AMERICAN LEGION
HOLDS CONVENTION

The convention of the American
Legion of the department Of Hawaii
held in Honolulu on Feb. 23rd and
Gath. was the first convention Of the
sort in these islands. Moreover it set
the highest record for disinterested
patriotism.
The resolutions passed were uni.
versally designed to promote pure. un.
diluted Americanism. This result is
being sought for by tNo means. first
and foremost the installation of Ameri.
can ideals among those citizens among
us who are of alien parentage and sub
,ject to alien influences, and secondly,
the removal of those un-American in.
ruences.
The Legion is most definite in it's
stand. 1t asks legislation to eliminate
the foreign language school, to require
complete translation of foreign Ian.
guage newspaper articles, prohibition
OF sales of land or long term leases to
aliens, citizens alone employed through
out all federal construction work. and
recommends in general that preference
be given to citizens by all employers
throughout the Territory. 1t will also
lstand behind every citizen of foreign
extraction in every attempt to resist
the influences of his blood-ties, for the
promotion of Americanism and loyalty.
Kauai's delegates were: A. S. Bush.
Henry Aki, Albert Horner, Jr., Henry
Sheldon and Gerhart Hofgaard
These men did excellent work at the
convention on their various commit.
tees, and the work was not only ard
uous, but required sound Judgment.
The new territorial commander,
Commander ]. X. Butler, was selected
by the delegates, and in selecting him
the delegates chose a man whom the
Legion may well be congratulated on.
He is boni fide 1000 American and
will be a most capable leader of the
Legion for the coming year.
For the scundness of their Judgment.
the high ideals expressed and the real
lu constructive work accomplished by
the delegates to the first convention
of the American Legion, every patri-
otto American should be we'll proud.

One Case and Adjour1s

The only case tried thus far in the
present term of the circuit court is
that of Manuel Martins, charged with
larceny in the first degree. This case
ran most OF last week and was siren
uously fought on both sides. No less
than seven attorneys being involved.
The jury found it very difficult to
come to a decision and were sent back
no less than three times. They finally
brought in a verdict of guilty of
larceny in the second degree, and the
defendant was sentenced to fine of
$500.
The COW that was taken was worth
perhaps $50. 1t was a bad investment
all round.
Owing to the prevalence of the flu,
the balance of the calendar has been
indefinitely postponed.

Track and Field
Meet Postponed

The track and field meet, which was
to have taken place Sunday, Feb, %,
has been postponed indefinitely.
Camp was barred because of the
presence of several cases of "fu." The
men in some of the camps understood
that this meant the meet wos off,
while in others they did not wish to
take chances and stayed away. 1t was
therefore decided best to postpone the
meet.
1t is hoped that it can be staged be-
fore long However, if this is not pos
sible, there will not be another until
next season, as soccer is going to take
our attention now, and baseball will
follow soon.

RECEPTION TO
NEW PASTOR

A delightful reception was rendered
Rev. and Mrs. Bayless by the members
and friends of Lihue Union church at
the Mokihana social hall last Friday
night. The hail. as usual, was taste
fully decorated, which, with the lights,
softened by the Japanese shades, eff;
fected a genial home-like atmosphere.
In the receiving line were Judge
Dickey, Mrs. Moler, Judge Dole, Mrs.
w. II. Rice, Jr., Rev. and Mrs. Lydgate
and Rev. and Mrs. Bayless. About fifty
Lihue folks were assembled
A cordial and humorous address Of
welcome was delivered by Judge
Dickey in which he was supported by
Mother" Rice to prevent his forget
ting to include the pastors entire fam
lily in Lihue's aloha. A program of
song by Misses Fox and Wilson, to-
gether with several readings by Miss
Kelley, was manifestly enjoyed by all.
Mr.. Bayless responded to the senti-
ments of welcome as expressed and
said ne felt sure that he and his "com-
mander-in-chief" were welcome from
the evidence presented. He wanted it
understood that they wished to be con-
sidered members of the community
and fellow-citizes of Kauai, and to rem
der service accordingly as we'll as in
an official capacity at the Lihue Union
church.
Mr.. Bayless' pleasing personality
and the graces of his accomplished
wife already insures their standing in
the community.
Following the formal proceedings
everybody visited with everybody else
while" Martha" with her coterie served
delicious sandwiches, several varieties
of cake, with your choice of coffee or
cocoa.
Nobody seemed in a hurry to go
home, which is a faithful sign of the
social committees efficiency.

An Unfortunate Man

A Hawaiian employee of the
County, engaged in breaking rock
for the roads, some weeks ago, was
unfortunate enough to have Il
piece of rock hit him in the eye, as
the result of which he has lost his
sight. Some years ago he was
stung by scorpion in the other
eye and lost the sight of that. 1t
does seem a most unfortunate CO.
incidence that neither the scOrp-
ion or the stone could find any
where else to land but in the poor
mans means of sight.

