Hopeful.

At least fifty floats for the Floral
Parade.
This is the announcement made by
John A. Hughes, chairman Of the com.
mittee on foats, which yesterday for
mally organized and got down to busi.
ness. Moreover, Mr.. Hughes and the
members of his committee are confident
that they can carry out their aim to
make the float section of the parade
the most important in the entire pro
cession.
The committee is made up of the fol.
lowing: John a. Hughes, chairman;
George II. Angus, A. D. Castro, James
Z. Jaeger, o. G. Swain, DR.. Il. IL. Hand,
o. l.. Sorenson, Bertram Won Damn, +.
II. Cheatham, a. II. Ford and Will j.
Cooper, secretary,
The committee got together for the
first time at noon yesterday, when they
met as guests of Director A. F. Wall,
at luncheon at the Commercial Club.
A large number of plans were suggest
ed and the members are all enthusias-
tic over the outlook. The work is to
be taken up Systematically, and within
week an active campaign for entries
in the float section will be instituted.
A strong effort will be made to show
the retail business men that it is up to
them especially to make the Floral
Parade a success by being represented
in an active way in the parade. The
fact that from eight hundred to one
thousand visitors will time their trip
to the Islands so as to be here for the
big celebration, is evidence of the i'm.
portant part which the event should
play in the calculations of the local
business community.
Another meeting of the committee
will be held in few days, at which
the members will be supplied with lists
of firms, individuals, and institutions
which should take part by entering a
float, and careful canvass will be
made.

TAFT'S MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS- PRESENTS
IMPORTANT MATTERS

WASHINGTON, December 6-Presi-
dent Taft's message was read in con-
gress today. The President sprung one
surprise in the form of recommends
tion that there be no further legisla-
tion designed to regulate corporations
pending vigorous prosecution of cases
under the present laws.
Taft set forth that he planned an
energetic enforcement of the laws now
in existence and referred to the pend,
ing cases, under the Sherman antitrust
law, against the Standard Oil, tobacco
and sugar trusts. He urged that pro-
posals for further anti-railroad and
other anti-corporation laws be held in
allegiance.
No tariff recommendations were CON
tanned in the message, but the Presi-
dent placed himself on record as def
initely opposed to a general revision.
He said that he would place his views
and recommendations before the next
congress, preferring to leave the sub
ject alone at present.
The President strongly urged a ship
subsidy, calling attention to the need
of subsidy for the Ipbuilding of the
American merchant marine.
The construction of two more battle
ships was recommended.
Nineteen million dollars was asked
for by the President for the fortifying
of the Panama Canal, the President de.
elaring himself in favor of immediate
work upon plans of the most elaborate
nature, to make the canal impregnable
to attack on both the Atlantic and Pa
cifc sides.
The early completion of the Pearl
Harbor Notifications and naval station
was urged in the message.
The further extension of the rural
delivery system under the postal de-
partment was urged, also the establish
ment of parcels post and the placing
of all postmasters under civil service.

There is temporary peace in China
town, the three.day truce, given the
consul in which to make up his mind
regarding a retraction of report to
his government, having two days yet
to run. The only development of the
ruction that bids fair TO split China
town wide open is the signing of no.
tice by the consul "to whom it may
concern" that L. Y. Ahoo was not his
informant regarding revolutionary SEN
timents among the local Chinese mer-
chants
On two occasions, Ahoo and a mum
ber of other influential Chinese waited
upon the consul to bring him face TO
face with those TO whom he is reported
to have talked, in order that he might
be compelled to repeat before witnesses
what he is said to have said in private,
or to take back before the ones he
talked about some of the statements h0
is alleged to have made. On both Occa.
sions the consul had important bust.

piscnssed oounty Afairs.

Last evening the Governor discussed
county matters with Supervisors Lewis
and Lyman, getting detailed informa-
tion for use in the Legislature when
the question of dividing the Island of
Hawaii into two or three counties
comes up.
The Governor suggested that John A.
Scott release his beach lease to allow
the land to be used for federal pur-
poses. Mr.. Scott advanced the counter.
proposition that such a release would
be worth thousands to the Territory.
Crowded Jail.
Juiler Maby has urged upon the Gov
ernor and superintendent of public
works an examination of his Jail, to
impress upon these officials the made
quacy of the provisions made for the
large number of prisoners in confine-
ment, there being no indication that
the Territory intends to enlarge the
Jail premises by adding a special wing
for Filipinos.
f. Il. Richards, manager of the Hilo
Company, has intimated to
Campbell that the con-
ditlons attached to the sale of the Wal
anuenue street lot, desired by the com
pany are too onerous. The condition
is that a twenty-thousand-
dollar structure be built before the
title to the lots passes. 1t is possible

