TIIK MAUI NEWS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1914. t 4 - K onoiuiu News (Continued from page I) chartered church organization, per mission to put banners oij the cars on Sunday announcing a free lecture to bo given at the opera house that night. I was met with an immediate and prompt refusal from the man ager, who volunteered the informa tion that signs were never allowed on the cars on Sunday, no matter what the occasion might be. Inas much as all roads lead to Itotne, I am still of the opinion that there was no excuse for the refusal. Though Time has wrought changes in others it' may have done so in the manager of the tramways com pany. It is either Time or the effect of advertising, and I lean to ward the latter for constant drip ping will soften even the heart of the Rapid Transit Co. LANDS. Sometimes I ask inyscif if this government lias a land policy that sticks beyond an appraisement of a tract of land to be open to home steaders. After a let of legislating and backfiring, lands at Kapaa be longing to the territory, but under lease to the Makce Sugar Company, were to be opened for homesteading. After the executive had signed the bill, or an order, or something of the kind, the appraisers were set to work and they fixed the upset price at fourteen dollars an acre, which was really an encouragement to men who wanted to get back to the land. 'IHicn came Aica, on this island and near to town. Home steaders got theirs at an upset price of thirty seven dollars and fifty cents and acre. Now 'see what happens over night. The appraisers were called upon to set a price on the lands at Kaneohe, Oahu there were three appraisers and three prices. One of them said three hundred dollars; another said two hundred, and the third, who had a keen eye to the admission of people who were not among the near-rich or the real rich, set the price at fifty dollars an acre and the rest held up their hands in horror. But when their attention was called to the prices named for the Kapaa and the Aiea lands they came down to earth. One of the appraisers want ed to first call on the governor and talk that matter over with him in spite of the fact that the three had been appointed by J03I1 Tucker and a visit to the executive would mean a slam at the commissioner. That was brought forcioly to. the atten tion of the one who had suggested it, and the matter stopped right there. To the man up a tree it would seem the appraisers, or at least two thirds of them, did not want homesteaders as 1 understand them. The prices suggested by two would indicate that the poor man would not be welcome in the field. Pineapple lands aVo valuable, but poor men cannot be expected to pay as much for it as a sugar plan tation would be willing to, even though it had to be cleared and fertilized. .The policy of the United States is tn'givc the popr man a chance. with government land, not en wd bipi to the wall. COVUIiNOIi 1MNKIIAM. (joA-emor Pinkham. has issued a ' statementjtelling the patriots, what . ho will do and how. Indirectly he intimates a keen desire to be let alone and not to be bothered by recommendations for this and that odice. The great mass of those who claim to be real democrats, dyed in the wool and a yard wide, that hound the governor's chambers day after day, and often twice a day, must be very dense or very hard to please. A man witli one eye can see thai the governor is going to do what he believes is right, and what ho believes the administration at Washington would approve of, re gardless of what the democratic party, real and imaginary, in Hono lulu wish. 1 believe the onslaught is wearing on the governor; he shows it and should take a rest be fore he actually begins on his labors. You can gee the clans gather al most daily and begin their measured stride out King street to the capital there to wait their turn, and their demeanor is so earnest all the way along that it is laughable. Ray mond Brown had a communication in the Star-Bulletin on Monday calling upon the people to give the governor and President Wilson a show, referring at the same time to a speech by Harry Irwin at the banquet the other night, and an interview with McCandless publish ed in the Advertiser. Both men say Wilson will be all right to Hawaii. iir.vnu.. Walter Novell, the young man whose facile pen filled many checks on a bank where he had no account, is now safe in Oahu Jail having been seiit there by Judge Robinson for a period of six months, on his plea of guilty to six indictments for gross cheat, five of which were held back until lie could be given a suspended sentence on agreement of his accusers. Maui Wil Although Maui lost all Hire games of baseball last week. whei put up against the Punahou nine there were indications that whei. the Mauians get down to real busi ness in Honolulu, next February i there will be something strenuoii! doing on the Oahu diamond. Thef Maui boys want a little more prae Use 'and, perhaps, a change or twe would benefit the team. Managei, Rice can be depended upon to take! the best possible team to Honolult next month. The Maui team, in some people';, estimation, was really better thai the visiting Puntthous. Of course the proof of the pudding is 111 the eating thereof but, all the same the fans who hold the opinion tha Maui should have won the first anc second games,- are many. Anc there, would seem to be a good dea of truth in the idea, for Man seemed to fall down at the mosi critical moments and that did the damage every time. f The last game, of course, was v dead easy one for Punahou and the! score of 7 to 2, tells the tale; However, there is every probability that the Maui boys will, do mucl better when they face the Punahou and the rest of the team's in II0110 ami next montli. f Plenty Tennis Tournaments Tennis is all the go uow-a-days ) and the Paia Club is well to th fore with the handling of tourua ments.
