the bill carrying at least $40, 900,
900 for irrigation.
1t is believed that congress will
adjourn this week, as most of the
important measures are already fin
ished. Senator Borah is due to be
to address a Chautauqua. He haC
been sure enough OF the closing oi
congress that he has given the as
surance that he will not fail to be
on hand
800 Acre Homesteads for Idaho
Through the efforts of Senator
Borah and Congressman Hamer, the
800 acre dry farm homestead bill
was passed Congress last week. 1t
now requires only the signature OF
President Taft to become law. The
president will undoubtedly sign it,
as he signed a similar bill for the
states of Utah Wyoming and Mon
tana. But it will be, perhaps six
months or a year before entries can
be made under this law ,as the law
provides THAT no lands shall be
visions of this act until the lands
shall have been designated ythe
secretary of the interior as not be-
ing in his opinion, susceptible of
successful irrigation ,at a reason
able cost, from any known source of
water supply" The law for the
statesof Utah, Wyoming and Mon
tana was passed year ago and not
until this month has the secretary
of the interior designated the lands
to be entered as dry farming land.
In the senate bill senator Borah had
inserted a provision which did not
require residence on the land where
there was no water supply for do
nestle purposes, but this provision
was stricken out in the house bill.
So residence is required on the
land
Among other provisions of the
bill it provides that any one who
has entered $50 acres of land and
has not made final proof may enter
l6O acres more, contiguous to his
former entry. Residence and culti-
vation upon the original entry is
counted on. the whole $40 acres. 1t
is also required that one-eighth shall
be cultivated, beginning with the
third year of the entry. The entry
cannot be commuted.r

AMERICANIsM and our PARADE.

Honolulu's Floral Parade always
proves, 10 be worth while. :
The struggles and the worry as
ISOLATED with the preliminaries are
always fully repaid by the excel
lence OF the result. The apparent
Indifference of people who one would
think should be foremost in doing
the work and spending their money
Is always wiped out by the rally Of
N, last few days. The fears of
lure are never realized. The ex-
pectations OF success are always
more than fulfilled.
There is much of the American
conditions epitomized in this event.
lalthough George Washington had
very little to do with Floral Pa
iades in his day and generation.
Americans have a penchant for
putting all the work on the other
fellow and not giving him very
much aid In the preliminaries. We
are prone to be Indifferent In many
of the community affairs that de-
serve more of our time and atten-
tion.' We criticize very severely and
don't always give enough aid and
encouragement to the men and wo-
men who are trying to pull things
together with no other hope of re-
ward than the pleasure Of complet-
| Ing 4 first-class task In first-class
style. Then. when II comes TO the
crucial point, we all get in and
work like TrcjanB, make up for lost
time, do lot of labor that would
have been unnecessary or, at least.
much less nerve-racking, had we
made an earlier start; and we wind
up with glorious hurrah finish
that reflects honor upon the name
OF the people, lends glory to the
cause we serve, fires the patriotism
of every citizen, and inspires every
one with an ambition to do better
next time.
| That Is very much the spirit OF
American affairs in general, and the
Instructive as well as amusing EN-
blematic features of Honolulu's
Floral Parade are by no means ex-
clusively confined TO the finished
floats and beautifully-decorated au-
tomobiles that you see In the line Of
march.
Whatever happens, We always win
out. And that's very much after
the style of George Washington and
Americanism generally.
Each year our success is bigger
and better, which is also typical OF
Americans and will become nor,
pronounced characteristic of this
section of the great Union.
II is, indeed. we'll worth while.

The One UNPLEASANTNESS.

Why Is II that the one unpleasant.

Why should the Rapid Transit com.
pan" deem IL necessary to attempt to
hold so religiously to its schedule
that 1t must break the line of pnrale
several times on the particular day
and hour selected by the citizens OF
Honolulu to get few moments OF
play In the street?
Citizens generally attribute 1t to
the pug ugliness of pig-hoaded cor
poration management. They give 1t
various names.
The fact is that the marring Incl.
dent shows bad Judgment. 1t is an en-
tirely unnecessary affront, not only to
the thousands on the streets but those
who have spent much time, money and
energy In getting beautiful floats,
that they naturally wish to make a
good showing on the street where

The CARNIVAL FEATURE.

ity and hard work of the local lodge
of Elks, Honolulu has shown that 1t

noise without being over bolster
Gus. II can enjoy itself while be-
coming separated willingly from a
few dollars In good cause, and at
the same time gaining full value for
the expenditure.
Every Tine an event Of this char
acter is successfully carried out,

the town does not have more of the

people have not appreciated In adj

the people.
The Floral Parade line on King
street was broken and impeded several
times by the Rapid Transit cars to-
day and thousands on the streets were
put to great inconvenience and dis.
comfort. The excuse probably is that
the service has to be kept up parade
or no parade.
The temper of the people last year
ought to have been a lesson TO the
company that the public prefers to see
the parade rather than have the Rapid
Transit service strive to keep sched.
ule on one particular street during
the particular hour Of the yeaf set
spart by Honolulu to do little cele.
brating on the streets.
Goodness knows the car lines were
off schedule. and II any greater incon.
venience to the public would have
been caused by holding King street to
the exclusive use Of the parade during
the forty.fve minutes 1t was passing,
citizens of Honolulu would gladly
forego all the trouble of congested
traffic. Better that, than to have their
day spoiled by banging, changing, out.
of.place Rapid Transit cars.
II is apparently necessary for the
people to take vigorous measures to
force this public service corporation
to exercise the qualities Of common
courtesy on the day of year when we
celebrate ourselves and invite people
from all the world to join us.
