Common Sense and Corsets.

The bicycle craze has had a decided In

lean women not endowed with small waists
have resorted to every available means
to secure that chic appearance so dear to
every feminine heart and of which small
waist has always been a leading feature.
They have listened courteously to the
warning against tight lacing and given
their corsets an extra twist as a COM
mentary. The laws of health have little
weight when they do not harmonic with
the laws of fashion.

of all sorts are the proper caper for the
women of to-day to follow comes the loos-
ching of corset strings and the adoption OF

which is very different from that extremely
high-bust corset with the long waistline

1t is notorious that the retailer has many

order to retain the patronage of the GUS

pair of corsets. while as matter of fact,
IL was not that the corset had given poor

good sense in the selection of her corset.

mere fact that a President entertains
economic views at variance with some
bill passed by Congress does not
authorize him to lug out his veto pow
er and deal death to the measure. That
was not the purpose for which the
veto was invented, and to so use it
makes PRESIDENT little less than an
autocrat. While in congress you will
find that vote after vote was cast BY

on general lines between the President
and the Representatives. Certainly
the same thought obtained to a length
in the Senate, but there the act was
rather upheld on merit, Mr.. McCand-

ident has suffered neither loss of dig

strength of Hawaii alone and with
reference to her relations with The
United States. There is very large
element here that is beginning TO APP
preciate that Hawaii should be more
pronounced in maintenance of the
place and station she has assumed in
the family of nations. In many, many
instances have small governments
been powerful and great. Examples
exist today and until Hawaii makes
closer alliance with the United States
she should boldly keep herself in this
category.
1t appears that Mr.. Dole has lace
fully accepted the tabling CT his veto.
He is too wise a statesman and too
good a President to do otherwise. As
was suggested in the House, there
may have been other reasons beyond
those given in the message for 1igap-
proving the act. In any egent the
President has doubtless done his full
duty without fear. 1t is most arat-
flying of all to have the assurance
that the veto was in preparation be-
fore the delegation of Japanese mcr-
chants called at the Capitol. OF
course they were entitled to a hearing
and consideration, but the action of
the incident discloses that there was
no faint of policy" or effect of real
or implied intimidation. This dis
closure, following on the heels of the
showing that Portuguese procession
could not inspire fear at the State
House, evidences in that quarter just
the stamina and nerve and Judgment
that is needed. 1t will carry Hawaiian
political problems of all character to
a successful conclusion.

THE VETO.

In an interview quite recently Jas.
L. Campbell, ex-governor of Ohio and
the possible choice of the Democratic
National convention, gave his views
on the veto power. sUtterances from
such man on such subject are edu-
cational. Only to limited degree
are they applicable to the Hawaiian
Executive disapproval of the sake act.
At the same time Mr.. Campbell makes
clear that which is doubtful in many
minds here. He said:
"My notion of the veto had ample
expression while L was a member of
the House during Cleveland's first
term. / did not then and do not now
regard the veto power as something
it in the molding of legislation. The
White House is not law-making pow
err, nor was the veto created by the
Constitution to enable the President
to control House and Senate in pass
ing the laws. 1t was meant as a
check; to correct obvious mistakes
and overhasty legislation, and to act
as a brake when some grave constitu-
tional departure was attempted. 1t
was not intended to permit the Pres
ident any dictatorial pose in affairs of
pure tariff, finance, appropriations
and those law-making functions which
pertain peculiarly to Congress. The

the changes that might be rung on each

1t is confidently stated by French au.
thority that the red spots and pimples that
sometimes dishgure the complexion in the
spring may be discouraged by the use of a
wash made by infusing the flowers of
spinach. The wash should be applied sew
eral times a day. A great deal of spinach
should also be eaten, and leeks should form
part of the bill of fare. The onion is
everywhere acknowledged to be most ben
eficial In its effects, not only on the diges-
ton and therefore the skin, but on the
nerves. 1t Is far more powerful sedative
than lettuce, which is so frequently rec
commended for it's quieting influence.

OF course there must be street

The Advertiser urges in revival of
an old agitation. But lots of people
will be sorry when they come. Half
of the charm of this delightful town
lies in the absence of these practical
formalities. 1t is pleasure to learn
and know the paths and windings
without the assistance of signboards.
1t is treat, also, to instruct an in

it makes the city seem old and pictur-
esque and odd, and that is always
romantic. AS to the criticism of the
Minister of interior, it is simply out
of order. He has very properly been
waiting for some decided street
changes that are to be made. A large
number of new thoroughfares are to
be opened up and the entire job can
then be finished up at once in good
