Pioneers OF Hawaii.

The curly history Of the Hawaiian
Islands Is entirely legendary and ira
dictionary. The earliest Inhabitants, ac-
cording to estimate, must have come
hithcr about 500 A. d. They voyaged
northward In their canoes from the
island Of Savaii, in the Samoan group.
which seems to have been the chief
center Of dispersion Of the polynesian
race. to which the Hawaiians belong.
There is great similarity In the
speech of all Polynesians. To have
voyaged this distance Of over 1000
miles to their newly adopted home
through the unknown. uncharted and
sometimes telnpestuous seas in their
small. open and exposed craft and
subsequently to have gone back and
forth. as their traditions indicate them
to have done. and, finally, to have tray-
eled from island to Island In the Ha-
waiian group with no compass but the
stars overhead, certainly stamps them
as having been careful and resource

Many Excursions
to Chattanooga Fair

Many garage owners, auto SER
vice men and private motor own
ers are now arranging to take
parties to the Chattanooga Dis
trict fair the first week in Octo-
Der.
The roads between this city and
Chattanooga are always in better
condition during the early autumn
than at any other time of the year
and the cool, crisp October days
are ideal for motoring.
There are many advantages in
making a trip to the fair by auto.
The time for departure can be
made to suit the convenience of
the members of the party, and on
arrival at Chattanooga they may
go direct to the fair grounds.
There are no waits for belated
trains, no waits for crowded
street ears, nor any of the other
unpleasant incidents which are a
part of railroad travel, especially
when the traffic is heavy.
In the afternoon, the party may
suit its own convenience as to
leaving the city. There is no
scheduled train to CATCH" no
NJ long trip to the depot and no
cinders and smoke. In fact, all
of the discomforts of travel may
be avoided by travelling by auto
mobile.
The Chattanooga fair associ-
alton has set apart a large section
of ground for the accommodation
of autoes, or machines may be
parked outside the grounds in
close proximity to the entrance.
The streets approaching the
fair grounds will be kept free of
dust and dirt, and everything
possible will be arranged for the
comfort of the tourists.
Many local people who own
cars have already indicated that
they will make the trips, and
others may make arrangements
for the trip by seeing local auto
service and garage owners.

Horsemeat Next!

1.-The European war is going to
make horse meat regular article of
diet in this country, as it has been in
European countries for a number of
years." remarked S, A. Turnbull. of
Montana, at the Raleigh. Mr.. Turn
bull is a stockman, who has lived in
the west for many years, and he notes
with regret the increasing popularity
of horse meat. "Cattlemen naturally
are opposed to the eating of horse
meat" continued Mr.. Turnbull.
"Not that it will in any manner affect
the cattle interests, but there is very
strong feeling, based upon sentimental
grounds, against the human consump-
tion of horse meat. The horse has al
ways been numbered among mans
best friends, and to kill it for food is
against nature. But there is no deny
ing that horsemeat for food is becom-
ing more and more popular. Among
foreigners of the western states partic-
ularly horse meat is growing in favor.
In one town a few days ago more than
900 pounds of horse meat was sold in
the open market and.as much more or
dered for the following day. The
foreigners are regular customers of the
horse meat dealers. Many boarding
houses have started to buy horsemeat,
Soup meat sells for 8 cents pound,
round steak for 10 cents and porter
house and sirloin for 12 cents. -

CRISIS STILL POSSIBLE.

The seeming collapse of Russia
as a decisive factor in the world
war may have a providential
meaning not readily patent at
this time. We need to bear in
mind that Russia may need the
same restraint, though for differ
ent reasons, that needs to be
placed upon Germany. She could
, easily make herself a valuable
and potent factor in bringing the
war to a hasty conclusion, yet in
that very fact may balk the terms
of peace. The time of re-adjust-
ment may bring crisis as seri-
Gus as the war itself. The prize
will be the dismemberment of the
Ottoman empire and the division
of Western Asia as the "spoils. !"
1t ought to be clear that here is
one of the inevitables that should
fall more largely to England,
France and the United States.
Russia only needs an outlet to the
seas, no new territory Cumber-
land Presbyterian Banner, Tulla-
homa.
We fail to get the exact trend
of the above from a leading
church journal.
The restraint that needs to be
placed upon Germany" is now the
objective point of American arms.
In other words we are to. force
the German people by killing a
lot of them to accept peace, the
terms of which are still vague.
Can it be that after restraining
Germany we will be forced to car
ry arms into Russia and restrain
the Russian Bear? If so, where
will it all end? Would Russia be
any more easily tanned than Ger
many if it was a question of fore
ing it to accept certain conditions?
The time for re adjustment
may bring a crisis as serious as
the war itself" exclaims the
Banner, and yet could this be
possible? Peace to us means
more than a crisis, which hints
at friction, and friction between
nations ultimately means war.
If this peace readjustment brings
this friction with it, it will be
necessary for this great Ameri-
can Republic to be an armed
camp, for we will be drawn into
every petty controversy which
may arise in other parts of the
world, instead of pursuing our
serene path among nations.
Another point. The spoils?
We were ignorant of the fact that
there were to be any spoils. We
have been believing all along it
was q war for democracy. for the
people, a war conceivedin char
liable spirit, a war to cut the
threats of a lot of people to save
the rest and give them freedom.
This was the ideal, as we under
stood it. But now it is ques
ton of "spoils'. We admit that
this is democratic doctrine to
the victors belong ,the spoils y
but we think that should the I'm
tied Estates, by the consent of
England and France, the other
countries mentioned as more
largely concerned in the division,
accept portion of the Ottoman
Empire and Western Asia as a
reward for its stroke for de-
it would tie in poor bust
ness and sink at once from its
high plane.
Let us hope that these thoughts
by the Banner will not
come true. but that our troops
will make a drive to Berlin with
out losing a man, catch the kali
GER and cut his throat in as charit-
able and humane a manner as
possible, and then return to this
with all honors, leaving
the European nations to row out
heir family disturbances in their

the piper of the Harz mountains,
who appeared so many days a year
and played unearthly tunes, and
whosoever heard at once fell into a
frenzy, from which there was no
escaping. All these pied and weird
pipers assembled once a year at the
Broken. where there was a general
carnival, the arch fend leading the
concert on a violin, witches rolling
around and iddling on the skulls
of horses and the pipers adding to
the fiendish din the, concert Of their
unholy instruments. - Chambers
