MAUI RACING ASSOCIATION
OFFERS $4,000 FOR PURSES
July Fourth Races Should Attract Many Entries
Hawaiian Bred Horses To Be Especially Catered
For-Cowboys Will Be Looked After

President. of the association, with
r. A. Wadsworth as vice president
and w. F. Crockett as secretary
The executive committee will an
nounce the tentative program one
week before the next meeting, SO
that members can have an opport-
unity to consider the matter and
vote as they please when the prize
money comes up for consideration.
There was some discussion on
the subject of giving a decent
purse for a cowboy race. Last
year the event did not fill OIL ac-
count of the small prize offered.
1t is suggested that larger purse
be given this coming Fourth.
Another matter that was brought
up was the proposal that a cup
should be added to a purse for
Hawaiian bred horses. 1t was
though that many owners would be
glad to race for a small purse, if a
trophy that could be handed down
to posterity, was offered as an
additional prize.
The executive committee will
get busy right away on the pro-
gram, and at the next meeting all
the events and amount of prize
money will be settled upon. 1t is
felt that the Maui Racing Associa-
ton should get out of debt and
the only way to do it is to offer
reasonable prizes so that there may
be a profit instead of loss, as has
for the past two years.

is not without her problems. We
hear that the pineapple crop is CO.
ing to come into the over produc-
tion class while sugar, it is hoped
will be as productive as last year.
Then there is the tariff and prohi-
bltion, all in a bunch, that makes
1t appear as though 1911 is to be
an off year. Overproductiveness
IN pines means that the growers
will have to sell cheap because over
productiveness is not n disease in
the canneries, so the only person to
be injured will be the planter and
his will be in adverse ratio with the
Gamers. The money will be in
circulation, but not by the horny
handed sons of toll. There are
good signs that sugar is going to be
all right in every respect, except
price, due to the tariff legislation.
PROHIBITION.

price of Brewery stock at rate
that causes the holders of shares to

All M aui
Victorious
Picked Team Beaten By 3 to
I Score Last Saturday
Afternoon.

On Saturday afternoon last there
was a ball game on the Wailuku
diamond, and the All Maui outfit
defeated the Picked" team by a
score of 3 to /. Bal and 'Pakai'
formed the All Maui battery, while
Foster and Alvin Robinson did the
twirling for the "Picked;" Louis
Soares caught for the brothers,
who each pitched half the game.
The game was just a tryout for
the players, and the regular teams
were mixed up, as will be seen
from a glance at the lineups. Car
reira, Bal and "Pakai" scored for
the All Maui, and Kama did the
needful for the other team.
There were not many fans at the
game, as Saturday afternoon is a
hard time for people to get away
from their Jobs, as a rule. How
ever, the spectators who were pres
ent, enjoyed the game and had a
good time.
The Picked" team was first to
bat and, for three innings, they
scored nothing. In their fourth
effort they made one run, and it
was Kama who did the trick.
There was no further scoring by
the bunch, although they looked
like doing something a couple
of times.
The All Maui bunch scored in
their second inning, through the
agency of Carreira. They repeated
the stunt in the sixth, when Bal
romped home and, finally, in the
eighth, added one more run when
Pakai" scored. The lineups and
score by innings follow:

Branching0ut

G. J. Schoening, the well known
manager Of the local automobile
repairing company, is leaving Maui
within a short time. He has sold
out to the Maui Vulcanlzing Com
pany, and that concern will now
embark in the automobile business.
The deal has been in the air for
some time past, and last Thursday,
it was brought to a head. Mr..
Schoening gets satisfactory price
for his business, and will probably
leave for the mainland in the near
future.
The Maui Vulcanizing Company
s branching out a lot, and while
still doing its regular work will, in
future, handle all the business that
goes with an up-to-date automobile
repair shop, and will also act as
agents for some well known machine.
1t is the intention of the directors
to house all their departments in
the building at present occupied by
the c, j. Schoening Co. Expert
repair men will be employed, and
owners of cars can rest assured that
only the best work will be turned
out.

The Irish Crisis.

The postponement of the home rule
question by the British ministry is
doubtless wise in view of the serious
strain now existing in Ireland result
ing from the conflict Sunday between
nationalist volunteers and the royal
troops. To attempt to settle the pres
ent gravely complex question at this
juncture would probably precipitate a
crisis. BY postponement the govern
ment gives time for the cooling of
passions aroused to fever heat by the
so called massacre of Dublin. 1t is
most unfortunate for the government
and the Irish people as well that this
incident occurred at virtually the crit
ical junctnre in the home rule adjust
ment One might almost believe that
the endeavor to land arms WAS de-
liberately timed to cause q conflict
that would halt all negotiations for
the amendment Of the home rule bill
to the end of a satisfactory exclusion
Of Ulster from it's operations. If 1t
was not designed thus it was certainly
most untimely as the general situation
was affected.
Inquiries have, of course. been start
ed by the authorities to determine
who was responsible for first the or
dering of the troops to prevent the
gun running. and next the firing upon
the mob. Already a disposition ap-

