Honolulu have been given sound licking by the

A thorough defeat leaves behind it not one

Was not defeat brought about by one faction,
by one mistake, by one slip, or by one fault II
was not Democratic victory won by single

Grand jury failed to find q true bill against the

The grand jurys action was correct, in view
Of the fact that all the evidence against the ac-

Of companions IN the debauch who could not re-

But Reynolds is dead. Reynolds was muir

ONE RESULT or CUTTING Up THE land

Will Hawaii really profit by cutting up all
the cattle ranges into small holdings?
This question is very much to the loint just
now. During the visit of Secretary Fisher. the
expression was frequently used by himself and
others ''break up the big holdings into small
holdings" And many hours of his investigation
were spent in the discussion of how to handle
the economic problems in Hawaii to get the most
people "ont0 the land"
How about our big cattle ranches? Will il
profit the people of Hawaii II the cattle ranges
are swept out of existence and the territory left
without grazing country?
The mainland is already facing the results OF

pense Of the vast cattle country OF the west and
south. Now, in q communication to this paper

SUNDAY MANNERS OF CROWS
Sets That Day Apart for General Phi"
iage and rauding and G'oats
Over Helpless Victims.

Did you ever hear how the Scotch
crow observes the Sabbath? 1t is no
thing to hear elderly peo-
pie born in Scotland say 'he is as wise
as Scotch crow" To the uninitiated
this would not imply very great de-
gree of wisdom, for the crow Is not
generally given credit for being a Sol
ONION in his day and generation. That
is, an American crow is not, bat his
Scotch brother may have superior
intellect At any rate, old Scotch
people think so, for to them this CO.
servance of Sunday is an evidence o.
great sagacity. Unfortunately, low
ever, a crows idea of the sanctity OF
the day does not agree with that Of
his human foe He remorselessly sets
that day apart as a season for pillage
and general marauding, and boldly
gloats over his helpless victims. Du-
ring the week he discreetly keeps
within the shelter of the woods, but
on Sunday morning when he hears the
church bells ringing and observes the
deserted condition of the fields, he
knows that his time has come and he
unceremoniously pre-empts these
fields for himself, and wantonly feasts
and forages in the few hours that are
his, for he we'll understands that an.
other week Of fasting is at hand. Such
being the Scotch crows reputation he
