HIGH TRIBUTE TOCAPT. PARKER
SHOULDBE SHERIFF, SAYS RAWLINS
Attorney of His Personal knowledge Tells of Bravery and e.
ficiency of Former Captain of Police
During Strikes

II am mighty glad to see that Rob-
ert W. Parker is getting good support
for the office of county sheriff. He
ought to get enthusiastic support from
the Fourth district" commented At
torney w. T. Rawlins this morning in
speaking of the political situation.
Capt. Robert Parker is the best
man the people could possibly put in
charge of the police department Il
have served with him, and l believe ]
am in a position to know.
Talk about strikes. Robert Parker
has had more serious strike situa-
tons to deal with than any other pO-
lice officer, of the territory and he has
done the work quietly and with such
perfect efficiency that few know of
his exceptional ability as a command
ing police officer.
81 well recall the time when l was
deputy high sheriff and the strike at
Lahaina was on. Word came that we
should send men to Lahaina. / called
up Robert Parker, told him the work
in hand, and without a word of COM
ment he proceeded to the duty in
hand, got his men together and went
to Lahaina, where he met the situa-
ton and handled it right. But that is
not the whole story. A day or two
after Parker left, his wife called me
on the phone and asked me to come
to the house. I went. Mrs. Parker
then asked me if Robert could not
come home as their boy was dying. /
found that although Capt. Parker
knew that his son was very low he
had not uttered word when he be-
Iieyed that his duty as an officer de-
manded his presence in Lahaina
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-10-05

That's the true spirit of a patriotic
man who understands his duty. As
the situation at Lahaina had quoted
Immediately on the arrival of the pO-
lice, sent a wireless and Capt Par
ker was, ordered to return
Il believe the people ought to know
these things.
THAT is not the only instance
where Parker has done the efficient,
the right and the noble thing. l re-
call one night when Mn E. d. Tenney
called me up and notified me of a
strike at Waialua plantation. I call
ed on Parker as the Captain Of Police
and in very short time he had his
men assembled and on the way to
Waialua. On arrival there the situa-
ton looked serious but Parker distri-
buted his men to the best advantage,
shut off the Japanese who were COM
ing in from Kahuku way, and in no
time at all had conditions in such
shape that he had only to leave a
comparatively few men on guard.
There are other and many occa-
sions during the official life Of Robert
Parker where he has shown courage
and marked ability. He has faced
bullets and been in tight places that
test the nerve of the best of men,
and he has never been found wanting.
Parker has the right make up for
proper discipline. He has made good
at every point. He is a hard work
ing, right living man. He ought to
have enthusiastic support all along
the line in the Fourth District. and
have not the slightest doubt that he
will get solid support of the Republi-
cans of the Fifth District as well as
the votes of many Democrats in that
district"

HONOLULU real ESTATE OFFERS
BARGAINS FOR BUYERS, HE SAYS
F. E. Steere Back from Tour of Mainland Is Enthusiastic
Over Prospects Here After COMPARISONS

In the estimation of F. E. Steere
of the real estate department of the
Henry Warehouse Trust Co., Ltd,
real estate in Honolulu is selling at
figures more promising to the buyer
than in any other city Of the country,
or at least that portion of the. coun-
try which he touched in very gen.
eral and pleasant tour. .-: Ill r..
Relatively, our prices are lower all
along the line, and we compare, them
with cities where the areas for ex-
pansion are unlimited. Here our
lands are limited in area and the pros
poets for the future are without limit, I"
said Mr.. Steere in commenting on his
observations.
+. Take for instance the city of Port
land, Oregon, where the growth is
steady and more rapidly permanent
than many other cities of the Coast,
their suburban property is selling at
a much higher figure than here in
Honolulu. Lots there of smaller size
and twenty minutes walk from the
street car lines are held and sold at
q much higher figure than here in
Honolulu, where the lots for home
builders are practically on the car
line and twenty minutes from the cen
ter of town.
II Il stopped in many cities along the
way from Honolulu to New Bedford

on real estate values.

FOR PAL0L0 WATER

The Territory on next Monday will
take the final steps in acquiring the
Palolo water rights, paying over to
the Palolo Land Improvement Com
pany the sum of $4,000 agreeds upon
short time ago and receiving the
fee simple to about 3S7 acres of land
and title to the water sources.
Assistant Attorney General A. G..
Smith today Is engaged in drawing the
fral order of condemnation and max
ing such preparations as are neces-
sary to formally pass out that $4,000
check and receive the deed. There are
four or five smaller owners who are
thought to have some interest in the
water sources, and settlements prob
ably will b made with them next
week. aaFN
On Palolo Hill big reservoir, prob
ably the highest in the region, will be
tuilt shortly, and the work of connect
ing the ney supply wit hthe city mains
is to be rushed to an early coemPle,

of the textile industry. But with the
present protection the mills in New
Bedford are running on half time. If
this is the situation under protection
it would naturally be expected that
something would happen under gen
eral reduction of the tariff. But all
these people are going ahead as If
nothing would happen.
Generally speaking that is the way
/ found it all over the country. No
I, one seems to be frightened over the
prospect of tariff reduction and ruin
of the industry.
Seattle appears to have gone
ahead too rapidly or spent too much

