FORMER STANDING NOT
IMPORTANT FACTOR

Had the decision for the awarding
Of the May prizes depended on the
outcome Of yesterdays counting, Mrs.
Chas. Akau and Mrs. II, S. Overend
would have received the rewards,
The first Of these candidates. although
having several thousand less votes
than the other would have secured
the first prize while Mrs. Ovorend a
hundred thousand behind, the first
leader would have got the second
prize. Mrs. Akau cast more votes
than any other and Mrs. Ovcrcnd put
IN the second largest vote.
While yesterdays count was not
the one by which the prizes are 20
be awarded II shows that former
standing is not an important factor
In the winning of one Of the mer-
camille orders.
The Eagles were the only heavy
organization voters they taking sec
ond place from the Red Men.
Judging by the totals gained al
yesterdays voting the interest in tho
contest would seem little but one
glance at the ballot box yesterday
evening filed with coupons cut from
the Bulletin and sent In from al
most every pOstoiIice in the Islands
would have changed your first OPP
inion. There must have been more

than three hundred thousand Of thd
little paper votes.
The main reason for not casting In
subscription coupons is that every
candidate wishes to see what their
nearest opponent intends to do toward
winning the mercantile orders. Many
Of the candidates were in yesterday
and took out votes but with very few
exceptions they put them away in
some receptacle and said they were
going Ia hold them for reserve.
One candidate on Hawaii Is holding
out reserve vote that would put her
in first place If they were once cast.
But she IL waiting for what she calls
"a favorable time" OF course these
votes that she has cannot be trans
rerred to any one else and some day
after count there will be surprised
contestants when new name appears
among the first leaders with tre-
mendous vote total. This candidate
Is not the only one who Is holding
a reserve vote that viii create Won
dcrment when once cast.
Making showing at the present
time, Is just az necessary as at a con-
test beginning il one wishes to Gre

votes to get one of the mercantile or

THE SEDUCTIVE MINCE PIE

NJ. Campanini, the great operate
conductor, praised mince pie at a dim
ner in Chicago.
II don't wonder" he said, that
your mince pie is indissolubly linked
with your Christmas for Christmas
is the best day of all, and mince pie
is the best dish.
But indigestable! l hear on all
sides tales about the indigestibility of
mince pie. Nevertheless l keep on
eating it, though the last tale l heard
was very narrowing, indeed.
"It was a tale about a dyspeptic
bishop who spent Christmas week
with a Chicago family. There was,
of course, mince pie for the Christmas
dinner, and at first the bishop, on ac-
count of his dyspepsia. refused to
take any; but his hostess assured him
that her mince was as digestable as
stale bread, and so he succumbed.
He succumbed. He ate a whole
mince pie. And the next morning he
was so i'll that he could not conduct
an early service for which he had
pledged himself.
THE bishop was very ill., indeed. He
groaned, and he tossed about the bed
and the family brought him hot water
| bottles, mustard plasters and all man
ner of remedies.
But nothing seemed to do an!
good, and his host, when he gave
vent to an unusually loud series o.
groans, hurried into de room anC
said somewhat sarcastically:
g" Why bishop, you are not afraiC
to die, are your
THE bishop, thinking of his minc'
pie and his missed service, answered
" No, I'm not afraid to die, bu
| I'm ashamed to"

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES.

y special type of electric locomotive
has been perfected for handling
freight on city lines ana at city ter
minals. The service to be performed
includes the collection of freight from
terminals and docks, where the grades
are both short and sharp, and the
transportation of the goods over lines
used for passenger service which cam
not be used for freight car storage.
AS this locomotive must combine
high power with speed, the motors
installed are rated to develop 225
horsepower each which is more than
is required ordinarily for switching
service. The design in general ap-
pearance is the same as the regular
switching electric locomotive with a
central cab and sloping end compart-
ments.
The main operating cab of this new
General Electric type of locomotive
is in the center of the platform, with
auxiliary end compartments and side
platforms extending out towards the
ends of the locomotive, this arrange
ment giving the operator an extended
view in all directions from his seat.
Four. motors are employed to fur
nish a traction effort of 27.500
pounds at a speed Of seven miles an

