only about ope-third of the Japan

among tie publications which have

editorial columns they have stated
that the cost of living is higher now
than it was few years age, and that
the la5oTers are not receiving any
more wages, and ask that the planters

for their employees.
In regard to the question Of organi-

According 20 many of the Japanese
a union will not be formed until the
planters make satisfactory arrange

japanese believe that the planters will
hear the laborers, and that a satisfac-.
tory agreement will be reached They
look at the situation from an eco

Will again appear in Manoa park.
Several weeks ago the initial con

event. Residents of the section held
open house and BY using the tele-
phone diligently made certain that
every other section of the. city knew
about Manoa's concert. 1t was the
most successful. band concert, from
the standpoint of attendance, that has

Now Manoa is to get its reward.
There is to be another concert, and
rumor has it that If it is as successful

Condoyannis; Spy Meets Traitors
 Death in France

Paris, June 19.-The Greek spy Condoyannis, formerly an actor, was shot at daybreak on May 26 in front of the artillery targets at Vincennes. He was condemned on March 26 for giving the Germans information as to numbers and movements of troops in France, and had since vainly exhaust ed all means of appeal including that of applying to the president of the kRepublic.
 On the morning of his execution Condoyannis was wakened in his cell at half past two and told that his time had come. He dressed slowly. repeat ing that he wanted to make further statements, but interrupting himself every now and then to say to the guards ''So you insist that I shall be shot?'
 When dressed, Condoyannis was or dered- into a wagon drawn by two horses and was taken on a journey of half an hours duration to the butts Getting out of the wagon he walked firmly enough, the guards say, to the wooden post as which he was to stand to be shot, but he kept constantly ex- claiming ''I protest, I protest" While he was still protesting the guards be- gan to bandage his eyes. but Condoy- annis tore the cloth away saying he would give the order to fire himself. At this point he began to make a speech. Brave French so1diers-.' He got so far but no further-at this moment the officer commanding the firing party lowered his sword and Condoyannis fell pierced by dozen balls.

 When President Cleveland, the first Democratic President elected since the Civil War, took the oath of office on March 4, 1885, the American Navy consisted of junk, wooden ships with old guns and broken down engines
 The American Navy was a. joke.

 In a speech in the House recently Representative Talbott of Maryland. a member of the. Naval Affairs commit tee, recalled that Col. Roosevelt in his administration, invited the Democratic members of the Committee to go to the White House that he might ask them personally to vote for four battleships. On that occasion said MT. Talbott, Col. Roosevelt said:
 satI am frank enough to admit that we could not have carried on the war with Spain successfully except for the navy that was furnished to the coun- try during C1eve1and's two administra- tions.''
 In 20 years the Republican party in Congress had spent $419, ,510, ,8S7.O9 of the peoples money and had nothing to show for it. Of this amount $73,- 145,O34.57 represented dnexpended balances from appropriations of pre- vious ITS.

THE TRICK PLAY IS PASSING.

The Baseball Magazine maintains Ty Cobb is the greatest player in the game through his phenomenal batting average. He is the greatest player in the game by virtue of his wonderful baserunning.

 off the bag. No one paid any at- tentton to him. Finally. getting a good lead, he dashed for home Too late the fielder who had the ball saw the play and then threw for home. The runner was safe. In the mean time, by fast sprinting, I reached third

Drudgery and Dope

But we are not going to waste time list ening to the old stock bunk of the word merchants who talk to live, who are afraid that the get-together- movement will put them out of business.
 If these barkers will dig up real ideas, although they never seem to have any, or if they will be amusing, we will let them per form now and then.
 What we want now is WORK. Things have started in big way. We are beginning to sweep into line. We have ideas, we have a programme.
 Some of us are modest, some are lazy, some are the drudge boys, some are just sell fishly indifferent.
 There isn't much hope ever for the drudge boys, but the rest of us have no real excuse. We all have to do our part to get the homes we need. We must get4into line. -or admit we are something at which com mon sense and our pride rebels.
 Those who want homes should be more active; their sense of fair play will make them join the procession when they under stand we want them that we need their help. We all belong.
 The big plans that are making can't 20 into effect in minute. All our earnestness, all our enthusiasm will be needed to put them through.
 It is for ourselves, for our wives and children, for the peace that comes from permanent prosperity, that we are making reality of our slogan:
