ALSO A DISTINGUISHED MAN.
Baseball Spectator Not Behind Players
in Distinction.

Baseball is a chronic complaint of
Senator Crane. When he was gov
erpor of Massachusetts, he took his
entire staff out for a drive and sur
prised them by having the rigs pull
up at an open field and announcing
there was to be baseball game. Two
mines were chosen and the game be-
gan. Pretty soon somebody came
along the road.
What teams are they?' he asked of
one of the drivers.
why, that man pitching is the gov
ernor of Massachusetts" the driver re-
piled. "Tbe one catching is the lieu
tenant governor. The first baseman is
a congressman, the second baseman
is the judge advocate general"
Say" interrupted the passerby,
perhaps you would like to know who
am. I'm Napoleon Bonaparte."

The display of fine stock and farm pro-

great possibilities of a county fair. Enlist
the farmers of Craig county in this enter
prise and Vinita can have an annual
county fair that would be a hummer.

him down he declared that it was a

PLANTED TO PINES {

PLANTED TO PINES
A meeting of the Hilo Fruit Com
pany was held ON Monday afternoon
and everything was reported to be in
order to begin the summer campaign
just as soon as the pines come
along. The factory has contracted
with the Hilo Pineapple Planting
Company for sound fruit, tops on,
weighing three pounds and over de-
livered, $27 per ton of 1000 lbs, for
the summer crop, and S22 for the
winter crop. Other growers can re-
ceive the same.
1t is estimated that there are only
little more than fifty acres planted
to pines near Hilo, and the factory
is able to handle far more fruit than
is offered unless a number of UNI
known growers come along. BY run
ming full time the cannery can do
better than when on part time and
can afford to pay the high prices of.
fered for the pines, but If the grow
ers do not help the factory then il
may be impossible to maintain pre-
sent rates. 1t is a case OF coopera
ton needed and, as pines are a pro
fitable crop, the acreage planted
should be enough to KEEP the fac
tory umming-Hawaii Herald.

strong factor in the Democratic party
and it will be very close between hin

however that the Republican party
will consider very carefully the com,

DIRECT LINE FROM
HILO TO REDOND0
Advocated by President Garnsey of
Los Angeles and Redondo
Railroad.
ADVANTAGEOUS TOURIST ROUT
Southern California Can Supply Both
Merchandise and Agricultural
Products.

HILO May 29-"That a direct
steamship line between Hawaii and
Southern California would develop
business and passenger traffic, and
be made to pay, l am convinced
So said Mr.. l.. r. Garnsey, presi-
dent of the Los Angeles and Redondo
railroad, when he was in the Her
aid office last week with Mr.. James
B. Castle The Los Angeles and Re
dondo road is Huntington property,
and it has connections with the San
ia Fe which uses its wharf terminals
i'll Redondo so that our ohia ties will
be handled there from ship to car.
"Redondo," continued Mr.. Garnsey,
has been built up by Eastern people
and capital. We get tourists now from
all over the world, ten where we used
to get one, and most of them are peo-
pie of wealth. Los Angeles is the
winter terminus for tourists. 1t would
be great feature for us, as well as
fCf you, if there were line of pas
senger steamers direct from South
ern California to Hawaii. We would
have an extra attraction to offer in
few days trip across the Pacific,
and to see your volcano.
my idea would be to have three
comfortable boats in commission, so
! that passengers would know positive
| ly when they could return. A bus
ness man has his engagements to
keep and must get back He cannot
afford to take chances. Boats about
tie size of the Mauna Kea only with
more freight room, say 1000 instead
of 600 tons. The passenger accom-
mediation could be enlarged if neces-
sary by utilizing space on the pro-
lnenade deck.
From Los Angeles to San Fran
cisco and return costs $2S; from San
Francisco to Honolulu and return
costs $145, total of $173 between
Hawaii and Southern California. By
the direct route, the round trip fare
need only be $125, a saving of almost
$50 with less travel and, / imagine
generally a finer trip for the rough
weather between here and Southern
California would naturally be near
the shore on each side.
with a full passenger list there
should be $4,000. With 1908 tons
Of freight, another $4,000, say $40,
900 for a round trip in thirty days
In tho way of merchandise Southern
California can now furnish you from
its large factories, also all the fruits
hay, barley and other feedstuffs that
you need. By the systems of irrl
cation now in effect, desert lands
have become productive and I neeC
only instance Imperial City with IT,
thousands of acres of hay and barley
far more than we need for our sup
ply. You buy these things from the
north, and it takes you longer and
costs you more to get them. Again
there is the Santa FEES fast freight
service of seven and eight days from
New YORK to Redondo.
II am quite sure that a profitable
business could be built up between
this Territory and Southern Califor
mia and 1 wish the people of Hilc
could be induced to look into the adj
vantages of handling their own
goods, Hawaii Herald

NEW YORK
POLITICS
A CAPITALIST WHO THINKS THAT
TAFT CANNOT BE ELECTED
PRESIDENT.

