And these, Mr.. President" the mayor
continues, as the procession of bunting
covered automobiles whirls past a flock
of young women lined up on the lawn
of the court house, these, Mr.. Presi-
dent, are the prettiest girls in the
State. This town, sir, is not only the
centre of the garden spot of the State,
but 1t produces the prettiest girls west
of the Mississippi"
There is no doubt about it; l quite
agree with you!' exclaims Mr.. Taft,
beaming on the white-gowned group.
Il think you are peculiarly fortunate,
Mr.. Mayor, in being the chief citizen of
such a magnificent town. I %congratu-

But there are troubles, too, to be met
on the Presidents tour. The writer
describes some of them as follows:

The men who are put into humber

vengeance on those who are given pref

reaches town, the place is divided into
two opposing camps. These factions
will knife each other at the polls OF in

Taft Shows All Qualifications
of Good Judge of Apples,
Pumpkins and Corn.
BY ARTY ESS.

n NE would think the President was
~ running for Congress to see him
at a county fair, 1t has taken him no
time to acquire the expert apple
judges expression, and, to see him
enter a tent where the big pumpkins
are heaped up and the corn Is festooned
around the poles, you unconsciously
expect him to quote the prices he got
last year from what he raised, n to
speculate on the bumper crops he is
in Leslie's Weekly.
AS soon as Mr.. Taft found himself
west of the Mississippi, he plunged into
the fair belt. 1t was the open season
in Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and Mon
tana, and everywhere he went he saw
the biggest farm products ever raised.
He was also just a little bit surprised
to learn how many garden spots each
State owned.
"Now, Mr.. President" the mayor of
this or that town would exclaim, as
the automobile started from the train
to take the presidential party to the
fair grounds by way of the principal
street, passing the house of the mayor
himself, where the mayors wife is
gracefully posed with an American flag
in her hand, and not forgetting to
pause for a moment in front of the
mansion built by Jones, who made his
money in a private irrigation plant,
but is now, we are very sorry to say,
in Europe, so we cant have the pleas

Quarrels of Local Celebrities

ident old political feuds are brought
to the surface and are refought. Down
at Omaha the Governor of the State
was snubbed and given no place in
the program or procession, although
he was in town when the President
arrived. In Denver the Democrats
shouldered the Republicans off the
board. In Salt Lake the Mormons APP
propriated the executive during his
stay, and the old war with the Zen
tiles broke out afresh. OF course,
whenever possible, the President COM
ing clans, and on more than one bat
tle-ground has managed to patch up
at least temporary peace. AS a rule,
however, the mere idea of reconcilia-
ton is secuted by both sides in the con-
troversy and the fight goes merrily on.
The best the President can do under
the circumstances, then, is to treat the
chiefs of the warning gangs as impair
TALLY as possible. If he talks to one
for five minutes he is careful to make
just as long a powwow with the other;
If he allows one to ride on his train,
the other must have an invitation to
ride as well. The President is a first
class politician, growing more adept in
he game every week, and no matter
how the local Republicans gouge out
each others eyes at home, he is bound
that they shall all be friends of his.
BY steering such a careful middle
course whenever his ship approaches
the rocksso of local dissension, the Pres
ident is making votes for the party as
well as for himself, if he eve needs
them in the West.

A STRONG LEADER
PASSED AWAY

death in Brooklyn is announced. McCarren was a national figure.
Since 1908, when he grappled with the powerful Democratic or
ganizaton leader, Hugh Mclaughlin, in Kings county and con.
quered the leadership, he has been supreme in Democratic poll
ties in the county and proof against the assaults of Tammany
and attacks within his organization. Exceptional qualities
of character are necessary for ordinary leadership. McCarren
possessed extraordinary qualities. He had dauntless courage and
a marvellous power of resource. His vision was clear, his percep.
tin keen and his judgment in politics almost unerring. He had
an instructive knowledge of men and of human nature. Neither
favor nor prejudice could sway him. \ selfmade man, he picked
up his educational training, and was his own disciplinarian. He
won his prominence in life by game persistence and hard knocks.
McCarren dies within a few days of an election in which he was
supremey interested, for Judge Gaynor was his candidate.

