JOHN c. WOO[tEY ON
GOOD CITIZENSHIP

There was large congregation in
the Methodist church last evening 10

The services were opened by the sing
ing of America" Prayer was offered
by the Rev. David w. Crane. An
anthem by the choir was well rendered
and Miss Dyke sang an inspiring solo,
which quietly pleased the audience
Mr.. Woolley took for his text the
Third Commandment, Thou shalt not
take the name of the Lord thy God in
vain" From it he evolved the subject of
Christian citizenship. He declared that
to keep the commandment meant
more than refrain from swearing,
or using profane language. The in
dividual who Joined a church, or even
upon himself a responsibility which
amounted. in fact, to taking the name
of the Lord. BY such action he as
sumed the duties of a Christian citi-
zen who stands for good government
in every form. Mr.. Woolley then ap-
piled such relation to the legalizing
of the liquor traffic and declared that
every good citizen should use his ut
most endeavor both by prayer, exhor-
tation and ballot, regardless of party
affiliation, to overthrow the legalized
saloon. He further laid the leader
ship of such reform upon the church
and exhorted every Christian to set
a godly example by voting as he prays.

DR.. RAYMOND
On HOMESTEADS
He Discusses Proposed Land
Exchanges and Praises
the Governor.

When DR.. Raymond was asked re-
with the government for lands at Ulu-
palakua, he made the following state
ment, the Maui News says:
Governor Frear has thus far shown
himself to be man of sound business
sense, and in the management of the
affairs OF his office he appears to be
intensely practical.
He is the first Governor of the
Territory who has ever at any time
been on the lands of Kanaio and Ka-
hikinui. He is the first Governor who
has thoroughly looked over the land
of Ulupalakua and the adjacent gov
ernment lands in that neighborhood,
areas of waste lands that run into the
thousands of acres.
Thus it can be easily seen that he
is pursuing the same careful methods
in ascertaining the assets of the gov
ernn1ent as pertains to public lands, as
a shrewd business man would natural
ly do in the requirement of mer-
camille business, in that he insists
upon taking an inventory of the stock
of goods offered him by the seller of
the same, and by SO doing he ascer-
tains definitely the exact status of
the business; knowing the same, he is
prepared to act intelligently.
The Governor, on his tour of in
spection, has learned the truth, and
he now knows that the bona fide agri-
cultural lands of this Territory, save
those lands that are now in use by
the sugar plantations, are by far more
limited in area than any previous ex-
ecutive officer has appeared to know
or would admit, if they did know, and
by far less than the great majority
of the people ever had any idea of.
Exact knowledge of conditions is a
most important factor in making a
proper classification of public lands
for future use and most vital neces-
sity in the formulating of sound land
policy.
Above all things the Governor has
learned for himself that lands hitherto
lauded by the public press and sup
posed by the majority of citizens TO
be agricultural lands, are, in fact,
waste Janus ana only d portion Ol
which can be used as second-class pas
toral lands.
with an exact knowledge of land |
conditions it becomes comparatively |
easy for the Governor and individuals /
to arrive at an understanding, and |
where the individual landowner has
in most every instance thoroughly un-
derstood the conditions as they exist /
ed, and do now exist, the trouble has
been in the past that the officials have
been ignorant, hence meeting on a I
common ground has been almost i'm /
possible in these land exchange cases.
THE proposition to be submitted to
the government by the Raymond
Ranch is to turn lover to the govern
ment large tract of agricultural land
that was formerly used for the culti
vation of sugar cane by the late Cap
tain Makee at Ulupalakua, the very

WHO'S WHO.

The latest political gossip is to the
worked up as sort of mutual benefit
hui between John c. Lane, who can
not forget that he wants to be Mayor;
Carlos A Long. with an eye to the
County Attorneyship, and Paul Jar
rett, who expects the Democratic non-
ination for Sheriff. The three are said
to be working among the alumni of
ST Louis College and enlfsting workers
to go into the highways and the by
ways and boost the trinity, advocating
secret scratchings. But John Lane is
a friend of Charley Chillingworth and
it is reported with a great show of
authority that Charley wants to be
Sheriff himself. notwithstanding John
Wise and hfs hopes.
The announcement of Chief Taylor
that Sheriff Iaukea will be in the fight
leads to the one conclusion that he will
be his party nominee for Mayor. In
fact, he is the only one mentioned with
any regularity for that position. while
among the Republicans the number of
prospective candidates for the nomi-
nation are a dozen, commencing with
Jack Atkinson and running down to
Charley Achi, and including such good
timber as Jack Lucas and Charley
Hustace.