Ocean Flight Postponed.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Lieut.: Porte has concluded to wait until
October before making an effort to cross
the sea in hydro-aeroplane. and for
the soundest of reasons. 1t appears that
calculations of efficiency were at fault
and that the America by no means comes
up to expectations. The crucial matter
of getting out Of the water has been
settled, but only by adding another en-
gine. 1t was expected that this extra
propeller could be used only for lifting
purposes. but 1t offers SO much resistance
while idle that 1t must be kept in COM
mission, which means the consumption
Of more gasoline than counted upon,
more than can be carried for the entire
trip. and the plan of establishing relay
ship in midocean with supplies Of gaso-
line has been abandoned as impracticable.
Many persons look upon the scheme az
utterly foolhardy, and consider that sue
cess would be Of no value. That Is a
short-sighted view Of the case. All prog
ress has come through attempting the
hazardous or seemingly impossible and
almost every such effort has eventually
succeeded to the great benefit of the hu-
man race. This generation may not see
aerial transatlantic transportation. but
that 1t is coming may be conceded since
1t is now after all mere matter OF
detail.

the aegis Of the White House.
| Collector Malone seems to be the head
| of the movement. Mayor Mitchell is

] ordinates in the city government are
helping. But Mr.. Malone. young, am
| bilious. pushing. and twice recognized

present PLACES the most active ad-
vocate of a new local democracy. He
denounces the old democracy. and 1t
him. and the question of the hour re-
lates to how far, if at all, the admins
Itration is backing him.
There are complaints on the subject
OF patronage from other quarters. Some
Pennsylvania democrats are hungry,
and inauisitive about pie. The local dis
tributers and the distribution are not to
their liking, and their dissatisfaction
is reaching the White House Ordinarily.
Pennsylvania would not be in the demo-
cratic calculation. and would not be
now except for the bull moose demon
stration. Mr.. Roosevelt is the only demo-
cratic hope. If he and William Finn
can re1uce the protection note suffi-
ciently. Representative Palmer, whom
the President is supporting, may be
elected senator, and have opportunity
to vote for still lower tariff rates when
the Underwood law is taken up for re-
vision.
Will patronage, of itself, turn the
scale anywhere? Assuming that the
President is in a pleasanter mood
toward the politicians than at first
and as election day approaches he
seems to be-can he at this day meet
their wishes so as to save such as are
threatened in their campaigns, and ma
terially improve prospects for another
democratic House?
AS a matter of fact-"human' as this
demand for patronage is-the present
difficulties of the democracy do not
trace to patronage. but to other things.
Too much legislation shaped too much
under executive command explains the
situation. and will account for the re-
suit If the democratic party is defeated,
either positively by the election of a
republican House or negatively by the
loss Of many democratic seats, in No
vember.

The Government and Retail Trade

The protest by the Retail Merchants
Association of this city to Postmaster
Praeger of Washington against the
practice of officially advertising rural
dealers in food supplies whose products
,an be obtained through the parcel post
raises the question as to the propriety
Of the government undertaking such a
propaganda. This work is being done
by the post office in cooperation with
the Housekeepers' Alliance Of the Dis
trict. an organization formed for the
purpose of lowering the cost of living
by the adoption of economies and the
discovery of cheaper markets. Against
such an endeavOr no objection can be
raised and the end to which the alliance
Is aiming is altogether praiseworthy
II is. however, doubtful whether the
government should take a hand so
specifically in forwarding the trade of
individual producers by the official
publication of names and addresses.
The merchants of this city cannot
with logic object to the use of the
parcel post by consumers for obtaining
foodstuffs at cheaper rate than OBJ
tain here. but they do object to the
United States. in addition to supplying
medium of transportation, entering
upon work Of publicity which, now
confined to farm products that find a
market in the cities. can be easily ex-
tended to other lines and commodities.
The official publication of the post
pfiice can be made very useful in the
giving of general advice as to the use
bf the parcel post to bring the con-
sumner and the source of supply closer
together. by means of educational sug-
ecstions as to methods of packing, etc,
but to 20 beyond this point and in Off
rial bulletins to print the names of pro-
hucers would seem to be just the step
over the line that makes the govern
ment a gratuitous advertising medium
and brings it almost into the field of
retail traffic. a departure that can
easily lead to abuses and conditions
that Will seriously disturb business
conditions throughout the country 1t is
to be hoped that the protest of the
Washington merchants will lead to q
careful consideration of this whole
matter by the postal authorisies.

guilty Of indiscretion or bad tudg-
ment in dealing with the situation. II
may be that through such inquiries
and penalties the temper of the people
may be salved and quiet restored which
will give the government q chance to
work out some form of homo rule
compromise satisfactory to both the
Ulsterites and the na6ionalists. But
meanwhile the situation Is Of the
gravest character. with enmfty aroused
to the pitch Of open rebellion. In one
sense it is fortunate for the British
government that at this critical juno
ture attention should be distracted in
some degree from the Irish crisis by
the menace of general European war.

Maine.

