Parents who wish their little ones to re-
ceive wholesome lesson in charity should
encourage them to go to school next Mon
day prepared to join The Evening Star
Santa Claus Club. 1t Is too easy for chill
dren to grow up In seltshness. No oppor-
tunity to get them out of themselves into
touch with the great world of sympathy
that Is throbbing around them should be
neglected. pr course child ought to be
protected from contact with useless suf-
ferinS, or with the gruesome features of
city life, but gentle helps for the comfort
of the poor cannot but make better chill
dren of them, and will inevitably produce
better men and women in latter years.
The dimes that are needed for this worthy
charity represent splendid sentiment that
should he encouraged in every possible
way. After several seasons of work The
Star has got the Santa Claus Club on a
most practical basis, and every penny that
flows into the bank in the name of the
kindly saint and patron of the Yuletide is
given to Il useful object. There is no I'M
profitable sentiment about this work. Toys
and goodies are not TO be thought of until
every hungry mouth is illed with whole
some food, and every ragged garment is re-
placed by a good one; until fuel is bought for
empty CRATES, untli SHOES are given TO those
whose feet are smitten with the frosts of
winter. In every way possible the money
thus raised is used to alleviate suffering,
and not a penny goes for useless object.
The supervising principals of the various
schools made the immediate agents
for the distribution of the money and they
have performed their tasks so well in for
mer years that they are gladly chosen
again this season. Greater good can, of
course, be done by the donors of dollars
than by the younger folks with their
pennies, but every little helps so much
that no one should hesitate to give be-
cause he or she can spare but mite.
There is NJ more touching passage of the
Scriptures than that which tells us of the
widow, who. while giving little. gave
so much. Is that spirit gone from the
human heart? 1t is not possible, and the
records of The Star Santa Claus Club of for
mer years serve to show that the world is
full of generous givers. generous in the
manner of giving as well as in the amount.

Sufficient time has now elapsed since the
scandalous disclosures of the dishonesty
connected with the Panama canal project
for the world at large TO give to Nj. de
Lesseps, who died yesterday, the credit
that is due to him a great engineer and
a man of genius. 1t is not to be doubted
that IL the enormous funds which were
raised for this great work had been hon
estly administered the isthmus would long
ago have been pierced and the two oceans
Joined. The later cloud on the fame of
De Lesscps should not blind the world TO
his great talents, which were amply demon
strated by the splendid success of the Suez
Canal In the case of the Panama project
the difficulties to be overcome were much
greater, and 50 The talented engineer fell
into the hands of INSCRIPTIONS spectators
whose dishonesty necessarily reflected on
his own integrity.

but In other respects, as fntfmated above,
all the advantages are with the simpler
and more effective plan preferred by Mr..
Mcmillan. One great objection to that of
the Commissioners is that the present
transfer station would have to be MAIN
tanned on 18th street, where there Is no
room for it, with the probabilities of de-
mand for another at the 14th street, to
accommodate passengers changing cars
there. Another Is that with both the
Georgetown and Mt. Pleasant lines using
18th street, going either north or south, CO.
incidently with those of the Metropolitan
line between street and New York
avenue, that section of that thoroughfare
would be made about as dangerous as 18th
street Is now, and even more 50 when the
Metropolitan or + street line shall be
equipped with rapid motor power. A third
and hardly less serious objection to the
Commissioners plan, If it may be called
that, Is that, as now, the great bulk of the
18th street travel would be carried two
squares out of it's way at considerable loss
of time, and swung violently around three
curves, whereas by the other plan there
would be but one curve-at the l4th street
junction. AS probably 50 if not ~ per cent
OF the 14th street travel is bound to or
from points east of 14th street, instead of
from or toward Georgetown. this is a very
important consideration to a large portion
of the public. Finally. by placing the 14th
street branch junction on Pennsylvania
avenue, a single transfer station will be
sufficient for all needs. and, placed on the
south side of the avenue, II will occupy a
location where there is ample room for it,
without obstructing either vehicular or
pedestrian travel, and where 1t would not
be an eye-sore as now.
1t is possible that a better plan than
either of these may be devised, but none
other has been suggested as yet. AS be-
tween the two 1t will not be difficult to
choose the one that promises the more
effective means of relief and at the same
time the best accommodation for the
travelling public. What is needed however,
Is speedy and positive action toward in
surfing change from present conditions.
1t is not perhaps so much matter of form
as OF essence, though a matter of course
the best means to secure the desired ends
should be adopted. ..-...

