Or. SUM YAT S[N'S
SON IN THE CITY.
Here on His Way to China to
Meet Ms Father, Coming from
the Worlds other Side.
(FIom wedneaday'a AdyertIaer. }

Sun 70, the eldest son Of DR.. Sun Yat
Sen. the Chinese revolutionary leader,
is in Honolulu, en- route to China, where
he win probably Join his father Ho
win remain in Honolulu for week or
two, visiting local relatives and friends.
Mr. Sun, bright bat modest youth
Of twenty, is sverse to talking Of his
fathers movements, although willing
TO confirm what has already been cabled
to Honolulu, that Doctor Sun is now
on his way TO China and should be on
the scene within the next two weeks,
possibly in time to take part in the
important conference to be held at
Hankow between the ENJOYS of Prem
ier Yuan Shih-Kai, the representatives
of the republicans and the delegates
of the various provinces.
81 know that my father has kept
closely in touch with the leaders of the
revolution in the field" says his son,
g He has been in constant communica.
tiOn with them and has been doing his
work in cooperation with them. Not
so very long ago, the revolutionary Gov
ernor of Kiangsu, at Shanghai, tele-
graphed the generals in the field urging
that they send at once for my father
in view of the fact that the revolution
was succeeding and that they would
need him in China when new govern
ment was being formed.''
Sun F'o does not credit in the least
the reports that have appeared in some
quarters to the effect that his father
is not one of the prime factors in the
present Chinese civil war. According
to some hints he drops, the world viii
hear from Sun Yat Sen before the New
Year arrives.

ther may some day be the President o.

SHERWOOD PENSION
BILL ON THE way.
Every Union Veteran win Get a

WASHINGTON, December lathe
Sherwood Pension Bill passed its third,
reading in the house yesterday and has
been sent to the senate. The bill in
wolves an annual expense upon the gov
ernment of seventy-fve million dollars
and authorizes the payment of pensions
ranging from fifteen to thirty dollars

May Abrogate Treaty.
WASHINGTON, December l2.-The
house committee on foreign affairs to-
day agreed to recommend the abroRa-
tion of the treaty between the United
States and Russia, as a protest against
the discrimination shown by the Rus
sian government against the Jews in
issuing passports to Americans.
Testimony was heard to the effect
that the exclusion also extends to ROM
an Catholic and Protestant missionaries.

Hiatory Of the Flag.

The son of the propagandist throws
some interesting light ON the history of
the revolutionary flag, which flies in
hundreds of places in this city and
which is to be seen throughout America,
wherever Chinese are, and which is con-
spicuous in all the recent photographs
of street scenes in Canton, Shanghai
and Hongkong, the flag of the Rising
Sun.
The general impression in Honolulu
is that the flag is of very recent origin.
According to Sun Fo, however, it was
first flung TO the breeze sixteen years
ago, when Chinese patriots spilled their
blood for it. This was during the first
Canton rebellion, stirred up by his fa-
ther and Look Hon Tung, the latter de-
7's--'--s -eiso- sv1sfpe sun ON blue
ground, typifying his belief that the
day had arrived when the light of liz.
erty should illumine the earth. In the
hgntlng, Look Hou Tung was captured
and executed.
Later, at conference of the revolu.
tionary leaders in Toxic, the flag of
Look Hon Tung was taken and formally
adopted as battle flag for the repub-
licans, while the republican flag. that
of the sun on the blue ground as q
canton for the red field, was also adopt-
ed, the republicans expressly adopting
the red in order that the flag might be
red, white and blue as the flag of the
American Republic was.
Mother in Penang.
Sun Fo, while in the East, will visit
his mother and sisters at Penang. He
expects to return from the Orient some
time next year to resume his studies
at Berkeley.

of the Seventh ward was held last
evening at the Horace Mann school
and there was a general discussion
of the proposed new sewer which is
to drain that section Of the city. The
matter has been under consideration
by the owners of property for months
and apparently the time for making
the improvement is ripe. There
were 200 present at the meeting
which was presided over by John

committee including, I'm addition to

/ II l am elected mayor of Rock
Island, what will be my platform /?
That is a hard question to answer,
If taken seriously. but dead easy if
treated lightly and disposed of with
many promises, as has been the Gus
tom time out of mind in preceding
elections, but now the temper of the
people has changed. The elector is
Independent and now can compre-
bend the wisdom of Lincoln, You
can fool part of the people some of
the time; you can fool all of the
people part Of the time; but you
cannot fool all the people all the
time"
Succeeding events will prove If
this comprehensive view of human
ity has sunk into its consciousness.
If elected your mayor, l would con-
slider the oath of Office more bind
ing than any promises made before
election. l believe in the enforce
ment OF the law and ordinances of
the city and looking at it as a large
corporation and treating it's manage
ment as a business proposition.
AS to myself, little can be said.
Rock Island has been my home prac-
tically all my life. and it has been
spent in boosting and conserving the
wealth of others. How well / have
performed my stewardship is for
others to say.
The only political office I have ever
held was that of treasurer of this
city
Recently, while in Galveston, Tex,
was favored with having a long
interview with its mayor, DR.. A. w.
Fly. In rejecting over that CONVEX
sation I have since thought that the
woe, sorrow and suffering of the peo-
pie of that city may have been an
act Of providence, for out of confu-
sion came order by unObtrusive bus
mess methods. That catastrophe has
been a boon to the jewellers Of that
city, out of 1t grew the law of the
government Of cities by commission.
This law eliminates the city boss,
and the good man for his ward is
out of a job.

