Irainmens' Ball
Grand Success

Winslow Lodge of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen held
their sevnth annual ball at the
Opera House Thanksgiving Eve
n1ng. The event was largely
I1a fact the attendance
YVES greater than at any previous
ball conducted by the Trainmen
The grand march, starting pro-
mptly at nine o'clock, led by Mr..
and Mrs. L. Service, proved to
be a brilliant affair and ere the
march was fairly started it was
seen that the capacity of the hall
was to. be- taxed for the evening
The crowd STAYED until the early
hours of the morning and thor
oughly enjoyed themselves every

The music, furnished bv the
following well known artists:
6. Barnes, first violin, DR.. F. H.
Waite, bass viol; Jas. w. Balm,
cornet; |. c. Ryf, slide trombone
and Miss Fisher, pianist, was
surely Y a treat and was thoroughly
by dancers and spec
tators alike.
The supper was spread in the
banquet room of the Elks Hall
and was served by the Ladies of
Tie Maccabees. Needless to say
these ladies lived up to their re-
putation of the past, the spread
being fully equal to anything
heretofore served on an accession

WILLIAMS DECLINES TO
COME AND GET BEAT
Back Out At Eleventh Hour.-Large
Crowd Much Disappointed.
Many Visitors.

Had the members and mana
ger of the Williams Football
Team heard even a small part of
the many things said about their
failure to appear here for the
scheduled game on Thanksgiving
day it would not have cOnduced
to their enjoyment of the days
festivities.
For the information of the
people of Winslow and to enable
to place the blame where it be-
longs, Manager Code of the loca
team offers the following explanl
alton:
Having previously arranged
with the Williams team for a
Thanksgiving day game | got
out bills and posters advertising
the game sold over one hun
dred tickets.
Tuesday morning wired
transportation for the entire
team and though l received no
acknowledgement of it from
them up to Thursday, was con-
fdent that they would appear
on time.
When Nos. 4 and s pulled in
here early Thursday morning,
failing to bring the Williams
%seam We .e;iced ~':~.~'es
feelings of disappoin ....u
disgust. l Immediately wired
Manager Richardson and re-
ceived the reply that he had
wired me Monday stating they
could not come, owing to his
boys being out OF town.
TO demonstrate the unlikeli-
hood of telegram sent from
there failing to reach me, took
the trouble to have both the
Western Union and the Postal
Company make inquiry OF their
Williams branches and both the
agents there answered that no
such message had been filed with
them.
'Ihere was nothing to do but
refund the money to the ticket
purchasers and l am weary with
making explanations and apollo
gies,
Il have just received their con-
sent to a game with us to be
played at Williams next Sunday
and unless they are again out Of
town on the day of the contest
we hope to administer a wallop-
ing that will temper our present
injured feelings.
4 might say in this connection
that the action of the Williams
team after their defeat at our
hands two weeks ago, in having
an account of the game published
in the Williams News as a victory
for them was not only unsports-
manlike but childish. We hear
often of hard losers but seldom
do they resort to such rank i'm
position on a credulous publish
er."

Crime and Its Punishment

Auckland News.

fidence that they, at least, will escape
punishment altogether.
The other principle upon which So
ciety may proceed in the infection of
punishment for lawbreaking is that
of reformation. 1t proceeds on the as
sumption in the first place, that the
human being is the most valuable prop
erty of society, if only he can be made
a good human being; and in the sec
ond that society at large owes it as
debt to all of it's members to give
them every chance to develop all the
good that is in them. The first as
sumption arises from experience, and
, may be said to be purely unitarian
amounting to a conviction that it will
pay society to make the most possible
of all its members; the second depends
directly on the teachings of Christian
ity. Modern civilization would seem
to be rapidly approaching an accept
ance of the first conclusion, and to have
almost given up the old notion that it
paid to punish people for crimes by
Il kind of treatment that in nine cases
out of ten made them more criminal.
To some extent also, it may be hoped,
the ideas of Christian nations are be-
coming more Christian in such very
practical matters as these. Our law
makes are more and more recogniz-
ing the truth that the fact of an offend
err disregarding his duty to society in
no way relieves society from the OBJ.
legation to do its duty towards him.
And it is to this felt, though perhaps
hardly expressed, conviction, that most
of the recent reforms in prison man.
agement, and the treatment of first and
other offenders have been due. For
many years past this conception of
duty has been gaining a more and more
firm hold on the public mind of most,
if not all, the nations of Christendom,
and it is source of legitimate salts.
| faction that our own young eommu-
nifty should, in this matter, not only be
following the examples of other ma
tions, but even setting an example
which may well be followed by many
older communities in other parts Of
the world.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1909-10-05

