI Ting
Fang, will be made an Ambassador.
Mr.. Taft favors a better understanding
with China He is China's friend.
Speaking of the present situation, on
August oath, Mr.. Taft said:
I'VE ought to welcome Chinas
growth as an Independent power, for
it is the blindest kind of a policy to
retard the development of a nation, in
the hope of thus increasing ours. Our
greatest trade is with our greatest
neighbors. The Chinese are a great
people and they ought to be helped to
assume a national character.
"The United States and others who
favor the open door policy will, if they
are wise, encourage the Chinese En-
pire to take long steps in administra-
tive and governmental reforms and in
the development of her natural re-
sources. l do not view with alarm the
growth of China into a great indus
trial empire. believe that this would
greatly increase foreign trade with
China"
Mr.. Taft believes in just and fair
treatment of the people of China and
Japan. The greatness and prosperity
of the United States will truly be pro-
NOTED by the best development and
progress of the neighboring nations on
the other side of the Pacific America
will not stand for any policy of dis
trust and oppression, but for friend
ship, good feeling and commercial pro-
gress for all in the Occident and the
Orient. China is awakening to real
progress and reform and America re-
joices in this enlightened advancement
