small but well selected list of
books. During the year new
books have been added from
time to time. Last Monday

making an excellent librarian
and by her advice enables all

If so renew at once. Then if

Ignorance.

Scrumbling, what is it? We
do not know, Webster does not
know and we asked a printer of
twenty-five years experience it
he knew and he said: Does it
belong to the printers trade?
Now as a matter of fact techni-
cal terms interest none except
those in that special branch of
business. Technical terms are
terms that even students who
have reached the higher
branches are not only not sup
posed to know anything about,
but in reality something that
their tutors know nothing about
and would be no better off if
they did. A method of learn
ing how to earn bread, butter
and clothes is of more impor-
lance.

Observations of an Optimist.

In taking pains we capture

Half loaf is sometimes bet
ter than a whole cake.
1t is as well to believe that
Nero has long since become be,

The smile that is captured in
a photograph may brighten
some life.
He was an optimist who said
that there is a jewel in the head
of every toad.
The one-gallused boy gets
more pleasure out of his clothes
than the wealthy dude.
The most delightful thing in
life is to watch d little child's
joy in mere action.
If you have worked hard the
more you are fatigued, the
stronger your character has
grown.
A little diversion would pre-
vent many a sin.
Even the neglect of others
may make us stronger.
How happy is a baby with

The unjust as we'll as the just
are often thankful for the rain.
A naughty child can be made
good by simply changing the
subject.
The summer flowers linger
just as long as it is best for us
that they should stay.
Every mans environment con.
tains thousand things worthy
of his appreciation.
A dog that is a nuisance is

FLAG ANDycoNSTITUTION.

We hesitate at the door of the court
where Judges Humphreys and GAL
braith lately declared that the Constf-
tuition follows the flag. but will venture.
when they are not looking. to tack up
these two dissenting opinions on the
same subject. One of them was writ
ten by Daniel Webster, the great ex-
FOUNDER of American organic law: the
other by Thomas II. Benton of Mis-
souri,, who was thirty years in the
United States Senate
First comes the opinion of Mr.. Web
ster:
IL seems to be taken for granted that
the right of trial by jury, the habeas cor
pus and every principle designed to pro-
tect personal liberty, is extended by force
of the Constitution itself over every new
Territory. That proposition can not be
maintained at all. How do you arrive at
II by any reasoning or deduction? 1t can
only be arrived at by the loosest of all
possible construction. 1t Is said that this
must be so. else the right OF habeas cor
pus would be lost. Undoubtedly these
rights must be conferred by law before
they can be enjoyed In a Territory. .
When new territory has been acquired 1t
has always been subject to the laws of
Congress, to such laws as Congress
thought proper to pass for its immediate
government, for its government during
is Territorial existence, during the pre-
paratory state In which Il was to remain
1rtil II was ready to come into the Union
- one Of the family of States.

THE QUEENS HOSPITAL.

The Queens Hospital needs money
and ought to have 1t. At the same time
the institution is badly placed and is
so utterly out of date in the matter of
its buildings and equipment as to de-
prive 1t of some of that interested pub
lie sympathy which might get help for
IL from the Legislature.
IL 1t is possible to sell the land where's
the hospital is now placed enough
money might be realized from it to
build a modern structure for which the
Government could perhaps be induced
to donate site on some of its highkt
lands where such a hospital ought to
go. Down on the low levels where a
breeze rarely stirs the leaves of the too
numerous shade trees. where rain does
not run off the ground, and where heat.
humidity and mosquitoes abound is a
wretched place for hospital. OF
course in the old days when the high
ground was not accessible and when
the Beretania and Punchbowl neighbor-
hood was not shut out from the breezes,
there was an excuse for choosing that
site. There may have been other strong
reasons. AS things are now the hills
are in touch with the city through a
fine road system and rapid transit Is
on the way. A site somewhere back of
the Makiki reservoir or on the Punch
bowl slope would be ideal. The objec-
tion Of distance from the center of the
city might be met by having a small
receiving hospital down town for emer-
gency cases. At any rate the move to
better site and the acquisition of
proper buildings ought to be made
providing the charter of the Queens
Hospital vol permit the necessary
transfer of old realty. If not 1t is
quite in order to have a new hospital
under other auspices.

THE TRUST AND THE REMEDY.

The pretence upon which the plumb
ers' combine organized was sanitary.
he actual object was to rule out the
cheap. Independent journeyman plumb
ers, white and Asiatic, and put the
louseholders, who had been already re-
auired by law to make connections be-
tween their dwellings and the mains,
at the mercy Of rapacious trust.
AS things stand, If man wants to
put in hts own plumbing or to give the
lob to an independent workingman, he
cannot buy foot of pipe or any other
similar article In this city. Such goods
are only sold to the. members OF the
combine. Then the householder, COM
pelled by law to have plumbing done,
must forego the idea OF doing the work
himself. must deal with the trust and
must pay any price that is asked; and
the price Is from five to fifty times more
than 1t ought to be. Talk about
lead pipe cinch." Why everything the
FUNNY men ever wrote about opufent
and naughty plumbers is coming true
What Is to be done? OF course the
repeal of the plumbing regulations in
their present form will help the public
to fight the trust though it is plain
that the sanitation of the city cannot
be imperilled by anything like long
return to the cesspool system What is
wanted is competition in the sale OF
plumbing supplies and the advent OF
plumbers who do not belong to the gen.
eral American combine which is based
upon a trust agreement signed at Balti-
more. Competition is not easy to
get owing to the fact that most of the
big supply houses of the Coast are in
the ring but as not all of them are,
there is a chance, which win be taken,
to get plumbing material delivered here
to any retail buyer. The Advertiser is
pleased to announce, as the result of its
agitation, that supplies are about to
be sent for and will probably be on sale
here within a month.
Another step may be taken Last
year the San Francisco Chronicle edi-
torially attacked the coal trust of that
city as conspiracy in restraint OF
trade. lawyer. wanting to make
took the case of a small In
dependent dealer who had been refused
coal supplies by the wholesale combine,
and carried it to the Federal Court. The
fact that the original coal supplies
came from outside the State was prov
en- to have been an infraction, on the
side, of the Inter State
Commerce Act. The coal trust made
fight but 1t was beaten. its
combine was smashed and big fines
were levied. AS we recall the coal
trusts offence 1t was directly parallel
with that of the joint plumbing COM
Dine of California and Hawaii and may
De defeated In the same way. All that
s needed Is some one to bring the mat
ter before the Federal Judge Of this /
Territory or before the next Federal
Grand Jury
The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1900-10-19

Unless somebody wants to bring an
action on his own account in the Fed
eral Court to break up the plumbing
trust the aid of the Federal Grand Jury
may be invoked. A conspiracy or COM
bination in restraint of trade such as
the acknowledgment plumbing COM
bine assuredly is, is contrary to the
United States law and offenders against
it have been severely punished Every
time a local dealer refuses to sell
plumbing goods to any conner and does
so because Of an agreement entered in
to with the California Hawaii trust, he
exposes himself to fine or Imprisonment
or both. AS Honolulu is waking up to
the robbery by the plumbers and is like
ly to get ugly over it, it Is wise dealer
who stands from under in time. Other
wise he may find himself in the same
hole with the San Francisco coal COM
bine.