AN ANOMALY In LIQUOR
IN THE COUNTY OF KAUAI

The Garden Island, March %: When
the Kauai liquor commission assumed
its duties it formulated its policy on
clear lines, and these were drawn SO
as to suppress as far as possible the
pernicious traffic going on in the sew
erA plantation camps. Among the
measures taken to that effect was the
agreement, the fulflment of which was
to be considered as proof whether
or not dealer was fit applicant for
future renewals of his license. This
agreement stipulated that he should re-
frain from soliciting orders in camps.
So far as can. be ascertained those
holding licenses here on Kauai have
abided by the agreement, but it has
not worked the way it was expected to.
There is nothing to prohibit drum
mer for Honolulu house from going
into every camp between Polihale and
Haena Point and pushing the goods of
his house. He is not under any agree
ment and takes no risks. And he
makes full use of his opportunity to
sell without the competition of the
Kauai houses.
Looking at this situation from the
point of the one who desires to restrict
the traffic, it is twelve of one kind and
a dozen of the other whether a Ho-
nolulu or a Kauai house furnishes the
obnoxious fluid.
Viewing the situation from the point
of the man who wants to see fair play,
it certainly presents a distorted pie
ture.
The country merchant whose licenses
to carry on trade amount to nearly
one hundred dollars a year is debarred

from approaching his regular custom
ers, while the lguor man from whom
the county derives no benefit in any
shape or manner may without competi-
tioa flood every camp on Kauai with
cheap liquor.
While the Kauai licensees carry on
liquor business pure and simple, the
Honolulu drummer as a rule represents
several different lines, on all of which
he makes a certain amount of profit
and can therefore afford to take low
er percentage Of gain on each of them.
He realizes this and with a view of
eventual future competition he offers
his wares at such price that in event
of the removal of the restrictions a
change of patronage would be very un-
likely.
At 65 cents a gallon a man can get
81 per cent more Dago Red than at
81 gallon. Those are the prices be-
fore and after the introduction of the
agreement and the percentage is about
the increase in the amount of liquor
that found and finds its way into the
camps ante and post bellum. Whether
or not the extra quantity represents
liquor or simply delusion is difficult
to tell unless one tastes it, but the
fact remains that the red or brown
flood has risen considerably.
Now, do not the Liquor Commission
ers think it is up to them either to
find a means whereby the Honolulu
liquor dealer can be shut out of the
camps as effectively as those from
whom they collect $1,000 a year in ex-
change for a permission to carry on
remove the obstacles for the Kauai
men3

A Republican Dilemma.

There is one fact made actually plain
by the Republicans in their attempt
to tie the hands of the Democratic
members of Congress; and that is, that
any bill which the majority of the Re-
pubIicans really want passed can be
put through even without debate and
with only one roll-call. That fact dem
onstrates all that the Democratic 'fili-
buter," as the Republicans term it,
was intended to demonstrate. If,
then. the Republicans do not pass the
reform and remedial legislation recon-
mended by the President it must be be-
cause they do not approve it, On the
stump last fall, how can the Republi-
can members defend their course, when
their national platform endorses Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his policies? They
are in dilemma.

Foolish Threats.

And 'now the New York World seeks
to bring Southern Democrats to its
way OF thinking by the threat to re-
duce, Southern representation in Con-
gress. In an editorial entitled "A
Warning to the South the World con-
cluies in this way:
eff the Southern States expect to
stay rid of the negro vote and maintain
their present basis OF representation,
they must help rehabilitate the Demo
cratic party in the North and West.
The Ohio platform is what the World
said it was--'a warning to the South. ,
The South is not obliged to heed the
warning. but if the Southern Demo
Gratis again allow populism to control
the National Convention, if they per-
NIT the nomination of Mr.. Bryan,
thereby sending the party to another
disastrous defeat, they will have to
take the consequence of their folly"
The World has grown desperate, in
deed, If it imagines that it can
threaten Southern Democrats into the
support of plu.ocratic influences.

A Heavy Load.

1t seems that Caleb Powers has got
to figure in everything the Republicans
Of Kentucky do. The burning issue
in the Eleventh District is whether
Edwards the present Congressman, is
Powers friend or not. The chief
claim of the supporters of Fairbanks is
that he is Powers friend. Wherever
a Republican asks for anything, he only
qualification he needs to have is that he
is Powers friend. If this continues
Powers will prove to be the heaviest
load the Republican party ever carried,
and its members, will soon begin to
plead with the people to forget it.

undue FavOritism.' -

Several years ago 1t was reported
that Andrew Carnegie had offered to
pay 2O,OOO,OO0 for the Philippine
Islands, provided he was permitted to
assure the Filipinos that they would
be given their independence.
Commenting upon this story, the
Chicago Tribune said that the steel
magnate ''has tried the patience Of his
friends. severely in some of his late
bids for notoriety." 1t expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Carnegie is constantly
posing, and said she has scattered
libraries throughout the country. all of
which are to be called for him., and
everyone of them is a contribution to
the conscience fund.
Then the Tribune said: "Mr. Car
neige made his money in a magnificent
way, but he should never forget thatshe
made it through the undue favoritism
of the government of the United
States. Owing to the discrimination
practiced in his favor by the tariff, he
was enabled to amass a fortune of

in every Presidential campaign and
Congressional campaign. been financed
by the men to whom they have granted
