Waimea, Mr.. Tucker stated to a
number of residents, most of whom
were signers to Our application
that he very much favored the AS
sociatiou Plan, and if he had his
say in the matter of size of home
steads, none would be smaller than
90 acres. That evening Mr.. Tucker
stopped with a prominent citizen
of Eleele for the night, and during
their conversation regarding h e
matter of homesteading, his talk
was all in favor of the Association
Plan, and the large size holdings.
This was on Friday al this time
the Sub Land Agent, Mr.. Nc
Bryde was in Honolulu, but re-
turned the next morning, Satur-
day and Mr.. Tucker called upon
him at h is home. After leaving
Mr.. McBfyde, h e Land Com
missioner was approached b y a
member of our association and was
greatly surprised to learn that his
views of the day previous were en-
tirely changed. He stated that the
lots would be only 20 acres each.
and would not be given out to an
Association. He was immediately
taxed with being influenced, b y
having pressure brought to bear
upon him, which accusations h e
did not deny, merely stating that
he had to do as he was told. The
attitude of MI. Tucker is better ex-
planned by his own letter which
reads as follows:
4 have for acknowledgment
your letter. Upon my return c
Honolulu, the matter of the size OF
the new Kalaheo lots was gone in
to very thoroughly, and it was
deemed best for all concerned tc
have those lots divided into al
area of twenty acres. And again
these lots will be opened only TN
der the special homestead agree
ment form and not under h c
settlement association plan. 1t was
at first intended to Rave them in
larger areas but all matters having
been taken into consideration, this
final decision was arrived at-that
lis, twenty acres each.
Yours very truly,
JOSHUA d. TUCKER,
Commissioner of Public Lands.
The Sub Land Agent was then
sought and asked for an explana-
ton, and was also asked if he had
recommended lots of 20 acres each
and whether he had objected to the
Association Plan. He stated that
he had strongly advised Mr.. Tucker
to grant no association request
and recommended lots of size OF
not more than 20 acres. Each ques-
toned tor a reason for so doing in
view of his former assurance o t
goodwill, he stated that his reasons
for so doing were; The granting
of lots of a larger size than 20 acres
would be aninjustice to, first: The
Kauai Fruit & Land Co. Secondly
The McBryde Sugar Co., and last
the Present Homesteaders,
We cannot see where the Cannery
or the Plantation should be con-
sidered at all, in the slightest de-
gree. The matter of the present
Homesteaders, certainly has some
merit. But inasmuch as it is con-
clusively proven by these same
present Homesteaders that home
steads on the present plan and size
can only result in failure, we take
it that the Government should pro
fit by this very example and no'
persist in its present suicidal policy
regarding future homesteads. The
size of future homesteads. be they
large or small cannot possibly

Paving Ones Debts.

I'll tell you about this thing of
paying ones debts. Very few men
do it from a spasm of morality.
They do it because it pays best in
the long run. No man who makes
practice of being dishonest and
repudiating his just accounts ever
amount to a hill of beans. In the
commercial world they would 10:
get to the quarter pole. The sue
ceSsful business man think more
of his credit than he does of his
wife, for he knows that if his wife
leaves him he stands some show
of getting another one, but if his
credit forsakes him. he is up against
it. He can have but one credit. A
successful business gambler always
makes his word good and keeps his
credit inviolate. 1t is his only
stock in trade. 1t seems strange
with all this in mind, young fellows
will start out by beating little bills
will even borrow fifty cents from
friend and refuse to payit back
That class of fellows wear banner
that can be seen all over town and
everybody is onto" them. When it
comes to paying debts, honesty is
the best policy.-Bert Walker.

Cardinal Gibbons Opposes Woman
Suffrage.

Baltimore, Md, April 80 "A let
ter from Cardinal Gibbons opposing
woman suffrage was read at a mass
meeting here last night under the
auspices Of the Maryland AssOcia-
ton opposed to woman suffrage.
The cardinal said in part:
Equal rights do not imply that
both sexes should engage promiscu-
ously in the same pursuits, but
rather that each sex should dis
charge those duties which are
adapted to its physical constitution
and are sanctioned by the canons
of society.
When l depreciate female suf-
frage l am pleading for the dignity
of woman. | am cOntending for her
honor. am striving to perpetuate
those peerless prerogatives inherent
in her sex, those charms and graces
which exalt womankind and make
her the ornament and the coveted
companion of man.
she must remember that though
woman does not personally vote
she exercises the right of suffrage
by proxy. So powerful is the infiu-
ence which a sensible matron eX-
erts over her husband and sons
that they will rarely fail to follow
her counsel which comes from in
spired rather than labored reason
ing"

A Crazy Clock.

One of the inmates of a New

was sent to anadjCiningward to find
out the correct time. He returned

Time and the Kiss.

