THE PHILOSOPHY
OF DESPAIR

The audience which gathered at Cen
trail Union Church yesterday morning
to hear the address of Prof. David Starr
Jordan on "The Philosophy of Despair"
which took the place of Rev. W. Nj.
Kincaid's regular Sunday morning SER
mon, was large and rather an unusu-
al one. Many who were not of the reg
ular congregation assembled to hear
the words Of the lecturer, and his forty
five-minute talk on The Philosophy of
Despair was not disappointment to
those who had anticipated hearing an
interesting talk.
Prof. Jordan quoted at length from
Homer's poem on Despair and also
from the poem written by Thompson
while in delirium tremens he dealt
with various phases of the feeling of
despair, analyZing the conditions un-
der which the genus homo is most apt
to be cast into the Slough of despond,"
and pointing out the consultations pos
sible to the situation and the means of
combating the feeling. His opening
statement was to the effect that all
young people are very susceptible to
certain phase Of despair, which, If con-
quered, served to develop character and
temper the judgment, but which. if al
lowed to take firm hold, often retards
progress and destroys prospects of
bright careers. Prof. Jordan also spoke
of the phases of despair that come later
in life, from struggles with overpower-
Ing circumstances, from the commits
sion of crimes, from the loss of former
power and influence, etc. Many times,
the lecturer said, despair arises from
the physical condition and is perhaps
due to an ailment of the liver rather
than OF the heart. Prof. Jordan advised
his audience to read poems of despair
with an upward infection of the voice,
so as to encourage hope: by chnging to
| hope, he said, one might combat with
| despair, and there is no other weapon
with which one may combat in the
struggle. Hope fed on itself, he said
and the growing of hope meant the
/ Punishment of despair.
| A cordial demonstration OF applause
followed the lecture and many gathered
about DR.. Jordan after the services tc
thank him personally for his words.

PROTECTION AT THE PAIL.

When the winds blow with such
herceness that a horse and buggy are
carried out of their way over the
Pail, attention is called to the condition
of the protective fences at that exposed
point of the trans-Island road which,
by reason of the danger, should be
known as Cape Horn. Ever since the
building of the road across tha Pail
there has been a peril which has cried
for remedy. The fencing along the
road after the point of rocks is once
rounded was put up when the roadway
was finished, and is In fairly good con-
dition. But lust before the point of Tire
mountain is reached, and tina. is where
the principal accidents of the past have
occurred, there is an absence Of protec-
ton. Here is where there should be a
fence and a strong one, too. 1t is at
this point that the animal which can
not face the winds sweeping around the
rocks will commence to back and not
stop until the vehicle is over the edge.
In fact, there have been accidents
enough of this very nature to indicate
that in it lies the principal trouble.
Hyen with such protecting ratings
there is another improvement in this
point of the mountain has been blasted
away until there is a space of several
yards which intervenes between the
roadway proper and the face of the cliff.
This gives the winds a clear sweep
around any vehicle, which was not the
case when the road was first opened.
Even If the animal being driven has
the courage to face high wind, the
fact that the blast may get full sweep
through the opening and strike the We
hicle on both sides renders the chance
of danger twice what it was when one
might keep close to the side of the
mountain and thus expose only one
face to the force of the storm. AS 1t
is. the most frequent passers of that
point drive over the unfinished bed, the
rough surface of the blasted rocks, so
as to keep close to the cliff
On the day Tuthill had pilikia with
the winds others who had this plan of
movement were able to get around the
point in the teeth of the gale without
anything more than some discomfort
This would show that~there is force in
the theory as well as in the storm To
improve this point and make the road
way occupy all the space through
which the wind blows would be an in
expensive undertaking There Is little
more blasting to be done and the road
bed would be as solid as the mountain
of which it is a part Then, too, there
should be an inspection of the fences to
see that they are always strong enough
to insure the lives of all who journey
= that way and high enough so that
horses cannot leap over them.

THE FINANCES.

