PARTY CONFERENCE.

The efforts of the Kansas City Post
for a conference of Democrats of the
state this fall is meeting with much
encouragement from all sections.
That conference of party workers
for the purpose of bettering party
conditions is advisable none will
deny, provided that such result will
surely follow. The principle obiec-
tions so far offered, outside of few
freak letters stimulated by personal
groucheS, are that the feeling is so
intense between the Folk men and
old-line Democrats that meeting
would intensity the feeling and widen
the breach. The great majority,
however, take the broad and liberal
view that every Democrat has per-
feet right to hold and express his
preference of party men and policies,
and with all having chance to talk
out, common ground upon which
all can stand could be found, ~and
much good be accomplished. II
Democrats meet in a conclliatory,
compromising frame of mind, imbued
with the sole idea of party good, there
is no question of the splendid results
to follow. The Democratic party has
a safe majority in the state, with no
serious differences intervening, but
the old-time maiorities are things of
the past. Every true Democrat in
the state can attend such a conference
as is proposed, lay aside preiudiceS
and passions, if he is SO inocculated,
after he has had full opportunity to
explode, and meet all other Demo-
Gratis as brothers engaged in the same
great cause. The party'S welfare is
far above all personal considerations,
and if so regarded such a meeting
would be productive of splendid re-
suits.
Such a meeting should be called by
the proper authority, the state COM
mittee and take upon itself all the
functions of convention, aside from
the actual naming of ticket. Every
Democratic worker in the state should
attend and make it a memorable polit-
ical gathering to which the party can
always look back with pride and
qualification.

Maryville, Mo-, Aug. 22.-What
has been perhaps the most ludicrous
educational controversy in the state
for years was finally settled when the
board of regents this afternoon Sc
cured the resignation Of DR.. Homer

As DR.. H. X. Taylor, of Winchester,

of the school during that time and DR..
Taylor will represent the normal at
the county institutes and in other
kinds of field work. AS DR.. Cook
had two year contract with the
board it was impossible for the anti
Cook men on the board to get more
satisfactory adjustment. This is, how
ever, the first adjustment that DR..
Cook has agreed to and all factions

Since last Monday this much-regu-
lated land has been living under re-
quirements of all the new laws enact
ed by the last Legislature of Missouri,
says the st. Louis Times. Some of
these are excellent. Some of them
are Jokes. One of the new laws
which is excellent, and which there
fore is no joke, is one which deeply
appealed to the hearts of the gentle
men composing the majority which
passed it. This is the law making it
a felony to steal hogs, The Missouri
farmer has been a patient and faithful
laborer in that portion of the vine
yard he has been able to claim as his,
and at times his spirit has been sore
tried by the tempeStuous invaSions of
thievish men of drooling lip who low

came from. Meum ct tuum these

WAIANAE WINS
BY LARGE SCORE

BY defeating the Waialuas on the lat
ter diamond last Sunday to the tune
of 9 to 4, the Waianae plantation boys
again demonstrated that they have en-
tered an aggregation of classy ball
tossers in the series of games of the
plantation league now being played
with the neighboring teams, of whom
they should well be proud.
There was the usual Waianae crowd
gathered around the ground to see the
game, and the fans cheered heartily for
their side. The game was an interest
ing one, and both teams played first
class ball, but the Waianaes proved a
little too good for the visitors. Lin
coin Achiu was in the box for the Wal
aluas and did some heady work, while
Twirler George Meyer pitched an ex-
cellent game.
The game started at LIS p. m. with
1.-The Waianaes at bat and the Waialuas
in the field. In the first two innings
the Waialuas scored two runs against
the Waianaes' goose-eggs. In the
third, fourth and fifth the Waianaes tai
Lied four runs and the Waialuas made
! nothing. In the sixth the Waianaes
piled up four more runs, and it was in
this inning that Nanny Teves of Waia-
lua made the only home run of the day,
| and for the rest of the game the teams
scored only one run each, and the game
ended with the score to 4 in favor

| into the air and INDUCED in shouts of
victory.
After the game the visitors were es-
| corted to the residence of A. Simpson,
| manager of the Waianaes, who had
some refreshments already prepared
for them, and most pleasant time was
spent there. Mr.. Simpson is true
| sportsman and his courtesy was much
| appreciated by the visiting team.
The championship game of the season
will be played between the Ewas and
| the Waianaes, who are tied for first
place, and it is to be played at the
league grounds. The date for this game
| will be arranged at a meeting of the
| Oahu Plantations Baseball League to
! be held at Eva on this coming Sunday.

Waialuas and Waianaes:

WAlANAE AND
EVA ARE TIED
Plantation League Standing.

