Island Sports

Dr. J. H Raymond has offered the
Maui Baseball League a valuable silver
cup to 90 to the team winning the pen
nant two successive seasons. The offer
has been accepted and is expected TO do
much TO stimulate the game on the
Valley Isle.
The race track Is now beginning to
attract the attention OF those interested
IN the Fourth Of July races, as there
are dozen flyers occupying quarters
at the training grounds. There are
three thOroughpreds. one Of them from
Honolulu, and known as "Duteh Dave. "
The other two thoroughbreds are in
the hands Of Brughelh and George
Richardson. Then there are seven or
eight Hawaiian breds from Monsar-
rats and Horners, while Parker q

make war upon our coasts.
This island thus fortified stands for
peace on the Pacific.
As The Hague Peace Conference, by
providing for Court Of Arbitration,
took away to large extent the neces-
sity and the excuse for war. and as
national ability and courage to defend
our rights take away temptation to
make war upon US. so we may rejoice
in the present promise of future peace.
Did you ever notice how easy it is
10 get very angry at a weak, cowardly
man? A man often loses his temper
when disputing with weakness and
timidity.
Did you ever notice what a powerful
assistant q strong. brave man is to en-
able an unjust man to hold his temper?
So it is with nations. 1t is easier to
get very mad at little Korea than 1t
is to be at all displeased with Great
Britain.
Strength, preparedness. courage and
honor in men and nations subdue anger
and preserve peace. while weakness,
want of preparation and want Of
courage invite aggression, oppression
and war.
When Oahu is a Gibraltar it win be
more than Gibraltar. for it is not
simply a gateway to a sea that will be

ing nothing 10 do with a petition pre-
scented for their signatures and official
action by the Rev. z. W. Thwing,
which requested the Board of License
Commissioners to refuse to renew the
license of the Orpheum saloon The
petition stated that the saloon was
within one hundred and twenty feet
Of the gate OF the Chinese school on
Fort street and was so located that
many of the pupils of the High School
had TO pass it daily. The sigrers of
the petition are E. W. Thwing. pastor
of the Fort street church; A. NJ. Mer-
rill, principal of the Fort street Sun
day school; P. C. Jones. president of
the Hawaiian Board: W. Brewster
Oleson, secretary of the Hawaiian
Board; F. W. Damon, superintendent
of the Chinese Mission, and W. w.

Board

saloon?" asked Judge Perry. "a
The High School pupils have to
pass it, some of them" answered Mr..
Rabbit
We'll, don't they have to pass other
saloons all over the ciy?h asked me
Judge again.
Il pass that saloon four times every
day myself" said J. j. Garden, "and
1 never saw anything wrong about the
place"

branch of the government, ought not
to go asking another bran h to do

long as we can, anyway"
If We take any action on this we
are opening the way for plenty more
of this kind of hing" agreed Mr.
Babbitt. rs it the sense OF the board
that we take no action?"
It was the sense of the board ard
the petition was laid aside.
TEACHER, FOR GOVERNMENT
WARDS.
It was agreed after discussion that
the superintendent be empowered TO
inform the president of tire Board Of
Health that a teacher would be pro-
vided as soon as procurable for the
new school for the children recently
brought from Yfolokai and that school
furniture would be provided.
The superintendent reported that he
would leave for Maui this morning to
look into number of school matters
on that island, returning on Monday

of Christopher Beaumonts suite in the Royal Vic
toria
For two days the other guests of the hotel had
been regarding this veranda with disfavor. feeling
that il was the of depriving them of good
look. to which they entitled, at the great
Christopher Beaumont. He had indeed held very
much aoof, not realizing. perhaps, how natural
and just their curiosity not caring, at least,
to take the trouble to crafty it.
Beaumont belonged to that handful of great
fnanciers who have waxed big that they have
all but outgrown humanity. The percentage of
natural man in them is so small that for purposes
of ordinary analysis it may be treated negligible.
They longer individuals: they great
economic forces. Their acts are hardly more to be
resented duarreed with than the phenomena of
nature. They lmpersonal. immoral ire
sponsibe. as West Indian hurricane aurora
boreals.
There is a real, and entirely legitimate, interest
in seeing a big economic force like this packed
down completely into the body of not in the least
monstrous man: in seeing him eat and walk around
just like anybody else; in rejecting that if any
thing went wrong with that ordinary human body,
the economic force would stop working.
To the comparatively long range view. which
the best the other guests of the hotel could get
of him, Christopher Beaumont a large rather
snowy figure of man, with thick. somewhat sill
vered hair. regular features, and close cropped mus
tache. He scrupulOusy we'll dressed, and
seemed a remarkably good humored sort in spite of
the tOrblddlng patrlclan air he had about him.
Smith, from his better post of observation, could
have corrected this estimate in two partiCu
lars. Beaumonts air not patrician it

voice he betrayed at close range sort of tyrannical

movements of his body. Take it altogether. as he
sat there after greeting Smith with rather neg-
gent nod and waiting for him to find chair for

Beaumont was not alone on the veranda: A

Then he turned to smith. Now. Mr.. smith, L

TT was impossible to sit facing him thus and not
L be aware of the mans enormous force.
The bare suggestion of any effective resistance

would have struck Beaumont rather pathetically
ridiculous And if the weapons of the combat be-
knew-the weapons of Wall Street,-then the
millionaire appraisal of the odds would be right
Smith would have about as much chance against
him as David would have had against Goliath II the
giants great fingers had casped his throat.
Smith realized this clearly as Beaumont did,
and if in facing his big antagonist he did not de-
Spair. it because he possessed another weapon
which in all probability had never been used against
Beaumont before
