Especial Correspondence

HILO, October 9.-After all the poll
tical conventions held on the island of
Hawaii, there was every indication that
the Republican ticket could carry the
county. The party workers are young
men of Hawaiian or Portuguese descent
almost entirely, and the personnel OF
the ticket need fear no comparison.
Anxiety was manifested to add more
haoles to the ticket and opportunities
were offered but refused by those who
had been in the habit of deprecating
the conditions existing in county gov
eminent here.
Within the past two weeks there has
| been a change in the outlook for Re-
publican success. Without money or
prospects of any till very lately, the
young men who had paid every dollor
of the preliminary expenses in con-
nection with the convention out of
their own pockets, could not see their
way clear to mortgage their salaries
for weeks or months ahead, when they
received no encouragement from the
more wealthy people. AS a result or
ganization was delayed No one could
be found who was willing to assume
the financial responsibility until this
week, when a belated start was made
and w. II. Beers assumed the party
management.
Beers is young lawyer, just return
ed from Michigan University and is
| admitted to practice in all the courts
of the Territory. Part haole and part
Hawaiian, he is respected by all who
knew him. The young campaign man
ager feels and acknowledges that he is
lacking in the practical political eX-
perience demanded by the situation,
more especially when opposed by such
old political veterans as c. Williams,
Purdy or Kalaiwaa.
While this delay in organizing eX-
listed, McCandless was making a
stumping tour of the island, and if any
voter in the county has not heard him
speak, it is not for lack of opportunity.
Link, as everybody knows, is a plausi-
BILE speaker, and his terrestrial argu-
ments have caught on with the Ha-
waiians, who think, many of them, that
if he is elected they will get homes for
nothing. The longer Link was on
the stump, the larger his ideas grow
until having almost completed the cir
cult he is said to have promised every
citizen at Papaikou who voted for him,
full quarter section. Naturally Pa

am informed that the registra-
ton is very light in some counties.
Do not think for moment that
the heavy vote in the June primary
meant that they were registered vot-
ers, for the county committees in
many counties disregarded the regis
tration list, as was done in this coun-
ty, but it cannot be done in a legal
election. Therefore hint to the wise
is sufficient. Get a move on YOU.
comrades. It is getting near time to
print and mail out tickets and no
campaign funds to meet expenses.
Many have written for blanks, but
forgot to enclose even a 2-cent stamp.
A record will be kept Of every penny
contributed and for what used, open
to the inspection of Populists at all
times. Ten or fifteen cents apiece
from half the Populists Of Georgia
would enable US to keep a force at
headquarters in Atlanta and get out
all the literature and tickets needed,
and to answer all inquiries and put
many more speakers in the field.
= Comrades, is it worth the while,
or shall we sit idly by and let Mr.
Watson and few others bear all the
expense and burden Of the campaign?
AS we have no trusts and corpora
tions to finance our campaign, we do
not feel that it is necessary to do as
Mr.. Bryan has done-give out notice
that we will not receive any sum
greater than $4,000 from one con-
tributor
But I wish to say in conclusion
and finally, that in this day Of Amer
lean politics, while both old parties
are being absolutely run by the great
trusts and corporations, there is GER
tainly no way for US to lead sue
cessful campaign against them witt
out somebody being out some time
and money.
Is liberty worth the price?
If so, shoot, Luke, or give up your
gun.
Yours for the fray,

CHAIRMAN HOLLAWAY AP-
PEALS TO GEORGIANS.
Now is the Time to Act-Bryan Third
in Race.

1t is found by actual enrolment
that Watson has about votes to ev-
cry one for Bryan, and that Taft has
more than Bryan, at this precinct.
Your humble scribe was invited to
give a talk at Banning Saturday and
it is found that this district is about
three to one for our ticket.
The enrolment plan is encouraging
our boys wherever it is being pushed,
for it reveals to them the fact that
many are with us who have not been
heretofore It also shows that Mr..
Bryan is not as strong as the Demo-
cratic dailies would have us believe.
Therefore we cannot too strongly
urge the Populists Of Georgia to push
this work Of organization. Each en-
rollment blank contains lines for 25
names, giving the county, district,
postofice, route number and column
for the amount the signer wishes to
contribute for printing Of tickets,
blanks and other expenses Of the cam
paign.
In 1904 we had 100000 tickets
printed, but not having the addresses
Of Populists in each precinct, many
tickets fell into unfriendly hands and
were purposely kept from the polls
so that many who wanted to vote for
Mr.. Watson, failed to vote Hence
the small vote Of 1904
Surely no informed person believes
that Mr.. Watson polled even half
his strength in that campaign; our
unorganized condition and the fact
above recited were the principal rea-
sons. But with the help Of the JEFF
fersonians, and the enrolment blanks,
there is no reason why we should not
expect full vote the third Of Novem-
Der, provided our boys are registered.
This reminds Us Of the fact that there
will be only six days in which one can
register between October election and
the November election, because the
law requires the books closed 20 days
before each legal election.

