David Forbes, Manager, Waiakea
Plantation-I will be delighted to as
sist you in any way can in the mat
ter of adjudicating the school gardens
on this island, You are, by such meth
DDS. as adopted, stimulating growth
amongst our youngsters that Is more
likely to make Industrious and good
citizens of them, than all the Latin
their teachers can cram into them.
Decision of merit by points Is the
only satisfactory way for judges TO
decide, and this has been fairly clear
set forth in your rules. 50 that Il
comes lighter on judges to decide
than If there were no established
rules laid down for them. In the part
Of the world where hail from, each
parish or community have for 40 years
back had such competition for the
best cottagers gardens, and eight
years ago while l visited there I was
glad to see the schools had taken
1t up, and in several schools really
high class work was taken up, such
work as budding and grating being
done under supervision Of teacher IN
school garden. while fertilization and
hybridization of plants received spec
ial attention The prizes offered the
winning school were not nearly 50
valuable as that offered on Hawaii,
but the hopes Of being best was sur
ficIent in itself to stimulate keen
enthusiasm to do good work.
III might suggest, 1t seems to me
that the work Of judging those gar
dens might lay lighter on the
shoulders OF judges II you were ap-
pointing. say three from East Hawaii
and three from West Hawaii, the
former to take in Hamakua, N. & 8.
HIlo, Puma and Kan. II IN three
months hence the judges were notified
Of all schools or private gardens be-
ing entered FOR competition, two Visits
could be made by the judges. This
Is simply suggestion and know has
a wonderful effect IN stimulating the
pupils. Il acts Ike their quarterly ex-
aminations and reminds them that the
day Of reckoning approaches

foundations of knowledge and experience that will be of great
value to them in the future.
BECAUSE we want the children to look forward to the
time when they will have farm in place of the garden And
that farm will bring them pleasure and profit account Of the
experience gained and ambition sprouted this garden
BECAUSE we want them to realize that the success of
farming and the farm much the large cultivated
as is the Of the good results gained from each square
foot of land.
BECAUSE we want each child to know that there moth
ing more dsn6ed or commendabe than labor farm and
there is no other line of work which the educated home
loving building boys and girls of Hawaii apply
themselves to better advantage.
BECAUSE all Hawai hopes the children of Hawaii will
look ahead and go ahead the agricultural enterprises large

BECAUSE we believe that intelligent farm workers and
successful farm work go hand hand with personal and 6nan
cia success in Hawai-.

1t will be noted that the greatest number OF points are
allowed for perseverance and judgment
This because schools situated such untavoraDe
locations that much greater perseverance and better judgment
will be necessary to the results Thus may be that
the school the midst of unavorabe surroundings will by
the extraordinary work of the pupils, make better showing
than where the soil fertile and the water ample for all

KRAUSE FOUND
 GUILTY OF MURDER

JUNEAU, Oct. 5.-The jury in the case of the United States vs. Edward Krause returned a verdict against the accused at a late hour last night of murder in the first degree for caus- ing the death of Capt. J. O. Plunkett. Little doubt existed when the ease was given to the jury of what the yer diet would be. While the evidence in the ease was wholly circumstantial the prosecution wove a strong chain about the prisoner tracing his prob able movements from the time he left Douglas until the arrest of the ac- cused.
 Witnesses testified to the finding of Plunkett's boat anchored in a se- cluded cove after letter had been re- cciyed from Erausc stating that it had been burned, Other witnesses identified articles found in the posses sion of Krause as belonging to Plum kett, including shotgun, barometer suitcase, typewriter and articles of wearing apparel The chain was SC complete that there was not a loop hole for escape.
 The charge of murdering William Christie is also hanging over Krausc, but at the time it is not known wheth- CT it will come up for trial or not. The prisoner has already been con victed of forgery and other crimes in connection with the great crime and has received sentences aggregating nearly 30 years in the pen.-EN.

We must all admit that We do not pay sufficient at yenton to arguments in political speeches. We are uSu- ally carried away rather by Quip or word play than by an effort to prove what the country most needs t%ou have political leader who is skilled in politics he makes his followers believe everything he says and even makes them like what they pretended hate before He can turn off strong argument against him with light word and his minimizing audience howlS it's approval while perfect K unaware of the fact that this very light word had been carefully thought out to entap them skilled politician is something to be admired.
