EMPIRE TO START
UP VAUDEVILLE

About week ago it was announced
that the moving apicture shows of Ho-
nolulu would break into vaudeville
with the coming of the new year, for
the reason that straight picture pro-
grams are ceasing to interest and
draw. While some of the show houses
have done well with the pictures, there
has been a steady falling away OF pa
tronage for months, and a change was
plainly demanded
The Park and Ari theaters have both
drifted more and more into variety,
and for two weeks these extras" have
formed the leading features of the
programs. Manager Overend began
yesterday putting in a stage and Dress
ing rooms at the Empire, preparatory
to the inevitable. He is arranging
for talent from the coast and will feat
ure vaudeville during the winter.
The. Aloha park, which seems 10
have been canned" between other
show house, has been closed up and
may remain closed. 1t is said to have
been a losing proposition for months,
the evening showers contributing
largely to its hard luck

r. B. Marshall, Chief Geographer for
vey, with headquarters at Washing
ton, D. c., returned to Sacramento
vey, with headquarters to Sacramento
recently from the Hawaiian Islands,
where he went to make investigations
preparatory to sending force Of men
to the islands to do geographical
work. This is the beginning Of a
scheme for the conservation and gen.
eral utilization of water power and
land which are now. useless, going to
waste.
In speaking of the work, Chief Geo.
grapher Marshall said today that
twelve men would be sent to the Ha-
waiian Islands December Fl and that
they would remain there about six
months before completing the neces-
sary surveys for drawing the topo-
graphical maps. The work will COM
mence at Kauai island, the northwest
ern strip of land in the group.
The map when finished will show
what water can be used to irrigate
lands which are now waste, and also
how the water can be brought to the
lands: 1t will be. the chief aid in a
great reclamation scheme, and is of so
much Importance to the islands that
the Hawaiian Government is paying
for it.-Sacramento Bee.

DENMARK
RADICAL PREMIER

In consequence Of the last cabinet
crisis from which none of the past
leaders returned to power, there is now
for the first time a radical at the helm
in Denmark. M. yBahle, the new pre-
mier, is evidently determined that no
body shall suspect him Of compromise
with power in regard to his radical
convictions, for he has issued state
ment that elected amused comment In
the European press, although in de-
mocratic Denmark it caused no spe-
cial surprise. The declaration con-
sists of three momentous resolutions:
Fable declines the title "excellency;"
NJ. Zahle refuses to wear a minister's
embroidered court dress-his SLOUGH
hat is his uniform; M. Zahle will not
attend court dinners or royal banquets.
1t may seem from the position taken
by M. Zahle that the royal court OF
Denmark was in the habit, and pos
.sessed the power, of intervening in
government matters for it's own ends,
but nothing could be farther from the
actual conditions. The Dane, of what
ever political party or conviction he
may be, will never tolerate any kind
of deals between the princes of the
royal family and the party leaders.
Court functions, therefore, lack all po-
litical significance M Zahle's de-
claration is doubtless more original
than important.
The ultra-democratic state of al
from circumstance that deserves spe-
cial mention. Madame Zahle has for
some time held the post of parliament
tary stenographer and when upon her
husbands elevation it was limited to
her that possibly it might be proper for
her to give up her position, she was very
spirited in her refusal to do so. She
felt that it was only now that the
post was becoming really interesting
lnasmuch as she could now follow her
husbands career quite closely-and
furthermore-there really came no tell
lng-supposing the glory came to
sudden end, her employment would
be more valuable than ever.
Denmark's politics are of peculiar in
terest to all Europe because for years
they have been largely revolving
around the question of how to insure
Danish neutrality, so seriously exposed
by the country's eminently strategical
position, commanding the entrance
from theNNorth Sea to the Baltic. But
Danish affairs should have a special
interest for this country as well, since
no better stock has come to this coun-
try than the Scandinavian and none
has more loyalty labored to build up
the American middle West. The rea-
son for this evidently lies in Denmark's
democratic spirit.-Christian Science
Monitor.

CENTRAL AMERICA
THE BIG PROBLEM

folks down home will be awaiting
chance to start a revolution in their
neighbours back yard while they keep
an eye on the front door.
This Central American burden is
costing the United States a pretty
penny every year At the present
time five naval vessels are required to
do patrol duty along that tropical and
perpetually disturbed coast. These are
the Dubuque, Albany, Vicksburg, Pa
ducah and Marietta-with 923 men in
the combined crews. These draw in
pay alone about 100000 month. There
are besides the officers, the cost of
maintaining the vessels, coal and other
items. Considering everything, it costs
the United States about $1,500,000 a
year to watch over Central America
which doesn't include the upkeep of
Andrew Carnegie's s75O,OOO peace in
stitution in Washington. The net re-
suit has been lot of claims against
the governments, continued disorder
down there and increasing disgust and
despair here in Washington.
There is a growing disposition to
rearrange things to make the game pay
for this very expensive candle. Sec
rotary Knox is reaching out for Chi
nese and South American business.
There are opportunities for the invest
ment of American capital in Central
America, which is comparatively vir-
gin field All that is necessary is a
few more gunboats to see that the ra-
pacious presidents-who are not presi.
dents at all, but despots of the deep
est double dyed sort-keep their hands
off the American interests that have
tn hardihood to- attempt to develop that
rich region. Secretary Root tried the
benevolent idea, and there is not the
slightest indication that it will sue
coed. All the time, it has been neces-
sary to keep warships in close touch
to make the governments such as they
are. behave civilly toward each other.
The philanthropic policy hasn't done
anything for the republics nor for the
world at large. Business is practic-
ally controlled by monOpolies contrOll-
ed in turn by the president in power.
Instead of developing commerce, these
institutions have suppressed it. Rich
regions are untapped by railroads
Foreigners who have secured claims
for this purpose have lost their capt.
tai in the maze of trickery, cupidity
and deceit which seems to shadow the
destinies of most of the countries.
At the present rate of development
the whole vast region will probably be
no better off at the beginning of the
next century than it is at the begin
ming of the present-unless Secretary
Knox should succeed in establishing a
new order of things.

the great deed of American history

badge adopted as the insignia of the

I ing words of the Declaration in which
the members pledge to achievement of
liberty their lives, possessions and

in point of age, the Society of the

membership of 800, and the number
will increase as soon as the articles OF
| incorporation are obtained from Wash
| ington.
Many of the members are residents
of Philadelphia, where the events of

place, but these by no means form a
majority of the membership. In fact,
it is widely scattered all over the
country. The North and South alike
are united in these bonds of worship

| England and the southern states had
many delegates to the Continental
| Congress that adopted the Declara-
| ton. The country wanted the advice
and the work of its biggest men, and
| nobody made any complaint at the
size of the delegation which Massa-
| chusetts sent, for this state was

mand for freedom, and those who

sons. Virginia, later to be the mothe:
