Bryan on Advertising.

It is the lot Of wise men to be
asked fool questions. In fact, The
asking is the acknowledgement 81
the wisdom Of the man Of whom The
inquiry is made. Nobody ever asks
a fool question Of a fool, for a foo
answers a fool according to his folly,
and there is no question whereto che
asker 50 honestly wants a wise an
swer as a fool question.
This being SO, the man who asked
William Jennings Bryan whether he
believed in advertising paid Mr..
Bryan q compliment. It happened
in Reading, Pennsylvania, this winter,
and the modern Commoner indeed
showed that he was a wise man by
the reply he made. 1t was:
The fellow who tries to attract
business without advertising is like
the fellow who throws his sweetheart
a silent kiss in the dark. He knows
what he is doing, but nobody else

PROGRESS ON SCHELL CANAL
Washington Correspondent Tells Of the Work
Being Done Of the Big Irrigation Project.

The Washington la.) correspon-
dent of the Church Point Advocate
writes as follows:
The work on the great Schell canal
under the proprietorship Of the Union
Irrigation Co., is progressing rapidly
and it will not be long before we
may see the clear waters Of the Cour-
tableau and AtchsfaIaya rivers run
ming down the colossal canal and ir-
igating thousands Of acres Of rice.
Your correspondent had an interview
with Mr.. P. B. Sender, one of the
civil engineers Of the company, and
learned from him that in the course
Of two weeks the main canal would be
finished far as the Opelousas lateral,
which is four miles from the mouth.
The dredgeboat, which is one Of che
largest and most complete built in
the Sonth, has now been running
night and day for three weeks and
has dredged about I-5 Of the en-
tire part of Bayou Carron which is to
be dredged. The boat runs at q
capacity Of 5000 cubic yards every
"a hours. It is operated by four
men and with comparative ease as
most of the work is managed from a
set of levers and cranks. The founda-
ton pit will be completed next week.
They will attain a depth of 40 feets

There were less drunks on the po-

might have been expected the morn
ing following a Fourth of July cele-
bration One of them, an ancient Ha-
waiian had never been arrested be-
fore and so was allowed to go with
a warning. Seven or eight others,
American, Hawaiian. Norwegian and
Korean, were fined according to their
deserts.
OF gamblers there were several lots
of Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiians,

Arthur Hooker, secretary of the
Board of Control of the National Irri-

iect OF the movement is home-build-
ing His conclusion is curious read
ing for all who know how long Ha-
wall has been knocking at the nation
al reclamation movement door. 1t is
as follows:
TO what extend is your Territory
interested In these matters, We
would appreciate statement from
you as to Hawaii's interest in these
great national movements, the extent
to which you would be benefited
thereby and your ideas as to the ad
vantage or disadvantage OF this plan

The Rainbow had scarcely got out
side of Pukoo when she capsized the
men on board helping the women and
children, of whom there were a great
number to the hull of the vessel,
where they clung while the only small
boat the Rainbow carried was being
baled out. Several trips to the shore
were made in this small boat and just
after the last load had been taken
away the schooner filled and sank.
The only life lost was that of a wo-
man who succumbed from shock after
reaching land.

was made recently by The Federal au-
thorities against the use of the Mo-

After an hou" of bitter wrangling
between the opposing attorneys the
motion for continuance of the Wal
pahu riot trial was denied by Judge
Robinson this morning. This was fol-
lowing an intermission given by the
court to give an opportunity for the
cause of motion to be removed
At 4 o'clock, the time set, the mo-
ton was presented by J. Lightfoot for
continuance for and on behalf of de-
PENDANTS Jotaro Mikawa, Fushino and
K. Kawakami until such time or day
when these defendants, out OF the ten
left on trial, should have an oppor-

matters pertaining to their defense.
At 9:15 Judge Robinson continued the
hearing until 10 o'clock, thus giving
counsel for defendants three quarters

Two Hawaiians, man and wife, Ma

police cell, jagged with gin, or rather
the husband was drunk while the wife
went to the hospital with a cut face
caused by her love. The man had
felled his wife, so that she struck the

did not cut the bed with her face as
reported in another paper Both had
been drinking, hence the difficulty.

MARE DYING AS
RESULT OF NEGLECT

A valuable mare, formerly driven by
Superintendent of Public Works Mars
ton Campbell, lay dying in the govern
ment stables on Miller street on Sun
day night, and all on account of i'm
proper attention or no attention at all.
One of the witnesses to the pathetic
sufferings of the noble beast was the
young men who had for three years or
more been the stable attendant. He
says he was fired for economy's sake
and man put in his place who had
been working at the cleaning of sew
ers. The sewer-cleaner did not know
how to feed horse, with the result
that the horse lay down to die after
being improperly watered and fed.

views of Governor w. F. Frear, in re-
ference to the strike prevailing in Ha-

correct statement of the situation. The
Governor regards the strike as local,
and not calling for action on the part
OF the Federal authities.
The views of the Governor apparent

presentatives of the Japanese govern
