Nomination Papers Filed BY

Fearing the new primary statute
may be declared illegal by the su,
preme court. Delegate jonah Kunio
Kalanianaole hastily circulated no
minating petition last Saturday and
caused 1t to be filed with the clerk of
the territorial secretary's Office late
that afternoon. The petition carries
the precise number of signatures re-
uuired by the old law, and makes his
nomination just as though the recent
primary never had been held.
Some political prophets are contend
ing that the new primary law did not
repeal any provisions of the revised
laws. which make the following stipuS
iation concerning the nomination of
candidates: ...= . ..s

not less than thirty days before the

such nomination shall be deposited
not less than ten days before the day
of any election" -"
1t is thought now that all candi-
dates whom the recent primary pur-
ly file nominating petitions, to guard
against the contingency which will
arise if the primary law is found null
and void. The time limit in which
these could be filed, for candidates of
the other islands, expired at midnight
saturday, and only one candidate,
ported to have nominated vii formal
Evan da Silva. legislative candidate
from Hilo, exercised the foresight to
get his nominating petition in before
that date. On Oahu the aspirants will
have until ten days before the No

expiring midnight of October "a.
Should the supreme court find the
primary statute unconstitutional a
general mixup is certain to result and
some special arrangements will be
found necessary to get the requisite
of names on the ballots.

sPork Barrel, Tn Again.

The Democratic administration
members of Congress seem bent on
passing an additional rivers and har-
bors appropriation to the amount Of
forty million dollars. 1t is claimed
that their motive is to. provide for
the "pork barrel. In view OF the
fact that a special war" tax is being
imposed to the amount OF $107, 100000
y year to meet. deficit in the ma
tiona1 treasury caused by the Demo-
cratic tariff and unprecedented ex-
penditures, those who purpose to
make this additional appropriation
show disposition to spend the peo-
pies money rather than to save It.

may be needed but the national A.
nances are SO crippled as not to JUS
tify enormous expenditures for them
now.

be hoped that the PORK barrel" will
be eliminated from the acts Of Con-
gress as successfully as it was
brought to- "a halt by the recent Re

clover.
The question whether lime should
be applied to the soil as quicklime,
Migrated lime, afr-slaked lime, or
ground limestone is still the subject
of q great deal of controversy. The
advocates OF ground limestone claim
that the caustic properties Of quick
or, hydrated lime will burn up and
destroy the organic matter in the
soil, whereas limestone can be ap-
piled in large quantities at long in
teryals and will therefore produce a
more or. less permanent fertility. The
advocates of lime claim that one Of
the main functions which lime has to
perform Is the destruction Of the or
ganic matter and the liberation Of the
nitrogen in such q form that the
plant can use it; that the frequent
and judicious use of lime, together
with some organic fertilizer, will
bring immediate results. OF course
the local conditions OF each particular
case must be considered before a final
conclusion can be reached. Thus, 1t
is rational to use quicklime on soils
which are exceedingly rich in organic
matter, such as peaty or swampy
soils. Limestone is safer than quick
lime when applied Just before plant
ing a crop which Is little helped by
lining, or when applied to light
sandy soil in hot. dry weather.

three days to reach Suez at the

was impossibfe, ands,for vessels

the great storehouse Of Indian
wheat could be drawn on by
Europe for bread, for on ac-
count OF the tropic heat and the
weayii wheat could not be
shipped by way Of the Cape.
Yet on the other hand the large
shipment Of grain from India
has contributed to the causes Of
the frequent famines there.
The canal company charged 10
francs per ton for toll. Though

and continued to run behind for
some years. The canal from

BIGGEST OF TRAVELLING cAcrI.

The management of the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco
claims to have upon its grounds the
largest giant cactus ever removed
from the scene of its birth. AS this
cactus is unusually bulky, and since
people outside of the cacti zone have
not INDUCED themselves as much as
they might 81 the game OF moving
the giant prfcklers, the claim Of the
exposition officers is likely accurate.
The Travelled cactus has been placed
upon the parapet about the Zuni In

grounds. a
Besides the big fellow, several
other large cacti have been brought
to the fair from their native Arizo-
ma desert. The tallest plant is
thirty-fye feet in height, and carries
the respectable weight of $500
pounds. The next largest weighs
some 500 pounds less. Considers
able planning and care were neces-
sary in the digging, boxing and
transporting the cacti to California.
The assemblage of these plants cost
more than $4,000. The Indian yil-

unseeinly Marriages..

