Butler Elected Vice president. [.

1t is gratifying to note the suc-
cess of Columbus boys, and the
recent high compliment paid Mr..
J. H Butler as vice president of
the Alabama Branch of the Rail-
way Mail Association, is an hon.
or w0rthlly bestowed.
The association is a mutual
concern owned and run by rail-
way postal clerks. They write a
four thousand dollar accident pol.
icy, and pay Sl8 a week to a
clerk who is hurt in an accident.
The Alabama branch has 800
members, and it will be the duty
/ of Mr. Butler to pass on all of
their claims for death or acci-
dent.
This office comes without soici-
tation of Mr.. Butler and it is
pleasing to his many friends to
to know that he is held in such
high esteem by the organization.
Mr. Butler who for several
years past has been residing IN
Birmingham, will continue to
make that city his home.

BLUE BLOOD SHED.

The casualty returns from the scene of the
war reveal the fact that the blood of the no.
bility of Europe is mingling freely with that
of the peasants on the battlefelds, points out
the Vancouver Sum- Proportionately the arts
tocracy is contributing the largest number to
the toll of death. The bullets and shells that
NOW down the rank and file do not spare the
officers. There is no discrimination of birth or
position with these death-dealing missiles.
Nearly every able bodied man of the so-called
upper classes is engaged in the war either with
the land or sea forces Most of them are Off
GERS and the percentages of deaths among them
has been remarkably high, In the European
countries military service is compulsory, which
accounts for so many of the nobility being in
action. Although not conscript nation, the
best families in britain are strongly repre-
sented at the front. Austria, the haughtiest
of all nations has suffered the most, for her
losses have fallen upon the crack regiments
Germany, France and Russia are not much be-
hind and Britain has contributed her full quota
Should thew be prolonged the result can
scarcely be imagined. The death of "a young
man may end direct line of princes. Titles

lege and corresponding increase in opportn-
mites for the tillerso of the soil. !

SUGAR OUTLOOK GOOD.

There is substantial foundation for belief in
much improved sugar prices for 1915, a belief
Of course considerably heightened yesterday
when the New York market showed jump
frtln 3.51 to 4.01 cents after period of grow
ing depression
Advices published in these columns several
weeks ago pointed to a strengthening of the
market sometime before the first Of january.
While yesterday Is advance may be temporary,
there is still no reason to expect anything but
strong market early next year and probably
continuing for many months. S..
The European war is giving every indication
Of running well into next year. The utterances
Of Earl Kitchener Lord Churchill and other
British leaders, quoted his morning, indicate
that an early victory is not expected. From
heir point Of view, Germany has first to be
driven back into her: own Territory and there
attacked, program which means a protracted,
bitter and exhausting struggle.
Even if the European demand for sugar is
not such as to cause large expectations from
The United States, the situation viii be salts
factory one for the {. s. producers. The normal
American demand win keep prices up, in the
absence Of the inroads of foreign sugars threat
ened by the lowering of the tariff and its ulti-
mate removal
The industrial outlook for Hawaii is much
brighter than could hare been expected six
months ago. While there is no reason for a
scrambling, reckless speculation stimulated by
the prospects of higher prices, there is good
foundation for optimisu generally.

Sir: Kindly allow me space in
enc of your valuable columns In or
der that my appreciation for the most
wonderful and sweet, heart-touching
music ever was known in the history
which was rendered at the public con-
cert Of the Hawaiian Band In Emma
square last night. It was treat to
one and all who heard it and I am
positively convinced to; say for a fact
that who had not heard the Hawaiian
Band last night have really missed
something that they now regret.
The Hawaiian Band. under the lead
ership of Capt. Henri Berger, has
shown some novelty In music that he
and the good boys Of the band are
worthy ofsmy statements by which
the music lovers of this town should
also boost for the Hawaiian Band.
When the band struck up q piece
named Circus Gavotte,g which was
composed by Fliege, there and then I
noticed the novelty for the clarionet
solo. the. cornet solo and baritone solo
which was written to be prominent In
said piece, was produced In such q
manner that I cannot help but men
ticn 1t In this issue. The music was
soft and sweet and It was really being
elevated by the boys to the highest
standpoint. s.
