any of them are chosen, the Home

The next few days will prove wheth
er the people of Honolulu mean what
they say, or whether they are "talking
through their hate" when they say
they want to get rid of mosquitoes.
The Board .of Health has passed res
olutions, the people have had a mass
meeting which passed more resolutions,
executive committee, finance commit
tees have been appointed, and now it
is up to the people to say whether it
shall all end In talk, or whether a bona
fide effort is to be made to secure re
suits.
Resolutions and committees are good
as far as they go, but they will not
kill mosquitoes. It takes muscle and
kerosene oil to do that, and these cost
money. This will cost several hun
dred dollars a month, but the elimina
tlon of the mosquito from Honolulu so
ciety is worth several thousand dollars
a month.
There are people who think it can
not be done. They may be right, but
then again they may be wrong. The
benefit will be so great that It is worth
while to experiment. If unsuccessful
we will have lost a few dollars in z.
good cause. If successful, the result
will be cheap no matter what the cost.
.The mosquito finance committee asks
for subscriptions, payable monthly, as
the expense will be a continuing one.
Everyone interested in Honolulu's
health, business and comfort is Inter
ested In this problem.
Honolulu has a reputation for public
splritedness. This is a good time to
demonstrate that such reputation Is
living fact and not a dead tradition.
The finance committee consists of P.
M. Pond of the Waterhouse Trust Com
pany, and Ralph Helm of the Pearson,
Potter Company.
Subscriptions can be mailed to, or
left with either gentleman.

W. C. Jones, the aged father of Eddie
Jones, and. for the innocent members
of his family. The patriarch, who
for many years was esteemed amon?
the most useful and Intelligent resi
dents of Hawaii, has for some time
been in a feeble condition from the
Infirmities of age. His Fens and
daughters, excepting th fugitive
murderer, hold respectable positions
in business and society. The family
is overwhelmed with grief over the
situation In which they are plunged.
A laughable account Is given by the
Kingman Leader-Courier of the trou
bles of a young married couple from
Pratt County, Kan. They had gone
to Kingman to be married, and in
tended to go East on a wedding trip.
After they had entered the train, the
husband alighted for something, and
the train went off and left him. His
bride had neither money nor tickets.
She was frantic, but some of the pas
sengers sought to console her. At the
first station' she gov off. It was night.
but she managed to find a farmer who
agreed to carry her back to Kingman
in his wagon. They arrived so late
in the night that all the hotels and
other places were closed, but the farm
er managed to find refuge for the
bride at the home of a family. In the
meantime, the husband had learned
that there would be no train out of
Kingman the next day, which was
Sunday. He wired to Hutchinson that
he was coming by buggy, but his wife
was not at Hutchinson to receive the
telegram. He made a long night drive
to Hutchinson, but found no one there
who knew anything about the

The Republican Executive Committee
is bending all Its energies now to get
ting out the vote for Friday's prima
rles. Meetings are to be held at the
same hour In all the precincts in the
Territory and the committee is anxious
that on the Saturday following as
big a vote as possible be polled. For
this reason, work is being done to get
the citizens interested sufficiently to
attend the primaries, and take a hand
in saying who the nominees shall be,
The Second Precinct Club of the
Fourth District will meet again tomor
row evening and discuss county can
didates. At the same time nomina
tions for delegates will be made, and
it . is the expectaUon to ' instruct
the delegates for whom they shall
vote In the county convention. The
Second Precinct will very likely be the
first to put a county ticket in the field,
for the announcement has quietly gone
forth that prospective candidates, are
expected to place their names in the
hands of the Executive Committee of
the club before tomorrow evening. Al
though the nominations for delegates
will be made at this meeting, the
formal endorsement will take place
at Friday evening's meeting and be
voted upon Saturday.
In most of the precincts, particularly
In' the Fifth District, there is opposi
tion to the plan of instructing before
hand the delegates that are chosen at
the primary elections. The chief ob
jection Is that the possible candidates
are not known as yet, and that it
would be folly to endorse a man, weeks
before the' convention, who might not
be heard of again. The other objec
tion is that it prevents all chances of
trading or compromises in the conven
tion, if the delegates are bound be
forehand by a hard and fast rule.
The Republican Executive Com
mittee has made arrangements' to re
ceive the list of nominations Friday
evening, and also the results of the
Saturday elections. It will require
considerable hard work to have the
primary tickets ready for the voters
on the day following the nominations
and the committee will assist in this
work as far as Is possible. '
Vlda. Clark, Holt, Lane, Wallace and
other Fifth District reformers had a
meeting at Stewart's office yesterday
at which It is reported that they agreed
to support Brown for Sheriff providing
Brown's men would support Stewart
for City and County Attorney.

The Mosqu to Campaign. -
Dr. Cooper, president of the Board
of Health and chairman of the Citi
zens' Mosquito Committee, stated yes
terday morning that he would no

raised. The committee's finance com
mittee may have something encour

meeting tomorrow afternoon.

A recent improvement in . railroad
locomotive headlights is to send a beam
of light vertically from the locomotive,
as well as straight ahead. The column
of light, rising vertically from the loco
motive, can be seen from a great dis
tance, even though a hill should In
tervene to hide the ordinary headlight
and dull the sound of the whistle. The
searchlight effect used aboard ships is
thus to some extent utilized. An ap
proaching locomotive with this device
always signals Its coming with a "pil
lar of fire" by night, producing an im
pressive as well as useful result.
