TEN THOUSAND FLAGS.
They Wave a Welcome From Every
House and Street Corner.


When the soldiers and other visitors
walked up Kansas avenue from First
avenue today, the sight was one to in
sptre them. Up the long slope to Sixth
avenue the street seemed rooted with
color, while ten thousand flag waved
their welcome from window anu house
top AS they marched up the street the
decorations became more and more
elaborate and stretched out all the way
to Tenth avenue. On every hand was
welcome Home" Every telephone
pole was a welcome, every wire held it's
symbol of rejoicing. Topeka certainly
has on her holiday attire today. Flags

ers SWaying-eVeryWh is the red,
white and blue. It is a beautiful sight
To be sure the November breeze has
disarranged some of the decorations
which were first put up, but the general
effect is attractive.
The best location for viewing the
street decorations is at the intersection
of Fifth street and Kansas avenue
Here one looks away down the grade
to the north, and sees a thousand PEN
nants huttering in the breeze, while
along the sides of Kansas avenue is line
after line of bunting. Away to the
south as far as one can see is the same
effect.
Across Kansas avenue at every street
car pole is strung a rope filed with the
f1uttering remnants. Every telephone
pole on the sides the street is
wrapped with the national cOlOrS. EY-
cry street car pole is treated in the
same manner and on the summit of
each one is placed a stand of flags, with
the national shield facing north.
At the intersections of some of the
streets the streamers of bunting are
carried to an elevation in the center,
producing the four corners of a pyra-
mid.
Beginning at Sixth avenue and ex-
tending south to each street railway
pole, facing in either direction, is at
tached national shields across which is
inscribed the names of the principal
battles in which the Twentieth was en-
gagged. There is Manila, CaloOcan, Polo,
GuinguintO, ManiIao. MalOlos, Bagbag,
Apalit Calumpit. San Fernando and
others.
The buildings and business houses
along both sides of Kansas avenue for
the entire ten blocks are also prettily
decorated The Rock Island depot is

Thousands and thousands of yards of
material has been used in these decora-

has been untold, because much of it has
been the labor of love for the brave boys
in whose honor the flags are waving
today.

FOR OMAHA.

The appointment of committee by
the Chamber of Commerce to arrange
for the exhibit at the Omaha exhibition
will not doubt result in satisfactory
show being made by the territory
What is wanted is q thorough showing
of our products and a due advertising
of the opportunities that we offer to the
young and energetic. Under the aus
pieces of the Chamber of Commerce we
may look to something practical, and
not merely to a show of old tapas and
stone implements. These are highly
curious and the skill with which they
were made is much to be admired, but
they give no idea as to what Hawaii
is at present.
At the Omaha exhibition, If we only
are energetic in collecting and judici-
Gus in selecting our exhibits, we can do
much for the national advantage of the
territory, and can even have an influ-
ence upon our political future. A prop
erly arranged exhibit will attract much
attention and will create an interest in
us. We want to show how advanced
we ar we wait u SllON OuI pIO-
gressiveness and that we have the en-
ergy within us to push our own for
tunes and to enjoy the self-rule OF a
territorial form of government.
Another important point is to secure
the services of an efficient commission
err. We do not want any body with
merely a glib tongue and the unlimited
gall of a drummer. We want some one
well acquainted with the place, thor
oughly posted with accurate and not
hazy or inflated information, and one
who will command the respect and con-
fidence of even old statesmen and the
influential men who will eagerly en-
quire into the status, the prospects,
and the commercial and social condi-
lions of the new possession.
If we can make a good showing, and
create a good impression at the Omaha
exhibition, we will have a real good
piece of luck in having the chance of
advertising ourselves so well. But if
we make a mess of it and create a
wrong impression, we shall do harm to
the cause we have so much at heart.
1t therefore behooves the committee of
the Chamber of Commerce to take
special pains in the selection of a per-
son suitable for the position of COM
missioner and in the decision as to
what is most suitable for exhibition.

Honolulu is having quite a surfeit of
crimes and accidents just now. There
is the trial of the six alleged murderers
from Kahuku, that occupies much at
tention. Then there is the case where
a kahuna is held responsible for the
death of a native woman. On Tuesday
night two soldiers were set upon and
battered up considerably by a civilian,
and then there was the case of drown
ing from the Senator. 1t is quite a
goodly list. The curious part of it Is
that none of the crimes are due to
annexation or expansion as some would
have us believe. The festive civilian
resident seems to have more to do with
crime than the maligned soldiers. The
latter have kept free from any serious

Governor Pingree is an advanced
reformer Like all reformers he has a
host of enemies who villify him and
misrepresent his motives but he pegs
along fearlessly and manages to carry
majorities to help him in his schemes.
The latest work he has carried out is
giving Detroit a chance to own and
operate her street railways. By this
law, known as the Mcleod law, the
city council is authorized to appoint at
any time within the next twenty years
a Detroit street-railway commission to
negotiate with the companies, fix the
terms and conditions of transfer, and
operate the system when required. If
this is carried out, it will give a
lesson in municipal ownership that
will be universally watched with very
great interest The granting of fran
chises by city governments has been
