INTERNATIONAL
PROBLEMS Up

Protect the Pacific coast with
forts and ships and make it as i'm
pregnable as the Atlantic sea-
board.
This, in substance, is the text
of q resolution filed by Mayor
Moore with the city clerk today,
to be presented to the council to-
morrow evening.
The resolution was submitted to
the mayor by B. H. Silver, Bell
ingham mining broker who hopes
to have the resolution passed in
Ill cities of the state and sub
mitted by them to the legislature
at Olympia. Then it is up to the
legislature to pass the same reso-
luton and fire it ahead to con-
gress.
The resolution drafted by Mr..
Silver also asks that general
treaties of arbitration should be
negotiated by the United States
with all nations. granting jurisdic-
ton to the international court at
The Hague over as many classes
of controversies as the other con-
tracing power in each case can
be induced to transfer from bat
tie to courts; that the United
States should declare in favor of
q permanent international con-
gress containing representatives
from every nation, to assemble Pc
riodically and automatically for
the purpose of suggesting such
changes in the law of nations and
in the method of its administra-
ton as the current of events may
make desirable and practicable.

BOOZE LICENSE
FOR TOPERS

OLYMPIA, Jan. Ex-senator
Whitney of Spokane has some no.
ton on the saloon question, which
are neither favored by tie liquor
interests or those who aim for pro-
hibition. Instead of licensing the
man who sells liquor, sWMtney
would license the man who drinks
it.
His scheme is to allow anybody
who wants to, to sell liquor, but
only to persons who havea LICENSE
to drink it. The license is DOM
plicated affair containingsth the / de-
tails of the drinkers phyHical
makeup and his picture. Il
When a licensed drinRer gets
drunk the first time, he will be
fined or imprisoned and his license
to drink taken from him for a few
days. The second jag results in
greater fine and longer suspen-
sion from the delights of alcohol
but the third and last time puts
the drinker in with the perpetual
camels and nobody may sell him
drink, not even If he were to be
bitten by snake.
There is series Of fines and
imprisonments for the seller of
liquor who sells anything to man
who does not show his license.
Whitney's bill is one of the first
of the freaks" and, of course,
hasn't the remotest chance of4get-
ting on the statute books, but it
will afford Whitney some amuse-

While the financiers, manufac-
turers and merchants of the east
and middle west are slowly recov-
ering from the financial depression,
the farmers of the great west are
selling their 100000 crop,
and not only enjoying prosperity
themselves, but giving new spirit
to the business life of the entire
nation.
None can begrudge the western
farmers their good fortune. They
richly deserve all the reward that
comes to them, not only in one
years ease and comfort, but In
settled prosperity
1t Is the farmers that have con-
verified our vast domain from
wilderness into rich fields, and
made possible the flourishing
cities. Limitless tracts, that were
once arid deserts, have been made
by them the granary of the world.
Agriculture has ever been and
ever will be the backbone of all
business in this country.
The prosperous. middle aged
farmer of the west today, facing
his declining years in comfort and
plenty, may be envied by the wage
worker of the cities.
But let us not forget that the
farmer has bought his present con-
dition at cost of ceaseless toll and
tireless energy, of almost incon-
ceivable self denial and sacrifice,
of hunger, cold and mental suffer
ing, of disappointments and dis
couragements that only the fittest
could survive.
If any life could be harder than
was that of the pioneer farmer OF
the west, 1t was that of his wife,
She, generally without help and
with little to do with, cooked the
meals, did the family washing and
the sewing, MIXED the cows, raised
the chickens, made the soap and
apple butter and baked the bread
and pies, brought up generous

Many think Miss Ward is an

A PATRIA SOCIETY HELD
SUCCESSFUL OUTING.

The annual basket picnic OF the A
Patria Society was held at the PEN
Ursula on Sunday last. and most
enjoyable affair II was, too. A spe-
cial train conveyed large number
OF excursionists to the picnic ground
and the family parties soon spread
over the beautiful lawns.
A program of sports was run on,
and some exciting events were seen {:
the running races were well contest
ed, and In fact all the different
stunts were very much enjoyed.
Dancing was In order, and pretty
well all day the seductive strains OF
the merry waltz and more lively two
step were to be heard. A baseball
game was also played and much in
terest was taken In the match. The
Concordia band was out in full
strength, and the music was much
appreciated by the picnickers. The
band. at the close of the day, played
the Portuguese national hymn, fol-
lowed by the Star Spangled Banner.
Cheers were given for the A Patria
Society and for the Glorious Fourth.
I Count Canavarro, Hon. A. ID. Cas-
tro and Major Camara were noticed
among those present, and they took
the greatest interest in all the do
ings OF the day.
! The whole affair went of In great
style, and the crowd seemed to have
the time Of their lives. and were
sorry when the time came to make
n startufor home.
The principal officers of the A
Patria Society are: President, V. o
Feixeira; secretary, A. p. c. Correa;
treasurer. J. C. Sousa. To these
must be given the credi of having
arranged a fine outing and one that
will rank with the best ever given
by the well-known Portuguese So
ciety.

