Thief IS 0VERTAKEN

When a man cannot leave all eX.
press wagon on the road for a few
hours without having one of the
wheels stolen, it would appear
that the time had come when po-
lice protection would be a mighty
sensible precaution.
A week ago last Sunday even
ing, Manuel Govea, a clerk i'll the
Lihue Store, had the occasion to
take an express wagon to Hama
maulu for the purpose OF bringing
some household furniture to Ii
hue, and while he was in the house
Of a friend, a Russian, who had
had the misfortune o break a
wheel corresponding with those
OH the express wagon, waited for
the cover of darkness, when he re-
moved the broken wheel, replac-
ing it with one of those on Govea' s
wagon.
The vehicle driven by the Rus
sian contained a number of his
countrymen, some from Makaweli
and others from Lihue, all being
more or less under heavy sail
which would have carried them
safely home had it not been that
they struck a reef in the vicinity
of the Lihue Store. when Govea
having been notified by a passing
neiahbor that a wheel was missing
had gathered a few volunteers and
hurried in hot persuit. The mer
were held up, the police notified
and the wheel recovered. The mex
morning the much so5ered indivi
duals explained the situation, and
were released save one, who wa,
requested to contribute the sum Of
a ten spot and costs to the county
Golfers.
Any old thing goes in Hanamau
IN because there is no police pro
lection. There is no need to ash
why. Everyone knows.

PINEAPPLE PEST NOT so BAD

Referring to II article as to
damage done to the pineapples in
the district of Homesteads, Hon.
!. l. Silva, the Eleele merchant
who is also a pine grower, Says
that on his plantation the pest has
not done great deal of damage,
and that he is rather inclined to the
belief that the reported damage of
ninety per cent is overestimated,
That the pest is damaging the fruit
considerably, he says is fact but
that he is quite positive that the
damage is much less than the re-
ported per cent. In his own case,
for instance being little less than
two per cent. - / am of the OPT
Mon, said Mr.. Silva to areporter,
the planter who gives his pines
the proper attention, need have
little or no fear from the pest. The
greatest amount of damage done
by the pest is to be found in neg
lected fields, and as l have said,
firmly believe that rrecaution in
the raising of the pines will obi
terate the pest

SHARK At HANALE|

CONSERVATION reigned supreme
on the Hanalei beach one day last
week when a party of bathers dis
covered the presence of all i'm
mense shark which had evidently
heard of the famous bathing beach
and decided to spend part of his
vacation there. His presence was
discovered by Mrs. S. B. Deverill
who lost no time in sounding an
alarm to those in the water, each
in turn, of whom did a marathon
to point of safety. This is said to
have been the first shark that has
been seen in these waters for many
years.

MEXICO GETS "HUHU"
he United States Continues to Permit
Its Subjects to Be Butchered With
Apparent Indifference.
HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF
Monroe Doctrine Puts it Up to The Uni
nited States to Protect Foreign Resi-
dents, AS Well.

According to latest news from
Mexico, the country is i'll high
state of indignation over the pos
sible intervention of the United
States. American and British flags
h ave been torn to shreds and
= trampled in the streets and a mob
marched through the S str eet s
carrying the Japanese flag, midst
outs of derision concerning
America and Great Britain. 1t is
practically settled by the Washing
ton authorities that the time for
Mexican Intervention is at hand.
History repeats itself. l t will
be remembered that Spain was al
lowed to drift along pretty much
as Mexico has, until the slaughter
Of several hundred Americans,

Sort, but when hot headed coun-
try continues revolution, with no
end in view, constantly commit
ing outra2es on foreigners who
are not in the least connected with
the issues responsible for the out
breaks, any man with grain of
feeling for his fellowman, must ad-
nit that the time has come for a
general reckoning. It's up to Our
Uncle Sammy tc step right in and
request the fighting beliggerants
= to sheath their sabers, and if they
cannot, or will not, then to employ
other pursuasives of more effec-
tive nature. No other nation in
existence would allow its citizens
to be butchered as has America and
permit those responible to go un-
punished and unmolested for such
a length of time. The Monroe
Doctrine establishes t h e United
States as a protectorate over the in
terests of other foreign subjects
than American, who own property
in Mexico, thus placing the United
States under a moral obligation to
see that these subjects are pro-
tected as we'll.

The Lihue wharf proposition is
being generally discussed, many
feeling that unnecessary delay is
causing the hold-up. 1t is claimed
that when the final selection was
made for our harbor, about half of
the necessary amount for the pro-

this fact that gives rise to the dis
