WANTS 4 NICE
INAUGURATION
Taft So States and Official
Washington Prepares to
Give II to Him.
By Ernest G.. Walker.

Mail Special to the Adyertiser.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 81.
GRADUALLY thrusting itself into mer-
tied prominence and overlapping af-
fairs of state, the inaugural commit
tee by its great activities is remind
ing Washington more foreibly than
ever that the days of grace for the
old administration are waning. Talk
of magnificent parades, unequaled dec
orations along historic Pennsylvania
avenue, glorious fireworks, electric ra-
dance from the dome of the Capitol
and the peak of the Washington mon
ument, illuminated cascades, and
ball of surprising brilliance abounds
everywhere in Washington as the de-
tails OF Ehe coming event are fixed
upon.
A day or two ago the mighty COM
mittee on rules of the Senate met in
its little room on the ground floor of
the Capitol Senator Knox, prospec-
tive Secretary of State, is its chair
man. They discussed the inaugural
plans at the Capitol, which really is
the only official part of the inaugural.
The Senate provides with special pains
for that ceremony, not the least i'm
portant task in that connection being
the enormous platform, covering two
or three acres on the east front Very
soon now the sound of hammer and
saw will make din in that vicinity,
but it will be carefully restricted to
hours not in conflict with delibera-
tions of the Senate and the House.
Mere carpentering can not be allowed
to disturb the Solons at their labors.
Coming to Rent Their Quarters.
Platoons of visitors are coming to
town daily and going up and down
the lines of hotels and boarding
houses of the most eentrally-located
thoroughfares They want quarters
for governors and high-browed delega-
lions, for civic organizations and
marching clubs. The applications for
= place in the parade are pouring III.
National Guardsmen viii come in
force. A little city Of houses alone
will be needed to give them sleeping
room and sustenance Tons of extra
provisions must be laid in store. The
restaurants and other establishments
that provide refreshments for the
inner man are putting in big orders
early, although it ought to be said
that there is no danger of a famine,
even though the inaugural visitors
should be twice as many as all the in
dications promise.
Somebody got an impression that
Presidentelect Taft did not want a
great. spectacular inaugural That
seemed to forecast efforts toward a
"simple ceremony The old ''sim-
PIE ceremony suggestion comes 70
the front every four years. In the
earlier times it was much coupled with
illusions to Jefferson s simple IN
augural and the now exploded story
| that he rode TO the Capitol alone on
horseback, hitched his horse to an adj
iacent post and walked up to the east
| front to take the oath.
As matter Of fact, all inaugurals,

BAKER WINS IN
THE SECOND
CONTEST
Republicans Make BIG
Z Showing in Kauai
By-Election.

In the election on the Garden Island
last week for Auditor, necesstated by
the vote in the general election in that
county being recounted as a tie, G. E.
IL. Baker, the Republican, showed
Charles Blake, the Democratic nominee,
under, beating him out by over two
hundred majority in a vote of STA. This
gives a clean Republican sweep on Kau-
al. The full returns, with the excep,
tion of the Niihau poll, which was unan-
imously Republican in November, give
Baker $50 and Blake 1856.
The vote by polls, and the comparison
with the figures of the November vote,

OAHU BATTERY TO BE NAMED
AFTER AERONAUT PIONEER

Lieutenant Selfridge, U. S. A., who
was killed at Fort Myer, Va, last year
while testing one of the Wright aero
planes under War Department aus
piees, has been honored by the govern
ment by having his name used in
christening one of the new batteries on
this island. 1t will be called Battery
Selfridge, but whether it is the bat
terry at Pearl Harbor, the guns for
which are being brought here aboard
the bark Mohican, or one of the bat
teries at Waikiki, is not known here.

WILL ANNOUNCE
JUDGES TODAY
MaIihinis Who viii Pick Out
Floral Parade Winners
to Be Named.

This afternoon, Director T. H. Pc
trie, of the Floral Parade General Com
mittee, expects to be ready to make
known the names of the malahini
judges selected to decide upon the dis
tribution of the trophies among the
various prize winners of Washington s
Birthday. AS at present planned, there
will be fifteen judges in all, three being
assigned to each of the several classes
of entries.
The idea of having visitors in the
city take the places of judges has been
received with almost universal favor,
and the task of filing them has proved
to be "a much simpler matter. Mr. Pc
trie states that he had little trouble in
getting persons to serve, and all who
were asked were much pleased at the
opportunity to help in Honolulu s big
event of the year. One or two places
still remain to be filed, but there will
be no trouble on this score Most of
the judges selected are guests at one
or the other of the hotels of the city
Interest Manifested.
The interest which is being taken in
this years Washington S Birthday pa
rade is something very noticeable just
now, and as this is the last week re-
naming before the big event, the re-
naming time is likely to be very busy
to a great many people. All of the
members of the various committees are
confident of the greatest parade of it's
kind in Honolulu's history.
Chairman j. NJ. Dowsett of the Auto
mobile Committee states that there will
not be less than fifty machines in line.
There will probably be more than this
number, for in spite of all that can be
done there always seems to be lot of
persons who will not make their in
tentiOns known until the last minute.
Mr.. Dowsett thinks that this may be
due IN a measure to the impression that
the committee would require a deserip-
tlon of the decorations, and these de-
tails are being guarded this year with
a care never before observed
We don t care to know what any
body Is going to put on his machine in
way of decorations, but we would like
to have our work made a little easier
by having people let us know that they
intend to have some vehicle in line, as
long as possible beforehand" said Mr..
Dowsett Saturday afternoon eff PEG
pie would only stop a moment to con
slider how much discomfort they may
save themselves, as well as us, by al
lowing the committees beforehand to
know that they are coming in. in order
that we NAV Supnlv thau, with a r,,,,,
Der, and get them properly located in
the Capitol grounds and in the line OF

FARMERS WILL ORGANIZE.
Movement to Get Better PRICES for
Products is Making Progress.

The movement Z started some time
ago to organize tlir farmers of Hough-
ton county has been meeting with
success and the preliminary steps are
about completed. meeting is to be
held soon when a permanent set or
officers will Be elected. The society
will be an independent one, not anliat-
ed i'm any way With the Grange or Am
clican Society OF Equity. Joseph Bru
ncau is the prime mover i'm the pro-
posed organization.
Tho basis of the idea is co-opcra-
ton. The farmers have come TO rea-
lie that by working together they can
advance their personal interests more
than they can under the present sys-
tenn. The competition at present SO
dominating will be greatly eliminated
and better prices for their farm pro-
ducts will be receiyed. 11t is not the
intention to raise the prices arbitrari-
~, but equitably. II is a conceded fact
that farming i'm Houghton county Is
more expensive than in any other part
of the United States. what the farm
crs will ask is that they be given the
same prices on their products as is
paid outside shippers and the cost Of
bringing the commodities to local
markets. ~ t
Several well balanced arguments
along these lines are advanced tho first
being the potato situation. In the fall
the farmers need ready cash and po-
tatocs are peddlod among the famil-
les. In order to compete with the
merchants a lower price must be ask
cd and a few days later i'm going over
the same route even lower prices are
offered,
II is the plan of the society to dis
tribute literature among the farming
districts of the county and convince
their own people of the advantage OF
such an organization. The promoters
believe that in this way they will as
sist in getting for the fnrmer little
more of the just fruit of his toll.