The Usual Fate.

And delicate fancies were wont to fit
Through the beautiful pop-gun bill.
Twas smoothed and polished with tender
care
And the wild poetic thrill
Attained 50 seldom was truly there
In the beautiful pop-gun bill
But poems oft lie where the reaches creep
And the musty air Is chill,
And oblivion's basket wide and deep
Holds the beautiful pop-gun bill

1t will be of historical interest to

ton. Why : If we were restau-
ranters we would veritably stuff
our customers with cocoanut
pies and puddings. Who ever
saw tamarinds on the table
Preserved they are a condlment
inferior to none ever produced
here or elsewhere. But where
are they to be purchased! lam
arind trees are not, well, not
extinct. True. they do not seem
to be plentiful. We know, how
ever. that tamarInds are to be
had; but where +! We were able
to find but one place in Homo
lulu where they might be had,
and then only at big price. The
tamarind trees about your city
are aged. What if they should
die off together What if the
native foods and fruits actually
become extinct! Are you going
to train your stomachs to digest
food intended for those of colder
climes at the risk of succumbing
to such training; or are you, by
simply planting, caring for and
consuming these plants indigen-
Gus to your soil, going to save
your organs, purse, tempers ana
lives
This is the plan l would suggest;
Plant. Simply plant. Plant the
mango or the tamarind instead
Of the fg or grape Establish
cooking societies and teach the
Young idea how to cook taro,
vans, bananas, plantains, rice.
Rice. A fortune for a dish OF rice I!
We have not tasted rice since
putting foot ashore. And yet we
are surrounded with golden fields
of this ripening product. Pine
apples. Oh for a pineapple!
There are plenty of them grow
ing near US. But peep into the
fruit stores in the neighborhood
of Fort street and the possoffice.
Where are the pineapples? There
are perhaps a half-dozen over
there in an unfrequented corner.
What is the use of bringing
them forward. They are an I'M
saleable article and only nuts
ance;' you are told. Nobody
| wants them. They are not impor
ted. 1t is unaristocratic to eat
other than imported food Let

Joy to the persons who have list

itspropagation. Mrs. Thirds leaves
the country tomorrow. We hope
that the Theosophists in Homo
lulu will get along without
trouble during her absence, and
we hope that Mrs. Thirds will
find as fertile a soil on which to
plant the seeds of her convictions
% as she found in Honolulu.

A few nights ago a native
named Nahale was most cruelty

indignation and criticized the Of
fcers in a determined and even
harsh manner. The commander
of the army who was present at
the time of the row made all
necessary complaints to the
government, and the offenders
Will undoubtedly in due time be
discharged.
But why stop at this instance!
Why cork up the virtuous in
dignation, and allow the kanakas
to be "thumped" in the future?
Why not start in, if justice is
to be done, and right the great
wrong done to the Hawaiians by
the present rulers!
Why this pity and sympathy
for Nahale or any other kaiaka
who may and may not have been
thumped, while many thousands
have been hid more cruelty and
more seriously than the drunk
arrested by Tim Murray?
The kanakas have lost their in
dependence. They have seen
their franch Use cancelled, and
they have been deprived of their
civil rights.
They and their friends among
whom the majority of the kama
ainas is to be found have been
abused, insulted and prosecuted
by the present government, and
the "virtuous" Advertiser never
lifted hand for them or express.
