THOMAS PAINE.
All Liberal Men and Women are Exhorted
to Aid in Making the Centennial
Success.
(By George Dahlhamer.)

How the name of Thomas Paine thrills
the heart and soul of man as he reads the
wonderful truths he uttered when the mass
of people were in ignorance; how wonder
fully he predicts with almost superhuman
foresight the things that are coming true
For instance, he said if America would
free herself from England, she would be-
come one of the greatest nations on the
globe.
| often wish our Christian brethren could
give biblical prophecies to be fulfilled as
accurately as that His noble, generous
heart filled with love for down-trodden hui
mainly With the same zeal and courage
he wrote his age of Reason to free the
mind Of his fellow man from the then exist
ing superstitions. The sacrifices he made,
the toll and hardships he endured to help
man to his right place in life, and then TO
be villified, his character blackened and
his name dragged to the very depth OF pol
luton by Christians should be enough to
make any man who has brains to read and
think, abhor and detest system that VIII
degrade a man by whose efforts they enjoy
the privileges they do.
Freethinkers and Liberal people every
where should give the matter more thought
and consideration, and all put shoulder
to the wheel to give the cause and him the
honor and justice due them.
Let us one and all give him honor and
praise for his noble deeds.
June 8, 1909, will be one hundred years
since his death, and the Paine Historical
Society will hold an anniversary in COM
memoration Of the event, at New Rochelle,
New York, and all who can should contrib
ute TO the cause to make it a rousing dem
Cnstraticn worthy of his name and deeds.
All who can contribute, will remit funds
to DR.. e. b. Foote, 100 Lexington Avenue,
New York.
Dear Liberals, do not neglect this impor-
tant matter Think of the glorious liberty
we enjoy rendered us by Thomas Paine.

COUNTY MULES ILL
TREATED BY employees

Two white mules, the property of the
City and County of Honolulu, were bad
ly treated in Manoa yesterday, when
employees of the road department sub
jected them to beating and prodding,
a longhandled shovel being used upon
their backs. Miss Rose Dawson had
her attention called to the matter and
she went to the place and saw only a
few blows, the men desisting when they
saw her approach.
The mules have been used on the
plough which is tearing up the old
roadway on Lower Manoa road. They
had been worked hard all day and
about half an hour before time for
quitting the span was so tired that they
finally refused to work. The Hawai-
ian laborers gathered around the mules
and after trying to urge them to con-
tinue, whipping and striking them, one
man picked up the shovel and began
to belabor the poor beasts. The luna
watched the performance but took no
hand in the matter. Miss Dawson
notified both the luna and the men,
that if they repeated the performance
she would take drastic measures to
have the brutality stopped.
