A CRYING NEED.

The girls industrial school should not
be forgotten by this Legislature. Cases
requiring such an establishment are
constantly coming before the magis
tracy, or the school authorities and the
problem is what to do with these chill
dren. If they could be committed to
an industrial school they would have
a fair chance of becoming useful MEM
bers of the community. If they are not
committed and taken away from their
present surroundings they will infalli
bly, go down the path to ruin, as so
many of their sisters have done before
them.
To those who know the circumstances
it seems almost unnecessary to argue
on the matter. 1t is to them such a
very urgent necessity. The question
has often been up before the public
constantly during the last two years,
and Judge Wilcox has repeatedly re-
ferred to it from the bench. When the
session is over people will be again
asking what can be done for the home
less and erring girls, and we shall have
the usual crop of letters denouncing
this or that department for not pro-
viding for them.
Now is the time to provide for these
girls, it will be no use talking about
lative session is over. This is a work
that the philanthropic in our midst
should enter into heartily, and unless
they do enter into it heartily, there Is
great danger of it's being laid aside
for another two years, and then there
will be a two years crop of lost souls
and ruined bodies which will be count
ed against those who have failed to
use their utmost endeavors in this
cause.
1t is true that money is short. But
money can be found for this purpose,
at least enough to make beginning.
The plans of the Department of Edu-
cation in this direction were, perhaps
more than can be now carried out, but
they were modest enough. The expen-
diture contemplated was 100000. This
was to cover the opening of a boys in
dustrial school on a 700 acre tract of
government land at the north end of
the island, and the present Reform
School buildings were to be used as
an industrial school for girls. This
plan did not meet with entire favor
nv some of the true thinkers in the
Legislature, but it was the most econo-
mical that could be thought of.
The Star would most earnestly urge
that if the plan above outlined cannot
be carried out, that at least some plan
should be adopted which would enable
the Territorial officers to make some
provision to meet a crying need.

Walter G. Smith has long had an
honorable career both here and on the
mainland as journalist of rare ability
and of scrupulous honesty. A true bill
has been found against him by the
grand jury on a charge of perjury,
Those who know Mr.. Smith well cannot
but believe that there has been some
mistake in the evidence, and look to
the trial to completely vindicate his
position. Even men who have been
opponents of Mr.. Smith refuse to be-
lieve in the charge. Mr.. Smith denies
that there is any truth in it. OF course
The Star cannot discuss the case. but
it can say that Mr., Smith has the loyal
support of host of friends, and a large
number Of political foes.

The Kilohana Art League has done
a great deal towards raising ideals for
Honolulu. From small and very modest
beginnings it has gradually grown till
it has become quite a power in our
midst. 1t has certainly brought to-
gether the artists of the city and has
stimulated much interest aesthetically.
There are. fortunately for the commun-
ity. some very energetic members who
devote themselves to organizing enter
tainments and exhibitions which are of
great interest to people in general, and
which serve to brighten and to improve
our daily lives.

The Legislators We're overjoyed at
least a majority of them We're, when
they drew their golden tokens on Sat
urday They should enter into the feel
ings of others who have waited long
for their money and hardly see it in
sight yet. If the Legislators would
only hurry up and pass the appropria'
ton bill they would make quite a
number of people happy. Hope deferred
maketh the heart sick.

that Uncle Sans law insisted upon

smile they each pocketed the fee

The Legislature was not long in using
up its expense money. OF the balance
a considerable portion is hypOthecated,
so that the surplus is more apparent
than real. We have certainly had the
most costly Legislature that the ISL
