The DutY TO Vote.

The newspapers are giving attention
to some recommend ations or sugges-
tions made by Governor Folk OF
Missouri as TO compelling the exercise
of the voting franchise. The Chief
has discussed this subject hitherto.
The difficulties that surround any sort
of penal laws on the subject are, it
seems, nearly or quite insuperable.
The truth is that to impose fines and
the like for failure to vote is begin
ming at the wrong end. A wholesome
public opinion must exist or the Law
would be nullifed.
One thing that ought unquestion ably
to be done is TO inculcate in the pub
lie schools a high sense of the obliga-
ton to vote and of the sacredness OF
the duty to vote from sincere con-
viction of public welfare. Then. in
order that public opinion may be kept
up and directed towards individuals,
the list of those voting ought to be
published once or oftener In the news
papers of the locality.
It might be well to publish the reg
istration list in a parallel column,
and possibly in a third column the
names of those who have failed to reg
lister. If this should be done as an
ofieial act, a mans neighber would
know whether he is shirker or not.
The vice ofinot voting is much more
prevalent in the cities than in the coun-
try, and among what are commonly
known as the better classes of the pop
ulation-those who ought to know and
do better

1 think the roses of = hundred Junes
Are gathered in that Garden OF Delight
Where white maknolias CLEAN like mimic
moons
Against the heaviDg bosom of the night,
And sleepy bayous wind amid the fern
with music languorous as lullabies
While stars with hrooding splendor seem to
burn
Like luminous narcissi in the skies.
sometimes the vision of that land love
Stirs in my fevered brain when care
oppressed,
AS onward with the painting throng move
An atom in this City of Unrest;
Till, by some trick of chance. the subtle scents
OF dew-drenched oleanders seem to rise
Amid grim walls whose towering insolence
Blots out the vision of Gods very skies.
Then like a bird my spirit wings its way
Through beat of traffic and through glare
Of light.
Baak TO the glory Of a Southern day
Back to the witchery of Southern night.
And when mocker's sudden song seems hurled
From out the velvet dusk that round me
lies.
Loi once again alone in all the world
am dreamer under Southern skies!

Junction with it's members will de-
sermine the place and time of meeting

ven5ent dates for the convention, and

Marathon Race
Next Sunday
By Y. I. STEVENSON.

Now that the day for the Mara
thon race is approaching rapidly 1t
is easily seen that the sporting pub
lie is catching on to the idea In
great form. The merits Of the dif-
ferent runners is discussed on every
street corner, and now that the men
seem to be determined to run un-
assisted by oxygen, the event
should be a real good one.
From present appearances. and,
judging by the way the peds are
Keeling of the miles in training the
men should break the local record
with the greatest ease.
jackson is running as he never
ran before: he. bounds along the
track like a balloon, and 1t is easy
to see that he is full OF life-and
oxygen. However, Marathon Jack
says that unless the other runners
want to use the machine. he will
do without 1t. ut seems pity that
Jack should ever put the temptation
In the way OF the other runners.
Connie Hayes is in excellent form
and is running like a machine-not
an oxygen concern. He will make
the best OF the bunch run their
hardest to keep up with him. and
It may be that he will win the great
event after all.
But Antoine Kaoo, the old reliable
Waialua Horse. Is In the race to
stay, and he is such a wonderful
long distance runner and has such a
marvellous sprint that he must be
given a frst-class chance Of pulling
of the first money.
Tsukamoto. the Hilo japanese. ia
more or less of an unknown guam
tity as regards the full Marathon
distance. and, although he has
shown excellent form up to ten
milcs. nothing is known about his
ability to stay for the twenty-six
miles run.
Game little Charlie will be there
with his pitter-patter-patter around
the track, and he will surely finish
the distance and may cause a sur
prise at the end.
Dial Fahy reckons that he has a
good chance OF winning out, and,
judging from the way he ian In
the League ground Marathon, he
must be considered as a dangerous
man.
Taking II all around. the race
seems to be very open one. and to
pick the winner would be a very
hard job. Jackson has always made
good over the Marathon distance.
and may do SO once more; he ia
running well and as usual is con-
fident that he can win. That may
be SO, but the japanese section are
sure their man can win. and 1t may
turn out that he will romp home a
winner.

tween the local champions, Gee and

than that against the mainland rep

their way to Australia to compete In

Gee and Roth are very strong

to put up strong fight against the
visitors. In fact. most people think
they will win this afternoon.
The opinion around town Is that
II Gee and Roth had gone into the
match against Long and McIough-
lin feeling that they had chance
Of winning. tie result, might have
been different. Our men would
have forced the play from the start
instead Of trying to play safe II they
had thought that they had an earth
ly chance against the mainland
players.

British army. and In tennis ranks
was reckoned the nth best In all
England, and that 10 going some.
He eventually drifted out to the
Philippines and Joined the. Scouts.
After the war Sheldon poined the

Sheldon was considered one Of the
best players In Manila, and his
partner. Capt. johnson. Is certainly
a fine player also. He defeated Gee
In an open tournament short time
before the champion left Manila for

The match this afternoon should
be a rattling good one. and II IL to
be hoped that the rain will not pre-
vent the game being pulled on. The
match will start at 8: 80 o'clock, ana
by that time big crowd Of tennis

The BanzaisI could only add one
more run during the game, but the
Asahis piled up no less than three.
and the game ended to 4 In their
favor. The big crowd went up In
the air when Moriyama. for the
! Asahis, made a really fine double
play; he was cheered to the echo.
