Prof. e. e. Slosson, Of the Bniversit,
Of Wyoming. gives some good reasons
In the Independent for the existence
Of coeducational colleges. He not only
admits that the throwing together of
young men and women at college en-
courages marriage, but he further as
serts that 1t leads to wiser marriages
than those promoted by the ballroom
and the ordinary society methods. The
statistics Of Bryn Mawr, q college for
women, show that only 81 Of the 234
graduates up to 1894 have married, OF
only IA per cent Figures from the Uni
versity of Kansas, Q coeducational In
stitution, show that Of the 130 women
graduates up to 1894 Is have married.
Or 80 per cent. Thirty-one Of the sixty.
i've married fellow students. indicating
that propinquity Is a good match-mak-
er. Prof. Slosson sums up the case by
saying: IF you want young people to
marry let them be together; II you dom,
want them to marry keep them apart
he is undoubtedly correct in saying
that the enforced isolation Of the sexes
during the most impressieRabie age
tends strongly toward permanent cell.
bacy. While one cannot quite approve
Of the catalogue Of a Western college
that asserted there were moro happy
marriages among its students than In
any other institution in the country
there is no denying that the healthful
association Of young men and women
at college is a normal and desirable
way of educating the sexes to know
and appreciate each other. As the main
object ir view Is education, the path tc

Up HILL ON A "MORE )"

The feat of making the ascent of
Mount Washington in an automobile
has just been accomplished by F.
O. Stanley, of Newton, Mass. THE
trip from Newton to Pinkham Notch,
distance of about two hundred miles,
was made by Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley in
their automobile at the rate of about
eighteen miles an hour" says The Au-
tomobile, New York. THE distance
from this point to the summit is some
thing more than ten miles on a rather
even grade, which would not be so bad
for a short distance, but it ends only
at the top. The carriage used by Mr..
Stanley is steam carriage, using gaso-
line for fuel. Two gallons are said to
have been required to make the ascent,
which at the usual price of seven or
eight cents a gallon would not make
the expense very heavy unless water
came high in price, of course, as it has
in some sections of the country the
past dry season."

1t says something for Honolulu that
it can turn out such an exhibition OF

that exhibitions of this kind give a dis
tinct stimulus to the artistic taste of
the community. 1t is gratifying to
notice that the exhibitions grow larg-
er from year to year, and that the pic
lures exhibited show marked improve

past, and the contention of Hilo in
this particular is just Hilo has voiced
its objections, and no doubt Maui will
voice similar views when it has a
mouthpiece of its own.
In point of fact, what The Star con-
tends for, and what the bulk of our
Island citizens desire and have work
ed for in the past, is local self govern
ment. In making the remarks that
have been made there is no desire to
run counter to the bill soon to be laid
before Congress, nor is their any wish
to tear it up. But there is duty de-
volving upon thinkers to express the
views which seem of value, and this
question of local self government is
one which is really vital to us. II
would be almost criminal to allow il
to slip from our grasp for want of a
few words to set the issue clearly be-
fore the people of the Islands. Local
self government is government of the
people, by the people, and that is, in
essence, the true American system of
government.
In replying to criticism upon the
views expressed in yesterdays Star it
is necessary point out that this paper
did not admit" that the appoint
ments made by the executive would
have to be confirmed by the Terrific
rial Legislature. There was no admis-
sion at all. 1t was statement of fact.
and it was shown that under that pro-
vision it would be necessary for the
people of the Territory to concentrate
their efforts to obtain a thoroughly
good Legislature.
The present is eminently the time
to discuss these questions. 1t will be
no use discussing after congress has
acted. OF course whatever congress
does will be accepted with satisfac-
ton, but it is wise to have differing
views expressed.
