1t is rather an unfortunate state or az
,airs that it seems almost finally settled
hat there will be DO Potomac River re-
rata this season. So Ter the Columbia
Athletic Club is the only one that has sig
nified an intention of supporting the an
nual local fixture The Analostans have
decided to send -four to the national, at
Philadelphia, Instead of spending the money
for share in the local regatta.
The Potomacs early in the season de-
cided that it would be impossible this year
to take part in the holding OF the local re-
gatta.
BY MANY this state of affairs is regarded
as Iaost unfortunate, as it virtually Kills
local interest in the sport, which TO a large
extent is kept alive by the annual event,
and with @ years break In the holding OF
affairs that have been looked upon with
much favor by other rowing centers, it
means that next season the work OF build
ing up an interest must begin all over
1t is not too late yet for the local en-
thusiasts to get together and arrange Tor
some sort of an affair, If for no other pur-
pose than to arrange regatta with faces
only for the cup events. These must be
won or lost certain number of times, ana
it seems to many that the pre- sent holders
should have an opportunity to defend them.
The prime object, however, OF urging
the holding OF the affair is to keep up The
interest here, where may he had, either
upper or lower, one OF the finest courses
In the country. This is the one instance
where the holding of the national regatta
so near here win injure the interests OF
rowing in one of the centers, which has
always been the pride of the parent body,
the N. A. A. o.
One of the best rules the L. A. w. has
is suspens sion for q certain period of en-
trants who do not start in the events they
have selected. Their only escape from the
penalty is the filing of an excuse with the
referee at the meet, and his acceptance of
the same as sufficient for non-performance.
Such rule the A. A. U. woulddo well, very
well indeed, to adopt at the eaTlist possible
date for track events especially. The rule
was most forcibly impressed upon those In
terested at last Saturdays C. A. c. meet.
There every man entered in the bicycle
races unless he was excused, was on his
mark and answered the roll call. On the
contrary fI the foot races no single event
had out more than a third of those entered
OF course, those that toed the mark Were
the best in each event, but if all had run
In their respective heats, the spectators
would have had just that much more sport
Many young athletes enter events with no
other idea than to see their names in print.
They never show what they can do. The
adoption by the A. A. U. of the L. A. W.
rule would do away with this sort of
thing.

means OF education and the arts Of
civilized life"
The process Of civilization had
begun only thirty-three years be-
fore. Yet in 1912 illteracy among
the natives was less than 10 the State
Of Alabama to-day, for in the CORE
spondence with Mr.. Webster it is
admitted that hardly a native could
be found who was unable to read
and write.
The latest report is that no dis
trict, however remote, is without
school, and the only people who
cannot read and write are foreign
ers. The country churches are al
most entirely ministered to by ma
tive Hawaiian pastors, and all these
institutions, civil, religious, educa-
tional, were founded and fostered
by the natives under the form Of
government which had their con-
sent prior to it's overthrow by the
warlike presence OF the United
States, at the hands OF few hun
dred Americans who now occupy
technically the position of agents of
the United States in the conquest
OF government against which we
had not declared war and with
which we were at peace.
1t must be- seen then that hietori-
cally and morally there is a judic-
able difference between the natives
Of Hawaii, meaning thereby the ma
tive race, and the barbarous tribes
OF Alaska.
The Hawaiians are the only print
tive people in this age who have
emerged by their own will from bar
barism, have taken on Christian
civilization and established and
abide in the institutions which are
it's fruit.
OF these natives and their con-
geners there are in the islands
39,504 souls; of Americans there are
1886. The natives are 36 percent Of
the population, the Americans are
percent. The natives are the
large element in population COM
posed Of themselves and American,
British, German, French, Norwe-
gian, Portuguese, japanese, Chinese
and South Sea Island immigrants.
1t was their country in barbarism,
and its redemption was by their
will and not by that of others. Tn.
der the institutions and government
which they voluntarily founded
Americans found the rights of per-
son and property so well protected
as to make life in the islands
pleasant and profitable, and now for
the first time in the worlds history
it is proposed to annex such coun-
try without consulting its natives.
Conquest, right of discovery,
dynastic ambitions, balance of power
have all been pleaded by the
nations, from Babylon to Britain, as
an excuse for extension of territory,
and each has it's apology embalmed
in history. But up to date we are
the first nation which began by
justifying its own existence in the
declaration that governments derive
their just powers from the consent
of the governed, and ends by ex-
tending government to people
whose consent we refuse to ask and
whose wishes we decline to consult.
The historical apologist for this po-
Icy will excite the envy of the
casuists who have found reasons for
government in disregard of the con-
sent of the governed by resorting to
the divine right of Kings. F.

Sade in Johnston.
Democrats Hold a Caucus and Nominate
Town Officers.

