share part of the money with others.
Instead Of taking 50, 9,475 themselves
and disbursing 1928; had they not
been generous, they might have
taken the whole of the $4,000,
and disbursed nothing, not even the
S79.4S for sundries.
Sentiment, as Minister Gibson
put it the other day, is worth much,
and is cultivated, at considerable
expense, in other countries. The
sentiment of loving attachment to the
treasury developed by the Board Of
Genealogy is no evanescent emo
ton. 1t is made of the right stuff
to survive another biennial period.
1t has sufficient absorbing capacity
for $4,000 more. The officers
want the money. Representative
Kaulukou's instructions are to carry
the bill through the house, by forced
marches, while the salary pouches
of the Boards officials wait on the
treasury hooks to be refilled.

AN ABSURD CONCLUSION.

What an absurd conclusion the
Advertiser draws from the PROPOSE
ton Of Colonel Spreckels for dis
posing of the reclaimed land near
the harbor! The proposition to di-
vide into lots of convenient. size and
sell upon extended terms of pay
ment, provided the water front be
retained in possession of the govern
ment, is sound enough. But to say
that the carrying out of the PROPOSE
ton is going to create "demand
for skilled labor, building material,
and merchandise" so that "busi-
ness of all kinds would be stimu-
lated" to such an extent that "we
should see an end to the period of
stagnation," is simply absurd and
nothing less. No buildings would
be erected in the region named
other than for business purposes,
and business must first expand be-
fore there can be demand for build
ings in which to transact it. Will
the erection of buildings create
business for other than building ma
terial? and are business men likely
to erect buildings for the sake of
reviving trade in building material
with the prospect of having to keep
them shut up when completed, as
are several new stores in the lower
part Of the city at the present time ?
Not much!

SECONDHAND IDEAS.

Yesterday attention was called to the
fact that Mr.. Spreckels' ideas about
proper conservation of the natural
water supply at Kapena pool had
been anticipated in the BULLETIN
months ago. To-day it is our pain
full duty to clip the great origin
ators plumes in respect to the other
subject of the so-called "interview"
had with him by an employee of his
own newspaper office. His sugges-
ton, that the Esplanade should be
divided into lots and sold, was SUBJ
stantially urged by the BULLETIN
about a year ago. 1t was an en-
tirely original idea with the writer
of these lines, who is therefore enti-
tied to the lions share of all the
laudation bestowed upon Mr..
Spreckels by his paid eulogist. The
author of the idea has more than
once been treated in the same unfair
manner by our contemporary, nota-
bly, when his views of municipal
incorporation were alleged by that
journal to have been instigated by
conspiring property-owners. And
that paper then ill-manneredly re-
fused to accept the positive state
ment that the BULLETINS articlef on
incorporation were absolutely orig
inal with the regular editor. 1t is
hardly possible that it will be can
did enough to-day TO admit that all
the brilliant ideas put forth in its
interview with Mr.. Spreckels were
really stolen from back files of the
BULLETIN.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Continued from page 4.

Noble Bishop said the question that
had been asked the Justices applied
to the whole bill, and perhaps there
was a mistake in the way it had been
submitted. They have said enough
in the communication to show that
the bill would not be constitutional.
They were not to consider taxing
Chinese in any other way than stated
in the bill. He thought there was
no special advantage in having it
printed.
The communication was received
and laid upon the table.
The house took up the order of the
day, and went into committee of the
whole, on the Appropriation Bill,
Noble Cleghorn in the chair.

In the answer of the Judges of the

In the answer Of the Judges of the
Supreme Court to the question of the
Legislative Assembly on the consti-
tutionality of the Chinese tax bill,
article ~ of the Constitution is cited
to show that "every law shall embrace
but one object and that shall be ex-
pressed in it's title" This rule, if
the House is disposed to be guided
by the Constitution will necessitate
change of name for at least one OF
Kaulukou's pet measures. The
"act for the relief of the Board of
Genealogy," can be constitutional,
only by title expressing its object,
which title will he "an act for the
relief of the Board of Salaries"

HOW The MONEY GOES.

The statement of expenditures,
with vouchers, of the $4,000 abb
sorbed by the Board of Genealogy
during last biennial period, laid be-
fore the house yesterday by Minis
ter Gibson, was neatly prepared
document. The vouchers are, of
course, all o. X. as they represent
little else than the payment of sala-
ries. Out of the $4,000, the three
head officials consume $4,000. Ano-
ther $575 is paid q copying clerk,
whether for copying lists of bones
or drafts for salaries, does not ap-
pear. The drawing of salaries
seems to have been the main busi-
ness of the Board. This duty was
efficiently performed. No part of
it was neglected. A desk and sta
tionery, doubtless for the copying
clerk, cost together, matter Of
$46.25, very modest outfit indeed.
The desk may be superior piece of
furniture. Whether it is adapted to
the purpose for which it is required
is best known to the Board. 1t
wonld be no more than justice to
the clerk that select committee be
appointed to examine the article
whether or not it is properly fitted
for the storage and classification Of
bones. Separate drawers for chiefs
bones and for bones of the common
order of humanity are, it is to be
hoped, duly provided. The bones
shifted by the pig, and those shifted
only by the Board will, if the desk
is properly constructed, be respect
lively consigned to their appropriate
drawers.
Between the three head officials
and the copying clerk, the Board
succeeded in getting away with
$9,475, under the head of salaries.
The sum of S246.39 is laid out in
the care of a mausoleum and bringing
the chiefs bones from lao and Ka-
loko. No one will object to these
items. They are evidently legiti.
mate expenditures. The services
represented by this S246.39 were
judiciously and economically per-
formed. But they constitute the
sum total of the actual work of the
Board. Services involving so large
an outlay as $246.39 require careful
and efficient supervision and it is
proper that the accounts for the
same be subjected TO the most rigio
scrutiny. Hence the necessity OF
not less than three officials at sala'
ries aggregrating $S, 900 to see that
the $246.39 is honestly earned.
The magnanimity of the Board is
beautifully exhibited in their gene
rous contribution of 1925 from the
funds at their disposal, and which
they applied to specific purposes.
There was nothing tocompel them tc

