w. G. Irwin gives quite another i'm

perienced in going round Europe and
America. Mr.. Irwin seem to be at odds
with Mr.. Berry. The Banker thinks
that the exhibit was a satisfactory one
and called forth considerable attention.
1t is difficult to reconcile the reports

one else to make them to. The govern

The stories about the Porto Ricans
coming to Hawaii are certainly very
lurid. If the statements are true there
should be law enough in the mainland
to bring the criminals to justice. 1t is
a very serious thing to restrain the
liberty of any one, and it would seem
impossible that in free country like
the United States any such outrage
could be perpetrated. That the plan
ters of Hawaii need labor is just as
true as that the fruit growers of Cali
fornia need labor, or the planters of
the South or the coal owners of Penn
sylvania. If any one has engaged to
supply the demand in any one of these
places, it must be supplied properly
If the person who undertakes TO get
laborers mislnforms them, and coeTces
them during their journey to the scene
of their labors, he should be punished
and there are laws to punish him if
they are invoked. But because "a man
does such a thing there is no need to
foam at the mouth over the Hawaiian
planters. They have offered good
wage and work. If people choose to
come and get that wage and work,
well and good. The planters don't and
can't force them to come. There is
an amount of venomous stuff written
about this which is purely jealousy.
The attack upon the Porto Rican lab
orers, and the stories about them come
from the planters of the South, and are
further inspired by the political rancoT
of the Democrats, and Republican pa
pers lend themselves to the spread OF
the lurid stories. - A&G4

The certificate question over which 80
much has been talked about in certain
quarters, fines down to the fact that

those entitled to them have not receiv-

Thus another of the kicks which are so
freely distributed by those who don't

A PROBLEM.

There is much work to be done among
the young in this city unless the eiti-
szens desire to have a set of larrikins or
hoodlums on their hands. The Star has
frequently called attention to the fact
that boys are starting out on career
of gambling which must eventually land
them in Jail. But this is by no means
the main point That is that the boys
are corrupted in their early career and
1he citizens are responsible for the
growing corruption
To reach these little sinners is one of
the hardest jobs either the regular, or
the school police have. The sympathy
OF the crowd is always with the boy
who shoves his fist into his eye, blub-
bers, and says "me do nothing wrong.
Me good boy. Other boy bad boy" The
lot of those who have to round up these
strays from the right path is no very
easy one. But after all that is the bust
ness of executive officers and that is
what they are paid for. The trouble is
very frequently that the public asks for
severity and then repudiates what it
has asked for.
But this question of a rowdy youth
growing up in the Territory, is one
which requires the very strictest atten-
tion. We have been free from youthful
hoodlums, but we are getting warnings.
The wharf rats, which have been very
ably chased up by the officers, we have
fairly got away with. On enquiry it is
stated that the gangs have abandoned
their haunts. But if they left one place
they have gone to others, and where
ever such gangs congregate they should
be broken up. There is yet a gang on
Wyllie street.
1t is true that these boys use the
greatest precautions against being
caught. But no matter what the pre-
cautions may be- they are bound to be
overcome in the long run. 1t may seem
small subject at present but the exs-
tence of the Larrillin, the Hoodlum, and
the Hooligan in Australia, the United
States and Great Britain, comes from
laxity in dealing with just such condi-
lions as face us at the present time in
our Territory of Hawaii, and they must
be overcome. We can catch the evil
in time, but if we neglect our duty we
will ourselves suffer.

is reported as being as bad as the old
Chinatown. OF course this cannot be
exactly correct, for the condition OF
the old Chinatown was the result of
many years of filth, one might safely
say several decades of filth. 1t is a
very curious thing that the oriental is
personally most scrupulously clean. He
makes an appearance, before his en-
ployers, of the daintiest personal jaun-
tiness, and he, in nine cases out of ten
issues from a sleeping slum, that even
Weary Willie" of the comic papers
would shudder to enter. 1t is to be
hoped that a curb will be put upon the
filth of the new Chinatown.

a private institution. with all the dis
advantages and narrownesses Of the
latter and none Of the broadening in
nuences OF the former.
II is true that one cannot run counter
to the current OF public opinion. But
a great number OF those who take books
out OF the library are pupils Of the High
School of oahu College and of the
Preparatory and some other schools.
From among these even for their
studies one would have imagined that
more books upon History, Biography
and Travel and General Literature
would have been Withdrawn.
In the selection of books for the IL
brary there is no doubt that books have
been ordered for individual readers, and
that once read by the particular party
who desired the work, it has never been
called for from the shelves, this has
happened in the matter of certain re-
ligious works, and doubtless has hap
pened in other cases.
A good library is an ornament and a
glory to a city, but to be a glory 1t
should be a we'll selected and a con-
stantly growing library. A library
which is supported by seventy-five per
cent Of readers of fiction is not library
which brings honor and credit. 1t is
merely on the plane of a circulating
watering place library, and what Of
value it has is buried in useless truck.
The library as present run may be
amuseing to a few, but it does not full
fill it's proper function.
