set tiny bungalows, insur-
ing the occupants the priv
acy of a home with all the
comforts of hotel service.
Very quickly Don Carlos
decided that he could be
happy in this environment!
These island folk had SIM
plified living conditions
one could expand in the
warmth of such surround
ings. He sent down to the
Young Hotel for his lone
piece Of baggage, and in a
few moments was seated on
the porch of his bungalow,
putting away contentedly on
his pipe, while his eyes
gazed over the vista of the
Koolau Range spread be-
fore him.
just few days ago he
had left turmoil and unrest;
now he found himself bask-
ing in such a state of men
tai happiness that it brought
with it wonder at the
peace and contentment that
soothed him. Even the STIR
ring events of the morning
seemed to fade dimly into
nothingness almost it seemed
as though it had been a
fascinating dream.
Yet there was the tangible
evidence of the money, his
leather pocketbook fairly
bulging with the greenbacks.
Concrete evidence that they
were not couterfeit lay in
the fact that the hotel man
had accepted them without
any hesitation.
That woman! Who could
she be and what did her
presence in that place Of
mystery mean?
She looked like a white
woman. What, then, was

Her whispered, $50 they

AS he lay there, thinking
over the few hours before,
his blood raced madly.
This was the life!
Mystery, intrigue
and Hawaii!
He had read of the Circes
which lurked in the moon
light-the white mellow
nights of the tropics. Per-
haps- He needed move

paniment to his thoughts.
He started to stroll about
the grounds of the hotel;
looked across into the next
yard.
A rambling bungalow set
in the midst of>>a riot of
flowing shrubs greeted his
eyes. In a wheel chair be-
meath the shade of a tall koa
tree sat the most beautiful
woman Don Carlos thought
he had ever seen.

beauty. She seemed com

~ nee out in the warm
sunlight again, Don
Carlos recognized for
the first time that he was
stranger in a strange land,
Without a roof over his head.
He must attend to this little
matter at once. He turned
his footsteps toward the
hotel where he had checked
his grip.
Z Adventure and mystery
these two had come into his
life this warm sunny day.
He pondered over it as he
wandered idly along the
streets of Honolulu. The
kindly-faced clerk behind
the desk of the Young
Hotel had told him the best
localities in which to hunt
lodging.
He wandered out to the
beach; saw Waikiki at close
range in all the dangerous
warmth Of the tropical day.
A few guests of the Moana
Hotel were idly engaged in
taking their afternoon siesta;
while on the narrow golden
strip Of land known as Wal
kiki the world over, some
more ambitious ones were
dying about or dlsporting
themselves in the surf.
It was pleasant, to idle
the hours away in this at

needs be on his way, ere

CROOkEDNESS

The recent exposure of the graft
situation as existed in the control of
the city government of the city of
Minneapolis should be enough to
shame the most ardent admirer of
that kind of profession. When one
has been elected to a public trust as
a seemingly honest and straightfor-
ward character, only to sink deeply
in the mire of graft and thievery, it
is enough to make people lose con-
fidence in the human race. One Of
fetal of the Minneapolis government
admitted that he knew other alder
men before him, who had become
wealthy through the management of
the affairs of that city and upon TAX
ing office, he found it so easy and
with such an honest appearance that
he thought he might as we'll cash in
as the others had done before and
others following him would do. But
thanks to the exposure of the situa-
ton, the whole case of dirty and rot
ten business has received such wide
spread publicity, that it is doubtful
if Minneapolis will ever again be con-
fronted and cheated by huch scoun-
drels
1t is very easy to go wrong and it
is very easy to pass it off as the one
alderman did, but there has to be a

When the new president kissed the
Bible, that was the supreme moment
the time of profound Significance; that
was the heart of the entire ceremony.
The transition of the scepter of au-
thority from one to another in this
simple, quiet, democratic way marked
the reason for all this animation and

