Nearly every traveller by the Over
land route TO the coast passes through
the town of Pocatello, one of the thriy-
ing cities of Idaho. This place is among
the historical spots of the inter-moun-
tain country. The site of Poeatello
long before il was made white mans
town was the camping ground of the
Bannock Indians. And even down 10
the present time, it is one of the favor
ile places of the red man. Within
short distances of the town are numer-
Gus hot springs
The place was named for once we'll

WHAT PROHIBITION COSTS.

DO you know how much it costs when state goes dry?
Take Georgia. On Jan. 1 every saloon in Georgia
closed Every distllery closed Every wholesale liquor
house closed. Thousands of people had to find
ployment move outside the state
There AZ distilleres ia Georgia and $50 licensed
places for the sale of alcoholic drinks The capital in
vested in breweres and other forms of the liquor bust
than $6,0OO,00O The city of Columbus
alone lost $4,000 in revenue. Savannah Macon and
Augusta lost $4,000 each 1t Atlanta $15OOOO The
federal government loses $500000 and total annual
lost to the state of Georgia and its cities estimated
as exceeding $750,000.
Georgia says it's worth it.

This is the sort of thing which proves the folly of
such pessimism
The people do think
1t is the greatest tribute to the wisdom and the faith
OF the who bulded republic that the years have
demonstrated and will, believe, demonstrate more

practically well for the people to safeguard themselves

CHAPTER V
A Chance of Heart

The news that Harold Darnell
had been offered the democratic
nomination in the Twenty-fourth
ward occasioned much merriment.
Darnell was we'll built, handsome
youth, with curly brown hair and
smooth, almost boyish face. He
was a society man in the better
sence of that term-nOt a society
idler, but popular young man of
social accomplishments, and one
who always had been Gin society"
He had been born to it and edu-
Gated for it as much as for the le-
gal profession, which, By his faith
er's advice, he had chosen as, his
calling in life. He was not depen-
dent upon the law for living, and
his fathers influence put enough
business in his way to give him
more than a fair pretense Of doing
something. He was Industrious
and ambitious. He studied. He
proved himself conscientious and
resourceful, too. For rich man S
son he was more than usually
promising, for his habits were good
and he gave his first thoughts to
his work.
Even those who laughed loudest
| were willing to admit that he
| would make good alderman, but
still they laughed. 1t was joke.
Indeed, not only society, but the
whole city was laughing at it.
Out in the Twenty-fourth ward
the pokes were quite as numerous.
"Darnell and Hogan forever"
was an exceedingly popular cry
that Fred Enderly started, for the
| combination presented mental
picture that was unusually divert
, ing.
| "Darnell," Albert Dale solemnly
Informed a little group, sis very
| busy today. He has an appoint
ment with his friend, Mulcahey."
"Wrong!" put in Henry Ban
men. Hes gone out to the Bride
well to talk over the situation
with an unfortunate friend who
| had disagreement with the pre-
siding magistrate in police
court"
, But Darnell himself never had
the slightest intention of running.
So, when informed that he could
haxe the nomination if he wanted
1t, he promptly sent back word
that he did not want it and would
not take it,. Then he went to a
dinner dance at the Dales. where
he had to accept with the best

race"
"Oh, no, you won't, Mason" re-
turned Ryan, with significant
smile. ''If you thrown down the
Old Man you won't be nominated"
HE has no right to demand this
and if I'm turned down for the
nomination I'll tell the reason
why"
"The Old Man." pursued Ryan
"has been too foxy to stand for this
ordinance publicly at any time. In
fact, you will recall that he has
condemned it. Do you think any
one will believe you when you say
he made it the price of your nom
nation? l tell you, Mason, you're
in tight place. The ward will be
disguised, and SO will the Old
Man. They'll say it was all a
bluff and you sold out, for Bob
Howe will insist that you could
have had the nomination if you
really wanted 1t. They'll think
they've been betrayed, and you
can't tell them anything that'll
make them think different"
Mason saw the force of this ar
gument; he realized at last the
meaning Of the premature boom;
but it only served to rouse his in
dignation and anger.
"You go back to the Old Man."

president of the United States! It
isn't an honest deal, and he knows
| it,"
For a long time after Ryan had
gone Mason sat buried in thought
He knew that he had done what
| was right, but the result was a
great disappointment. And he
dreaded the comments Of the peo-
pie Of the word. They would not
and could not be made to under
stand.
The door opened and Mrs. Mason
entered softly.

asked. ICi

| mo, l can't be one honorably"
Then you can't be one at all, of
course" she said, bravely. q.
| A moment later the door opened
again, and Mrs. Mason passed out
as softly as she had entered, leav-
ing her husband silent and brood
ing. An hour afterwards he found
her in her room, weeping. That
which seems trifle to one may be
much to another, and a dream had
proved to be only dream had
proved to be only a dream. a.

