The temperance forces of the State
are lining up for the conflict in good
shape. The difficult task of securing
classified list Of voters is being
successfully wrought out in each
county and complete poll Of the
State will be ready in a few weeks.
On account of the condition of
the roads, but few Ratification Clubs
have been organized in the country

established they have rendered most
excellent service in arousing interest
in the campaign.
The cities have organized for the
campaign by selecting committees of
business men and professional men.
These committees are arousing much
interest in the campaign and are
centers of inspiration.
The State will soon be completely
organized and every force that can.

DEADLY WEAPON CAN BE
CONCEALED IN THE HAND

A recent capture by the police of
New York City unearthed a new and
terrible weapon for the destruction
of human life, one that can be carried
by the thug or the burglar and no
one be the wiser unless he have ac-
casion to use it.
This weapon is a single blue steel
gun barrel that can be concealed in
the hand. At its base is hard rub
Der cap that fits snugly into the palm;
the first middle fingers encircle the
barrel over the steel ring, and a pull
downward on a spring discharges a
22.calibre centre-fire cartridge.
The picture represent the exact
size of the weapon, which is so in
conspicuous that it can be carried
In the upper vest, pocket as a foun-
tain pen or in the trousers pocket
as a penknife.
The police. are seeking the manu-
facturer of this weapon, but so far
no dealer has been found who is
handling it.

EXPERIMENTAL
WORK ON HAWAII

Especial correspondence of The Starr
HILO, May 17.-On the Mauna Kea,
which arrived from Honolulu last
Wednesday morning. two members of
the United States Agricultural Expe-
riment Station arrived. w. r. Nc
George and A. T. Longley came to Ha-
wall to investigate plant and soil con-
-ditions at Twenty-nine Miles. The
two young men are regular members
of DR.. Wilcoxs staff and they have
had much experience in their line of
work.
Longley will confine himself more
to the study of the different fodder
crops that are being raised at the ex,
pertinent station. All kinds of crops
that should prove valuable to dairy
men are being cultivated, and the re-
suits are being tabulated SO that the
data concerning the fodder may be
complete.
McGeorge is more interested in soil
chemistry, and he will report on that
branch to DR.. Wilcox, the head of the
station in Honolulu.

QUALIFICATIONS
FOR PRIMARIES

To require. as a condition to taking
part in nominating delegates to the
Republican territorial convention, that
a voter shall have his name enrolled
on the great register of the Terri
tory; is the suggestion advanced by
Chairman A. d. Cooper, Of the Re
publican territorial central committee.
Mr.. Cooper thinks that it would tend
towards getting a fuller and more
prompt registration, which is now re-
quired by law of all voters Then 1t
would prevent "colonizing," or the
shifting about of henchmen from pre-
cinct to precinct for the purpose uf
controlling the precinct primaries. 1t
would also prevent minors from TAX
ing part in these primaries, or from
being entered on precinct rolls.
Would Prevent Too Much Talk.
1t was further suggested that the
half hour allowed for nominations, be-
tween 1880 and o'clock p. M, should
be limited to nominations without
speeches; thus preventing a speakers
holding the floor to prevent nomina-
tons.
Carl S. Carlsmith, of Hilo, sent a
letter, suggesting that a rule be made
preventing a county supervisor, or
other elective county officers, from
holding membership on a county com
mittee, or from holding proxies there
in.

Active Labor Leaders In British Parliament

King George is a well meaning fig
urehead; Premier Asquith is old and
worn out by struggles; Balfour, real
leader of the Unionists despite his
nominal retirement, is philosophy
cal waverer; Bonar Law, nominal lead
or of the opposition, is lightweight;
Lloyd-George is too radical for the
great body of the British public;
Rosebery is old and unwilling to en-
ter the lists; Chamberlain is stricken
with age and illness" So runs the
pessimistic roll of the rulers of the
great British empire. Who, then, run
the government on the domains o.
which "the sun never sets?" And the
answer comes across the Atlantic,
"The leaders of the Labor party in
the house of commons" 1t is they
who, by holding the balance of power,
have shaped matters to suit them
selves in the consideration and dis
cussion of the great coal strike From
their ranks may come a premier of
Great Britain, perhaps, indeed, pre-
sident of the British republic or
communistic state which has been
predicted
The present state Of the parties in
tie British parliament is as follows:
Unionists, 27S Liberals (nominally in
power), 266; Labor, AZ; Nationalists,
all groups, 81. Only by coalition with
Laborities or Nationalists, or both,
has the Asquith ministry kept at the
helm of the ship of state. With the
withdrawal of such third party, and,
in a sense, alien support, comes yaw-
ing OF the ship at the first big divi-
sion in st. Stephens. Nothing less
than a dissolution and a general cleo
ton. with probable victory for the
Unionists, is to be expected. Here
tofore the labor men and the Irish
Nationalists have acted generally with
the Liberals, the former because
Lloyd-George's measures have prom
ised amelioration of the workingman's
lot, the latter because home rule, de-
spite Orange opposition, has been
promised. Now, however, along comes
a gigantic coal strike and upsets
things. And the end of things no man
l5noweth yet
An idea of what manner of men
these are who in less than a genera
ton have pushed the ruling classes"
of Great Britain and Ireland virtu-
ally out of the places of power, with
cut actually holding high Offices
themselves may be gained from a
brief study of their careers. They
are workingmen who have toiled with
their hands and have used their brains
to second their digits. They are men
who have in many cases openly fiout
cd the higher education" but have
rot neglected the reading in econo-
mics and history which has given
them their hold on their fellows to
such an extent that they have not only
heen elected to successive parlia-
ments, but have been maintained
while there. Take John Burns, for
example one of the men, whose pic
lures are used. He is the Right Hon
