hearts of his confreres had fairly bled
at seeing him leaning on q bit of an inn
ported blackthorn when American soil
afforded a sturdier support. For that
reason they begged his acceptance OF
stout hickory staff, with a curled ham
die, convenient for arresting the too
rapid progress of the ubiquitous street

as an insignia of his office. Martin was
finally reminded that with a bit of "Old
Hickory" in his hand he would never
again slip from political grace. but
guide his footsteps in the way he should
go.
Considering that Martin is dyed-in-
the-wool Republican, the insinuations
against his bona fides in carrying an inn
ported stick and also the allusion to "Old
Hickory" being his guide henceforth
made him souirm. But he had no rest,

not forget that the people of Honolulu

were never able to carry their point.
When this paper placed its approval
on the recent action of Minister Cooper
it was remarked that the object of gov
eminent is regulation and not prohi-
bition. This principle holds good in
HilO as well as Honolulu, and if the
experiment of Sunday concerts under

can see no reason why the Sunday con-
certs in Honolulu should not be discon-
tinued.

PREVENTING ACCIDENTS AT SEA.
A very interesting starting appliance,
are used on the French cruiser Bou-
vines, is describe in the Revue Mari
time ct ColoniaIe. Here the distrib-
uting valve of the steam steering ap-
paratus is not automatically moved by
the apparatus itself, but by small
electrical motor, quite independent of
the steering gear, and the latter follows
the movement of the valve. The start
ing of the motor is done from the
deck by means of governing apparatus.
Here, however, the current is not led
direct into the motor, but first to re-
lay, which then in it's turn governs the
motor current. The working of the
governor apparatus on deck is effected
according to a rudder indicator, which
contains several numbered lamps.
These different lamps correspond with
certain rudder angles, and are lift up
by the movement of the tiller.

CHICAGO AS A LITERARY CENTER


The report of the Chicago Public Lii
brary for the year ending June L shows
that 1,173, $50 volumes were circulated
from the library and it's sub-stations
during the year. The city of Manches-
ter, Eng, had a circulation of 975,944.
Boston follows next, with SAT 1921, and
Birmingham, in England, had S18,312
volumes. This statement shows that
Chicago leads the world as a reading
centre. It's Public Library contains
PIT ,203 bound volumes, and this indi
Gates that each volume was read by
an average of over five persons during
the year. The demand for periodicals
and books of reference shows an aggre-
gate circulation of 2,542,244, which
demonstrates a call rather for useful
knowledge than for entertainment.
These figures show that the Public
Library in Chicago is reaching the
masses of people to a larger extent
than in any other city of the country
and are a gratifying evidence of its use
fulness. There are, at least three other
libraries in that city which are used for
reference only, but which already give
it a certain prestige.-BostOn Herald.

HILo SUNDAY CONCERTS.

The suggestion from the Executive
Council that the time is not yet ripe
for Sunday band concerts in Hilo has
indeed raised a storm from the galleries.
The organ of the Conservative Club
naturally improves the opportunity to
call the Government pleasant names
and give vent to it's spleen. The situa-
ton is rather peculiar, we must admit,
but it is impossible to believe that the
final sober judgment of the sensible
people of Hilo will follow along the
tangent struck off by the Tribune.
So far as the Government control of
the concert is concerned, there seems
to be no reason why the sheriff cannot
enforce the same control over the Hilo
band that is held over the Government
band playing at Makee Island. The pro-
grams could be made out subject to
the approval of the executive officer of
the Island and if the concerts were at
tended by Sunday carousals or any of
the evils which sometimes creep into
the liberal Sabbath, the Government
certainly has the power to put a stop
to the concerts. The Government ought
not to countenance among its agents
liberties which it refuses to the private
individual.
Another phase that has never been
brought out in public print or in any
other way that we are aware, is whether
or no the citizens of Hilo are favorable
to the move In referring to citizens we
do not mean this faction or that faction,
but the general public of Hilo, ire
spective of class, clan or present or
previous condition of social servitude
or association. Our esteemed contem-
porary would have the public believe
that not so much as one dissenting
Sunday concert. If this is true Hilo is
the most remarkable town on this mum
dane sphereoid. Now we would like to |
know if there is but one side to this /
whose opinions have been sighted by !
the band concert boomers and who have |
not been heard?
1t will be remembered that before the
concerts were inaugurated at Makee
Island a general canvass of the resi-
dents in that district and the people of
Honolulu was made. There was no
bluff and bluster, but q quiet review of
the situation. We would suggest, then,
that the Hilo band concert advocates
