THa GLORY OF AMERICAN CTTI-
..- ZENSHIP. ..I.

Oaeof the things for Whica q thought
full man should and will be devoutly
thankful for ia that he is a citizen of
the United States Of America. Few of
us seem to realize the glory Of that
citizenship. Paul, the great apostle,
stated with pride that he was a
Roman by birthright. Roman citizsn
ship meant much, but it's glory as com
pared with American citizenship was
as the glory Of the moon compared with
the glory OF the monday sun. 1t
meant freedom from scourging, the
right Of appeal to- Cae Jar, the honor
and dignity Of being an integral part
Of an a2l-coDquering nation w~it5eyery
where enforced law, order and justice
American citizenship mean all that ia
desirable in this and vastly o II
means the right to vote in the selection
of nearly all che officers from coroner
to presidential e~leetor, and choice Of
these not as rulers, but as servants of
the people, executing temporarily their
will. It means the right Of trial not
by an appointed judge but by jury Of
his fellow citizens, the right Of free
thought and speech, the right Of petit
ton, and free discussion of all public
questions, the right Of absolute free
dom Of worship and uuquestioned
obedience to a higher law infinitely
above kings, courts and congresses.
We may we'll be thaktul that we
exercise this citiz anship in the closing
days of the nineteenth century. Our
fathers builded better than we knew.
They uttered great truths that the
world will not willingly let die, and
yet they but half lived up 90 their own
teachings. 1t is always thus; preach
ing is easy, practice moss difficult.
They proclaimed all men fee; they

I. 81 so. Macmillan Co., New York.
This work needs nc praise from US
With remarkable unanimity the ablest
critics of this country have pronounced
it a work of unusual power, brilliancy
and fascination. The Courier Journal,
Of Louisville, says:
IF his second volume 81 stains the
interest of thu 6rss ha will have &C
complished the feat of writing a book
Of 14OO pages without a dull or tedious
passage from preface to inal fylaRt,"
The Outlook describes it as: IAN
exceptionally entertaining narrative.
+ = = The author touches nothing
that has not a vital interest either as
illustrating the life OF the age he is de.
scribing, or as affecting the life of the
ages that follow. By means Of con
cret9 pictures rather than abstract gen
era IL atoms be depicts the history of
civil z stion. His own intense sympa
Ghias with the cause OF the oppressed,
and his constant finding OF parallels
between the battles against privilege
Ia ages gone by and those OF to day,
make yhe description OF the dead pact
read like a description OF the living
present."
M. Watson il one of the most for
chile writer's the South has ever pro.
due d, and in dealing with history he
is at his best. In tree and stirring
that compels attention, be tells
the story of the progress OF Americas
sister republic and points ous the lee
sons to be learned from the wonder
fully checkered career Of the French
people. The work deserves lasting
recognition.

SIMPLE JUSTICE.

We heartily endorse the following
from the Durham Herald:
"Mr. Baddingield has turned over
to De. Abbott the amount drawn by
him from the State. as salary as Cor
poration Commissioner. The legisla-
ture should sac to it that NJ. Bidding
field ia paid for his services, as he was
appointed by that body, and the suit
with Mr.. Ab50sS was not Of his seek
ing"
This is but simple j~ustics. Mr.. Bed
dingfald cannot be blamed for the IN.
constitutionsli6y Of the act establish

accepting a position il the States ser
vica as q member Of that body, be did
just what almost any other North
Carolinian would have done, and we
think ne should b9paid for his services.

CURIOSITY.

Voltaire, i'm one of his writings,
states as his opinion: 1t is curiosity
alone that induces people to hasten to
the shore to see q vessel overwhelmed
in tempest and remarks that he had
experienced the feelings at such an
event, as those of only curiosity and
pity. He claims that curiosity is re-
turned to man, monkeys and little
dogs. Take little dog with you In a
closed carriage, he will be constantly
putting up his paws against the door
to see what is passing. A monkey
searches everywhere and appears to be
examining everything. As to men, we
all know how they are constituted in
London, Paris, New York San Fran
cisco or Honolulu. All meet you with
the greeting What's the news?"
If there's anything bothers the curious
1t is something which one wishes TO
know.
And one really becomes very anxious
When the course to the climax is
slow.

