Joseph James Fern, the mayor-elect,
comes Of a family that ought to de.

was himself the fourteenth child in
his fathers family, and he himself
-~o months ago, became the father
o: his fourteenth child, of whom ten

leon, and was veteran OF the battle
OF Waterloo. Being a shipwright
Fern readily found service with Kamc
hameha II building and repairing the
ldng's fleet. He built the first framed
house on the island OF Maui and ht
built many of the early sugar mills OF
the islands also. He married an Ha-'

The nEayor-eleet is something Of a
linguist. His mother tongue is ha>
waiian, but, in addition. he speats
English and Portuguese, and during
the campaign he made speeches in all
three languages.
For the past two years Mayor.elect
Fern has been a member of the Board
of Supervisors of Oahu county. The
City and county of Honolulu is the
successor of the county of Oahu, so
that Mr.. Fern does not come wholly
inexperienced to his new duties.

NINE YEARS OF PLENTY.

The seven years of great plenty in Egypt, when Joseph was prime min ister to King Pharaoh, has been out done in the United tSates. Chief Stat istician Clark of the United States de partmenf Of agriculture has been quoted as saying that for eight years .he American farmer has enjoyed un- precedented prosperity, and now the n.rth promising harvest is practically assured.
 The agricultural products for the resent year, exclusive of horses, cat H-. s,6cp. swine and fowls, are esH- --.c1 q the department of agricul- -ure at sS,O0o,0OO,OOO'
 2Ir. Clark further said that never in the history of the United States have there been nine such years years of big yields and high prices.
 And there is not yet the slightest sign that these nine plenteOus years are to be followed by even one year of dearth such as for seven years was in all the land of Egypt, following the seven bountiful years.
 In every respect our country is the .uosr biesr in all the world, ana if we are not, we ought to be the most vir- tuous and the happiest people. There can be no permanent hard times in this country while our farms are an nually producing ss,OOO,OoO 900 worth of grain. hay, fruits, tubers, roots and other vegetables.

While we have been fairly treated by the government during the time of our preparation for statehood. still there has been long yearning for that equality of privilege and citizenship which is only guaran- teed in the states.

They declare that after securing Tex as and the adjoining states they find an unprecedented scarcity of ayaila- ble stock, and that at present breed ing is not being embarked upon a scale large enough to promise relief in the next two or three years.
 They are unable to account for tar scarcity of horses except on the the ory that the breeding stock was de pleted in this part of the country dur ing the Boer war and the Spanish war and has never been re-estaD- lished. Texas Is ideally adapted for the raising of horses and there are some very large horse ranches in this part of the state. It Is probable that

SAN ANTONIO, July S.-A horse famine of serious proportions now prevails in Texas and the southwest. So far from the automobile putting the horse out of business the demand -or horses ct present in this part Of the United States far exceeds the supply and the price is constantly rising.

NOISE AND NOMINATIONS.

NOMINATIONS.
 The feat of the Roosevelt admirers by which forty-seyen minutes of the time of the republican national con yeHtica was used up in cheering their favorite is the subject of varying com ment.
 One writer tells of the emulation of effort of this sort In 1892, when Grover Cleveland was nominated for the third time, the crowd 'cheered for twenty-five minutes,
 In 1904 the Roosevelt nomination was followed by Q thirty-six-minute demonstration. At Kansas City the name of Bryan started Cheering which was kept up for forty-two minutes.
 The latest accomplishment beat that record by five minutes. That much of it was artificial no one doubted who saw and heard n the convention hall.
 That there is anything modern in such demonstrations is untrue. The variations in the schemes for stimu- lating the Iagging energies of the 'rooters" make the element of novel, fly.
 One who reads the contemporary accounts of the famous Chicago con yention of 1860 when Abraham Lin coln was nominated for the presiden- cy will soon find that the noise test was used that long ago at least.
 When Seward was narned the shout ing was called frantic, shrill and wild. People stopped their ears in pain. Co., manche Indians, pauthers, and similar noisemaking creatures were dragged into the descriptions.
 No one thought the eSward dem onstration could be equaled. But when Lincoln's turn came again, as Ohio seconded his nomination, the versatile writer had to think of all the hogs ever slaughtered in Cincinnati squeal- ing together.
 That failing to do justice 10 the oc- casion, he Illustrated it by a score of . big steam whistles blowing at the same time. When it was felt that the Lincoln noise was the louder every plank and pillar in the wigwam was made to shake with the stamping of tEe throng.
 : When the ballos showed the triumph ! 3t Lincoln the racket within the con vcn-.on nall was so great that those 1 present could not hear the firing of { cannon on the rivers bank, just a i shc-t distance from the open windows.
 In the demonstration of 1860 the 1 delegates themselves played a far more prominent part than was done n the recent instance. The galleries were the centers of the disturbance. l In 1880 the noise seems to have had an appreciable effect upon the issue h all the later occasions it WAS e6or; in vain.
 On calm reflection a forced root ing for many minutes seems nothing in which any one may justly take pride. But it seems to have become a recognized part of official gatherings during half a century-Ex.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

Today is the Fourth Of July, the anniversary of American independ- ence and commemorating an act of the colonial congress which resulted in the best government known since the world began. The signing of the declaration of independence occurred on July 1. 1776. This action has stood from that day to this unequaled for bravery and patriotism. The men who signed that declaration will be known in history so long as the world stands; without arms or equipment for de fense, without resources to support an army, the patriots of l776 threw de fance at the authority of Mother Eng land. recited the wrongs which had been heaped upon them and calling upon God to witness the justice of their cause pledged their lives, their fortunes and sacred honor to the cause of freedom. After a war of years, unequaled for privations and hardships. this noble band were vic torious and the American government has been the result of their sacrifices.
 The government buiIded upon the eternal principle written by Thomas Jefferson in the declaration of inde, pendence, that "all government must rest on the consent of the governed g has demonstrated the wisdom of the fathers o1 America. Th.s government has stood a4d 4o" stands as the only one which provides equal opportuni ties for all, as tha only one which puts every individual on an equality before the law, as the only one where the rights of every individual are guaranteed against prince, potentate or piebian, as the CnIy one under which the oppressed of all nations have ever been welcome and given equal opportunity witA the descend ants of those who formed it, as the only one where the industrious youth of today becomes the industrial cap tain of tomorrow.
 While from time to time in the his tory of our country wrong policies have crept into the governmental sys tenn they have been quickly detected by the people and eliminated. What ever system remains permanent in tn American government must be by th' consent of the majority. Every off cial. high and low, must depend 10 his continuance in power upon th' will Of his constituents. It is not tn usual to hea= of corruption in politics Bur the fact remains that the baIlo was never protected so sacred.y a now, after 132 years have Lee: spanned since our governIent wa born.
 After the lapse of century and third of time it can be said that dc spite the mouthings and suli:s of th' anarchists and socialists in this com fry there never was a time vixen tht American people loved their countT, and system of government more There never was a time when the pa trio.jsm of America stood armer as guarantee of continuance of liberty The American government grow stronger as inc American peopie grow better.
 This Fourth of July is one whici should especially appeal to the pa triotism of Arizona. It comes, as ! were, on the eve of the admission O the territory as state, which VII bring to our people the full rights O