JUVENILE LIBRARY
FOR THE SCHOOLS

The women of the Child Welfare
Committee of Honolulu are seeking to
meet the need for reading material for
the children of our public schools. and
Kauai is to have the benefit of their
first efforts in this line. Through
soliciting for partly-used childrens
books and for money gifts, they have
succeeded in getting together a col
lection of one hundred and twenty-five
books, all of which have been approved
by Miss Mary Lawrence, Childrens
Librarian at the Library of Hawaii as
suitable and worthwhile reading for
the children of the Grades. These
books have been sent to Mrs. ]. NJ
Lydgate, chairman of the Kauai Child
Welfare Committee. who has placed
them in the Lihue school, where they
are being catalogued under Miss My.
hands direction. After the children of
this school have had the opportunity
to read them, they will be sent on to
another school, and possibly divided
and sent as smaller sets into some of
the smaller and more remote schools.
where the call for books is even more
imperative than in the larger schools.
In this way they will circulate
throughout all the schools of the is
land, and it is hoped that people who
are interested will add to the collect
ion, either through the donation of
books or by money gifts, as time goes
on. There is a great demand for
simple, but entertaining books, among
the children.
Miss Lawrence, who visited Kauai
in December in the interests of the
Library of Hawaii, and went through
twelve of our schools, reports some
splendid foundations for libraries in
the larger schools, but adds, Hun
dreds in the country schools visited
have practically no reading outside of
the regular text books. Many of them
neard the simple folk-tale of One-eye
Two-eyes and Three-eyes for the first
time, and Little Black Sambo was the
universal favorite. We need books,
more books" The country children
were found to be several grades behind
most city children as far as supple
mentary reading is concerned. Even
the Sth grades in most cases must be
given fairly tales and attractive stories
that are easy to read. AT present they

ON THE VERGE
Of COLLAPSE

NIloiil holi'iu. tDtUI-DullcllH
John Waterhouse, president OF
the planters, this. morning char
acterized as Il lie and rs bunk
the statement appearing in Local
japanese paper that the planters
had tentatively agreed to an in
crease in the minimum wage OF
81 "A day. He asserted that such
Il matter had not been considered
Circumstances indicate that the
strike is disintegrating from with
in and that more japanese are
weakening in their allegiance to
the Japanese Federation of Labor
Today saw more Japanese return
ing to work. Although only a few,
the very fact is considered as in
(dicative of the reversiOn of senti-
ment among the strikers and their
loss of confidence in the agitators.
Despite the fact that all Kor-
cans are today celebrating the an
niversary of the declaration of in
dependence, 1908 strikebrealiers
went to the plantations this morn
ing, against 1904 on Saturday.
This showing is considered very
food.
At most of the plantations more
Filipinos reported for work this
morning, while others appeared
in order to get settled today and
start in tomorrow. AT one planta-
tiOn thenumbe of Filipinos ex,
ceeded the number employed there
before the strike by about 80.
Honolulu plantation had 1876
FilipinOs and 35S strikebreakers,
or a total, including steadies, of
S24.
Oahu had a big total of 1882,
with the Koreans off duty. OF this
number $50 are Filipinos and $50
strikebreakers.
At Eva S9S men are working,
with 80 Koreans celebrating"
More Filipinos are moving into
camps today to start work tomor-
row. Quite few additional Fill
pinos went to work this morning.
Manager Adams reports that
go Filipinos are in the fields at
Kahuku. He said nothing about
other natiOnalities, so it is pre-
sumed that there are about the
usual numbers.
At Waialua 2GG Filipinos are
working. Otherwise conditions
are about the same.
Coercion ResOrted To
AT one plantation this morning
several japanese showed up for
work and were accepted back.
Labor federation officials are do.
ing everything in their power to
cause them to quit again.
AT another plantation japanese
who are at work were visited by
federation officials yesterday and
told they must quit. This they
positively refused to do. They
were then told that, if they con.
tinued working, they must con
tribute a percentage of their earn
ings to the federation. This they
took under advisement until today
and it was learned at noon that
that demand was also denied.
The Japanese labor federation
is making the boast that $4,000
was received from Kauai yester
day. Other information is that
the amount was nearer $50.

FLU EPIDEMIC
GROWING WORSE

The flu situation continues to be
worse rather than better, especially at
Waimea and Kealia.
At Waimea exclusive of the planta-
tion camps, there have been in all, $50
cases, mostly of a severe type, good
many resulting in death. 1t goes par
ticularly hard with children, and there
were five deaths on Sunday.
Strange to say the contagion seems
to be much worse up the valley than it
is in the more congested portions of
town.
There are not many cases thus far
at Makaweli, and they are still confin.
ed to camps 8 and 8.
None reported from Kekaha.
None thus far reported from Hama.
pepe.
At Eleele there are twelve cases,
and Koloa, ten. Of the latter, only one
belongs properly to Koloa, the others
have come in from elsewhere.
At Lihue there are fifty cases in the
hospital and fifty-five in the armory,
and perhaps twice as many outside. AS
at Waimea, the disease is of the viru-
lent type, "one hundred per cent
worse" says DR.. Young.
Two additional nurses came from
Honolulu this morning.
kAWAIHAU
From only a comparatively few
cases the week previous, the flu made
such headway here last week that
hundreds of cases were reported. DR..
Kuhns, himself, is a victim, and DR..
Patterson has been summoned from
Honolulu, to take charge temporarily.
When asked about the situation on
Saturday, DR.. Patterson stated that it
was impossible to estimate the number
of cases, as nearly every family he
ksited had one or more cases, and
there We're many unreported cases.
81 wouldn't be surprised if there are
as many as thousand cases in this
district" was his answer to the in
qniry as to what would be close esti-
mate of the number of cases in this
district.
A temporary hospital has been erect
ed by the Makee Sugar Company, on
the grounds of the Kealia hospital, TO
take care of the large number of flu
victims.
The Kapaa school was closed We'd
nesday afternoon pending change for
the better in the flu situation. The
local theatre has also suspended oper-
ations indefinitely.
