Grain Crop Of Dominion is Reported
Greatest in History.

Winnipeg, Aug. 17.-From all points
in Manitoba. Alberta, Saskatchewan
and British Columbia the unanimity of
opinion points to the anticipatory re-
suit of this years harvest as being the
greatest in the history of the Canadian
West. In some places, such as South
ern Alberta, the phenomenal growth
makes il hard for the people to con-
ceive such prospects. Farmers are
now busy gathering the hay crop,
which is heavy one. The grain har-
vest will be general during the latter
part Of the present month.
The statement is made on good au-
thority that the completed Grand Trunk

Hearings Soon in Seattle and Other
Cities on Alleged Frauds.
Washington, Aug. l7.--Much inter-
est was manifested here today by Inte-
rior department officials in reports from
Denver that a hearing in Seattle,
WASH, next month, will disclose proof
of gigantic frauds in connection with
coal lands in Alaska. They declined,
in the absence of Secretary Ballinger
and General Land Commissioner Dem
net, to discuss the nature Of the report.
1t is learned that upwards of 700 en-
tries on coal lands in Alaska, involving
about liz, 900 acres containing valua-
bic veins, have been suspended by the
department during the last three years.
Estimating that these entries are
worth at least So, per acre on a
basis of cent per ton, these coal lands
would be worth 5000, 900, 900.
Hearings will be held in other cities
in the West in addition to Seattle, but
just what ones was not disclosed.
Money Order Business immense.
Washington, Aug. ls.-Money order
transactions in the postofFices of the
country have grown so in the last year
or two that it now is necessary to
maintain force of about 750 account
ants, bookkeepers, assorters and exam
iners in the Office Of the auditor of the
department. There are 1000 money
order Offices, from which $50, 900 mon
ey order accounts annually are received
by Auditor Chance. They are accom-
panied by $4,000, 900 paid money or
ders, aggregating s575, 900, 900. Post
masters are required to deposit surplus
money order funds and about $500, 900
certificates of deposit, aggregating
$3.50. 900. 900. also are received by the
auditor for official record and inspec-
tion. The auditing of these vouchers
and statements represents l40, 900, 900
separate transactions. Approximately
$50, 900 paid money orders, weighing
500 pounds, are received at the audi
tors office each day. In the process
of reassembling these vouchers numer-
ically into states and Offices Of issue,
every money order is handled seven
times. or the equivalent Of l,750, 900
each day. This work alone requires
l65 expert sorters, all of whom are
young women.

SPLIT TICKET RESULT.

The "split.ticket men" OF the last
local campaign had a magnificent ex'
hibition of the results Of their work
when the city and county government
of Honolulu was inaugurated on Mon
day.
Is there any intelligent citizen
whose mental attitude is so twisted
that he can believe the election OF O
.traight Republican ticket could have
landed the city in such tumble as
the Mayor and Supervisors now find
themselves?
The best man theory" has placed
the people and their government where
theories not in line with common
sense practice usually do.
The Mayor of the city, a product OF
the theory" and the split ticket. is
either incompetent, doesn't under
stand or has not yet walked up.
How many more samples are needed
to impress citizens that straight par
tizanship, conducted on honest lines
as II has been conducted In Hawaii. Is
what will maintain order and elimin
ute chaos in this community?
As the split ticket men are the en-
emies Of government by the people
the only satisfaction they can gain Is
in the discredit they have assisted IL
bringing upon our fair city. In this
they find the same pleasure that trait
ors obtain from selling their countr!

