 A simple little house like this is very much like going back to first principles, but it furnishes aecommo- lation for two just as well as a more elaborate affair. We all have ac- qualntances, especially among our Older friends, who commenced life as timply as this, and who are now en- toying the accumulations resulting from frugality and good management.

ALL EYES TURNED ON MASSACHUSETTS, Presidential Primary to Be
 Pulled off in the Bay
 State on Tuesday.
COMPLICATED AFFAIR
Roosevelt Progressives Giving Taft Supporters q Scare and FOss May
 BaIk Clark and Wilson.

Boston, Mass, April 27-The politi- cal eyes of the country are now cen- tered upon Massachusetts where, for the first time in the history of the State presidential primary will be held on Tuesday, April 30. Besides expre ssing their choice for president the voters Of each party will elect eiSlt delegates large 10 the nation- al conventions and twenty-eight dis trict delegates. A like number of alternateS will also be elected
 The result Of the primary and elec- tion, in the opinion of political lead CTS, will be crucial 10 the candidates campaigns of President Taft and Col onel Roosevelt. It is confidently stated in political circles that the Massachusetts vote will forecast the vote Of the Republican national con- vention at Chicago. If the old Bay State, which for so many years has been a conservative Republican stronghold. goes againsg Taft, it is believed that the Presidents candi- dacy will be dealt a blow from which it will not recover. On the other hand if the State goes for Taft by a decisive vote, it will have very im- portant effect in the Presidents fav-

Both Claiming State.

Both sides are making claims of victory but the Taft men appear the more confident. They claim that they will have practically all of the delegates and do not concede a single district to Roosevelt.
 The presidential primary is but ad- visory and delegates are running pledged to the various candidates. The name of five candidates for President appear on the ballots in the order named:
 Republicans-Robert M. LaFollette, Theodore Roosevelt, William Ii. Taft.
 Dcmocrats-Champ Clark, Woodrow Wilson.
 Roosevelt and Taft delegate-at- large states are in the field. Can didates for district delegates pledged to Roosevelt are running in every dis trict with the exception of the Firs:t. The Taft gate-at-large slate is headed by United States Senator w. Murray Crane, the leader of the State organization. Former Governor John l.. Bates is second on the list. EX- Governor John D. Long heads the Taft alternate-at-large slate.
 The Roosevelt delegate-at-large slate is headed by Charles s. Easter, an ex-mayor of the city of Medford and a prominent lawyer here EX- Senator Frank G. Seiberlich, of Bos- ton. is the only Independent candidate off delegate-at-large in the field on the Republican side. He is pledged to Taft.
 The men on the Taft tickets are by far more prominent than the Roose- welt candidates.
 All candidates will be voted upon individually, under a decision of the State Ballot Law Commission. This, it is believed, may help Taft The delegate and alternate-at--large states will appear in group form upon the ballot.
 Fighting For The Colonel.
 The Roosevelt people have been making 2 strenuous campaign here for their candidate. The Colonel has paid several visits to the State since he threw his Ina, in the ring" The campaign in his behalf is being con- ducted by the younger and so-call- ed progressive element in the party. Very few of she big republican lead CTS of the Staie are allied with it.
 The activity of the Roosevelt men, however has somewhat. Frightened the Taft people. This was indicated by the arrival of several of the Mas sachusetts Congressmen from Wash ington to assis$ in the campaign. Ral- lies for both candidates are being held in nearly every large municipal ity in the Commonwealth
 Although LaFollette's name will ap- pear on the ballot, no concerted or ganized campaign is being made for him and his vote is expected to be small
 On the Democratic side the contest between Clark and Wilson it is be- lieved 10 be clcse one. Active cam paigns are being conducted for each candidate. The Democratic organiza- tion leaders. however. are in a great majority for Clark and 1t is believed that he will carry the primary.

are out in force. 80.
This has been d great year so far
and we should he truly thankful Tor all
the good enjoyed. Business has been
on the jump all the year and is show
ing up in great volume as We near the
end OF the period. Honolulu has been
so prosperous. not only this year, but
for the past five or more, that We
hardly know what moderation means:
Where is there in the world a mere
selfsatisfied community than ours,
which, in itself, reflects prosperity?
AS the great gift season ap.
lproaches we are overcome by the
spirit of Good cheer which, when back
ed up by, such prosperity as we have
