For the first time in the history of
the Islands the public schools open to-
day as all free schools. In the High
school the undemocratic fee system has
been abolished, and its doors opened to-
day for the first time, to pupils on the
sole basis of scholarship and moral
character. This day is worthy to be put
on the school calendar as an anniver-
sary to be observed and celebrated. 1t
marks the complete Americanization Of
the Hawaiian public school system.
Elementary schools have been free for
many years. Now that the entire pub
lie school system is free we wonder that
it took so long to accomplish it, But
inquiries into the subject have now on
ly a curious interest. The schools are
free and they will always remain so TO
the increasing benefit of humanity and
progress as the years go on.

THE ROWING RACES.

The annual championship races have
been rowed and won. The keen zest of
interest and rivalry in a manly contest
has had it's display of exuberance. Ev-
erybody who would allow himself to,
has had his youth renewed in a degree
at least by yielding to the spirit of
sport expanding his sympathies by be-
coming a partisan, and joining in the
eXultation of victory or supporting hon
orable defeat with equinamity and good
nature. Athletic contests when carried
on in the true spirit of sport are one OF
the greatest agencies in keeping fresh
the blood of people and maintaining
and developing it's physical wholesome
ness And the interest which they de-
velop in the great body of a people have
a corresponding wholesome influence on
the public mind. That the ancient
Greeks dominated in the realms of in
tellect and art was due in no small de-
gree to the Olympian games. And that
the Anglo-SaXon race is a dominating
factor in the modern life is due in no
small measure to the large part ath-
letics-true sport-have in their physi-
cal and mental life
The championship races are over. The
factors that determined the result can
now be studied for what they are worth
as guides for individuals and crews in
future contests Whatever the relative
merits of the short and the long storke
may be or the system of training adopt
ed by the several crews, opinions may
still differ. On one thing however, all
Will agree, that the facilities for ade-
quate training are not what they should
be, nor what they can easily be made
There ought to be at Pearl Harbor fac
llities that can be turned on occasion
into adequate training quarters. Mr..
Harris of the Myrtle club some time ago
proposed the erection at a suitable point
near the harbor Of a building with sheds
for boats, which could be a club house
throughout the year and training quar-
tersfor the necessary period before the
races. The idea was so clearly practI-
cable and advisable that it established
itself at once. The only question is as
to how to go about it to secure it. Now
is the time to devise ways and means.
Let all Interested in the annual rowing
races get together and devise ways and
means. By beginning now there is no
doubt that suitable training quarters
can be provided by the time they are
needed next year. Let there be immedi-
ate and united effort.

The establishment of a bank in Hilo
is another evidence of the development
of commerce and industry in the ISL
ands consequent upon annexation, and
the confidence annexation has given to
enterprise. 1t is also an evidence of the
change in commercial conditions which
the Islands are undergoing. Industry
and commerce are becoming localized.
Smaller Industries are being looked in
to and developed. with local banks in
touch with local possibilities a greater
variety of natural resources can be de-
veloped and made to yield their quota
to the wealth and comfort production
of the Islands.

Major Jones declaration that $4,000
soldiers will be needed for ten years to
police the Philippines is rather startl-
ing to ears soothed with phrases of
benevolent assimilation" or minds
carried away with imperialistic notions.
But Major Jones' views are entitled to
grave consideration because he has had
the best possible opportunities for OBJ
servation and forming judgment, and
he seems to talk like blunt soldier to
whom a fact is a fact Still if Major
Jones is right'it is only further justifi-
cation of the Presidents policy of keep
ing faith with the nations and giving
stable government, order and law to
the Philippines.

WITH THE PLAYERS

Hans the Boatman' was presented
by the Maggie Moore-H. r. Roberts
Company at the opera house Saturday
night to a delighted audience. This was
the third presentation of this play by
this company, and it was more capti-
waiting than ever. The story of the play
is a gentle delightful one and requires
delicate handling. Mr.. Roberts in the
title role displayed exquisite art. Mag
gle Moore as "Jef1ie" was pleasing and
showed the qualities that have given
her her reputation. Baby Bashford was
pretty, artless and attractive.
Tonight the company present David
Garrick," one of the greatest plays in
its repertory and one in which II. r.
Roberts displays some of his greatest
powers as an actor.

