SPORT AND
SPARKLES

Jack Scully last night received a cable
from San Francisco to the effect that
Reilly and Lahey, both well known in
Honolulu, last evening fought fifteen
round draw. In Honolulu Reilly got
disputed decision over Lahey.
The Kalanianaole Baseball League
held its regular monthly meeting last
evening.
The league took up the matter of a
dance on New Years Eve, a benefit
affair 1t was left with the following
committee: Will Prestige, Chairman;
E. S. Kong, A. K. Vierra and Fred
Luning. 1t will be tip-top affair.
1t is now alleged that the reason of
Ayres' wonderful training with Dem
sham, on the waterfront, is for three
quarter mile race from King street
and Kalakaua avenue to the Waikiki
Inn on Sunday, December 10, when
Matt Heffern and Bill Mccormick will
be competitors with the editor of the
Pacific Weekly. Jack Densham, The
Jingler, according to The Tiser, is not
in it. His Jinglets is modest, for the
fact of the matter is that he will chal-
lenge the winner. 1t should also be
stated that there is a refreshing prize
at the end of the straight toe-and-heel
go. The race will start at II o'clock
in the morning and the road should
be lined with spectators who should
refrain from cheering too loud, for it
will be Sunday. Don't crowd the con-
testants and don't josh the actors.
Matt Heffern, who weighs only 1853
pounds, has a stride on him which
permits him to wait on clients at both
ends of the bar almost simultaneously
Mccormick ought to be a close sec
ond. AS for Ayres, he is a dark horse,
speaking metaphorically, for everybody
knows he is a blonde. Don't put too
much money on the blonde, for Matt
Heffern has it all cut out to win. The
Advertiser makes a mistake in saying
that Ayres walked from Hongkong to
Tibet in the dark ages, for it was from
Shanghai to Vladivostok that he did
the little stunt. The race is sure
enough coming off and there should be
big crowd on foot and bicycles and
in automobiles and rigs to see the
fun. Densham will hold the watch
and. as before stated, he will chal-
lenge the winner.

Bailie Waggener is being ridi-
Culed great deal because he was
one of the main guys to pull w. !.
Bailey into the race for governor.
But, considering the matter from
its legitimate view point, Mr.. Wag-
gener was working within his
sphere. While Dominally a demo.
Crat and member of the state SEN
ate, he voted with the railroad
compact and the republican ma.
chine on every important measure
considered at the last session of the
Legislature. He has never been In
harmony with the democratic plat
form and was always supporting
by deed and voice the worse ele-
tnent in the republican party. He
is general attorney for the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company and is
probably bound to support the ma
chine republicans now, henceforth
and forever.

The present editor of the Cresset
did not do the editorial work on
the paper at the time of the rail
road bond election of 1905 and is
therefore excusable for not know
ing what promises were made to
the people of Barber county in the
event of eXtention of aid for rail-
road building. Those of us who
were here at the time and assisted
in voting the bonds have distinct
recollection of everything that was
promised and only those who are
short on vertebrae will be satisfied
with the service as it now is. The
Index proposes to agitate this ques-
ton until the public gets relief.
The innocent purchaser" racket is
too ancient and threadbare to af.
ford an excuse. The aid was ex-
tended, the people are entitled to
the service.

The ultimatum given out by w.
A. Harris that he will not again
become the democratic candidate
for governor of Kansas should be
accepted by the party as final. 1t
can no longer be argued that Mr..
Harris owes anything to the party.
If he ever did feel an obligation,
that obligation was discharged tri-
fold in the memorable campaign of
1906. He reduced the republican
plurality from 10000 to 1000 in a
period of two years, and many be-
lieve that but for a little sharp
practice-in delaying returns in a
few counties, he would have come
out with several thousand in his
favor. To do this MIR. Harris made
a tremendous personal and finan-
cial sacrifice and is deservant of
something more substantial at the
party's disposal than the office of
governor.

A Marion, Ohio, dispatch to the
Washington Herald follows: 'Pres-
ldent Roosevelt was flayed as AFRO
CANT, and as guilty of the unpar-
donable sin of ingratitude.' This
was in reference to his opposition
to Senator ]. B. Foraker, who is
credited with having turned the
Ohio delegation to him in 1900,
over Mark Hanna's wishes. These
remarks were made in an interview
here this evening by William Z.
Davis, the Ohio supreme court JUS
tice. Justice Davis said: This is
not the first time in the history of
the republican party that a vice
president who was made president
by the work of an assassin has used
all the power and influence Of the
government to avenge himself on
those who have ventured to have
views of their own, and to force
my policy on the party of the ma
tion. Some of US have not forgot
ten Andrew Johnson Justice Dav-
is turned to praise Senator Foraker
and slipped in a reference to the
delivery of Ohio to Roosevelt and
his opinion of the presidents OPP
position to Foraker. He said: If
my vote would make Senator For
aker president, he would be chief
executive, for ] believe he would be
a safe and sane and big president,
who would engage in no wild cru
sades and would administer to the
high Office in the interest of all
classes. He certainly would not
be guilty of the objectionable sin
of ipgratitude.' "

Perhaps it is true, as Gov. Hoch
says, that he has had assurances
from a majority of the members of
the legislature that they will sup
port a primary law and a deposit
guaranty law, but it is altogether
likely that they omitted to say what
kind. If anything at all is done in
this direction, it will be in the way
of a makeshift weakling, just as
was done at the regular session.

The following editorial recently
appeared in the Omaha (Neb. Bee,
a republican paper: I" Let the tar
iff on wood pulp and paper remain
and the more newspapers killed the
merrier, says Congressman Serene
Z. Payne of New York, chairman
of the house committee on ways
and means. Mr.. Payne's chief dis
tinction lies in the fact that he is
Recognized by the speaker every
day to make the motion to ad-
journ." Replying to this statement
the Omaha World Herald says:
"Softly, neighbor, softly. This re-
publican leader who SCOTS the
more newspapers killed the mer-
rier' does something more than
make the motions to adjourn in the
house. He is chairman of the most
important house committeeman
on ways and means, and is floor
leader of the republican side. In
other words, next to Speaker Can
non himself, he is the most inhuen-
tial and important republican
member of the house. TheWorld-
Herald does not wonder that its
contemporary, disguised at the
boorishness of Mr.. Payne, should
try to detra9 from his importance
in the councils of his party. But
the fact remains that this man who
says the more newspapers killed
the merrier' is no obscure, cross
roads leader, but SO great power
in the house that, together with
the speaker, and one or two others,
he controls absolutely the activi.
ties of that body. Mr.. Payne, it is
hardly necessary to say,is a famous
standpatter. That explains his glee
when he sees the tariff Gripping
newspapers. For he knows that
newspapers, as instruments of pub.
1icity, constitute, whether willing
or not, the most potent foe with
which robber tariff has to con-
tend"