grace possible many jokes at his
expense.
Il tell you" he said, for the
third or fourth time, I'm not 60
ing to run"
81 don't blame you" remarked
Albert Dale. "Of course, when a
fellow gets into politics, he's got
to be with the organization, and
you wouldn't look well in a white
plug hat, alongside of Alderman
Ben Hogan in county demo-
cracy parade-honest you wouldn't.
That kind Of hat doesn't suit you
at ALL
"Oh. I'd dearly love to see Mr..
Darnell in the council" exclaimed
Miss Male Murison, when the
laugh that greeted this sally had
died away.
WED all have been there the
frst night" asserted Emily Dale,
land I would have thrown a big
hopduet on your desk. That's
proper when new alderman
makes his first bow, isn't it?"
"Of course" chimed in Ban
men, "and anything at all in the
flower line is considered appro-
pirate. Why, heard that two
years ago, when Ho2an's constitu-
ents went out TO buy a floral Of
fering, the biggest things they
could find wero broken pillar
and pillow with the word Rest
on it. So they had those put on

man in the council"

TARIFF REVISION.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-It is re-
ported that President Roosevelt will
recommend that Congress pass a dec
laration in favor of the revision of the
tariff to be done at a special session to
be called in 1909, at which session can
also be taken up the question of limit
ing the power of the courts in issuing
injunctions in labor disputes, the pass
age of new Employers Liability bill
to eliminate the portions making the
present one unconstitutional and the
consideration of the Aldrich financial
bill.

HAWAIPS ATTITUDE
is UNAMERICAN

We are glad to see that Mr. W. NJ.
Ginard at a meeting OF the trustees
Of the Honolulu Chamber Of Com
merce, voted against a resolution to
urge the passage OF a bill to amend
the coastwise shipping law to such an
extent that II will establish Free Trade
in the transportation of passengers be-
tween Hawaii and the Pacific Coast of
the Mainland, discriminating against
American built, American owned and
American manned steamships in favor
of foreign built and foreign owned
vessels manned by Oriental labor. The
first opponent of the bill now before
Congress, introduced by our Delegate,
at the request of those whose motives
were purely personal and selfish, was
Mr.. P. c. Jones' Now comes Mr.. W..
NJ. Giffard, and following him Mr.. G..
p Morse.
1t will be claimed that the two lat
ter, Mr.. Giffard and Mr. Morse. may
also have personal and selfish motives
inasmuch as they represent American
I
Hawaii. If so, then the entire policy
( of Protection to American Industries
and commerce must be selfish. includ-
ing any claim for protection to the SUI
gar industry. 1t is like the action of
some New England manufacturers
who want free hides and free wool for
| the greater benefit of their shoe and
clothing manufactures, utterly regard
! less of the great cattle and sheep in
terests of the Western States. The
Republican policy of Protection has
always been a national one, therein
consisting it's strength. When goods
/ have been admitted into the United
/ States free of duty it has been because
there, and that is, why we find in the
Dingley tariff, enacted before Hawaii
was a Territory of the United States,
no Protection for vanilla, cocoa, cof-
fee, sisal, bananas, cocoanuts, copra,
rubber, or mahogany lumber.
In asking Congress to let a few of
/ the residents of this Territory travel
on Japanese steamers rather than on
the boats of the Pacific Mail, Ameri-
anHawaiian, Oceanic and Matson
Navigation Companies, all of which fly
the American flag, we are advocating
a policy of Free Trade. But has any
body considered what the ultimate
cost of such a concession may be to

IT seems like being on an ocean
steamer remarked a passenger on the
Mauna Kea trial trip TO Kauai last Sat
urday. n can hardly believe | am on
an island vessel"
The remark, which was typical Of the
expressions used by the guests OF the
lnter-lsland Company on the special
trip of the new steamer, was made in
the comfortable and spacious smoking
room on the upper deck,-such a room
as the ocean liners have and the YES
sci was merrily speeding along at a
twelve knot clip and riding such ocean
swell as there was in the finest Of
style.
Another feature of the new vessel
which excited comment aside from the
Improvement her staterooms are over
others on island steamers, was the
wide upper deck. Here, again, it
seemed like travelling on a big liner.
After Kauai had bee reached and a
number of ladies taken aboard, this
deck had all day a happy party of
ladies and gentlemen, enjoying the lit
tie voyage in perfect comfort.
There was a very representative
party of Honolulu business men on the
steamer, and they were unanimous in
the sentiment that the Mauna Kea is
an asset of very high value to the
whole Territory. Many recalled the
bringing of the Kinau and resurrected
gloomy remarks made when the Kinau
came to the effect that she was alto
gether too big and expensive for the
island business, whereas in fact the
business soon grew beyond her.
The Kinau at her start made a repu-
tation for acTobatic performances and
she has never got rid of it. Ocean
travellers Of life long experience took
a trip in her and came back and raised
their hats to her, saying she could do
more stunts than any vessel they had
found in the seven seas and could do
them all in the same minute. So the
Kinau got a reputation which is prob
ably still the subject of Renaissance
in thousands of homes abroad. This
was before she had her masts cut down
and had a bilge keel put in, but, as
one of the inter-island company re-
marked, she mad earned the reputation,
and it sticks in spite Of all improve
ments.
The Mauna Kea starts with differ
ent sort of a reputation. There were
times on the excursion trip when some
of the guests looked as if they did not
feel exactly ready to think of nice
things to eat and some lay down and
may have been sick, but there were
practically no cases of actual seasick-
ness, and the big dining saloon was
crowded every time it was ready for
business.
The trip was not a stormy one, but
of course the steamer encountered the
swells of the big ocean, which never
cease in the calmest of weather. Dur
ing the hours when she was sticking
! her nose into them, she rode finely,
and when they struck her abeam, her
extra-sized bilge keels made things all
right.
