papa when he was a kid;
and the practice of coming
here with his dad helped to
make the pages of history
that is repeating itself.
The little fellows like us,

we send him home clothed

fellow likes us, cause
we do it at so small
cost. The youngsters

OVER THE TEA CUPS"
SIBYLLINE LEAVES.

Yesterday l found myself at meet
ing that represented the kindergarten
interest in the Islands. l do not know
why it should have been meeting
largely of women. Membership in the
Association merely requires gift OF
three dollars each year, and l under
stand that men form a good proportion
of givers. Perhaps they are willing to
confine their active duties to contrib
uting 1t may be that they are salts
fed to leave the care of all children to
women. Certain it is that women are
dren in the family, and the Free Kin
dergarten Association seems to be ably
caring for the children of the state,
the larger family.
My chief impression as l sat there
was that the Kindergarten is good
investment. 1t must be popular
charity, for many and wide are the
sources of it's money-rills. 1t must be
a pet philanthropy, it receives such
excellent care. 1t must be doing WELL
Judging by it's treasurer report. The
bold plans for its enlargement are
pretty fair evidence that it is generally
commended, and that the Kindergarten
is an accepted factor in Hawaiian con-
ditions.
Three appeals that were carefully
tucked away in my memory stay by
me. Of course the first was for more
money 1t always is, the same old
appeal, a necessary evil till it is done
away with by extreme measures, get
ting a permanent fund at one blow, or
becoming a professional heir to every
moneyed person. l doubt not the As
ISOLATION is ready for either, though |
did not hear it in so many words. The
pressure of personal influence was rec
commended, and the pairing of every
annual fee with a new twin fee is
good enough suggestion. A quick and
effective canvass of all possible givers
is also necessary. Undoubtedly this
philanthropy should be put on sound
money-basis. The prospect of raising
| four or five thousand dollars every
year is future perspective that the
treasurer and financial secretary can
| hardly face with equanimity. Far bet
ter it is to strain every nerve Gf need
| be), once for all to raise a permanent
endowment fund which already has a
| nucleus of $4,000, or which amounts
i to the same thing, to have each Kin
| dergarten endowed as the Hawaiian
| Kindergarten is. Let the many give as
| before, for giving begets enthusiasm
| but let all giving be for the permanent
| fund so that there may be little chance
| of the work ever being suddenly Grip
pied.

The children are looking to us for
help. In our own crowded city, in the
streets, on the slopes of Punchbowl,
up the length of Nuuanu and the
breadth of Palama, along the shores of
Waikiki and in the hooks of Punahou
and Manoa. Everywhere there are
little children ready for the blessing of
the Kindergarten. In all these places
money should be spent at once in fenc-
ing in sunny gardens for the waiting
children.

The method of establishing and
maintaining plantation Kindergartens
is quickly told-each plantation records

er who has used his influence for this
end, says it pays in dollars and cents

1T is doubtful whether the movement
IN Chicago by leading citizens to eIimi-
nate party lines IN local elections in that
city will have much effect. Their inten-
tons are no doubt good and the need Of
purifying the city government of Chicago
needs no argument for its demonstration.
But the efforts of the leading citizens"
will be at once nullIfed by the cry that
they ale m"n of wealth or do not earn
their bread by manual labor. This will
Kill any movement requ ring popular
support, no matter how dlsinterested it
may be IN Its inception nor bow praise.
Northy it is in its purpose.
1t is unfortunate that this should be
so. What is worse, the welI-meauinC but
lll-advised common people suffer more
from bad municipal government than do
the weather. classes. Wherever there Is
corruption it becomes wide IN its sweep,
but the weather classes can in measure
protect themselves against it, while labor
cannot. If a little more intelligence we're
put into the act of voting. if more INQUIRY
were made of the fitness of candidates

they pretend TO serve, party would suffer
but the people would be the gamers.

The Milwaukee Sentinel correspondent
at Madison sticks to his text pretty we'll.
Sundays Sentinel had the statement
from HIM that the new bill prepared by
the subcommittee is the fairest APP
portlonment made IN the state. a certain
teacher IN this county years ago was com
pairing the adjective "gcod." When he
reached the superlatlve "best" he was not
satisfied with the degree OF goodness ex-
pressed, and went one degree higher by
saying damn good" The Sentinel has
gone beyond this IN commencing the var1-
Gus constitutional and perfectly fair ap-
portionment bills the republicans have
prepared, and in order to be grammatical
must employ more able-bodied profanity
than did the Manitowoc county school
teacher. Dashes will do.

IT Is surprising to what an extent re-
publican newspapers go in support of the
principle that "whatever is is right if
the situation is republican. Before the
legislature convened In extraordinary
sesslon,-the adjective has wider signIf-
canoe than Its constitutional one as de-
scriptive of this session. all the republi-
can papers insisted that the proper thing
to do would be to pass the bill within "a
hours and then adjourn: that delay would
be utterly foolish; and that the bill read
for the legislature to adopt was the per-
feet work of perfect men who could not
do wrong if they tried. Now that the
session has extended into the second
week, these same papers insist that that
Is just the right thing to do; that to act
hastily would be foolish as the perfect
bill might be unconstitutional. No fault
could be found with republicans if they
were only frank enough to admit the
extra session was called to secure politi-
cal advantage. But no, it was solely to
show piece of perfect work.
