The Garden Island. [volume] (Lihue, Kauai, H.T.) 1902-current, 1912-02-27

That Kauai can do things for
the amusement of her own people
was clearly demonstrated | a
Thursday when one of the most
successful floral parades ever pull
ed off in the Territory was held,
owners from all parts of the island
participating. Hon. r. p nd
Mrs. Spalding were the originators
of the idea, consequently the pa
rade was given at their beautiful
valley house, where participants
and spectators thronged to witness
the occasion. Not the least pleas
ing feature of the affair was the
fact that all entries were by the
ladies, each o. whom had, entirely
unassisted, decorated her own car
Those entering, together with a
brief description of the decorations
were;
Mrs. Arthur Rice with her little
Hupmobile literally buried in a
profusion of beautiful African dali
sizes, received first prize.
Mrs. B. D. Baldwin, with dainty
Cherry blossom decorations, carry
ing out to the very last detail, the
Japanese finest artistic touch, was
winner of second prize.
Mrs. w. H. Rice Sr., winner of
third prize, carried pink rosebud
decorations, which were tastily ar
ranged, in the midst of which ap-
peared a bride. A reproduction of
her big Locomobile was carried out
even to a miniature driver who oc-
cupied the seat, all fitted out in
gauntlets and leather coat. The
completeness of detail in arranging
the decorations, was the motive for
much praise of Mrs. Rice's efforts
and originality.
Mrs. DR.. Putman's car appeared
in a gorgeous Christmas array -,
depicting Old St. Nick in all his
glory, and was the source of merri-
ment and praise.
Mrs. Philip Rice's car with red
gauze and white flower decorations,
lent touch of extreme delicacy to
the affair which elected the admi-
ration of everybody. A large but
terhy gracefully at ease among the
flowers, added much to the natural
ness of the scheme.
Mrs. J. H, Coney's car W S
bedecked in red, green and white
garlands which, together with their
artistic arrangements, produced a
most pleasing effect,
Mrs. Purvis decorated her car in
Lavender and white. The scheme
was carried out to the last detail
and was productive of much praise
Mrs. Ralph Wilcox had the dis
tinction of having the choicest of
all natural flowers in the parade,
her car appearing a perfect bower
of English daisies, violets a IL d
maiden hair fern. The car was in
deed a beauty and a close candidate
for a prize.
Mrs. Gaylord P. Wilcox h a d
h er car smothered in Shasta
daisies and generous supply of
pink, silk cushions, all which SEEM
ed to invite one in for a peaceful
Joy ride. The effect was most
pleasing and indicative of much
planning on the part Of the origina-
tor.

IN MEMORY OF
GEO. H. DOLE
LATE KAUA|N
Was First Manager Of The
Makee Sugar Company
In Kapaa.
FATHER OF THIRTEEN
Filled Positions of Trust And
Led An Exemplary Life
dies at 20.

The unexpected news of the
death of George H. Dole, of River
side, California, on the 18th of
February, received in Lihue on
the 10Th, was painful shock to
his numerous friends and relatives
here. He died very suddenly at
his home in Riverside, death being
due to heart failure.
Mr.. Dole was the elder son of
Rev. and Mrs. Daniel Dole, re
sidents of the state of Maine before
they came out to the Islands in
1S41 as missionaries, and was
born the 9th day of June, 1912,
seventy years ago, at Punahou
College, near Honolulu, where his
father was the first president.
He grew to manhood here on
Kauai, at Koloa, to which village
his father moved from Punahou in
1854, and he has many friends
who remember the up right, whole
Xuled, enterprising young man
Chat he was. He was, always gen.
e, sus,' friendly, sympathetic and
ready to do any act of humanity
or benevolence.
In August, 1867, he was united
in marriage to Miss Clara M.
Rowell--a daughter of the Rev.
G. B. Rowell of Waimea, Kauai,
and this union proved a most
happy one. Mr. Dole is still we'll
remembered by many who once
resided in Koloa, where he was
for several years connected with
the Koloa Plantation Company in
the capacity of head luna. In 1872
he moved to Honolulu again,
where he was called to take the
principalship of the Honolulu In
dustrial School, over which he
presided with marked success for
four years.
In 1876 he became connected
with the editorial staff of t h e
Hawaiian Gazette Company, where
he remained two years, leaving in
1878 to accept the appointment as
manager of the Makee Sugar Com
pany' Plantation at Kapaa, Kauai,
whittier he brought his family of
seven children and remained at
the head of its affairs from the
time it was first organized by Cap
tain Makee up through its firm es-
tablishment as a dividend paying
plantation, for eleven years to
1889. In 1887 he served with Gre
dit a term as noble in the upper
house of the legislature of the
kingdom, representing Kauai.
In the year 1889, however, his
last year on the plantation, after
sending his two oldest sons to
college at Cornell University in
New York State, and by that
time realizing that it would be
very difficult to give all his chill
dren, now increased in number
to twelve, the education which he
desired for them, he gave up his
plantation interests and moved to
Southern California, where he es-
tablished himself as an orange
grower in the city of Riverside,
and later conducted a real estate
and insurance business. One more
son was born here.
Mrs. Dole and their thirteen chill
dren, ten sons and three daugh-
ters, with FIVE grandsons and three
granddaughters, survive him, and
.coIduved on page g.

