pie. The interior of the house was
decorated with Elks' flags, the Stars
and Stripes and other emblems, while
nearly all the performers wore cos.
tunes that were conspicuous for the
purple that predominated.
The entertainment began with a
motion picture Of the great assem-
blage of Elks from all over the main
land. This showed some excellent
evolutions on the part Of the partici-
pants as well as a variety Of original
costumes. The crowds that lined the
streets were also shown. and it was
indeed an interesting picture of
great event.
The vaudeville section was undoubt-
eddy led by Foley and Earl. These
two sing a song and dance through
out, but the piece de resistance is the
dope fiend dance by Foley, the male
member of the duo. This is a mas
terly execution. He is undoubtedly
the finest dancer that has ever been
seen in Honolulu, and he derives
much assistance from Miss Earl. The
double dancing also deserves mention.
for it was undoubtedly good, and they
thoroughly merited the loud applause
that was extended to them. The
Youngren Brothers also established
themselves as firm favorites, for they
are a pair of clever hand balancers
and strong men. The ease with which
the bigger man handles his smaller
partner is remarkable. Their work
is along the same lines as Willis and
Hassan, who were brought here by
Congdon some time ago. The Youn-
grens should have a successful sea-
son here. Among the others who
materially assisted in the carrying
out of the excellent program were
the Hidalgos, real Spanish dancers,
Miss Hilda earle, Henry Vierra, Ted
Vaughn, Jordan and Gervaise and the
Anker Sisters.
At the conclusion of the perform
ance an adjournment was made to the
Elks club rooms on King street,
where supper was served.

GERMANS FOR FOREIGN LEGION

GERMANS FOR FOREIGN LEGION.
Once more a great fuss is being
made in Germany over the recruiting
of the Foreign Legion of France
among Germans. During the debate
on the army budget in the Reichstag,
General Won Heeringen commented
bitterly on the German newspapers
which advertised the legion. It's ranks,
he said, were mainly REINFORCED by
German deserters.
This was the signal for a savage
newspaper campaign. The journals
are calling upon the Government
daily to exact from the French au-
thorities guarantees that they will &C
cept no more German recruits. These
appeals are coupled with the bitter
est and most insulting expressions re-
garding France and her army. The
Cologne Gazette is one of the most
vociferous assailants 1t maintains
that the acceptance of Germans IN
the French army is contrary to Ger

STILL ANOTHER
WAR WARMING

Examiner. That the United states
be- inviting disaster and defeat by re
fusing to prepare for war with Japan,
was a warning sounded by Burr Mcin.
tosh IN his address before the Com.
monwealth Club at It's weekly lunch
con In the Palace Hotel yesterday.
Mcintosh said he was not voicing
his opinions alone. but those of men
high in the affairs Of the nation. who
were In position to know what they
were talking about
"The politicians and orators Of ia.
PAN" said Mcintosh, ARE going
about that country telling the people
that all the country west of the
Rocky Mountains belongs to Japan by
divine right, and that the United
States is discriminating only against
the Japanese i'm the matter of immi-
grafton. This is creating a tremen-
dous feeling of hostility against the
United States in that country, and
Japan is making active preparations
for war in accordance with public
clamor
at the same time the United
States is remaining quiescent, and
our politicians and demagogues are
preaching the propaganda of peace,
and declaring that war with Japan is
an absurdity.
when Japan does strike, it will be
at moments notice It is liable 70
be at any moment now, and when it
happens the Philippines, Hawaii and
Dutch Harbor will fall.
"There are 10000 armed japanese
soldiers in California; 1920 Colt re-
volvers were sold by one firm in Los
Angeles last year to Japanese; the
mountain passes would be blown up
the first thing; only 5000 troops
could be modified at San Antonio a
few weeks ago, whereas, it takes 49,
900 to make a full division, only thir-
ty per cent of the militia can be re-
lied upon for actual war service; sol
diers cannot be made in a week, any
more than mechanics can; of the 100-
$50 men applying for enlistment last
year S1,S76 had to be rejected, and
this shows the class of men applying
for enlistment in the regular army
Speaking of ship subsidy, he said
that about a year before E. H. Harri
man died, a prominent Japanese call
ed upon him and offered him 100000
year and part of the profits if he
would fly the Japanese flag on the
Pacific Mail steamers, but Hartman
refused, saying he was too good an
American.
"The United States today" he said,
lis like a great, big, beautifully plum
ed ostrich that raises its head high
in the air, surveys wonderfully its
plumage, and then with a gratifed
grunt sticks its head deep in the

