Casaday was member Of the Cello

After a careful survey of the Ha-

if the present tariff law goes into

THE tariff makes a. difference of
about $33 ton on raw sugar. The is
lands are producing 10000 tons, which
will sell for about S50,000,0O0. Under
the free sugar conditions the same
crop will bring $31, 900, O00-a loss of

met without disaster. The islands
will be crippled irreparably unless the
tariff schedule is changed"
Casaday also pointed out that the
decrease of the sugar industry would
also affect adversely the shipping in.

San Francisco, since the shipping

Army CHAPLAIN
TALKS TO MANY
men in empire

Christian Opportunity" formed the
topic of an address which Chaplain
William R. Scott of the I'd Infantry,
Fort Shafter, delivered in the Empire
theater Sunday, the occasion be-
ing the fourth of series of Sunday
night meetings for men being conduct
ed under the auspices of the local
Young Mems Christian Association
The meeting Sunday was large
ly attended by men of every national
ity and creed. Many sailors from the
battleshiLs now in port were in evil
dence. A special musical program ar
ranged by Prof. Carl Miltner, opened
the services, this being followed by
the audience and male Gee club.
The address by Chaplain Scott was the
first to be delivered by him since his
arrival in Honolulu. In part he said:
Opportunity is the proper time to
do thing to get the best results out
of it. What we need today is men who
will grasp their opportunities. On
every side business men are telling
you young men, get money, get money
if you want to be success but want
to say to you that it is not money that
the world is needing Gold will never
solve the problems of the world. Look
at the men who are striving the hard
est to get money. They are often
cross and grabbed in their home life.
and dishonest in business. Those men
need to be told that they can only
live once and that they had better
grasp the opportunity to live while
they are alive. Getting money is not
living. We had better have more bust
ness failures and bankrupt signs on
the doors than SO many men who are
dishonest. ~.
The kind of opportunity l am talk
ing about is that which We have on
every hand, that of helping men. You

tern looking for a man. We do not
need to do that. There are men on
every hand who are needing the help
we can give them. Honolulu and Oahu
are places of wonderful opportunity
because we have 50 many men of all
races who welcome any assistance we
can give them. The strength of the
army is not in its guns or officers, hut
in the fact that the men stand side
by side. ready to help each ether. And
that is true in all life We must seize

But whether ireland is-or was-Or

last night, is something that the pro
motionists on that picturesque island
should consider rather than the pat
rons of the Bfjou. The audience was
really too busy enjoying the operetta
and applauding to speculate on these
points.
Peg O. Kildare" is an unusually
brilliant comic opera with nothing
lacking in tune or wit or plot to put
it high up among the best vets. "
1t is in the combination or bend o:
the three elements-that is, the music
and comedy and plot-that do more

ton to make the operetta an eXtraor-
binary success.
And the Juveniles put it on swimming
ly. They put a dash and spirit and
bTogue into it from first to list, and
sang their songs remarkably well.
The audience showed it's approval
with loud applause.
The audience has changed since the
opening of the company's engagement
here. At last nights performance
there were to be seen many prominent
Honolulans, and the number of these
prominent Honolulans, attending the
Juveniles productions is steadily in
creasing. The followers of Monte

discriminating audience.

HALEAkALA To
HAVE REST HOUSE
ON THE SUMMIT

A permanent corrugated iron rest
house for the accommodation Of tour
list visitors to Maui who make the as
cent to the crater, is to be erected on
the summit of Haleakala if the pre-,
sent plans of Worth A. Aiken mater
ialize. Mr.. Aiken is entering into
the project upon his own initiative,
and now is in communication with a
local iron foundry regarding the ma
terial necessary and the probable cost
of the undertaking. ..~ ...-: g.. +.
For several years past Mr.. Aiken
has had charge of the transportation
by horseback of tourists making the
ascent to the summit CT Haleakala,
and recently reached the conclusion
that the present stone rest house is
inadequate from number OF view
points. On several occasions it has
been broken into and otherwise mis-.
used by parties who are not tourists,
and these parties, ii is said, generally
leave the place in condition unfit
for the accommodation of persons
who are paying for the experience OF
ascending to the Crater.
Mr. Aiken's plan, as outlined this
morning by recent arrival from
Maui. is to construct new rest house
for the exclusive use of tourists; one
which could be kept locked when not
in use The I'D stone rest house
would be left standing for use by per-
sons other than tourists. With more
adequate accommodations at the sum-
NIT Mr.. Aiken believes that a larger
number of tourists may be induced to
visit Haleakala. T..
1t also was explained this morning
that the board of supervisors of Maui
have plan now under consideration
which, if it develops, will result in
the building of a macadam highway
to the summit Of Haleakala 1t is
said that the Maui board now is en-
deavoring to secure for this project

