The loss of the S. S. Likelike takes
away one of the historical landmarks
of Hawaii. She was the pioneer vessel
of the steamship fleet that we now
have running around the islands. Her
predecessor, the old Kilauea, made her
last voyage some time before the Like
like was built. The building of the
latter was the first effort made to-
wards putting on modern type of
boat. Since she came down, vessels
of greater size and better accommodate
ton for passengers have been put on
the various routes, but none have been
stauncher sea boats than the old Like
like. 1t seems like losing an old friend
to think that her name will no longer
figure among the arrivals and de-
partures.

great opening for Americans, but 10
give them the proper opportunity 1T
must set its face against further Asia
tic immigration. But Mr.. Fitzgerald
is even more sanguine. He contends
that once the stream of immigration
sets in from the Eastern shores of the
Pacific, the tide from the Western
shores will dry up of itself. There
will no longer be any effort to push
this way from Japan.
But talk is easy. We are at condi-
ton of affairs when it is not talk and
discussion that are needed, but action.
And that action must be rapid and
decisive. The matter is in the hands
of those most interested financially
and there should be no hesitation.
Those who look forward to these is
lands as their home for life and hope
that they will be the home of their
children after them will give every
support to movement which tends to
give solidity and hope for the future.
1t is well to get shaken up once in a
while, and Mr.. Fitzgerald has given a
distinct shake, which will be felt from
Haena to Ka Lac.

Some people have the idea that the
tendency, in the United States, of pop
ulation towards cities is greater than
in Europe. This is erroneous. With
the exception of Chicago, the cities
have not grown as rapidly as the cities
of Europe, while the total population
has grown much faster. In 1870 New
York was greater than Berlin by 1907
600 people, in 1880 Berlin was ahead
and still remains so. Boston and Ham
burg were nearly equal in 1875, but
in 1890 Hamburg had 569,260 against
Boston's 44S,000. Leeds has over FO0,-
600 inhabitants and has, during the
last twenty-five years, increased fan
more rapidly than either st. Louis OF
Baltimore. This is view of the eco
nomic tendencies of older civilizations
which is quite new. 1t goes to prove
the immense agricultural and pastora
resources of the United States as com
pared with its present population.

Switzerland is the only country
where the expenditure for military
and for education are about equal
with a slight, very slight advantage
towards education. Russia's expendi-
ture of .03 per head for educating is
extremely munificent. Looking at the
Western Hemisphere, however, the re-
verse of the medal will be found. In
the United States the cost of the mil
itary per head of population is 80
cents. while the sum for education is
S1.35. For the year 1896 in Hawaii the
expenditure for military, per capita,
was so cents. while upon education the
sum expended amounted to exactly
So .OS per head. Hawaii stands well in
this particular, if she dooes not show
up brilliantly in another.

SOLDIERS VS.. SCHOOLS.

The amount, per capita, of popula-
ton, which is spent by European ma
tions, upon their military as compared
with their educational systems, shows
a deplorable condition of affairs when
considered from the point of view of
advancing civilization. 1t must be pre-
missed, however, that the educational
expenditure only takes cognizance of
what is supplied by Government funds,
and has nothing to do with wealthy
foundations or schools and colleges
supported by requests and funds from
religious bodies. When one reads the
table through one is reminded of Fal-
STATS prodigious quantity OF sack and
only pennyworth of bread. The table

EXPECT IMPROVEMENTS.
Preoita Valley IN Hopes OF Getting It's
Share of the appropriation.

Precita Valley IN Hopes OF Getting Its
Share of the appropriation.
Without troubling Itself about the out
come of The Supervisorial issue, the Precita
Valley Improvement Club hopes to re-
ceive its share OF the taxes in bettering
the condition of that section of the city,
which the people there claim is in great
need of several Improvements. The inn
provement club in that locality sets forth
that for a number of years Precita Valley
has been very much neglected on the line
OF Improvements.
The streets and sewers have been per-
mitted 10 go along from year toyear with.
out any attention whatever until at last
the residents we're compelled to take
action and draw the attention of the city
fathers to the wants OF the place. Since
that time some Improvements have been
done in the place, bat not enough. how
ever, 10 meet the requirements OF the
inhabitants. Petition after petition has
been forwarded asking for a school build
ing for the children, who are compelled
to remain on the hilisides playing when
by right they should be attending TO their
studies. Another want of the locality is a
fire engine building, IN which there
should be housed the proper apparatus to
protect the property OF those who have
settled there and built their homes on
their land in the hopes that they would at
least be protected against the dangers of
having their houses burned down, when
they say they pay their pro rata OF the
taxes for the same.
Another grievance, if it may be so
ciassed, which they proclaim against is
the condition of a small patch of land
known as Bernal Park, which lies in the
fork of Precita avenue, and which the
residents want filled in and beautitied into
a recreation plat for the children and
their mothers to visit in the summer sea-
son. The club at its meeting last night
mentioned ali OF these things as being
necessities. and hoped that whichever
Board OF Supervisors may be in office
portion of the public money will be spent
in the direction mentioned.

