Change

NOT CONFIRMED

Honokaa Sugar Company, the stock

vance, is today the subject of many
rumors on the street.

who not long ago succeeded Alexan-
der Morrison as manager of the Big
Island plantation, has rendered his
resignation F. A. Schaefer & Com
pany, Honolulu agents, declined to con-
firm or deny the report today.
Rumor number two is that the Ho-
nokaa agency is soon to be transfer

MR.. WILSON'S CANDIDACY.


No one can accuse the redonbtable Col
George Harvey of being slow about criticisine
President Wilson when he thinks the criticism
deserved.
Consequently when the caustic editor OF the
North, American Review takes up the question
of the Democratic single-term plank and the
presidents candidacy for reelection, he does it
impartially, SO far as the personal equation is
concerned. And Col. Harvey reaches the only
conclusion that impartial critics can reach
there isn't an issue in the singleterm idea
worth. fighting about. He believes that neither
the Republican orators nor Mr.. Bryan can make
an issue of it, and this strikes us as common
sense view. Mr. Wilson'S dissatisfaction with
this single term plank was expressed before the
Baptimore platform was adopted, says Col.
Harvey, and the responsibility for the plank
rests distinctly with the convention and moi
with the candidate. The broader ground on
which Editor Harvey bases the weight of his
argument is that the president : duty primarily
is not to party bat to country, and that cir
cumstances demand that Mr.. Wilson be the
Democratic candidate in the 1916 campaign.
Col Harvey's is arefreshing view of a mat
terNon which good deal of hubdub is being
spoken and written.

THE OUTLOOK FOR MILITARY LEGIs
LATIoN


Signs are increasingly evident of the inten-
ton of congressional leaders to sidetrack the
continental army scheme in which Secretary
Garrison placed such hopes. AS early as the
beginning Of February an editorial appeared
h the Army and Navy Register predicting this.

lation which will be evolved from the chaotic
situation in Washington is interesting. Says

predictions as to Details save of course, the

MILK PRICE INQUIRY BEGUN

Chicago, Sept. 18.-Milk prices and
conditions under which milk is mar