WORKING for Him,

About four miles out of Selma, Ala.
1 came across a colored man whose
mule team and loaded wagon were
stuck fast In a mudhole< in the road
The mules were nodding in sleep, and
the driver lay on the grass by the
roadside with his hat over his face.
"Here-are you the man who runs
this OUTFIT" l asked as l dismounted
from my horse.
''Tze de pusson, sah," he replied, as
he sat up.

Ten minutes later four white men
drove up in . buggy. Seeing that the
mules were stuck, they got down, Sc

AGREED WITH LATE EMPLOYER.
For Time, at Least, Boy Would Not
Smoke Twist"

Mr.. ]. M. Barrie, the popular nov
elist and playwright, has glorifed to-
bacco more than once, but on a GER
tain occasion he tried to induce a
smoker to desist. 1t happened thus:
Mr.. Barrie returned to lis rooms
one day and discovered his page boy
putting hard at a dirty clay pipe
My boy" said the novelist, at is
Try bad for you to smoke that coarse
3ack twist. You will make yourself
old before your time"
And so he went on till he had deliv-
cred a long and what he believed to
be a telling lecture. A day or two
later the youth left without giving no
tice, and shortly afterward Mr.. Bar
RE brought some friends to his fiat
Promising them a special treat, he
went to a cabinet where he kept a
store of very choice cigars. You can
imagine bis chagrin when he discov-
cred that the cigars had vanished, and
in their place was the page boys clay
pipe and the following note:
Dear Sir: I agree with you that
it is bad for boy to smoke twist. /
will not smoke any more twist till I
have finished your cigars"

An Accomplished DueIIst.

There Is something very fascinating
to one accustomed to the somewhat
even and prosaic tenor of the English
public life to gaze on q man who has
seen such vicissitudes as the present
prime minister Of France, M. Georges
Clemenceau. He was but a boy dur
ing the Empire, when he was exiled;
he spent four years in America
which is the reason why he speaks
English 30 perfectly. Then think Of
what he has gone through since; to
every man who challenged him he
sent an acceptance, and a dozen, per-
haps score, of times he has taken his
life in his hands and looked into the
barrel of q revolver or at the sword of
an opponent who had for him all the
deadly hate of political animosity, and
especially in country like France,
where religion and classes, as well as
fierce personal ambition, divide men
into such hostile and irreconcilable
camps. Neither giving nor asking
mercy, this terrific man-small and
compact of stature-with the great
round head, the great dark eyes, has
fought his way, now trampled down,
now rising again, and always feared
and kept back, as men of such flercely
strong character are bound to be. 1t
Is only mediocrities in politics that he
world allows to get to the top without
obstruction.

LOGGERS NEED
HEAVY SNOW
Ice Roads and Wagons are now
Beinu Used in Woods

While the amount of the snow fall
the past week was slight, yet even so
it was welcomed by loggers all through
the north.
The work in the woods this year has
been greatly retarded because of the
slight fall of snow and aside from
those places where ice roads could be
maintained for short hauls, the logs
have been taken out by wagons. OThis
is a difficult manner of hauling as
well as slow one, as very small loads
can be taken on trucks as compared
with those on sleighs. Up TO the
recent snow fall wagons have been
used in the northern woods and thus
the cost of putting up logs has greatly
increased. The recent fall of snow
while aiding to some extent, was
not sufficient to change conditions
materially.
A month of good cold weather,
after goodly fall of snow, would be a
blessing to the workers in the lumber
woods, but if conditions remain un-
changed the amount of logs cut and
put up this winter, will be small COM
pared to former years,

AN OUTSIDE CONCENTRATION.

