The secret of soap-boX oratory is
saying little in a whole lot OF words.
exercising great care not to commit
ones self TO anything either more radi-
cal or more conservative than the
statement of such a plain fact as 1T
rains occasionally in Manoa" or there
is red dirt in Kaimuki."
The highly interesting fact, however.
that two and two makes four, was+put
up by political word-smith, who was
anxious to impress his friends and
fellow citizens in the crowd that sur
rounded him, his powers as an orator.
CT the soap-box Saturday afternoon in
a statement something like this:-

man events it becometh necessary TO
compel two integers, commonly known
as two and two, to coalesce; when. !
reiterate, such combination OF mag.
nitudes becometh necessary, l declare
and defy contradiction; the sum of two
quantities is four - -.. III.

POLITICS HAS NOT
DISTURBED BUSINESS

A circular of the Fourth National
Bank of the city of New York, dated
October l. says:
Politics has not been an important
factor in business affairs this year
but there is likely to be a material
expansion in general trade as soon
as the elections are held. This, is be-
cause a great number of enterprises
are usually held up pending the out.
come of a presidential contest, or un-
til it is known how the next congress
will stand. 1t seems fair to assume
that the campaign will end without
any unfavorable developments to I'M
settle business affairs, and that the
present struggle will pass into history
as, being one of the most interesting
that the country has seen and at the
same time one which has really Of
fered the least possible disturbance
to general trade. A notable feature
of the present situation is the contin-
ued prosperity of retail trade and the
very satisfactory volumn of business
which is being done bv department
stores in most of the important cities
in the United States"

THE ABSENT.M1NDED VOTER.

"a long way after Kipling)
When you've finished Hail Columbia
When you've sung Aloha De,
When you've killed the Grand Old
Party with your mouth,
Will you kindly give attention to lit
tie solid think
That is coming to you ere this year is
out?
You've gulped lot of hot air
From the soapbox and that ilk
That is nothing more than buncombe
meant faZe.
If you let spellbinders josh you and
lead you by the nose
You will live to rue it in the coming
days.
Now then, sane men, what are you
going to do?
To be led by the nose till the ballots
close
Is a thing you'll live to rue.
You've got to think of the wife and
kids
And the taxes you must tote,
So don't put your mark for Demo-
When you vote, vote, vote.
When you've listened to their bun
combe,
When you've swallowed all the rot,
When you've got your fill of shouting
and of noise,
Just consider where they're leading
And then you'll plainly see
They are treating you just like a lot
of toys.
When they shout down men with
money,
With brains and common sense,
And try to put rib-thumpers in their
place,
Cant you see, Hawaiian voters,
If you give them your support,
It's sad and solemn music you must
face?
Now then, workingmen. what are yor
going to do?
You're led by the nose till the ballots
close,
You'll be downed and you'll know it,
too.
So think for yourselves and your in
terests
Before your name is wrote
For a Democrat on Tuesday next
When you vote, vote, vote.

Territory of Hawaii, as he was born
on Maui.
His business experience of twenty
two years with the firm of f. o. Hall

business and has wrostled with the

questions of that firm attendant on
its big fire and the rebuilding Of the
up-to-date store on the corner of Fort

He has a keen and hearty interest
in the welfare of the Territory of Ha-
