Stick To The POINT

Sheriff JarlrttS tenacious apoIogiSt of-thr
breakfast table appears little irrtatrd because
this paper called attention yesterday to the in
glorious part that the police chief played dur
ing the labor raids Of April, 1911.
Either unconscOuSly or wilfuly,-Ict us say
the former, for the sake of sensitive feelings
the morning paper entirely Overlooks the point
made by the Star Bulletin. That point is that
I the police department was disOrganized at

not help Attorney Kinney because they did not
wish to help carry out Kinney's policy for hold
ing the labOrerS here But be it remembered
once and for all that Jarrett finally went to-
Kinney and asked him what to debut that
Jarrett came too late. That fact forever dis
poses of the argument that the sheriffs failure
to act was because of any sympathy for the la
borers, or because he believed the laws weren't
fair. = ~
Whether the laws were right or weren't right,
the fact remains that on the night when several

We observe with considerable amusement that
the morning paper says "the opposition to thel
reelection of Sheriff Jarrett has dwindled down
to review of his actions in regard to the steam
er Senator episode Oh. no, good friend of the
.breakfasttable! The opposition hasn't dwin-
died down. The Star Bulletin has merely point

isn't room to deal with all of the subject on onel
page There are other episodes" to come
1t is this papers firm conviction that tile of |
flee of sheriff is the most important office in the
city and county of Honolulu, and that every good
citizen, who pays taxes forsthe protection of him
self and his family, for the preservation of or
DER. for the stamping out of vicious influences
and evil crime, is entitled to Che benefits of a
strong and well organized police department.
Why is it that citizens like Judge Sanford B.
Dole and w. A. Bowen are earnestly advocatingI
the election of Capt Robert Parker as sheriff?3
Because they have seen what is going on now in
the police department; because they are con-
WINGED that Capt Parker will be better sher-
tiff, at the head of a better department. That is
why. ~

Ordinarily the star-Bulletin declines to take
up an issue of Misrepresentation arising from
matter published in another paper but Chair
man r. w. Shingle of the Republican Territor-
ial central committee is certainly entitled to fair
play in reports of his speeches on as vital topic
as to whether or not Kuhio is opposing the con-
firnatiOA of Gov. Frear. For that reason, prom
inence is given today to Mr.. Shingles statement
concerning what the morning paper said about
him. The delegate can hardly be blamed for re-
fusing to be b1uffed into making a statement by
a paper that is fighting him with the kind of
weapons used by the morning sheet.

JOURNALISM and POLITICS

Golfers Weekly is probably the most infIu
rntial weekly paper in America, 1t wicIIS
power in national politics as great as if moi
greater than any daily paper. For some weeks
past Golfers has been pro Roosevclt and pro
Wilson, without perceptible leaning either way
Because Of it's great Influence, the announce
ment that Golfers editor has resigned and that
the paper would swing definitely to the Bull
Moose camp, is of very wide interest The an
nouncement sent out from New York is reported
in a newspaper as follows:
New York, Oct 10.-Norman Hapgood has re-
signed editor of Golfers Weekly Golfers hence
forth becomes a progressive paper and will support
Colonel Roosevelt, instead of Governor Wilson as
frmerly.
This change of political faith however, is not the
cause of Mr. Hapgood's resignation, according the
former editor Mr.. Hapgood said at his home today
that he was not inclined to give the for his
resignation unless Mr. Collier made public def

Roosevelt is an editorial announcement in Col
lier's for October &C. Norman Hapgoods name
as editor is replaced by that of Robert J. Collier,
but editorially the paper declares: Fortunate
ly, Golfers has no vote, and therefore can be
friendly to two candidates at once, and will have
fulfilled it's function in this campaign if it pre-
SCENTS the issues fairly to it's readers Golfers
undertakes only to interpret fairly the character
of the candidates and sincerity of the claims on
which they ask election, and the problems in
yOlyed as far as We can understand them"
This is good doctrine, and a policy to which
it is hard to take exception. The aim of any pa
per, daily, weekly or monthly, which deals with
politics. ought to be to present to it's readers the
issues involved, to make an attempt to interpret
fairly the character of the candidates, and to
point out something of their records in the past
Such has been the policy of the Star-Bulletin in
the present campaign, and it has carried out this
policy without the slightest personal rancor or
feeling toward any candidate of any party

JUST FOR NIGHT WORKERS

For the men and women who are
forced to turn night into day in earn

New York has made arrangements to

hotel, the sixteenth, will be operated

have their breakfasts served in the
afternoon, their luncheons in the
evening and their dinners after mid
night. No one sleeping on that floor
will be awakened until nightfall eX-

routine work of cleaning and bed
making will commence in the evening.
In arranging the SLEEPY Sixteenth"
the management of the hotel outfitted
It particularly for the night workers,
theatrical men and women, customs

