(Sent to Honolulu from Washington
as apropos of the situation.r
I'm twice as great as Washington,
I'm twice as great as Grant;
Because third terms they didn't get,
They needn't think l can't.
I'm twice as great as Jefferson
And Madison combined;
I'm twice as great as all the lot
OF Presidents, / find.
I'm greater than my Country,
And it's customs and it's laws,
It's poor old Constitution
And its Presidential flaws.
I'm twice as great as any man
Above or meath the sod;
In fact, I'm half inclined to think
I'm twice as great as God.

LITTLE INTERVIEWS

]. L. McCANDLESS-lf there Is a
Democratic president, there might be
a good chance Tor a Democratic paper
here.
W. T. POPE-We have just about
completed the salary schedule for
next years teaching list and are get
ting things we'll under way so as to-
be in readiness when school opens on
September IL.
JUDGE W!LDER-I offered the
Bull Moose party two bands for par
ade at the Army-U University ball game
on Saturday. but only George r. Car
ter and James 4. Wilder turnei up
and they declined to parade.
A. T. WISDOM-As soon as this
weather cools down a little bit, we,
shall start bowling again. All Of the
old BOWERS are here and there is no
reason why the season can not be as
successful as it was last year.
GEORGE CASE-We had such
crowd the opening night that one of
the walters had to stand at the door
and yell Next" to the waiting crowd.
1t caused several mistakes, too. be-
cause several men came in and de-
manded shaves.
JOHN H. WILS0N-The Hui Unio-
ma has not made any arrangements
yet for celebrating Labor Day. We
haven't yet got over the Fourth Of
July celebration, where the boys were
invited TO enter the parade and got
only about half. of their expenses
paid ."...
VIM. BUSH-Ifonolulu ought tol
have a subsidiary exhibition of its.
own right here at home during the
momentous 1915, to catch the passers-
through, of whom there will be thou-I
sands. The old fishmarket at the
foot of Alakea street would be excel
lent for the purpose. Something ON
the order of the California state ex-,,
hibits in the Ferry building, don't youI
know. .. -. i
ALEXANDER YOUNG - When the
new iron municipal ornamental cleo
trio light poles are erected between
the present sordid commercial wood
ones on Kalakaua avenue between the
Queens place and Kapiolani park the
aspect will be such as to remind one
of the beauty and the beast. 1t would
not cost much to shift the old poles
to the mauka side of the avenue along
this short stretch.

EMPEROR WILLIAM AS PROPHET

Emperor William may or may not be mis-
quoted i'm his statement that all the world will
be republican in fifty years, and that in that
time monarchies will pass away 1t is daring
statement to make. and one which will certainly
be Immediately challenged in many quarters, yet
it is not a new thought.
POrtugalS transformation from monarchy
to a republic, the constant revolutionary plots
barely nipped in proud Spain, the steady growth
of parliamentary as opposed to purely monarch
ical power in other European empires, point to
a day when thrones will give place to executive
chairs and courts to republican cabinets. Fifty
wears. however, is short time for any general
Transformation.
Labor unrest, already darkcning the sky of
Europe will hasten such a transformation. In
ternational war would set it back fifty years
more. Given war between any two great Euro
mean powers, and the fierce national patriotism,
The exalting of military heroes, the fclvor Of bat
fling with thrones at stake, would arouse a
spirit of idealsm anda postpone a spirit

STOCK EXCHANGE
BOARD BLANK

For the first time in long while
there was an absolute blank under
the head of session sales on the Stock
Exchange sheet today. Only three
transactions were reported from be-
tween boards. Hawaiian Pineapple
marks up a quarter in sale of 2S
shares at 1875. Oahu Railway is I'M
changed at 140 for II shares, and Ha-
waiian Sugar at AZ for % shares. Al
though there is next to nothing doing,
stocks are strongly held all down the
line. In several cases advances are
asked over last sale quotations.

As TO The LAND LAWS

l.. l.. McCandleSss statement, togehcr with
the rep atcd jerrmials of Delegate kuAo, indi-
cate that the two candidates for HaWaiis repre-
sentative in Congress look upon the territorial
land laws as tAe strategic point of attack.
OF course both of them are picking ont the
land laws particularly to discuss in their cam
paign because they can thus make direct ap-
peal to the voters and on a matter of which the
ave rage voter knows no more, specifically, than
he does of Schedule X or disarmament, or the
Judicial recall or any other subject that goes
more by name than real acquaintance.
Mr.. McCandless asserts in statement he has
given out that Delegate KuhiO's talk about re-
vising the land laws is a bluff. What the terri
Sorry needs maintains Mr.. McCandless is not so
much change in the enforcement Of the laws
as in the laws themselves.
On this platform-a revision of the land laws
the Democratic leader is therefore making his
principal stand. And yet, where in his state
ment does. he suggest any specific changes, any
new provisions, any distinct legislation? No
where ..
McCandless says that what is needed is a
"plain, simple and clear law, . whereby for
nominal consideration and upon the perform
ance of cenain homestead duties clearly set
forth, the homesteader may acquire his home
stead in fee simple and that his right should not
be dependent upon the Whm or discretion Of any
executive officer" 49,. .~.... n
Nobody questions that the territory should
have a plain, simple and clear homestead law
encouraging bonafide settlers, discourassing
takers. That is territorial doctrine. But Nc
CandIess fails to give the voters anything def
mite as to what changes in legislation ne pro-
poses. t@.s@s@.3 49,: $3.50 ~>.>1 - ..-%
Presumably Mr.. McCandless had these
changes in mind Presumably he knows just
what he would do, if elected to Congress, in the
direction of changing the laws. 1t is only fair
to the voters and the whole territory that it's can
didates for delegate set forth plainly what
changes they indorse We've had enough OF
vague promises. What is needed now is a state
ment showing just where in the land laws the
changes should be made, and just what amend
ments should be Incorporated .
