HOW ABOUT THIS MAN?

! am a wage Garner, SO years
old, and have a wife and three
children. all girls, from 9 to IA
year$ old. My salary is SIS week.
After pay my rent, fuel, light
meat and grocery bills there
is not enough left to buy plain
decent clothing to go around.
We do not spend any money for
pleasure; never go to any places of
amusement and have got to a point
where even a car ride that is not
bsolutely necessary is never taken.
My oldest daughter is at an age
when she could be immensely bene-
Tilted by continuing in school. Yet
IN order to make a living there
seems no other way but she must go
20 work.
Although I am a skilled laborer
wages in my trade remain the same
while all articles of living have
continued 10 advance for the past
FIVE or ten years.

Industrious; l am possessed of
ordinary intelligence and education
and practice economy in every way
possible yet I am unable to make a
living for my wife and three
children which is not large family.
do not mean a luxurious living
but a decent one consisting of
wholesome food and plain clothing.
Consequently am forced to put
my half-grown children to work
the instant the law will permit
although I know they can earn but
a few dollars-about $3.50 or $3.50
a week in some factory.
4 am told there are plenty of jobs
Of that kind open and the factories
are always advertising for young
girls. But the question is just this:
what consolation on earth is there
for man to raise family when
he knows their future is to be one
Of these sweat shops at pittance
If wages below actual existence?
What satisfaction is all of Mr..
Roosevlt's or Mr.. Anybody Else's
ak against race suicide with such
prospects ahead?
How do you suppose Mr.. Taft's
md Mr.. Sherman's higher tariff
arguments will sound to me the
lay | take my daughter out of
chool and start her to work in a
'actory? Yet l am not nearly as
BADLY off as thousands of others;
have little more than half loaf.
I am neither begging nor looking
Tor sympathy but there's something
iadically wrong. What is it? Is |
here such a scarcity in the land

ing the value of the Spreckels site as
the site for the proposed building.
1t was stated on the street yesterday
that he had made several tempting of
fers to purchase the old Bell Telephone
corner at the corner of Merchant and
Alakea, which was bought some months

Hawaiian Monument and Iron Fence
Company. 1t, was also stated that this
property might yet change hands again.
Spreckels is known to have desired
this property for some time, even be-
fore Hendricks opened negotiations for
it. The Spreckels site runs up to this
property and by acquiring the corner
in question he would acquire splen-
did piece of property.
Mr.. Spreckels has also held several
conferences with business men, which
might have given cause for the coming

John Anderson Drowned and His
Body Devoured by the
ManeaterS.

WAILUKU. October In looking
down from the top of rocky ledge at
the bottom of which his wife and
relative were picking shelifsh, opihis,
the Makena lighthouse keeper, John
Anderson, fell into the sea and either
by striking on the rocks or by being
thrown against them by the heavy seas
he was killed His body has not been

which infest the place.

seaport town on the coast of Norway
| near the Arctic circle, sixty years ago
He led the life of deep water sailor
until he came to these Islands during
1879 to work on the Spreckelsvile sug
ar plantation. In partnership with an
other man he went into hog raising at
Miller 5 hill near MAIZENA,. When in
the year 1883 the Kinau ran aground
and narrowly escaped being wrecked
on a rocky point two miles south of
Makena and the minister of the interior
esta blished lighthouse at that place,
j ohn Anderson was appointed its keep
er, an appointment he has held near
thirty years from the time of the mon
archy until the system passed under
federal control.

GAMBLERS NABBED.

Wideopen doors greeted Chief Me
Duffie and a portion of his staff last
night on a raid to honolulu, and the
merry chink of fortunes wheels were
heard up to the very minute the men
broke IN. Sixteen gamblers were
nabbed, two games, one of supchai and
one Of paikau, being played.
NeDuffie secured flashlights of the
whole party with the new camera he
has bought for just that purpose, and

With the exception of several husky
Chinese, whom McDufie found himself
called upon 10 graPple with and with
whom he turned turtle, the affair was
peaceful and without excitement.

two hundred. In 1905 the figures

the board had only registered 2421, and
the work was about complete.
Nothing has been heard for a week

registration figures were ahead of those
of 1908. Two years ago the otfic ial
registration showed HOS: this year, ac-
cording to advance figures, the registra

West Hawaii shows a falling off of
approximately one hundred voters.

the board will turn in list of 1880,
while two years ago the list carried
1927 names.
On the Hilo side. according to the
outlook Yesterday morning, there will
be 1900 registered, a gain of more than
a hundred and fifty over the last regis

At the last general election the total
registration amounted to 1924, fall

feated by a Score
of IL to 3.

The Columbia high school football
team defeated the team from the
Montgomery City high school yester-
day morning, by score of II to 3.
The game started at 1925, and for
a few minutes it seemed that the
Montgomery players had the advan-
tage, but the Columbia team settled
down and Gibbs went through for a
touchdown before the end of the first
quarter Hyde failed at goal. Crouch
got the ball on a kickoff and carried
it 40 yards before being downed.
Graves made several long runs. To-
wards the close OF the quarter Tate
of Columbia high went through for the
second touchdown. Hyde kicked goal
In the second half Montgomery
started in stronger. Ball, Wheeler,
and Graves made good gains, but the
Columbia team encouraged by their
work during the first half, held them
for downs.
Wheeler recovered the ball on a
tumble and carried it to the 2O-yard
line and Ball drop-kicked goal. This
was Montgomery's only score. Neither
side scored in the last quarter.
The lineup was as follows:
Columbia High: D. Robnett, center;
Wheeler, right guard; Sheers, left
guard; Dunbar, right tackle; Howell,
left tackle; Hyde, right end; w. Rob-
nett, left end; Crouch, Miller, quarter;
Ketchem, right half; ]. Miller, left
half; Gibbs, fullback.
Montgomery City High: Hudson,
center; Claire, right guard; Barton,
left guard; Gupton, right tackle;