Bishop Courtlandt Whitehead, Of. the
Episcopal church, whose residence is
in Pittsburg, deserves hearty COM
mendation for the stand he has Just
taken there in opposition to the pub
lie celebration OF marriage as one
OF the features of the Forthcoming
opening OF a bridge in nearby
town. Other clergymen have enlisted
in the protest and are equally de-
serving Of praise, but the bishops
lead IN the issue gains him chief
credit.
Bishop Whitehead's protest was
made. quite emphatic by a letter writ
ten by him to the secretary of the
Bloomfield, Board Of Trade, as a re-
suit of which the officials Of that
BODY, which will have charge Of the
bridge dedicatory exercises, have
washed their hands Of the whole at
fair, although they say they cannot
prevent people from getting married
where they choose.
The bishops letter, as follows, is
sensible, quito to the point, and car
ries a strong Lesson to those who
sometimes think that marriage as an

Bloomfield Board Of Trade may have
taken with regard to the ceremonies
connected with the opening OF the
Bloomfield and Heron Hill bridge;
and absence from the nity has pre-
vented my communicating with you
before now. But wish to enter an
emphatic protest in the name of all
the Episcopal clergymen and people
OF this city, and representing, as ]
believe, the sentiment of all seriously
minded Christian people, against
making marriage on the bridge at

Marriage is so dignified and sac
red, that no reputable people, as we
believe, can properly lend themselves
to its use as a spectacle to attract
attention, or to crafty the irrever-
emit taste OF thoughtless people. All
good citizens have right to believe
that so honorable a body as that
which you represent, will heed the
protests OF those whose feelings will
be outraged by such an unnecessary

Agricultural Use Of Line.

The use OF lime as u fertilizer,
according to the United States Geo
logical Survey, dates from the in
sception of modern scientific farming.
Agricultural chemists have shown
that there are five or six different
functions which lime may perform to
bene1t;sa soil, which may be summar-
lied Briefly as follows:
4. 1t is an essential element Of
plant food.
caying organic matter into hunius.
g. 1t forms compounds with the
humic acids which tend to prevent
their being leached out of the soil
and lost.
4. BY producing proper sanitary
conditions the growth of injurious
bacteria is largely. prevented, while
the growth OF nitrifying bacteria is
encouraged. These nitrifying bac-
terra convert the nitrogen OF the
humus into such a form that it is
available as plant food.
.. Lime aids in the liberation Of
potash and phosphorus from inert
compounds. ,s4ss..
g. 1t tends to flocculate clay soils,
rendering them granular and more
porous.
Obviously, permanent results can
not be expected unless cere Is taken
to insure the presence of some or
sanic fertilizer at all times. Lime
i,sed alone may be temporarily bene-
fetal but will eventually be harmful
when used with cowpea vines It be-
comes more efficient for general pur-
poses than almost any other fertilizer
OF course, lime is not beneficial to all
crops to the same extent, and not all
soils need lime. Thus, some Of the
common plants which are stated by
the department of agriculture to be
benefited by lime. are spinach, let
tlice. beet, celery, onion, cucumber
cantalcupe, asparagus, cabbage, pea
nut, rhuharb, pea, pumpkin, bean. to-
bacco, alfalfa, clover, barley, wheat
oats. timothy, gooseberry, currant
orange, ounce, and cherry. Indian
corn ls only slightly benefited.
Plants which are said to be slight
ly injured by lime are cotton, tomato
cowpea, concord grape, peach, apple
and pear. and these really injured
are radish, fax, blackberry, black
raspberry and cranberry,
Whether soil will respond to lin
ing or not depends on the amount oil
available calcium oxide which it al
ready contains. Probably the best
< indication Of the need of lime is the
failure to obtain a good crop. Of

and width OF So meters at the
bottom between Port Said and
the Great Bitter Lake and from
the Lake to Suez an average Of
a 1-2 meters. TO make these

not been made within the last

The Suez can now pass great
steamers drawing a depth Of 2S
to 30 feet OF water and with
their eearch-lights they may
easily navigate the canal at night
and pass each other at many
points. The passage is now eff
fected in 16 hours. The inn
provements entailsd an expense
that caused the French Canal
Company, q large number Of
whose snareS were netd DyF the
khediye Of Egypt, to lose control
Of the canal to the British gov

Withdrawn from Egypt; Great
Britain In 1904 agreed fully to
the stipulation that the canal
should be a neutral highway dur
ing wars as we'll as during peace.
Had this agreement been in Of
feet In 1898, Spain could have
used the canal to send her heavy
,ieet to Manila to attack Dewey.
Russia In her war with Japan
used the canal to send her Bal
tic fleet to the China sea. The
canal toll is. now $1.2e per ton
the same as that Of Panama. In
