BEDFORD WINS

Large Score.
BEDFORD 224, H. G. G. SO.

Not since I left Australia over
twenty years ago have I had an OPP
portunity to see quite such good
cricket as we have had here in Ho-
nolulu during the visit of the Bed
ford in port" was the comment made
by Viggo Jacobsen last night when
handing in his score of the match
played at Makiki yesterday. "Why,
some of their men would be quite
eligible for one of the county teams
in the old country, and I am not sur
prised to have heard it asserted that
theirs was the crack aggregation on
the Asiatic station.''
And in very deed, the way they
carried all before ,hem made one think
of "the Assyrian that came down like
a wolf on the fold" Play was com
menced promptly at noon, the toss be-
ing won by the Honolulu team, whose
captain chose to send the visitors TO
the wickets first, in which he was
prompted, probably, more by courtesy
than good generalship, because the
sailors very soon demonstrated that
the "landlubbers were outclassed in
every department of the game, whether
batting, bowling or fielding.
There was some really good work
done by the Honolulans, however, Bob
Anderson to the front as usual. But
they were crushingly defeated for the
second time, by a total of 224 to SO
runs.
A very generous and excellent cold
luncheon was served at 1870 p. m. with
abundance of "wet goods" of every
description, and later on lady friends
of the club, headed by Mrs. Maclean,
poured tea to everybody. Altogether
the inner man was well provided for.
The weather was simply perfect and,
on separating, the health of each side
was proposed, and accompanied by
rousing cheers.

AFTER THE BACHELORS.

Having tried for sixty or more years to enforce prohibition, and with very indifferent success. the State of Maine now proposes to try her power on the bachelors. and we predict with about as unsatisfactory results as have fol- lowed her attempts to prevent the sale and use of liquors. One of the mem bers of the Legislature either thinks that bachelors are a nuisance, or else holds that they should pay for their blessedness-or cussedness. He has in- troduced a bill providing for the levy of an annual tax of ten dollars on ev- cry bachelor over thirty years of age who cannot prove that he has offered marriage to as many as three women, or to one woman three times In oth- CT words, a man in that State who passes the age of thirty and remains bach elor from choice must take out a license if he wants to continue in the business.
 This is the prominent feature of this wise statesman's bill, though another is perhaps equally noteworthy, and that is the use to which the money is to be put. The bill provides that the money raised from this stag tax, as one con temporary terms It, shall go to those unmarried women who have never re- ceived at least one offer of marriage from an eligible young man. Thus 1t is proposed that the men who refuse to marry shall do something towards opportunity to get husbands. It Is a punishment on the guilty and recom- pense for the innocent
 These are the essential features of the proposed measure. the details of which we have not seen. and we pre- diet interesting developments when it's enforcement is attempted. assuming that it will become a law. for there's no telling what sort of laws may be passed these days. How easy 1t will be to dodge a law of this kind may read ily be understood. In fact, We predict that it will be disregarded as common ly as Maine's liquor laws have been. The man who cannot both swear and prove that he has offered mearriage to three or more women will be a re1ec- ton on the proverbial shrewdness of the Yankee character We do not know how the proof is to be made to the satisfaction of the tax gatherers. but we are pretty sure the latter will encounter many hard iolts when they go out to collect the tax.

believing that existing laws in their States are the sum of all wisdom and benevolence Not so with Alabama s Governor. He flatly declines to give any delegates the authority or influ- ence that would attach to an executive commission and his reason is stated in the dispatch from New Orleans to be that the State of Alabama has re- gently adopted what is considered a good system of child lahor laws. which it is anxious to practically test before considering possible changes" The dispatch suggestively adds, Governor Conner Is manufacturer of cotton goods In the last sentence is the milk in the cocoanut. Those who are at all familiar with the legislation in this State are we'll aware that If left to him, we would hardly have the pres- ent law. It is certain that he opposed the enactment of law which much better met the wishes of the advocates of child labor law than the one which was enacted and with which Governor Conner seems to be satisfied A man not manufacturer of cotton goods might think differently.

Montgomery to Rockford.

