SOUND POLICY
FORMULATED BY
REPUBLICANS
Progressivism and Sound Con-
servatism Are Keynotes
of Convention

St Louis, Mo-, Feb. 11.-Nothing
better illustrates the drift in the Re-
publican party, the trend toward a
sane. workable compound of pro-
gressivism and wise conservatism,
than the alternatives presented to
the Republican National Committee
in its choice of a chairman to sue
ceed William r. Wilcox.
John Il. Adams. of Dubuque, Ia,
the present vice. chairman of the
committee and the candidate of
Western Progressives and Eastern
Conservatives. is the most active and
useful member of the Iowa State
Council of National Defense a con-
sistent and powerful force for Wig
orous prosecution of the war and
a supporter of President Wilson on
all propositions looking toward
military victory over Germany.
Will II. Hays. of Indiana, chairman
of the Indiana State Republican
Committee and of the Indiana Coun-
ell of National Defense, is backed by
Western regulars and Eastern Pro-
gressives. Like Mr.. Adams. he has
demonstrated his faculty for uniting
all elements of Republicanism and
has given practical evidence of un-
usual organizing skill. both have in
ueSIee INC btllhS Va
commonsense, the humanizing touch
that is essential to the understand
ing and to the solution of the press
ing political problems of to-day.
Coming from the Middle West
both men know the thought and the
impulses of plain Americans and are
equipped to interpret these thoughts
and impulses in next falls important
campaign for the election of an en-
tire House of Representatives. thir-
ty-fve United States Senators.
The chances still greatly favor the
election of Mr.. Adams. Governor
w. L. Harding, of Iowa, is here in
personal charge of the Adams head
quarters and is making a mighty fine
job of it. He is putting over with
fine sincerity the argument that Mr.
Adams is the ideal man to weld the
radical and conservative elements in
the party. Senator Cummins, of
Iowa, vouches for the Progressive
support of Mr.. Adams and challenges
sharply the remarks of George w.
Perkins that Will II. Hayes is the
only simon-pure Progressive candi-
date.
To State Party Principles
The most important act of the
meeting, aside from its selection of
chairman, Will be the preparation
of statement of principles in the
form of n resolution. This will make
the following declarations:
That the Republican party
stands Loyalty with the Admin
istration in the vigorous prose-
cution of the war.
That it restates the principles
upon which the party was
founded; opportunity for the in
dividual to achieve prosperity
and altering opposition to So
cialstic doctrines no matter
where they come from.
Welcome For Penrosc
Senator Penrose arrived late last
night. He will be formally welcom-
ed by citizens of st. Louis, who are
indignant at Senator Stones attitude
toward the war and particularly at
his recent attempt to make political
capital through an attack in the Sem
ate upon Senator Penrose.

If Honolulu's Red Cross Shop beat
Maui's Red Cross Shop it is only in
matter of size. 1t could not have ex-
celled the Maui enterprise in the en-
thusiasm, originality, and harmony of
its workers, or size of population
considered, in the amount of money
taken in.
The Maui Shop opened its doors to
the public last Saturday morning. A
great crowd which had been waiting
outside Immediately thronged the
place, packing it almost to suffocation.
Sheriff Clem. Crowell was finally call
ed upon to place officers at the door
to keep back the impatient ones who
seemed determined to disprove the
first principle of physics that two
bodies cannot occupy the same space
at the same time.
The score of volunteer clerks and
cash boys were for several hours
kept working at high pressure trying

Of amateur sales-ladies who gathered
about the cash register to gloat with
Mrs. Cooper, the general manager,
over the results.
And the results were worth feeling
proud of, the total receipts for the
day amounting to 1925.
Owing to the distraction of the
peace armistice news the Shop was
not opened again until "Wednesday,

Father Receives Word

Another son of Maui has given his
life for the ideals OF democracy. Also
he is possibly the only Maui boy to
die on the fighting line "some where

Anthony r. Matos, Co. E., 5Sth us
Infantry, resident of Paia, Maui
was killed in action, July 80, 1918, ac,
cording to a cable notice received re-
Gently by his adopted father, Pedro
Ramos, a steam-plow man of the
Maui Agricultural Co
Young Matos enlisted in San Fran
cisco, where he had been living for
a short time, which accounts for his
name not being generally known here
as a soldier. He reached France last
April, and was probably killed ir some
of the first heavy fighting in which
the American forces played so glori-
GUS a part
The deceased was an orphan but
had been raised in the Ramos family,
Mrs. Ramos being his aunt.

Skeleton Of Man Missing
Since Last June Found

The discovery of a mans skeleton
on last Monday in a gulch near Camp
Z, Kihei, has cleared up in part the
mystery of a disappearance of an Old-
nawa laborer since last June. From
clothing on the body it was identified
as that of Miyashiro Eka, by a brother
of the dead man.
a coroner's inquest will be held over
the remains sometime next week
Whether the death occurred through
accident, whether it was a suicide or
a murder, there seems at present lit
tie evidence to show.

Maui'S War Work
Quota Now $37,5OO
Increase Of so Percent Asked For
Entire NatiOn-Up To Last Night
$21,5 500 Had Been Subscribed
Drive Ends Monday

The United War Work Campaign
on Maui, which began on Monday and
will close next Monday, has been max
ing very satisfactory progress, accord
ing to Rev. R. B. Dodge, who has been
handling the drive on this Island un-
der Chairman H. w. Rice. UP to last
night Maui had subscribed $21 500 of
her quota of $25,000.
But it is now hoped to increase this
amount to at least s37,500, and strenu-
Gus efforts will be made in the re-
naming few days to do this. This
is made necessary by message re-
ceived in Honolulu from President
Wilson asking that the entire nations
quota of $17O,5OO,OOO be increased by
so percent.
The reason for this is that the out
look, with the ending of the war, is
for greater need than had been ex-
pected for welfare work in Europe. 1t
will be necessary for this winter to do
an immense amount of relief work as
well as to keep in touch with the
armies which will now be spread all
over Europe for an indefinite period,
doing police work and helping to get
the country out of the chaos brought
on by the great conflict.
Leaders in the drive express con-
fidence in Maui to meet the new de-
mand.

Maui's reception OF the news of the
ending of the war was a surprise tC
even Maui people 1t was enthusiastic
and spontaneous, and it started in the
middle OF the night and kept up for
nearly "a hours.
The Maui News received the first
Flash" that the German ENJOYS at
Versailles had signed the terms of
the armistice, at exactly 1880 o'clock.
Within half an hour practically all
Maui had heard the wonderful news.
Sheriff Crowell was notified among
the first, and within a few minutes
all the bells in the town were peal
ing out the glad tidings.
Superintendent William Walsh, q
the Kahului Railroad, who had had
steam kept up on several locomotives
for number of days in anticipation,
had their whistles screaming even be-
fore the bells of Wailuku had begun
to arouse the populace from their
slumbers. And these same engines
were soon screaming out towards Ha-
iku, Puunene, and Wailuku.
AS people in Wailuku ran tt tn
streets under the impression that a
big conflagration was in progress,
they quickly learned the news and
joined the hilarious, shouting throng
that soon grew in size. Automobiles,
regardless of any gasoline conserva-
tion rules, were soon tearing around
the blocks with horns blowing and
occupants singing and shouting.
People didn't stop to put on much
clothing, and there were some bizarre
costumes to be seen. But it made no
difference. Everyone was imbued by
a wonderful joy. The war was over!
1t scarcely seemed credible, but The
bulletin was official and was not
doubted.
Louis Distili, manager of the Grand
Hotel, promptly arose to the occasion
