WALDRON
And BROWN

1t is stated on what is apparently
good authority that F. l.. Waldron
and Willard E. Brown are to be the
two new members of the Board of Liq-
uar Commissioners of the County of
Oahu whose names will be sent to the
Senate by Governor Frear From all
that can be learned the names will be
acceptable to both the Anti-Saloonn
Lacquer and the liquor men. Both
men are well known and liked through
out the city and still neither has ever
taken part in the liquor fight from
either standpoint. While both are
conservative the liquor men feel that
they are broader guage than the two
commissioners whose designations have
been accepted recently.

James l.. Holt, accountant, says:
wish to call your committees attention
to the amount paid to outside attorneys
amounting S675 90. OF this amount
$3.50 was paid TO John w. Cathcart for
services rendered in defending the suit
OF Frank LuswickO VS.. James w. Pratt
Land Commissioner. The fact is, ac-
cording to the County Act, all County
Attorneys are deputies of the Attorney
Generals Department. At the time
this service was rendered by Mr.. Cath
cart in August ana Sovember of 1907,
Mr.. Cathcart was the duly elected
County Attorney of the County of Ca
hu. This fee was entered into by the
former Attorney General, Mr.. e. G.
Peters, but seems to have been sane
toned also by Mr.. c. r. Hemenway
when the balance was paid November
30, 1907, $780, under voucher No. 791.
The first payment was made on Au-
gust 10, 1907, under voucher No. Ill.
The sum of 800 was paid to NJ. f..
Prosser on November 80, 1907, under
voucher No. S6S in case of the Terri
tory VS.. Ching Tai, and again on June

Following is Veto Message No.
from the Governor transmitted to the
Legislature this morning:
To the Legislature
herewith return, without my ap-
proval, House Bill No. 35, entitled AN
Act to amend Section 1 of Act So, Ses
sion Laws of 1907, "to designate the
pay of laborers engaged in constructing
or repairing roads, bridges or streets,
water works or other works for the
Territory of Hawaii or for any political
subdivision thereof .
The purpose of the bill is to prescribe
a minimum wage of 81 so day for
laborers engaged on public works.
Aside from questions of constitution
ality there are many reasons both of
economic principles and special con-
ditions why this bill should not become
law. 1t will be unnecessary to attempt
to state all of these.
The bill would frustrate its own gen.
eral object, which is that of benefitting
laborers, for it would necessitate the
dismissal or unemployment of many
laborers who would otherwise be en-
ployed. If the funds available for the
employment of labor on public works
were unlimited, the case might be dir-
ferent; but, with the funds very much
limited as they are, it is obvious that
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-04-13

anything like Haleakala in Southern
California. If they had you would hear
from them, and it wouldn't be about
the trouble of getting there"
Collins is especially impressed with
the attractions of Maui though he has
travelled generally about the islands.
He is enthusiastic over the proposed
Elks' excursion. If steamer accom-
modations can be arranged properly
there will probably be seven or eight
hundred members of the Order max
ing the trip. If they take Collins
advice, they will see everything,-in-
cluding the volcano and Haeakala.
1t is expected that some of the Of
ficers of the Salt Lake lodge will be
here during the next few months, in
vestigating in advance in order to ar
, range for the trip.

This forty-seventb days morning
session of the House of Representatives
endured for less than an hour, for the
reason that at II O'Clock the members
of the House were booked to visit
Queen Liliuokalanis home at Washing
ton Place
AS far as the stenographic row was
concerned, though there were lobby
talks and hallway gossip, nothing de-
veloped in the House beyond the fact
that the clerk read yesterdays minutes
prepared by himself, the stenographer
being ignored and sitting as an orna-
ment taking notes which will not be
referred to. He has resigned and with
drawn his resignation and has resign
ed again, and his last resignation, it
is believed, will take effect.
Most important of the matters
handled in today's brief session was
partial consideration of the Senate bill
which seeks to provide for a govern
ment purchasing agent,

TENGU JAPAN RICE.

The Tengu Japan Rice, a direct i'm
port from the fields of Japan which K
Yamamoto of Hotel street has
received, is considered the best rice
in Japan. Mr. K. Yamamoto is start
ing a rice mill here and expects large
trade.

LABOR PAY
BILL VETO

if wages were increased fewer laborers
would be employed The bill may be
prompted by worthy desire to benefit
the laboring class, but results are not
always what they are intended to be,
and in this case true friendship for the
laboring class can best be shown by
looking at the real rather than the ap-
parent effect The bill might benefit
some laborers, but it would be against
the interests Of the laboring class as a
whole, for it would prevent many from
obtaining employment.
Moreover, less would be accomplish
ed in maintaining roads and other pub
lie improvements in good condition and
in constructing new ones, and that
would be to the detriment of all peo-
pie in the Territory and tend to lessen
or prevent an increase OF taxable values
and therefore tend to diminish the
amount which would be obtained by
taxes in the future with which laborers
might be hired
Further, the financial status of the
Territory and the several counties is
safely be raised arbitrarily at the pres
ent time even If it would be wise to at
tempt to do so under better financial
conditions.

heads of various government depart

a measure, while the House commit
teeman was told entirely another story
by the various department heads. Cas-

in harmony with the heads of depart

GRADUATING EXERCISES AT MISS HANNUM,s SCHOOL.

The large number of guests witness ing the graduation of the senior class at Miss Hannums school yesterday was a decided evidence of its popularity. Seven young women received diplomas after a scholarly address, delivered to them by Mrs. Robert Cunningham of Georgia, who also presented the diplomas.
 Miss Hannum's school Is a most attrac- tive building. Colonial in architecture, 1t suggests in interior as well as ex- terior a handsome residence rather than a school. The two parlors leading from the reception room were thrown open for the occasion and chairs arranged to sug- gest concert room. At the end of the inner one the pretty group of graduates were seated to form a crescent. They were gowned in dainty white costumes of soft lingeries and laces, each carrying large clusters of sweet peas. The class color is green. suggestion followed in the bapks of palms and ferns in the the various apartments, while clusters of cut flowers were distributed to pre- sent festive appearance
 Mrs. Cunningham's address was filled with noble sentiments and pleas for high CT culture. She spoke of the many sided ness of the ideal woman of today and the best lines of women's endeavor. She is a delightful speaker and hosts of friends here always welcome, her re- turn.

The sweetest lives are those to duty wed Whose deeds, both great and small, Are close-krrit strands of an unbroken thread, Where love ennobles all. The world may sound no trumpet, ring no bells The book of life the shining record tells. Thy love shall chant it's own beatitndes After its own life-working. A child's kiss Set on thy singing lips shall make thee glad; A poor man served by thee shall make thee rich: A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong; Thou shalt be served myself by every sense Of service which thou renderest.
