KOHALA PREACHER INDIGNANT
OVER THE SALE OF BAD FOOD

a dealer sells short-weight hams and
bacon, he is a bloodsucker, robbing
the workingman of the precious
strength with which he earns food
for his family.
l believe it would be a pleasing
thing to God Almighty if you and l
offer prayer that, if such things are
true as our sworn official declares
they are, the soulless leeches who
are responsible for it may be sent to
the penitentiary where they belong,
no matter how high their position in
society.
And if we make such prayer, we
need to put the force of our store
patronage and every ounce of influ-
ence we have behind it, to shame and
castigate the rascals out of their dew
ilish preying on human health and
life.

Extract from sermon preached
in Union church, Kohala August 27)
Judging from the report of Food
Commissioner Blanchard, no preach
ing is more needed right here in Ko-
hala than scathing denunciation Of
selling our laborers or any human be-
ings half-rotten, poisonous canned
goods. If he is right in assuming that
Honolulu firms are shipping spoiled
goods here because they could not
pass inspection there but could be
showed off on country people, those
firms deserve to be blistered and
fayed alive, and held to the scorn Of
good people.
When a plantation laborer or any
one else pays for food and gets such
garbage as Commissioner Blanchard
describes, it is worse than asking for
bread and getting a stone, And when

Sousa has composed a new march,
and it will occupy a prominent place
in the program he has prepared for
his concert here September 10 at the
Bijou theater. For the first time in
his career Sousa allowed another per-
son to select the title of his new COM
position, and it came about in a pc.
culiar way The march was written
to commemorate his first visit to Aus
tralia and it is dedicated to that Com
monwealth. 1t had been Sousa's idea
to call it The Land of the Golden
Fleece but when he played it in
London to Sir George Reid the latter,
who is the high commissioner for
Australia, suggested that the title
be changed to THE Federal
Sousa deferred to his wish, and it is
under that name that the march will
be played on his tour of the Pacific
coast and the Southwest Seats go
on sale at the Bergrom Music Com
pany Saturday morning, September 8,

THE THEATERS

The usual matinee will be held this
afternoon at the Biiou Theater, when
a program of vaudeville will be sub
mitted, The show will be an excellent
one, and will include comedy, singing,
snarp-shooting and wonderful cycling
feats. A point that is often over
looked is the excellence Of the music
dispensed by the Bilou orchestra. The
musicians deserve lot of credit for
the excellence of their playing, and
they are an example that could be fol-
lowed to advantage.
The show will start at half-past two.
There will be excellent programs at
the Empire and the Bijou tonight.
The Savoy will see the usual Saturday
evening oIening, A program of pic
lures and vaudeville will be submitted.
The Orpheum will have the hypnotic
entertainment. Barnett and Ayesha
now have a better show than ever, as
there is no lack of subjects.

WEALTH AND SORROW.

Curtain Fails on . Tragedy n Pa-
thetic as Any In Fietion.
From New York Mail.
With the recent departure from New
York OF a certain aged man and his wife
on a ship bound for Germany the cur
tain falls on little tragedy about as
pathetic as any to be found in fiction.
The story can be told without naming
persons 6r places. The man possesses a
large fortune, and until a few months
ago he was prominent banker. honored
and trusted by everybody, in a leading
city of the United States
When official investigation disclosed
wholesale bribery and other forms of
corruption in the city government this
old man. overwhelmed either with re-
morse or with fear Of a prison sentence,
appeared in court. confessed himself gull
ty OF completely in sordid crimes OF bribe
giving, and was fined 500. But that was
the smallest Of the penalties that fell
upon him.
He realized that his reputation was
gone. that the community no longer re-
spected him and that mere wealth was
not recognized as an atonement for
crimes committed by it's possessor. And
so. with the winter of age upon him,
this fornlorn man has gone back with
his faithful wife and his money to spend
his last days in Seclusion in the father
land whence he came, a poor boy, nearly
half a century ago.