Sullivan Will
Fight Winner
Take All

The news. as announced in yester-
days Blu letin, that Cordell and
Sullivan are matched to fight again
on Saturday. July "a. was received
with Joy by all the fight fans of the
city
The proposition that the men fight
winner take all" finds much favor
with the sporting section of the pub
lie, and 1t is hoped that that arrange
ment is carried out. Cordell has an
nounced that he is willing to fight
AL or nothing" and Sullivan. who
was seen last night. eagerly inquired
II II were n fact that Cordell wanted
to fight for the whole purse. On be-
ing informed that Joe Cohen was the
authority for the statement Dick
burst out with: Winner take all!
Sure that's my game. I'll fight Cor
dell next Saturday night on those
terms IL he feels inclined. did not
fight up to my usual form last Satur-
day, and don't know what was the
matter. Next time I'll put up a diff
ferent scrap apd will surprise Cor
dell"
The probabilities are. however,
that the men will box on percent
aeg basis and that the winner will
get 60 per cent and the loser 40.
The extra inducement. as suggested
by Joe Cohen, In the shape Of 800
bonus to the winner II a decision is
arrived at, should stir the two men
to greater efforts and make the fight
even better than that of Saturday
night last.
IL was wonderful the interest TAX
EN- on the big island n the fight;
everyone was on the job asking II
any news had come through by wire
less about 1t. and when the result
was known general satisfaction was
felt over the fact that the scrap had
ended as II did.
Cordell has formed so many friend
ships In these Islands and Dick Is
such a favorite that people who did
not wager on the event would have
been sorry to see eihter man de-
feated.
Mike Patton was such success on
Saturday night that he was at once
asked to take on the job of referee
again for the next scrap. Mike
knows all about the fight game, and
the public can rest assured that with
him in the ring as third man a
straight fight and fair decision will
be In order.
The preliminaries have not yet
been arranged. but 1t is possible that
Franklin will be seen In action with
some other lightweight. Jack Nc
Fadden has been suggested as a man
to 90 on with Franklin. and II Jack
was In any kind OF condition the go
should be a good one. But can Mac.
get into good form on such short no.
tice? Certainly two weeks training
would make a big difference In his
condition, but Jack has his job to
look after and would not be able to
devote all his time to training.
II McFadden is matched with
franklin he sure will leave no stone
unturned In his training stunts. and
should give the .AntipOdean the go
OF his life.
Joe Cohen will get busy at once
on the arrangements for the fight,
and 1t is assured that the evening
will be as good or even better. as far
as the preliminaries go. than last
Saturday night.

BanOnica Wins
Free For
All

The remaining events of the Hilo
program which were run of after
the Mauna Kea had sailed for Homo
lulu with the local people are to
hand; at least some of them are, and
the rest must have been abandoned
on account of the lateRess of the
hour.
The three-quarters mile Hawaiian
breds, purse $3.50. was won by Major
Collier. who carried l2l pounds to
victory, and thus once more estab-
'ished his superiority over Indigo
and Young Sam.
The three-quarters mile free for
all. which carried a purse of $3.50,
was won by Banonica, who had the
light impost of III pounds to carry.
No result is to hand as regards the
half-mie race for Japanese horses,
nor the last race on the program.
which was free for all over a Ave-
eighths mile course. The probabili-
ties are that the race was called of
owing to darkness setting in.
Banonica must have shown a
taste of her real form in the six fur
long race, and II will be interesting
to see what time she made over the
distance.
, Poor old Indigo had no chance of
beating Major Collier at even
weights. and II Is about time the
landscapes or there are any, got
wise to the fact. The same thing
happened on New Years Day, when
Collier defeated the good old horse
twice in exactly the same manner.
and now on the Fourth the act is re-
peated.
What is wanted In Hilo is a board
of control which will see that all the
events are run on times and that
jockeys will appear in their right
! colors, and not have to be sent back
to the paddock to have the change
made. They also want proper
handicapping system, and most OF
! all, they want stewards who will
watch out for crooked work and at
once rule on horse. jockey and own
er who indulge In such practices.
The judges were all right at Hilo.
but they cannot see and hear every
thing that goes on; a corps of stew
ards could do SO, and they would be
wise to all such funny little games
as were played at Hilo on Saturday
and Monday last.

AUTO CAR MAKES FINE DID,.
AR0UND.HAWAII TRIP

Manager John Watt of Olaa made
a round-the-island trip on Saturday
last In the remarkable time of lG
hours and minutes. The distance
covered was 253 miles. and as the
roads in spots were in bad condition
the record is likely to stand for many
u year to come.
The trip from Kona to Waimea was
fierce, the roads being In very bad
order. However, taking It altogeth-
er. the roadbeds were fairly good.
Waimea was reached ia 2:35 and
Honokaa at 3:30. Mr.. Watt, who
was accompanied by Engineer Dun
can of Olaa Mill, reports that he met
with no mishap whatever and that
the whole trip was made on % gal
Ions of gasoline. Three pints OF
water only were consumed, and the
tires showed no sign of the rough
usage they met on the tour.
The auto car used by the record
makers is four-cylinder machine
and has no batteries. The party
had very lonely trip from the 1887
flow, and, excepting n jackass. saw
no living creature for thirty miles.
