tive grass houses were bought, removed
from kaimubI and regretted on the
club grounds.
The grass houses were built as Chief S
residences by old Hawaiians. They
were the last of their kind on the island
of Oahu, and were moved to the Out
rigger grounds as most appropriate
buildings for an Hawaiian club. Their
complete rehabilitation has long been
contemplated. Photographs and descrip
tions of the methods of repairing ma
tive houses on the big island of Hawaii
have recently been secured, and the

well as for cloak room when enter

CLUB, MEMBERS ENTRANCE.
! Around the lagoon, six to ten feet
from the present walls, foot high
coral wall was to be built and the in
tervening space filled in from the lagoon
! bed. In this space cocoanuts and BAN
! boo were to be planted. Across the
part of the beach through which the
! lagoon usually breaks to the sea, rus
| tic cocoanut log bridge was to be built;
preliminary details having been dis
! cussed with Alexander Young. The
! lagoon was then to be kept full of water
and emptied periodically.
| The club is Just two years old and
some progress has been made toward a
uniform plan of identifying the grounds
and maintaining an HawaIan atmos:

and instructive to the child1en of Ho-

Terms of Lease.
According to the terms of the lease
| seventv-fve dollars worth of work in
the way of retaining wall construction
and filing in must be completed an
nuaIly.
So far, considerable work in the way
, of filling in has been completed. A con-
! tract was entered into over d wear ago
under the terms of which the contrac-
tors We're to build stone wall out into
the lagoon parallel with the lagoon
lanai. and complete other work, the
| total cost of which was to amount to
about $500. Some filing in was com
pleted and a long coral wall removed
seven feet. The contract was that 1000
loads Of sand were to be removed from
the club property, some distance away
from the beach. and that for every load
Of sand removed a load Of earth was
to be replaced and the sum of twenty
five cents credited on the payment of
the construction Of the retaining wall
| II the lagoon. So in this way the club
would have its retaining wall completed
without actual cost.
Engineers and contractors spent some
| days laying out the plan for this wall,
and many other plans were suggested
but the plan begun was the one settled
upon as the Wisest and best. The plan
is-coraI wall and roadway from street
to lagoon lanai now comPleted; stone
wall along Diamond Head side Of lagoon
i lanai, ninety feet in straight parallel
line, then a turn Of ten feet: twenty
five feet Of stone wall on Young prop

with Mr. Young The course of the
stream would then be fixed and water
could be kept in the lagoon without fear

IN A STATE OF SOLUTION
In Ambrose Bierce's Shadow on the Dial" you
will find this passage, written years ago.
If declare himself democrat or a
republican and the claim should be contested he
would find it difficult to prove The miss
link his chain of evidence would be the
major premise in the syllogism. necessary to the
establishment of his political status-a definition
OF democrat republican. Most of the statesmen
in public private life who polparroting
these words do with entire Inconsistencies
of their meaning, rather without knowledge
that they have lost whatever meaning they once
had The words survivas marking dead
issues and covering allegiance of the oosest and
most shallow character. On any question of inn
portance each party is divided against itself and
dare not formulate preference There is no
question before the country on which one NAV not
think and vote he likes without affecting his
standing in the political communion of saints Of
which he processes himself member. Party
lines are as terribly confused as the parallels of
latitude and longitude after twisting earthquake
those aimless lines representing the competing

ing the only direct route
This is more true today than when it was writ
ten. The ancient plan of making fetish of party
names is dead. party label has ceased to be a
political asset for private profit
HAND ME DOWN OPINIONS
In view of the present position assumed by. Otis
it is perhaps unknd to dig up what he printed about
Stanton on August Z, 1904 This from the Los
Angeles Times of that date:
Stanton is the machine candidate for the as
sembly politician who is the creature of the
Espee machine who takes his orders from its
Bosses programmer in every political sense of
the word, who represented not his district but his
political makers at the last session of the lepis-
1ature.
1t is not in the least important what Otis wrote
or writes about Stanton any other man. but the
quotations serve to illustrate my argument about
the decline OF newspaper influence.
A YOUNG OLE BILL
The Chronicle is always more amusing than it
knows. This is how it introduces Billy Ralston:
Yesterday, III the clear, straightforward language

Il firmly believe Alden Anderson will receive

SOMETHING FIERCE
One learns from Alden Anderson's press agency
that he has been through six fierce campaigns.
The language puzzles had not suspected Mr.. An
derson of anything fierce until the other day
walking down Market street | encountered float
whose emblazoned sides were devoted to preaching
the gospel according to Alden. One face of the
float bore this strange device: This team is not
driven by ]. Dalzell Brown Cor paid for with the
stolen Sl2, ,5OOOOO), nor by Rudolph Spreckels of
Chicago, nor by Dr. W. F. Burke of Santa Rosa nor
by netting Jimmy Phean Ego to work or get

This may help to understand what Mr.. Ander-
son means by something fierce But, now that we
know who didn't pay for the team, it is fair to
inquire who did.

NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE
The irresponsible and insincere writing about
politics explains why newspapers lose their
influence. There, for instance, is the Los Angeles
Times raging the prevailing drift in regstra-
ton to the republican party
AS matter of fact, when they registered as
republicans they perjurng themselves If
they register republicans and then vote at the
primaries democrats they committing two
fold perjury. OF course, the wretch who will
trickiy he is republican when he is a
democrat not be depended upon for CON
sciences sake to keep his oath But in this case
under machine arrangements and boss rule he has
motive for perjuring himself in the first in
stance and for not doing in the second
1t is simple flonsenSe-nlalcious nonsense-to
describe change from party to another as per-
jury. Party names have ceased to mean ANYTHING
in particular. Democracy means nothing at all, and
the other party only shows signs of life in so far as
insurgency prevails. The machinery known as .the
organization is as dead in one party as in the other
SO far popular following is concerned But the
democracy shows no sign Of life anywhere, and
accordingly the drift is to the other party. which