HAWAIIAN.BORN sAs
Defends MAYOR

Honolulu, 7. H., Jan. 9TH, 1909.
Mr.. Editor: 1T seems unfortunate
that the Advertisers comments ON the
Inauguration OF Municipal Government
in this city yesterday should nave
been directed so much to the inability
of Mayor Fern to speak the English
language correctly. II is unfortunate
not only because II raises a non-essen'
tial issue. but also upon point where
Il III becomes any member OF the white
race TO sneer or joke. We forced an
nexation upon the Hawaiian people
against their protests. and provided I'M
mediately for the obliteration OF the
Hawaiian tongue officially, whereby
natives either had to be cut on wholly
from participating In the government
of their own country or do the best
they could in what, to them, was
foreign tongue. The only possible
point in the issue Is whether Fern
understood what he was recommend
ing In his inaugural address, and upon
that point there can be absolutely no
question: tnul nt tholoubh's """N'
stood what he was recommending, and
there the issue should end. We well
remember, particularly in the days OF
the Monarchy. the excruciating Ha'
waiian sometimes spoken by white Of
fcials serving under the native gov.
eminent; We never remember an In
atance where native audience did
otherwise than courteously Ignore such
mistakes, and the least we can do, par.
ticularly as we forced our language on
the people without any interval OF
preparation, is to avoid comments that
after all are mischievous and uncalled
Tor and do not bear upon the essential
point that interests taxpayers. to-wit,
whether the man understood what he
was recommending and were his rec
concentrations reasonable and fair.

MR.. MAYOR, BRACE UP.

II is with deep regret that the
that the first Mayor of Honolulu on
the first day of his Official career
made a fizzle OF 1t.
There is really no other term to
apply.
No objection can be offered to a
Mayor allowing someone to write his
inaugural Many mayors do that.
But 1t was, at least. in keeping with
the dignity of the Office that the doc
ument should have been rehearsed
carefully so that the reading might
have gone smoothly when the Mayor
was on exhibition.
Any Mayor is likely to get caught
in miX-up with Board OF Super
visors striving to test the law under
which they are acting. He may be
at loss to know just what move to
make in combating an opposition.
But there are mighty few mayors
who declare a meeting illegal and
then remain to take part in the SEES
sion and endeavor to put motions
Only one is known that. armed with
batteries of political advisers on ey-
cry hand, did not have the presence
of mind to get up and go out, refus-
ing to sanction any action even by
his presence.
Whether the Mayor or the politi-
cal advisers are responsible Ii not for
this paper to say. The Blu ! It n
doesn't care. Nor do the people care.
The misfortune-we almost said
disgrace-of the first meeting OF the
officers of the City and County OF Ho-
nolulu is the exhibition put on by
the representatives OF the people, In
the name OF popular government in
Honolulu.
The Mayor of the city is not only
the representative of the Democratic
party. He is the chief executive Of
this city. Whether we like 1t or not,
this community will be judged by his
common sense, acumen, or lack OF 1t.
What's more, he is In an especial
measure the representative of the Ha-
waiian people, and bears great re-
sponsibility In this respect.
II is therefore distressing to be
forced to explain that this three
ringed circus that went on In the
rame of an inaugural was not repre-
sentative of Honolulu, but was rather
an exception to prove the rule.
Honolulu has the intelligent men
and hundreds OF bright young men,
or old ones, among the Hawaiian
Americans who can conduct a meet
ing, hold their own with an opposi-
ton, and come of with honorable de-
feat II not a clear-cut victory. The
capable men are here. The first ex-
perience with the new Mayor does
not suggest that one of the bright
and shining lights is In the Mayors

This is not said In spirit OF face
tious criticism. The events OF Mon
day are an array of unpleasant facts.
The Bull let m will not condemn
the Mayor on the first showing. This
paper also suggests that the people

matters have settled down little
more. Each should render every pos
sible aid in forwarding intelligent
government.
The Bull etin does, however.
vigorously suggest that the Mayor of
the city brace up.
IL the real fault is with his politi-
cal advisers. discard them. II he can
dc better going II alone" for heav-
ems sake cut loose and play lone

The Blu letin earnestly begs
the first Mayor Of Honolulu TO re-
member that in his present position
he is establishing standards by which
the whole people will be judged. He
can give the city and its people a
reputation for competence or incom-
petence in self-government. He can
prove to the American people that
self-government is wisely or foolish
ly bestowed upon the citizens resi-
dent in Honolulu and Hawaii. He
can do much to increase the impress
sion that this is live. progressive,
wide-awake town, or, as some on the
mainland still think, a little cluster
of beach houses where the conditions
of life are somewhat rural, clothes
are unusual, and huts prevail.
Mr.. Mayor, brace up. And you will
have the support of American bellev-
ers in government of, by, and for the
people.
The people will help you to make
good, but you must do your share.
