kONA DISTRICT
IS WAKING UP
Many Evidences of Progress Is
Reported by D. L.
Conkling.

Treasurer D. L. Coukljng returned
yesterday morning from Kona. his old
stamping ground, and he IS so enthu-
siastic over the present and future Of
that district that it is a wonder he
came back at all.
Il hadn' been to Kona before in
a year" he said yesterday afternoon.
" and IN that year the whole district
has come forward in a marked degree.
The work of the tobacco folks has in
a splendid manner opened up many new
acres and many Hawaiians are employ
ed. Jared Smith and the others are
doing all they can to keep them on the
plantations and have arranged many
features to keep them interested Good
wages are being paid, and the tobacco
people want the sober class of Hawai-
ians, not the other kind.
'What with coffee and tobacco about
1900 and 1900 new acres have been
planted within the past year and half,
Looking from the steamer one can see
that the cane fields Of Kona are begin
ming to take on the looks of real cane
fields instead of looking like a check
erboard the way they used to. More
land IS being planted to cane and it IS
anticipated that the crop next season
will amount to at least 5000 tons.
1.-The whole island has gone automo-
bile mad. On the mauka road in Kona
one passes two or three machines 60
ing each way every hour of the day.
The Volcano Stables has gone into the
automobile business and has ten ma
chimes. Becker in Kau has five and
there are five in Kona-I refer to rent
machines, of course.

'Between the chug of the automo

Mr.. Conkling also reports that tn
coffee crop in South kona will be
very heavy one and III North kona VII

Geological Puzzle.

Italian biologists have a puzzle to
solve, owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc Of the body of white
bear, which has been brought to Aosta
1t was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago. and must have been pre-.
served by the ice. since it has ALWAYS
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago Rut
it has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place a
few days previods to discovery. At
this would seem to show that there
are still white bears in the Alps. ex.
petitions are to be sent to test the
theory.

AlmleSS Girls

Poor, indescribably poor, is that
girl who has gifts, clear mind
and active hands, and who has not
been taught how to use them,
wandering aimlessly through life,
mediocre in everything, without
definite aim, seeking vainly for oc-
cupations to amuse or distract, de-
forming her body to crafty ignor-
ant vanity, injuring herself by
late hours and bad food, sparkling
dimly in the struggle for a wealthy
husband, and then as a wife reali.
zing her weakness and lack of
worth; as mother, weeping bitter,
stinging tears as she sees the results
of her miserable life magnified IN
her children, and waillng piteously
for help and strength when it is too
late. No sarcasm this; this scienti-
fic man turns to his work with a
heavy heart. after studying such a
case. But object teaching is natures
teaching, and many repetitions are
necessary before people will take
the lesson and its full meaning to

Holmes, this county, located about
eight miles southwest of Pocahon-

tinued at that place about two
months ago and the residents re-

III Temper

This is the best land in the world
and man is utterly inexcusable for
being ill-tempered here. Look at
Growl, Spitfre and brothers, wasp
ish, cross-grained, naggy fellows,
whom children avoid, customers
fee from and everybody dislikes.
They frown and snap and h arl
through the world until the last
drop of milk of human kindness is
frozen at the bottom of their hard
hearts and the last spark of human
interest Is quenched in the ashes of
their sel6shness. But here are
Merryman and Warmgrasp, poor
boys when they came from the coun-
try, carrying all they had in one
small roll, with mothers ginger
bread in their luncheon and mothers
blessing in their ears "Be good boys
and mind the boss" They were
soon favorites in the store, accomo-
dating and cheerful everywhere,
and when they set up for themselves,
everybody focked to the place
where even the shelves and counters
seemed running over with good
cheer. A melancholy musician
may compose a dead march that
shall make the organ weep and wall,
but he can never touch the chords
that set the bells of joy a-ringing.
A melancholy poet may write of
wan spirits and gloomy demons, but
he can never picture the beauties of
heaven. A melancholy artist may
sketch death and deep horrors, but
he can never paint the rising sun
leaping on It's sapphire bat.