Those who are making war on the per-
nicious cigarette have carried their cru
sade into these parts, and aided by the
teachers, they have met with gratifying
success among the public school children
OF the Tenth ward. Among these little
people the Anti-Cigarette League has
secured a strong foothold and, figuratively
speaking, its banner floats over every
school building.
The League is, of course, recruited from
among the boys, who are presented with
% suitable badge, which they proudly dis
play on their breasts, but the little girls
are not inactive in the good work. They
donate money for the purchase OF the
badges and in other ways manifest their
sympatby in the movement Each MEM
ber of the League pledges himself to abb
stain from the use of tobacco.

More Than Six Hundred Players at
Crescent Park.
II Was The Annual Outing of the Kismet
Whist Club and Its Fri ms.

10 is doubtful IL any prettier party ever vs-
tied Crescent Park, or, in fact, any other
shore resort, than the one who were the
guests of Manager Boyden at Crescent Park
yesterday. Six hundred and forty ladies con-
stituted the party, given under the auspices
of the Kismet Whist Club of this city. IL was
the second annual reunion of the club and its
friends, and was nearly three times AS large
as the one given last year. The seasons
playing having ended. the club closes the sea.
son by a grand social event such as was held
yesterday. Invitations are extended to q
number of lady whist clubs and other friends.
and the acceptance of so many invitations
attested the popularity of the occasion. The
affair was under the direction OF Mrs. Ed
ward G. Hawes, and the very successful man-s
ner in which every detail was carrid out
was good proof of her executive ability.
Among the clubs which were represented by
large delegations were the Forest Whist
Club The East and West Side Club, the East
Side Club, the Club of Trumps, the II. ". q.
Club the @. Club and the Providence
Athletic Ladies' Club. Also among the spec
ial guests were Mrs. W. Ii. Bosworth of Bos-
ton, Mass; Mrs. A. l.. Sumner Of Worcester,
Mass. Mrs. Glidden of Salem. Mass, and
Mrs. Charles Wise of Maplewood, Mass. Din
ner was served in two large dining halls at
:. o'clock. and during the meal Reeves orches-
ira gave an excellent concert; also during the
assembly of the people at dinner Mr.. H. l.
Dillenback, in happy speech, in behalf OF
Mr. Boyden, presented tho freedom of the
place TO the ladies. He said that any thing
within the confines of Crescent Park belonged
10 them for the day. Immediately after din
ner tho ladies took possession of the dance
hall, and to the music of the orchestra from
the dining hall many couples made merry
during the afternoon, and the twenty five
tables in the cafe adjoining the dance hall
were soon filed with whist parties who en-
joycd the game to its fullest extent. The
other amusements which were open were lib
orally patronizcd during afternoon. The
ladies gathered in group and had their pic
lures taken, and at 5 o'clock the party depart
ed for the city via the electric cars, as they
had been before conveyed TO the park. Tho
present .ofcers of the Kismet Club are Mrs.
George A. Kilton, president, and Mrs. Henry
A. Davis, secretary and treasurer.

Excitement Caused by Another Case
of Diphtheria,
Run Over BY His Own Tsam-Mr. Ham
mond's S,ill Hunt.

There Is quite an excitement in River
Point today caused by the second death
from iiphtheria within two days in the
family of Peter McQunlan who lives in a
four tenement house on what is known
as Dog Hill" on River aven ue at River
Point Some days ago Peter one of the
children, was taken i'll and Dr. Eugene
i. shea was called who Immediately
diagnosed the case as one of diphthBria
and warned the parents to keep the child
isolated ana pay strict attention 10 his
directions If they wished to save the hoy S
life, and not have the disease spread TO the
other children The boy however, died
Tuesday night and at the time another of
the children, a girl about three and half
years old. was taken i'll. DIR. Shea saw at
once. that this child also had diphtheria
and plainly stated TO the family that hc
would not take charge Uf the case unless
his directions were follwed out ond not
sighted rs in the case of the boy and
advised the family 10 see DIR. \. q.
Sprague, the health officer of the town,
60 whom he had reported tho case OF the
first child. DR.. Sprague confirmed the
diagnosis of DIR. shea and after the fun
eral of the boy he ordered the house fumi-
gated and saw that his orders were carried
out. The little girl died about | o'clock
last night and was buried at 10 o'clock
Inls lDOrnlnV III lne lhtDOIlC cemetery at
Phenix. There are a number OF other
children living In tho house and it Is
feared that somo Of them may have con-
tractcd tho disease, but as yet no new cases
have been reported DR. Sprague has
taken every precaution possible To prevent
the spread Of the disease but there is no
town ordinance which permits him to
place the house and IA tenants under
quarantine The residents OF the River
Point school district who have children
attending the public school are much ex-
crcised about the two deaths and IL is
probable that the average daily attendance
at the school will be affected for few
DAYS by the diphtheria scare.