OF THE CAMPAIGN

evidence of public interest in the coming election. There will be
another campaign week to open Monday, and, with the redoubled
efforts of candidates and spellbinders, it may develop a change and
some ginger. But appearances are deceptive in politics. One
fact may be marked. The style of political campaigning has greatly
altered. There is no more redfre, no parading with torches and
bands, and ther are few large massmeetings. The political work
is done in election precincts by nightly speeches at small meet
ings. This kind of work naturally tends TO a quiet campaign,
such as we are having this year. Freedom from personalities and
mud singing also conduces to its tranquil aspect.

create new and permanent opportunities for labor in the near

IN HONOR OF
KING EDWARD
THE BAND AND BAGPIPES
Birthday Celebrated Yesterday
by Many Residents of
Honolulu.
(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)


King Edward Wis loyal British
subjects in Honolulu patriotically OBJ.
served His Majesty's sixty-eighth
birthday anniversary yesterday, first by
floating the English ensign to the
breeze all over the city and then by
quatiing the health of the sovereign
with His Majesty's consul, r. G. E.

sells in the harbor showed the British
flag and the Royal Mail liner Makura,
just arriving from the Colonies, show
ed strings of pennants and put on a
holiday appearance generally, many of
the passengers paying their respects to
the consul during the reception from
eleven TO one o'clock.
Consul Forster, in white uniform en-
broidered with gold, and wearing his
sword, received the guests in the re-
ception hall, being assisted in this very
pleasant duty by George +. Davies,
who was acting consul during Mr.. For
ster' IS absence abroad. The health of
the King was drunk by every visitor,
and when the Hawaiian band played
"God Save the King" all stood at
attention. Governor Frear called, ac-
companied by Colonel Jones, N. G.. H.,
and Capt. Marston Campbell. Captain

BAG PIPE BLOWER
SWATTED BY CORPORAL

AS Campbell Mackey raised a glass
of beer to his lips in the Anchor Sa.
loon last night, someone nit him a blow
in the face that put him down and
out, slit his face open and sent him
to the hospital. His assailant. a sol
der who wears the stripes of cor
poral, was arrested and taken to the
police station, where he obstinately re-.
fused to give his name. He was lock.
ed up in the tanks and will be held
there for a while, until he gets over
his fit of stubbornness.
Mackey had his countenance sewed
up at the hospital, where it was found
that his injuries were only superficial
and not liable to cause him any perma.
nent inconvenience.
Mackey says he has no idea why the
soldier hit him. that the man was n
stranger to him and that there was
absolutely no reason for the assault.
He is said to be coalpasser on the
British steamer Romera, and was one
of the Scotchmen who were going
about the streets yesterday playing the
bngpipes, This, however, so far as is
known, is not why he was assaulted by

AMERICA SENDS A PROTEST TO JAPAN
KAHULUI DEAL
IS AGREED UPON
Terms Are Kept Secret, but Are
Supposed Favorable to
Territory.

The Kahului wharf deal has been
closed and awaits only the affixing of
signatures, but the result is not yet
for publication. The deal, which con-
cerned public lands, and the granting
to the Kahului railway company of the
right to build a wharf into Kahului
bay, has been consummated in exec
utive sessions, and the provisions and
agreements contained therein are still
kept secret.
There has been pilikia over an agree
ment that will meet the approval of
both parties in the transaction. at
least three different drafts having been
drawn up before they met with the
approval of the legal representatives
of the Territory and the railway COM
pany.
The company first submitted ten
tative agreement to the Territory,
and Attorney-General Hemenway drew
up another one, which was sent to
Maui. This, also, was not approved,
and came back with suggestions and
corrections. Some OF the suggestions
Were accepted ana some were not, re-
sulting in the drafting of a new bill,
which appears to have met with the
satisfaction of the railway company.
One of the greatest sources of
trouble was in providing for an ap-
proach to the wharf through public
lands touching the shoreline from
whence the company wished to build
the wharf This matter met with much
consideration by the encouragement IS
and Hemenway puzzled
over official maps marked with bulk
head and pierhead lines, and did his
best to decipher their meaning
The clauses included in the agree
ment reached are thought to provide
for the right of the company to build
the wharf, which is to be used by the
government at fixed rental, and it is
eventually, after the expiration of a
certain time, to revert to the Terri
tory.
This practically gives the Territory
a needed wharf in the bay, the total
rental not going much over the cost
of construction, and further gives the
use of it to them at once, whereas the
treasury could mot at present stand the
figure at which the cost is estimated.
