We cannot blame the youngs-
ters. 1t is great deal more pleasant
to sing Tira Mola with the accom-
paniment of an Ukulele, to standing
over the wash tub or broiling piece
of steak. And it is far more interesting
to play baseball in the presence Of
admiring girls than to stay at the bel
lows in the blacksmith shop or hit
the hot iron on the anvil. 1t is
natural for the young people to
shirk work but it is crime on the
part of those who over-educate the
poorer classes and at the same time
furnish the Chinese with sinews of
war in the fight for existence.

1t is very good to learn everything
in the world as long as the learning
does not interfere with practical
issues. A boy who will probably
eventually inherit fortune can
afford to study Latin and Greek, to
dance minuets and parade in fancy
costume at a calisthenic exhibition.
The boy whose parents deprive
themselves of many necessares for
his education should be taught to
become a useful self-supporting
member of the community and even
tually enabled to repay to the good
parents the money, if not the love,
that were showered on him. Latin
and fancy calisthenics are of no
value to him. He will forget the
dead language year after he leaves
school and in the turmoil OF life and
fight for living he will soon realize
that the fancy exhibitions we're
waste of time and of no practical
use.
The coming residents of these Isl.
ands will be forced to deal with cir
cumstances for which they are
wholly unprepared. The day will
come when the fttest will survive,
when the young easy going genera
ton will have to compete with Asia
atics whom fanatics are teaching
civilization and English in the name
of Christ, and who, as sure as the
world moves, will some day drive
the Hawaiian born to the wall.
We have not word to say against
the honest intention of the white
men who are giving to the young
Chinese the skill and knowledge
which eventually will enable them
to supersede the children of the soil
and the "whites" identified with the
the Islands, but we think that the
men who help in doing so are won
derfully short-sighted and lacking
the first instinct of patriotism and
respect for their race and for the
people of their adopted country.
At the closing exercises of the
Punahou Preparatory School. a
Chinese boy with his queue, the
badge OF servitude on his head, de-
livsred an address on Patriotism,
and he was applauded by Anglo
Saxon mothers and fathers whose
children some day will have to COM
pete in the struggle for existence
with that young queue-wearing boy
who can live on 10 cents day, the
sum that our children expect to use
for car fare every day in the year.

Another smallpox suspect was taken into
custody and sent to the detention camp
this morning His name is John Root. col
ored, and his home Is at 10 Shepherds AL
ley. Other members Of his family were
taken from that address and sent to the
camp Wednesday. Root surrendered him
self at Police Headquarters about $50
o'clock and by so doing created a mild stir.
The man walked into the Detective Bureau
and announced that he came TO give him
self up as he understood the police wanted
him. He did not know what he was wanted
for, but after being closely questioned
blandly stated that it was possible he had
smallpox.
The announcement caused CONSERVATION
and was the signal for general exodus.
1t was at the same time the signal for a
rush 10 the telephone 10 communicate to
the Health Office the intelligence that
probable smallpox victim was at large.
The news was responsible for another stir
when received at the Health ONCE. All
was excitement and hustle and little time
was lost in despatchins a smallpox police
man TO take charge Of the suspect
When the policeman arrived at the Detec-
tive office Root was standing in the alley
in the rear to where he had removed when
requested. Several persons rushed up 10
the policeman and in unison excitedly in
formed him OF the suspicion against the COL
ored man. Immediately pair of handouts
were produced and in another instant Root
and the policeman were manacled together
At the Police Court this morning it was
stated that the alarm alleged 10 have been
felt there was absurd. The statements
made in morning psper to the effect that
the court would be disinfected, that the
vans used to convey prisoners TO the work
house would be fumigated and that prison
ers would be detained at the court until
such action could be taken were emphati-
cally denied. The statement that woman
suffering with smallpox had been in the
Police Court dock and had gone to the
workhouse In the van with other prisoners
was also denied.

The falling of in the forming Of industrial

Remarkable Remedy which II
Bringing Comfort to Thou
sands of Sufferers.
Probably one-half the people who see this
article suffer from piles.
1t is one of the cQmmonest Of diseases as
well as one Of the most obstinate and pain
full.
People suffer from piles for years and
just because 1t is not Immediately fatal
they neglect it.
Carelessness causes no end Of suffering.
Carelessness about SO simple thing as
piles has frequently caused death.
Hemorrhages occur from no apparent
cause and the loss of blood causes death.
Surgical operations for piles often cause
death. Piles are simple In the beginning.
and easily cured.
They can be cured even In the worst
stages without pain. loss OF blood, or de-
tention from business. And the remedy
which will do 1t surely and completely Is
the Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t allays the itching and Inflammation i'm
mediately, heals the irritated surfaces, and
after regular use for short time removes
the swelling and puts the rectal membrane
into sound, healthy condition.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms or
piles thoroughly ard permanently.
!, A great many pile remedies contain CO.
caine. morphine. and similar dangerous
drugs to quiet the pain and make the pa
tent believe he is getting well. but their
action is temporary. and it requires no
argument to show the danger Of using such
remedies.
The Pyramid Pile Cure contains no
cocaine, narcotic, nor any poisonous drug
whatever, and it is SO far ahead OF any
other pile remedy for safety and efficiency
as not to be mentioned in the same class.
ANY sufferer from piles who will write
the Pyramid Drug Co., OF Marshall Mich,
may receive a valuable little book on the
nature and cure Of piles, sent free by
mail.
Or better yet. ask any druggist in the
United States what Is the safest and surest
pile cure and he will say the Pyramid.
All druggists sell full sized packages OF
the Pyramid Pile Cure at SO cents. They
cure itching piles. protruding. bleeding, or
any form Of this common and troublesome
disease.