COOSa ATE us.
 There never was locality tbct Las needed railroad transportation more than through the center of Coosa County, and' there Is not section of is any more inviting for railroad to penetrate than one from Montgomery to Rockford. through 4dlmore County from Montgomery on to Rockford.
 More than 50.000 acres of the finest long-leaf pine. owned by two different companies, both bodies of timber ly- ing side by side waiting for trgnspor- tation. eager for an quiet. besides owned by private individuals which would be placed upon the market if there was an outlet in the. way oi transportation. and also an almost in- exhaustible supply of other marketable timbers cinsisting of hickory, oak. ash and poplar. besides all tlis. right here at out door. we have in abuhd' ance the finest building granite in the world cropping out of the ground. Not only all these things awaiting trans double in amount if we had conven- fences, and more than anything so far mentioned is. the grading for rail road from here to Montgomery that survey could be made on ridge. ob- viating digging throuhg hills, making fills and building trestles.
 Coosa County's population Is made up VI et thAiAty NAo0S oi pCplic' anu Wiii heartily welcome railroad from Mont gomery to this section. and many. no doubt, will lend financial aid and all join in extending an invitation to cap italists in Montgomery to come here and see for themselves what is await ing them.
 Coosa was once welded to Montgom- cry, but nearer-north of this section transportation was opened up by tho Central of Georgia, and the tide of trade from this section naturally drift ed away from Montgomery, but put a railroad from Montgomery to Rock ford and the flood of trade will return to it's first love Montgomery.
 Another important feature that will offer great inducements for a railroad to this particular point, is the Hatch ett Creek, one of the largest mountain streams in the State that has not been classed as a river. it's rush ing waters passing near our town would, if harnessed. furnish an i'm. mense amount of power for manufact- uring purposes, and this health giving. high hilly country with an abundance of pure and cold free stone water of- fers an ideal home to Montgomerians in summer.
 A goodly portion of the land lying along any route that should be sur veyed between Rockford and Montgom- cry is enthusiastically suited for truck - farming, and with transportation fla cilities hundreds of the farmers along this line would enter into the truck farming business instead of all cotton as in the past.

A VICIOUS PROvERB.

There is an old saying to the effect that "an things come to him who waits" It is an out of date. if not an actually vicious proverb for this day and people. There may have been a time and a people to whom 1t would apply, or who would practice it. There may be such civizilization now, but surely not here. In some part of the earth, even in this fast 20th century. there may be people who are con- tent to sit down and wait for things to come to them. We do not certainly know of such do-nothlngs, but they may exist.
 If there was ever time when such a proverb applied to the Caucasian race 1t has passed. It is vicious because the idea conveyed is that we must quietly and patiently wait for things ourselves to get what we want and need, but wait for it. That is not the American way, at all events. The Am erican way is to go after things and get them if possible. The man who waits for what he wants to come to him will get left. He will find that while he is waiting for something good to come to him the other man will go after it and get 1t.
 The way to get what we want Is to go after it, find it and secure it, if 1t can be done, and that applies to cities and communities as well as to individuals. If a town wants or needs a railroad, for example, 1t would be poor policy for all the citizens of the town to fold their hands and wait for the road to come to them. What they should do is to exert themselves to get the road and bring it in. And so it Is with all civic improvements, and all forms of extension and upbuilding. The him who waits man is likely to keep on waiting, while the man who gets a move on him will also get the plums. Why, a man cant even get an office by waiting for 1t these days. The saying should be eliminated from the list of proverbs.

THE USUAL CRY.

It was expected that from all quart CTS where protected interests were in- Vo1ved the cry would be raised of ruin to business if the tariff was touched. The most splendid period of American prosperity was what was known as the golden era" during the life of the Wal ker tariff, which was a great reduc- tion on former rates at many vital points. This was during what might be called a formative period. and if that system of low tariff duties had been continued there is no way of es- timating the benefit that might have The present movement for a change of some of the tariff rates Is not of such a violent character as to pecessitate an upheaval in lumber, coal or iron in dustries and yet we hear all sorts of dire predictions if rates are changed. It is not a fact that uncertainty in the iron and steel trade is due to tariff agitation. A fierce contest has been going on between the great steel man. ufacturing interests for equal showing on one side and for complete domna- tion and mastery on the other. Rates would have been cut if there had never been a thought of tariff reduction and manufacturers would have reduced wages correspondingly to the reduced prices. The stru Hle for mostery of the independent c5mpanies or the oth CT should not be allowed to prevent needed tariff changes.

