STILL WINNING

In a slow game of baseball played
at Makiki ground yesterday the Ka
ahumanus defeated the Aliiolanis in
the Junior intercollegiate League by
the score of Ill.,
The Aliiolanis played poor game
which was due to the lack Of prac-
tiSe.
The Kaahumanus showed up well
both with the stick and in fielding.
Three errors were credited to them.
J. Woo was in the box for the losers
but could not prevent the Kaahuma-
nus from winning.
So far the Kaahumanus have not lost
a single game this season, either in
the league or abroad.

Poss ible LEGISLATION.


The long session of the Sixtieth
congress is practically half NEEDED but
out of its labors have come nothing
except a mighty lot Of wrangling and
some good speeches. The president
has Ihombarded both houses with
messages which have created sensa-
tions, but produced no legislation OF
any sort. Not one act awaits the pres
dental OsignatureI Indeed not one
bill of general importance has yet
come from the senate TO the house,
or gone from the house to the senate,
IL has been a session of great talk
and little accomplishment, and this,
Notwithstanding the fact that the re-
publican majority in both chambers
is big enough to carry with a heavy
hand any legislation which it de
sired to put through.
But more, with all this power, with
not merely the majority in the house,
but with the speakers power added,
and with an enormous majority in
the senate, the republicans have thus
far made absolutely no effort to give
effect to any of the presidents re
concentrations. This is the more ex-
traordinary, because upon certain OF
these issues presented so vigorously
by President Roosevelt, the demo
Gratis in the house frankly promised
their votes to make up for any loss
through republican detection. Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa announced nearly
two weeks ago that the gentlemen on
his side of the house would enact
into law all that the president de-
manded. Thus far not one step in
this direction has been taken, and
now the republican majority is talk
| ing Of an adjournment about the mid.
die OF May.

ed, and at which delegates to the
national convention of both parties
are chosen, More than that, it is
significant that the majority in con
gress, knowing that 1t will be held
responsible for the record made when
the election comes, desires to make
as brief and non-committal a record
as possible. The idea of doing moth.
ing in the long session preceding an
election is very popular. II is not
made less popular by the recollection
OF the fact that the session succeed,

defeat in the convention will leave
many sore places among the repub-

no following there whatsoever. Posi-
bly, Speaker Cannon might make

Total amount Of expense growing

VuL bl WdT s.....s SfJN,OVV, tND
Here are estimates amounting to
practically a half billion dollars per
annum for purely military purposes,
fully per cent of all the expenses
of the government for the fiscal
year ending June 30. 1909. There is
not another government in the world
that invests so heavily in militaris.n
in a time of peace. Yet. at best the
United States is only second as a
naval power and so far down the list
as land power that it scarcely
counts
Other nations which feel compelled
to maintain great military establish
ments invariably practice the strict
est economy in their expenditures.
They build warships at a minimum
cost and their army expenses are
cut to the lowest notch. Uncle Sam
seems to think that he must spend
money like a profligate in order to
impress the people and the world
with his wealth. He is much like the
rich fool who lighted u cigar with
a twenty dollar note just to show
that he had money.
The laxness of the pension policy
has been disgrace To the govern.
ment for generation There are
hundreds and thousands of men each
of whom have drawn thousands OF
dollars from the federal treasury
who never fired a musket during the
war. II the multitudes of undeserving
men who got on the roll through
political influence were eliminated.
thousands OF dollars would be saw
ed to an outraged people.
As the Washington Herald de-
clares, at the present rate of pro-
gress the time will come when mill
tary expenses will absorb all the
revenues derived from custom du-
ties and excise taxes, and then II
will be necessary TO resort TO the
radical tax measure SO glibly advocat-
ed by Mr.. Roosevelt
In the meantime what is to be
come of our internal policy upon
which depends the progress of the
rounrry's industries? The United
States needs some sane statesman

the people are seriously thinking OF
the peril OF militarism which is con
fronting them.

Col. JOHN H. HAMITER Of Bradley,
Ark, was killed at that place Monday
evening by the northbound local passen-
ger train. 1t seems that he was on his
way to the railroad station and could not
see the approaching train on account OF
long string Of box cars on a siding and
perhaps did not hear its noise because OF
his slight deafness. Bystanders state
that the train was upon him before he
knew it and that death resulted in
stantly. The news reached here Tues
day morning and came as shock to the
many friends of the family. He was a
most worthy and highly respected citi-
zen and much beloved for his admirable
traits of character and hospitable dispo-
sition. AS an entertainer the Colonel
was a past master, and friend here
says he has on many occasions seen fifty
or more guests visit his old home near
Walnut Hill OF. one afternoon. He also
enjoyed clean record as Confederate
soldier. He is survived by one sister
and one brother Mrs. Kate Wyche OF
this place and Mr.. Robert Hamiter OF
Arkana-six sons and three daughters
and many other relatives.