democrats will in all probability name
a man from the Wilson Harmon C Gay-
nor group. He will be a conservative
whoever he is. SO if Taft is renomi-
mated by the republicans the country
will be assured OF conservative ad-
miuistration no matter who is chosen.
The big business interests are play
ing the game "heads we win and tales
You lose"
But it is possible the thing may be
overdone. There is no certainty that
the "progressives" in the republican
party are going to stand for Taft and
Barnes. Nor is II a sure thing that the
progressive" democrats are going to
sit by in silence and see their party
used as certain interests now contem-
plate using it, In other words there
may be bolt from both parties. The
"progressives" may decide it is time
to cut loose and form a political party
that really stands Tor something. II
they do Col. Theodore Roosevelt could
and doubtless would be high mo-
gul' in that party. He might not
want to run for the presidency him
self. It would be more reasonable to
expect the "progressives" to pick La
Toilette or some other senate pro
gressive" If it got off right the new
party move would go like wild fire
for the country is sick and tired OF
the sham of the present alignment
Roosevelt could lead a big element OF
the republican party right into the
progressive camp.
If he should do this who would the
joke be on then? Would not some pol
iticians be sorry they shut the colone
out in New York?

WHERE QUILL PENS SURVIVE.

Quill pens as an official cores
pondent explains, survive in govern
ment offices as outward and visible
signs of officialism, like blue paper
and rep tape. In the courts they are
Indispensable, for who can imagine
counsel taking a note with a steel
pen or using 1t to point at a witness
or to give emphasis to an argument?
But the art Of mendlng quills Is al
most, and probably SO out of 100
readers who attempted to nib" one
after the manner of Dotheboys Hall
would succeed only in cutting their
thumbs. The use of quill pens Is by
no means confined to government Of
fices. Several well known novellsts
still stick to the quill; it is indeed the
only writing implement with any per-
sonality-if 1t is refractory you can
coax it. The mending Of a quill does
not require much practice and you
can buy for a few shillings a little
machine that does 1t for you beauti-
fully. You may easily wrie $1,000
words with one quill, mending 1t four
times, which gives six quills to the
novel.-London Chronicle.

THE PREvARICAToRs' CLUB.

In little country village, n crowd
of loafers around a store, got TO
talking about echoes, and Jim San
ders said down where he was born
and raised there was an echo and he
used to put it to a peculiar use. He
said that every night before he went
to bed he would put his head out the
window and say:
"Jim Sanders, Seven o'clock; time
to get up"
He would start that echo going and
next morning at I o'clock it would
get back and say: "Jim Sanders!
Seven O'Clock; time to get up"
Deacon Witherspoon said he didn't
know much about echoes, but he'd
seen it rain about as hard as any
body ever seen it rain, Somebody
said:
Deacon, how hard did you ever
see it rain?"
"Well sir" said the deacon, "once
upon time, when was at home, We
had an old cider barrel lying out in
the yard with both ends out and the
bung hole up and would you believe
IT, II rdlneu SO ndTu lnlo tlldt pulS
hole that water couldn't run out of
both ends fast enough and it swelled
up and busted"
We thought that was pretty good
for a deacon.
Reuben Henry said he'd never seen
it rain very hard, but ned seen some
mighty cold weather. Somebody
said: "Rube, how cold did you ever
see it get?"
He said: "Well, sir, one time when
was living down in Pickaway coun-
| ty, in hog killing time, We had kett-
tie of boiling water setting on the
stove and we took it out In the yard
and it froze so doggone quick the ice
was hot."-From Norman E. Mack S
National Monthly.

HE MAY "GET BACK"

No doubt most politicians of the
republican party will be glad that
Barnes is restored as the leader in
New York and that Roosevelt and his
friends are down and out as far as
party control is concerned. The "av-
erage politician" does not like the
Roosevelt way Of doing things. He is
glad to see the colonel snubbed. The
average politician" wants to see Taft
renominated and reelected. He be-
Iieves that the control of the party in
New York by Barnes will strengthen
the Taft chances.
But is it not possible that these
same men will later on be sorry that
Roosevelt is not in their midst? May
he not be more dangerous on the out
side than he would be were he with
in the fold? Roosevelt is strong with
the people Of the United States and
should he take a notion to do 80 he
might raise particular fits" about
the time OF the next presidential cleo
don
or course all looks well to the re-
dictionaries at this time. There are
indications that both parties will name
d conservatives for the presidency. The

ARE THEY FOR 1T NOW?

Senator Albee has taken a proper
move in reviving the matter of pass
ing a resolution endorsing the oregon
system. The Kellaher resolution was
voted down because it was deemed
too strong and was construed as an
endorsement of Bourne. Albee pro-
poses a more temperate endorsement
of the oregon plan. If the members
OF the legislature are true to their
election promises they will pass this
resolution. A majority of both hous-
es are statement No. men and at
election time declared themselves
against assemblyism. They profess
ed then to uphold the direct primary
and the initiative and referendum. If
they favored those measures then
they should favor them now. When
the Albee resolution comes up for
passage we will see how some men
stand.
