C~~~~~a clusions the Hawaiian
Government has arrived at within
nine months from the hosting of

it was rather held crime-was
for anybody to say that the condi-
ton of the plantation laborer in
Hawaii was other than a danger

pessimists have groaned out all

there is some sterling virtue in

Pains cars on the Beretanis
street line afford a pointer to the
Orpheum management. They
make more money from t''stsnding
room only" than from seats.
Few men have figured more for
the public than Statistician At
kinson of Boston, but who would
have thought he should ever figure
as a traitor?
Car drivers should be protected
from assault at any cost-except-
ing, perhaps, when they stop their
cars on street crossing walks.
Even then the clubbing of them
should be left to the police, al
though that may mean the drivers
left to do as they darn please. No
private citizen has a right to take
the law into his own hands, and,
besides, the street cars have az
much right to be common nuis-
ance as all the other vehicles that
usurp the privilege.
M
Experts" testify that prims
facie dangerous practise to life
and limb is universally prevalent
among builders. Thereupon a
wise coroner aud a solemn jury
declare that there has been mo
carelessness" connected with the
killing of a man from the prac-
tise. What heaps of money would
have been saved in damages by
railway companies, on the same
principle, if they had originally
made it a universal practise to
disregard every precaution against
the sacrifice of life and limb! In
deed, some of them tried to have
it that way, but legislatures every
where early stamped the effort
with an emphatic "kibosh."
Don't count all public improve
ments ordered by the Legislature
as realities. They are very apt to
hang up as Rowellities.

What the twentieth century
may bring forth is beyond human
precedence. Still, it may not be
impious to teach our little ones
that they may live to see River
park dedicated and their children
playing under the trees.

The hanging gardens of Baby
