AFTER A WHILE
LANE WILL SPEAK.
By Ernest q. Walker.
(Mail Special to The Advertiser

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, March 10. - The
campaign for the governorship of Ha.
waii is on. AS Honolulu people already
know, Gilbert ]. Waller, one of the as.
pirants, has been in Washington. He
paid his respects to President Wilson
but had little or no opportunity to talk
about his aspirations, as there is An
order barring office seekers from pro.
scouting their claims before the Presi.
dent himself. Mr.. Waller also had "
few words with Secretary of the In.
terror Lane and then went away home
to Honolulu.
The claims of "Link" McCandless
have not been ignored by his friends.
John III. Wilson has been here, urging
Secretary Lane to name "Link'' as
Governor Frear's successor and this
very day Hugh c. Todd, national com.
mitteeman from Washington State, led
a delegation of northwestern Democrats
to the White House to speak good
word in "Link 81 behalf. They also
asked that Palmer p. Wood be nomi.
mated to the senate for secretary of
the Territory.
After a While.
The new administration is n little too
busy yet, however, to give very close
attention to the selection of Governor
for Hawaii Secretary Lane says that
he hopes to be able to take the matter
up after while but can not do so
until he has attended TO matters Of
reorganization in the department.
No one can say yet what the outcome
of the campaign for the governorship
will be. However, Secretary Lane is a
man of fine character and excellent
ability and his disposition will be to
select n capable Democrat for Governor
of Hawaii and TO recommend TO the
President that that man be nominated.
He will undoubtedly conduct extensive
inquiries before he makes up his mind.
Mr.. Lane lived for years on the Pa.
cihc Coast and as resident of San
Francisco Is not altogether unfamiliar
with conditions in Hawaii.

WHAT YOUR NAILS REVEAL

II is always amusing to speculate on
the character of ones neighbor'
very simple aid in SO doing is to watch
the nails. II man or womans mans
are long and slender you may be quite
certain the person is not so ROBUST
physically as the possessor OF short
broad nails.
Whereas men and women with the
long. or narrow type of nall are In
yeterate Missionaries. those having
short nails are almost always conspic.
uous by the strength of their logical
powers. 1t is the latter who make the
best and most reliable critics.
A further and almost certain charac'
teristic of long-nailed people is their
intense depreciation of themselves
and their own efforts in any branch OF
work. The feeling almost amounts
to pessimism with them. Such point
OF view. however. seldom worries those
possessing short nails-in fact. more
often than not rather the reverse Is
the case: they are inclined to be over
sure OF themselves.

an S-ounce fly rod. weighed $50
pounds. and measured six and a half
feet 1t took three hours to conquer
him, during which my boatman was
worn out by the need Of keeping the
canoe near the tarpon.
Our catch during the trip was as
follows: Fifteen days at Boca Grande
Pass, "a tarpon; fourteen days at Cap
tiva Pass. Sc tarpon; eight days on
the Caloosahatchee river, 35 tarpon;
three days at Marco, Ia tarpon; five
days on the Harvey river, 25 tarpon:
two days on the Broad river. IL tar
pom; three days on the Hueston river,
80 tarpon; five days on the Turner's
river, Sc tarpon. and two days on the
Aliens river, II tarpon. That gives
total catch Of 334 tarpon In fifty-two
days.
Between the above passes and
streams are others in which tarpon
abound. They can be found scattered
through the broad shallow waters and
deper channels of the whole great
Ten Thousand Islands.
To object to taking a tarpon for
mounting, or other rational purpose.
would seem fanatical, but wantonly to
sacrifice these beautiful creatures,
after they have added so much to
your pleasure, is causeless cruelty
They can be measured without harm
ing them, and the cube Of their length
in feet, divided by two. gives their
weight in pounds as nearly as need be.
No trust controls tarpon fishing. No
sport on earth offers greater legiti-
mate excitement. And half the glory
of the game is its humanity.
