1t ia generally reported that Presi-
dent Dole declined to appoint Mr..
e. p. Dole to the Office OF Circuit
Judge. Nepotism cannot be- charged
against the chief Of the Hawaiian
oligarchy. The Government will
now have hard time in finding a
suitable man for the job. Mr.. E. p.
Dole is eminently suited for the
judgeship, and it is to be deplored
that tho admirable sensitiveness OF
the President prevents him from
getting the appointment. Arthur
Brown would have been appointed
Deputy Attorney General, Luther
Wilcox would make an excellent
Marshal and Fred. Peterson is ac-
ceptable as a District Magistrate
This program Of The INDEPENDENT
has been spoiled by the honorable
attitude Of the President and new
deal must be made.

Regarding the pamphlet issued
by the Department of Foreign Re.
lations to encourage the immigra-
tion Of whites from the United
States, the information given in re-
lation to coffee has invited harsh
criticism from even the warmest
supporters of the Government. The
statements are false and therefore
misleading and must result in doing
more harm than good. Mr.. Peter
Lee says after actual experience
that to go into coffee the intending
settler should have at least $4,000
capital, better $4,000. Another
coffee planter who went in planting
early says, as the result of his ex-
perience, II have put $4,000 into
my coffee venture and any person
may have my interest for $4,000 and
1 will agree not to put another cent
into coffee ventures. Mr.. -Luniug's
letter was more truthful than the

The Star man is not success as a
prophet. Last night he informed
his readers that in case of Europe
an war the Kiel canal will prove a
very prominent factor in it. The
fact is that the Kiel canal has not
proven a success, and that il the
German war vessels enter it the
chances are that they would stay
there. The following item from a
late French paper is only another
confirmation of the well-known con-
dition OF the canal:
The captain of the French steamer
Vers allies is willing to show his log
book to anyone desiring to see it TO
vouch for the following facts: That
vessel was chartered to take tourists
to St. Petersburg for the fetes in
honour of M. Felix Faure. 1t went
by the Sound and returned by the
Kiel Canal, in which she ran aground
81 times, though piloted by the
most experienced man that could be
fouud. The return voyage lasted 6
hours more than the voyage out.
The captain of the Versailles says
that the canal is only good for yes
sells Of light draft and short beam.
It's abrupt curves makes it imprac-
ticable for long vessels. The marshy
ground through which it winds is
constantly encroaching.

We have received letter in which
a resident of Koolau states, that the
boys frequenting the Government
school at Hauula on this island are
compelled by the teacher to carry
a feet stick OF wood to the school
every day, and that a refusal to
comply with this order is punished
by whipping or by demand for
an additional 10 pieces Of wood. If
true, it is certainly a novel way for
a school teachers to obtain cheap
freweod, and our correspondent
says that he has questioned several
boys attending the school, who all
have affirmed the story, The Com
missioners OF Education should in
vsstigate the matter and find out
the facts. 1t is these small things,
which irritate the people against
the Government and tbs public
institutions.

Ladies' Aid Society.

Col. W. p Feder Commander Kansas Divis-
ion, Great Bend, in recent Division Orders says:
1.-The Ladies' Aid Society, our indispensable
auxiliary, is ever progressive, and should have
our hearticst support. Camps which are not
blessed with an Aid Society should take steps
to establish one at once. Reports show that
Camps which have good society are in much
better circumstances than those without. In
these cases an interest is created that does not
and cannot exist without the sisterly co opera
ton of the Societies with Camps and by work
ing together-for our aims and objects the
same-much good will be accomplished that
otherwise could not and as q result prosperity
comes to both organizations.
