Dcfl'T CARE FOR CITIZENSHIP
toms, Is Contemptuously Passed
Up In AIgiers.

LIE Temps comments in recent
issue upon the probable effects Of
the law of February 4, 1919, grant
ing political rights to the native Mo-
hammedan population of Algiers.
The purpose of this legislation is
twofold. It confers upon all the
natives, except farm hands, fellahs,
and city laborers who have not per-
formed military service, the priv
lege Of becoming naturalized as
French citizens. The exceptions
mentioned apply only to the present
generation, since universal military
service was introduced in 1917, and
henceforth every young Arab will
be entitled to naturalization on his
release from the army.
Although nine-tenths of the
younger natives are thus eligible to
citizenship, very few take the trou
BILE to acquire this privilege. Of the
$4,000 Arabs in Algiers, only one
has so far applied for political
rights. The reason is their unwill-
ingness to abandon native customs
and usages, which they are free to
follow while they retain their old
status. Among these are the right
of polygamy, easy divorce, and the
Mohammedan law Of inheritance.
In addition, Arabs are permitted
to vote in local elections. Wherever
they have expressed their sentiments
the native voters appear to have
been against the government. =

Aaol GUT By HIS FELLOWS
Gcwbird Has Not a Single Friend
Among the Rest Of tho Feathered
Creatures.

! Because his heart seems as black
4as his coat, the cowbird is an out
ecast in bird society and his cultural,
sbubbling call sounds the one dis
77pordant note in the springtime
chorus which now swells in the
woods and fields.
His chief occupation appears to
consist Of following the cattle about,
(which accounts for the origin OF his
name. It would seem that his one
redeeming feature comes from this
mania, for one Of his chief pastlmes
Rs the annoying of crows. The crow,
himself a freebooter, is often set
upon by a band Of these smaller out
laws who peck and torment him to
his complete bewilderment.
The cowbird is the only species
of the bird world which shirks the
responsibilities Of building home
of it's own. The female cowbird
Sneaks through the bushes and Wnen
she finds a suitable nest, deposits an
egg in it and thus shirks all the re-
5ponsibilities. The small cowbird
has a tremendous appetite and it's
size, through gluttony, frequently
crowds out the real occupants Of the
nest.
Having no duties of their own,
they are despised by all other birds.
This causes them to hunt together
IN bands, being forced to find solace
I'm only their own company. It
seems they are denied the right Of
singing also as a sort Of punish
ment.

UP-TO-DATE DICTIONARY.

A dictionary that is curious in
two ways has just been issued by an
Eastern publishing house, the COM
piling having been done by naval
academy professor. It's greatest pc
culiarity is that it contains only
words that have come into general
use since the war started, says an

method of defining the words ex-

HARDING. TO THE FARMERS.

Senator Hardings speech to the

able not only for the subject matter
and the constructive craftsmanship
which 1t contains, bu. for the calm and
dignifled tone which prevails through

Washington. - The following inter
esting interview with Governor James
M. Cox of Ohio was published in the
hotel column OF the Washington Post
four years ago-viz, on July 20, 1916:
"Ohio is not the only state where
the people are shouting the praises of
the President for having preserved
peace in the United States. Our honor
has remained unsullied. The slogan
He Kept Us Out Of War Will be the
most effective argument the Democrats
can use In the campaign. Americanism
has been pre-empted by the President.
and every other problem Of national
import has been met squarely and sat
isfactorily."
This tends to snow the caliber of
Governor Cox. With him 1t Is any
thing to win, any sort Of a catch phrase,
slogan or anything to deceive or fool
the people.

'Site-Governor Mccarthy Sees
Fair Grounds.

