Maine MAY
HAVEHECTED
dem. governor

PORTLAND. Maine, Sept. ,15.-The
result of the stale elections, held yes
terday, are in doubt, with Curtis, the
Democratic candidate for governor,
slightly in the lead in the count over
William T. Haines, the Republican in
cumbent
The general vote shows great Repub-
lIcan gains and a tremendous falling
off in the Progressive strength. The
leading Progressive candidate for a
state Office po1led only thirty-seven per
cent of the vote cast for Theodore
Roosevelt two years ago.
The greater part Of the Progressive
strength has returned to the Republic
cans, that party polling total Of one
hnn6red and thirty-four per cent great
er than the Taft vote Of 1912. The
democratic vote shows gain OF If
teen per cent over Wilson's vote.
These figures are made up from In
complete returns.

GIRL WHO CHANGED COUNTERS.

On the day when she left the coun-
ter forever, Caroline Shipfey told her
experience to a number of school
girls and their mothers, interested, as
indeed any thoughtful person. would
be, in the narration of woman who
has worked. and who, as she has
worked, has thought.
Most of US have known each other
all our lives" she said, but you who
have not had any city experience per-
haps do not know how much more
fortunate is the average working girl
living in a small town than is her Sis
ter who works in the city. All of you
know my life-how my father was
clerk and bookkeeper and general
manager of the Royal Hotel. and how,

was stricken with that long, lingering

uncle who made an opening for him,

'Luella swan, one OF my best
friends. worked in Whites, then the
biggest store in town, but it was not
big enough for ner ambitions. Her
uncle was a buyer in a big depart
ment store in the city and he had
found her a position that paid her
more than twice what she was getting.
She used her Influence to get me her
old place in Whites store with a
wage of $500 a week. That salary
meant more then than it does now,
and it was much more in a country
town than it would have been in the
city, and it was infinitely more to a
girl living at home than it would have
been to one boarding. i insisted on
paying mother $500 week for my
board, because wanted her to have

LiIiuokaIani Receives Joseph NJ.
Grady, Who Greatly En-
Joys Interview
fBy JOSEPH VI. GRADY
(Staff Correspondent of the Denver
Post

Post.)
IBy Latest MALL
HONOLULU.-This forenoon ] had
the honor of being accorded a private
audience by Her Majesty Queen Lii
d. okalani, and while the mental notes
made during that most interesting
interview still are fresh in my mind, ]
hasten to transcribe them for the bene-
fit of Post readers who may be inter
aested in knowing how the famous
woman, who was once, in fact, as she
still is, in name and in the heart Of
her people. queen of these islands, is
spending the evening of her life.
The queen was born Sept. 2, 1888,
and is, therefore, rs years of age,
lacking one month, and, notwithstand-
ing the fact that her monarchy has
heen overthrow and strangers rule
her dominions, she still proudly signs
herself LiliuOkalani of Hawaii, -
which is recognized as her legal name.
As a rule the queen does not receive
strangers, and for the very good rea-
SON that most of those who try to
meet her are actuated solely and only
by motive of idle curiosity. There are
some tourists vulgar enough to regard
her as one of the curiosities of the
Islands and when refused permission
to intrude on the privacy of her ma
iesty's life, complain that they have
been cheated out of one of their
rights. Tourists sometimes leave their
good manners behind them when they
leave home, and this remark does not
by any means apply to American tour
lists only. The genus is about alike,
no matter what country they hail
from. j was fortunate enough to gain
an introduction to Col. G.. p. Iaukea,
native who has been attached TO the
royal family all his life; in fact, he
was educated at the expense of the
sovereign, both in Honolulu and
abroad, and he now is managing
trustee and treasurer of the Liliuoka-
lani trust and business representative
of the queen.
Uttermost Courtesy is Accorded Him.
Colonel laukea treated me with the
utmost courtesy and promised to use
his best efforts to arrange for an in
terview with her majesty but could
not set any definite date. 1t all would
depend, he told me, on the light in
which the queen viewed my request,
but as the two men who had given me
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-09-15

Her majesty spoke to me on many sub
jects, serious and otherwise, and al
ways without reserve. No, she INDUCES
in no regrets at having lost the sover,
eighty of the islands, she t3.l ne.
/" What was to happen did happen,

tainers and my people, ami am AZ.
corded the respect due my positIon nv
those who govern the islau-!S now.
And then, this man. she said, poiat,
ing an accusing finger at Colonel J1u-
kea as she smiled affectionately on
him, this man sets me tasks to per.
form which l cannot decline, because
they interest me. He leaves me no
idle time in which to dwell on memor.
les of the past, and so l have much,
very much. to make ME happy"
And then, when Irventured to say to
her, Your majesty, this man. and |
pointed to Colonel Iaukea as she had
done, 'tthis man is rendering You the
hest possible service in finding your
majesty congenial work; this man, -
and i again pointed to him, Gas you
call him, and she laughed softly,
Knows the Importance Of sound
mind in sound body, and
] know, and your majesty must know,
that it is from the wealth of his 10y
atty and love that he finds means to
keep your mind employed. a" Colonel
Iaukea then, as if in his own defense,
went on to tell ME of the task on
which the queen is now engaged. 1t
is that of compiling and TRANSMITTING
into English a great number of Ha.
waiian words of which she alone of all
her race has exact knowledge. Such
words as were used by members of the
royal line and by chiefs of the high
est rank-words which, when spoken
by them, were thoroughly we'll under
stood but never used by the common
people. As he explained these things
to me the queens face beamed with
pleasure, and with the enthusiasm of
girl she picked up the thread of his
explanation where he had dropped it
and added much TO what he had al
ready told me.

War Office Criticized For Failure 70
Note Changes in Conditions.

Correspondence of Associated Press.l
London Oct. 16.--Five shillings a
week to the soldiers wife who has lost
her husband in fighting his country's
battles!
With this exclamation one of the
leading London papers attacks edi-
torially the governments pension sys-
tenn which it says is due to the old
tradition summed up in Wellington's
assertion that his troops in the Span
ish campaign, were only "tEle scum or
the earth. The war office, accord
ing to the writer, fails to realize that
times are different now and the vast
majority of volunteers are men who IN
civil life earned good wages In fac
tory, field, office and shop.
Indignation has also been expressed
in parliament, so that it is not UNI
likely some reform in pensions may
follow.
In the British army the pay OF Of
ficers and men is dependent on the
regiment. There is no standard scale
of pay as in America. Commissioned
officers, as rule, receive sum inn
possible to live on-about S35 month.
They must have Independent means,
and in the crack regiments. such as the
Scots Greys or the Grenadier Guards
they must be wealthy, with polo ponies,
Wallets and expensive uniforms. But in
certain of the colonial troops doing
police duty in lands bordered by saw
ages, they get as good pay as Amer
lean officers and do not have to keep
up expensive establishments.
The ordinary infantrymen in thu
new volunteer army Of a million men.
pledged to foreign service, are started
off at $1.65 a week, clear Of expenses.
Married men are allowed IL addition
separation pay for their families at the
rate Of $3.50 week for the wife and
two pence day-or % cents week
for each child. In the county of Lon
don they are given q further sum OF