now, and always will be, devoted to her own
land and its liberties!"
As she uttered these words she was SUBJ
lime. Her figure swayed slightly, her eyes
sparkled, and her voice rang like bell.
There was no effect of bravado, but it was
apparent that with her there had come
crisis, and she had thrown off her mask,
either because it was no longer of use or
for the purpose of sacrificing herself for her
brother. Her great beauty, her youth, her
fearlessness-ay, even the grace of her pose,
set off by her faultless costume-gave weight
to the words which on her listeners pro-
duced profound though widely differing
emotions.
My own first feeling was that of utter in
significance as marked her great courage
and heard the inspiring eloquence of her last
sentence; my next that, if necessary, /
would risk my life to assist her if my way
to do SO was made plain. My admiration,
my respect was beyond measure was al
most moved to defy Clinton to his face there
and then when that party exposed the spirit
in which he had listened.
He had halted and whirled about as she
threw at him the falsity of his statement,
and as she progressed, his face turned from
white to red and from red to purple. On
her finishing, he hung a moment as though
to gather the full import of her words, and
! then banged his fist on the table as he ex-
claimed:
'fYou doubly damned rebel wench! You
spy! How dare you use such language here
and to me! So you have aken'adyantage of
your housing with My God! what fool

opportunity to confscate my property as
you have my brothers. Doubtless this sum
will also go to enrich your paramour. You
have taken me for child, but / am not the
helpless girl you think me. I know your
motives. They are money, and fear, and
I; Mrs. Badely. And now I have but one de.
mand, Gen. Sir Henry Clinton, and one
! more statement. Your personal secrets are
safe with me conditionally, and my proper.
ty you are welcome to, as you will but hold
it until the right prevails; but this will
have nova pass beyond your lines at
Kingsbridge. The statement will simply
show the extent of your falsity and the ease
with which it is overcome. My brother"
At that moment the hall door for second
time was thrown open violently by female,
anu AoW ~ was Nlrs. Daueiy WHO TeenUereu.
There was no affectation about her as she
hurried in and closed it behind her. With
her hand on the knob, her face blanched to
an ash color, and her whole figure trem-
bling, she pointed to the defiant girl and
burst out:
"She is traitor! she is traitor! Let her
! not go hence! o Sir Henry! Sir Henry! he
has escaped! He has been back and-takAn
-all-those-"
She got no further, but, tottering slightly,
gradually sank to the floor in real or pre-.

| was aware that the wilderness of
blackened walls, charred timber, which
seemed such haven at present, would be
about the first region over which an or
ganized search would be prosecuted. The
very unlikelihood of my returning to the
tavern had made it possible for me to enter,
regain my arms and leave unmolested, while
the darkest holes of the city would be thor
oughly secured, and that at once. To bur-
row into crevice in this field of desolation
might be possible, but it would end in
starvation and final discovery. To disguise
myself was not possible, nor, had / the
means, would it have availed me much, as
my unusual size would have made disguise
of little more than temporary benefit. My
line of flight, which might easily be traced
along the sands of the strip of beach, point.
ed plainly toward the region which / was
now traversing, and to remain in its vicin-
ity was tantamount to placing myself with.
in easy reach of my pursuers. I had but one
expedient, and that to elude capture until
nightfall by placing myself where there was
the least liability of search, and, under
cover of darkness, boldly attempting to force
the lines at spot remote from the regular
roads of travel.

Strength OF Gibraltar.

washington Star: There is no doubt
that Glgraitar is from the nature of It's
location; the strongest spot on earth"
said a recently returned English tourist
to a reporter. but the English officers
who are on duty there seem to be i'm
pressed with the idea that there is
some weak spot about the place. and
that some American may discover it.
They have some nonsensical rules and
regulations governing the fertilization,
and one of them is that no American
can be admitted to the fortified places
though they are allowed to wander
all around the outside is long as they
care to.
"I don't think the combined guns Of
the rest of the world, all working to-
gether, and for twelve hours each day.
Sundays and public holidays included,
for one year, could seriously interfere
with Gibraltar beyond cutting on the
mail communication. The walls are
solid rock a quarter of a mile thick,and
such thing as doing any damage in
military sense would be simply nom
sense. Gibraltar could resist any at
tack, and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces-
sarily have to be exposed in making its
attack. This exposure would have to
be within range of the guns of the fort,
even II they are fifty years out of date.
Consequently they would be nearly as
effective as modern guns, for with all
that is claimed for modern warfare
there probably never will be any fight
ing done when the opposing parties are
out Of sight of each other. While all
this is admitted by military men Of ell
countries, IT seems funny that there
should be anything Of a secret or hid
den character about Gibraltar that
Americans should not be allowed to In
spect as freely as the people of other
countries are. England may be whip
ped some time in the history of the
world. but the defeat will not take place