AS has been pointed out by the Min
lister for Justice, there are few things
in which the ideas of modern civiliza-
ton are so distinctly in advance of
those Of the past as in those that deal
with crime and its punishment. 1t is
only necessary to 60 back single cen
fury to find ourselves in a region of
thought on such subjects which most
people today would shrink from as bar
barous. The process of development
has been slow one, even among ma
tons that have been at least partially
civilized, and would have certainly re-
sented the suggestion that they were
not Christian. Step by step, however,
European nations, at any rate, have
been unconsciously adopting a new
point of view, and, it may be said, a
new estimate of values. The idea that
human life is less important thing
than human property is no longer en-
bodied in our laws, nor to any serious
extent imported into them by our
courts. Yet even now it may be ques-
toned whether most people have any
very clear or definite opinions on the
question. Why, it may be asked, does
law infict n punishment on offendersf
Most people will say at once-to deter
them, or others, from committing such
offences; and, if this common principle
of terrorism is accepted as the correct
one, it may be argued now as of old,
that the real question is what will be
likely to create the most terror in the
minds of actual or probable offenders.
In old times the answer was unhesi-
tatingly-the fear of death; and the
more painful the death, the more effec-
tual the punishment. And this prin-
ciple may easily be extended to all
minor punishments, and will cover
nearly all the horrors of jails and con-
Wet ships. The radical defect of it
all would seem to be that the principle
is wrong. Few criminals, and certain
ly no habitual criminals, are converted
into honest and useful members of So
ciety, by the fear of punishment. What
does happen is that they become more
cunning, and more utterly unprincipled,
than they were before, in the full con-

to that of Hawaii, except that we will
have advantages over Hawaii in irripa.
ton facilities and in the fact that a
much shorter time is required to ma
ture the cane here than there. And
these will be very important advan-
tages, too. for in Hawaii the expense
of irrigation amounts to nearly, if not
quite, one.haif of the total expense OF
raising the cane. Water for the pur-
pose, in some cases, has to be pumped
two, three and even FIVE hundred feet,
while in these islands most of the
sugar land slopes from the mountain
bases to the sea, is traversed by live
streams, and may be irrigated by CRAWL
tation in natural, inexpensive way.
In Hawaii from sixteen to twenty eigh.
months, according to the altitude, are
required to mature cane, while in the
Philippines it will mature in fourteen
months from time of planting, and rat
toon crops will mature in twelve
months. Thus it will be seen that when
modern methods are introduced into
the industry in the Philippines and the
Limitation on our exports to the Unit
ed States is removed, we will possess
very important advantages over Ha-
waii as a sugar.producing country.
The population of Occidental Negros
alone is considerably larger than that
of the Hawaiian Islands, and probably
as great proportion of that popula-
tion is directly employed in the sugar
industry; but Occidental Negros does
not produce one-sixth as much sugar
as Hawaii, while the value of its
product is not more than n tenth
part as great. From these facts it NAV
readily be understood why interference
with the supply of cheap labor in Ne
| gros and Panay should not be per-
mitted, and the agents of Hawaiian
| planters will display wisdom in con-
fining their activities to such provinces
as Cebu, llocos Sur, Bohol, ETC., where
the population is more dense and la
borers can more easily be spared.
| A rejuvenation of the industry in
these islands is impending With it
will begin an era of better wages, i'm
proved conditions, enlarged opportun-
ity and stronger, healthier state of
affairs generally. The labor situation
will then be able to take care of it
self, and neither Hawaii nor any other
country will have sufficient induce
ments to offer to lure the Filipino from
| the land of his birth.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1909-10-05

