MORE SPORTS
OFF FOR H|LO

Another large crowd of sportsmen
boarded the Mauna Kea when she left
the wharf yesterday, all of them bound
for Hilo and the big race meeting. Most
of them were directly connected with
the various stables but some went
merely as horse-lovers out for pleas
ant holiday, with the intention OF
spending Christmas with friends in the
rainy city or on the nearby plantations.
Louis Warren was there, on his way
to the track in good time so that he
may oversee the final preparations OF
his two crack horses, Bruner and In
digo. He has high hopes of Bruner
carrying off the big event, the Mer'
chants Stakes, and will overlook moth
ing that may help his stable to carry
off the honors.
Jack Gibson, the premier rein.
handler of the islands, had bunch of
well-wishers to see him off and his
parting words shouted over the rail
were that he was going to take the
Importation round at 1908 clip.
| The importation referred to is, of
course, the PAGER Harry Hurst that was
brought from the Coast to put it over
Waldo ]. and the other speedy harness
racers on the islands. If anybody can
get the best speed out of PAGER 1t
surely is good old Jack who has nerve,
experience and courage.
Jockey Ferreira was there with his
usual chime of BELLS He had his big
leaper "Guess Coming on board and
smilingly stated that he was going to
show them something in the way of
sticking that would make their hair
! stand on end. He also said that he
had applied for his California Jockey
Club license and expected to receive it
by the first of the year.
Dick Davis, the Maui horseman,
came up on the run at the last moment
1t seems that he had some important
business to transact in Honolulu and
so took the Mauna Loa which arrived
in the early morning, did his business
and just managed to catch the Mauna
Kea back again to Maui. He will take
the same boat on to Hilo next Tues
day. He is part owner in Parnell
and Adion and has high expectations
of what his stable will do at the meet
: ing.
There has been quite sensation
caused among the horse dopesters il
! town, by the Hilo despatch which ap
peared in Mondays Advertiser. Judg
ing by the time that Waldo J. is re
ported to have made over three-quar
tiers of mile the old-timer must b.
pretty well back to past performance,
| class and it looks bad for the importa
5 tion.
Jim Quinn will most probably driv,
the Oahu champion and there will b.
I some lively betting on the subjec
when the PAGERS line out for the frs
!, heat.
The largest crowd of race-goers viii
be on the Mauna Kea next Tuesda,
when they will have their last chanc
9 of getting to Hilo in time for the races
Much disappointment has been express
a ed that the excursion was not run a
!. it means more than a week to TAX
D in the races and return on a smal
boat.

A MARIA, MI AMOR.

Since you have gone, the days are
long,
No more there's music in the song
OF the birds. Flowers once so strong
With perfume no longer greet me,
Since you have gone, my Marie.
But every evening to the gate
I walk at twilight, sit and wait
Until the passing hours grow late,
For you to come and sit near me,
AS in the past, dear Marie
And the stars above at night
Brilliant with their silver light
Twinkling, sparkling with delight,
Bring to me the memory,
OF evenings passed with you, Marie
And oh, the everlasting, bliss
OF each and every parting kiss
That you gave me, do l miss;
So, Sweetheart, kiss for thee
Loves evening roses, dear Marie
No more when the moon is pale,
To my window with his loving tale,
Comes and sings the nightingale.
So dear love, l sigh for thee
Ven, ven amor, vuelve Marie.
-Gaspard Lavalette D'Aurilly.

RESORTS TO STRATEGY
TO SAVE A CLIENT
Clever Brownsville Lawyer of Early
Days Resorted to New Method in
Trial Procedure.

1t was in the sixties that the fol
lowing incident occurred in the dis
trict court at Brownsville.
A lawyer, who is well remembered
here by the old timers as having been
identified with the early existence of
Cameron county and one of the lead
ing law practitioners of his day, had
criminal case to defend. After
studying the case from every stand
point, he saw that his client, who was
a Mexican, had no chance whatever to
escape. So, just before the case was
called, he had hurried consultation
with his client
There is no possible chance to
clear you," the lawyer said, "but
will save you. When you are brought
into court for trial, will raise dis
turbance and get into fight with the
district attorney. Then, when the Of
ficers are trying to separate US. you
can make a run and get over to Mex
ico."
Accordingly, when the case was
called and the prisoner in the dock,
and the preliminary work of securing
a jury being carried on, the lawyer
began to question some action of the
district attorneys. In rasping and
sarcastic terms, he argued with that
official until the latter began to fire
up. Presently the conflict reached
white heat and the two clinched.
With grim Determination the lawyer
for the defense chung on to his oppon-
ent, and the two men rolled around
turning over chairs and causing the
greatest excitement in court.
In vain, the judge on the bench
called the two distinguished contest
ants to order, and threatened to fine
them for contempt of court. The
sheriff and his deputies and the con-
stable were ordered to interfere and
arrest the fighting pair, and rushed
into the melee to do so. Finally they
succeeded in restoring order. and the
court was ready to resume the trial
but 10, there was no prisoner in the
dock. He had carried out his part
Of the program faithfully, and by the
time the fight was over, he had
.rossed the river and was safe in Mex
co, rejoicing in the fact that he had
secured such clever lawyer to de-
fend him.