BATTLE SHIPS OF COMMERCE.

Mr.. Consumer Says Their Victories
Always Are At His Expense.
Ffm New York World
Paul Morton was once Secretary OF
the Navy for few months, so it is per-
fectly natural that he should drop into
naval terms and speak admiringly of the
trusts as battle ships OF commerce The
three particular Dreadnoughts that arouse
his highest enthusiasm are the steel
trust. the Standard Oil trust, and the
tobacco trust. When he thinks Of the
fiagships of Admirals Morgan, Rockefeller.
and Ryan he has patriotic thrills and
wishes that the United States had more
like them. just as he used to urge when
he was In Washington the building of
more big armOr-clads.
Mr.. Morton's pride and pleasure in ST.
000 100000 trusts might be shared more
generally if only they were not such ex-
pensive luxuries. The people pay for his
battle ships of commerce as they do for
the battle ships of war. They are taxed
every day Of their lives to keep them
afioat and sometimes in moments of
humble mediation the obscure taxpayer
wonders whether it is worth while.
1t is glorious thing to dwell upon
the conquest Of Asia's trade by a Rookie
feller battle ship and the capture of rail-
road contracts in Africa from European
rivals by Morgan trust. but the plain
American consumer who cannot rise to
Mr.. Morgan's emotional heights, occa-
sfonally presumes to regret that "in the
war OF the nation for commercial su-
premacy" the victories won by the trusts
navy should always be gained at his per-
sonal expense

move on his part is not actuated by any

HUMAN NATURE IN WASHINGTON
By FRED, C. KELLY.

Any man who objects seriously to tip
ping walters would do well to obtain a
seat in the United States Senate, and
| then arrange to get on the Rules Com
mittee. This Rules Committee. composed
OF Senators Crane, Aldrich, War
rem. Carter, Bacon, Bailey, and Clarke,
has charge OF the restaurant in the Sem
ate wing Of the Capitol, and one OF the
provisions they have laid down and had
printed on the menus Is that no waiter
shall accept tips.
The anti-tipping rule may be violated
once in a long while by some other Sem
ator. but never by anybody on the Rules
Committee. There'd be no sense in them
going around violating orders that they'd
laid down themselves, would there? Well,
then. 1t is doubtful if any one In the
known world has been immersed in an
immunity Tipping bath more sue
cessfully than the members of this COM
mittee.
Over in the House wing it's all differ
ent- There, the walters get only S a
week. instead of $50 a month, as the
ones in the Senate restaurant do, and the
difference has to be made up in tips.
Just what the game of the Representa-
tives is. in not paying the walters lit
tie more money out of the government
funds. and having a cute little anti-tip-
ping order printed in neat type on the
menus. is not apparent. Representative
Tawney thinks it's all wrOng-allowing
tips in the House restaurant. He feels
that Representative is just as good as
a Senator in a free country like this. and
that II a lot of Senators arc going to be
allowed to go i'm every noon and eat a
lot of food without giving the waiter so
much as a jitney to put in the kids bank
at home. why. then, a Representative
ought to have a like privilege. Each year
he has planned to start fuss with the
committee having the matter in charge,
but one thing and another has pre-
vented him getting around to 1t, and the
House restaurant walters continue to
bring back ones change in coins OF as
sorted sizes so that customers may
take the tip that tip is expected.
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley has been a
subscriber for some time to a clipping
bureau that sends in whatever has ap-
peared about one in the papers. He
has done this. not to satisfy any per-
sonaI vanity about seeing his name in
print, but because he desired to know
what attitude the public press takes
from time to time on his efforts for
pure food in this country
rev days ago wiley received a let
ter from the clipping bureau to the ef-
feet that until further notice they
would be obliged to charge him just
double what they had been asking him
for furnishing him with all the clip
pings about himself. Their reason was
that the things about Wiley in the pa
pers have suddenly become about eight
times as numerous. and the bureau has
had to increase it's office force on his
account.

Woodrow Wilson on Oregon Plan.

