SEATTLE, Sept. 2S.-Tacoma
inaugurated the weeks series yes
terday by drubbing the coming
pennant holders in fine style. An
derson was wild as a March hare
and the Tacoma boys hit the ball
whenever he did get 1t over the
plate. Downie gathered a crop
of three fine swats. Stevens also
got three and Coleman two.
81 Bennett was given a chance
in right field. Annis pitched good
ball in all but two innings. Seat

they had 1t all her own way, but
Tacoma came up from behind,

MRS. WIGGS TO PLAY AT THE
OPERA HOUSE THIS EVENING

After the brilliant successes which i
has attained in America during the past
i've seasons, in London, England, where
it has created a veritable furore for
300 performances, and in Melbourne
where it ran six weeks to crowded
houses, =" Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch comes to the Honolulu Opera
House with its life study that is sordid
to the casual glance, yet universal.

INCENTIVE FOR WORK.

The best work of and women
has never been done with the hope of
wealth the fear OF poverty as an in
centive. This is true of scientific work.
1t is true of artistic and literary work.
1t is true of the work of inventors and
.!iscovcrers. 1t is true of statesmen, re
formers, philanthropsts, leaders of men
in every fied-those of them whose work
has been of lasting benefit to mankind.
In all these fields, the whole history of
human thought and action shows that the
men who have done great things and
whose names have lived in the memories
and in the affections of the race have not
worked for gold, have not worked for
fame, have often deliberately chosen pow
crty and obloquy and even persecution,
rather than be false to themselves and
sacrifice their life work for riches or for
glory.
But it is not only in the work of those
whom commonly call great that this
principle holds good. 1t is just true
in the every day work of the masses Of
men and women. Most of us are com
PEELED to work for pay. But our best work
is not done for the sake of the pay. There
is not a good workman in the world, it is
done for the sake of the pay. There is
not Il good workman in the world, it is
safe TO say, who has not sometimes put
the thought of pay behind him and set
himself to do good job and actually
suffer Il money loss through doing it, and
yet been proud Of the work he had done.
Most of us are haunted by the fear of
want. But that fear docs not spur us on
to noble cndcavor. 1t renders less
courageous. less enduring, less faithful.
less intelligent, less efficient to do good
work.
Some of us are dazcd with the glamor
of gold. But that infutuation does not
lead us to truly great achievement. 1t
prevents our vision, lowers our ideals, cor
rupts our feelings, renders us greedy and
cruel and false.
The incentive of gain gives us adul-
tcratcd foods and substituted medicines
and shoddy clothes and jerry buildings
and quack doctors and shyster lawyers
and yellow journalists and fraudulent
stock promoters and firrtrap trncmcnts
ana disease breeding swcatshols and hum
cry children in the schools and untaught
children in the factories. But it does not
give us. never has given MS. and it never
will give. us the most faithful and elf
cicnt effort for the common good.
The incentive for good, useful, mcri-
torious work is God given gift, and fire.
Iucntlv is strongest where the hope of
reward is least.

The United States is not the only
country where incompetent time serv-
ing judges of the Wright stripe are
sassinating constitutional rights The

place in Times legal chambers for the
great number of Judicial opinions that

SELFISHNESS WEAKENS.

The man who joins the labor union, or
in fact any social. fratcrnal, Industrial
or religious organization, solely for what
he get out of it, is not very much
better than the man who remains on the
outside and enjoys the benefits secured
by the sacrifices of others. There must
be some higher incentive than selfshness
if the union is to stand and succeed.
Every man should look out for himself
But if he is looking out for himself the
spirit of unionism cannot get Il very
strong influence in his life.
unIonism means the opposite of sell
fislncss 1t means uniting with others
for mutual protection and advantage 1t
means making your brothers. business
your business. 1t means a willingness to
suffer if by so doing one can help those
who are bound with him in the bonds OF
unity.
Look out for the union member who
says that sclf-intcrest is the great inccn-
tive OF unlonism. Keep your eye on your
job while he is around. His sclf-interest
may induce him to attempt to steal it
away from you. Watch him when the
crisis comes. Remember his ideals are
inclined to be influenced by pecuniarv
considerations. Watch his NTH when the
political vote purchaser is abroad
The farther the union is removed from
seifishness the nearer it approaches the
goal of success.

1t is of the highest Importance to all

EGOTISM.

EGOTISM.
The present social conditions, says the

cradle have al all times been criticised
in the Labor press in the various coors
and fashions and in all treaties which
we have read ON these questions the
writer's always come to the same cOnclu-
sion, that our economic system is wrong
and that il should b" changed in such
manner that to each individual is guar
antc"d an existence, which is really worth
to be lived Such ii change to the bet
ter in the considerations Of life of all
human beings will not only then be pos
Siblc when the doings and actions Of the
people prompted by other causes than
those rr"dominating under our present
capitnlistic order of things. Through
the captalistic system OF production the
moral conscience OF the people has been
influenced 10 such extent that the real
motive for nearly all actions in the var
Gus stages of life is cgntiSm in it's sim
