Since we have begun to accumulate a
little army of unemployed of our own,
street touches have been more fire.

Governor Frear surprised some peo-
r,1p nh til 1T Ia t,,f,
over Maui, just completed. The gov
ernor hasn't the earmarks of an athlete
so you would notice them, but he made
some people that have, look like a
plugged nickle before the end of the
first week-so / am told. There has
been a suspicion prevalent for a long
time that our Governor has some char
acteristics in common with President
Roosevelt, but no one thought that
they lay along rough rider lines, but
they do. Just ask any of the party
which reached home this morning if
you doubt it.
Within ten days, l opine the Gov
ernor has covered we'll nigh 200 miles
on horseback, not to speak of half as
much more by autos, hacks, ETC.. and
a good deal on foot. There wasn't a
man in the party l am told, who did
the strenuous as the Governor did it.
All started out well, but none were In
it at the finish. The newspaper cor
respondents got enough of it in a week
but before this Secretary Mott-Smith
and Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell were regreJfully
foregoing such nice little jaunts as all
night rides to the top of Haleakala, in
favor of the hospitality of Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Baldwin, at their pleasant
place at Hamakuapoko.

. the lead when the calvacade was on the
I road, and he set a pace that counted
too. After an all day ride over noun
5 tain trails he always appeared fresl
and ready for more while most of hi!
company would be hunting up sof
