The council proceedings were
well under way now. and. while in
tersting, practically nothing was
done. AS spectacular comedy 1t
was highly diverting, but that was
all there was to it-flowers, horse
play, applause and many serio-
, comic efforts in the speech-making
line. The mayors party enjoyed it
greatly; and at the conclusion there
was a little unappreciated COMEDY
that was out of the usual line. Miss
Hadley and Miss Dale both tatrned
to greet Darnell as he approached
Miss Hadley was looking saBelf-
conscious, for she was UNDER the
impression that he had guessed
from whom that single rose came,
and she was in a humor to make
the necessary admission, If he ac-
cused her of it. But Miss Dale
was the nearer to him, and she was
the first to speak.
THANK you so much for these
beautiful roses?" she exclaimed.
He gave her a quick, searching
glance, as he made an appropriate
reply, but her face expressed
| nothing except pleasure.
That settles it." he said to him
self. EFF the single red rose were
from her, she would have surmised
that I suspected it when she re-

surely betray her now, if her words
didn't. Who can have sent them?
He turned to Miss Hadley, but
her greeting was very formal.

same hard sense to their own love
affairs that they apply to those of
others, there would be few misun-
derstandings. but they do not.
Miss Hadley had flowers with
which Stanley Fisher had very
properly provided her, and there
was no good reason why Darnell
should not send some to Miss Dale.
Miss Hadley had no need of addi-
tional flowers and one always hest
tates to send them to a girl who

WHEN Is A VOTE NOT A VOTE?
"A man said:

Its all right to talk about the majesty of the ballot
It's all right to tell that the for trusts
and bossism and crookedness is the indvua vote It's
all right to say that the remedy for everything is in the
hands of the people, but how the people going to get
at it,
GAS a municipal voter vote for this man or that
| do the thing citizen of the county and
state. AS national citizen, L keep on voting for this
that man. | don't for things; only vote for
people with party labels them I'm plenty old enough
to know that parties don't anything. party can
stand for different things in dozen years than
centipede has feet What chance have | got? Two or
three political rings cut and dry everything and hand
them to me- and say Take one don't want to vote for
Smith Brown or Thompson. want to vote for definite
things, and want to be able to direct result
from my vote Do get it? do not My individual vote
doesn t even get elbow There's much red tape
and politics and machinery that by the time the result of
vote gets back to its mother wouldn know it.
That's the think all this talk about the power of
every mans ballot is all bosh.''
There's good deal of truth in this.
That's the many cities and states putting
a wheel in their governmental machine.
That wheel is called the initiative and referendum
What does it mean? 1t government for, of and
by the people direct. Today party goes in
pledged to certain broad and generally vague policies
How they carry out these policies is their business. What
position they take thousands of others is also their
business They don't consult you The council passes 100
ordinances the Legislature enacts 1000 laws. Nobody
asks you Perhaps they leave unenacted which
about it? Even worse, man pledged to certain things
repudiates his promise. Where is your recourse? You
wait until the next election along; that all
Always there innumerable things, city county, state
and national which the people have decided views yet
out of 100 issues you lucky if you get to vote
And still every Of believes that the opinion of the
people ought to be the law of the land.
This is the first thing secured by the initiative and
referendum.
1t to the people the right propose enact and
reject laws.
For example, in Oregon per cent of the legal voters
may file petition with the secretary of state giving the
full text of proposed law This is submitted to the peo
pie If majority approve it, it law and the governor
cannot veto it. This is the niave On the other hand
l5 cent of the voters petition for ballot any
enactment of the legislature, meaning that nothing
stand law except what the people want as law
This is the referendum
Some one said to Gladstone ''The people not al
ways right" 'No'' replied the great statesnan ''bu
they seldom wrong
From time to time shall tell you more of this great
movement.
In the meantime, think about it.
What would it mean to you today if the people of
themselves could curb the power of the food trust?

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Dr. Ben L..

the sight of the 100000 starving
unemployed of Chicago.
Defying the orders OF the police
who had dared him. he led $4,000
ill-clothed, unfed, shivering men in
march through Chicago's down
town streets. He outwitted and
outgeneraled Chief Shippy, and be-
came the first martyr of the
"bread riot" by going to jail.
But he accomplished his pur-
pose, which was to call the atten-
ton of the public to the condition
of Chicago's unemployed hordes.
Immediately after the clubbing
of the inoffensive bands led by
Reitman and his own arrest, Chi
cago bankers got together and

Dear Sir: I hereby make application
for the lease of the forests on such OF
the government lands of Kona and
Kau as may be now available or to
become available during the term Of
the lease herein applied for, including
the right to cut and lumber the same
subject to the supervision and ap-
prevail of the Territorial Forester. For
this lease or stumpage license I offer
as rent or royalty four per centum

rived from or on account of the leased

I propose as an earnest of good faith

dition be attached of the completion

the beginning of actual milling oper-

West Hawaii Railroad plans to effect
uate its railroad communication to

obtain sufficient interest in the Kona

reasonable ground for confidence that
the railroad enterprise will eventually
be financially sound. Such interest

coed constructing Immediately the ex-
listing unprecedented financial strin-
gency is relieved. Only under the most
favorable circumstances are the time

development of rail transportation and
am sure you will regard the present
proposition as furnishing to the gov
eminent an ideal method of enabling
the best development of Kona and Kau

sections of the islands.

sideration of the foregoing, I remain.