''If ballots are accepted and counted
without objection, and perhaps without
the attention of more than one inspec-
tor having been drawn to the fact that
they were marked so that they might,
and perhaps did, see the marks, or If
they thought there was no exhibition
of the ballot, or none wilfully made;
there would be no decision on the sub
jeet maze by the board, and no contest
ON the decision could be made.
The dissenting opinion concludes:
81 agree that the demurrer should
be sustained aud the petition dismissed
on the grounds named in the opinion
of the majority but / also think, for
the reasons above named, there was no
decision in fact or substance of any
ballots having been Wilfully exhibited,
and that the demurrer ought TO be sus'

w. /. Herbert, of Utopia, was in the
city few days ago and told the OBJ
server, of Newberry, S. c., strange
story about red bird. He said that
for some time he had heard some
thing growing about his yard like a
bantam rooster and he thought 1t
must be one belonging to some one Of
his tenants, as he had no chicken of
that kind among his poultry. On
Wednesday he determined to find out
about it, and began watching for it,
telling one of his men to watch also.
The man reported to him that it was
no chicken growing, but cock red
bird. He could hardly believe it, but
in a short while he caught sight of
the bright red rascal sitting on a
limb in the yard, and while he was
looking at it the bird crowed, and he
heard it crow several times after
ward. Mr.. Herbert did not know it,
but the red bird is one of the best
mimics among the feathered tribe.

A Resting Place.

1t is a great thing to come to Christ
1T is the turning point of life; and
1t is a great thing to abide in Him in
the storm and conflicts and terrors Of
the world
Safe to the hidden house of Thine abiding,
Garry the weak knees and the heart that
faints
Shield from the scorn and cover from the
Gliding,
Give the world joy, but patience to the
saints.
1t is great thing to come to
Christ; it Is a great thing to abide in
Him; but from His point OF view the
object Of our coming and of our abid-
ing is that we should go. He wants
us as His messengers, as His fellow
messengers; His purpose is that, abid-
ing in Him, we should be the fruit
which is for the healing Of the ma
tions; that we should be the com
municators of the light which shines
upon the people who sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death. If do,
not go, ] am like an untimely birth,
or am like seed which has rotted
in the ground. He babe me come, He
encouraged me to abide, in order that
| might go.--Nornaal Christian.

The total abolition of toll roads in
the State of Pennsylvania is entirely
likely at no distant date, If the pro-
gram of the State Toll Roads Com
mission is carried out as proposed,
boasts the Philadelphia Record.
There are at present 22O toll road as
sociations in the State, all in the
built-up sections in the eastern part
of the State. These organizations
control 725 miles of roads. They con-
duct business under old charters,
which are SO broad that is is impossi-
bit to bring about the abolition OF the
companies without State aid. Until a
very short time ago the city of Phila-
delphia was hemmed in by these COM
panies, but the city authorities by a
systematic campaign succeeded In
opening these roads to the public.

THOMAS EDISON.

This is true story about man
who is alive to-day. He has invented
a talking machine, has given us the
electric lights and has invented hum
dreds of useful things which give
comfort to people all over the world.
He has even made an instrument to
measure the heat Of the far-off stars.
Sixty-three years. ago, when this
great man was born, no one dreamed
that some day The name of Thomas
Edison would be 30 famous. AS the
little boy grew into childhood he
asked many questions which were diff
fcult to answer, for he wanted to
know the why and how of many
things. When young Edison was
twelve years old he began to earn
money, for he started in business as
a newsboy, selling fruits, peanuts and
papers on the train. His brightness
and pleasantness gained many Gus
toners.
With the money earned he bought
powders and liquids to use for ex-
periments. All of these jars and bot
ties of things were kept in an old bag
gage car and labeled poison" SO
that no one would interfere with
them Soon Edison wanted to print
q paper of his own, so bought some
old type from a printing Office. His
shop was in the baggage car where he
kept his chemicals. After being a
newsboy for four years an accident
happened which caused young Edison
to change his work. The baggage
car in which the boy kept his chem
icals and printing press caught fire
by the falling of bottle of hhos-
phorus on the floor. So angry WAS the
conductor that after putting out the
fire he boxed Thomas Edison's ears
and threw his materials out of the
car. Later Edison, set up his print
ing press at his home.
AS the boy grew older he studied
telegraphy from Mr.. McKensie, who
took great pains in teaching Edison,
for Edison had risked his life to save
that of Mr.. McKensie's child. who
was playing on the track of moving
engine The great inventor as a
young man was not very successful in
keeping positions, for his employers
complained that he had too many
plans Of his own.
AS the man grew older these plans
and many more were worked out until
Thomas Edison has given pleasure
and comfort to millions Of people by
the work of his hands and brain.
This untiring worker still spends
much of his time in trying to discover
better ways of doing things. -W Wash