She was running across lots to
catch the Tsp train for New York
1t was precisely 1852 ~, and the
train was already painting into the
station. At her heels was a young
ster making as good time as he
could and he was crying. BY the
time she reached the station steps
she was a good hundred yards
ahead of the little boy, but he kept
at it, crying louder and louder.
The conductor was holding the
train for her.
Madam" said the conductor as
she climbed up the car steps who
is that little boyw
My youngest" she said, perfectly
breathleSs.
What's he crying for?"
Il didn't have time to kiss him
Good-by."
We'll, you get right off this train
and kiss him. We can wait better
than he can"
The conductor stood with his
hand on the signal cord while the
operation was performed, and then
the train went on, leaving the
youngster happy and smiling Elk

Plant Trees.

What DO we plant when we plant
the tree'
We plan the ship which will cross
the SCI,
We plant the masts to carry the
sails,
We ant the r!aik to withstand
the tales.
The keel. the keeIsoD, and beam
and knee;
We plant the ship when We plant

What do we plant when we plant
the tree?
We plant the houses for you and
me.
We plant the rafters, the shingles
the floors,
We plant the studdine, the laths,
the doors,
The beams, the siding, all parts
that be;
We plant the house when we plant
the tree.
What do we plant when we plant
the tree?
A thousand things that we daily
see;
We plant the Spire that outtowers
the crag.
We plant the staff for our country's
flag,
We plant the shade, from the hot
sun free;
We plant all these when we plant
the tree.

Major Has Disappointed Them.

Governor Major has disappointed
his critics in several instances re-
Gently. They charged him with Sc,
curing the passage of the utility
bill in order to build a machine for
himself. While the bill did not call
for a bipartisan board, he has ap-
pointed two Republicans as men,
bers of the board and three Demo-
Gratis. He vetoed the Standard oil
bill when it was predicted that he
would sign the bill and thus nullify
the antitrust laws in the state. He
has declined to call an extra session
of the legislature at the demand of
the insurance men and calls their
bluff by notifying them that if they
withdraw from the state they'll not
get back while he is governor. Well
done, Governor Major, you're all
right just as we expected of you.-

The Party Must Make Good.


l want everybody to realize that
have not been taken in by the
results of The last national election.
The country did nOI 90 Democratic
in November. 1t was impossible to
90 Republican be, ause il could not
tell which kind of Republican to 90.
The only hopeful and united instru-
ment through which it could de-
complish its purpose was the Dem
ocratic party. There are certain
things which we want done, the
country said, not certain persons
elevated. There are certain things
we want demonstrated, such as that
the government Of the UnitadStates
cannot be controlled by .riVale IL
terrets. Now the Democratic party
is going to have uy a. making
these things successful and if not
we're not going to have another
try. Woodrow WilsoH.
In the wedding ceremony today
people invariably put the ring on
the third finger of the left hand.
Why this choice? 1t has not always
been customary; OLD pictures Of the
Virgin Mary, such as Raphacl's
"Espousal," show the band OH the
right. There is a definite reason
for the modern convention Besides
being less used and therefore less
exposed to dangers, and being the
weaker finger and therefore symbol
izing the Wife's dependence, the
third digit of the left hand has been
supposed, from the days of the
Egyptians until this hour to be con-
nected directly with the heart by a
vein called the "vena armoris" This
finger, thought the anclents, resisted
disease longest; govt never attacked
it until the heart became affected
and then the pain in the finger was
the death sign; the alchemists be,
lieved it the quickest to give warn
ing of poison, and they habitually
stirred their potions with it. 1t
was indeed the finger of .iIe.-Ex.

MAY BE HEARD HERE
Efforts Being Made to Bring German
Socialist Leader to This
CITY.

II the German branch of the Socialist
rarty of this city is successful in its
efforts Phillip Scheidemann, one of the
most influential members of the Social
istic party in the German Parliament,
will speak in this city in the near future.
lie will discuss Socialism and affiliated
subjects, and also will tell his American
=ympathizers how to carry on the propa-
sanda in this country.
Phillip Scheidemann, one of the Social
st members of the German Reichstag,
who share now the power once welded
oy August Bebel alone. is the last man
one would take for a leader OF the So
called revolutionary wing of the party
which is making a turbulent demand for
he Prussian franchise rights.
He is a dignified German, not talkative
even in German, the only tongue he
speaks. He might be a member of a
faculty of letters, for he looks the stu
lent.
In general Herr Scheidemann admits
hat his mission is not So much to teach
socialist principles as to learn what he
an from the progress made by his COM
AIDES in the United States.
The German Socialist leader was
brought to this country by the German
anguage group of the Socialist party,
which has charge of the propaganda
work in that tongue. He found that the
committee looking after him had COM
oietely filed the days of his visit with
speaking engagements, which will take