It is to be regretted that there
was no one atCorpusChristi to speak a
word for the Brownsville end Of the
coast. Mr.. Owens would doubtless
have assented to an amendment to
his resolution so as to include the
improvement of the harbor at Brazos
Santiago, as well as at Corpus Chris
ii, if he had been so requested. Unless
the leading citizens of Brownsville
will speak for their town, it can hard
ly be expected that anyone else will
do it. 1t is high time for those peo-
pie who live in the town to wake up
TO the necessity of doing something to
promote its development.

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 20. 1908
DOLLAR WEEKLLE.S R1fLS-
ING PRICE.

Publishers all over the United
States who have been publishing
weekly papers at 81 a year are now
raising the price to- $3.50. The press
journals almostsevery week contain
articles BY prominent editorial writ
ers, advocating the raise and suggest
ing ways whereby it may be made
without hurting the circulation of the
papers which adopt the higher sub
scription price. The burden of every
argument is that it does not pay to
publish a dollar weekly. Paper and
other material, besides labor, cost en-
tirely too much to make it profitable
to publish a paper at that price, unless
it be a single or folio sheet with eth
er a patent" side or filed with plate
matter. There is no doubt that a
weekly paper of quarto size, which
is carefully and conscientiously edit
ed, is well worth at least $1.50 per
year. That is little enough to pay for
fifty-two numbers of paper which
answers this description, and the per-
son who attempts to force the pub
Usher to furnish a weekly at lower
price does not deserve to have a
paper published In his community.

The cotton planters of Mississippi
and Louisiana in their annual in
stitute at Natchez, discussed the boil
weevil at length and said many I'M
complimentary things about it, but
that busy little creature continues its
operations as actively as ever. The
farmers may say and do what they
please about it. but the boil weevil
evidently believes it was created for
the purpose of preventing an over
production of cotton, and persistently
endeavors to fulfill its mission.

The London Saturday Review de-
clares that Bryan is the 'only man of
genius who has emerged in American
politics in a generation" yet it does
not believe that he has any chance of
winning in the November election.
Perhaps the great British journal
may be correct in its latter belief, yet
If the first declaration be true, the
genius of the candidate may achieve
the triumph for which he has striven
for so long.

part of the employer, according to the
color and nationality of the laborer or
employee This as the spirit of Ameri-
canism which insists the principle of

while. However, against the spirit of
Americanism, the laborers think, that
there is a demarcation between the ma
tionahty and race of the plantation Ia
| borers. The Porto Ricans who are mix
ed of the negroes and Spaniards in
blood, are offered $22.50 per month,
and cottage with rooms and an at
| tachment of one acre Of land; the
Portuguese from Madeira Island are
treated like the Port Ricans. To the
eyes of the Japanese, none of the above
mentioned laboTers is above the Japan
csc, in ability and efficiency as the plan
tation lahorer. While such an inefficient
laborer as the Port Rican or the Port
uguese is being paid $3.50 per month,
working for the same number of the
hour and doing relatively easy work,
the most efficient laborer on the plan
tations is paid only $500 with no at
tachment of land, and with small only
one roome house, which is, in some
cases, worse than a chicken house. The
japanese think that the above men
toned is one of the main reasons of
NJ hich +bax- Fool Indictment
1t is a fact that the local japanese
presses are in hot fighting with each
other in regard to the wages question.
The Nippu is in favor of the instant
demand of the laborers for the higher
wages-$1.00 per day with the present
house; and in case the better house and
land are given just like the Port Rican
or the Portuguese is given, $22.50 per
month. While the Shinpo is against
the Nippu, insisting that it is not the
opportune time to demand of the plant
ers by the laborers in general for the
higher wages. The papers are hard at /,

points of the literary bayonets attack