A Word to The Boys.

Say, my young friend, don't you
think you are worrying too much over
what would become of the old town
should you happen to have to leave it?
asks a Kansas editor. l wish you
would become %reconciled to the fact
that it would manage to survive that
dire calamity. The sun would rise In
the east and set In the west just the
same; the trains would get In on about
the same old schedule; the stores and
banks would open for business just
the same each morning; and I even
imagine that the appetite of the aver
age citizen would remain about
normal.
Don't get the idea into your head,
either, that society would go into
bankruptcy or that many of the girls
would mar their beauty by letting hot
tears course down their cheeks. No,
indeed. Everything would 60 on just
the came. Even the girls who you
now seem to think are 80 wrapped ur
in you would be down town ere the
train on which you were departing
was out OF the city limits. Ter
minutes later they would be having
good time with other fellows.
Like the rest of US, you are small,
potatoes and few in the hill. Yor
don't cut half the ice you think yol
do. When you get the idea into your
head that you stack up about like tn
rest of the boys around town you viii
hit the hullseye. I know 1t will b.
quite q tumble from your present dizz.
height, but you will rest better whel
you get used to the ground. Try 1t.

What the ColIeqe Man Will Like

Sofa pillows are gifts that always
touch the heart Of the college man,
but these same cushions must be of
the right kind to make a hit with his
majesty. The ideal pillow, If intended
to take any wear at all should be fill
ed with feathers, not with cotton
waste. Somebody may have to spend
the night sleeping on that pillow. 1t
should be of material that will neither
fray nor fade. Soft velveteen, leather
and a heavy silk in plain colors are
ideal. If it bears any embroidery let
1t be we'll toward the edges or in the
corners. Use no tinsel-tinsel scratches.
If cords are used 1t must be seen that
they are sewed-nay, riveted on-in
the strongest possible fashion. There
after will the giver be in receipt OF
many blessings.

WOULD HELP

President Taft's suggestion that the
several states and the nation authorize
land credit Institutions to enable farm
ers to borrow working capital at lower
and more uniform rates has not
evoked q single really hostile CON-
ment. 1t seems to be welcomed by all
GLASSES of citizens, says the Inter
Ocean.
There are probably two reasons for
this friendly attitude. All urban
dwellers are anxious to see reduced
the ''cost of living" which is mainly
the cost of food. Here is q practic able
plan for reducing it by reducing the
farmers fixed charges, thus enabling
him to sell his products cheaper and
still make q fair profit.
Again, while higher food prices have
benefited the farmer and burdened the
city dweller, especially of the profess
sions and the clerical occupations,
there is little disposition to blame the
farmer or to accuse him of taking un-
fair advantage of his position. Every
man who thinks at all, realizes that
prosperity on the farm extends, In the
long run, to everybody.
What is really needed to relieve the
stu alton for urban dwellers is not
that the farmer shall prosper less, but
somewhat differently-that be shall
have the advantage of really modern
facilities of credit, and 90 be enabled
to reduce his cost Of production, and
80 make food prices lower and the
cost of living less.
Other countries have shown how the
farmer can be helped by giving him
easier access at lower and more uni
form rates to the money markets. The
subject has not received the attention
it should from American Legislators.
Our banking laws have considered the
short time credit needs of merchants
rather than the long time credit needs
of farmers.
President Taft has usefully directed
attention to this neglect. There are
many signs that the subject will re
ceive better attention from Legislators
All wish to help the farmer, fol
helping him in the end helps every
body,

ELECTED BY PLURALiTiES.

The figures bearing on the presi-
Dental election of the past are of
curious interest in connection with the
election of 1912, and there are both in.
teresting parallels and instructive
contrasts in the history of the con
tests OF the days since Washington.
Prior to 1924 there was no such thing
as a popular vote, the legislatures OF
the several states having before that
time named the electors. With the
campaign of 1924, however, which re-
suited in the election of the younger
Adams, the people at large voted for
the first time for electors, which has
continued to the present time to be the
nearest approach to voting directly
for president. At the election OF 1924
Jackson received both a popular and
an electoral plurality, but still failed
of election, as the electoral plurality
was not a constitutional majority and
the contest was decided by the house
of Representative YES. So far as the sta.
tistics show, Jackson was the only
candida since 1920 who received q
plurality Of the electoral vote and still
failed to become president.
1t has been fortunate for q number
OF presidents that q popular majority
vas not required, as few of the CHIEF
executives during the past IS years
have received q majority OF all the
votes cast for presidential electors.
