PUPILS TO SAVE
CROPS OF K0NA
School Commissioners Answer APP
peal of Small Farmers and Au-
thorize Change of School Hours
to Allow Children of District to
Harvest Coffee; Much Other
Business.

kona's coffee crop will not be al
lowed to wlthcr on the bushes and
blow away because of lack of coOpera-
ton of the school commission. The
crop this year is said to give promise
of being the best in many seasons.
With limited labor supply, the small
farmers of that prosperous section on
Hawaii appealed to the commissioners
few weeks ago to authorize change
in the school hours thus giving the
pupils an opportunity to go into the
fields and gather the ripencd berries.
In the event of the commissioners
refusing the request, it would mean the
taking of the children from school or
the loss of the greater portion of the
crop.
The problem was met by the com
missiOners yesterday when they voted
to give the superintendent of public
instruction authority to change the
school hours in the Kona district to
daily sessions lasting from seven-thirty
o clock to- ten.thirty o'clock in the
morning. This will allow for three
hours instruction each school day, the
same as under former conditions,
though giving the pupils ample oppor-
tunity to work in the coffee fields
Lahainaluna Needs Pupils.
Lahainaluna School camc in for con
siderable discussion yesterday during
the closing session OF the commission.
Tho enrolment at this school is said
TO be altogether too low. There are
accommodations for $50 scholars, while
the total attendance on June so last
was only lightweight. The commits.
sioncrs decided to begin campaign to
increase the attendance and Samuel

FIGHT AGAINST
PINKHAN|
STRONG
His Honolulu Friends Pulling All
Possible Wires for Him, How
ever-His Confirmation Seems
Less Certain Now - Senator
Williams Will Fight Him to End
BY Ernest G. Walker.

mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, August Z. - The
fight over l.. f. Pinkham' s nomination
to be Governor of Hawaii is warming
up little. Several letters have come
in from Honolulu, which Chairman Sha-
froth, of the senate committee on Pa
cific Islands and Porto Rico says will
be given due consideration. There were
three separate patches of these letters,
which the committee all but made pub
lie, it having been decided finally that
as it was executive business the copies
had better be withheld from the public.
Today Chairman Shafroth received a
cablegram, stating that more were on
the way, and he is disposed to wait till
these additional papers come.
Meantime Senator John Sharp Will
I liams has asked the committee on Pa
cifc Islands and Porto Rico that he be
heard in opposition to Pinlham. The
Mississippi senator says he will fight
the nomination as hard as he can, which
would apparently mean that it will, at
least, be some time before Il vote can
be had on Pinkham's nomination. Will
liams' strong objection is that Pink
ham is n Republican. Evidently much
Is 10 Dc maui VI tHib ptiviO INV
ate. One of the protests from Homo
lulu is said to have stated that Pink
ham was man of impossible temper
| ament.'
Pinkham's friends have not been en-
tirely idle. Some letters have come
from Honolulu and been delivered to
President Wilson. w. II. harrington
has written two or three in vigorous
terms, describing the attitude of many
people and various contingents in Ho-
nolulu over the nomination. Mr.. Far
| rington IS letters show that he is in very
happy mood over the nomination OF
Pinkham and that he expects great
turning over in Hawaii when Pinkham
assumes the gubcrnatorial office. Far
rington is pulling all the wires he
knows of, apparently to help Pinkham
through, and has been appealing to
friends on the mainland, including a
| friend ut Ada. Oklahoma.
On the surface it would seem as
though Finkham would be confirmed,
but there are some recent aspects of
! the situation which might make that
less certain. Representative Kent, of
California, is still working for Pink
ham and is helping toward his confr-
nation as much as he can. For the
present Pinkham is at Worcester,
, Massachusetts, with relatives and
| friends.

"Now," the manager complained,
"here is an interesting play; the star
is young, beautiful. and splendid
actress; the company is a capable,
well-balanced one, and the production
is excellent in every respect-yet it
is a failure. The people simply will
not become interested in it. How do
you account for it,"
q don't account for it." replied the
man with the high brow and the
wrinkles which indicated that he was
in the habit of thinking. q have
made rather careful study of the
public during the last few years. and
if you think talent, worth;ness and
general excellence are to be relied

waste of time to do any accounting
for the failure you mention"

E: AS a relic of historical interest,
as we'll as marking one of the pref
test spots in this section of the
country, it is to be hoped the move
.ment to have the old sugar mill
west of Port Orange put into a bet
ter state of preservation, will not
die natural death. Situated be-
tween st. Augustine and New Smyr-
ma, both of which claim to be the
oldest settlements in the United
States, and are preserving every rel
lie of historical interest to back up
those claims, Daytona should lose
no opportunity to prove this section
of the country also has a right to
be included in that portion of the
state settled by the Spaniards.
The growing popularity of the
daily band concerts is source of
much satisfaction to the men who

one of the most pleasing forms of
entertainment will be we'll advertised
throughout the country when the
tourists return north in the spring,
just as the fact that there has been
no kind of entertainment for visit

dicaps under which the city has lab.

band concerts have, to a large ex-
tent, taken away this feeling of

sented to another man as curiosity.
About year ago a man brought to
Mr.. Booth large rattlesnake
which had been killed. to be skinned
and stuffed. Inside the big snake
Mr.. Booth found II small rattlesnake .
and these he preserved in alchohol
in large bottle. Shortly afterward
he presented these to Jacksonville
that is the only way a newspaper
man can get snakes, and the man
took the collection, bottle and all
to his home in the metropolis. This
was last winter. Yesterday a man
fished that bottle of snakes out of
the Halifax river near the city dock
and returned them to Mr.. Booth. If

A recent issue of Everybody's mag
aHtne contains an excellent article
on "'Tips," by Richard Barry, who
goes very thoroughly into the sub
ject of the extremes to which tipping
is being carried in this country and
properly scores both the giver and
receiver of tips, yet advances no
remedy for the evil, for an evil it
has become. AS Mr.. Barry says, it
is an individual question and the so
luton must depend as do other mat
ters of morality very largely upon
the uplift of the ideas of the whole
people through the advancement of
the individuals. Tipping, he says,
/ was imported from Europe where a
class distinction exists and has no
proper place in this country where
men are supposed to be free and
equal, except in the case of the ne
| gro, who is the natural inferior of
4 the caucasian. To offer to your So
cial equal a tip is an insult and to
! take tip is to acknowledge yourself
the inferior of the giver, yet many
otherwise self respecting American
citizens are guilty of this form of de-
basement. There is really as much
degradation in the acceptance of a
tip by white man in this country
as there is in the sale of his vote.
Mr.. Barry notes also the inconsist.
ency of the tipping system which de
mands it in barber shop but does
not permit it in a grocery store, al
though the BARRIERS assistant and the
gTUcer's clerk are both rendering a
personal service for which one is as
much as entitled as the other for
personal recompense. The whole
trouble, lies m the mate selfishness
of man and the average American
is the most selfish of individuals
continually striving to advance his
own interests even by buying the
rights of others whenever possible
Selfishness, in fact, is the one great
curse of the American people, play
ing a strong part both in private
and public life, In politics and ever
in religion.