Eyes, feel certain that an increas-
ing number of people are coming to
Hawaii. They know where it is and
people you meet all along the line re-
mark that a trip to Hawaii is now
figured in their definite plans for the
future. noticed the large number
of strangers here even after having
been away a few months. The record
of the renting department shows that
people are continually coming in
here. I'm blessed if know where
they are coming from or what they
are doing, but they are here, they are
making a living, some paying rent
and some buying homes. 1t all speaks

Dear Sir: ~ - .- IN.
In reply to your note of Au-
gust eighth, | am glad to say a
few words about the impression
Hawaii made on me. s
l was there only seven days,
but should have been glad to stay
month, so delightful was the
climate, so interesting the indus
tries and the extraordinary med
ley of races. Two days and a
half Of my seven were spent in
visiting the volcano Kilauea, with
it's surging, splashfng pit of mott
en- lava. That pit is the most i'm
pressive sight have ever seen;
and l suppose it to be unique on
the earth of today. ..7..-. s.as
had time to visit only two of
the islands, Oahu and Hawaii, but
l should have been glad to visit :.
= the other six.
All American tourists who traye
% the Pacific coast ought to extend
heir journey to the Hawaiian islands
unless they have an insuperable OBJ.
ection to ocean travel.
Very truly yours,

The woman who has original ideas
and Is clever with the needle can
make herself summer curtains which
Will be the envy of all her friends
curtains which win cost less than
very ordinary one bought at the
shops.
For the summer home tho little
bungalow nestled among the hills or,
perhaps, down by the sea, short. cur
tains are more advantageous than
long ones. because they launder easily
and can be done up at home.
The long curtains which in past
years were universal with all classes
have. fortunately, lost some of their
popularity. At best they were inartis-
tic. rather spelling the looks of a
room, while the short curtains are
not only practical. but. if chosen care
fully, add materially to the beauty OF
an apartment.
Curtains should be pleasing to the
artistic sense, attractive TO the home
lover and inexpensive. When ehoos-
Ing curtains always consider the room
which they are to grace. DC not hang
dead-white curtains in a cold north
room.
An inexpensive quality of dotted
swiss makes very dainty curtains for
the bedrooms of your summer cottage.
These can be made at home. the inner
edge and bottom. finished either with
a frill of the plain swiss or n straight
edge of coarse linen lace. The latter
Is newer and costs very little more
than tho frill.
When making the curtains he sure YOU
cut them long enough TO not only cover
the entire window, but also allow mn
inch or two for shrlnkage. II is most dis
tressing for the good bousekecper to fluid
after her pretty curtains have been
washed that they do not come to the
bottom of the window. but look rather

The Care of the Nails.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear MISS doom.
VIII you please be SO kind as TO help
me to cure my finger nailsy Always when
pushing my cuticle down my skin cracks
and causes me great pain; ana also tell
me what Is good 10 clean the nails. ,IheF
never look clean, although nm aiming
TO have clean nails always. The skin
cracks and causes II TO bleed. Thank
Ing you in advance for your favor. ! re-
main your faithful reader. H.. l..
think the trouble is that your skin
and nails are too dry. Every night soak
the nails for at least ten minutes In
slightly warm sweet almond oil. The
same oil can be used a couple of times.
After the almond oil bath pat the fingers
gently with n piece of soft muslin and fill
the cracks Mt the base of the nails and
around the cuticle with vaseline. Then
rub each nail gently with a piece Of
chamois TO rub in the grease, Much of
the vaseline will be taken up in this way.
40 after going over The cuticle at the
base of each nail with an orange stick
make n second application of vaselinc.
Then put on a pair of gloves for the night
As soon as you draw the gloves off in
the morning rub a piece of ehamois or a
buffer over each nail. Next rub a gener-
Gus supply of cold cream into the cuticle.
aud wash the hands with soap and water
aud a nail brush. Push back the cuticlc
with an orange stick. rub a very little
vaseline into the cuticle and polish with
q channels.
Powder should not be used on the nails
more than once a week. If that often. as
n is apt to ave a drying effect.
Never use n sharp instrument to clean
the nails. After brushing them wind a
piece of absorbent cotton around FOUR or
sng stick. dip II in hydrogen peroxide
and clean each nail.
IF you will follow those directions faith
fully You will soon see n marked i'm
provement in your nails. your desire to
keep condition is commendable.

To Remove Ink Spots.

Dear Miss Doom
Will YOU please print in your paper
something that Will take ink out of a
white shirtwaist sleeve?
Also. what is the best exercise book
for the piano? Abb. G.
Moistcn the ink spots with lemon juice,
sprinkle well with salt and lay the waist
in the sun, or moisten spots with water
and coyer them with powdered salts of
lemon made of equal parts of oxalic acid
and t~artaric acid. Hot melted tallow
is also very effectual in removing ink.
Pour the tallow through the spots and
afterwards wash the waist In the usual
way.
The question of the best exercise book
for the piano Is a matter of opinion, diff
ferent teachers preferring different meth
DDS. You should be guided by your
teacher in a matter of this kind or go to
n first-class music store and have them
recommend n method to you. You could
also Inquire there about the method You
mention.
