MIGHT HURT THE BUSINESS

Business men are afraid to take
an active part. as q rule, in max,
ing and maintaining the right
kind Of government, says the
Fargo Search. Light. They are
afraid of hurting their bust
ness" but if there is q remote
possibility Of the same business
being in any manner harmed
they want the i'm mediate pro-
lection of all the courts and the
whole Of the constabulary and
police Of the country. They are
insistant. about having all sorts
of protection for themselves and
their business but they refuse
to take a hand and help along re-
form in government and a clean
ing up in politics, because 1T
might hurt my business" The
average business man is a moral
coward. The only place he
shows courage is when he has an
opportunity to dig out more
money from the public or private
pockets. In such cases greed,
his love Of money pushes him on
to act, and to get after the al
dollar as a hungry man
chases a good dinner.
It should be and is the duty of
business men to be prominently
and conspicuously active in all
that pertains to government,
particularly good government
and clean politics, and not throw
9 double burden, as nowyson the
farmer. the mechanic, the lab
orer, and many professional men
that of supporting and main
tanning government.
Business men must wake up.
The people are getting exceed
ingly tired of the political cow
ards in politics, and they are
numerous.

Dave Carlson of the Bottineau
Courant, wants to see the pri-
mary election law repealed be-
cause he says the poor man has
no show to get office. He speaks
of one candidate last year paying

The law may be defective in
some ways, but the people as a
rule are we'll satisfied with it.
1t does away with the bosses.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-It is be-
lieved here that there is a well-devel-
oped plan on foot looking toward the
consolidation of the Republic of Mex
leo with the various States of Central
America. The rumor seems to have
strong foundation and is apparently
given credence in high official quar-
tiers.
The plan, so well authenticated re-
port says, is to amalgamate the coun-
tries under the name of the United
States of Central America. Mexico is
said to be committed to the proposal.
Such a move would make Mexico the
dominant power in all Central Ameri-
can matters and would give that coun-
try immense influence. The plan does
not meet with the favor of high off,

There is to be such excellent cuis-
Inc for Christmas at the Pleasanton
Hotel that applications for seats
are in great demand. The private
dining room has already been en-
gagged, and the management is at a
loss to know how to accommodate
all the guests. The quiet home
spirit that prevails at this reason is
feature of the place, and it's re-
fined seclusion and privacy, and the
tropical beauty and splendid appoint
ments appeal strongly to people VINO
require these essentials.
Among the various entertainments
being planned for the suspicious day
is thirty light Christmas tree for
the declaration of the small folks of
the hotel and their loial friends.
Quite the most stupendous recep-
ton of the season was given on
Thursday afternoon from four to six,
when Mrs. W. w. Hall introduced
her daughter-in-law Mrs. Seymour
Hall, and her friend, Mrs. Stanley
Roberts of California, to local So
ciety.
1t has been planned to hold the re-
ception under the spacious shade trees
on the smooth green lawn, but
sudden shower altered this idea, and
the hostess received within the old
mansion that holds a revered his
tory This house is the oldest below
Judd street in Honolulu. 1t was built
in New England, and brought round
the Horn over fifty-seven years ago.
Within, the house was prettily dec
GRATED with hanging baskets of maid
en- hair ferns, stately palms and
green's, while at intervals, clusters OF
pale pink double hibiscus blooms
loaned delicate touch of color to
the ensemble of tropic beauty. At
the entrance the guests were greeted
by Miss Hall and received in turn by
Mrs. Hail who introduced Mrs. Sey-
mour Hall and Mrs. Stanley Roberts.
In one room, punch was served at
a table made very attractive by
sprays of pink begonias and over
which Miss Nora Sturgeon and Miss
Lillian Patty presided.
Tea and coffee were served by Mrs.
Gartley Mrs. Hobby and Mrs. Henry
Waterhouse, assisted by Miss Hall.

won her ardent frieds both here and

the previous entertainments given by

Circle has, through diifgent effort, OBJ
tanned the cream of Honolulu's talent,
and as tickets will be available for all
who may care to attend no doubt a
large attendance will repay her. On
former occasions the guests invited to
these musicales were restricted to the
members OF the league only and a
friend, but the programme being so
excellent, it was considered better this
time to grant the privilege to all.
Among the attractive numbers are
the following:
A sketch of Schubert's life and
songs, by Mrs Frank Anterior; sew
eral piano selections by Miss Sheffield
and Miss Wickstrum. Mrs. Allan
White, who is so thoroughly familiar
