LIQUOR BUSINESS
Sells Out to Dicky Davis for
$4,000 Subject to Ii

There is deal on which, if the
board of liquor license commissioners

Jack Scully, the popular proprietor for
several years of the Fashion Saloon

ter viii become proprietor of the bust
ness. The sale means the payment of
$24,0 900, of which twenty thousand dol
lars is paid in cash and the balance
is taken out in certain stock. Davis
has been identified with the Maui wine

Since Colonel Mccarthy. of the CTi

business by selling his interests to Pete

the liquor interests were concerned. in
the race for the senat0rShip, there has

LYMAN DEFENDS
HONOL|| CONTRACT
Says HiIo Board of Trade Is
Jealous Because Hawaiian
Supervisors Prove Able.

HlLO, August 21.-Superyisor Nor
man X. Lyman comes out strongly il
defense of the present Republican
board of supervisors in the Honolulu
road contract matter, pointing out thai
the present board is composed almost
entirely of Hawaiians and has been able
to accomplish what could not be done
during the time of the monarchy, by
road boards subsequently or by the two
previous boards of supervisors. Mr.
Lyman says:
Ever since the days Of the mon
archy it has not been found possible
to construct the Honoln road. EST
mates made when the Territory had
control Of the road gave a cost OF
100000 and there was never available
cash. Two county boards have come
and gone, former road boards have
passed and nothing was done. The
present board of supervisors started out
to try and do this work and found the
cash, then in stepped the board of trade
to work little politics and trot out it,
old hobbyhOrse of the county engineer
Its real object was to discredit the
board of supervisors, which is CONTROL.
ed by Hawaiians, for undertaking such
a large Job without first consulting
the board of trade.
''When bids were asked for the work
Mr. Metzger had his chance with others
but he claimed that it could not be
done. under the specifications for the
amount bid, and he made a protest in
stead of bidding. Since then, however
the work has gone ahead, and now
shows signs of being nearly finished
So the next movement of the board OF
trade was TO say that we are spending
too much money on 1t and to claim
that we cannot now complete it. Thi>
is simply an effort to try to discredit
the present board of supervisors and Dc
little political stunt for their owl
benefit We should be glad if the whole
board of trade would go into the bust
ness of road building and do better
Auto roads cannot be made by kicking
but they can be helped by cooperation
and assistance Had such contrac
as that for the HonoIii road beer
awarded to a member Of the board o
trade, there never would have been
kick, protest, or even murmur car
ried by the wind.
Il admit that this is a large con
tract, because it has three large con
crete culverts and several cuffs in tn
banks from fifty to sixty feet deer
This being the case, all the more credi
to the present board of supervisors
composed. with one exception, of Ha
waiians.

.PuNAHOU REOPENs
LATER THIS YEAR
Registration Heavy to Date-An
Addition Is Made to
the Faculty.

Oahu College opens Monday, Septem-
Der u. This is one week later than
usual but the change was made largely
to make the Punahou school year tit
better into the schedule of the examina-
tions for admission to the mainland
colleges.
An addition to the faculty has been
made i'll the director Of the boarding
department. This teacher will have
direct charge of the students in the
dormitories and will be coordinate in
power to the principals. With the
careful personal oversight of this teach
er, the boarding department at the col

administration than before. Ernest L.
Chase, a graduate of Boston University
and Il teacher with long experience III

Academy and Nichols Academy, Of
which he was head master, comes this
year to take the position. As Mr..
Chase is athletic and has had expert
ence in Y. NJ. G. \. work, he Will be
valuable in the boys club work OF the
college and in other outside activities
on the campus and in the community.
President Gritfiths has been busy
since his return in getting fully in
touch with the many details at the col

ments for the opening of the school
year. He is in his office every morning
from nine to eleven clock, where
parents or students who wish to confer
with him may find him. He will meet

To Destroy Snails.
CASTELAR,,

A Lancaster county profeSSlon2l
man wrote to State Zoologist Sur
face, Harrisburg, stating that his
cellar, built four years ago of lime
stone, was infested last year with
'some animal that looked to him
like a snail. 1t came out during
the night, and left Shiny tracks.
He asked what to do to get rid OF
the pest.
Professor Surface replied as fol-
lows: ''As to what to do for snails
in your cellar, / can say that the
best thing is to dust freshly slaked
lime abundantly into the cracks OF
crevices that might be inhabited by
these lowly animals. Their bodies
are moist, and the freshly slaked
lime is more than they can stand.
They can also be killed by poison
ing them, dipping fresh slices OF
potatoes into mixture of one part
Paris green and thirty or forty
parts flour, and placing the slices
where the snails will feed upon
them. AS a rule, however, the
lime is sufficient, and this is also
good for sanitary purposes.

