revival of the annexation feeling on the
Islands, and say it is greatly Intensified
through the belief that should Hawaii
be annexed to the United States the
threatened japanese trouble would be
entirely wiped out by the abrogation
OF all existing treaties.

treaty, entered into with japan about
thirteen years ago, japanese may pour

They now number $4,000, and are com

rate OF 1000 year. He thinks it is
only question of few years until
the japanese will outnumber the ma

in that case would cause serious
trouble. They are already demanding
the right OF franchise, which by treaty
Is conferred upon them as soon as

from honest sporting contests, and al
though we have no varsity crews and
record breaking 'phenoms, the coun-
try has sturdy lot of young men of
whom it may well be proud, and whose
ability should be rewarded by liberal
public patronage, The fact that the
contestants come from the business
houses, where their noses are held TO
the proverbial grindstone for a good
portion of the year, is one of the very
good reasons why there should be
''let-up" once in the year for their par
ticular benefit. Then. too, the social

COFFEE GROWERS SHOULD Or
CAME.

The Hilo Tribune has come forward
with the recommendation for the or
ganization OF the coffee growers of the
Islands for the purpose Of grading the
coffee through an authorized agent,
and putting it on the market in such
a way that dealers all over the world
will be able to order coffee of a desig-
mated grade, and be sure OF the quality
they viii receive" This subject was
preached by this paper some time ago,
and is certainly a proposition on which
all the coffee producers ought 10 unite
in carrying out. Although the industry
is quite in its infancy, the time viii
soon come when the question OF mar
keung the crop viii be live issue.
That there is always a good market
for coffee ought not to produce such
g feeling Of confidence that the plant
ers viii fail TO organize and be fully
prepared TO place the Hawaiian pro-
duct on the market to the best pos
sible advantage. For every planter to
paddle his own canoe" and let the
other fellow take care of himself, the
inevitable result must be q gradual
loss OF prestige which the Hawaiian
product now has. Brands of coffee, good,
bad and Indifferent, may be forced
upon the market and the purchaser
have comparatively little assurance as
10 the quality OF the coffee he obtains.
Whatever may be the success OF the
plantations, the time has come when
there ought to be an active. healthy
national association of coffee planters.

business are learning the lesson as they

REFORM SCHOOL PUNISHMENT

The disposition of some members of
the Board of Education to call for the
resignation of Superintendent Need
4 ham of the reform school seems alto
gether ll-advised, unless they are in
possession of facts not yet made public.
All signs point TO gross insubordina-
ton on the part of the boys at the
school, and the principal complaint ap-
pears to be that one OF the boys has a
blister on his back as the result of a
blow from strap. The blister may be
source of regret for the boy, but
when the inmates of an Institution at
tack an officer it is time blister was
RI ised somewhere. A great many peo-
pie forget that although reform school
boys are little fellows and oftenumes
innocent looking creatures, they are
by no means angelic in their general
demeanor. Moral suasion can be prac-
ticed TO certain extent, and should be
favored so far as possible. When, how
ever, the best boys in the land are
treated TO sound spankings as a last
resort 10 curb their superfiuous spirit.
il is not reasonable to expect that the
inmates of reformatory can be gov
erned without occasional use of the rod.
A system used in many of the re-
formatories in the States is to allow
only the superintendent or his first as
sistant to administer corporal punish |
ment This scheme has worked very
we'll in institutions where the inmates
DO not number over one hundred and
fifty 10 two hundred; if it were in
vogue in the larger reformatories the
superintendent would degenerate into
a spanking machine. When any, case
Of INSTRUMENTATION occurs. the officer
in charge reports the matter to the SUI
perintendent, who decides upon the
punishment and administers il. This
prevents any possibility of the abuse OF
power on the part of the officers direct
ly in charge of the boys. The use OF
straps is usually forbidden, and the old
fashioned sehoolmaster's ferrule IS
deemed sufficient TO quen the insubordi-
nate youngster.
In case OF an attack upon an officer,
similar to that which occurred at the
school recently, close confinement and
a sound whipping would be the
usual treatment. To the thoughrlessly
kind hearted this might seem severe;
yet if the punishment Is given under
the direction of superintendent who
IS somewhat OF q disciplinarian, the re
suit has always proved beneficial.

During the evening the play "A Fac
