The Hilo Tribu reports a Friday edition with commentary by W. C. Cook Raitor and a Shakespeare line. The page shows second-class matter and a pasted note about printing at Hilo.
A editorial complains that Hawaii Island will lack a representative at the National Convention due to factionalism. It mocks aspirants who flatter crowds, contrasting them with solid campaigners Alex Robertson, Billy Hoogs, and Jack Atkinson, and laments renewed obscurity.
The Hilo Agricultural Society analyzes banana cultivation locally to tailor practices to sun, soil, moisture, and fertilizer. It notes broader markets could raise prices and lower freight, urges concerted action, and links agriculture to wider issues including a proposed Fourth Circuit judge from Hilo and bridge work delays.
The Fourth Circuit applauds Judge Gilbert F. Little as his term nears expiration noting his long Honolulu and territorial service. He led as a premier attorney, governed with diligence, and upheld a high conviction rate with few appeals. The Tribune endorses his reappointment, praising his honesty, firmness, and broad support across clergy, business, and bar.
The article argues for expanding Territorial revenue by promoting local alcohol production and avoids vetoing bills supporting spirits manufacture. It notes the Brewery Company license to produce malt liquor adds to revenue and suggests the governor should back such measures despite the drink habit concerns.
The Hawaii House on Monday approved naming the public park at Hilo Mooheau Park and authorized the Public Works Superintendent to implement the change. Admiral Beckley, with Greenwell and Lewis opposing, sat nearby as discussions unfolded. The House also informed the Senate of passage of the joint resolution to designate the park Moohean Park to honor a prominent hereditary chief of Hilo.
The Woman's Board of Hilo held a meeting focusing on benevolent aims including funds for the Hilo Free Kindergarten and the Japanese Mission. Officers were elected, reports discussed, and efforts described to educate children in a Christian setting with Japanese language instruction. The group highlighted sewing schools, donations, and forthcoming events, closing with a tea and fond farewells, inviting new members.
