Washington, D. c., June 10.-Just
now the Republican politicians will
tell you on the one hand that the op-
position to the nomination of Secre-
tary Taft Is disintegrating and on the
other that this disintegration irresist-
IDLY signifies the denomination IF
President Roosevelt There can be
no denial Of the disintegration, but
there is lively chance for dispute as
to its meaning
Senator Aldrich Of Rhode Island has
declared that Taft will be nominated
and that there will be no stampede to
Roosevelt This is significant 1t IS
now also reported that Senator w.
Murray Crane of Massachusetts, the
/ field marshal Of those allies who have
been seeking to defeat the secretary
OF war, is also getting ready to swing
into the Taft line. 1t is reported that
Senator Crane has met the overtures
Of the Taft forces in a manner which
leads to the belief that he will event
ually come over.
a great deal will depend upon the
action Of Senator Crane. He has been
opposed to the nomination OF Secre.
tary Taft from the start. Because of
his prominence in national affairs and
his wide acquaintance, he became
logically the pooh bah of the combined
forces, which have for months been
putting up desperate death struggle
with Taft's boomers. If Crane swings
into the Taft line 1t will be all over
but the shouting, because the combin-
alton in that event would mean the
solid vote Of New England for Taft on
the first ballot and would end the
possibility of further question as to
the secretary's nomination.
The situation which seems to be de.
veloping, however, must not be at,
tributed to any increased stock of at
lection or magnetism in the Taft cam.
paign. 1t is not that these men love
Taft more, but that they love Roose.
welt less. In other words, Washing
ton politicians will tell you that
Roosevelt's name is now proving a
help to Taft in a brand new fashion
First, it won all of Roosevelts' admir-.
ers to the Taft standard and now ii
seems destined to win all of Roose
yelt's opponents to the Taft standard
Solely because it now seems that the
domination must go to one of the
two men--Taft or Roosevelt. In 9th
er words, many Of the allies who have
been opposing Taft now see that their
opposition Is working as a boomerang

called a compromise, although it gives
Mr.. Taft everything that he could
ask, including the entire vote of the
delegation.
In spite of the fact that the secre-
tary of war was given everything in
sight in this compromise, his closest
supporters in the committee, includ-
ing Ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick of
Ohio, stood against it, the decision be-
ing reached by a vote of 80 to 20.
Protest by Hitchcock.
Frank H. Hitchcock was protesting
against the uncompromising compro-
mise before the committee met in the
morning, but a statement that Mr..
Taft and the president, had acquiesced

Lodge of Massachusetts was quoted as
authority for it.
Time was limited, but the Taft
managers determined to ascertain be-
yond all doubt if the president con.
sented to the compromise, and sent
a telegram of inquiry to the White
House. The reply came too late for
us, even if the committee were in a
mood to abandon cherished program
for the reconstruction of Louisiana
Republican affairs.
The text of the telegram has not
been given out with any literalness
but the following portion is warranted
to be as nearly letter correct as could
be possible without being labeled a
copy:

mise in the Louisiana case is desired

1t is expected that the Mariana will

in which case the Kubelik concert will
be given at the Hawaiian Opera House

This will be the greatest musical event
in the history of Honolulu for twenty

There was a great demonstration
among the children who arrived in
the steamer Likelike on Saturday af-
ternoon as Honolulu harbor was ap-
preached. Many of the young ones,
nonleprous children of leprous parents,
brought here to be housed away from
Settlement associations, had never
before seen this island, and some of
them, indeed, had never thought Of
any land but Molokai.
Honolulu Ioomed up to their youth
ful eyes as great and magnificent
city, much as New York or London or
Paris would seem to the vision Of a
man from Honolulu who had never be-
fore been off the Isle of Oahu.
The children, thirty-one boys and
four girls, range in age from two to
fifteen years, and there were a good
number among them old enough to ap-
preciate the situation.
There was. too. sorrow at leaving
Molokai; but here on this island there
are the friends of parents who will
often call to see them and wfn do much
toward being fathers and mothers to
them. In any event. they will be well
cared for.

Well Known Chinese Pastor
Succumbs to Prevalent
Malady.

