Norman E. Mack Presents Claims of
ALI Democratic Possibilities.

BUFFALO, N T.. July THAT Chair
man Norman e. Mack Of the democratic
national committee 10 not playing any
favorites for the democratic presidential
nomination is indicated by the fact that
in the July number Of his democratic
magazine. National Monthly. he presents
the claims OF Gov. Judson Harmon OF
Ohio for the nomination. This formal
presentation was preceded by the pres
entation OF Gov. Marshall OF Indiana and
Gov. Woodrow Wilson OF New Jersey in
preceding numbers. After reviewing Gov.
Harmon's career and paying particular
attention to his record as governor, the
current article comments:
ITO say that Judson Harmon Is indff-
ferent to the movement. which IL now
nationwide. to make him the leader OF
the democratic progressivexpatrio ma
jority OF the national electorate In the
presidential contest OF 1912 would be to
impeaeh his intelligence. II the exigen-
cies of the impending twelve months call
him as the leader In the final and, 1t is
hoped, triumphant battle between man
hood and mammon, he will advance the
standard OF the people with iron nerve
and unswervable determination. II an
other is accorded the chieftainship he
will be found at the 'front.'

James Bird Not q Deserter.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
1t was with deep interest that read the
letters Of your correspondent, William e.
Curtis, telling Of Perry's victory on Lake
Erie, etc. Were 1 still living in Erie,
which was my home until 1882, 1 would
be one Of its oldest Inhabitants. L dis
tinctly remember the old blockhouse
which was burned and Of standing by
the grave Of Gen. Anthony Wayne be-
fore the changes were made mentioned
by Mr.. Curtis.
My object in writing these lines is to
call attention TO lone of Commodore Per-
rvs heroes" who is mentioned in one Of
Mr.. Curtis letters as "deserter." He
was young man who was simply human,
and just as many others would have done
under the same circumstances he wanted
10 see his sweetheart and tell his wonder
full story. He left without asking leave
and. after spending a few hours with her
who was to have been his bride, he hastily
returned. utterly unconscious of the fate
that awaited him. The ''doleful ballad, -
which was composed by a woman, and
commenced with the words:
Sad and gloomy was the morning
Bird was ordered out to die
was simply an expression of public SEN
timent, II I may judge from the impress
sion left upon the minds Of people long
afterward. In my childhood days 1 heard
the story Of James Bird told and retold
until it was burned into my very soul, and
have always looked upon the taking Of
that noble young soldiers life as dark
blot upon that page of American history
One writer. in giving the account SAYS
Perrys men were sickly looking set, APP
parently utterly unable to combat with
the enemy This same writer says of the
negroes who took part in the battle, They
seemed utterly insensible to fear"
My father was one Of the early settlers
In Erie county, having gone from Yer
mont when young man to make home
in the wilderness few miles south of
Erie, where he lived and died. MY mother
was the daughter of q revolutionary SOL
der, who was with Montgomery when he
fell in the battle at Quebec. the full ac-
count of which Is in the pension office
here in Washington.
For tWenty-Seven years / have walked
these streets. always carrying q cane
made from a choice part Of the wood of
the old flagship Lawrence having Sc
lected myself the part Of the wood of
which l wanted the cane made 1t has
history all it's own. Aside from the
purpose 1t has served me 1t has been a re-
minder Of the words Of the dying soldier
for whom the flagship was named, Don t
give up the ship"

tried opening their homes in this way
have gone away happy in the thought
that they have In part helped to lift the

About half of it is owned by private per-
sons and the remainder belongs to the
government. In addition to this there
are about 100000 acres which could be
mace available by proper irrigation and
drainage. Already this land IS being
considered by homeseekers. Small tracts

Hawaii. however. is not the place for
the money1ess settler. 1t requires more
on the mainland, as the methods of agri-
culture differ. The settler I'm the semi
tropical climate must have money to en-
ploy labor and to wait from two to four
years Tor his crops to yield. But with
rich harvest is bound to come
Tho fertile soil OF Hawaii Is suitable
for many crops beside that Of sugar.
which Is its chief
Soil suitable product and COM
for Many Crops. Perhans the mos,
lucrative product Is the pineapple, which
In Hawaii has luscious flavor unex-
ceiied by that in any other part OF the
world Rice is a paying crop. 1t is
said that by growing two crops of rice
year, one crop will pay the expenses
OF both. thus leaving the other a pure
profit. Cotton growing has been success
fully demonstrated, and the same may
he said of rubber Experiments with to-
bacco show that grades which compare
favorably with the best that Cuba and
Brazil can produce can be grown on
Hawaiian soil.
Coffee is poor mans crop in Hawaii.
1t grows in the high, cool regions. 1t
does not require expensive machinery to
grow or to prepare for market 1t rather
improves with age. and even a single
bag can be readily turned into cash as
soon as it reaches the market Twelve
acres OF land have been known to yield
twelve tons Of coffee although thousand
pounds an acre Is good crop. One man
can attend to twenty acres. excepting
at picking time. Pickers are paid 80 cents
per hundredweight Of the berries brought
into the mill. Last years coffee crop
IN Hawaii appropriated half a million
dollars in value and most Of 1t came to
the mainland Of the United States.