1t looks as though there Were going
to be hard struggle for the champion
ship of the plantation league between
Eva and Waianae. These two teams
are tied for first place, and when they
come together for the final struggle
there will be something doing of very
strenuous variety.
Last Sunday the Ewas handed it to
the tailenders again by score of Is
to 2. The Aiea team tried both Lima
nui and Benito in the box, but neither
one of them. could do very much with
the Handy Kids, who swatted out
eleven bingles.
Clark pitched his usual brilliant game
for the winners. He gave a pass to
only one man and struck out eleven of
them, while he was credited with two
runs, two assists and one putout from
his strike-outs. The Eva team made
only four errors, while the losers were
debited with nine.
There will be a meeting at Eva next
Sunday to decide the last three games
of the league. There is protested
game between Waialua and Eva. The
line-ups were:
Aiea-J. Benito, CT. and p; Limanui

walked and the bases were full. Mill
kaa showed incipient signs of rattle by
walking Fred Markham and Dreier
strolled In. Then the Saints got trifie
tangled. Hoopii skied way off in cen
ter field, it was an ideal sacrifice with
the bases full and only one man down,
but the coach evidently thought there
Were two men dowp, so Robinson on
third did not run after the bali was
caught. Then Espinda popped and so
only one run was scored.
The Hams tied the score in the sec
on half of the inning, due to a muffed
bunt and bingle by Kalimapehu which
scored Milikaa. In the fifth the Hams
repeated the dose and Mckenzie scored
on a bingle, two steals and pitcher s
error. This put the score to in favor
of the Hams and it looked poor for the
Saints.
Both Score in Sixth.
But the Saints came back strong in
the sixth and scored two more This
they did very neatly ON two hits and a
very costly error by Akana. These two
taliies put them one in the lead, but
positions were reversed after the end
of the inning, for the Kams also scored
two runs
There were two men down. Milikaa
and Akana both famed, but Kalima-
pehu singled and stole second. McIn-
tyre hit a hot one to center field, which
Robinson fooled, and by the time the
ball was anywhere near the plate Kali
mapehu had scored and the swift-footed
Mcintyre had actually romped the en-
tire distance around the diamond.
In the seventh inning the Saints
scored their last three runs. Dreier
and Xavier, who was catching for Ouni,
were both safe on errors; then Robin
son bingled and the bases were full
with none down. Bill Markham did the
right thing with a clean base hit and
Dreier and Xavier romped. Then Fred
| Markham hunted and Milikaa got rat
tied and did not know where to throw
the ball. He made as though to send
to the plate, saw it was too late, turned
to first and saw it was too late there,
too, and just naturally froze on to the
! ball.
An Exciting Period.
| The second half Of the ninth was the
i exciting period. There was no score in
| the eighth and the Saints were disposed
| of in the first of the ninth with Bill
| Markham on third. Then the Hams
came up to make two runs to tie the
| score. They made one of them, but
| could not get the necessary second.
/ Kalimapehu singled, but Mcintyre
skied. Then Kalimapehu went to sec
| on passed ball and to third on a poor
throw by Xavier to second. Then Bar
tells singled and Kalimapehu romped
| After that Mckenzie skied and Kama
iopili died. Then there was much re
! joicing by the Saints.

THE BAND FOR
PEARL HARBOR

The Mayor and the Supervisors will
go on the big excursion to Pearl Har-
Dor next Sunday. They received invf-
tations from the yacht club and
stated that nothing would please them
more than to take part in such an
event
Also the band will be there. Cap.
tain Berger is delighted with the pros
pect of sail to Pearl Harbor and
states that his musicians are all good
sailors and will keep everybody feel
ing lively with music all the way
down.
The start will be made from the
wharf at the foot of Fort street at 10
O'Clock Here the Mokolii and the
Luka will be made fast with the tow
line already passed, and as soon as
the passengers are on board the
steamer with the dainty yacht behind
her will pull away and make room
for the other yachts.
Then when everybody is aboard and
the yachts have their sails set, the
fleet will sail out of the harbor with
flags flying and band playing.
1t bids fair to be one of the greatest
sights ever seen on the harbor. Never
before have so many yachts been
brought together in one fleet here, and
1t will be something worth remember
ing when the white-winged craft, led
by the stately Luka, skim out of the
harbor before the trade wind.
The excursion is a great topic of
conversation round town, and the only
fear that the yachtsmen have is that
there will be more requests for tick
cts than there is accommodation. For
this reason everybody should get in
early Make up your mind which boat
tyou wish to sail on, then come right
to the Advertiser office and purchase
the necessary tags which will entitle
you TO place on one of the yachts
or on the steamer.