No One Has Yet Claimed the Body of
Aimee de Lisaale.
The motives which impelled Aimee de
Lisaale to take her life yesterday are still
unknown, so carefully had she covered
up her identity, and destroyed every
scrap of information which might tell
who and where her friends are, but it is
generally conceded that her mind became
slightly unbalanced through sickness and
this led her to take her liie
At the home of Mrs. Esberg, where she
has been employed for the last two years,
nothing is known of her save that she
always went about her work in a quiet,
ladylike way, never finding fault anu
never giving occasion TO be found faul;
with. About three weeks ago she COM
nlained of being in poor health and re-
quested vacation, which was willingly
granted her. After week absence she
returned and tod Mrs. Esberg that she
was still sick and was going 10 a hos pital
for treatment, after which she would go
back to France and live with her aunt
This was the last heard of her there un-
til the startling news of the suicide was
divulged. Who the friends in France
are, or if the unfortunate girl had any
friends in the vicinity, nobody seems to
know.
At Mrs. Hughes, where the fatal deed
was committed, very little or nothing was
known OF the girl, but her actions from
the time she arrived were a little mys-
terious and give the impression that her
mind was slightly unbalanced.
The body still lies unclaimed at the
Morgue and will probably be buried in
the potter's field.

WHIPPED WITH A RAWHI1E.
Stockton Nan Given an UnmercHul
Beating BY an Enraged
Husband.

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 24-Fornia s.
Curtis, who lives with his wife and family
at 1923 North Center street, was cowhided
on Wednesday afternoon near the inter
section OF that thoroughfare and Acacia
street.
According to the statement of an eye
witness, Curtis was walking along Center
street and was almost at Acacia, when a
comely little woman, who was about 100
feet back of him, called to a wiry-looking
young fellow who was driving watering
wagon.
The driver of the sprinkler reined his
horses toward the sidewalk and sprang
down from his seat. He ran toward Cur
It's and with the butt end OF his black
snake struck him a stunning blow just be-
low the left eye. The angry little man
then rained blows thick and fast on the
pedestrian, who was too astonished as
well as stunned to offer any resistance.
Discarding his whip, the driver then
landed his fist on Curtis chin and hit him
a lew more blows at random. The horses
OF the sprinkling wagon took fright and
started TO run away.
The driver then desisted from the chas-
tisement of his victim and, catching the
horses, drove OF.
The blow from the butt of the whip
which Curtis received over the eye nearly
cost him the sight of that optic.
The jo't on the chin played havoc with
his teeth. He wore a plate of false
molars, which were fastened to a remain
ing natural tooth. That lone tooth was
displaced, and the plate of false grinders
were Knocked out of his mouth and INTO
the street.
The horsewhipping and thrashing were
administered by Edward Murphy. the
driver of a sprin kling-cart, who claims
that Curtis attentions TO Mrs. Murphy
were too marked.

ITHACA, n. Y, Sept. 24-In the course
of his annual address to the students of
Cornell University Thursday President J.
G. Shurman made some references which
have been accepted here as applying TO
the recent troubles of President E. Ben
jamin Andrews and the corporation of
Brown University.
Cornell" observed Mr.. Shurman,
recognizes that the majority may be
wrong and that the minority may be
right. Therefore, absolute freedom is the
soul OF that institution. Brics called our
majority rule system fatalism of the
multitude. We believe here that one
man with Gods truth is majority and
that q teacher is expected to do what
Socrates did, although be outraged Athen-
ians and suffered martyrdom for 1t, 10
communicate TO others his own belief and
convictions or else to answer to a charge
of sacrilege. | believe the institution
should cease to exist thousand times
sooner than a single professor should be
coerced.
Teachers should be free to investigate
and to announce and proclaim what they
have discovered" he SAID. They must
Ue free to present both sides of question.
The teacher is not the representative OF q
CORPORATION or the people, but a represen-
tative of the God of truth.
"Whiie money is a necessity to any uni
versity, it is not so paramount as the free
dom of teaching staff. Better that the
university be wiped out of existence than
that truth be suppressed. The end of an
university is propagation of truth. Any
pretensions of corporation to set limits
on a teaching staff must be resisted as
absolutely unwarranted."
