MISS STURGEON
DIED AT HOME.
Sad News of a Young Lady Resi-
dent of Honolulu.

(New WhatcOm, Wash, Friday, July
22)
The unexpected death Of Miss Annie
Sturgeon at Seattle yesterday morning
was a great shock to the entire COM
munity in which she was so we'll and
favorably known. She was the eldest
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Sturgeon
of this city, and had been IN Honolulu
for the last three years engaged as
the StanOgrapher for the banking firm
of Bishop & Co., of that city. For some
time before going to the Hawaiian Is
lands she was in the dry goods house
of Stockton Bros. here.
Some months ago she was told by
physicians that she was afflicted with
a growing tumOr and that unless this
was removed she could not expect to
live long. Mr.. S. NJ. Damon, the man
ager of the bank, who is also the imam
cIer for the Hawaiian Government, ad-
vised her to come home and have an
operation performed and to that end
gave her a leave of absence for three
months, continuing her salary while
absent. thus showing the high esteem
in which she was held by her employ
er. She arrived home about two
months ago and to a casual observer
appeared TO be in perfect health and
enjoyment of life, but she was not.
Last week she went with her mother
TO Seattle to undergo the operation,
and on last Saturday it was apparently
successfully performed and she seemed
to withstand the shock until the last
few days, when reaction took place.
and she passed away yesterday morn
ing.
Miss Sturgeon was most excellent
young woman of a happy and consider
ate disposition, loved by all who knew
her Ii is sad blow to her parents
and sister, Mrs. DObbs. who knew so
much of her nobility OF Character and
WomanIy virtues. 1Ir Sturgeon went
to Seattle Yesterday TO bring the body
home for burial and VIII arrive on the
train today. The funeral Eervice Will
take place ct > o'clock o. m. this day,
at the residence OF her parents. at the
corner of Kentucky and North Elk
streets.
Miss Sturgeon was quite well known

The Open Door.

Our constitution does not require
the nation to make its own domes-
tic laws conform with the rules it
may establish over its outlying
properties-that is, the tail to wag
the dog. Neither does analogy re-
quire it. Great Britain is the ideal
free trade country Of the world. But
British colonies are largely protec-
tionists. And that is true not only
of the. sclf-government colonies.
such as Canada and Australia, but
of the crown colonies as well.
which are governed directly by the
imperial government. The same
identical government at Westmlnis-
ter that maintains free trade in
the United Kingdom maintains an
elaborate system of tariffs in its
possessions in America. Asia and
Africa. Look at the tariff sched-
ules of Jamaica and Trinidad, and
Honduras, of India, and Ccylon and
Mauritus, of Sierra Leone and the
Gold Coast. If free-tradc Great
Britain can maintain such systems
there, surely the protectionist Unit
ed States can without self stutilica-
ton, make the Philippine tariff sys-
tenn little different from its own.
The ''open door" does not, howcv-
er, mean free trade in the Golden
itc sense. 1t means equality in
trade, which is very different
thing. The tariff may be high or
low, the list of dutiabIc goods large
or small. The ''open door" has
nothing to do with such matters. 1t
merely insures that the tariff rates
shall be the same upon goods and
to traders of all nations; in other
words, that traders in the Philip
pines shall be treated as they are
in the British colonies we have
mentioned. Nothing more than that
can reasonably be asked. Our
British kinsmen can not expect us
to open the door more widely than
they themselves have done, and all
others will surely be satisfied if we
open somewhat more widely than
they have done. And that is all
there is in the question of the
''opcn door. New York Tri-
bunc.

Of an era of good roads in Missou-
ri. One thing the legislature can
do is to prepare the way to secure
a carrying vote for the constitu-
tional amendment by wiping out
the present obnoxious system of
road laws. As long as the present
system prevails the people of the
state will never vote for the adop-
ton of constitutional amendment
which carries with it the PROPOSE
ton to increase taxation for road
purposes. They see the taxes they
now pay going out of their pockets
without vicwin" any resultant ben
fit in the way of better roads, and
they will not vote upon themselves
increased taxes until it is seen that
the raoney will be spent to.a better
advantage than III present.

The good roads conventions
held throughout the state at var
ious times during the past twelve
months have led the people Of Mis-
souri, up to a great state OF cNrec-
fancy that the Forthcoming session
of the legislature will enact new
set of road laws which will give us
improved highways i'll a very short
time. There is no doubt but what
the legislature will tackle the road
laws. \ certain spirit of road i'm
provement has been worked up
among the people by the agitation
Of tho question which will reflect
itself in our body Of lawmakers,
but whatever proportions :this SEN
timcnt in favor of better roads may
have assumed, it is still crude and
underlined. Still it is to be hoped
that something good Will 1esu't
tberefrom. The greatest obstacle
in the way of securing better roads
is that the Taxpayers are averse
to paying the first cost of the i'm
provement; another is, that with
out a change in the state eonstltu-
tion no additional taxes can be levi
ell for road purposes. The object
of the coming session of the legls!a-
ture will doubtless be to revert
the matter back to the people al
the next general election and lei
them vote on an amendment Of tn,
constitution. So there is little
prospect in the immediate future

The Giliett Case.

The fact is that business must be
done on confidence or not at all.
Without faith in man no great
business can be developed. One
has to trust his fellows every hour
of his life. You take a chance on
getting counterfeit money every
time you accept a bill or Il piece of
coin. And the beauty Of life is
that you are not fooled and sold
and swindlcd as often, in the
course of year, as you might ex-
pcct. Most men are honest. This
is as true as that most women are
virtuous. The case Of Gillett only
proves that the fellow with a lot of
assurance has Il great advantage,
oftentimes, over the man who has
something very much better. 1t
is to the credit of human nature
that Gilletts are so infrequent,
comparatively, that their appear
ance creates sensations such as the
one which has for its center the
great ranch at Abilene. Kan. The
Ives, Wards, Harpers, McGeoghs,
Jay Cookies, Letters and othe,
gamblers are of the same stripe.