In speaking of the candidacy of
Judge Webb, to succeed himself, the
Oshkosh Northwestern says:
Probably no circuit judge of the
state is more widely known, or more
generally respected, trusted and es.
teemed than Judge Webb. He has
served in his present capacity for more
than twenty-four years, and during
that time has built up most enviable
reputation for judicial fairness and
honesty, sterling personal integrity,
and careful paintaking attention to
the numerous duties of his honorable
Office. OF course it is true Judge
Webb is getting along in years. but
at the same time he possesses every
necessary qualification for giving the
same good service as circuit Judge for
a number of years to come, with the
additional advantage that his long ex-
perience should make him still more
valuable in this position and capacity.
And as the people of the Seventh cir
cult realize and appreciate these facts
full well, and large proportion of
them are personally acquainted with
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1908-01-30

The way to build up community is
for every person in it, who can, to put
some money into Industries that give
the people employment,a and push the
industries to success. Industries that
last all the year round are the best:
but those that last part of the year
are better than none. The most
valuable power on earth is human
power, and when it is not employed it
is not only lost but also consumes part
of what others earn. Work creates
wealth, work sets money in motion:
work pays debts; work is the vital
power In prosperity, and that city,
that community, and that nation
whose people are idle, are poor and
poor in proportion to the number that
work and the time they work. Heavens
greatest earthly blessings to any people
is to give them honest remunerative
work.

The place that gives man his liv-
ing is entitled to his best efforts to
advance everything calculated to
benefit the place and community. Nc
man has right to live in live town
who seeks to enrich himself and not
actively identify himself with its
interest. To he classed as a drone, or
chronic kicker and opposed to every
measure believed to be for the good of
the citizens is stigma that should
attach to no man in the corporation.
The improvements necessary to be
made and the manner of making them
a monument to the enterprise and
intelligence of the citizens is the
duty each person owes to the place in
which he lives. No man has a right
to block legislation in his town simply
because he is not personally benefited
by the proposed Improvements or per-
chance may have to pay little toward
1t. for in the end it will no doubt have
proven a wise proceeding. Let all
join in any movement calculated to
better our little city in the year 1908,
and trust the results will Justify the
actions and meet the highest anticip-
ationS for a prosperous future.

There is a sowing time and a time
10 reap. The wise man said: Bring
a child up in the way he should go,
and when he Is old he will not depart
from it." So it is with the boys of
today who are allowed to run the
streets till nine or ten o'clock at night.
This does not mean our town alone,
as most all towns are similarly afflicted
for an affection it surely proves to
be TO many families in the after life
of the boys. Parents, see after your
boys, and the company they keep. 1t
will be worth more than gold to you
and them in years to come.

Modern Hindu Women.

Within five short years a great
change has come over section Of the
native population of Lahore, says the
Punjab Journal. Children of native
gentlemen can be seen being taken
out for an airing by ayahs morning
and evening. Certain bold men have
begun to take out their wives in the
evening for drive in open vehicles.
A week ago we saw the daughter of
a man of position walking with her ia
Their on the railway platform at La
hore. She was dressed in what seemed
like an English gown, had English
shoes on, and when her husband came
up left her father and walked about
with him. Her face was quite uncov-
cred. Let those who have relatives
in Lahore go there and see for them
selves the state of things. They will
see wives going out shoulder to Shout

old manners on his womenkind would

HER BREAD UPON THE WATERS.
Little Edna Did AZ Sunday School
Teacher Directed.

1t was summertime, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Girvan had established them
selves as summer boarders on large
farm, so that their only child, Edna
might have long-cherished wish re
allied.
Little six-year-old Edna had heard
people talk of farms and farm life, and
she had leased her parents to take her
to the real country" where they have
cows, horses, chickens, and where the
men dig potatoes. They arrived there
Saturday. and the following day Edna
was placed in the village Sunday
school.
she said nothing about 1t on her
return home. and her parents had no
reason for thinking that their little
girl had learned a practical lesson :
but on the following day when she
was given some bread crumbs to feed
the chickens her face simply beamed
with delight, and a few moments
later her mother, glancing out of the
window, saw her throw the bread
crumbs into little pool of water, and
the chickens had to stretch their
necks far out into the water to get the
feed. She meant to ask Edna why she
did 1t, but the incident passed out OF
her mind.
A few days later Edna's father had
occasion to go to the city, and wher
he returned he brought home a hand
some locket and chain for his little
girl, it being intended as q surprise
from her father and mother; but Edna
while plainly showing she was de
lighted at receiving the gift, showed
no surprise whatever, but accepted II
In a cool, matter-of-fact manner
Both her father and mother noticed
this with surprise, and were keenly
disappointed. Finally her mother said
to Edna: But isn't my little girl sur
prised to receive SO beautiful a gift
from papa and mammal" NO" little
Edna replied, "the golden text of the
Sunday school lesson on Sunday was
Cast thy bread upon the waters, for
thou shalt find 1t after many days.

tie chickens. every day I did 'casted
the bread on the water, and so
