shown by Governor Frear in the pro-
posed opening of the Waiakea lands
for home sites is anything but per-
functory, and that the chief executive
is taking an active interest in the
proposition which bodies well for the
growth of Hilo, is shown by the fol-
lowing letter which was received last
week by Senator Brown:
Executive Chamber, Honolulu,
Hawaii, August Is, 1911.
Senator John T. Brown,
Hilo, Hawaii.
My dear Senator:-I have further
letter of the 10th instant in regard to
cutting up some of the Waiakea land
for residence sites. While l have not
yet taken up this as a business mat
ter with the Waiakea Mill Company. l
have spoken to one of it's representa-
tives, and we find that we differ some
what as to the particular locality in
which the lots are desired. l had
hoped to be able to send you a man
of that region by this mail so that you
could indicate approximately what
land is desired. Perhaps, however, in
the absence of the map you can by de-
.scription or by rough sketch indi-
cate approximately the location of the
land that you have in mind.
Very truly yours,
w. F. FREAR.
Governor.
Senator Brown has forwarded the
desired information.
A Paternal Government.
Hilo Tribune: The dictum or Gov
ernor Frear to the effect that the spur
track matter may be regarded as def
initely settled, but that he is still
open to argument in favor of retaining
the armory where is now it, may turn
cut to be eminently satisfactory TO the
community. If the armory remains
where it is, the spur track will not be
required, and everything will again be
quite serene. So mote it be.
At matter of fact, it does not seem
probable that Honolulu officialdom
realizes quite how big is the interest
taken by the community in general in
the retention Of the armory Most Of
the people want to keep the buildine
where it is, because they regard it
and quite properly so, as the town hall

La FOLLETTES
AUTOB|OGRAP HY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2.-'Ml
LaFollette shows through his own
story as a modest man who has fallel
in love with a few elemental and pro
foundly important political ideas, but
who does not hate the men to whom
these ideas are hateful. He detests
the boss system and machine politics
Methods and aims, not men, are his
targets.
These are the conclusions reached
by the New York Globe (Republican)
after reading the autobiography of
Senator Robot NJ. La Toilette. The
Globe has always been regarded as a
paper which has been loyal in its sup
port of the Taft administration. The
Globe presents frank editorial dis
cussion Of its impressions of the La
Toilette autobiography 1t says:
"a few days ago The Globe fell to
wondering what Senator La Follette's
autobiography would be like. We had
{. little guessing contest in our bos-
ON. As nearly as we can remember
we made several guesses, so as to
be on the safe side We do not now
recall what they were, but they were
all wrong, anyway. The first install
ment of the LaFoHette autobiography
is not bit like anybody's guess.

AT THE MOVING
PICTURE HOUSES

It seems that the proprietors of
the moving picture houses must have
conspired against the weather man
at some time or other as he has pre-
scented them with rainy Saturdays
and Sundays for some time. 1t is
too bad that such has been the case
because of the efforts of the manag-
ers of the picture houses to give their
many patrons an unusually good show
on those evenings Both theatres
have an orchestra on Saturday and
Sunday evenings and make an eff
fort to get special films for those
performances. In spite of the wealth
er, both houses played to good bu-
siness; especially is this true of the
first two performances. 1t would
be difficult to pick the one picture
at either play house which aroused
the most enthusiasm-th entire pro-
grams at the Grand and Ideal were
unusually good. Take the Saturday
program at the Grand and it would
be hard to choose whether ''The
Death of Don Joan" or The Girl and
The Broncho Buster were the most
pleasing. The same can be said of
the Ideal. It is matter of temper
ament as to whether ''The Atone
ment' or "Old Indian Days" appeal
ed the most strongly. Sunday night
at the Ideal, ones opinion would be
| divided as to which of the two fea-
ture pictures, ''The Snake Bite" or
''The Honor of the Flag" would be
considered best. The patrons O.
the Grand would be called upon to
decide whether f'Thou Shalt Not
Lie" or "The Ranchman's Nerve
could be considered one better than
the other, and so it goes at both
places; the pictures are so good that
| it is entirely a case of sentiment re-
| garding which picture is best. Both
moving picture houses are trying to
please all classes and temperaments-
| If you like a picture with a moral in
it or if you like a picture with lots
of dramatic action or one with lots
Of comedy in it, you get what you
want and that probably accounts for
the large number of people who nigh
ly attend these popular play houses

1t is plain, straightforward piece
of narrative, without frills. That was
to be expected. But it is also a geu-
ial document. That was expected. Mr..
La Toilette shows throughout his OWL
story as a modest man who has fall
len in love with a few elemental and
profoundly important political ideas,
but who does not hate the men to
whom these ideas are hateful. Take
his remarks about Boss Keyes as
an example, Keyes was a real boss
in his day. Once upon a time he
ran the State of Wisconsin. But La
Toilette does not detest or reyile or
maledict the memory of Keyes. He
detests the boss system and machine
politics. Methods and aims, not men,
are his targets.
This first installment of the autobi-
ography is an extraordinary record
of hard work La Toilette had to
get through the University of Wiscon
sin mostly by his own efforts He
had also some female relatives to
support. This fact he tells his read
ers without boasting and without
shame. His business was to tell
the truth about an American coun-
try boy, and he does this business
without squeamishness.
THE autobiography is also here
ana there little sentimental We
sometimes wonder whether the propo
ton of somewhat sentimental per
sons among our best vote etters is
not higher than is generally supposed
1t would be interesting to hear from
our readers that they do or do not
like the La Toilette brand of senti
ment. 1t strikes us as altogethe1
genuine