"1t makes the city physically. So
cislly and commercially a unit
There is, too, at every moment
a dominant public sentiment on ev-
cry question pending in the COM
munity, not always unanimous, but
usually well defined and most for
tunately, usually sound morally and
right intellectually.
This does not mean that the
highest ideals are invariably recog-
nized and accepted, but that which
is decent and honest and of good re-
pute is almost always upheld"
Great masses of people can act
effectively together only along sim
pie and direct lines. When so act
ing, they quickly gain enormous mo-
mentum."
Other cities have accomplished
great results under the plan of gov
ernment which we are about to try.
In the coming primary the elector
is elevated to a new plane of respon-
sibility. His view takes in the en-
tire city, and cannot fail to increase
civic pride and self respect It
broadens his opportunity to advance
the city's best interests. He is re-
lieved from the annoyance of the
local magnate, knowing the promise
of job or any reward is unlawful.
Public sentiment aroused. can
unite and sweep all before it; di-
vided into petty currents, it is vast
ed and defeated; gathered in one
grand stream it is irresistible.
We all know that the average in
telligence of the city ought to con-
troll it, but has it done so in the
past? The day of ideals has not
passed, and it should not. The NOR
ais of the people must in the long
run be the source of strength.
The important concerns of life
are silent and unobtrusive.
The opportunity is now given the
elector to exercise his public spirit
by nominating five men whom he
thinks are fitted for the five definite
departments of the city.
Since the government of cities by
commission has proved successful in
nearly all the 20 or more cities
which have adopted 1t, 1t is now our
chief concern whom we shall elect
to the first council. 1t is of great
Importance that we start right-the
sentiment should be crystalized
among the electors, that at least
three safe men, who can work har-
moniously together for the city, in
a broad sense, be elected to the first
council.
ut is high time that the offenses
under which the public has so long
suffered, should be abated."
Vice has outweighed virtue so long
that we ought to seek to present
different picture of justice.
1t is up to the people.
To the many candidates, who, like
myself, may get left in the trial heat.
l offer the consolation a man re-
ceived who, while travelling in for

Furniture Of 2ooo A. D.
LONDON WEEK END.

What style of furniture is likely to
be popular in the ear future? Will it
be based on historical tradition or on
purely structural lines, of foreign or
native woods? Will it, in case "
supply of timber is nearly exhausted,
be of concrete, and If so, of Greek,
Roman or Egyptian design?
II the house of the future be con :
crete, is it not logical to believe that
chairs, tables and bedsteads will be Of
like material? 1t is quite possible
that the day will arrive when all the
wooden furniture in the world will
be in museums, and people will regard
it with the same curiosity and remot-
eness that we feel towards
mummy cases. But that far distant
day need not disturb us.
Modern furniture in its actual
making has made a great advance.
These improvements we're necessary
in order to meet new conditions. The
seasoning Of wood to prepare it for
steam heated houses Is n OF the
most Important. phases Of present day
furniture making. 1t Is n Of the
new demands in cabinet work well
met by the best furniture makers.

ly hold in esteem, knew nothing OF

Last Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs. |

Last Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs. l..
Lumber gave a reception in honor of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Lunder who ar
rived in this city last Monday direct
from Christiania, Norway. Paul
Lunder was married to Miss Elida
Algerheim on New Years day in the
old Aker's church, Ch%ristiania, Nor
way. Miss Algerheim Vas born and
raised in Christiania, being a member
of a respected and prominent family
of that city. She is a sweet, lovable,
and cultured, young woman, and Mr..
Lunder is indeed fortunate in win
ming this charming bride for his life's
companion. Mr.. Lunder is a bright,
industrious, young farmer, and has a
beautiful farm, all improved with
new house, barn, granary and other
buildings, where Mr.. and Mrs. Lunder
will be at home to their friends after
March 1st.

the kilns, the drying rooms and the
months of treatment which are a part
of the best modern methods of work.
The old cabinet makers prepared
their materials with every art then
known, but they did not have to
take into consideration steam or fur
mace heat. The preservation Of a
great, deal of old furniture is due
quite as much to the fact that it has
never known the dry heat of a mod
ern house as to good work.
Here is where the maker OF faithful
copies of old furniture has a power
full argument to advance in favor OF
reproductions. The latter do not
warp, fall to pieces or slowly disinte-
CRATE. 1t is not the heat SO much as
a lack of moisture that is trying for
old furniture, also for plants, gold
fish, birds and human beings.
There are radiator appliances now
on the market to suppls moisture,
and they are we'll worth Investigation.
The variety of STYLES will undoubt-
eddy be greater than today, although
several types which are now with US
will be eliminated. They are dying a
long-drawn-out death, and will be de-
Gently buried long before the century
reaches the fifty mark. Machine
pressed ornament will have dissap-
peared; glued-on carving will have
met a well-merited oblivion.
