a purpose. They knew what they wanted and how to express their wants.
 The resolutions adopted speak well for the intelligence of the farmers and their representatives. A few of the things they pledged themselves to work for are CO., operation in the buying of supplies and selling products; establishment of allied industries, such as canning and pickling factories: protection of intending farm CTS against imposition and fraud; keep ing in touch with the agricultural col leges and experiment stations: raising the educational standards of the coun- try schools: the instalment of a parcels post; and the passing of the Davis bill. now before Congress. It was also decided to hold annual fair for the exhibition of the products of Jewish farmers.
 It is interest sting to note. that substan- tially the same concentrations are contained in the report of the Commis- sion on Country Life submitted by Pres ident Roosevelt to Congress on February g, nearly month after this convention.
 Thus far the only thing accomplished by the convention was the formation of a national organization-The Federation of Jewish Farmers of America. Whether this organization will be able to attain the objects which called it into existence 1t is yet too early to make any forecasts. Some of these no doubt will be carried through; others probably not. But whether anything else Is accom- plished, the fact that the farmers came together: that they found common ground for united effort; and that their views are in consonance with the best thought of the day is not a bad begin ming.

From the Washington Times.
 Gen Rufus N. Rhodes, editor of the Birmingham News in the fair state of Alabama, is not a sweet and shrinking violet.
 Rather he figures as a royal Jacquem- mot rose in the flower garden of south ern eloquence, delight to the eyes of every beholder. The poet who worked up fine ecstasy about flowers born to blush unseen, had not cast his inspired eye down the corridors of posterity to encounter the person of Rhodes.
 The above statement is a necessary preface to a description of the manner In which William Howard Taft, the President-elect,, is spending his Sunday in Washington. He attended divine serv- i, ices at All Souls Unitarian church this morning, and this afternoon he will have three callers, Senator Hopkins of Illi- nois, Representative Overstreet of h. diana, and Stephen B. White of Brook lyn, the latter the moving spirit in hay ing erected the Martyrs monument, which MT. Taft helped to dedicate in Brooklyn several months ago.
 The Grand Echo.
 As a matter of fact, however, MT Taft has been principally engaged today in trying to get out of his ears the grand echo, the wonderful resound of the cata- ract of conversation through which he has passed during the last three months. Such a work is necessary before he can undertake the duties of the Presidency with Q olaar nd ,,npraiudinad ,aind Most of this talk was passed to him in the south, and above all the echo of it, the dominant note, the commanding chorus. is still the voice of General Rhodes.
 A calm and impartial review of the time the President-elect spent in the south-a period when loyal democrats did the chameleon act and turned their eyes toward the banner of republcanism must end in the conclusion that the most important. the most spectacular feat was the performance of Rhodes
 Nothing like it had ever been done before. It took the south by storm and set it by the ears.
 Rhodes did not perform once Twice nay, three times-he stood beneath the great white 1imelight of publicity and in- Nlteu the notice or n1S fellows He got it. One sentence, pronounced by him in Augusta, Ga, went bounding through the southern press and returned to him un- solicited, full of javelns and other in- struments of torture.
 This little gem was as follows:
 A Benediction.
 Judge Taft if you knew the heart and the head of the men of the south, and particularly of Birmingham, you would know that they regard the result of the last election as benediction from God Almighty Himself to the people of the south over their own protest"
 It was a great moment. Backed by his unsuspecting associates stricken to his knees by the force of his own ire sistible tongue, the great general fell to his knees before the leader of the party he had fought in the columns of his own newspaper He did 1t well, accompanying the prostration with gestures acquired by long and patient study of the most strik- ing attitudes of Washington in peace.

