PROGRESS, THE wATcHwoRD.

Today the question of the loan bills
will come up for discussion in the Sen
ate. These bills will doubtless meet
with opposition from the party which
represents the six per cent. bondhold-
ers, but they should meet with the hon.
decreasing our interest account and put
ting ourselves in a position to enable
the Minister of Finance to find the
means for carrying on our improve
ments. To talk of 100000 as the limit
of the loan, which is the desire of the
majority committee report, is, to our
mind, simply childish. At least double
that sum will be required for productive
public works during the next two years.
We can go on waiting and waiting till
those who are grey-headed now are laid
In the grave, and those whose heads
are decked with curls have changed
the color of their locks to grey, and
nothing will be done but a little leak
stopping. If the broad policy of general |
it be carried out now, and not waste an
other two years, and then goodness
knows how many years on top of that, /
before attempting anything. The policy |
Of letting things slide is suicidal. We
believe there are those amongst US
who are veritable Rip Van Wrinkles. We
do not grudge them their sleep. Let
them slumber peacefully, but do not let
them insist that we all should join them
in their slumbers. The party of progress
must be to the fore land the sleepy
element should be inform
ed that a young country like this is
awake and must keep awake if it is TO
hold it's own in the race for material .
progress.

In the current issue of the Outlook
is given an interesting review of a
pamphlet issued by Professor Dreher
of Roanoke College, Va, showing the
wonderful growth of the public libraries
in the United States. Although it is
stated that the growth of this public
benefit has been far more rapid than
was anticipated when first introduced,
we doubt whether it has kept pace with
the rapid development of the country
as a whole. Twenty years ago it was
hoped that the Congressional library
might number half million volumes
at the end of the next two decades. In
less than one decade it passed that fig
ure, and Congress has been called upon
to prepare for housing no less than four
million volumes.

ANNEXATION.

In a speech to the Mississippi Con-
gress the Hon. Hugh Craig made an
address upon the Hawaiian question,
which contains some excellent argu-
ments for annexation. He pointed out
how important our commerce was. That

Notwithstanding that the country
may be regarded as harping on an old
string, we would suggest that some of
our worthy solons present an annexa-
ton resolution during the present ses-
sion of the Legislature. While it is
highly improbable that the annexation
question will come before the United
States Congress at this session, it will
be well to let the American law makers
know before they go home for the Presi:-
Dental fight that the people of Hawaii
are anxiously and hopefully watching
their movements.

of our exports have gone TO and sew
come from the United States. That the
social arrangements of Hawaii are SINH
lar to those of the United States. That
the religion Of the bulk of the people
is the same; that our children go to the
colleges and universities of the United
States, while the school system is mod
eled upon the lines of the free schools
Of the Great Republic.
Hugh Craig in this speech hit the
nail on the head. The civilization, the
religion, the commerce, the language
and the education of these Islands has
come almost entirely from the United
States. We are really, practically, a
portion of California. How very differ
ent are these Islands from Cuba. There
the language is alien, the business
methods alien, the population bred and
in Latin and not Anglo-Saxon
civilization. And yet there are people
who strongly advocate the annexation
of that island; but every word written
in favor of the annexation of Cuba tells
with redoubled force when applied to |
Hawaii. The time cannot be now far |
distant when the statesmen of the |
United States will decide that there
must be an additional star on the ban
her of the Republic. and that that star
shall represent Hawaii.

Some years ago the Boston Public
Library Association placed it's probable
limit at 100000 volumes, and now its
new building which is one of the archi-
| tectural features of the country, con-
tains over half a million volumes. Five
years ago there were 3,S03 public Ii
braries in the United States, averaging
one thousand volumes each. The ma
| jority of these institutions were found
| in the States bordering on the North
| Atlantic. Massachusetts led the move
ment to place the best literature at the
disposal of the public, and the Massa-
chusetts Legislature claims the honor
of having levied the first tax in the his
tory of the world for the support of
public libraries. New York followed in
the wake, and now about twenty North
ern and Western States have passed
free library laws and are on the road
to follow the example of Massachusetts,.
library movement has not been marked,
but with the new lease of Industrial life
which the South has taken it is safe to
predict that this evidence of progressive
civilization will not long be left to lam
guish in oblivion.
AS the advance of country in real |
is indicated and predicted |
far better by facts connected with the
extension of the library system than by
he dollars and cents which the business
men handle, it becomes a pertinent
question whether our own nation has
not reached the point where it should
offer more substantial aid to the free
public libraries than it has done in the
)ast. We are fortunate in having pub
ic-spirited citizens who have brought
me or two public libraries into exist
nee, but the extension and growth
would be far more rapid and beneficial
the Government were to render time .
Y assistance by granting an occasional
to give our people free &C
ess to the best literature of the day.

