comment apProvingly on the ratifica-
ton of the Hay-Pauneefote treaty by
the United States senate. The Globe
sees in the Overwhelming majority
for the ratification proof that the
compact is regarded by the senate as
one-sided and calculated to adversely
affect British political and CONNER
cial interests. Senator Teller's Of
fensive phrase, in her present mood,
clearly signifies" the paper says, 'the
conviction that England has become
too submissive to stand up for her
rights against the great republic. ="

render, not a bargain. We hand over

A week ago one of our young men
took ride out to Clayton. Reaching
there it occurred to him to take a
smoke. Adjusting his pipe he felt in
his pocket and found that he had no
matches. Starting at SeviPs he found
him just out and went to every other
store in town with the same result.
The wheelman thought it a singular
coincidence that every merchant in
town should get out of matches at the
same time-a possible occurance, but
not likely to happen often where peo-
pie are addicted to bicycle riding.

When Judge Humphreys wrote the

were no longer in force, having been
superseded and destroyed months before
by Federal application of the Ed

had been no child prostitution within
the ken of the authorities. He knew
that the decent people of Hawaii had
been divided as to the value of the old
law and that many of the leaders of the

State regulation of vice. But he he
lieved that he could gain something for
himself at Washington by Lying open

REGATTA DAY.

Time honored Regatta Day has come
round again and in honor thereof the
harbor is arrayed in gala dress. All
day long vast crowds will witness the
various struggles for aquatic supremacy
and will return home surprised with
clean sport and carrying in tneIr nos
trils the Asssvor of the good salt sea. 1t
is the peoples holiday and they recog-
nize it as such. Today opulent planter
and INDECENT Porto Rican will rub
shoulders and enthuse over the triumph
of Drawn; today of all days in the year
Honolulans of all walks of life will min
gle together in the comraderie which
Is born of sport. The Myrtle and Hea-
lani boat clubs are slated to contest
for the blue ribbon of the harbor and
before nightfall the records of five more
battles will be emblazoned on the ban
ners of the two great patrons of the
water jousts. 1t will be a great day
and it Is to be hoped that the interest
in yachting and rowing which is now
at its height will not be suffered to
flicker and gradually die out as has
been the case in previous years. Ho
nolulu, from a yaehtsman's standpoint,
is singularly favored and there should
be activity among the local fleet OF
yachts all the year round. What is
needed Is an association of yachtsmen.-
In the past the boat clubs have been
almost the sole fosterers of the sport
New boats are being constantly built
and imported and the need for yacht
ing association is growing daily. With
the advo ntapps of climate fair winds
and Pearl Harbor as cruising destina-
ton there is no reason why Honolulu
should not take place with the seaports
of the Pacific Coast as a yachting cen
ter.
