DOLL SALE PROVING
FINANCIAL SUCCESS

American dolls, Esquimaux dolls,
little brown Hawaiian dolls, dolls Of
all nations, and whole families of
dolls were on sale at the Royal Ha.
waiian Hotel today under the auspi.
ces of the Kings Daughters. The
sale is proving to be most success
full one and according to report this
noon, the greater part of the dolls on
sale had been sold. Those in charge
hope to sell them, and this is Ger.
tainly assured If they go as quickly
as they did this morning.
At high noon today Mary Ellen was
married to Duke Kahanamoku," the
doll bridegroom. He looked the part
of nervous bridegroom, and was all
"fussed up" in brand new suit with
tails on the coat that was made for
him at the last moment, relieving him
of the embarrassment of having to
be married in a bathing suit. The
doll bride was attended by number
Of daintily dressed bridesmaids, and,
to make the affair complete. six
dolls in the form of miniature Dukes
acted as best man and ushers. They
were not dressed in accordance to
the established custom, but wore
bathing suits with yellow ribbons
around their chests.

NEW PUBLICITY LAW
WILL AFFECT HAWAII

Blanks for the furnishing of de
tanned information of their business
Ito the postal authorities by the pub
locations of Hawaii, have been receiv-
ed by Postmaster Pratt from the AS
|sistant Postmaster General, under
the new law in the postoffice appro,
tpriation bill, passed in August. The
constitutionality of the law will be
tested by the mainland papers, the
particular paper to bring action be-
ing the Freies Presse, of New York.
In a circular letter received by Mr..
Pratt, the publicity features of the
rev law are shown, including pro-
vision in the law which requires all
reading notices of any nature for
which the newspaper is paid or ex-
poets to be paid, to be marked "Ad-
yertisement."
The circular states that not later
than the first day of April and the
first day of October of each year, the
owner of any publication, except re-
ligious, fraternal, temperance, scien'
tific and other similar publications,
is to file these blanks with the post

ANOTHER CUBAN CRISIS

Cuba is again approaching a crisis in it's spot
ted history of crises, and once more the United
States is confronted with task like that of an
indulgent parent who finds his offspring run
ming wild and getting into all sorts of disorder
ly habits
Two serious questions occupy the public
mind-can Cuba survive the present state of her
finances and can she hold an honest and orderly
election for the presidency with a loyal submis-
sion of the defeated party to the will of the ma
jority?
That the treasury is empty; that the last dol
lar of the $16,50O,OOO Speyer loan has been
spent, while the work of sewering and paving
Havana, the principal purpose for which the
plan was authorized by the United States, is not
finished and is in danger of interruption if not
of abandonment; that the government is at it's
wits end to find money to meet it's vast expend-
itures, while receipts from customs and the lot
terry have reached their lowest point-all this
is asserted by enemies of the government, and
most of it frankly admitted.
Last month the government defaulted for the
first time on the account due the sewering and
paving contractors for work done in July
amounting to about $500 900. The government
declared it found itself unable to meet the bill
simply because it had no more money. The con-
tractors appealed to the American legation and
sufficient pressure was brought to bear to con-
vince the government that payment was impera-
tive. The following day the money was forth
coming
The present aspect of the political situation
appears to justify reasonable expectations that
General Mario Menocal can carry the election,
especially as he has just formed an alliance with
the wing of the Liberal party under the leader
ship of General Ernesto Asbert, governor of Ha-
vana province. 49,. -. T.. ...
Both Conservatives and Liberals are making
strong bids for the negro vote, the former en-
Ideavoring to excite the animosity of the negroes
against the Liberals on account of the fatalities
to men of their race during the last insurrection
in Oriente and the latter endeaNoring to placate
them by promises of unconditional pardon to
thousands of negro prisoners.

