which is possibly the truth. They
want the newspapers TO tell men
little white lies and pat every
body on the back. They don't
want the exact truth. They seem
to think a newspaperman is
bound To perdition anyway and
are quite satisfied that he should
be classed as an old sheep instead
of lamb. When we consider the
responsibility for crime, perhaps
after all it is better for one man
10 write Il series of putfs, than for
each individual artist the world
over 10 write his or her newspa-
per notice.
We quite agree that the critic
of Hilo should be run out of town.
What has he done? What hasn't
he done? He has broken down
the custom of picayune town
journalism established since the
days of George Washington. He
has put words in the paper that
express his own ideas. He has
disappointed any number of PEG
pie who We're anticipating some
thing real nice to PUT in a scrap
book and hand down to posterity
or send to admiring friends. He
has dared to criticize. This is ter
rible indeed. The renegade usur-
per who dares TO break through
the ancient and horrible custom
of saving anything inappropriate
TO mutual admiration in his pa
per ought to be ridden on a rail.
Think of what an influence such
a man may have in country
where the motto is Don't say
about it; keep it quiet.

The selection of Minister
Damon to represent Hawaii at
the Diamond Jubilee Nof Queen
Victoria is in keeping with good
Judgment from every point of
view. Most certainly Hawaii
should be in line with the other
nations of the world i'm paying it's
tribute of respect and we know
of no official better able to fulfill
the requirements of such mis-
sion than the Minister of
Fiance. Although Hawaii seeks
to merge its national independ
ence with that of the United
States. our people are in duty
bound to uphold the national dig
nifty until the United States sees
fit to take us into the fold. Ha-
waii has always received most
friendly treatment at the hands
OF Great Britain's Queen and
numbers many able British sub
Jects among its citizens. On the
10Th of June politics and national
differences will be east aside, for
the time being, while the world
does homage to the woman whose
remarkable career is regarded
with well merited pride by all
her subjects. There are multfar-
ious reasons why Hawaii should
be represented at this interna-
tional lovefeast; there is no good
reason why it should not.

Entranced, yon heavenly throng,
Earth's song birds poised in gladnes:
When Julius sang his song.
He is no slave-tO bar or stave,
No written key he uses,
But all alone, with tune his own,
He sings. Heaven help the muses1
Sing on, thou bird of pIumage rare.
