Calls Child Labor Act Void

Taking the unique position that the
Constitution compels the State to RET
quire the attendance of children at
school, j. Brognard Belts, Assistant
Commissioner of Education, has rem
dered an opinion in which he holds
that the Child Labor Law of the
State is void in SO far as it affects
children within the school age.
He says that the law compelling
parents and guardians. having control
of children between the ages of and
II to send these children to school
should be enforced and all violations
proceeded against. He holds that the
Labor Law does not repeal any pro-
vision of the School Law, and that
children under the age of II years
who are employed in factories or
mercantile establishments, and who
have not been excused from attend
ance at school. and their parents and
guardians may be proceeded against
for violating the school law.

to attendance.
Mr. Kirby said the attendance was
as good one day as another. D. T..
Brown thought is was not as good as
last year.
Theo. Brown said the Employers
liability law contained features dam
gerous to small employers, most of
whom are heavily in debt II they
had an accident they would be liable
for more than they were worth. This
was a wrong to all concerned. There
ought to be some compensation for
labor, but it is wrong to throw all on

sSCongress TO be Educated.

The big financial interests which
have their headquarters in Wall St.,
have reached the conclusion that it
will be worth one million dollars to
put the Aldrich banking plan thro-
ugh Congress.
An organization, known as the
National Citizens League for the
Promotion of Sound System" has
been formed, and the work OF raising
funds already is under way in all the
big cities of the country.
Just how the money will be used to
put the bill through" has not been
made clear. In Philadelphia the

that pressure would be brought to

CHRISTMAS WITH THE MOOSE


county come words of praise for the
to aid the worthy poor of the county
on Christmas Day. Every citizen is
invited to help with contribution of
money, clothing, provisions, etc.
The contributions received by Sec
retary Albright to date amount to
over $3.50 and scores of pledges of
food stuffs are coming from men and
women of the county. The lodge
home on Cooper street will be re-
ceiying station the week prior to
Christmas, December Is to "a, and a
committee will be on hand day and
night to care for donations. On Sat
urday afternoon, automobiles will
move into every part of the county
laden with Christmas cheer baskets.
The General Committee of fifty will
report the families to be cared for
in their respective communities and
with the assistance of the churches of
the county, it is believed the plan of
making the coming Christmas happy
one in many homes will work out
admirably. In answer to the many
Inquiries which have come during the
past week, the committee desires to
make it clear that the movement has
for its only object the making of a
Merry Christmas for those who are
unable by reason of adversity or
poverty to enjoy the day of days in all
the year.
The Moose Lodge realizes the re-
sponsibility of the work and seeks the
cooperation Of every charitably dis
posed person, believing that great
good can and will be accomplished
through organized effort of this kind.
Many farmers of the county will
send barrels of potatoes, apples, cab
bage, etc, and with the money con-
tributed the committee will be able
to make complete substantial
Christmas basket for many homes.

The Kegel club of Kauai has
accepted the challenge of the Puu-
meme club for a bowling match.
The teams are to be composed Of
five men each, and five games are
to be rolled. The match will be
rolled ON the evening of December
9th, that being the date of the
Puunene athletic club carnival.
The Maui team will be composed of

follows: G. Maser, II. Wolters,

and Carls. This is the first inter-
island bowling match, but now
that this sport is becoming SO popu-
lar, it is probable, that other mat
ches will be played in the near
future.
A tournament is now under way

Settlement Associations.

The locating of number of
American homesteaders on the
Haiku lands, to augment the Amer
lean homesteaders already in that
homesteading colony, appears like
ly. The Lindsay settlement asso-
citation, of eighteen members, all of
Maui, and the California settlement
association, of eighteen members,
from Honolulu and California, have
each applied to the government
some time ago. In this issue ap-
pears two notices that this land is
to be opened to the associations.
The settling of homesteads by
thirty-six American homesteaders,
in one locality, is an event of more
than passing interest in Hawaii.
1t might easily mark the opening
up of new homesteading era, the
commencement of the migration to
Hawaii of the American farmer, so
much desired. The lands in oues-
ton are among the most valuable
for homestead purposes in the Ter
ritory, being especially adaped for
pineapple cultivation, with cam
merry within reach and with the
prospect of being brought into touch
with the market through the pro-
posed extension of the Kahului
railroad.
AS the opening of this land has
been petitioned for under the home-
stead settlement clause of the land
law, only those who are members
of one or the other of the associa-
tions are eligible to make entry.
The land Office has received several
inquiries as to this land since it be-
came known that the settlement
associations were formed, the in
quirers in each case being referred
to the heads of the associations.
This accounts, probably, for the re-
ports that the government is reserv-
ing this land for white settlers only,
as it happens that only Americans
are members as yet of the two asso-
Citations.

