time, may no longer stand up to the pie

at mai tables and await the pleasure of a

Better provision has been made for the

glass windows so familiar in the cartoon

these windows strolling visitors may peer

was hot under the collar when it was
rumored that the nomination of Horace II.
Lurton, Of Tennessee, might be held up by
insurgent senator's" said F. E. Gateman,
Of Memphis, at the Wizard. He got busy
at once, and 1t may have been due largely
to his work that there was practically no
opposition to Lurton's confirmation. Be-
fore he was confirmed. Senator Taylor took
occasion to assure Judge Lurton that. no
combination of senators could prevent the
confirmation, and his telegram to the new
associate member of the United States SUI
preme court was characteristic. This is
what the senator said:
Your enemies ave no more chance to
defeat your confidence than a celluloid
deg would have chasing an asbestos cat in

The following good story is told by
Bake Sites. 1t is as follows.
'fBen Mckinley came into town late
ly in an automobile which ran out of
water on the way from the farm tn
town to ship cream to market He
reasoned with himself in this manner,
Normally milk consists of Sc per cent
water, per cent substances which pro
duce muscle, and per cent fat. Thai
il not as good as cucumbers, which are
81 per cent water, or even as coed as
turnips which are "a water. How
ever, as cucumbers are out of season
and the farmers have buried their tur
nips, I'll have to fall back on milk.
He filled the water cooler from HE can,
put on the power and was soon bowling
along at merry clip. Town was al
most in sight when the machine baked
again. The water tank was opened
and found to be filed with fresh butter
favored with gasoline. The automo-
bilist looked at the can again and dis
covered that he had used cream, which
was 40 per cent fat. The automobile
wa 8 a four wheel churn and it took a
couple of Eichbush's good horses to
pull it the rest of the way to town."

A man named Yont, aged sixtv-f1ve,
superintendent of the packing depart
ment at Yocemento cement mill, died
on Monday and his body was taken to
his old home in Hannibal, Mo. He
leaves family of ten grown children
to mourn his death.
Now we must record the death of
our Old farmer, Casper Sacb, at his
farm west of town, at the age of
seventy-four. He leaves a wife, nine
children and fifty grandchildren to
mourn his loss. The funeral service
took place in our Catholic church and
interment made in Mt. Allen cemetary.
Steve Komps, enc of the Hungarians
at work at Yocemento, died Sunday of
pneumonia. The funeral service was
held in our Catholic church and burial
took place in hit. lien cemetery on
Tuesday morning. He leaves a wife
and three children living in the old

Ignorance in Demand.

Down in Tennessee the Supreme
Court have decided that 4 man who
reads an account of the crime in a
newspaper is not competent to sit as a
juryman in the trial of the case. As a
result, in trial of very important
murder at Nashville now heing tried,
four of the juryman selected can Meth
er read nor write, two can understand
English indifferently and several jurors
swore they had not read newspaper
for ten years. Surely this is a COM

whatever the fate of the public bus
mess. The Republicans. placed on
the defensive, were forced to take
radical steps to prevent their being
ridden down and the government of
the city practically assumed in toto
by the Mayor. They held in check
the most beautiful political dictator
ship, with all the fine settings for
the beginning of boss-rule in Homo
lulu, that could be imagined.
While this present settlement has
been reached among the officers of
the city acting under most incom-
pletc law, II is expected that Re-
publican Legislature will so amend
the law and perfect It as to make the
way for the future clear. The people
may then confine themselves to the
manner in which their representa-
tives administer their affairs unham-
pered by befogging issues Of rights
and privileges.

PERFECTING COUNTY SYSTEM .

There should be no possibility OF
passing the bill to divide the County
of Hawaii. Our legislators should
aim to perfect what they have in
the County line before drawing any
finer boundaries.
This Legislature should be marked
by enactments increasing the respon-
sibilities-not an increase in the
number Of Counties.
The bill turning over the care OF
the jails and the hospitals to the
Counties Is one that should pass. The
only desirable amendment is one that
will include the waterworks in the
institutions taken over from the Ter
rltOry for local management.
Legislation of this character may
result in the Counties enjoying less
money for road construction, but 1t
will distribute the financial burdens
in a more practical and just manner.
Let the Republican record of this
session be one of signal success in
perfecting the ocal-government sys-
TEN, which Republicans created.