Fortunate as we are, in being re-

AN AIRPLANE CASUALTY

A sad accident happened in New
Jersey recently when one of the big
passenger airplanes loaded with Is
passengers including the pilot, crash
ed into railroad car of gravel in an
effort to make landing after all of
its three motors had died. while at
an altitude of 200 feet. Under or
binary circumstances, the pilot could
have succeeded in bringing the craft
safely to earth, but strong wind
is thought to have made it lose alti-
tude too quickly and the crash was
inevitable. The pilot was the only
one to escape death and he was Sc
verely injured.
This accident, by no means should
retard the advancement of aviation.
as under the circumstances. it was
entirely unavoidable. The pilot ham
died his plane efficiently enough and
it is a rare occasion indeed that all
the motors stop running at once The
airplane is being made safely enough
and it is sad part that fate played
in this particular case.
1t has always been the case~people
lost their lives duelling and in many
other encounters i'm the olden days:
later they lost them in crude ships
built to conquer the mighty deep:
then came the horseless buggy to take
its heavy toll and is still taking its
toll and now comes the airplane to
conquer the skies. 1t is certainty
that the advancement of the human
race, in its efforts to conquer OBJ
stacles is frought with many dangers

ancestors and their ever longing for

to the new vice-president, his inaug-
ural address, the swearing in of new
senators by groups of sig and the
calling of special session of the
new Senate to act on the presidents
cabinet. When all this had been done
those assembled, arising in groups
were annouced Then according to
rank they proceeded to seats provided
for them on the Capitol steps. The
presidential group was the last to
leave the chamber. This all seemed
perfectly easy and natural. Surely
simplicity is the height of attain
ment.
Mr. Hoover, with head barred, stand
ing outside the canopy proceeded with
his address. The rain fell upon him
as it did upon the rest of US. Per-
haps he spoke more rapidly because
of the discomforture of the audience
in the rain. Not only did Mr.. HOOver's
voice carry over the radio to distant
parts of the world, but through the
local amplifiers to the thousands in
the great cOncOurse in front of him.
Such scenes are inspiring. They re-
fleet the spirit and interest of the
nation in its government as nothing
else does. This seemed to me the
really significant part of the Inau-
guratiOn. The parade put on to please
the people is but the aftermath 1t
covered distance of about mile
and continued for over two hours.
During this time, the militia, the
regulars consisting of infantry, ar
tillery, and cavalry, the bands, drum
corps and state delegations were pass
ing by-glorious and splendid.
1t was not a hard rain that fell.
In fact is was described as liquid
sunshine.
Prefering to see the people instead
of the parade, | took street car
running parallel to Pennsylvania ave
nue. where the parade was, to a point
down past the White House. Along
Pennsylvania avenue wherever could
catch a glimpse of it, people were sit
ing on benches or standing in the
street watching the parade.
In the interim. between Inaugural
tion and parades, Washington be-
comes fully rechargad and is ready
for the next, and gives off its elec-
trical sparks with 1000 of energy.
1t is certainly worth while to make
the effort to see it once. 1t is the
thing denied us that we desire most.
Having obtained it, we discover its
chief value is in acquainting us with
its futility.
1t was a good natured crowd, en-
thusiastic and appreciative. The rain
did not dampen its ardOr.
The usual thing occurred. People
would persist in standing up, cutting
off the view of those behind them.
Cries of sit down and down in

that it has been demonstrated that
there is strong sentiment for keep

the county commissioners to make
the best of ito do the best they

ally do. The state Legislature has
not yet decided now they will divide
the one-third of the gas tax money

some of it can be spent to good adj
vantage in keeping the main county
roads open. To get at it in the most
economical manner will require some
study and investigation and we feel
sure that the commissioners can be

in the end. Oh, if we could only

ness that are being perpetrated in
our United States, and could see the
stealing, numbering and plundering
that is the indirect outcome of them,
and sanctioned by apparently trust
worthy citizens. who are clothed in
the authority of innocent constitu-
ents, we could not rest until each

of justice. But alas, it must go, the

known under the sun and it will al
ways be so.
