To Help The Club

The Lihue Symphony Club is
an organization composed of some
of our leading, public spirited
men, who have for their object,
the furnishing of music on special
occasions, with no other eXpecta-
ton than the pleasure they drive
from their efforts, and that an i'm
provement be made in the class of
ordinary music. Since the members
are not out for monetary considera-
ton, it seems that the owners,
managers, or anybody in fact, con-
nected with the Lihue Hall, are
lacking i'll the proper public spirit
when a charge of five dollars per
month is made for the use OF the
hall rehearsals. The owners of the
hall should be only too glad for the
privilege ofallowing the symphony
club to practice in the hall. Of
course there are places where such
lack of interest for the progress
of community is shown. but such
place is necessarily so deeply
covered in moss that it would be
difficult to find it. Make the hall
rent high enough 10 keep out good
shows-at least showmen say Sc
if you will, but with our own
people, those who are engaged in
public benefaction, it would
certainly betray spirit of appre-
citation upon the part of the owners
of the hall, if they were to come
down off their money-making band
wagon long enough to do as much
for the public good as the sym
phony members are doing by grant,
ing them the free use of the hall
on practice nights. We should each
do his little part of public spirit
edness and perhaps Lihue might
spread over little larger map.

Keeping Out NeuOs

The best way to keep the news
of your party out of the paper
and therefore do as much as posi-
Bile to prevent an editor from get
ting up an interesting paper, is to
see him personally, and kindly re-
quest him to keep it out" Other
wise h is dependent upon out
siders for the information, and
there are times when the out
sider"--u n II II o nally of
course, gets things slightly twist
ed, resulting, in the editor being
blamed for that which he is not in
the least responsible. Items should
reach this Office not later than
Monday evening to insure their
insertion in the current issue. We
regret that some very interesting
social items reached US too late
for last issue. and would kindly
ask contributors to remember that
the latest that items can be receiv-
ed-unless arrangements are made
in advance-will be Monday even
ings.

member of Lihue's young social

to have her class days come each

Three children, (same family)
four lessons, S4.oo
Four children, (same family) four

Miss d e Bretteville has made
arrangements to cond uct her

is under way looking forward to the
formation of an adult class also
which would meet monthly. The
little dancing Mistress has been
asked to give the Prown-ups a
show as we'll as the youngsters
and we understand has consented
to form such a class providing
there is a sufficient desire upon the
part of the members of our young
social circle.
Those desiring admission to the
class will kindly arrange witt

opinion Is invited.

A Big Social Event

The Lihue teachers dance and
card party given at the residence
of Mrs. J. NJ. Lydgate last Satur-
day evening was e silly the social
event of the season. Lihue's society
turned out in full, and despite
that Mr.. Lent sat on the lid, the
festivities continued to the limit of
twelve O'Clock. Some say that the
clock was even backed ups but
this statement is not vouched for
Suffice to say that such a represen-
tative gathering has not been the
pleasure of Lihue's social circle
this season. Delicious refreshments
and sandwiches were served.

The Lihue Plantation is erecting
the poles which will carry the
wires from the big power house III

not much of strain on them once
they are set, the posts will last in

LAND LAW QUESTION

That the homestead laws ar
Inadequate for the needs of the
better class of Our citizens is DEM
onstrated i II the steps that e
being a zen by Representative
Sheldon i'll behalf O the home
steaders. However, the tax PROPOSE
ton is not where all the trouble
lies. The seat of the whole propo-
sition rests with the class which is
able but refuses aid to the desir-
able homeseeker for fear that the
latter will eventually draw OH the
formers labor supply. The efforts
which have been expended in
apparent favor of assisting t h
homesteader by some of the big
interests, if the truth were barred,
would probably show these same
interests as owners of the greater
part of the land which they would
like the public to believe belonged
to t h e homesteader. A scheme
whereby a laborer is allowed to
acquire a home of from five to
fifteen acres, with an advancement
of sufficient sum with which to
make Improvements, taking a
mortgage on the homestead for
said advancement, can have but
one end-the interests advancing
the money will become the ulti-
mate owners of every homestead
the owner of which is so unfortu
nate as to be so easily gulled into
the trap.
Under S Il h conditions, the
laborer homesteader is likely to
become dissatisfied with his luna,
or perhaps any one of many more
reasons may crop up which would
cause him to wish to go elsewhere,
in which case the interests h a
hold a mortgage on his little lot,
al ill simply close him out and
probably allow him enough money
to get to another plantation. There
fore, if the opposing interests can.
with the assistance of Gov. Frear
and his gang. ring in sufficient
quantity of such homesteaders,
and succeed in holding the acreage
to what it is today. it will only be
matter of time when there will
not be any homesteader nor
government land, and t h e real
honest efforts which have been
made in behalf of genuine home
steading will have amounted to
about as much as the chaff in the
wake of hurricane.
On the other hand. the middle
class homesteader has some means
to spare and goes ahead improving
his land, planting cane, pines or
any thing else that he thinks will
pay best. But, differing from the
present homesteader, he wants no
less than 80 acres of land. He ex-
poets to make his home on his
land, and therefore becomes fix
ture in the community, while the
laborer homesteader has such
small amount of land, that he is
afraid of his very life for fear of
losing his position, which would
naturally mean t h h e must
move on" for how could h e
make a living on such small
tract of land.
There 8 something radically
wrong with our present land laws,
or else there must be something
radically wrong with the manner
in which they are administered. A
petition is said to be in circulation
on the Waimea side in which the
Honorable Governor is asked to
take a closer scrutiny o t h e
goings on of the land department.
However, it is hardly likely that
he will now make any noticeable
changes, so late in h day. H e
has probably grown so accustomed
to the hammer that he will not
heed the warnings which Kauai is

attending public addresses of all
sorts for thirty years but never be-
fore has he encountered man who
put so much energy into his re-

he had been speaking two minutes
his audience was magnetized by
his eloquence and earnestness. The
regret was general that Judge AL
den did not have at least two
hours in which to present his snb-

were more impressed with him