When Social Life is Needed.

1t was thought when telephones,
rural delivery and other advantages
were introduced that they would
have the effect of stemming the tide
from the country to the city but the
tide, except here and there, does
not diminish in volume.
Great as is the boon Of these ia
cilities they do not make up for the
lack of social life in the rural dis
tricts, and that lack seems to be
the weakest point. In former days,
when the city was not accessible,
the social instincts of the people
were met and largely satisfied by
the spelling bees, husking bees,
singing school and, Oh their social
side, the ''protracted' meetings.
But these things have almost entire
ly vanished and little or nothing of
Il social character has taken their
place. Yet it ought to be possible
to provide some attractive and help
full social recreation for farmers
families, and for that purpose the
country school building might be
utilized more Of an evening than it
now is. With the social problem
solved in all probability the drift
from the country will be arrested.

We are pleased at the way our
out-of-town writers have been sup
plying us with news items and the
manner in which they are written,
however, few suggestions may be
of benefit: When speaking of out
of town people always tell when
anything took place. When re-
porting births, deaths, marriages,
etc, always give all dates. Always
sign your name to items. When
out of supplies ask for more.
We would like a correspondent
in Forksville, Sonestown, Bernice
or any other county town from
which we receive no letter.

OBITUARY..
DR.. Rose Morgan.

DR.. Rose Morgan, died at her
home in Williamsport on Tuesday
morning, after brief illness, at the
age of 53 years.
DR.. Morgan was gl'and-daugh-
ter of Judge JOS. b. Anthony. At
the age of II years she went to
Walrensville where she attended
the township school and later the
Central State Normal at Lock Hav-
en-. where she remained for ) years
as the head of the model school.
After teaching for a number of
years she determined to take up the
study of medicine and took several
courses in various schools gradual
ing from the Woman's Medical Col
lege of Philadelphia in 1895.
This is sad news to her many
friends in Laporte where she prac-
ticed in her profession with DR..
Wilson for several years. Her sue
cess as a medical practitioner was
very marked, and she had the con-
lidence and good will of every one.
Much regret was expressed when,
after the death of doctor Wilson,
she returned to Williamsport. She
was a prominent member Of the
Lycoming County Medical Society.
DR.. Morgan's demise from an ac-
tive and useful life came as a strik-
ing blow to a wide circle of friends
who will mourn her loss.
Deceased was survived by her
father and one brother. Mrs.
Mable Ritter is a niece.

Have the Trusts Increased
the Cost of Living?

That the trusts by their COM
fbination, or mutual understanding
have made the things they manu-
facture, or deal in, dearer in price
is extremely probable. Thatsthey
have made enormous profits is
proven by their payment of such
|'exorbitant dividends to their stock
holders as to make them immensely
rich.
Mr.. Rockefeller says the Stand
ard Oil Company has made better
oil, and made it cheaper than it
was before his company was organ
lied. That may be so, and still it
he true that they are exacting more
money from poor, hard working
people, to pile up in their banks
than is Just or christian like. Had
the great oil and steel trusts been
satisfied with reasonable profits,
Mr.. Rockefeller, and Mr.. Carnegie
would not now be worth hundreds
Of millions of dollars each. That
they are amiable men, and liberal
givers of large sums for colleges,
and libraries, does not alter the
cfat that the corporations which
exact much tribute from the COM
mon people are unjust, unscript-
ural. and pernicious.
Corporations are necessary to
carry on great enterprises, but they
should be restricted by law from
making such exorbitant profits.
The government that gives them
their right to do business, should
restrict them to reasonable gains.
If the Standard Oil Company made
oil cheaper, it was III part because
new oil territory was discovered,
and gushing wells put down. If
they obtained lower rates of freight
from the railroads then any other
shippers, and still lower cost of
transportation by laying down pipe
lines; if they saved money by buy
ing out the small private refineries,
and doing great wholesale busi-
ness; from whatever means they
have made great gains they should
be willing to share it with the peo-
pie or give up their charters. If
the profits of the trusts are un-
reasonably great then they have
contributed toward increasing the
cost of living.