Waimanalo Man Did Not Mistake the
Iva for the America Maru-Aorangi
Caused the Trouble

EDITOR STAR:-In your issue of
May 18TH ! notice your remarks unGer
the heading of Iva Achieves Greatness
SO far as I have since been able 10
learn, the Iva did not reach Honolulu
at or even near the time described Dv
you. and it is therefore to you rather
than to me, that the Iva owes her dis
tinction. | conclude you have simply
selected her as being i'm greatest con-
trast to the America Maru. in order TO
"scorch' me. In that you have Ste
ceeded l may say that l feel all you
intended me to feel and perhaps more
Several thousand and one times have
| reported the steamers correctly to the
intense delight of you and the town"
so to speak, and you said nothing. but
as soon as you think | have made
mistake, you jump on me. Please ac-
cept my sincere thanks. The Aorangi
was the steamer seen from here and
reported as "a foreign steamer already
past Makapuu point" | did not see her
myself but was told so by a party who
said she had passed the point few
minutes ago The minutes may have
been long enough to permit her being
sighted from Diamond head before I
reported her.
In regard to reporting steamers off
Waimanalo, let me tell you that it is
no easy matter to keep lookout for
the sea without climbing forty feet up
a series of ladders. When a steamer is
due and | am asked by you or anyone
else to do so, ! keep a lookout by going
up that forty feet once every hour. It
is monotonous task at any time. espe-
cially on such occasions as when the
steamer gets past in the interval. with
out my seeing her, and | continue
my hourly trips for half a day some
times more, after she is in port, on such
occasions ] do feel considerable
'scorched."
The central operators very promptly
ring me up, every time a steamer is
due and setme at my task and when
she gets past me- as above described,
they forget me and so I continue to
climb the ladder and the town rejoices,
but l don't.
Now, I will tell you again that feel
badly aggrieved by the "scorching' you
have given me, and will ask you to
consider the thousand and one correct
reports of the past, and overlook the
one only mistake, that of seeing the
Iva when she was not in sight, and
make amends by sending me a pair of
good glasses to keep a lookout with.
that is to say, a pair of glasses good
enough to distinguish between the iva
and the America Maru, or if you can
get them, a pair of glasses good enough
to see the Iva with when she is not off
here at all.
To help you in your quest for glasses
star brand glasses are said to be the
best. If they are not obtainable at the
opticians Jim Dodd keeps them.

An appropriation of $4,000 for the ez-

venting the evils caused by the union
of white colonists with black women
was recently proposed in the Reichstag.
Herr Bebel, the Social Democrat how
ever, managed to make the plan of an

that the government withdrew the pro-
posal from this years budget. We think
that Herr Bebel was awfully imperti-

such nice innovation, and beg to Of

What Was Sid and Done at the University
Extension Meeting Last Evening
Those Who Spoke.

The first meeting preparatory TO the
second series of university extension
lectures was held last evening in the
High School. The evening was RAINY
but that fact in no way dampened the
enthusiasm nor lessened the interest
of those who are anxious to see the ex-
tension system placed on a firm foot
ing in these Islands. During the even
ing there were addresses by the two
distinguished educators now in Homo
lulu and by men who have been prom
inently identified with the cause of ed
ucation in these Islands.
Professor Rolfe gave briefly the his
tory of the university extension move
ment; how from an unpretentious be-
ginning in an English city it has
grown to be one of the greatest existent
powers for general education.
DIR. Dewey, who will take charge of
the work while here and who is one
of the greatest Of extensionists. spoke
OF the manifold advantages of the sys-
tenn. 1t has the peculiar quality of
meeting needs that would otherwise
have been passed by.
Professor Scott thought that al
though the present field for the work
was necessarily limited on account of
the small number of people who would
avail themselves of the opportunities.
there is a great future before it in
these Islands.
Inspector General Townsend dwelt
upon the need of keeping in touch with
the university work of today Extern
sion has done much toward raising the
standard of education in the States.
and for that reason is needed here.
While a good general knowledge is
found on the Islands there is a deplor-
able lack of the higher education
Minister Mott-Smith emphasized the
remarks made by the other speakers.
The manner of carrying on local
university extension work was dis
cussed, and it was finally decided to en-
trust the matter to the University
Club, under whose auspices the work
is to be conducted in the future.

Male lima Club Out for Glory

Practice.
Now that the baseball season has fiz-
zled out just as the teams were begin
ming to put up a good article of ball
the chasers of the pigskin are com
mencing to warm up and football mat
ters are having their preparatory sim
mer.
The Male lima is the first team tC
enter the lists. 1t is composed mainly
of the graduate players of last year s
High School aggregation. Among its
members are En- Sang, one of the best
halfbacks of the city; George Lucas
and Bonnie Clark, who made good rec
ords while playing the end positions
last season; Chiffon, the reliable CEN
ter, and others. Though the team
will average light, they should show
good team work, as they have all
played together.
Manager Crane of the town team will
issue the first call for preparatory
practice in a couple of weeks. 1t is
intended this year to have a thorough
preliminary training SO that when the
games are played they will not consist
of unbrOken fumbling.
