IN ORDER OF AGE

Marguerite Clark, one OF the fay-
orite film stars in Honolulu and else
where where Paramount Pictures are
known, is appearing at the Liberty
theater in probably the most delight
full comedy in which the clever little
star has ever been seen in Honolulu.
Seven Sisters is the Offering, a
comedy that was. presented on the
speaking stage by Daniel Ffohman at
his New York Lyceum theater for
several seasons to capacity business.
According to the customs of Hun
gary, the daughters of a family are
wed according to age, the younger.
girls being restrained from falling
victims to Cupid's wiles until their
sisters have been provided with help
mates. In this family, Mici, number
four of the seven sisters, played by
Marguerite Clark, fails to follow the
national custom and falls in love- Her
sweetheart, young officer, proceeds
to find available suitors for the three
elder sisters. The suitors are a jeal-
ously-inclined colonel, a philandering
lieutenant and meek young univer-
sity student. The sisters frequently
show symptoms of not clinging to
the sweethearts selected for them, but
through perseverance the young lieu
tenant finally has things nicely set
tied when, much to his CONSERVATION,
Mici decides that she will not marry
him. There is barrel of fun in the
Strengthening out of the complications.
In the current eDiSode of "The RO-
nance of Elaine" Craig Kennedy re-
turns after an absence of a number
of weeks, and it is evident that this
entertaining serial is nearing a most
satisfactory end.

paralyze the business and \commer-
cial life of the nation.It was the most
cowardly surrender to an army of
voters this government was ever
guilty of and the Freeman-Tribune
lis rejoiced that Judge Hughes has
Il the courage to stand against it and
denounce it even in the centers
where the brotherhoods that did the
hold up act are numerous. There is
principle involved that supercedes
all else: Is this government to be
forced by threats to enact legislation
without due consideration and in the
usual way? The Freeman-Tribune
doesn't believe that President Wilson
would for a moment have given his
sanction to such procedure had he
been confronted by the situation just
after instead of just before election.
He surrendered to the eXigencies OF
the occasion and allowed strong
Organization to coerce him into has
ty action.

difficult for the layman to restrict it
to engineers, firemen, conductors
and brakemen.
Moreover, the law says: Eight
hours shall in contracts for labor and
service, be deemed, days work, and
the measure or standard for a days
work for the purpose of reckoning
the. compensation of all employees
who are so employed in the operation
of trains. -.
This does not limit the hours
which man may work in operating
trains to eight hours, but it does fix
this basis for pay. When a man has
worked eight hours he has worked a
day and has earned days wage. If
he chooses to work more than the
eight hours, that is overtime and
must be paid for extra at the eight
hour rate.
Probably the whole thing as to
those outside the brotherhoods, rests
upon the courts construction of the
words Gin any capacity in the oper-
alton of trains" But it is hard to
see how these words can fail to in
clude at least the yard men and
switchmen. They may well include
a lot more. sAsr

eve feel that the company at
least is doing all they can, under
present circumstances, to eliminate
this class of accidents. Quite, recent
| ly party of the roads local officials
took trip over the line in Iowa, on
a gas motor car, and made stop at
each crossing and arranged with the
owners of adjacent lands to permit
them to cut trees and underbrush
and, SO far as possible, give a better
view at each and every crossing. One
of the members of this party informs
us that the owners of these lands
were in hearty accord with the plan
and in nearly every case gave them
all they asked for and by their aid
many of the heretofore INSTRUCTED
crossings will be made much safer.

The Maine election result should
not worry democrats any. In 1884
the old Pine Tree State went twice
as hard against the democrats in the
September election and the republi-
cans went wild with joy-but Grow
er Cleveland didn't do thing to
James G.. Blaine in the November
election.-Manson Democrat.
The Democrat seems. hard pressed
for a solace and goes back more than
thirty years to find one. But how
about the state elections of 1908,
1912 and 1914? In 1884 Blaine was
the candidate for president on the
republican ticket He lived in Maine
and was the most popular man in
that state in the country. He lost
the presidency because he lost New
York state to Grover Cleveland by
about 100 plurality and everybody
conversant at all with the political
history of that day knows Blaine
lost New York because of the ill feel
ing between him and Senator Conk-
ling and Boss Plat. Blaine and
Conkling were the most command
ing figures at that time in American
politics and they were Jealous of
each other. Conkling refused to sup
port Blaine and his refusal cost the
republican candidate the electoral
vote of the Empire state and as re-
|sult the election to the presidency.
The majority of $1,000 given the re-
publican candidate this year for gov
ernor of Maine is a record breaker
for many years in state election.
Hughes is very popular in New York
and the party there is united in his
support.

