Adopted Unanimously.

The tentative program was unanimously
adopted by the meeting. Its terms pro-
vid, ID that each of the workers should
take the names of from five to Il dozen
representatives and personally interview
them, and this work will be in progress
this afternoon and tomorrow. 1t is eX-
pressly desired that vote on the play
grounCs appropriation shall be secured
before the adjournment of Congress for
the holidays. With each of the reDresen-
ta.ves interview d will be left a copy of
a special pamphlet which bears its
-frontspiece replica of the II am for
Fairgrounds button Endorsed by Presi-
dent Taft and on which the President S
picture appears, and which contains, also
much valuable data on the subject of
Fairgrounds in general and upon the
needs of the Capital citys Fairgrounds
in particular.
Aim to Secure Pledges.
The object Of the association workers
will be to secure the pledges of represen-
atves to vote for the appropriation of
So, 600. which is estimated to he the low
est amount on which the local play
grounds can be successfully operated
during the ensuing year. In addition to
the campaign of personal solicitation, an
open letter was written to each of the
representatives in Congress who voted
against Fairgrounds last year.

Will Cover Third.

AS an infielder Elberfeld is virtually in
the class of George Mcbride, but it is
not contemplated by the local manage
ment to replace that star shortstop with
the older man.
But it is believed that Elberfeld can
play third base In a manner to fill that
hole in the local infeld. He is an adapt
able player, thoroughly alive to the pos
sibilities of every position. and although
shortstop has been his traditional station
i'll the infeld for years no apprehension
is felt by Manager McAleer as to the
kids" ability to make good at that
corner of the diamond.
Last season Elberfeld played in LOG
games and batted .237. which Is not up to
his mark when he is going well. He is
a timely hitter, helping his team not SO
much by long drives as by profitable
taps that bring runs over the rubber. In
the old days it was usually Elberfeld
who scored Wee Willie Keeler after
that master hand at bunting had gone to

GOVERNMENT BY
Commission?
InsuIar Cabinet May Be Formed
to Administer the
Islands.
THIS MAY AFFECT HAWAII
The Extra Continental Lands to
Be Handled From
Washington.
THIS MAY AFFECT HAWAII

Are the affairs of Hawaii and of
all the other extra-continental terri
tories and dependencies to be handled
from Washington? Are we to have
what may prove to be not very
dissimilar from government by com
missions
The Boston Transcript in an arti-
Gle published in that paper this month
outlines the plan which it says Is being
considered by those in authority at
the national capital and in many of
its features it does not differ very
greatly from commission government.
1t appears probable that in Territories
like Hawaii, where there are not so
many Eproblems' to be solved, the
lines leading to Washington may be
allowed to hang slack. except at such
times as questions of great import
ance arise. Then the conduct of af-
fairs will be taken over by the insu-
lar cabinet, as it is proposed to call
the new organization. This is what
the Transcript has to say:
There are intimations to be found
in the columns of the press of the or
ganization in Washington of a move
ment to promote the establishment of
new cabinet department to take
charge of the administration of our
possessions, with special reference to
those that are insular. The work of
supervision of our various dependen-
cies, both insular and continental. IS
now divided between several depart
ments Thus Alaska and Hawaii, be-
ing Territories, are, like New Mexico
and Arizona, under the supervision of
the secretary of the interior. The
Philippines and Porto Rico find the bu-
feau of insulaF affairs of the war de-
partment their means of communica-
ton with our government. Guam and
Tutuila are under the navy depart
ment, and the existing arrangement by
the division of administrative ideas
prevents any unity of colonial man
agement if such is desirable. The
heaviest burden is carried by the bu-
reau of insular affairs. since the Phil
ippines and Porto Rico present inf
nitely more "problems than are
found in Alaska and Hawaii, Guam
and Tutuila. The Philippines are to-
day largely governing by virtue of
the creation of the local legislature,
the link of authority with Washington
being the Philippine government, of
which the governor general is the
head Porto Rico has also its legis-
lature as well as its American admin
istration.
In general, the effort of the United
States has been to apply, with such
notifications as local peculiarities de-
manded, the territorial system to our
possessions, but still, after this has
been done, there is left a zone into
which enter matters of the broader
political policy of direction of peoples

who are with Us. but as vel NOT of rs
1t has become almost tradition with
Us that IN the beginning territory new
" acquired shall De under the imme-
date supervision Of the war depart
ment, sort Of ad interim direction
pending further organization. Such is
the status Of the Philippines, the bu-
reau of insular affairs being a sort of
agency OF transmission and represen-
tative of the islands in the administra
tive councils at Washington. Porto
Rico, Since March 4. has occupied a
somewhat similar status. The arrange
ment has worked well ap to date in
keeping routine moving while in the
event of any disturbance or of any
contingency calling for immediate ac-
ton, the general powers of the govern
ment would be concentrated on the diff
feuity. Beyond its ordinary authority
the government win be called upon to
lay its program before congress. While,
therefore, convenience and unity of ad-
ministration may be pleaded, there is
no apparent urgency in the matter of
creating a new department.
New cabinet departments are always
more or less antagonized by the pop
ular feeling that the cabinet is already
big enough. This criticism, however, is
based, with many persons, upon a false
idea Of the place of the cabinet in our
political system. That body is but a
council of the heads of the executive
departments; it never votes. The Presi-
dent is under no obligation to call for
its collective advice, nor is he under
any obligation to abide by that advice
if he solicits it. The meetings of the
cabinet are simple conferences at which
there is an interchange of views, the
executive naturally and properly seek
ing harmony of all the departments of
which he his constitutionally the su-
perior. One more or one less executive
department would have little or no
effect on the course of our constitutional
development or on large lines of ma
tional policy. Therefore, it probably
would matter little to the country gen
orally whether our possessions remain
sphere of activity divided between
several departments or are administered
by one.
The proposed new department is gen
orally referred TO as that of insular
affairs This will be peculiarly ap-
propriate title if it be coneened with
the management of our extra -continen-
tai territories or dependencies. Only
a census of islands can determine the
exact number that are under our juris-
diction In the Philippines we are sup
posed to have 3141 islands and islets.
The Hawaiian group proper consists Of
eight; Porto Rico has a number of de-
Tendencies, besides Culebra and Vier-
ques Tutuila is simply the largest is
land of many that own our sway in
Samoa. First and last, reckoning a
large number of small Pacific islands in
the neighhorhood of Somoa over which
our flag has been raised, our sea sur
rounded possessions must be the homes
OF fully nine million people.

H|LO GRAPES ARE
TURNED INTO WINE

The Serrao Winery No. 2, as its Of
fetal title now is since it was regis
tered, put out its first run under gov
eminent supervision last week under
the supervision of e. S. Gauger Bay
less. says the Hilo Tribune. In all
2,498.40 gallons were rectifed, and this
is now on sale. The grapes for this
were produced on three acres of land
at Kaumana, and Mr.. Serrao is now
placing two additional acres of land in
grape cultivation.
The industry has shown itself to be
quite a profitable one, as the land pro-
duces crops about every eight months.
The last crop was taken off last
August, so in five months from now
there will be another crop ready for
the distillery, and the crops appear to
be increasing on the same land, instead
of decreasing as might be expected, so
the outlook is very hopeful one.
