MAGAZINE WRITER
VISITS SCHOOLS

Edgar Allen Forbes, the well-known
magazine man, did a lot of school in
spection work while in honolulu this
week. He and Superintendent Pope
of the public education departemnt
visited town and country schools
Pearl City, Aiea and Eva schools at
tracted the most attention and, at the
last named institution, Forbes glanced
over the big gathering and exclaimed:
where are the Hawaiian pupils?"
There we're but few of the native sons
or daughters there, and nearly every
other race under the sun was repre-
scented.
The visitor, who was accompanied
by a couple of other Cleveland pas
sengers, was deeply interested in the
schools he inspected. The Normal
School, at which lunch was taken, was
special object of attraction, and
copious notes were taken by the Wis
itors.
Out at the Kaiulani school photo
graphs were taken, and the various
nationalities were seen to advantage
in the groups. Forbes intends to com.
pile an article on the schools of Ho
nolulu, and he obtained much informa-
ton on the subject while in this city.
At Eva teachers from Australia, Ohio,
Hawaii, Portugal and the State Of
Washington was seen teaching side
by side.

Bryan Addresses
Wibaux Citizens

| William j. Bryan's utterances
from the rear Of No. 6 on last
Wednesday evening will be
memorable from the fact that it
was his first occasion to address
the citizens in Wibaux, and al
though his arrival on No. 6 was
not generally known for but a
short time before the train pulled
in, he was greeted by a goodly
number, regardless Of what their
political opinions may be.
In his brief remarks Mr.. Bry-
an stated that he was pleased to
see the opposition which existed
within the Republican ranks and
expressed his desire to see it
continue. He also expressed his
belief that the tariffs should be
revised, and that the u. S. Sen
ators should be elected by the
direct vote of the people. He
LaFollette as his
choice of the Republican timber
for our next president, and
among humorous remarks stated
that Roosevelt thought Taft
should not be nominated while
Taft thought Roosevelt should
not be nominated, and in his
opinion, they were both right.
At various visits on his journey
Mr.. Bryan declared that he was
not a candidate for the presi-
lency, and that he wished to be
regarded merely as a private
citizen. He will deliver his next
address at Fargo, to which city
le was bound.

That Taft will win the renom-

Timely Advise
on Dry Farming

Prof. Thomas Shaw, Agricu.
tural Expert of the Northern Pa.
cific Railway, has put into writing
few points in regard to dry land
farming that will materially help

year some OF his losses of last sea.

plain facts for the farmers guild
ance. If our farmers will follow
his suggestions, it is confidently
believed that the yield will be not
only satisfying but in many cases
astonishing It is sincerely hoped
that every one of our farmers will
not only carefully read the follow
ing but clip it out and paste it
where it will be referred to suftici.

minder.
Prof. Shaw states that ii is his
conviction that in the emi-urid
country. where the annual precip-
itation is IL 10 Is inches, it is
easily possible to farm land SO as
to eliminate the elements of uncer.
tainty or hazard in growing crops.
Where the rainfall is not more
than Il inches in a year, it may
be necessary in many instances to
grow but one crop on the land in
two years, but where the precipit-
alton is not less than Is inches on
the average, it is quite possible to
grow at least three crops in four
years.
The element of hazard that is,
the element of failure may be prac-
tically eliminated by growing small
grains on summer fallow, or on

The Four-F|uSher
is on the Job


now afforded by Theodore Roose
welt.
In 1904 and again in 1907 thi.
man declared explicitly, solemnly
and repeadly that under no cir.
cumstances would he ever be 9
candidate for the presidency
after the expiration of the term
to which he was elected in Nov
ember, 1904.
Not only so, but he declared
on both occasions that any such
candidacy on his part would be
a violation of the wise rule hith-
erto observed by the American
people forbidding more than two
terms to any president.
In the face of these solemn
declarations, it appears that a
large number Of Americans have
SO little faith in Theodore Roose-
velt's word that they are trying
to make him again presidential
candidate.
While this indecent and react
lonary campaign goes on Mr..
Roosevelt keeps silence, plainly
and grossly waiting to see how
much strength can be mustered
Tor him before he declares wheth-
er he is not possessed of any
sense of personal honor.
He allows his idolaters to cam
paign for him, and arrange
ments be made to capture dele
cations for him. and newspapers
to advocate him, and all the time
the only exact and recorded ut
terance of his on the subject is
an emphatic and repeated declar-
sion that under no circumstances
would he accept the nomination.
Meanwhile he waits to see if
the popular demand is great
enough to warrant him in play
ing the open poltroon with that |
declaration. If it is he will take
the chance, and if it is not he
will retire to his cave, his raw
meat and his draughts of hot
blood.
| say again that this is the
most disgusting spectacle ever
witnessed in American politics.
Hitherto, with all their faults,
the American politicians have
had a certain code of honor
among themselves that has half
way redeemed their infirmities.
The strongest article in their
ethics has been that a man shall
deal squarely with the game and
with his friends. We have nev-
er before had an instance of a
man in public life that allowed
his friends to labor in behalf and
stood off prepared to throw them
all down when he should be
pleased to do SO. Far more than
that we have never had a public
man that made a solemn declara-
ton as to his intentions and then
allowed anybody to assume that /
when he made it he was a liar.
The fact that we have that
today and any public
nan can get away with it ought i
% make us all think. t