The Clock Struck.

From the Ld11rence0iLLe (Ga.l Herald.
There is something strangely curious
about old clocks and the antics they some
times indulge in when the spirit of some
loved one is about to take its flight to the
Great Beyond.
And. too, it is rendered doubly curious
that these old clocks are rarely ever
affected, save when the brittle thread Of
life of those who have listened TO its in
cessant tick as it measures the mile
stones of life for nearly half a century
is about to be snapped and returned TO
the Author Of its existence.
A very strange incident of this charac-
ter occurred in this place last Thursday
evening at the home of Mr.. A. n. Robin
son.
His mother, a very aged lady, lay at the
point of death, surrounded by her suTviV-
ing children, VINO each moment expected
the crisis TO come which would watt the
patient sufferers sOul 70 the beautiful
city above, when suddenly, like peal of
thunder, which sunk deep into the hearts
Of those present, it struck the hour of ].
IL was then about 7:15 in the evening.
This clock had not struck before in year,
but mad kept the time with unerring ac-
curacy for years and years. This is GER
tainly something remarkably strange that

HE HOLDS THE FENCE.
A Little Story of Interest in Newport

several weeks ago a Detroiter pur-

completed he engaged a surveyors SER

discovery was made that line fence was

INC Sara SOFA Murderers.

From the Bartoao tFJa.) Informant.
These men. three in number, are now
awaiting the penalty of their terrible out
RACES in The Manatee county Jail. In the
meantime, strange to say, the most siren
uOus efforts are being made to secure a
pardon for them. The gang TO which
these men belong kept the portion of Nam
aztec county in which they operated in
sucn state of excitement and de-
mOralization that men were almost
afraid to move about for fear that
they might be the chosen victims OF
the assassn's bullet. Life was considered
unsafe in that portion of the county, to
such an extent had these outrages been
carried. The band OF murderers was a
secret organization, and when it deter
mined upon the lite of any citizen the
edict went forth as from a king on his
throne, and it had to be Obeyed, else those
to whom the bloody commission was
intrusted would pay the penalty by
FORGETTING their own lives. Therefore,
they were always sure TO do as they
were hidden. Innocent, unOffending and
good citizens would be assaulted and shot
down like dogs for no other reason than
they were not liked by this murderous
gang, and il was thought best that they
should be put out Of the way. Alter bold
and repeated efforts on the part OF the
Sheriff of the county to get some clue
to these shocking crimes the villains
were at last cornered and made TO
show their hands, and now that they
have been prosecuted and convicted upon
evidence so clear and convincing as not
to admit of the least doubt of their guilt,
they ought to swing, and the good citi-
Zens OF Manatee county, who love law
and order, should be slow to petition the
Pardonng Board to interfere in a matter
OF this Kind.

ADAUGHTER OF BURNS.
Death of an Old Scotch Woman Who
Formed alLink With the Past.
From, tie PAU Nal Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t will surprise many and may interest
a few of your readers to learn that there
died at Motfat ON the 18th of last month a
veritable though illegitimate daughter of
the poet Burns. The old lady in question,
Helen Armstrong by name, who was nine
ty-seven or ninety-eight years of age, re-
sided for many years in MOffat, IN the
same little back street In which she was
born somewhere about the year 1888. The
fact of her relationship to Burns was we'll
known in Moffat and the neighborhood.
Her mother, Nelly Hyslop, was a beauty
in her day and Burns was for some time
a devoted admirer of hers. Helen is said
to have borne q strong resemblance to
Burns in her earlier days, and indeed the
likeness in the portraits of Burns was
traceable to the last in the contour of the
face and in the dark bright eyes, dimmed
as they were by age and sickness. Nor
was the likeness confined 10 physical
points; in her mental powers Helen show
ed a strain of the poetic blood. A few
years ago her conversational powers and
her quickness of epartee were most anus
ing and attractive. Even few months
since, when we'll enough TO talk, her con-
versatIon was highly interesting. Helen's
life. as far as can learn, was not very
eyentful one. She went to service at a
very early age-seven, i think. she be-
longed TO that genus Of Scotch servants,
still eXtant though rather rare, who re-
main years in one "place" and identity
their EMPLOYERS interests with their own.
she was thirty years in one situation at
the Buccleuch Arms Inn, at ThOrnhill,
with a family named Glendinning.