son, through Mr.. Bryan, has stated that
a verdict for Giynn in New York would
be accepted in the nation as vote of
confidence in the Wilson administra-
ton.
II New York is called upon to give
Mr.. Wilson a vote OF confidence by
re-electing Democratic Governor, how
much more emphatic would be vote
from Tennessee which would express its
confidence in President Wilson by de-
feating Republican Governor and elect
ing a Democratic Governor in his place.
We reprint the Worlds editorial in
another part Of this paper. We urge
those who are for the national Democ-
racy to read it carefully and weigh care
fully the arguments that are made, and
we believe that, after doing so, they will
see the wisdom of supporting Rye and
WEIGH at the polls.
As the World says, victory for the
Democrats in November might have
international consequences. "A Presi-
dent Of the United States who has been
repudiated at the polls could not be ex-
pected to WELD much influence in Lon
don and Berlin, Paris and St. Peters
burg, Vienna and Tokyo"
When the time comes for the Presi-
dent to speak to the warning nations,
and we hope that it comes soon, his call
will be more far-reaching when it is
known that in every way possible the
American people have expressed their
confidence in him.
Let the State OF Tennessee uphold the
arms of Woodrow Wilson when he next
steps into the arena OF International
politics, and the way of showing that
we do uphold his arms will be to elect
Rye and Welch. - Commercial Appeal.

Mr.. Bryan, who is prime minister in
the cabinet OF one OF the greatest Presi-
dents this remarkable nation has pro-
duced, absolutely and by written pro-
nouncement decreed that all entertain
ments given by him wine OF every sort
should be eliminated.
He came to Tennessee and spoke for
Rye, knowing that in so doing he had
never violated one conscientious qualm
on the subject of prohibition. He
found it fixed institution in the State
and that the Democratic party was in
danger through the insiduous attempt
OF Republican Governor to secure
third term and fix his party ascendancy
upon State which is Democratic in
belief and by every fair right.
These two speakers, both members OF
President Wilson's Cabinet, both speak
ing for the President as we'll as for
themselves, dared to face the odium OF
b. w. Hooper and K. b. Stahlman.
They didn't seem to know that the lofty
idealists, think of it, these pure paragons
Of personal perfection and political
purity, would condemn them, or else,
they didn seem to care. They spoke
often and well and to the point. There
was no dodging, no evasion, no circum-
locution, no skipping, the issue; both
declared plainly, IL eloquently, that they
and Mr.. Wilson believed that it would
be best for National Democracy and for
home rule OF affairs that Mr.. Rye be
elected Governor.
Mr.. Rye and Mr.. WEIGH. the two
nominees for State offices, accompanied
the distinguished visitors. Both was
given enthusiastic approval by the
gathered multitudes. Mr.. Rye was,
next to Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Dapiels, the
chief speaker at the many gatherings.
He was forceful and eloquent, strong
and impressive.
As result, the managers of the CAM
paign, Judge Hill, Mr.. Dunlap, Mr..
Harmed, Mr.. Towe, all these and Others
who daily congregate with them feel
assured that the fgh. is already won.

Every declaration that Rye has made
has been definite and absolute.
Those who are sincere then for con-
dition where men will not have the op-
portunity of getting drunk can better
secure that condition under Rye than
they can under Hooper.
If Hooper should be elected, he and
the Legislature will be antagonistic, but
il Rye should be elected, he and the
Legislature will be bound by mutual
pledge, and there will be no opportunity
for evasion and equivocation. Mr.. Rye
is not of the evading and equivocating
sort.
The national Democracy, Woodrow
Wilson and William jennings Bryan
need vote Of confidence from Tennes-
see. They have right to demand this
vote OF confidence from the Democrats.
There is tremendous struggle going
on in this country now between the
forces OF genuine Democracy and the
forces OF privilege.
That campaign for genuine Democ-
racy is well under way under the leader
ship OF Woodrow Wilson, but it is not
yet finally won, and that Democrat who
refuses to assist in making the victory
complete is not true to his party and
not true to his countrymen.
Woodrow Wilson has already COM
manded following beyond the lines Of
strict Democracy. Recruits have come
into the party. 1t will be an unfortunate
thing if Tennessee gives verdict in
November which would permit the
opponents OF Wilson to cry out that il
he were not losing ground, certainly he
is not gaining ground.

it is high time, while holding
asst to what we have, to turn to other
hings.
This is not mere plea for votes for
Rye. The New York World, power