PROTECT HAWAI'S FISH.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-The question of the fisheries
in these islands appeals strongly to
me, who possibly can claim a rank
among those who follow the same OF
the ocean. | have read with interest
the letters recently published in your
columns from Prof. Thompson, George
C Allen and James H. Boyd, all ex-
perts in Hawaiian fish and fishing
and | fully concur in their warning
against promiscuous fishing as now
IL not encouraged here
Your editorial on the same subject on
two different occasions was highly
gratifying. as it showed that we, who
stand for protected fisheries, have
the power of the press with US. l am
slated for an elective office on the
Democratic ticket, but / am glad to
see that the question of protection OF
our fishes will not be made a political
issue, but one in which you and your
party can give me your support.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-10-12
LETTERS ON TIMELY TOPICS

In thanking you for your stand on
the fish question. trust you will
agree with me on other matters of
public interest, on which We can meet
as non-partisans and for the good of
the whole commonwealth. 1t is per-
haps not necessary to go into details
as far as the present methods Of fish
ing are concerned, but the fact should
be emphasized now and forever that
the use of giant powder and Of the
throw-nets for the catching of under
sized fish are the bane of our fisher
les.
| believe that the territorial govern
ment should be represented by a fish
commissioner and game warden, and
that the fish market should not be
owned by private individuals but un-
der absolute control of the municipal
government
Thanking you for your space, am,
yours sincerely,

TAFT's STRENGTH GROWS.

President Tafts confidence that he will be
reelected is so buoyant and so ever-increasifg
that he has inspired the entire Republican cam
paign organization to harder work than ever
and according to late news from the mainland
his rosy predictions are beginning to come true
in the reversal of sentiment among those of his
own party who were temporarily attracted by
the Bull Moose movement.
In a recently published statement, Taft thus
set forth the situation:
"When l declared, few weeks ago, that |
felt reasonably sure of my own reelection in
November and of the success of the Republican
party was regarded by some as entirely over
sangune, and unaware of the situation. Today,
however, after a number of indications that the
Republican party is stillSthe dominant party,
and that the expected growth of Democratic
strength has failed to materalize, my early dec
laration is shown to be entitled to respect. The
Republicans necessarily will have reduced ma
jority over 1908 because of the presence of three
tickets in the field, but the Democratic party
will suffer also. The combined strength of the
third-term party will not he enough to change
the ultimate result.
. give or six weeks ago it was asserted gener-
ally that the Republican party would secure the
vote of the solid east, including all of the New
England states with the exception of Maine and
Vermont; that the Democratic party would
maintain it's hold on the solid south, and that
the third-t party would secure the solid west,
leaving only the middle west as debatable
ground Today, with the election still one
month away, the Republican party finds itself
with strengthened hold on the solid east, hav-
ing routed the third term party in Vermont and
the Democratic party in Maine. The third term
leaders recently conceded that we would pick
the state of Utah out of the solid west, and, aft

ON CAMPAIGN SPEECHES

At Republican rally the other night a vet
eran campaigner of the mainland made this re-
mark: "Why is it that political speeches in Ha-
waii so seldom deal with the vital issues of the
campaign? Why don't we ever hear any of those
old-time campaign speeches.
Why indeed?
1t is not because the voters are not interested
in something more than mere wind and motion.
They are interested. The questions of educa-
ton, of health, of cleanliness in public office;
the questions of public office run by any one in
terest or set of interests or run by all the peo-
pie; the questions of purging elections from any
faint of fraud or coerciOn-these are matters
that every voter finds of personal interest. - 4
The political speech that wins is the short,
pungent speech packed with ideas expressed
clearly, forcefully and with the energy that
comes from conviction. And the voters have a
right to hear from the candidates Just what each
man believes he can accomplish IN office. Ii
man goes into office without any definite inten-
ton of doing something for the people he's not
likely to be much of a success.
And if man accepts candidacy without
any clear idea that his position entails some con-
structive work he is not fit to receive one vote.
The people of Honolulu Will hear great zeal
of Fourth district politics and Fifth district pol
itics during the next three weeks They will
hear plenty of stories told at the expense of the
other fellow,-sthe other fellow" being Repub-
lican or Democratic, according to the political
faith of the spellbinder speaking. ..>~~.
Let's hear something from you, Mr. Candi-
date, as to what you intend to do in the house,
in the senate, on the board of supervisors or in
other county office Have you any reason for
running for office-any reason, that is, except
the desire to be in office? If so, let's have it.
Mr.. Candidate, you make mistake if you
underestimate the intelligence of the Hawaii
voter? The voter of Hawaii by force of natural
leaning and long training is a party man, but
he is beginning to realize that his party must
stand for something definitely progressive in To-
cal government, and that each candidate On the
party ticket must do his personal share towards
initiating and carrying out progressive policies.

The flag-raising ceremonies at Liliuokalani
school yesterday emphasized another monument
to the great work for education in Hawaii done
by the last legislature. The next legislature
cannot allow this work to be wasted. Educa-

which the appropriations each two years are the
