ROOSTER FLOCS
BABY in EYE
Eighteen Months Old Son Of
Clyde McMahan is Seri-
ously Hurt.

Mitchell, the eighteen-month' old
BABY of Circuit Court Clerk Clyde Nc
Mahan was logged ay big Rhode
Island Red Rooster Monday morning,
and one of his eyes badly injured, ii

just learning to look after himself,
went into The back yard of his home
with piece of bread in his had. This
bread attracted the rooster and when
the child held it away, the rooster be.
gan to fog, and before the child's
mother. who was but short distance
away, could reach the spot, the spurs
had made four or five marks about
the child's eyes.

HEN MOTHERS
TWO KITTENS

Sheriff Dawson is authority for the
story that in the Fall of 1912'a stray
cat came to the Jail and took up it's
abode in the chicken yard. 1t refused
to stay at the jail, as no charges had
been preferred against it, and contin.
ued to feed with the chickens. Some
time ago she disappeared and was not
seenagain until last week, when Mrs
Dawson went into the chicken lot to
see how two hens were getting along
which she was expecting to hatch soon
and her surprise was great, when she
lifted up one hen and found beneath
her kitten, and in the next nest she
found the other hen very composedly
mothering another kitten, while the
cat was curled up in the nest also.

different view of the question 1 do not know
that lie has anywhere summarized his objections
to recognizing General Huefta, but presume
they are not unconnected with the assassination
Of Senior Madero and with the fact that General
Huerta owes his present position, not to popu
lar election, but to an act of military usurp'stOn
thinly venecred by constitutional forms. There
is no doubt that he climbed to the>presidencs by
the conventional Spanish-American route. He
deserted Madero last February and so brought
about his downfall, and American opinion has
fixed upon him the chief responsibility for the
ex-presidents murder. AS to that it is enough
to remark, first that the generals completely has
been repeatedly denied and has never been es-
tablished, and, secondly, that there is an end OF
all rational relations with Spanish American re-
publics if the actions and language of their poll
ticians are to be judged by the standards of the
EDglishspeaking peoples, =
Whatever the defects of the generals title to
his effice-I believe as matter of fact that a
court would decide it to be perfectly valid ac-
cording to Mexican law-the fact remains that
he has for six months defended it sue
cessfully and by methods that seem to
be equally removed from the weak indeei-
.siveness of Madero and the high-handedness of
Diaz. That is fact which, in the opinion of
British onlookers, ought to count. That it has
not counted with the authorities at Washington
is ascribed by some observers to the influence of
commercial and financial interests, and by 9TH

4 RECORD TO BE PROUD OF

{ /. : 80 = as ( I.
All Hawaii is proud of the fine record made
by the two baseball teams sent from the islands
and just returned today from a long tour on the
mainland. Not only have the All Chinese and
the All Hawaii mines played good baseball while
away, but they have played clean baseball and
on and off the field they have conducted them
selves in such manner as to be a distinct credit
to the territory. There has come from the main
land not one whisper of rowdyism or anything
like it; nothing but praise for the lads and their
conduct And this record is much more worth
while than a. high percentage Of games won.
The ball teams are splendid advertising me-
diuns for Hawaii. We hopesthe time is not far
distant when the Promotion Committee can at,
ford to make more systematic use of these
touring teams to advertise the islands and their
charms, paying part of the expenses of the ball
players. 1t will be money well spent.

Republican leaders Of the territory who are

rules that the choosing Of territorial and county
central coInmittees in the future viii be on e
These committees are now and have been for
many years practically close corporations. The
system is not the fault of any individual or set
Of individuals, nor is it the fault of the party SO
much as OF the old way Of doing politics On the
basis Of secret caucuses, deals trades and con-
ventions But 1t is q system whose wiping out
was aimed at by the direct primary law, and to
comply fully With the spirit Of that law, the Re.
pablicap party should change entirely the meth.
Cd of choosing these committees. 81,
The Republican party in Hawaii is not dead.
It sustained severe defeat at the last election.
TO regain the confidence of the electorate it is
absolutely necessary that the party reorganize in
full view Of the people. Its leaders should dis
cuss with the voters their plans and aims; they
should counsel with the people as to the best
course to pursue.
All over the country the big men Of the Re.
publican party are preparing for the radical re,
organization that must take -place The New
York state convention showed this plainly. The
Republicans of that state in the convention de-
clared in favor of changing the party rules SO
that each state may determine its own method of
choosing delegates to the national convention
and 50 that states that give the big Republican
pluralities sbaIl have proportionately large pow
er in selecting candidates for president. For this
purpose the New York Republicans call for
special national convention at an early date.
The proposition and its subsidiary question
developed the biggest fight of the Republican
state conventions. This struggle was staged
however, before the committee on resolutions
There the issue was fought out with United
States Senator Elihu Root, former Secretary of
War Stimson and Nicholas Murray Butler, pres
ident of Columbia university, as chief supporters
of the proposal, and William Barnes, Jr., nation
al committeeman, as it's strongest opponent.
The resolution finally was approved after the
original measure had been amended to recon-
mend the retention of the congressional district
as the basis of representation. ~ ..-
Later the resolution was adopted by the con-
Yention. 7