Accompanied by Governor Mccarthy
the board of harbor commissioners
arrived this morning from Honolulu
by the Manoa and are looking over
the proposed wharf site at Kahului
harbor.
AS reported some time ago Alexan-
der & Baldwin has proposed to the
territory to release the license it
holds to build a ships wharf along
side the east breakwatcr. and to turn
over to the territory the Claudine
whF z. The plan has in general the
a., yroval of the administration, and
ne idea is to get the matter in shape
for submitting to the special session
of the Legislature which will probably
meet some time this fall.
In the party which is looking into
the matter are Superintendent of Pub
lie Works Lyman J. Bigelow, Norman
Watkins and w. H. Mcclellan.
The board will be on Maui until Sat

also look into the Mala wharf project,
the survey for which has been ap-
proved, and $22O,O0O appropriation for
which will probably be available from
the sale of territorial bonds within a
few months.
Governor Mccarthy has to return to
Honolulu this evening, and as con,
sequence is making his observations
with that end in view. He is inspect.
ing the Mala wharf site this after
noon.
This morning he also visited the
county fair grounds, where he ex'
pressed much interest in the improve
ments being made there, and the
plans for the future development of
the grounds and buildings.

this morning. He is here for a double
purpose; to help Stanley Mackenzie's
Waikikis to take home the bacon, if
he can; and to help A. B. Corcoran,
of the Newton Auto Exchange, to sell
Paige cars to Maui people. Johnnie
is now with the Newton Auto Ex-

SUIT is BROUGHT TO
ESTABLISH IDENTITY
OF PLANTERS ASSN.

HONOLULU, June 25-Attorney
Lorrin Andrews, acting in behalf of
Filipino named Aginga today filed
suit in the Circuit court to establish
the identity of the Hawaiian Planters
Association and to recover $500 alleged
damages claimed by the Filipino. The
plaintiff asserts that the planters re-
fused to transport him back to the
Philippines at the end of his three
year contract term. The planters on
the other hand declare that the Fill
pino being on strike is not entitled to
such transportation under his con-
tract.
Andrews says there is no record in
the territory to show that the plan
ters exist as an association. He is
therefore serving the papers on the
heads of every plantation on Oahu.

Hund1sdS OF Maui Residents Visit
New Bank Of Maui Home And Ad-
mire Handsome Appointments
Program Has Carnival Touch

The formal opening of the new bank
ing building Of the Bank of Maui, Ltd,
in Wailuku, last Saturday, was pleas
ant occasion to hundreds of Maui res
idents generally and a matter of we'll
merited qualification to the officials of
the institution. From o'clock in the
morning until after 10 o'clock in the
evening an almost constant stream of
visitors were passing through the
handsome building under the escort
of Manager c. d. Lufkin, Cashier
]. Garcia and the directors and en-
ployees of the bank.
Each guest was given a handsome
souvenir of the occasion, and besides
cigars and cigaretts were available
for the men visitors and bonbons for
the ladies'.
The big feature of the days enter
tainment occurred in the evening when
the street in front of the bank was
roped off against vehicles and a
tremendous crowd danced to the music
of the Puunene band and to an or
chestra upon the asphalt paving, and
watched the open air motion pictures
provided by P. H. Ross for the occas-
sion There was also a fine display
of fireworks, while the whole scene
was rendered festive by the profusion
of colored lights and streamers.
During the evening confetti battles
ragged fros time to time, and the spirit
of carnival was strong upon all.

to the county of Maui by Judge Burr
on Wednesday. the county at last
comes into control of the William
Smith estate property which has
been sought through condemnation
for more than year for the purpose
of extending the Malulani hospital
buildings and grounds.

entered an order fixing the value of
the land in question at IL cents per
foot, or $65S9,20. One building on the
lot was given value of $1,000 and the
other $500 There had been no con-
test of the condemnation, and Chair
man Kalama, of the board of super
visors, paid the price fixed shortly
after the amount was known.

Central Maui Plantations
End Grinding Season

The Wailuku Sugar Co., finished its
grinding season on Tuesday of this
week and is now drying off. The out
turn for the year is about 1920 tons,
or some 200 tons above the December
estimate. Although the mill got late
start in grinding owing to the delay
in arrival of various machinery, it
finished in very good time The pro-
duction is few hundred tons short of
last years.
The Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar
Co., finished grinding last week with
about $1,000 tons to it's credit. This
is about the same as the 1918 crop but
7 tons better than last years. 1t is
considerably higher than the estimates
The Maui Agricultural Company
finished it's years work on Monday
with something over the estimated
10000 tons. Earlier estimates had
been 29,5O0 tons, but unfavorable
weather caused a marked revision
downward.

