After business associations with each other covering a period of near ly a quarter of century, a diVfston of the Parker-Davenport company in- terests has taken place and will go into effect on May 1.
 F. b. Parker has taken unto him. self the Crocker house. of New Lon don and will hereafter conduct that hotel independent of the Wauregan house in Norwich.
 The future affairs of the Parker Davenport company in this city will be managed by H. B. Davenport. who has associated with himself in the ownership of the property, Joseph c. Bland who has been connected with the Wauregan hotel for the past twen- ty-f1ve years.

 Giles Potter, who receives a pension of $750 g. year, was for many, years con nected with the state board of educa- ton as an agent to see that children attended school.

The Waikiki reclamation scheme has been
drafted by Superintendent of Public Works
Forbes with the strong approval of the gov
ernor, who years ago saw the possibilities and
the necessities of improving this section of the
city and draining its wet lands Within recent
years. the stream that empties into the ocean
has become more and more obnoxious and
simultaneously the crowds of bathers have be-
come larger. Another year should not be all

A NEW SENSATION.

DIR. Purley A. Baker, national superintend-
ent Of the Anti Saloon League, received a dis
tinetly new sensation on his visit to Hawaii.
He found the children of the public and pri-
yate schools imbued with patriotism of a pc,
culiarly vivid kind In every public school he
say them-white and brown and black and
yellow, Caucasians, Polynesians, Malaysians,
children of Europe and children Of America
and children of the Orient rise and salute
with obvions enthusiasm and sincerity the
Stars and Stripes, sing Americas patriotic
songs, repeat the words that stand for love Of
country and honor Of nation.
sInevef sawsin the states children sing our
national hymns as yours of Hawaii do; they
know the songs better than the youngsters Of
the mainland never saw anything like the
spontapeity Of their salute to the flag. said
DR.. Baker, and his travel companion, j. "A.
Metcalf added his own Endorsement s
There area good many people on the main
land who would profit BY visit to the islands
whose conception Of Hawaii would be mate.
rally changed incidentally, it is worth while
noting that DR. Baker was materially i'm
pressed with thesWide scope Of public and pri-
vate welfare work carried on in Hawaii, and
agreed with the conviction of those in Hawaii
who know. that no plantation, for instance,
could under free trade in sugar continue the
present large expenditures for welfare work
among the employees.

olry SUPPORT FOR THE pIAvoRoUNDs


Support and to some extent direction of

ing to see that the board of supervisors seems
entirely ready to help the Fairgrounds move

Some mention was made last night that the
Republican platform pledges the supervisors
to aid the Fairgrounds That is true, but the
political factor is subordinate, and rightly 50,
to the social welfare consideration. Honolulu
doesn't want the Fairgrounds Gin politics. =
We assume that the supervisors don't for a
minute intend to put the Fairgrounds in poll
tics--that is, in patronage politics.
For wears the Fairgrounds have been oper-
eted and developed under private organize
tion. Ii has done splendid work. Until the
city IS further advanced toward department
of public welfare, or something Of that sort,
4 win be wise to allow the management of the
backgrounds to continue along the present lines,
