Denying Published Report, He
Says Municipal Efficiency

Regarding the report published this
morning that he is candidate for
mayor Of Honolulu. w r. Harrington
said today:
sNo. am not candidate for mayor
of Honolulu.
II have said and / do believe
that If | were out for political office
and had the time and money for such
public service, / would rather be mayor
OF Honolulu than to hold any other
position in the whole territory. | be-
lieve it by far the most important Of
fee in these islands. important be-
cause there is more work to do and
a mans sized task to tackle. 1t is
worthy the best that any man has in
him.
but my idea of the canvass for
the mayoralty is, presume, quite diff
ferent from that of my friend. L. An
#drews, who, | have been informed. is
the gentleman who has stated that
am a candidate.
IF l could afford to be candidate
for mayor, would cut loose from the
old time party lines and go before

ency for the Common Good with city
Jobs for the men willing to work and
absolutely nothing for the men who
won't work. absolutely nothing for the
men who can not or will not deliver

Il would preach the gospel of Mu.
nicipal Efficiency, win or lose. because
know that sooner or later that plat
form will win There can be no other
result A large number of people are
very much in earnest and waiting only
for capable and vigorous leader with
courage and initiative. I think the
time has passed when the people will
accept flub dub under the head of
politics. suggested program of Mu-
nicipal Efficiency to a collection of
Republicans during the last campaign
and they. in my opinion, did not have
the nerve to see it through. "
Il suppose my name has been men.

MANAGER, c. H.
ROWLAND, WILL
PILOT WHITE S0x

Chicago. Dec 1.-THE complete surprise
of baseball players. press and public,
Clarence Henry Rowland, last year pilot
of a team in a Glass B circuit, today was
named manager of the Chicago American
League club, conceded to be pennant
contester in 1915.
Many Chicago baseball followers mad
never heard of Rowland, but In profess
sional ball circles he was well known as
a successful manager of minor league
clubs Last season he managed the Peo-
ria team in the Three I League, taking 1t
from last place to second.
Rowland's arrival will be signal for
the retirement of James J. Callahan, who
will be appointed to some position con-
nected with the business affairs OF the
club.
The disposition of Kid Gleason, coach
and adviser to Callahan, was not given
out. but it was rumored he might be APP
pointed manager of the New York Amer
leans The shift in management, with
the appointment of Eddie Collins as cap
tain In place of Weaver, indicates a
change in the financial policy of the
White Sox.
Rowland is SO years old. His contract
as White Sox manager is for one year
and the salary was not announced

Kindly tell me whether the following
recipe for preserving pickles is. a good
one: 4 quarts of vinegar 2 ounces of
alcohol, l ounce of salicylic acid,
ounces of salt. Many people in this
neighborhood use this method.-(Un-
signed.)
The mixture contains approximately
0.S per cent. of salicylic acid. In our
opinion the practice of using this COM
pound Is reprehensible. We do not be-
lieve any housekeeper, to say nothing
of a regular manufacturer, has the
moral right to use a non condimental
preservative in foods. Salicyclic acid
is in disrepute for such purpose. As
a remedy for rheumatism and govt, IL
las its place, but this is no reason
why it should be used for preserving
pickles or any other like product.
