Our contemporary remarks about
the columns on columns of good road
material it has published reminds us
of the bicycle dude who started out to
make a century run. After riding two
or three miles he became tired and sat
by the side of the road while small
boy, for a consideration, took the job
of spinning the front wheel of the ma
chine till the cycIometer showed the
requisite number of miles. Having
become thoroughly rested the bicyclist
mounted his wheel, rode back to the
club house and began to tell stories
of what wonderful run he had made.
So our esteemed contemporary noted
for it's superabundance of wheels,
tells great stories of what it has done
but that is the first the public knew
of it

Some idea Of Chinese liberty is OBJ
tanned from the story told by Tokyo
paper Of how mandarin named Wang
Pang Yum in a letter to the Empress
Dowager implored that lady to remem-
Der that China's finances are in a bad
condition and that the country could
not recover from the disgraceful de-
feat suffered at the hands Of the Jap
anese unless the utmost economy were
exercised. Her Majesty should there
fore forego the pleasure OF having new
palaces built for her. 1t was confident
ly expected that the daring official
would be beheaded. His life has, how
ever, been spared at the instance of
the Emperor, who admired his courage.
He was banished from the court, but
it is said that the Emperor will short
ly recall him with great honors. What
wonder is it that the Chinese have
developed a racial trait which leads
them to meekly bow in submission to
ironclad and sword pointed oppression.

ACTION BETTER THAN WARNING.

In the Hilo Tribune of recent date
there appeared this remarkable item:
"a rather high handed action was at
tempted during the week. The matter
is not a light affair to deal or write
about 1t suffices to say that a young
woman of this town was intlced TO take
a hack ride up the volcano road. She
was accompanied by a younger sister,
by whose presence the elder one was
saved from the plans of disreputable
parties. A warning is given, and this
should be sufficient for the parties con-
cerned."
We must admit the truth of the
statement which places the above as
no light affair to deal with or write
about, but the substance of that one
item represents the disgraceful core
of the foundation of some of the evils
that exist in this country. People hold
up their hands in holy horror when
such cases are brought to notice, and
cautiously recommend that the matter
be kept quiet and allowed to blow
over" They would even object to an
item like the above being placed in
newspaper, and appear shocked if the
names were mentioned and the miser
able wretch of mankind exposed. If
false modesty ever existed, and if good
people ever did anything injurious to
the social welfare of the community,
such false modesty and such injury is
exemplified in the tendency to pass
over lightly what in this country
comes under the category of ''unmen-
tionable."
As to the persons or the details to
which the Hilo Tribune refers, we
know absolutely nothing, but we take
it for granted that the editor knew
what he was talking about. But mark
the indifference with which such an
affair is received. Let the same thing
happen in the Southern States and
stringing up by the thumbs would be
too good for the man; let the same
thing occur in the average Anglo
Saxon community and the culprit
would be ostracised from decent socie-
ty and eventually run out of town.
What happened in Hilo? Nothing. And
the same would probably be true in
Honolulu, where the moral condition
of the lower classes is dwelt upon
with such solicitude There need be
no hope for Improvement among the
lower classes when the circles even a
few degrees higher treat immortality,
which is nothing more or less than
most damnable criminality, as some

A Pleasant Mention.

One of the popular and exclusive
society publications of New York,
called "Form," had this to say of
one of our Logan young ladies, after a
visit at Columbus, under the head of
Columbus News:
"MIss Kate Evelyn Friesner is
visiting her sister Miss Henrietta E.
Friesner, on Fifth Avenue, West.
Miss Friesner is the daughter of
Judge John Frlesner, of Columbus,
but makes her home with he grand
mother at Logan, O. Miss Friesner
divides her time between her fathers
residence and the Logan home. She
is recognized belle, possessing not
only facial beauty, bat also envlable
mental attainments. She has light
brown hair aad hazel eyes. Miss
Friesner attended the private school
of Miss Phelps,at Columbus, and is a
favorite wherever she goes"
Accompanying the foregoing was a
cut Of Miss Friesner, taken from a
photograph by our fellow townsman
McLain. Among other prominent
women represented in Form are pict-
ures OF Mrs. Mckinley, Mrs. Hobart
Mrs. Whitney, etc. So Logan is
keeping abreast of the social world,
and we can suggest no one who could
have represented our town more able
and appropriately than the young lady
in Question.