While the two political parties in Con-
gress are engaged in the role of putting
each other in the hole" with varying de-
grees Of success, it is reassuring to find
a leader of more than State prominence,
Woodrow Wilson, speaking out on the
really great issue before the country to-
day. He says:
Il believe the Oregon system of popu-
lar government laws has wrought a funda-
mental reform of previous corruption and
has brought to the people of that State
truly representative government in the
place of f1agrantly misrepresentation gov
ernment l believe the system which has
been evolved there contains the essentials
Of a body OF laws and constitutional
amendments which the people of other
States should study carefully with a view
to procuring for themselves the manifest
benefits which have been derived for the
people of that State
New Jersey needs such a system Of gov
ernment. Every State in the Union needs
it. The people demand it And there is a
pronounced and growing tendency toward
it.
Illinois would not be humiliated and its
name besmirched by the current proceed
ing in the United States Senate il It had
had such laws as those from which Ore
gon has derived the manifest benefits" of
which Gov. Wilson speaks.
If the late campaign. so free from par
tisan significance, and in which party lines
were ruthiessly broken, made one thing
clear it is that the country is insistent
upon popular governments government,
representative Of and responsive to the
peoples will. Oregon pointed the way.

Parties In the Senate.

The present Senate consists of ninety
two Senators. of whom sixty are classed
as Republicans and thirty-two as Demo-
Gratis. The terms of twenty-four Re-
publicans and six Democrats expire with
this Congress. leaving thirty Repub-
Icans and twenty-six Democrats holding
over. The number of Republicans is now
reduced by one in the death of Senator
Elkins. of West Virginia, and as this
vacancy will be filed by a Democratic
legislature. the Senators holding over
may be counted as thirty-five Republic
cans and twenty-seven Democrats.
The thirty Senators to be elected for
a new term, to serve until 1917, in place
Of the twenty four Republicans and six
Democrats retiring, will probably be just
evenly divided between the two parties.
Fifteen are to be elected by legislatures
having a Republican majority, and If
teen by Democratic legislatures. There
are one or two States upon each side
where party divisions, or an uncertain
majority, may cause delay and possibly
compel compromise. but 1t is safe to as
sumo that the party outcome will corre-
spond with the result of the State elec-
tions.

er. may serve to point more than one
moral connected with questions of bank

that Robin borrowed from the Washing

away in the banks safe without having

venient arrangement for the purpose Of

The Opposition to Peary.

The House Naval Committee, or. more
properly speaking Representative Macon.
of Arkansas. member of that commit
tee, is trying to discover whether Robert
IL. Peary discovered the north pole. The
fbelated recognition Of that explorer by
his own government is one Of the pic
trrresoue idiosyncrasies Of a grateful and
had gone forth 10 hattie and heaped I'D
the dead and the destroyed property and
ingulted his country in the expense of con-
quest, he would have had the vaIua bic
personal Endorsement of Mr.. Macon to go
with the decorations and titles and
tributes which have been more promptly
and less begrudginSiy given by scientific
societies. But Robert Z. Peary, who is
trained in a useful profession which
earned him a commission in the regular
navy. has. quite aside from his calling as
a civil engineer. engaged in polar expiora-
tion for a fourth of a century, and if he
did nothing else than break records by a
series of farthest north penetrations, and
had never attained the goal of his arctic
endeavors. he would still be entitled to
public respect and Congressional reward.
Representative Macon has persistent
1y refused to grant to Mr.. Peary any
form Of recognition Of splendid achieve
.ment IN which every American should
take pride. 1t is evident from the hearing
which has been held before the House
Of Lo
1dr. Macon is determined to convince
iPeary that he never reached the pole.
The Arkansas Congressman, il is an
tnounced. has prepared a long list OF oues-
rtions for cross-examfnation, placing Pearv
on the defensive. as II he were a culprft
before a court, and as il. in the interest
OF Justice and for the protection Of the

him AZ an fmpostor. It is dfficult to