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: 'Why dc
the heather rage and imagine vain
! things?" The so-called leading re-
publican papers that have turned
democratic this year are having a
hard time to make anybody believe
they are. actuated by lofty ideals. Let
us for moment turn from that sim
| full mortal, W.. l.. Harding, and eX-
anime the past record of these apos-
ties of civic Righteousness. Their po-
llitical creed for 10 these many years
has been Allah is Allah and Albert
Bsird Cummins is his prophet. Yet
Mr.. Cummins' entrance into the pO-
litical arena was through the back
alley by a combination of whiskey
republicans and the democratic par
ty when he was elected to the legis-
lature from Polk county. When to
all appearances the battle for con-
stitutional prohibition is won the
genial Albert comes across and en-
dorses prohibition. When these en-
inent uplifters got Bro. Cummins in
to the U. S. senate they selected and
anointed that eminent prohibition
list and statesman, Warren Garst, as
his successor in the governors office,
but perverse generation of the re-
publican party went and elected an
ordinary plebeian, Beryl F. Carroll,
over their earnest protest. Their at
tacks on Gov. Carroll is too recent
history to need repetition. Four years
ago these political mentors and
guides were in the thick of the fight
with Col. Roosevelt at Armageddon,
fighting the battles of the Lord
against the republican party. We
mistake the present temper of the
republicans of Iowax if they allow
their attacks on Gov. Harding to go
|unrebuked. Are they going to per-
last days of good old William Boyd
Allison, who carried on the most vim
dicative political warfare on George
Douglas Perkins, whose scandalous
ATTACKS on Gov. Carroll was beyond
Jail bounds of ,decency, who even now
accuse by innueudo one of the re-
|spected members of the Iowa Su-
preme Court of bartering judicial de-
cisions for favors from railway COM
panies, to turn any considerable
number of republicans from Mr..
Harding?
But We are told the Methodist
preachers are against Mr.. Harding
and much is made of the fact that
some ministers in Sioux City are op-
posed to him, but do they give these
ministers credit of knowing more
about the man than the thousands
of his neighbors in Sioux City who
gave him such magnificent endorse
ment in his home city and county?
Much ado is made because the presi-
dent of Morning Side College Joined
in denunciatory resolutions. 1t is
in evidence that the ward in which

On the farmers of the country will
fall the heaviest burden if Congress
does not repeal Mr.. Wilson's railway
wage increase bill is the contention
of Henry N. Pope, president of the
Association of State Presidents of
the Farmers Union. Mr.. Pope says
that the farmers of the country
stand for fair wages and an eight
hour day, but that when they find
"the highest paid laborers in the
world demanding a 25 per cent in
crease and Congress fastening to
their relief, the farmers are thor
oughly dissatisfied" Mr.. Pope de-
clares that the increased freight
rates advocated by President Wilson
are certain to fall most heavily on
the farmers because they are COM
PEELED to ship practically all of their
products, because of their bulk, etc.
Mr.. Polk asserts that the railway
employees so benefited enjoy incomes
far in excess of those enjoyed by
farmers and that 1.-The average farm
income is only STAT a day, out OF
which must be paid the expenses of
the family" Referring to the pro-
posed increase of freight rates, he
says, This increase must, in the
end. rast upon the back of the farm
err and will reduce his income, in
crease his hours of labor and call for
another levy of farm mothers from
the home to the field"

There are still a few people left
who get mad when statement OF
their account is sent to them. They
seem to think the man who trusts
them can and should carry their &C
count Indefinitely, or until they get
a good ready to pay up. Sometimes
they tell their creditors to go to,
storm around in fury and threat
en- all manner of things. The bust
ness man has this very unpleasant
feature of commercial life to deal
with, but not as often as formerly
The trading public, as rule, is rea-
sonable and understands that the
creditor must have his money in or
der to carry on his business. The
man who gets mad upon receiving a
statement is an undesirable custom
er and should never be given credit
a second time. In fact, the cash sys-
tenn all around would be the better
for all concerned. I That is the sys-
tenn the railroads, the express COM
panies, the telegraph lines, etc.
have, and the public does not think
of asking them for credit. The
farmer, too, gets cash for his pro-
ducts unless he has a public sale,
and then he usually gets eight per
cent interest.