PETTY LICENSES.

State Senator Perrin has set the Iowa
Legislature to thinking by introducing
bill which provides for a license on
alcohol consumers. Should his bill be-
come law, no citizen of the State will
be allowed to obtain liquor over a bar
who is unable to show document stat
ing that he has been duly licensed to
obtain drinks across the bar in the
regular manner. The license costs two
dollars year, and any saloon keeper
selling to a person without a license
is liable to fine of ten dollars for each
offense. Another provision is that if a
protest is filed by any relative over
fourteen years of age, the license may
be refused. Senator Perrin has hit upon
a decidedly unique method of stamping
out the liquor habit, although we doubt
American Union will pass any such law.
If our present system of license is to
be continued such a law would just fit
Hawaii. We cannot say that we heartily

much, if not more, justice in it as there |
is in placing a premium upon every |

inalienable right to pour whisky down
his throat if he wants to. If, however,
a man cannot engage in business with
out paying an advance price for the lib
erty, there is no reason in the wide
world why heshould not pay tribute for
the continuance of an evil habit that
has wrought more harm than any other
in the category of sin and iniquity.
Placing our population at 100000, we

AND MEDICAL ETHICS.

trial has recently been concluded
in London which has caused large
amount of interest and has resulted in
an award of 100000, the largest damages
ever given in an English court of law
in case for libel and SANDER. The par
ties to the suit were Mrs. Arthur Kitson,
plaintiff, and DR.. Playfair, one of the
leading West End physicians, defend
ant 1t will be of interest to remember
that DR.. Playfair visited the Islands
some three or four years ago. DR.. Play
fairs wife is sister-in-law to the
plaintiff
In 1892. says the Argonaut, from
which we extract the story, Mrs. Kitson
came from Australia, leaving her hus-
band in Port Darwin. Fourteen months
after her arrival she became so ill
that her physician called in DR.. Play
fair, who is an obstetric specialist. She
was examined and operated upon. AS
the result of the operation DR.. Playfair
considered that she had been an I'M
her to Mrs. Playfair. Her brother-in
law, Sir James Kitson, in consequence,
withdrew an allowance of $500 which
he had paid her, and she was socially
ostracised. On the case being tried, |
DR.. Skinner, also an able specialist,
gave testimony in favor of Mrs. Kitson.
But the case, after all, did not hinge |
upon Mrs. Kitson's guilt, though Incl
dentally she was cleared, but rested !
upon medical ethics.
A number of prominent physicians
testified that it was entirely within the
discretion of the twenty thousand medi-
cal gentlemen in England to reveal pro-
fessional secrets if they deemed it
duty for the protection of wife and
family. Justice Hawkins, in reviewing
he testimony, said that if such was
he professional view of medical ethics,
t was necessary for people to be very I
,areful in selecting their medical men.

A prominent writer has put damper
on the aspirations of the new woman by
telling her that if she ascends to the
plane Of the masculine gender she must
do it at the expense of her personal
beauty. Her nose will grow red and
pointed and her elbows sharp; in fact
she will lose many of the more effective
and much sought for charms, both
physical and mental, that are now the
blessing of womankind Possibly this
is the reason why some of the advocates
of newwomanism never had these
charms to start with. It's poor rule

King Menelek is evidently better

who find an inexplicable anomaly in the
fact that the action of all the people of
civilized nations are not always in keep

the religious teachers sent to foreign
lands. The Abyssinian king recently
had occasion to address an English mis-
