Realize the Good You Desire.

He who knows the spirit of law is
not forced to stand powerless in an
gutsh Of heart before wasting sick

you (and It is great If you but recog-

belief that any evil can dominate you.
Cast out the error that stands be-
tween you and the greatest good you
desire. As surely as the sunlight Of

evening, so surely do you strike sturdy,
determined blows against the prison

A zone system of rates for Sec

The present rate has for some
time been regarded as a discr:-

proposed zone rates would be has
ed on the length of the haul.
The postal committees have
been besiged by petitions bearing
millions of names and several
hundred thousand letters from
individuals urging readjust-
ment Of postal rates with view
of making possible one cent let

situation indicates that suffici-

various rates to permit the grant

Would-Be Assassin Con-
fesses DaStardly Crime

Joseph Elizado, Filipino employe
of the American Can Company, at Hal
l1u, is in jail in Wailuku, awaiting the
results of bullet wound in the neck
and back of fellow countryman nam
ed Pastel, who is now in the Paia
Hospital. The police say that Elizado
has confessed to having fired the shot.
The prisoner is alleged to have
marked a spot on the outside wall of
the building in which Pastel slept, and
late Sunday night to have slipped up
TO this place and fired bullet through
the board at the point where the mark
had been made. Pastel was asleep on
the other side of the wall and the
bullet struck him in the neck ranging
downward and lodging back of the
lung. The fact that the wounded man
had had a quarrel led to Elizado's
being suspected of being the would-be
assassin. After a number of persons
had been found who had seen him
with the revolver. he made full con
fession.

will Lay Corner Stone OF
New Church On Sunday

The cornerstone of the new Maka-
wac Union Church-"The Henry Per
rine Baldwin Memorial Church" as it
will be known, will be laid on Sunday
morning, August, 20, at the time of the
regular church service. The ceremony
will be conducted by the minister, the
Rev. A. Craig Bowdish, assisted by
the Rev. r. B. Dodge, who will make
an address. The actual placing of the
handsome stone which is to support
the corner of the beautiful edifice,
will be assisted in by the Hon. II. A
Baldwin.
A duet will be sung by Mrs. l.. C..
Jones and Mr.. H. Washburn Balwdin
and two anthems will be rendered by
the Molokai choir, the members of
which are at present on Maui. The
congregation, which is expected to be
unusually large, will participate in a
number of hymns and responsive
readings.

Goodness And WaiaholO
Aspire To Be Senators

County Attorney Kaae spent several
days last week on Molokai entering
the names of new voters to the great
register. He reports fourty-two new
voters in the Settlement alone, the big
proportion of whom have become
residents of the place from the Hama
kua district, Hawaii. This week the
Clerk visited different sections of the
Lahaina district, and next Tuesday he
will go to Hama. Indications thus for
are that the increase in Maui voters
will somewhate exceed the loss by
deaths and removals.
Three Out for Senate
Thus far three candidates have
taken out nomination papers indicat-
ing their intention to try for one of
the two places in the upper house of
the legislature which are to be filed
this fall. Senator w. T. Robinson is
the hold over member of the senate.
Col. H. A. Baldwin is candidate to
succeed himself, while p. j. Goodness,
of Wailuku, and Ed. Waiaholo, of
Lahaina, late members of the house
representatives would hereafter grace
the senate chamber. 1t is reportd
that w. F. Pogue may be candidate
for representative, though he has not
yet taken secured the blanks for his
nomination from the clerk.
Sam Kuula, longtime democratic
candidate for public honors has desert
ed the Bourbon ranks and is this year
making the race for the legislature
as a republican.
A. F. Tavares of Paia, is again a
candidate for the house of represent
atives, while John Brown, Jr., former
district magistrate of Lahaina is also
having a nomination petition signed.
The democrats have taken out eight
nomination papers, but thus far have
not indicated any of the victims who
will represent the Maui democracy in
the big race.

