Homestead Bill.

Senator Borah's homestead bill has
Epassed the senate without opposition.
This bill reduces the required residence
on a homestead from five years to three
and permitting six months absence from
the land each year
A fight is to be made ON the till in
the house but it is hardly likely that il
can be defeated. The time has come
when the government can well afford
to tighten the burden of the homestead.
er. Tie best of the homestead land is
gone asa the homeseekers who take the
land now available should be permitted
to do SO on easier terms than have here
tofore been required of homesteaders.
The government can well afford to do
this as an inducement to settle upon the
less desirable lands remaining.
Some Of our land officials seem to
take an entirely different view OF this
matter, as the available homestead land
grows less, they insist upon increasing
the burdens on the homesteader. They
favor stricter red tape regulations and
a strict construction Of the law and
rules against the homesteader. Simply
because some parties, in the years that
have gone, succeeded in getting title to
government land without strict com
pliance with the law. is no reason why
the punishment for the wrongs of these
homesteaders should be visited upon
the present and future homesteaders in
the shape Of unnecessary burdens.

County Central Committee.

Readers Of the Herald should notice

Heretofore these officers have frequent

they are elected by a vote Of the pre-

gives the county candidates more thar
one-third Of the votes that elect the Of
fiecrs OF the county central committee

mitteemcn, seommtteewomcn and II
candidates for county Office.
Then the chairman ann vice chair
man elected by this vote are, by virtue
Of this Office. also members Of the state
and all Of the district committees.
This Is placing an unreasonable a.
mount Of power In party matters In tho
hands OF two officers as Il gives them
control Of ihc party organization. Just

acting this primary law aa reform

HOLIDAY MARKET IS

The day after Christmas found To-
cal stock market that was practically
lifeless. 1t is not expected that there
will be any special activity until after
New Years Day, when, following the
disbursement of a number of dividends
by the sugar companies, things may
brighten up some, so far as transactions
are concerned, although it is predicted
that a few of the active stocks may
mark still lower price. If this is SO
it will be a case of finding money
for some buyers.
Between boards Oahu Sugar was
steady at 23.625 for thirty shares. Olaa

At the session of the local exchange
Eva was the only sugar stock dealt il
and fifteen shares sold for 24.50, a de

KNOCKED !.
DOWN AND INJURED

Seriously injured in an accident in
which he figured as the only victim, a
Japanese named Imura is at the
Queens Hospital. He was knocked
down on King street near Piikoi by
DIR. w. d. Baldwin, early yesterday
afternoon, and was taken to the hos.
pital at once. The police investigation
that followed put the blame on the
Japanese, the testimony of several eye.
witnesses being taken.
According to their story Imura was
riding a bicycle Waikiki on King, ap.
preaching the switch. He was carrying
bulky bag of groceries weighing
twenty-five pounds, which was itself
against the law and this bag is be
lieved to have been the cause of the
accident.
Doctor Baldwin was going town
wards ON the right side of the street
AS the Japanese reached the switch
he saw ear straight ahead and turned
out sharply to the left. Instead OF
merely swerving, however, he suddenly
turned at right angles, seemingly los
ing control of the bicycle and rar
straight into the sidewalk, crossing the
path of the machine, which hit hin
squarely. o. Anderson, n passenger OF
the ear, and another witness who help
ed pick the man up, both tell the SANE
| story.

GOVERNOR SAILS
FOR HOME AGAIN
adventurous Trip to Confines of
City of Honolulu Come
to End.
olMiiwav. pecember 20. 1gl2.


"Finc trip. All well. start home at
noon today via Laysan Island.
"(signed) FREAR."
This welcome message flashed along
the cable from faraway Midway Island
yesterday. announced the safe arrival
of Hawaii g chief executive and Attor.
nev General Lindsay and their prepare.
tons to get back once more to Homo
lulu. The cable was addressed to f.
A. Mott.Smith, secretary of the Terri.
tory.
News received Christmas morning an
nounced that the revenue cutter Thetis
conveying Governor Frear and party
and several scientists, had arrived off
Midway Island, as they had originally
planned, but they were doomed to dis.
appointment in eating their Christmas
dinner as guests of the hospitabe PEG.
pie of Midway. Waves rolled high
along the coast, and though teveral at.
tempts were made to get through the
surf, each time the landing parties were
compelled to return to the ship. The
Thetis was finally compelled to head
out to sea and await for calineI
weather.
This opportunity, apparently, did not
come until yesterday morning when the
landing, it is understood, was made
about eleven O'Clock 1t is believed
that only sufficient time was taken to
land the belongings of George Willett
government biologist, and other scien.
lists who have been sent to Midway
in an effort to discover means of rid.
ding the place of certain animal pests
Willett and party will, perhaps, remain
for several weeks.
Because of the brief stop of the dis.
tinguished visitors, the people of Mid.
way had but little opportunity to ex.
tend the full measure of hospitality
which had been prepared for their com,
ing. As it was, Governor Frear and
Attorney General Lindsay were warmly
greeted by the inhabitants, urged to
make their visit more lengthy and as.
sured of welcome at all times on that
faraway ocean isle. The Governor, OF
couse, responded graeiously, expressed
his regret that the duties of state re-
luired his immediate departure and
thanked the people of Midway for theil
kindness.
The Thetis left Honolulu on the af
ternoon of December Is last, making
the trip to Midway in ten DAYS. A
delay of one day in effecting landing
has added to the schedule, and this is
believed to be the reason for the Gov
ernor s determination to clear from
Midway so soon after arrival 20 b
On the return cruise it is thought
that only brief stop will be- made
ut Lavsan Island and the Thetis. will
its sea.tired travellers aboard, may b,
looked for to arrive in Honolulu abou
noon of January next.
