"HITTlNG THE Big FELLOWS


There are two familiar ways Of raising POI
litical subscriptions, and the Republican county
committee, in securing fund of $1,000 for a
publicity campaign, may take its choice.
The first way is to Shit the big fellows as
it is commonly and appropriately known. The
method of "hitting the big fellows is a simple,
albeit somewhat mysterious, way of doing polt-
ical business. 1t consists in comforting with
some prominent Republican, who is also we'll
endowed with worldly goods the conference
of course being On ''the good of the party Dur
ing the conference, which is generally in some
private office, the visitor brings up the subject
of party finances and the ''big fellow is-separ-
ated from large contribution. In some eases
the contribution is voluntarily made but usual
~, confronted with the facts of a slim party ex-
chequer, the "big fellow comes through"
The other way is to distribute small assess
ments among the members of the party at large,
with the precinct club organization collecting
the money from the club members.
The Star Bulletin believes that the latter way
is preferable. eHitting the big fellows involves
. more or less secrecy and secrecy involves more
or less talk of "influences" that may or may not
generally s.come across with regularity and dis
patch, the method is not fair to them or to the
Hlittle fellows" The mere fact that man is a
capitalist should cutsno FIGURE in his influence
with the party. The Republican on a thousand
dollars year can be just as good Republican
as the Republican on twenty-five or a hundred
thousand year
To speak plainly, one of the reasons why a
good many Republicans on Oahu were alienated
last fall was because theybeiered thar the aver
age man stood little show 81 having his political
prospects cared for by the party organization
unless he was Endorsed by the men who put up
the main percentage of the campaign fund. That
this attitude developed was not the fault of the
~big fellows so much as the fault of the SYSTEM
that accompanied party organization which
has placed too much reliance ON @hitting" these
big fellows and too little on the members of the
party at large.
At any rate, the county organization might
test the loyalty of the precinct club members to
the party by fair attempt to- raise the funds for
this campaign from among the clubs instead of
from among the capitalists.
Corporation campaign contributions in this
teffltoFy are HOW oiliSidiiy Aio"heA upOn' VI
course the ssbig fellows" expect to be chit just
the same, and when the heavier expenses of the
1914 campaign arrive, generous checks, yolun,
tarily given, will no doubt be acceptable. How
ever, for this publicity campaign, we would like
to see the whole party asked for small individual
contributions, and we believe such plan would
greatly stimulate interest in Republican prep
aration for 1914.
The .dollar contribution" system has lot
of merit

NOT "LOBBYIsT"

sThe Senators who testified agreed upon adefini-
ton of lobbyist man who is hired to influence
legislation in matters in which he has no personal
interest. Senator Borah likened him to a man act
i've mot because he necessarily thinks his cause is
right but because he is like lawyer paid to argue
bad case-he tries to do the best he can" All the
senators thought the distinction would be in the
auestion whether the reilly interested or
hired TO be interested Extract from report of the
lobby probe
The definition of lobbyist certainly re
moves the representatives of Hawaii from criti
eisu, and President Wilson emphatically can
not stigmatize the activities of the Hawaiians as

The merchants association, in taking up the
.questioni of a postal savings hank for Honolulu,
should get in touch with Inspector Harry Hall,
who is in charge of the San Francisco postal di
vision, including Hawaii. Inspector Hall was
here few months ago and took deep interest in
local postal conditions Shortly after he re-
turned to the coast, he inaugurated the change
by which island mail is routed before it leaves
San Francisco, a change that means mail deliv-
cry an hour or two earlier than usual every time
a steamer reaches port Inspector Hall told the
starr Bulletin that he believed Honolulu ought
to have a-postal savings bank and that if suffi-
.cient interest were shown, we could get one. He
may be relied upon to do everything in his power
to help the city.

DOUBLE COUNTY'S
sunday SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION is URGED
COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL Assoc
CATION PLANS ACTIVE
CAMPAIGN. =.

An active campaign to double the
membership of Sunday schools in
Faulkner county is to be undertaken
this summer, according to County Or
ganizer G. E. Owen
Faulkner county, it is said, has
more than doubled in Sunday school
attendance with the past three
years, and this is doubtless true" says
Mr.. Owen. There are twice as many
Sunday schools, and the ones that
have existed all the time have grown
greatly in attendance. A number of
them have more than doubled in num-
bers. But there is room still for
greater growth. The attendance should
double again within the next two
years; and it can be made to do so
if we will all work to that end. AS
a means toward accomplishing this re-
suit, the County Sunday School Asso-
citation would like to organize every
township before the county convention
in July. The township organization
should see that every community in
the township has a Sunday school and
should encourage the Sunday school of
the township to be Jealous, active and
earnest in their efforts. Any Sunday
school or individual in the township
interested in this cause may call
meeting of the workers of the Sunday
schools of the township or arrange
for Sunday school rally in the town
ship and invite all Sunday schools of
the township to take part. At this
meeting the organization of the town
ship may be effected and plans may be
outlined for campaign in the town.

If any experienced Sunday school
workers are desired to take a part on
the program, such speakers may be Sc
cured by writing to either G.. E. Owen
or w. B. Owen, county organizers, at
Conway.

Rheumatic! i ! !! Blood
IS Whole Story
Wonderful Specific for Sci
atica, Lumbago, and a
Cure for Dreaded Ar
ticular Rheuma-
tism.

There is host of pills, powders, tab
lets and what not for rheumatism, but
they all lack the first essential to being
a natural medicine. To begin with, rheu-
matism Is simply a name given to desig-
nate a variety of pains, and can only be
reached by irrigating the entire blood sup
ply with a naturally assimilative aEtl-
dote. True, the pains may be eased with
narcotics or the acids may be neutralzed
for the time being with other acids. But
these merely temporize and do not even
lead to a cure There is but one stand
ard rheumatism remedy, and II reflects
the best thought of the day. 1t is pre-
pared in the great Swift Laboratory in
Atlanta, Ga, and sold in all drug stores
under the name of S. S. S. at $1.0O a
bottle.
Starvation has been advocated by many
as a cure for rheumatism, and yet S. s. 5.
accomplishes in fact what faddists pro
claim in theory and without the punish
ment of starvation. Hot springs and
sweating are often recommended, but
S. S. S. does all that Is expected of these
expensive and weakening methods.
1t is conceded by the closest students
of the subject that rheumatism is caused
in most cases by an acid condition of the
blood and aggravated by the remedies
commonly used for relief In other cases
TheuiiatlSlil 10 tiie ieSuI VI iSi 70 uopi %
sion; in still others it is the effect or
some scrofulous blood condition, having
been treated with mercury, iodides, arse
mic and other poisonous mineral drugs.
The recoveries of all these types OF
rheumatism by the use of S. S. S. is
wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy
of this remarkable medicine, for it is as
simulated just as naturally. just as spe-
officially, and just as well ordained as the
most acceptable, most palatable and most
readily dgested food. Do not fail to
get bottle of S. S. S. to-day. You Will
be astonished at the results If your
rheumatism is of such a nature that you
would like to consult great speciallst