Manila Times.-we have always felt
that the recruiting of few hundred
or a few thousand Filipinos for work
on the Hawaiian sugar plantations
would not result in lasting harm to
these islands, and we doubt very much
if any real harm can come of it. On
the other hand, the experience of the
men who go where they have to work
in order to live will, in time, prove
a benefit, for these men. or most of
them, will eventually return to their
homes and when they do they will be
as leaven to communities of their
own people. AT the present time, how.
over, due to peculiar conditions that
exist in our main sugar-producing prov.
inces, it would be unwise to give the
labor agents a free hand, for it is
there that labor is most needed, and
the sugar industry has not yet had
sufficient opportunity to realize the
benefits of free access to United States
markets, and will not be able to ad.
Just itself to new conditions for one
or two years at the least.
When modern methods have been in.
troduced on sugar plantations the
supply of labor on the land will be
found ample; but with the tedious and
wasteful methods by which sugar is
| now produced in Negros and Panay a
proportionately large amount of labor
is required, and a minimum of pro-
duction is the best that is possible.
This means that wages must be low if
the industry is to exist, and the ap.
parently fiattering offers that the Ha.
waiian planters agents are able to
hold out to these people is certain to
demoralize the labor market and render
operation of our plantations difficult
where not impossible.
In Hawaii the cultivation of cane
and production of sugar have been
brought to the. highest state of perfec.
tion-have been reduced to an exact
science. The land is made, by intense
cultivation-which includes careful fer.
tilization and constant rrigation-to
produce the maximum yield of cane
| and the modern, complex and costly
mills in use there extract the maxi
| mum of juice from which they manu-
facture sugar of the best quality. With
labor-saving devices in use throughout
and the greatest possible value in the
resulting product, they are enabled to

RAYMOND RAISES
MAN FROM THE DEAD

Maui News.-On the Claudine of last
week bound for Maui was Doctor J.
IL. Raymond who recently returned to
the practise of medicine in Honolulu.
The steamer was overcrowded and the
doctor had to content himself with a
mattress on the upper deck.
During the night he was awakened
by one of the stewards rushing along
the deck. He was shortly seen return
ing with the purser. They went below
and soon the purser called the captain
and they went down into that part of
the ship where the steerage passengers
are.
Captain Bennett soon returned and
stated to Doctor Raymond that he had
dead man below and would like him
to ascertain the cause of death. The
doctor went below and found the man
apparently dead. The man, Porto
Rican, was cold, there was no pulse
whatever that could be distinguished,
breathing had entirely ceased, the eyes
were set and CLASSY, the tongue was out
and bloody saliva exuding from the
mouth.
Not only all Others present but the
! doctor himself believed the man to be
| dead. Instead of giving the man up,
however, the doctor said that he would
take one chance in ten thousand and
proceeded to inject most powerful
stimulant, strychnine, directly into one
of the veins.
/ The dose was an unusually large one.
| 1t was fully two minutes before the
slightest twitching of the muscles of
| the neck were discernible and about
three minutes more before there was
any pulse that could be distinguished.
In fifteen minutes however the man
was able to be carried above and sue
ceeded in keeping the rest of the pas
sengers awake for the rest of the night
| by his incessant chatter.
When the steamer landed in Kahu-
lui the man was able to walk from the
dock as well as the rest of the passen-
| gers,
Doctor Raymond was for a number
of years the president of the Board of
Health and is acknowledged to be one
of the foremost physicians and surgeons
of the Territory but even those who
know him best did not expect to hear
| of his resurrecting the dead.