The Appropriation bill, carrying So
lag, S13.50 for the salaries and pay roll
for the biennial period beginning July
lst, 1901, is complete and a scanning of
the items Will be of interest to all who
have followed the discussions which
have attended the making of the bill
On its face the bill shows an increase
over the estimates in many places The
heads of departments are the principal
gamers, but in many instances the In
creases go all along the line.
The bureau totals of the current ex-
pense bill also furnish some food for
thought. These items are those cover
ing the public business and that there
viii be many items which will not re-
ceive attention goes without saying.
The large size of the bill gives color to
the belief that the Independent members
were not averse to making this measure
so large that it would be impossible for
any one to imagine that the Territory
could be run without added revenues
But there is such a thing as doing that
kind of a job too well. The very stuff
fing of the bill may defeat the purpose
of the men who placed so much In it.
There is no mandatory injunction that
goes with an appropriation for public
works. The men in charge of the bu-
reau have some discretion and should
it be impossible to see where the money
is to come from 1t is fair to believe that
not all these works will be pushed.
With the new assessment which will
mean large increase in the taxes there
will be ample money in the Treasury to
carry on the business of the Territory

J. IMPROVING ISLAND HERDS.

The plan to provide market exclu-
siveiy for the sale of Island beef may
have more in 1t than The mere supply
OF the consumers. With demand fcl
all the cattle that may be raised on the
Islands, the direct result would be that
the attention of the grazers would be-
turned to the Improvement of their
herds and the turning out of better cat-
tie and more of them.
The decrease of the herds of the ISL
ands has been most remarkable. For
this condition there are two reasons.
First, of course, would come the alb
soIption OF the grazing areas in the
sugar estates. Next would come the
inbreeding of the cattle, due to the
failure of the graZers to import new
blood ror sires. This has been carried
on in some of the districts of the Big
Island until there must be new blood
or the herds will fall away below the
point of financial profit. Where the
new blood has been brought into the
herds there has been not only an in
crease in the productivenesS of the
ranch, but the quality of the beef which
is turned out is superior to that which
was obtained under the old blood con-
ditions.
There have been tried many of the
old thoroughbred lines, and all have
succeeded here, in the past. The cattle
have been easy to fatten and have pro-
duced good returns for the investment.
On good ranges the cattle fatten so
that there is no need of stall-feeding
This means that with fair demand there
should be good returns from cattle
raising on all the Islands of the group,
and that there will be offered to the
a return from his homestead. On the
sides of the mountains of the various
Islands of the group there are small
ranches which would give to the man
eager to secure all that is possible from
his homestead chance to raise from
a couple to a dozen head of cattle The
returns from the increase would more
than pay the taxes and the clothing ac-
count of the whole family.
For instance, on Maui recently there
has been such an increase in the values
of cattle that the small owner has found
his stock worth often five hundred per
cent more than it was year ago. With
a market here which will offer the
freshly killed meats of the Island-fed
beef to the people, there will soon de-
velop the fact whether or not the peo-
pie want that sort of beef or whether
they want the frozen meats from the
Mainland or the South. In either event
the value of the Island cattle will be
speedily discovered. Should the people
fix the price, for their demand will do
so, at a figure higher than is now paid
for the meat supply of the city, there
will be resultant boom in cattle.

pOiSONEFOR THE ASKING.

In spite of the fact that there seems
to be no law to regulate the sale of
poison, under the name of a specific
kind of killer of particular insect, the
people will continue to ask why there
is no remedy for a condition which per-
mits children to go to any drug store
and there procure deadly poisons The
instance of the death of the Japanese
woman from taking a dose OF ant poi
son furnishes a case in point There
the drug was corrosive sublimate; there
was enough in the box to kill a family
and yet this drug was procured with
out question, simply because there was
label on the box saying the contents
would eradicate certain pest
The sale Of poisons as such, Is care
fully safeguarded. This is as 1t should
be, but there seems to be something
wrong when the same ends, if one Is
contemplating an unlawful use, may be
obtained by the purchase Of a COM
pound, which is of such constant de-
mand that the purchaser of a single box
may escape detection, simply by reason
of the fact that he is one of many. The
registration of all purchasers of poisons
mas had salutary effect all over the
country, for that rule may be said to
be universal now. There Is more care
given to the buying of deadly simples
and the man whose object is to accom-
piish an evil deed will not run the risk
of being traced through his purchase
In this way the law has been a deter
rent
In the older communities there has
been, in the past, a wave of the use
of poisons with suicidal intent. The poi-
son most In demand for pest has held
the center of the stage at different
times. Thus when paris green was In
constant use to destroy the potato bug
there were many deaths from the use
OF that drug. Then there was a rat
poison advertised so extensively that n
was used in many households, and
within a short time, there were deaths
from that arsenical compound reported
with frequency. Here 1t may be that
this same ant poison will be taken Ut
Il there is not some means tried to dc
away with the indiscriminate sale OF
the drug Certainly the subject Is one
" hich should be worthy of considera.
ton by the Board of Health, and some
steps taken to safeguard the people.

