year and $4,000 fine imposed on Pat
terson, was accepted by Patterson's
friends and by some of the officials
who prosecuted him as the final step
in the case.
Though the federal courts decision
held Patterson and the twenty-six 9th
er National Cash Register company
officials, who were indicted with him,
as guilty on one count-that of con-
spring to violate the antitrust law,
it was held that there was no specific
instance of maintenance and con-
tinuance Of monopoly.
Patterson was enroute home from
Cincinnati tonight. He was in court
when the decision was read.
I'VE hope now to be allie to give
undivided attention to our business
and take advantage of the great pros.
rerity saon to break on the country"

CoDDL1NG THE STOMACH
The so-calIed Scientific" Feeding.

In this goth century OF advance
ment, people are too apt to listen to
new theories and put into practice
new-fangled notions of feeding. Not
only do adults follow so-called
scientific systems but they cram
down the mouths of their children
such scientific soft foods that require
no exercise of the digestive organs,
and the children are apt to become
fragile and their stomachs too weak
to take in strengthening food ami
be able to assimilate 1t. This is q
dollhouse condition that no man, wom-
an or child should permit. The mus
cles of the stomach require exercise
Just as any other muscles OF the
body; neglect them with too much
ease and inaction and you raise dys-

cinal herbs which will stimulate the
stomach to greater activtty-a rem.
edy which will do this is one which

ENFORCING THE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
LAWS. r."

The supervisors have taken a stand in the
Lusitana improvement matter which is worthy
of general commentator. They have refused
to exempt this particular section of the city
from the operation of the frontage-tax law and
will put through the paving on the local i'm
proyeme1t basis, each property owner paying
his share.
Some owners in the section say that the sup
ervisors made prediction promises not to en-
force the frontage-tax law in this case. The
Star Bulletin does not know of such promises
but the Star Bulletin does know that in meetI
ing after meeting during the last campaign
every Republican candidate for supervisor
went upon the stump and pledged himself to
fair and impartial enforcement of the local
Improvement laws That was his guarantee Of
good faith to the community in general and
without violating personal and political honor
no supervisor can now vote to exempt any one
section from the operation of the law which is
meant to apply to all.
We do not believe that the residents of the
Lusitana district as a whole expect special
fayors All they want to secure is an assur-
ance that the law will be enforced everywhere,
and that every district must pay for its own
improvements. 1t is largely the fault of the
supervisors themselves that there is some doubt
as to whether during the present year the
frontage-tax law has been impartially applied
The delays in some districts, the legal action
brought by Manoa citizens and the private ut
terances of at least one member of the board
have created some suspicion that certain dis
tricts might get certain favors. Now, we are
glad to say, the board appears to be taking al
firm stand. As soon as it is recognized that this
stand is to be permanent, the sections DESTROYS
Of Improvement will be ready to pay on the
local assessment basis

HINTS "HUMPY" MIGHT
HAVE cHUCKED CHEFA
TICKET INTO BARREL

1t Is a remarkable coincidence that
every time "Humpy" Yong. a Chinese
informer, finds q chefa gambler-for
10 per cent Of the possible proceeds
offered by the police the incriminat-
ing evidence is either In waste bar
rel or on the ground. But 1t appears
to be always thus when Humpy leads
the detectives to the lottery man.
Last time Humpy did his jackal
trick the man arrested was charged
with having thrown chefa ticket on
the ground, where it was found later.
This time the evidence, a chefa sheet,
was found in a waste barrel at the
place of All Chin in an alley off Bere-
tania street. All Chin claimed on the
stand in the police court Tuesday that
the detectives came, searched him, let
him go and Immediately called him
back, and that it was when he was
called back that the ticket was found.
He says he had no ticket to throw in
the barrel, as he had been searched
already, and that he did not go near
the barrel, anyhow. ..... ~
Humpy, 1t is said, passed the barrel
several times. 1t is also said that he
can write chefa tickets.

SHAPING UP A CAMPAIGN ISSUE.

Judge Stuart in his suit against the governor

making the public land questioned Hawaii

has very familiar sound, In fact various pas
sages might we'll have been taken bodily from

That some other motive was in the judges
mind than that of impressing Hawaiian court
is very evident; else he would not dwell upon
the fact that the territory has 1861 818.77
acres of land, when he knows, as does every one
else in Hawaii, that bat very small fraction
of this area is of any value whatever from an
agricultural standpoint. Nor would he expa-
tate upon the thousands of mainland home
seekers who are being turned away because the
governor will not open this land to them. Such
arguments have no weight with persons who
know the real situation, but of course they may
make an impression on members of Congress
who are not so well informed.
There ISM any doubt that Judge Stuart's
plan would soon get rid of all the government
land left; but it is very certain that it would
