The mayoralty situation today has
given rise to rumors which appear
to have some foundation, that new
candidate,--a dark horse, is being
made ready to be sprung on the Re-
publican convention. In view of the
rival claims of Lucas, Hustace and
Lane, it seems hardly possible that
any one of them can go into the con-
vention with enough votes to win a
1nonlnatf1, on the first ballot The
tfact that pcie of the business organi-
cations ae speaking for any of the
candidaes has led to a suspicion that
they a.'e lying in wait to spring their
own man when the hour comes. There
are various Republicans who think
that Lane, Hustace and Lucas are get
ting into mix-up that they can settle
by springing a new name.
Republicans are so much ''up in the
air. over the city and county nomina-
tions that there is rising demand for
some caucussing, and a demand that
the county leaders do something to
straighten ont the tangles The coun-
ty chairman is i'll in the hospital and
cannot take the lead in any move Fo
call meetings. One plan proposed is
for the precinct chairman to call eau
cusses, and this will probably be fol
lowed in several precincts, between
now and Saturday.
John Hughes will be candidate fol
Senator on the Republican ticket
Hughes decided to announce himself
this morning, and is a welcome addi'
ton to the general tickets strength
He has served in the house, and came
through with a fine record.
C. H. Dickey is another man men
toned for the Senate. He is in The
Fifth district. Dickey was in the frs
Territorial Senate and proved hare
and able worker.
Achi this morning predicted the no
mination of Hustace for mayor, on th'
first ballot. He said that the effort
of the Kuhio-Lane faction had gather
ed about 70 votes for Lane, and tina
was all he could muster. Lucas ism

luton recognized the fact that serious
charges have been made against Mr..
Breckons, and expressed the opinion
of the Federation that the charges
should be fully investigated. If they
be found true, the resolution says,
Mr.. Breckons should not be allowed to
retain the Office Of United States attor-
ney. And If the charges prove to be
unfounded Mr.. BreckOns should be
publicly acquitted.
"A copy of the resolution has been
sent to Attorney General Bonaparte in

Ed. Towse, secretary of the FEEDER

porter and, when asked about the
resolution in question, declined to be
interviewed on the subject.

MOCHISUKE CLUB
WANTS A LICENSE

An application for permission to or
ganize as a social club and thus come
under the statute providing for the sale
of liquors through the payment Of a
special tax of 5000, has been made by
the Mochisuke club The officers of
the club are given as DR.. T. Katsu-
numa, president, and S. Sheba, secre-
tary. The list of members, who num-
ber over sew enty, includes practically
every prominent Japanese in the city.
Among those who head the list are X.
Abe, the acting Japanese consul, Y.
Akai, the manager OIL the Yokohama
Specie Bank, ana X. 1suchiya, secre-
tary of the Japanese consulate. There
is little doubt of the granting of the
application.

Of~all the subjects treated in the re-
ports made to Governor Frear by the
various departments of the Terrific
rial Government the portion of the re-
port of the president of the Board of
Health in relation to leprosy is prob
ably the most important locally. OF
this the one special report made by
DR.. H. T. Hoffman, the assistant Su-
perintendent of the Molokai Settlement
is of the greatest interest, dealing as
it does in a concise and interesting
manner with the treatment of leprosy
by the use of eucalyptus. This treat
ment DR.. Hoffman states has proved so
beneficial that it has assured the doc
tors that it will cure incipient cases
of the disease.
DR.. Hoffman in the first part Of his
report states that electrical treatments
have been tried ON six different cases
for a period of six months but have
proved to be useless, no benefit result
ing from the applications. He then
takes up the eucalyptus treatment.
The results of the treatment, which
has been taken for the past two years
by about 275 patients have proved to
affect the disease with marked anne
lioration in clinical manifestation"