MandamuS Started
To ReinState BevinS
Judge Burr Must Defend Ruling
Before Supreme Court Hearing
Tomorrow In Honolulu Action
In DiSbarment Not Yet Filed.

A writ of mandamus from the SUI
preme court was served on Judge l..
L. Burr, on Wednesday morning, re-
quiring the End circuit court jurist to
show why he should not be required
to permit County Attorney e. r.
Bevins to practice as a private attor-
ney in his court or to appear in court
in his official capacity for the county.
The papers are returnable tomorrow
morning in Honolulu.
Last week Bevins, through his
deputy, w. F. Crockett, Jr., entered
motion asking that the ruling of the
court prohibiting him from practicing
pending the result of the disbarment
proceedings against him instituted by
Burr, be reconsidered. The motion
was taken under advisement, but on
last Monday morning Judge Burr en-
tered another order denying the petit
tion and sustaining his previous rul-
ing.
Bevins went to Honolulu on Mon
day nights Mauna Kea, and on Tues
day, through his attorneys Peters .
Smith, sought a mandamL ON the
supreme court to secure his reinstate-
ment before the bar. The papers
from the higher court arrived Wednes-
day morning by the Mikahala mail,
and were served by Sheriff Glen
Crowell before noon. Bevins also
returned by the same boat.
Judge Burr departed for Honolulu
on Wednesday evening, in company
with Mrs. Burr, enroute to the Coast
for 2 months vacation.
Contempt Matter Still Pending
In the meantime the supreme court
has not yet announced a decision on
the habeas corpus action instituted
two weeks ago by Bevins after he had
been served by a mittimus from Burr's
court ordering him to Jail for failure
to pay the $50 fine assessed against
him for alleged contempt. The mat
ter was argued in Honolulu last week
and taken under advisement.
AS to the order by the local judge
to Attorney General Harry Irwin to
bring disbarment proceedings against
Bevins, that action will probably be
taken shortly though it may be some
time before it is thrashed out and a
final decision rendered. The present
proceedings are really but the preli-
minaries to the big battle to come.

KUHio ON REHABILITATION

HONOLULU, June 25-Delegate
Kuhio today explained to members of
the Hawaiian Civic club, which is a
native organization, the various
clauses of the Rehabilitation Bill,
which is to come up for consideration
of Congress.
The Delegate was not slow in max
ing it known that he favors the meas
ure. In part. he said:
"The Rehabilitation Bill is the fin
est measure that has ever been drawn
both for the Hawaiian people and
for the Territory We don't want the
sugar lands. Sugar is all right, but
that industry is for the big capital
lists. Congress does not believe in
homesteading lands worth from $500
to $1,000 an acre but does want to
try. in every possible way, to rehabili-
tate the Hawaiian people.
Under the terms of this bill, l
think it can be done. You never will
SuSSSSu uhioSS you uustie' No" you
have your chance and it is all up to
you. You are nobody unless you are
proud of your race and if you don't
take an interest in your own people,
the American people will take no in
terest in you.
ut is a pity we are setting aside
much that is worthy in our customs
and traditions. There is much that
the Hawaiian people can teach Amer
leans. 1t has been said that Hawai-
ians never stand together and too
often it has been true. Let us prove
to the world now. that this statement
is not always true"

Wailuku Sugar To Get
Fine HOlStein Cows

Six highpedigreed cows, of Hol-
stein stock, are due to arrive in the
near future from California for the
Wailuku Sugar Co., according to in
formation received this week by Man
ager H. B. Penhallow from Prof. Cor
don True, of the University of Cali
fornia who made the selection of the
animals. The cows were purchased ar
recent sale of dairy stock in Cali
fornia and Prof. True states that he
believes they will prove entirely salts
factory. Four others were ordered at
the same tine and these will be pur-
chased shortly.
The cows are to form a part of the
foundation stock of the company's
dairy at Waihee. With such animals
as the recent purchase, and with the
splendid champion bull now owned by
the company to head the herd, the re-
suits in few years are bound to be
most gratifying.
The recent development of the Wal
hee flats for forage crops and grasses
has proved so successful that Mr.. Pen
hallow states the ranch is now pro-
ducing more than sufficient for its
needs and some of the alfalfa and su-
dan grass are being made into hay
and sold.