God Kim Fui, one of the most prom

away at his home on Liliha street yes.
terday afternoon, after a very short
illness. The family was at his bed
side.
on Thursday evening last he held
his usual service at the Aala Mission
but was not feeling very well and his
family did not wish him to go out.
on his return home he was taken with
a chill, and Friday was much worse.

LOOKS MORE AND
MORE LIKE TAFT 7
Friends of the Secretary Think
All Is About Over but
the Shouting.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, April 20.-Every
passing day is adding some definite
knowledge to the Presidential nomina-
tion campaign conditions. Men are be-
coming wiser politically every time the
sun goes down. The table makers have
some new figures to put down nearly
every twenty -four hours, and besides
there are significant signs here and
there which make representations
easier.
Some people think there will be
nothing but shouting to do after two
weeks have passed These are not all
the adherents of Secretary of War
William Howard Taft. There is a
growing readiness to concede his nomi-
nation in all the fortified camps of
Presidential candidates. The import
anee that attaches to a probable Pres
identfal nominee and to a possible pros
pective President is attaching to the
Secretary of War. The campaign is
plainly entering upon a new era. The
watchful politicians almost uncon-
sciously indicate it by their attitude of
increasing Difference to the genial, good
natured, industrious head of the War
Department.
The throngs at the War Department
evidence it by their more reverential
bearing in the Secretary s presence.
The throngs elsewhere in Washington,
where the Secretary permeates, evi-
dence it. The workers begin to talk
about "Bill Taft which, if he is
nominated, will be his campaign name
with the masses. The Democrats are
beginning to level their guns at him,
which is not without significance. Mr..
Bryan has begun paying his respects
to him, the while he ignores the other
Republican aspirants The other day,
it is worth noting, Mr.. Taft went to
Chicago, where the convention is to
be held, and fraternized with the citi-
zens for a season. Look out for howl
ing, reiterating, insistent Taft gal
leries at that convention: for the Sec
retary is popular in the Windy City
and more popular there since his re-
cent VISIT.
Then he pushed on into Nebraska,
where the probable Democratic nomi-
nee resides, and very probably he did
not make that pilgrimage without
Eliminating on the helpful effects 1t
might have with the people few
months later on when he could not
visit the State without it being very
apparent that he was on a vote getting
tour. And as soon as the Secretary
got out into the Western country he
took long-distanee shot at the Peer
less One. and the Peerless One return
ed the compliment
FRANKLY, the washington observers
who are generally pretty keen about
such things, think it will be about all
over by the end of April. The Taft
boom is unquestionably growing, grow
ing daily in different sections of the
country. This growth presages an very
tame convention at Chicago, although
q few months ago it was generally ex-
pected that it would be the liveliest,
scrappiest, most interesting convention
in twenty-five years. The telegraph
companies are curtailing their prepara
tions for handling hundreds of thou
sands of words of newspaper copy every
twenty-four hours that the convention

Go TO Work.

Young man go to work. There
is no time to be idle now. You
must carve out your own way if
it is ever successfully carved.
You must carve out your own
way through energy, persever-
ance and pluck. Labor is honor
able, and the ignoble are those
who will not work. Get you a
home. Fence field and pillow it
and plant it, and gather around
you the comforts of home. And
when you have made a character
for energy and thrift, ask some
young lady to share your home
with you. We would say to every
young lady, mark these men who
are lounging around attempting
to live by their wits, or on the
interest of their debts; and when
they ask you to share the lot of
an aimlesS life, pass them on, for
you cannot afford to marry a
man without prosperity or bust
ness habits, unless you wish to
sell yourself for mess of pot
tage. Again we would reiterate,
young man, go to work. While
ten men watch for chances, one
man makes a chance. While ten
men wait for something to turn
up, one turns something up; so
while ten fail one succeeds and is
called a man of luck, the favorite
of fortune. Luck and fortune is
the result of honest endeavor,
work and toll and if you would
succeed, go to work. Elk.

travelling had stopped at small

by the youth if he knew that the

train.
Immediately the man showed
great interest and said:
No, is he:"
Il think he is not, answered
Stephens. Il only asked if you
knew that he was.
