lincoln's Response to His Brothers
Request For Loan.
Abraham Lincoln's good sense Is
witnessed by almost every act OF his
life. His sound views on indiscrimi-
nate charity and the best means OF
encouraging thrift and industry are
shown by the following letter to one
Of his brothers:
'Dear ohnson.-YOur request for

with now. At the various times
when l have helped you little you

time l find you In the same difficulty
again. Now, this can only happen by
some defect In your conduct-what
that defect is l think know; you are
not lazy, and still you are an idler.

ing to eliminate the controversy from
the territorial campaign and the ter
ritorfal platform.
The delegate reached Honolulu this
morning by the Mauna Kea. coming
from Hawaii where he went to attend
the Smart-P Parker wedding last week.
He went I'd his home at Waikiki
shortly after arrival, and the Star
Bulletin was ahable to reach him up
to this Afternoon for confirmation or
denial of the report. -
1t is said that the delegate was
misrepresented In an interview pur-
porting to come from him the morn

now as sayifg that he win stay In
the Republic4 party and will not in.

This report was heard today by
the business mems committee which
is canyassing the political situation.
The committee held long session
this morning, but its work is not con-
cluded, and another session will be
held next Tuesday.
While none of the committee will
forecast what influence the delegates
attitude, If it is now correctly inter
preted, will have on it's report, sew
eral seem. to think such an attitude
would clear up the situation. The
possibility of an endorsement of Ku,
hio was mentioned by q Star-Bulletin
representative to members of the
committee, but without eliciting any
definite statement as to whether an
endorsement is or is not probable.
The committee Is considering scores
of men for Office. It was stated with
cut reservation today that the, COM
mittee Is not framing a ticket" and
that it wishes to report upon as many
good men as possible in order to give
the voters plenty or choice between
worthy candidates. -5.z -. -.
One of the vague reports concern
ing Cupid's activities was disprovedI
this morning with the arrival of the
Kea. Stories have been afloat
that Kuhfo would make q months
now on Hawaii and Maui
and that on Hawaii he has been max.
ing many speeches. This is disproVed
and it is stated that he did not attend
The Kailua meeting week ago at
which he was reported to be a guest.

Say Won't Spend Money This
Fall Unless an Anti-Liquor
Movement Starts

The liquor interests of Hawaii do
not expect to take any part in the
coming territorial campaign unless
there IS a movement on foot to change
the present laws.
In other words, the liquor men want
the laws left alone, and If they have
assurances that the next legislature
will make no attempt to amend the
statutes relating to liquor, the saloon.
men, as such, will not be active in
the campaign.
The above is the statement of the
liquor interests attitude made to the
Star-Bulletin by one of the men who
is on the inside of things insiders"
in the liquor business of the territory
and one who is active in politics as
we'll. He declares that the importers,
wholesalers and retailers, while they
may be individually busy in politics as
citizens, will not spend money in the
campaign unless they see an effort to
start legislation hostile to their in
terests.
IF any money is spent, the liquor
men will not start it." was the state
ment of this man. I'VE are satisfied
with the present laws, and see the

himself playing for fall, and although
he may be playing in with both sides,
we boys understand that the business
men are not with Murray and Kruger
this year. Don't worry. Kruger can
not carry our precinct. 1t will stay
with the business men and the regular
forces. We have no SYM

If it should come to a fight each man

night, when its binding rays are

SEWER SYSTEM

Owing to the fact. that the Territorial
goveEnment has. presumably through
inadyertence. sold q portion OF the
Hilo sewer system, the county and the
health officials find themselves up
against q very unique situation Just at
present, says the Hilo Tribune. Fur
thermore, much perplexed Japanese
merchant finds himself Gin possession.
OF section of sever Which he does
not in the least want, and which he
Is trying to get rid OF, >
A year or two ago. the Territory sold
to Hata, the well-known Japanese
merchant, the lot opposite the Mooheau
Park, at the north end Of the block A
narrow section Of this lot was part OF
q rough thoroughfare. picturesquely
named Nippon alley, under the soil of
which ran section Of the SmithVille
sewer system, which is. about the most
oyerworked sewer in Hilo.
Sight was apparently lost of the fact.
that the sewer was under the alley,
which went into Hata,s possession with
the rest of the lot But the sewer was
left in place until the other day, when
Hata had deep excavations made In.
order to make room for the cellar for
the big concrete building which he In
tends erecting on the lot Then the
excavators ran into the sewer. It runs
right where the cellar is to be. Hata
doesn't want a sewer In his cellar, so
he told various officials to take It away.
If they did not take 1t away, 1t seems,
he may have a right to do so, as It Is,
his sewer, It having pass
ed into his possession with the rest of
the lot.