WILD HORSES IN COLORADO

James and Jess Mccarthy, who are
mining a copper claim above timber
line on Mount Blanca, Colorado, re
port q herd of wild horses running
loose on the sand dunes of the I'm
comphagre range of mountains, south
west of Mount Blanca and Mosca
pass.
The McCarthys declare the hoofs OF
these horses have spread out to nc
commodate the peculiar formation of
tho grounds over which they run un-
til they have attained the circumfer-
ence of dinner plates. Many other
prospectors to the mountains have
seen the horses, and a peculiar story
is related concerning their presence
on the dunes, which are very rare
in vegetation.
1t has been told, on good author
ity, that many years ago a party of
government surveyors was sent to de-
termine the scope and character Of
these dunes, and after many months
q searching party was sent after the
men. The only trace of their pres
ence was a surveyors instrument,
which stood like a lonely sentinel in
the sands.

TRAFALGAR RELIC IS SAVED

After lying In the Hamoaze at Dev-
onshire for over a century the two
decked line-of-battleship, Implacable,
one of the trophies which Nelson won
for the British navy, has been moved
to Falmouth, where she is to be pre-
served as a national monument. The
Implacable was originally the French
battleshiD, Duguay Trouin. She was
captured by the British in the wars
of over a century ago, recaptured by
the French, and again surrendered
to the British at the battle of Traf-
algar. Renamed the Implacable, she
was for many years employed at De
vonport as a training ship for boys.
In 1908 the admiralty put her in the
sale list, but before the sale she was
withdrawn to preserve her. She has
been restored at Devonport as nearly
as possible to her original state.

is RELIC OF PAGAN TIMES
In Brittany There Exists a Huge Black
Stone Image Of a Woman That
Is Very Old.

One OF the most curious relics OF
pagauism remaining in a Christian
country is the gigantic black stone
figure of a woman which is to be seen
in a forest of the district of Morbi
han in Brittany.
1t Is known as the black Venus"
but probably dates far back Of the
time when the Creeks and Romans
worshiped that goddess. Antiquaries
assert that this figure belongs to the
age OF the serpent worshipers, one Of
whose subterranean temples is in the
neighborhood This would make the
figure far older than the Christian era
The statue is that Of a huge, un'
couth woman, with a sullen, angry
countenance, her form enveloped in
a loose mantle. The superstitious
Bretons have always worshiped the
figure, asserting that it has power
over the weather and the crops. II
the idol is neglected they declare that
the grain dies on the ear, and If the
anger Of the .black woman over Nor
bihan.
Twice the stone was cast into the
sea by pious folk, who hoped thereby
to put an end to this idolatry and
twice the peasants dragged it back and
set it up in its old place.
Some two hundred years ago Count
Pierre de Lannon, on whose estate the
figure stood, in order to save the
statue from both friends and enemies,
dragged it by forty yoke Of oxen to
his own chateau and set it up in the
courtyard. He cut an inscription on
the base Of the pedestal, declaring the
figure to be a Venus carved by Cae
sar,s snIdiars.-Harner' Weekly.

WHY THE MILK TURNS SOUR

Perhaps you have often wondered
why 1t is that if you let milk stand
for a short time, especially in warm
weather, it will turn sour and be-
come unfit to use in your tea or cof-
fee; but if it is boiled and then sealed
up in some sort of alright can or jar,
# will keep any length Of time in any
weather
Many persons believe that a thun-
derstorm will turn milk sour, and If
you ask them what the thunder
which is nothing but noise-can do to
the milk, you will find that they have
no idea, but they just know It is So
So there!
The reason that milk turns sour is
that it contains a small microbe that
makes an acid from the sugar in the
milk When the milk is boiled these
microbes are killed, and the acid is

A ROLE REPEATED

The men were old acquaintances
whom fate had driven apart for many
years. Recently Tom Bryant had been

the Adirondacks, and the latter had

never developed Warm air, and even
electricity in the air, is very favorable
to the rapid growth OF these microbes,
which are really a sort of plant, and
all plants flourish in warmth. The
acid which is made by these microbes
in the milk is called Tactic acid, and
if the milk is good and clean, 1t is
none the worse for turning sour, al
though it is not just the thing to put
in tea. For some persons sour milk
is a much more wholesome drink than
sweet milk, and is recommended by
some doctors for the cure Of certain
diseases. There is a famous Chinese
statesman who believes he will live
to be q hundred and fifty because he
drinks so much sour milk every day.