poeon in war and gladiator in death.
 In the twinkling of an eye, by the opening of mouth, he had swept away the months of constant toll he had en- dured in trying to persuade the people of Birmingham that William Jennings Bryan was the only man who could save the republic. the bleeding republic, the drift ing republic. the republican republic.
 In the south a newspaper editor, sit ting in his sanctume and dipping his pen in the founts of howery praise and the well of discreet invective is regarded as a great man. The general spoke as if he knew that. But in a brief space, he showed by his remarks that he enter l tained, either for the statements of his l own newspaper or for the worth of con ], sistency, a profound and a sublime con ] tempt
 1 Makes Apology. l Since that speech the general has 7pol- l ogized for it. He has explained that he | in doing up the south in a sweet pink ribbon package and handing it to Mir | Taft, he went further than he intended He has said, in earnestness and sad ness that he is a man of impulse, and that impulse got the best of him. He had not prepared his speech, he declared, and the extemporaneous char acter of his remarks and his sentiments were accountable for his extraordinary utterances. Scorning preparation for the event, he had preferred to offer him. al iof hafa ha nf ip- spiration to be waited at will on the sunny seas of dreamy phrases, pumping idly against islands of flowers, wanting neither rudder nor a life preserver.
 Hardly had there come a pause in the storm of abuse with which the southern press welcomed the generals speech when he once more appeared at Atlanta when MT. Taft was a guest in that city. There, however, the doughty general made no speech, but he was on the job with conversation and explanation. His third appearance was at New Orleans when Taft returned from Panama Again the general made no speech until late at night when the Taft train ar rived at Birmingham, the native city of Rhodes.
 A Vivid Flow
 But, altogether, there came from the general such vivid flow of language such an inspiring grouping of words, that today he is the dominant note in the ears of the President-elect. Governor Noel of Mississippi on one occasion talked to the President-elect nearly whole day, but his performance was as nothing to that of Rhodes. The armored cruisers fired salutes to MT. Taft, but their martial bark was as a whisper to the pronounce ments of Rhodes.
 So long as history shall last there will be in it always the picture of Gen Rufus N. Rhodes, rising from the voluminous wealth of his frock coat and ascending into the silky confines of his high nat. MT. .Tafts southern tour accomplished much. brought out many things but, above all, 1t established General Rhodes fame as talker and as a faithful fol- lower of democracy. republicanism and patriotism all at the same time.

One day during his last campaign as he stepped from tho train at the station of his home town after a month of stumping and glad handing, , his little daughter rushed up to him and kissed him.

ABOUT THE CHANGE

The departure of Mr. Bidgood from
Haleiwa has been a source of wonder
to everyone who has ever visited the
place and to all of Mr. Bidgood's
friends. That he has made good there,
as everywhere else he has been goes
without saying and the public felt that
he was permanent fixture at the ho-
tel. Mr.. Kimball who succeeds him
has all of the qualifications of a good
hotel man and will be as popular as
his predecessor. He is well known
here has a most of friends and is a
good handler of the golf sticks The
patrons of Haleiwa may rest assured
of as polite attention at the hands of
Manager Kimball and staff as the place
was noted for under the management
of Mr.. Bidgood.

WHITNEY
DECISION

Judge Whitney, in overruling plea
in bar of defendants in the ejectment
case of Frank Archer against S. Naka
and J. Sakehara, rendered a written
decision Among other things he
said:
although there are decisions of
courts entitled to much respect, to the
contrary, the rule seems to be now
established that Judgment on a de-
murrer going to the merits of an &C
ton may be pleaded as a bar to sub
sequent action involving the same
subject. In this respect a Judgment
on demurrer stands on the same foot
ing as judgment after verdict. This
rule is nothing but the ancient rule
of res judicata, rule not only salu-
tary but necessary TO prevent endless
litigation. The rule howevr only
holds where the decision on the de-
murer goes to the merits and not to
the form of the action"

MASQUERADING YOUTH FOOLS
HOTELS AND jokes WITH JAR
RETT.

Probably having heard of how some
out-of-towners occasionally trlcked no
tells for fancy feds, soft beds and sun
dry drinks and smokes, young Ha-
waiian CHAP, name at present un-
known, has done the Alexander
Young Hotel, the Haleiwa Hotel and,
incidentally. played joke on Big Bill
Jarret, City and County Sheriff.
Arrayed in his best garments this
particular youth registered at the
Young hotel and passed himself as a
son of Governor Baker of Hawaiian
fame. Baker is a name that carries
weight and dignity and importance and
the hotel folks thought the glad-ragged
youngster was a little bit of just all
right.
SO the kid ordered up dinners, cock
tails, cigars, champagne and what-not
till the belboys got dizzy.
To put touch of humor to his
masquerade, the lad invited Sheriff
Jarrett to be his guest on one occasion.
The boy also took trip to Haleiwa
and played a similar game. Z
But now he is conspicuous by his
absence and his bills are unpaid, ana
he is not Governor Bakers son, and
his right name IS not known, and
they haven't seen him since. Also, Bill
Jarrett is looking for MIN.