In the news from Maine there are two
items of much interest. One Is that the
Panama canal tolls question Is under
discussion in the campaign, and the other
that the democratic national committee
Is pouring money into the state.'
The tolls question is ouble-barreled''
in Maine. Repeal of the law exempting
American coastwise ships from canal
duty hit the shipbuilding industry Of the
state severe blow. Hope was that by
the encouragement offered in the exemp-
ton law the Maine industry would great
ly benefit. There is much resentment on
that score at the Presidents course.
Then there is the same resentment felt
in Maine as elsewhere respecting the in
fiuences that controlled the President
Many believe they were of foreign char
acter, tracing first to the Canadian rail-
roads. and through them to the British
foreign office. This has been vigorously
denied in the Presidents behalf, but
nevertheless the belief persists. and en-
ters into the Maine campaign, and will
enter into other campaigns later. 1t is
giving the democratic leaders much con-
cern.
If the democrats ARE pouring money
into Maine where are they finding it?
Who are the angels? The railroad
magnates are not enamored of the party
Manufacturers are in a blue funk, and
some are strapped" Farmers are COM
planning Of the tariff. Merchants are
carrying small stocks and reporting slow
sales.
There is money In the country, but it
is not active Its owners are afraid to
put it out. Things are at a standstill,
and the blame, as always. happens in
such circumstances, is laid at the door
OF the party In power. The democratic
party being in power must answer for
drought here, excessive rainfall there
caterpillars and army worms yonder
More than once, the republican party
has been tried and convicted on the same
counts IN long indictment.
Angels in politics, like angels In
the show business, must believe there is
something in the venture for them. They
do not play the role for fun, funny as
the role sometimes is.
Who then with money in their purses
are subscribing to the democratic cam
paign in Maine? What is there in 1t for
them? What do they stand to win If the
democrats carry Maine, and on the
strength of the victory hearten the party
elsewhere for November and carry the
country then?
The story is not persuasive Your
political "angef' as a rule is canny. He
will take a chance, but he must see the
chance. He knows what Is expected of
him. and also knows the value of money,
and he must be Shown before he
''pours' his money into any campaign In
any quarter. If the democrats are rely
ing on money they have no ground for
hope in Maine.

War Clouds Grow Darker.

Today's developments in the Euro
pean war situation are distinctly un-
favorable. though they do not neces-
sarily signify the precipitation of the
general conflict which the world Is
dreading. Germany has declined to join
the proposed conference at London by
means of which Sir Edward Grey. the
British minister of foreign affairs.
hopes to check the conflict between
Austria and Servia and prevent its
spread to the involvement of other
powers. Austria has at the same time
refused to submit the question to such
a conference and continues in its war
work by advancing its troops into
Servia, at the same time delivering a
formal declaration of war and an
nouncing that no present submission by
Servia to the original demands will be
acceptable. These two refusas clearly
indicate cooperative spirit between
Germany and Austria. which was in
fact assumed at the beginning when
Austria presented its demand for COM
plete Servian surrender. The only fact
that weakens this assumption of Aus
tro-German understanding is that En-
peror William was cruising around the
North Cape when the ultimatum was
presented and was brought back to Ber-
lin by urgent summons when the situa-
ton became dangerously involved. 1t
is, however. asserted that the emperor
knew in advance of the ultimatum and
had before departure warned Russia
against interference
Hope still remains, however that
through international Intervention the
conflict may be prevented or at the
least restrained to include only Servia
and Austria. Sir Edward Grey is contin-
ing his endeavors in London. having re-
ceived favorable replies from France
and Italy and indications that in GER
tain circumstances Russia will join
such an international movement. But
the participation of Russia in a med
iatory effort is discounted to a large
extent by Germanys refusal. These are
the two powers upon which the issue of
peace or war on general scale rests to-
day. With orders given for the mobiiza-
tlon OF the Russian troops and the Ger
man navy it would appear certain that
both powers are preparing for conflict
and 1t will require the most skillful
diplomacy to prevent an encounter.
Russia's position in the matter is one
of extreme difficulty in that she is
morally pledged to the Slavic peoples to
protect them from Germanic and Aus
trian aggressions and she cannot we'll
afford to abandon this role of guardian
by the deserton of Servia at this
juncture. To agree now to restrict the
war between Austria and Servia means
nothing less than to permit the con-
quest of the smaller state, which will.
if accomplished, strike a mortal blow
at the Slavic peoples and destroy Rus
sian prestige in southeastern Europe
On the other hand Intervention in be-
half of Servia means a general Euro
pean war Involving all the major
powers. save possibly England.

Party and Patronage.

The democratic members of the House
from New York are fighting not so
much for patronage as for their very
lives Patronage has it's value, and
they want their share. Politics in New
York is of a thoroughly practical
kind. A shepherd must consider his
flock. and see that the pasturage is
nourishing.
But the larger question before these
edemOcratic leaders relates to a con-
fessed purpose on the part of certain
of the Presidents friends to put them
out of business. and put into their
places men altogether subservient to
administration influences. In other
words, there is a movement to disrupt