Il do not think that VIM. H. Taft is
strong enough to carry the Republican
party to victory this year. The only
man that l think could do it is Charles
W. Hughes, Governor of New York. %
This and other statements were made
by w. E. Guerin, New York capital
list, on board the Nippon Maru Just be-
fore she sailed today for the Coast.
Il think that the Republican party is
on the eve of a great crisis, and the
only man that can win for the G.. o. p.
is Hughes. Taft or Roosevelt cannot
win this year against Bryan. Taft
will be unable to carry the colored
vote, and those that voted once for
Roosevelt in large number of cases
will vote for Bryan this year.
Roosevelt is anxious to have Taft
| elected, so that he can continue tC run
the country and that is exactly what
would happen if Taft was elected
Governor Hughes has made the best
governor New York has ever had, and
l would like very much to see him gel
the nomination and be elected.
IF by any chance Taft was elected
Hawaii would suffer very much in my
mind as he loves the Philippines toe
much, and they will get the best OF
everything. l do not think that Roose.
welt would at the present time consent
to have anyone but Taft nominated
but he may see his mistake before the
convention.
There has been some talk that there
would be a stampede az the convention
in favor of Roosevelt, but ii there is
to be any stampede it will be in favor
of Hughes, l thinK Both TiSft anc
Roosevelt would rather see Hughes
run than to know that the party would
be defeated.

Tax
Increase
MORE THAN S67,O0O IN TAXEs
COLLECTED THE FIRST FIVE
MONTHS OF 1905 OVER l.u,.

The taxes which have been collect
ed in the past five months in the Ter
ritory run far over those collected for
a similar period last year. The result
is naturally a most gratifying one. not
only to the various tax collectors OF
the four divisions of the Territory but
to Treasurer Campbell. on whose
shoulder the responsibility tor the
work rests.
In the five months commencing with
January and ending with May, OF 1917,
the sum of S972,029. 80 was collected.
ent year the sum has been piled up
till it reaches a total of S1039. 115 81
an increase of SGT 0S652
There is only one district whtcn has
failed to come UP to the work done in
| the past. he luurth division, composed
of Kauai and Niihau. In this division
for the five months mentioned the re-
ceipts amounted to 1925. 299.20 in 1907.
and dropped to $119, 3G4.27 in 1909. a
loss of about $4,000 A small remit
lance is still expected from Kauai. On
the other hand the rest of the divisions
have all done better. Oahu, under e..
T. Wilder. the new tax assessor. leads
the list, with a gain OF almost 100000.
The second division, that including
the islands of Maui, Molokai and La
mai, gained approximately $4,000. and
Hawaii gained over 81. 600.
1t is interesting to note that the
collections this year were made earlier
than was the case in 1907, and While
the amounts total much larger, the
collections for the month of May were
smaller as a rule than those of the
previous year. On this island the May
collections of 1907 were S42S,649 80
while this year they were only $41S.-
O6O 50. This was more than made VI
for, though, IN the months of Feb
ruary, March and April. The same
thing holds good with the other divi
sions, with the exception of Hawaii.
The following table shows the re-
ceipts as they totaled for the com
parison of the two years:

Are the saloons responsible for the fact that it's almost impossible on any night. more especially on Saturday night, to walk along the street with out pumping into drunken men-yes. and drunken women tdrunken women are dreadful creatures:) and are they responsible for the fact that decent woman when obliged to ride on the electric car must be crowded up against drunken men who engage in and sometimes address to theml lan- guage which is not it for an immoral man to hear? How disgusting it is to man who gives any thought 10 the morals of his children to be obliged al times to enter. with his or children, car occupied by drunks.

Then the saloons were re- turned and hard times began to come. After eight years trial of saloons we found ourselves without money in our city treasury, in fact in bad shape financially Our county once more voted out saloons and now we are out of debt, and most people are prosper ous and satisfied and under no con- sideration want saloons back in Brink ley again.

 We are unalterably opposed 10 the enactment of license laws, because such laws are wrong in principle and intellectual as means of restraint. We will not be content with any sys- tenn of leyying tribute upon this cor rupt traific. We demand its entire destruction and to the accomplish ment Of this result we pledge our best endeavor. The Church of God should be always and everywhere the courageous, hopeful and unfiinching foe of this enemy of all things pure and good, and should continue its warfare until. like the crime of slavery, the saloon has become a thing of the past.