NO PERFECT LAWS

No law is so perfect that there is not the possibility of improving it.
 Especially is this the case with laws which are operating upon new lines. and where discussion and consultation are highly beneficial. There is to be a conference soon in New Orleans in which representatives of number of States will consider the question of child labor and child labor laws. It Is voluntary gathering and without expense, except to the individuals who will compose the body. Several Gov ernors have appointed delegates, not

 The interest of thousands of sport lovers all over the country is now centered in an enterprise backed by several Boston sports men to esta blish a national ''sanctuarv'' for the propagation. breeding and protection of millions of game birds of different sopcies upon Cat Island, an immense tract of low land lying off the coast of Louisiana. in the
 The movement is headed by William Brewster president of the Massachusetts Au- dubon Society, John E. Thayer, and other prominent Bostonians interested in game protection, who propose to purchase the Isl and. and they have already expressed their the purchase price.
 The plan was brought to the attention of known New England ornithoogist. who To- gently paid a visit to the island to take photographs of the birds there and to study the islands merits a breeding and gath erng place for the migratory game birds of the country.
 Mir Jobs glowing reports of the thousands the tamcness of the Cat Island feathered tribes, and the natural features of the Lace for the successful propagation of birds were made the basis of the present Boston move ment to acquire the island.
 T believe the creation of thls island, re- mote from the mainland and now the nome of both migratory and breeding birds, into a great sanctuary for our game birds Is one of the most excellent measures that can, and undoubtedly will. enlist the interest of spqrtsmen everywhere" declares Mir.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MoNTGoM-
 FRY.

It is unfortunate that Montgomery, in other years permitted. itself to be deprived of one of it's finest and richest trade territories. It has not been so many years ago since the best and most profitable wagon trade which came to this city came from the north from Coosa, Elmore and surrounding coun- ties.
 In those days the trade from the South eastern portion of the State was not so important. as that which came by wagons from the rich section direct ly to the North. The wagon trains came regularly over the river and Montgomery supplied all of that cen- tral section of the State. Picketts glory. Col Albert J. Pickett. the his torian who owned the springs, hospi- tably threw it open to the farmers and traders who drove through the country. was a dull day for Montgomery when there was not a big camp of farmers around the spring.
 But Montgomery allowed it's oppor- tunities to pass. Railroads cut through that section, East and West. The wagon trade practically ceased. The fine business that Montgomery had received from the splendid farming sec tion of the North was diverted to the railroad towns which sprang up along the Central of Georgia. Montgomery, by its own railroads began to get bus mess from other sections and to have new territories opened up for its trade, but that was no reason why the city should have neglected one of its richest trade sections.
 The city could recover that trade with a new railroad to the North. The city needs that additional business It can be had. The projected railroad would bring 1t back to its old channel, It Is almost a reflection on the city that the people of that section seem more eager and anxious for a railroad which will allow them to trade in Montgomery than the merchants of Montgomery do. They are taking more interest in the project than Montgom- cry merchants, who would have a new and splendid opportunity offered to them. An excellent article from the Coosa Argus published at Rockford. on the projected road is reprinted on this page of The Advertiser. This with numbers of other articles and letters recently published show that the peo- pie of that section are anxious to CO., operate with Montgomery in the build ing of the new road.
 The settlement of this question which means so much to Montgomery rests with this city. If Montgomery wants the road it will be built. If Montgom- cry Is aroused on the question of the road, that road will be built. Mont gomery determination and Montgom- cry capital, when aroused can do more than this.
 It is for Montgomery to say whether 1t will recover this splendid territory, so much richer than it was years ago when the city got the trade by wagon trains.