Baseball
Results
The Season Draws TO a Close With
the Stars Winners.

The Stars practically cinched
their hold on first place in the
league by winning the game from
Kahului last Sunday. OF course if
the board of appeals decide that the
last game with Paia should be play
ed over, it will become necessary
for them to win it to be sure of
their lead. But if this game should
be played over, the probability is
that the Stars would win.
The Paias defeated the Wailukus
last Sunday, or rather they scored
the most runs because the Wailuku
team acted as though they did not
want to win. They threw the game
away in the third inning, by mex
cusable errors, and again in the
ninth with men on third and
second, and no outs, and only two
runs wanted to tie the score, the
baserunners deliberately walked off
the bases and were logged out.
Such bone headed baseball it has
never before been our privilege to
witness. The final score was Paia
10, Wailuku s.. Meyer pitched
good game. and even with the
numerous errors behind him shut
Paia out after the third inning.
The second game was close con-
test, and while the Stars were ahead
at all times, still the Kahuluis made
enough trouble to appear dangerous,
and kept the crowd on edge to the
last.
The last games on the schedule
will be played at Kahului Sunday.
The Stars and Wailukus, playing
the first game, and the Paias and
Kahuluis the second. There is also
a postponed game to be played off,
which will probably be played the
following Sunday.

Rifles
Immense Guns Being Built For Coast
Defense.

The biggest gun in the world was
built primarily to guard the biggest
canal in the world. This enormous
engine of destruction is a 16-in.
breech-loading rifle, the newest
weapon designed for the sea-coast
defense of the United States and it's
insular possessions, the first one
completed being intended for the
Panama Canal. The total length
of the gun is 49 #. 2.9 in. 1t has
a diameter of 60 in. at the breech,
tapering to 2S in. at the muzzle.
If smokeless powder is used, it is
estimated that a full charge of 576
Id. will throw a proiectle weighing
2,400 lb. distance of % miles.
The projectile prepared for the
monster is 5 #. A in. long, and it
has been calculated that it would
go through a steel plate 42.3 in.
thick, if the plate was placed at the
muzzle.
Should 16-in. gun be placed at
the Battery, New York, the circle
inclosing its zone of fire would pass
through Hampstead and Long Beach
on Long Island, and its shells would
pass far above Staten Island and
fall half mile beyond the Atlantic
Highlands If Mont Blanc were
placed on top of Pixies Peak the
projectile would clear the combined
height with more than the height
OF the Washington monument to
spare. This is far greater than the
maximum range of any other gun
up to the present time.
The total weight of this American
monster is 13O tons. What would
happen to vessel when hit by one
Of It's proiectiles can only be sur
missed. The French battleship
"Liberte, which blew up the other
day, would probably look like a
slightly damaged ship beside it.
Other rified guns of large caliber
heretofore constructed are the Italian
gun, caliber 1915 in, the French
gun of 6.5-in caliber and the Arm
strong gun of 16.25-in. caliber.
The greatest gun ever built by the
Krupps had range of 1917 miles.
None of these compare in point of
energy and range with the newest
American product.
This immense rifle, which was
built at the Watervliet Arsenal, is
now at the Proving Grounds at
Sandy Hook and no date has as yet
been determined upon for its re-
moval to Panama. 1t is expected
that guns of the same type will be
placed in the Notifications in the
Philippines and in Hawaii. Ameri-
can ordnance experts are elated
over the success that has attended
the experiments with the new gun.

Even now we are getting news
of further massacres of women and
children who were discovered on diff

heavy losses in battle.
