Death of Thomas Summerville

Thomas Summerville, age IA years
died of senility at his home in the
eastern part of town last Friday
March 24th inst. He was born in
Scotland; and, in his boyhood, came
with his parents to this country and
settled at Bunker Hill, Illinois. In
early life, he became member of
the Baptist church and remained
loyal to its doctrines until his death.
In 1869, he married Miss Johanna

grave ten years ago. Their only sur
viving offspring is a daughter, Mrs.

was prevented from going by the IL
ness OF her husband. The Bunker
Hill camp of Modern Woodmen of
America, of which Mr.. Summerville
was charter member, was to have
charge of the final obsequies. Dur
ing his boyhood, he developed a great
fondness for flowers, which led to his
becoming a successful florist, which
business he followed for a number o
years. Later on, he entered the gro
Gerry and confectionery business,
which he followed up to the time of
his coming to Florida some two or
three years ago. Though he had
lived here such a short time, he wor

MAUI FAIR EDITION

In connection with the Fifth Annual Maui County Fair which
will be held October 1914 this year, Semi Weekly Maui News will
issue a Fair and Industrial number on Tuesday, October 10, which
will surpasS its former efforts and establish new records for Maui
newspapers. Preparations for its issuance have already been start
ed, some feature articles are in type, some photoengravings have
been ordered and the pictures for other illustrations are being col
lected.
Two years ago Maui News established new records for Maui
when it issued a 26 page Fair Edition. Then there were only three
weeks for its compilation and for all the work that is connected
with the publication of such a paper. a larger one could have been
issued had there been time and a number Of would be advertisers
had to be disappointed at the last because lack of space made it
necessary to decline their copy.
For the coming edition a cover design has been accepted, the
cuts for it are being made and Semi-Weekly Maui News will turn
out the first two color newspaper work to be done on Maui.
Two years ago there was not time to compile articles on one
of Mauis great industries, livestock raising and ranching. This
year that industry will be specially featured in profusely illustrated
articles. As previously the sugar plantations and the pineapple
canneries will be described and pictured. Other subjects to be COW
cred will be Mauis scenic attractions, civic organizations, hospitals
and sanitarum, welfare work, county government, education and
schools, forestration, wharves and shipping, irrigation projects,
sports, all the advance information as to the Fair and it's regular
news section.
From this brief summary it can be seen that the coming edition
will cover Maui's resources and eXempify its community spirit in a
want to keep for themselves and to send copies away to their friends
to show what is being done on a ''ltle iset far out in the Pacific. )"
Applications for advertising space will be received at any time
from now until further notice and orders for extra copies may also
be placed in advance.

HAWAIIAN WOMEN ORGANIZE

Such Republican precinct auXiiaries as are being formed by
Princess Kalanianaole throughout the Islands apparently are open
to no valid objections and in some precincts may serve excellent pur-
poses. In some places they are certainly needed, where the women
of the party have no organizations, but here on Maui there already
exist party auXiiaTies in Central and East Maui and in Lahaina
which can be revived at any time during the campaign and the
League of WOmen's Voters has never been diSbanded.
The proposal as presented at the Wahuku precinct meeting on
Wednesday night differs from a previous proposal that the women
decided against at the close of the special election campaign only
that the organizations now being formed will be composed of Ha-
waiian women only. The former proposal was for a women's branch
Of each precinct club the membership open to women of any nativity
who are citizens.
If any criticism were to be voiced to present plans it would be
that the scope is not sufficiently large and the Princess explained
that point by saying the organizations were designed especially to
meet the needs of older Hawaiian women who do not speak English
huently or understand it easily.
She is quoted as saying that the project meets with opposition
elsewhere. Why, it should is not clear. Here ON Maui the women
have done splendid campaign work and Hawaiian women are TAX
ing al active part in political affairs, club elections, conventions and

WHERE LIES THE FAULT?

In a recent issue of the Tlo Post Herald there is an editorial
which tells of the action of Judge Homer Ross after a young Filipino
girl had pleaded guilty before him Of polygamy. Judge Ross ques-
toned the girl as to her knowledge Of the law on marriage and found
her strangely ignorant. Patiently he questioned her on the habits
and customs of girls and women she had known. He discovered
she had no well defined ideas on matrimony nor on morals. Then,
with the consent of the prosecuting officer he gave the girl a suspend
ed sentence. The Post Herald suggests that the case may be by no
means an isolated one.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one, is an old maxim. In this
instance it did not, in the strict sense, excuse the girl nor does it
excuse the social system that permits a girl to grow up in such
ignorance or to enter into matrimony with such loose ideas of its
obligations.
Before an alien can secure the right of citizenship, he or she
must pass an examination before the admitting judge showing re-
quite knowledge and qualification. Certainly the taking upon one
important as the granting of citizenship.
The official who grants the marriage license or the minister or
public official who performs a marriage ceremony assumes that the
contracting parties know the marriage laws. No questions are ask
ed and the ceremony is performed. Why, it may well be asked,
should not those about to enter into marriage be required to show
a mental capacity and a smattering at least of information requisite
for the entering upon such an agreement?
Equally, it may be asked, why the contracting parties should
not be required to show physical and mental health?
Matrimony is called a "holy state and divorce is rallied at as
an evil, but so long as those who are permitted to perform marriage
ceremonies pay SO little attention to the fitness of the parties to con-
tract and fulfill their obligations to their partner and to society,
so performed.
Theoretically marriage is all that is urged for it. AS permitted
and Prachced, it is something far different in too many instances.