CarMaCk'S SlayerS


Political assassination, which Il
still a form of procedure in certain
parts of the South, seems to have
friend and conductor IN Governo
Patterson of Tennessee. When Col
onel Duncan Cooper and his son
Robin Cooper, shot down former
United States Senator <. w. Car
mack without giving the victim a
chance for his life, it is freely pre-
dicted that the murderers would
never be punished. 1t is still ar
gued by many that gentlemen"
should be allowed to settle their
personal differences according to
the code. These two gentlemen,
father and son, waited until they
caught Senator Carmack off his
guard and, in fact, or the very act
of lifting his hat to a woman &C.
quaintance, and they shot him
down. Now comes Governor Pat.
terson with a full pardon granted
to the elder Cooper within an hour
after the supreme court had affirm
ed the sentence of twenty years in
the pcnitentiary imposed by the
lower court. The case had drag
ged along for some time at great ex-
pense to the state. So far as Col
one lCooper's actual guilt is concern
ed there seemed to be no doubt.
He did not really fire the shot that
killed Carmack, but he had made
threats against the senator-editor
and it was shown conclusively that
he and his son had deliberately set
forth to commit the deed. But
Governor Patterson by a stroke of
his pen has nullifed all the labor
GUS and costly work of the prosecu-
Cors and the courts. He did not
take even decent leisure in this act.
There was not single petition ask
ing him for the pardon. He sim.
ply rode rough-shod over the stat
utes and the courts and allowed his
friend to 60 free.
The disgrace of the Carmack MUIR
der was bad enough for Tennessee
to bear without the additional stain
upon its character. Governor Pat
terson is running for third term.
The fight is hot and these things
must be taken into consideration
when rejecting upon the case of
Colonel Cooper. Yet as there was
no real justification whatever for
the murder of Senator Carmack it
is impossible to believe that there is
any justification for the pardon of
Colonel Cooper, after fair and i'm
partial trial the findings of which
were affirmed by the highest judic
ial body in the state.

Mothers Day

Something over year ago 9
society of ladies in New York, head
ed b, the famous writer of more OF
less meritorious verse and surely a
woman of strong mentality and
deep conviction, Ella Wheeler Will
COX, heralded a plan to celebrate
May 10 in this country as"Mothers'
Day"
This is a most worthy and holy
sentiment. With some men and
women every day in the year Is
"mothers' day." and few there be
who have become so vile or fallen
so low that some days, at least, are
not mothers day.
We celebrate the birthdays and
deaths of heroes, who perished on
battlefield for home or native land,
but do we not overlook the truth,
often, that "the bravest battle that
ever was fought was fought by the
mothers of men?"
We celebrate the anniversary of
the birth or death of departed states
men and forget that every single
one of them owes his fame and even
his existence to the training of a
good, noble and unselfsh mother.
Why not observe this 10th day
of May, "Mothers' Day." and a ma
tional holiday in every city, town
and hamlet in the country?
The plan is to remember your
mother on that day-if she is living
send her some token of your love;
if dead do some kind or charitable
act to some other mother.
But whether your own is living
or dead wear a white csrnation or
some other white flower of purity,
as an evidence that you remember
and love her who cared for you
when you could not care for your
self.
Visit her if possible and spend
that day in her presence; if impos-
sible to visit her, write to her at
least, and let her know that no mat
ter where your wayward feet have
wandered you still think of her and
love her.
Some senator introduced bill
year ago to make the day by law
national holiday, and be 1t said to
the shame Of the austere senator's
the bill met with opposition and
even with rldicule by some of
them.
There is nothing to ridicule,
nothing about it that might not
touch the heart of even cold-blood-
ed, dignifed senator.
1t may sound like sickly senti-
mentality, and the light hearted
and careless may laugh, but no man
yet ever sank so low that his moth
er considered it sentimentality to
weep and pray for him,and surely
no man ever rose so high or became
SO exalted that he could forget the
mother who bore and cherished him.
And no matter what fame may
come or fate overtake, the man
who does not love and cherish her
in return is not worthy of the conf
dence of his fellowmen.
Let May 10 be Mothers Day
hereafter, whether Congress makes
it national holiday or not, and
let true men and women everywhere
observe it.
Let there he one day in all the
year when we will gather the rich
est garlands and lay them all in
loving tribute at the feet of the
American her.-Arkansas Dem
ocrat.
