She is young. very fair and talks ex-

over on Cottage street was to the effect
that she was the daughter of a prom

was convinced that he had done very
wrong in fighting for the South. and
who on his death bed had told his
family to do all in its power To undo
the wrong. So his daughter had trav-

she was gone no one could find Kenney

Football is taking a great splurge and
is being played vigorously in all parts
of the country. Surely we can safely
call football the national winter game
Just as reasonably as we can call base
ball our national game i'll summer.
There is no doubt about it, the game
has now got far and beyond the crazy
stage. 1t comes now mighty near be
ing the most popular outdoor American
game While, of course, the great in
tercst is attached to the elevens
of the big colleges il is doubtless
Il fact that the teams of the smaller
colleges are getting stronger. And why
ing the benefits of being instructed by
the best and wisest players that have
arts and tricks known to the great
teams are being taught to the teams
of the smaller institutions. And. bear
in mind. Young America is now learn
ing the game before he goes to college
at all, and this fact is helping the small
colleges. So that it is easy to see that
no college, no matter how big. can eX-
pect to have a monopoly of the star
features of the game. Football is pro-
crossing all round, and that is the best
feature in connection with it.

The Advertiser expresses the hope
that something may now be heard
from the direction of the Annexation
Club" From the direction" is rath-
er severe and quite peculiar after the
sturdy claims lately put forth by the
Advertiser. The unwillingness or the
inability of the Advertiser hui-in-
Guiding advisory editors-to be open
and above board is shown when it is
known that runners from the direc-
ton" have been out these several
days. An application has been made
for the Drill Shed, and use is granted.
The Advertiser has known this. 1t is
right enough to move, but why the
secrecy? Are not all equally interested
in any step that may be taken? Why
not openly call an open meeting?

The law for the Torrens system of
land transfer, which has been sug-
gested for use here, has been declared
unconstitutiona in the State of Hi
nOis by the Supreme Court. This,
however, is not a condemnation of the
statute as a working regulation. The
trouble in Illinois simply was that
the new law conferred upon county Of
ficials certain authority which the
constitution had expressly stipulated
should not rest with them, but with
courts of record. The Torrens system
has lost no friends. 1t originated in
the British Colonies and is destined %
be used in all business countries in
due time. It's purpose is to make
land transfers easy by substituting
for the bulky abstracts of title, GER
tificate of title, which can be taken
from the records of the register Of
titles in few minutes.

Thomas Paine, in his age of
Reason" after telling in a few lines
what he does believe as to religion, re-
marks that he will proceed to declare
the things he does not believe and his
reasons for not believing them.
1t is merely a repetition for The
Star to announce as its national polit-
zeal faith adherence to the policy of
the "closer political union" of Hawaii
and the United States, intent to sup
port any reasonable means for bring
ing about an alliance, and fealty to an
an agreement that will give Hawaii
her full due in the deal.
This is annexation as it can be sem
sibly viewed, achieved and accepted
This is annexation without unreason-
ing claptrap. This implies more con-
sideration than there can be in the
yawps or schemes of demagogues. The
Star, from the first day of it's publ
cation, has represented here and spok-
en- for the Americanism defined in the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States-toO
broad and bold ana 1air for puuy
minds filed with prejudice and ever
ready, in the greed for personal polit-
ical gain to trim and hedge and COM
promise.
The Star does not speak for or rep
resent any section of the citizenship
that puts self-interest ahead of the
common good; any section that be-
lieves in rule by back-room conclave;
any section that divides annexation
lists into castles; any section that ar
raigns nationality against nationality;
any section that thinks five men can
speak off-hand for 5000 in a popular
movement; any section that conspires
to force man out of his employment
and the countr- when he presumes to
criticise their methods; any section
that thinks certain family and its
official attaches should be supreme;
any section that breaches or practices
political moderation; any section that
assists in shaping a recommendation
to the Government and then sneaks
around with counter-effect council;
any section that quits when the run
ming gets warm, then bobs up serenely
when an easy way is in sight.
These are a few for whom The Star
does not speak.

Men and women are but
older children and enjoy re-
ceiving gifts quite as much as
the little tots. Some mothers
and wives enjoy baubles;
others of more frugal turn of
mind appreciate something for

We have heard of ladies who
hung up their stocking, ex-
pecting to find box of bon
bons in it on awakening, but
instead, were gratified to find
a set of French China. We
do not advise this, because,
unless the stocking is especially
strong it is apt to be injured.
