Death Claims
DR.. Beckwith
Was Loved by All Who
Knew Him.

Rev. Dr. Edward Griffin Beck
with of Hamakuapoko who died at
Paia hospital during the early morn
ing of the 3rd was universally be-
loved for his good works, his high
character, his purity of mind, his
nobility of soul.
He loved his fellowmen and they
loved him whether as teacher,
preacher, or citizen.
As a citizen he loved his country
much, was intensely patriotic. He
was always desirous to exercise the
right of suffrage esteeming it not
only a duty but a pleasure.
No one of his congregation can
ever forget the eloqucnce of his
Thanksgiving sermons in praise of
his native land; nor can any of his
auditors fail to remember his
patriotic address delivered at Paia
church at the public reception to
Senator Cullom and Congressman
Hit.
AS teacher he was unexcelled.
He was the second president of
Oahu College and did much in
educating and training many of the
prominent men of the Territory.
Hon. II. P. Baldwin and his con-
temporaries in Hawaii nei, the
children of the Hawaiian mission,
were educated by DR.. Beckwith at
Punahou.
He was the minister of ii church
in the Mission District of San Fran
cisco of the Central Union church
of Honolulu, and of the Makawao
Union church. As preacher as
well as a speaker he was most
eloquent. He was simple and direct
in his theology and in his methods
of thought. He was not an ex-
ponent of the higher criticism and
had little liking for advanced
philosophical thought as applied to
theology.
In his beliefs he was orthodox but
not bigotcd. He was a fine type of
the New England Puritan which he
was by birth and training. His
tenderness, his sympathy, his chari-
ty for the weakness of human nature
were predominating traits of charac-
ter. with malice toward none and
charity for alp especially applied
to DR.. Beckwith.
In his social life he exhibited the
courtesy of the old time gentleman.
He was slow to anger and long
suffering. One of his most con-
spicuous qualities was his spirituah-
ty,-his unshaken belief in the i'm
mortality of the soul--and all
Christian teachings. His more than
four score years have been well
spent.
Dr. Beckwith was born at Great
Darlington, Mass, Nov 10Th, 1926.
He had two brothers and one sister:
Daniel, Morris and Martha. Daniel,
the older brother is still living in
the old home village at the age of
So as is also the sister.
Morris lived for many years in
the Hawaiian Islands, teaching
during the early years at the Royal
in Honolulu, with his
brother, Edward.
Dir. Beckwith graduated from
Williams College, after which he
taught a year at Westfield, Mass.
Then came the call to the Sand !
wich Islands, to teach in the Royal

Board Holds
Meeting
Supervisors Transact Much
Needed Business.

Pursuant to a call issued by all OF
the members of the board of Super
visors the entire board met in the
Office of the County Clerk Saturday
morning for the purpose of appoint
ing road overseers and the transac-
ton of other needed business.
Supervisor w. p. Haia moved the
suspension of the rules and that the
matter of appointing the road over
seers he taken up. This motion was
seconded by T. T. Meyer and car
ried.
Haia moved the appointment of
F. Witrock as road overseer for
Hama. The motion was seconded
by Meyer and carried.
Haia moved the appointment of
F. Somcrfeld as road overseer for
Wailuku. The motion was second
ed by Meyer. T. B. Lyons moved
the appointment of Thomas Clark
as road oversecr which motion was
seconded by Kauhi. The vote was
strictly a party vote and was dccid-
ed by the chair in favor of Sommer-
field.
Haia nominated Decoto for La
haina which nomination was second
ed by Meyer. Kauhi nominated
Philip Pali- which nomination was
seconded by Lyons. The chair voted
with Haia and Meyer and Decoto
was appointed.
II. II. Meyer. nominated J. II.
Mahoe as road overseer for Molokai.
This nomination was seconded by
Haia. Lyons nominated Paia MAXI
which nomination was seconded by
Kauhi. The chair decided in favor
of the Republican instead of Maxi.
When the matter of the bonds for
the various officers came up for con-
sideration Chairman w. f. Pogue
gave notice that he would not serve
under resolution number 50 which
made each supervisor irresponsible
with the road overseer of his dis
trict. He said that tho road work
should be in the hands of the road
overseer and that that officer should
be responsible to the Board for his
acts but that the individual super
visors should not butt in on work
of that kind.
The bonds of Keliinoi and Groves,
were received and accepted.
A communication from County
Attorney J. l.. Coke was read and
he was excused from attendance at
the special meeting of the board.
A resolution was introduced by
Haia requiring each road overseer to
file his bond and oath of office with
the County Clerk not later than the
next regular meeting of the board.
AT this point Supervisor Lyons
registered a kick because of the re-
ceipt of a written opinion from the
County Attorney. He objected to
the reading of the opinion. Chair
man Pogue stated that he had not
seen the opinion nor knew any thing
of its nature. He said that he, as
an officer had requested an opinion
from the County Attorney and that
he had a right to request an opinion.
Lyons said that he objected to any
member requesting an opinion. He
said that any opinion requested
should be done by the board and
not by single member. AT this
novel statement there was general
smile. The opinion was gotten rid
of in a most unusual way. After
part Of the communication was read
the whole thing was filed and it is
more than probable that none OF the
members of the board know to this
day the nature Of at least part of
the communication.
Two communications sent the

Why Plain Men Attract Beautiful
Women.