forts are exhausted.
Achi is also boosting Wise, who he
says practically beat Brown when he
first ran, with only a couple of weeks
campaigning, when Wilcox died sud
denly during the campaign, and Wise
was put up against him.
James H. Boyd, the former superin-
/ tendent OF Pubic Works, is an aspir-
ant out for a senatorship. Boyd ap-
pears to stand an excellent chance of
a nomination in the Republican con-
vention.
John K. Kamanoulu will probably be
a candidate for the House on the Re-
publican ticket. He is Hawaiian
of ability whose friends tried to get
him to run two years ago and this
time he will take up the campaign.
S. F. Chillingworth, who was expect
ed to be a candidate for the House,
has decided not to run. .Ie has de-
clared himself out of the running, and
| will not be on the ticket.
r. w. Shingle, president of the Hem
/
ry Waterhouse Trust Company. will
probably run for the House Shingle
has held back for the reason that holds
many others back,-that he is too
busy,-but the party expects to pur-
suade him to tackle the job. Shingle
will probably be chairman OF the
House finance committee.
Among Civic Federation members
there is considerable discussion OF

275 cases which have taken it regularly
in the form of baths and internal me-
dicine, the death rate has been less
than five per cent and not more than
two per cent of the deaths have re-
suited from leprosy. DR.. Hoffman
states that he is assured that if he
could get a case of the disease in its
early stages, a cure could be effected.
Unfortunately all the cases which have
been treated are from five to twenty
years standing.
The claim made previously that un-
der the eucalyptus treatment leprous
tubercules would disappear, is with
drawn and it is also stated that the
claim that it would cure partial con-
traction of the fingers is not justified
though in the latter instance it will
effect partial relief.
The first mention of this treatment
DR.. Hoffman says was made in DR..
Goodhue's report of 1903, while Hoff'
man himself read a paper on the sub
jet before the Hawaiian Medical As
sociation in 1906. 1t was also dis
cussed in DR.. Goodhue's report of las

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

To many persons Christmas means
plenty to eat, lot of presents, good
time, and what-not Its character as
a religious festival is lost sight of.
The richest part of its meaning Is
lost. The gift of God for mere mans
salvation finds a pitiful counterpart
in the Christmas gifts we take so
much pride in. Let us give more on
the spiritual side. Let us give our
best endeavor as well as our money
Let us spread good cheer by our man.
ner as well as by our gifts. Good,
clean living is better and more last
ing gift to society than jewelry or
fine raiment.
A physician the other day was pc
wailing the Christmas season, which
caused people who owed him to put
of the date of payment in order to
give presents. This should not be so.
Life's duties, and certainly paying
debts Is one of them, are not to be
put after its pleasures. Shame on the
person who makes merry at the ex-
pense Of others

A WORD ABOUT THE sport"

Good, honest, wholesome fun has
an important place in life, but the
over-ripe, ridiculous role which so
many young Negroes essay in an en-
deavor to be considered sport" is
nauseating and useless. Good time"
should not be a medley of drunken.
ness and license. 1t should not pre-
clude work when 1t Is over 1t should
not have such low aspect that peo-
pie who esteem themselves must
leave 1t alone or be considered wick
ed. Then again there is nothing so
pitiful as down-at-the-heel sport"
His tales of large expenditures for
headaches and frumpery are a sorry
protection against the cold and no
solace to an empty stomach. Bring
the boys up to crave good wholesome
fun, but to shun the exaggerated life
of sport"

fairs, it is enough, for he has gone as
far ahead of the common herd as they

is pleasurable surprise. The heat
of the campaign has not yet passed
away, and the memory of the harsh
personal criticism by negroes must
still be fresh in his mind, yet he
speaks out like the man his friends
said he was. The magnitude of his
victory seems in no sense to have
dulled the keenness of his judgment

Thoughtful negroes do not wish to
monopolize the stage of American pol
itics, and recognize we must work out

have expressed fear that there
would be a repetition OF last
years total fruit failure. How

Society, says no such danger yet
exists, and adds: The cold
nights are saving the trees. The
warm, sunny weather is making
the trees look bright, but the