The reported shortage of foreign
money order funds totaling $1750,
which passed through the Paia post
office destined for Japan, is the source
of much speculation The matter was
brought to light by complaints of Jap

Honolulu profess not to have been alb

person as yet, but are awaiting the re-

Maui Teams Win All
HarveStHOmeSports
ThrongS Of Visitors Enjoy Hospitality
Of H. c. & S. Men And Good
Athletic Events Honolulu Teams
Fail To Take Any LaurelS

For the first time in a good many
years the visiting athletic teams from
Honolulu competing in the Puunene
Harvest Home games, went back to
the city with no laurels of victories
won. 1t is true that some of the best
players of both the bowling and the
tennis teams from Honolulu were un-
able to make the trip this year. But
it is also true that the Maui athletes
did some good work, and would have
made it mighty interesting in any
event.
The Harvest Home celebration of
the Hawaiian Commercial e. Sugar
Company this year is conceded by all
of the many hundred guests to have
eclipsed all previous efforts in many
ways. 1t is certain that the hospitality
ty of the big company through it's
officers and employees was never more
pleasingly accorded than it was last
Saturday. No pains had been spared
in making the Puunene Club House
and grounds attractive with beauti-
full decorations. A large arbor, or out
side lanai formed an attractive place
in which the delicious lunch was serv-
ed at noon time to the many guests
sports. In the evening this same
floral shelter afforded a pleasant re-
treat in which dainty refreshments
were partaken of between the dance
numbers. The ball, by the way, was
the opening dance in the Puunene
Clubs new club house, and the per-
feet floor and attractive furnishings
of the building were greatly appreci-
ated.
Honolulu Well Represented
Besides the members of the athletic
teams, quite large number of Homo
lulu visitors were present, having ar
rived by the Claudine and Manoa,
both of which reached port early Sat
urday morning. The sailing of the Ma
noa for Honolulu on Sunday permit
ted the visitors to enjoy the dance on
Saturday night to the end.
Three Teams Win Tennis
But three of the eight Honolulu
teams won their games, all the others
losing by heavy scores. The total
score for the day is given as 122 to
men on whom much had been counted
meb on whom much had been counted
by Honolulu, were unable to come,
which possibly accounts for the poor
general showing. Lowrey and Hen
noch, Novel; and Cunha, and Rice and
Macfarlane were the three teams that
made good for the visitors.
Local Bowlers Win
In the bowling an even worse de
feat was administered by the local
knights of the pin to their Honolulu
competitors. Here again, however,
the Honolulu team was unfortunate in
being shy Scott and Clark, two of
their most reliable rollers. Maui won
the three games by a total of 453 pins
more than their rivals.

portant witness for the state in the
rators of the dynamite bomb outrage
in San Francisco on July %, in which
a number of persons lost their lives
and many were injured. Wade was
bumped into by man with suitcase
which is believed to have contained
the explosive, just a few minutes be-
fore the explosion occurred. The dis
trict attorney of San Francisco has
written the school department asking
that the Maui school teacher be per

DistrictNurSeT Look After Welfare
OF Paia Camp Residents

Earl l.. Corson, of Columbus, Ohio,
who has been engaged by the Alex
ander House Settlement TO take
charge of the boys work departments,
is expected to arrive next week by
the Lurline. He will have the direc-
ton of all lines of work in which boys
are interested, including charge of the
gymnasium and playground. Mr.. Cor
son comes very highly recommended.
For some years he was in charge of
similar work in the Bay State Club,
an organization of South Ashburnham,
Mass similar in scope to that of the
Alexander House.
District Nurse Department
Broadening its field and the charact-
er of its work, the Alexander House
Settlement will inaugurate a system
of district nursing on September /.
The first nurse who has been engaged
is Miss Anna sylvia, a trained nurse or
excellent qualifications, who was form
erly connected with the Lahaina Hosp
ital, and her field of effort will be In
and around the Paia camps. Under
standing and speaking both Spanish
and Portuguese fluently, it is expected
that she will be able to accomplish a
great deal in lettering conditions
especially among these two national
tiles. If the experiment turns out as
is hoped, it is likely that other nurses
viii be added for othe districts.
More Land Acquired
Through the purhcase from A. G.
Dickens of $40 of an acre of land al
most directly across the street from
the Settlement, the institution has
secured room for two fine tennis
courts, hand-ball court, and a
croquet ground. There has long been
recognized need for an out-of-doors
yard for such sports, which the ac-
QUESTION of the Dickins property will
fill. Work will begin in fitting up the
lot for its new purposes probably next
week, and it will be ready for use
within few weeks.
1t is understood that the Association
paid Mr.. Dickins $1,000 for his proper
ty.