A fact { hat no one can deny IS
that for some women a really plain
man seems to nave a definite power
Of attraction. Can it be that, il
beautiful themselves. they find a
charm in their opposite; or is it that
they brook no rival near the throne,
and see in a handsome man more or
less OF a competitor? \ cookbook
ing husband or brother attracts no
tice. and Her Royal Highness Wom-
an may refuse to be in the back
ground. At any rate, there can be
doubt that an ugly man seems often
to WELD an influence that is quite
uncanny
The trend of the times may have
something to say on the subject A
modern woman, with her brains and
her freedom and her strenuous ideals
has no use for what is weak. insip-
i'd, and decadent. She has no place
in her heart 70 rthe scented exquisite
who waves his hair, twists his
moustache, manicures his hands, and
admires his face in the looking-glass.
In fact, pink and white prettiness is
now at a discount. and most of us
would sooner see our men brown
and battered and serenely conscious
of their own lack of attractions.
Rougb-hewn features, we say. show
strength. and a plain form may be
the shell of a great soul, keen
brain. and soaring ambitions. Ger
tain it is that the Adonis type has
gone out of fashion. The woman of
today scorns the beauty man,
avoids him as a friends, and disre-
CARDS him as a husband.-Mrs. Fitz-
roy Stewart in the January Strand

TO HONOR SOUTHERN WOMEN
Design Submitted by Miss Belle Kin
ney Was Chosen.

Atlanta, Dec. 30.-A southern girl

a weeping woman on the other side
The central figure will be eight feet
in height, and the other two sever
feet The statue Will be eight fee
by five and half feet at base.
Miss Kinney was awarded the priz,
after eighty designs were submitted
to the committee and had been care
fully inspected.

YoAKUM AND THE BROWNSVILLE
ROAD.


The Caller is pleased Al the news
shat 3. F. Yoakum Is likely to be the
controlling factor in the St. LOUIS
brownsville & Mexico road hereafter;
also that B. F. Us new field Of oper-
atiOns lies Ia the Southwest. rather
than in the north and in Wall street.
He has always been q constructor, a
developer. For that he is called the
Jim Hill OF the Southwest. He is also
che friend of Texas. the friend of the
GulR Coast. and of the Gulf Coasts
chief city and tide water outlet, Cor
pus Christi
All that is better and more service
able than being a Spectator, a mere
dabbler in stocks. 4 magician like Jay
Gould. who wrecked and ruined when
II suited his purpose.
Less than twenty-five years ago
Ehis man YOakum, VINO bulks next to
Hartman in the railroad world, was
the local commercial agent of the
GBuid lines in San Antonio. He was
a native Texan and had previously
peddled fruit trees foF a start.
In association with Jriah Lott, who
mas built more small railroads on
nothing than any man in the United
states, he helped raise the capital for
the san Antonio & Arkansas Pass road.
This gave him a start.
From the S. A. & A. p. to the man
agement of the Santa Fe system and
from the Santa Fe to the control OF
both the Frisco and Rock Island sys-
zems, which he consolidated. were
prodigious leaps as easy to him as
turning so many handsprings.
1t was he, in cooperation with
Robert J. Kleberg. John G. Kennedy
and other big pasture owners, who
devised the land bonus plan which
Quilt the Brownsville road and opened
hundreds OF thOusans of acres to
saTns and townsites between here and
the Rio Grande. IL has created new
wealth as if by magic, for all con-
cerned, and has transformed Corpus
Christi from a sleepy town to hust
iiEg and ambitious seaport city. That
much we owe YOaKun and his assO-
ciates in the Brownsville road.
Yoakum has doomed SO large IN
railroad affairs of late years as to eK-
cite the jealousy, if not alarm, of less
capable but ambitious magnates.
That was the cause of his break with
theMoores and Dan Reid. the owners
of the 4.ock Island. 1t was IOakum

great Frisco-Roek Island System with
numerous small lines which carried

cut a few days ago in New York, said
they pocketed a loss of 100000 to