STOWAWAYS

Although he was not actually re-.

department" the visitor was at once
taken mp in a lift to a gentleman who
might almost claim to have made n
lifelong study of stowaways.
"stowaways things Of the past" he
calculated, in response to the callers

away has become more popular of re-
cent years. The reason? The South
African War; the rush to the Cape.
No work there; so on to Australasia,
anywhere, then home again.
Even today, after the boats leave
Cape Town, there is always a stow
away hunt-a kind of 4 spy for the
crew.
"Stowaways are of two kinds There
are those who smuggle themselves
on board anyhow, and hide amongst
the cargo in the more usual, unsophis-
ticated way The others saunter
aboard with the passengers friends,
and, ignoring the cry of All ashore
pose comfortably as passengers them
selves, trusting to luck and cool cheek
to dodge the ticket-taker.

at all, and was given into custody.

farm. This is almost the same argu.
ment that was used by the slave
owner in the days Of slavery, viz:
that If he educated his slave, the
slave would be more likely to run
away. This, Of course, might be
true of slaves. and, who would blame
them? But the facts are these: in
the past forty years the country
schools have fallen far behind the
time there has been an unprecedented
movement from the country to the
cities and towns. This proves that
we cannot hold the country boy and
girl in the country by denying him
the advantages which are his by
right. Give him his dues In the coun.
try and he will stay there.

Good schooling sensibly acc uired

manhood than would otherwise have
resulted. Who is more fully entitled
to such preparation than the country
boy who far more than earns his

ering days of spring. who in the long

Good schooling sensibly acquired

who does much homework before

It is sometimes-aye, very often
argued that the residents in the coun-
try can not afford to have as good
schools nor as long terms as the
towns have. All will admit that he
who can best afford good things is he
who has the most wealth and he who
produces the most wealth. 1t Is a
fact that in South Dakota 80 per
cent of the wealth Is owned by farm
ers, 95 per cent of the wealth pro-
duced each year is produced by the
farmers, and so per cent of the bank
deposits of the state are held by
farmers. This being true, who is best
able to give his sons and daughters
the best training for life work? This
being true, which class of boys and
girls are really the most entitled to
good schooling?
1t is a fact, also. that the town
schools of the state pay an average
school tax of more than 20 mills on
the dollar. It is fact, too, that the
rural schools of the state pay an av-

Joseph Hubal, the Local
Harness Maker Disappeared

The mysterious disappearance Of
Joseph Hubal. the local harness max
er. on last Wednesday. created sem
sation. He and his wife made trip
to Yankton last Wednesday and after
doing some shopping they boarded
the train together. Mr.. Hubal re-
moved his overcoat, and as a few
moments were left before the train
was to leave, he got off. Mrs. Hubal
foreboded nothing out of place in his
supposed temporary leave and when
the train had started she conjectured
that her husband probably had taken
a place in the smoker. However,
when she arrived at Tabor, no signs
of her husband were to be seen, and
she appeased her troubled mind by
presuming that he missed the train
and would return next day. The
missing man failing to appear Thurs.
day and Friday, she hired J. e. Ma
tuska with his automobile and went
to Yankton Friday evening, where
search was made, but of no avail At
Yankton he was seen. according to
Jim, by several parties, and also made
out check for $40, cashing 1t at
vanecek's saloon, and payable at the
Tabor State bank. Early this week
word came from Scotland that the
missing man had been seen there,
where he told parties he was going to
Mitchell and from there to North
Dakota.
This queer action of man who
had been a resident of Tabor the
past seven years, and whose past
record had been the very best,
seems all the more puzzllng since
no quarrel or trouble with his
wife had preceded his sudden
