Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
WAILUKU, Maui, Nov. 2S.-Scout
Commissioner James A. Wilder, with
Charles Norton, accompanied by thir-
teen Boy Scouts of Honolulu, came
from Lahaina to Wailuku this morn
ing. arriving here about half past
nine. The big lao stables truck
brought the party with its equipment
over from OloWalu, where they camp
ed last night in the sugar house of the
Olowalu Mill In few minutes their
camp was pitched in front of the Wal
lukp court house, and the boys were
at home in the town.. They cooked
their own dinner in real camp style.
This cost each Scout the big sum of
eight cents This afternoon three
automobiles conveyed the whole party
to the Waihee beach house of the
Wailuku Sugar company Here all
had a delightful swim, returning to
Wailuku in time for the exhibition at
a o'clock. Quite crowd of towns

The lawn had large number of
boys who sat as naer the Scouts from
Honolulu as they could. For an hour
the Scouts went through various scout
drills in which all the spectators were

was the largest the Scouts have ever
had, and they did good work in their
drills, so that the Maui people were

boy asked If he might be q Scout, and
this recruit will doubtless mean that
others will follow. BY half past five
O'Clock all the Scouts were at Puurene
clubhouse. They laid their blankets
on the floor of the veranda, where
they are to camp for the night To-
morrow, probably in the afternoon
they give an exhibition in the Put
meme grounds. 1t is expected that
now their appearance on Maui has
been somewhat advertised that there
will be good turnout tomorrow.
Surely, Commander Wilder is just the
man on the islands to push the Scout
Movement hard and successfully.

THE FRUITS OF DECEPTION.

Mill owners at Hoquiam, Aberdeen

ington. now announce they want no
more foreign labor and that hence
forth only Americans need apply.
They are willing TO pay higher wages
in order to secure native born work
men.
The announcement means hat great
employers of labor have reaped I'M
expected results from the importation
o. cheap labor from the downtrodden
parts of Europe. For years the
masters of industry have engaged in
the importation of cheap labor while at
the same time urging the continu-
ance Of a high tariff policy on the
hypocritical pretense of protecting
American workingmen.
But while cheap at first imported
labor is now proving expensive. The
mill owners have found their work
ers are not as submissive as they
seemed. Having been here a short
time they show the same resentment
towards our government they mani

GET A TO VOTE.

One thousand qualified voters in
Umatilla county have not yet regis
tered for the primary election and
there are but six days left for regis
tering. Furthermore the contest on
the 18th of this month will in many
respects be the most important cleo
ton Oregon has had in years. 1t is
presidential year and unusually inn
portant issues are at stake. The
fight is in reality being fought out
ar this time. The fight for nomina-
tions will be the real battle for the
presidency this year. If you have po-
litical convictions register now and
get ready to vote at the primary.

a time like this.

Tested towards the despotic govern

capped. And when they strike, the
foreigners are more unreasonable
than native workers. They lack tho
ideals of the American born, the self
restraint and the feeling of being
part of the government so character
istic of citizenship in a republic. They
listen eagerly to the 1. w. w. orator
and are ready to trample the stars
and stripes in the dust and follow
the red flag of anarchy.
1t is a deplorable state of affairs
that now besets many coast towns

while s~upplanting the native worker

a deceptive game n one destined to
bring forth bitter results in time.
The worst trouble is that the present

VOTES FOR WON EN-

Women have the intelligence. the
perseverance and the honesty of pur-
pose to assist in the uplifting of the
state. They have a strength which
should not be cast aside in the strug-
gle for better things. They are the
complement of men and in the pur-
est sense their ~co-workers.
The reasons why women should vote
are the same as the reasons why men
should vote, the same as the reasons
for having a republic rather than a
monarchy. To vote is simply to ex-
press ones opinion. A ballot is the
instrument used. Speaking generally,
the only real qualification. governing
its use is intelligence, for without in
telligence ones opinion on any sub
ject is worthless. Equal suffrage
would increase the proportion of ed
ucated voters. The high schools of
every state in the union are gradual
ing more girls than boys-often twice
or three times as many.
There are thousands of teachers, of
whom 85 per cent are women. The
teaching of civics is obligatory. 1t is
fair to expect a woman, without that
last sign of civic responsibility, the
ballot, to possess such comprehending
and practical knowledge of public. af-
fairs and machinery as would make
her an inspiring teacher Of civics for
boys who already feel their import
ance as future voters and officehold-
ers? Is she in a dignified position
to do so? How can she teach the
great truths of democracy-that it de-
rives its authority from the eternal
rights of nature; that a nation includes
all its social elements and forces;
that a true national representation,
therefore, must include all these; that
if one of these forces is neglected, the
desire Of this neglected force to be

In Wisconsin yesterday the people
voted strongly for La Toilette and
Woodrow Wilson as the respective
candidates for president and the So
cialist mayor of Milwaukee was de-
feated for reelection. 1t appears
from the results that the people Of
Wisconsin are progressive but not i'm
practical. They want political con-
ditions that will bring about an
equitable distribution of the fruits Of
industry but they do not want to
flick the fruit while it is green. 1t
