1t has been noticed that in the French
departments where forests have been
cut down there has been a marked de-
crease in the number of births and an
increase in that of deaths during thirty
years In the last five years the excess
of deaths over births was $685. and the
mortality in the departments was nine
times as great as in the rest of France
M. Jeannel infers from this that the
forests are an important factor in the

There are some persons who have
borne arms in the service of the United
States in wars before 1861 who are not
on the pension rolls. There are veter-
ans and widows of veterans of the sew
eral Indian wars between 1882 and 1912
scattered over the West and South,
and there are five survivors who took
part in the Seminole war in Florida in
1S17-181s. OF the Indian wars later than
1882 down to 1860 there are great
many survivors. SO that the total mum
Der of beneficiaries under an act to
pension these veterans and widows of
veterans is probably about 1000 To
pension this number will require about
$750,000 year, and the Senate commit
tee on pensions has drafted a bill to
this effect.

Those who supposed that there
has been any decline in amateur
dramatic art among the young peo-
pie of Honolulu had the illusion
dispelled Tuesday evening, when
the ''Jane" company gave one of
the finest performances ever wit
messed on the stage in this country.
With one exception the talent was
from the local ranks, and Mr.. Lew
ers' first appearance here in drama
since he has assumed a professional
role was indeed highly gratifying
to the many who have heard of the
success of his career while abroad.
The best tribute that can be paid
to the dramatic event of the festi-
val season is the assurance that a
repetition of the play would draw
a crowded house.

The Washington Star has I'M
earthed the fact that the American
Protective Association sent out cir
culars from the headquarters in
Washington, suggesting ChaV the
members of the order withhold
votes from Candidate Bryan. The
cause of this action was SAID to be
due to Mr.. Bryan's letter in which
he said he objected to any order
that Disseminated against any
church. Some politicians have
held that this action of the a. P.
A. will do much to bring about a
division of the national vote on re-
ligious lines. Such a result is pos
sible, but with Archbishop Ireland
coming out against Bryan, it seems
hardly probable that the religious
orders, either Catholic or Protest
ant, will come into any direct clash
of sufficient proportions to cause
any great massing of forces for or
against the candidates for Presi-
dent.

Honolulu athletes are bound to
keep up with the times in follow
ing the customs of the Thanks
giving season. The foot ball en-
thusiasts are promised some excel
lent exhibitions during the series
of games to be played by the local
teams in the next few weeks. Al
though this game is usually a cold
weather sport, and the spectator
hardly feels that he can enjoy the
game without being obliged to
stamp his feet and rustic around
to keep warm, the young men of
Honolulu give promise of putting
plenty of energy and vim into their
play, and keeping up their reputa-
ton for freedom from the languid
and enervating influences of the
tropics. The desire to tackle with
Pacific coast rush lines seems TO
have passed away, and it is just as
we'll that such is the case. The foot
ball teams ought to be satisfied
with gaining a reputation at home,
where they are assured interested
and enthusiastic spectators.

The next mail to arrive here
from the coast, so far as is now
known, will be due here on Mon
day, the 10th inst, by the Aus
tralia. The last arrived Novem-
Der 2, by the Peru, and the inter-
val between the two mails will be
fourteen days, the longest mailless

that some tramp grain steamer
from the coast may touch here for
coal, and bring papers announcing
the result of the Presidential cleo
ton, but no vessel is expected from
there before the Australia. The
City of Picking, from the Orient,
is scheduled to leave this port on

may arrive on the 15th-next
Sunday. But as the weather to the
westward has doubtless been stor-
my, she may not be in before the
Australia. The Alameda is due

south, but as she left Auckland
before the election took place, she
can bring no news of the result.

NOVEMBER IL.
"RAINES LAW" RESULTS.

In a recent issue of the Outlook
is given a review of report+made
by Senator Raines of New Y ork in
defense of the liquor law passed at
the last session of the State Legis-
lature. The Senator deals entirely
with the financial side of the prop
osition, and makes it clear that the
measure he fathered successfully
has been a beneficial venture to
the State treasury. Whereas under
the old law New York City had
1O,118 licensed drinking places,
yielding a revenue of 81, 100000,
it now has 1910 bringing places,
yielding $4,857, 600, or a reduc-
ton of 81 per cent in the former
and an increase of over 100000
in the public income.
This is all very well and entirely
satisfactory to the purely merce-
nary individual. The people at
large are pleased to know that the
people of New York are paying
their full tribute for the liberty of
gratifying a depravedappetite. But
temperance legislation has for its
first object a salutary effect upon
the moral status of the body po-
lite. 1t is not so much the price
that is paid in dollars and cents, or
the number of places where liquor
can be obtained, as it is the amount
of spirituous liquor consumed that
the earnest reformers are watching
most assiduously. With such no
table decrease in the number of
drinking places, a most natural
conclusion is that the consumption
has been lessened to a greater or
less degree, but no figures have yet
been obtained to prove this fact.
The workings of the Raines law
during the past year have shown
that the measure. is by no means
perfect, and the next Legislature
will be called upon to make new
definition for the terms meals"
E'hotels" and guests" The spirit
of the law has been repeatedly
usurped by the establishment of
bogus hotels, furnishing bogus
meals to so-called guests, who look
at the sandwich beside their plates
and satisfy their appetites with
whisky. To more clearly define
these terms and thereby make the
law all it was intended to be, an
act to hold in check the degrading
Influence of the liquor traffic, will |
be the task to which the temper
ance reformers of New York will |
set themselves the coming winter.
The accomplishment of this re-
vision of the law will be a greater
victory than securing the passing
of the original act In no State in
the United States is the whisky |
element more powerful or better
prepared to fight any influence at
work to save the people from the
multifarious ills growing out of in
temperance.

As he was either insane or shamming

At the hospital Zimmerman gave every
sign of being insane. He Kept yelling for

Billy was, he said he was lawyer in San

The COMING TAX-LEN
Real Estate Owners Anxious to
Avert a Raid on Prop
erty.
The Grand Jury Will Consider the
Subject To Morrow
Night.

The Grand Jury's determination to do
everyth ing within the range OF its power
to prevent the imposition of an increased
tax levy is regarded with great favor by
the taxpayers. Owners of real esta tie are
especially anxious that some firm measure
should be adopted at once to check
municipal extravaganza.
At the special meeting of the jury next
Monday evening many important COM
munications on the subject will be sub
mitted. By that time the expert, Horace
Dunn, may have report to show definite
ly wher elm the proposed estimates are ex-
travagant.
The fact is taken into account that the
City must provide large sum of money
for registration and election expenses.
The law as it stands now requires many
safeguards to protect the voters, and the
expense of hiring clerks, providing
polling booths. counting the ballots ana
making returns is not small item. 1t is
therefore essential to keep other allawences
down to the limit of reasonable economy
III order to provide means for the election
without increasing the aggregate cost of
local government over that OF the presen
year.
Members of the Grand Jury are con-
WINGED by statements coming to them
from all classes of the community thai the
City cannot stand another high tax levy.
Building enterprises contemplated must
be abandoned ii a tax raid is to come.
Men who have shown disposition to in
vest money are becoming alarmed at the
prospect Of ruinous levy. Their fears
have been communicated to the Grand
Jury, with the hope that something can
be done to promote confidence in building
and real estate circles.