HAWAIIAN SELF INTEREST.

The basis of Hawaiian prosperity is
sugar; the success of the sugar indus
try depends upon cheap labor; the only
cheap labor to be found in the world is
such as we are and have been getting
if we cut off or hinder that labor by
law or otherwise Hawaiian prosperity
will begin to decline and that decline
must affect the income of every man
here, capitalist, salaried employe and
wage learner alike; hence every friend
of Hawaii is called upon to do what he
can to sustain the present industrial
system of the Islands Furthermore,
when any one makes it his business.
through the press or otherwise, to de-
ride, oppose or misrepresent the Island
labor policy, he is either an enemy, an
ignoramus or a fool.
Possibly ignorance is the main in
centive. There is an idea among the
ill-informed that if the cheap laborers
were to go, white men would come and
take their places. Assuredly the Ad-
vertiser wishes they would, that its
circulation might profit accordingly. But
they won't. The thing has been tried
over and over again, but white men re-
fuse to labor in the cane fields either
have even been tried on the profit
sharing plan and the first thing they
want to do is to hire Japs to plant and
cut the cane while they boss the job.
So it comes to cheap labor in the end
In all lands where cane is grown the
story is the same-negro labor In one
place peon labor in another, Chinese,
JaDanese, Fellaheen or Hindu labor
acknowledgements white labor. In the
one great noteworthy attempt to regu-
late cane growing on the basis OF some
other than servile industry-that made
by England in Jamaica-the sugar bus
mess went to smash
The part of wisdom in Hawaii is to
stand resolute1y by the planters in get
ting and keeping stable system of Ia
Dor which will insure the profits of the
industry. Upon those profits we all de-
pend Eliminate them and salaries fall,
rents decline, trade goes under, real es-
tate values vanish and the outgoing
steamers are crowded. Conversely, If
it were known today that the old penal
contract law would be restored by Con-
gress and the letters upon contract i'm
migration stricken off. tomorrow would
see a general revival of business
throughout the group and month
hence the influx Of millions of capital.
In other words we fall or we rise with
the planters So why abuse them?

was what the Independents first de-
clared they would compel. They may
get much of it. With a credit which
will assure the borrowing Of enough
money to take care of the pay rolls and
careful selection of those pubic
works which should be pushed, there
seems no reason to believe that there
will result any of the dire happenings
which the calamity howlers and extra
session boomers are prophesying. The
Territory will be in good shape, even II
there may not be all that one would
wish. But if one will dance to the
Home Rule hula hula one must expect
to pay the fiddler.

THE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL IN
STlTUTE.

The Federal Government annually
spends S10,000,000 and employs 5000 per-
sons in scientific investigation. Here
tofore the best use of this expenditure
has not been obtained, although most
valuable work has been done. An in
stitution has now been established
which places the nation far in advance
of all nations in the education of sci
entific men.
General Washington left by his will
tract of land in the city of Washing
ton upon which he hoped that a nation
al university would be erected. For
hundred years this project has remain
ed in allegiance; the land has remained
unused The growth of colleges and
universities elsewhere throughout the
land has discouraged a national uni
versity at the capital of the nation.
The Washington Memorial Institution
has now been created on a much broad
er basis than Washington contemplat-
ed. 1t will supplement or crown the
work of all the colleges and UNIVERSE
ties in scientific research, by furnishing
their graduates facilities in study which
they do not have. 1t will put at the
disposal' of students the vast amount of
material which the Government accu-
mulates at an enormous annual outlay.
Graduates of the academic schools,
upon examination, will be employed by
the Government in scientific research,
and these persons will meet the grow
ing demand from all parts of the coun-
try for thoroughly equipped teachers.
The President or the United States.
the Chief Justice, the heads Of Depart
ments the Congressional librarian, and
ether high officials constitute the
Board of Visitors, and the Board of Di-
rectors is composed of the most efficient
presidents of colleges and universities.
/ Dr. Gilman, who has recently retired
i from the presidency of Johns Hopkins
! University, is the rector OF the insti-
| tuition. He enters on a new field Of
usefulness of which he never dreamed
in his youth. The Memorial Institution
will grant no degrees but will leave the
comforting of honors to the institutions
from which the students graduate. The
most practical feature OF the plan is
that the students will, in general, pay
their own way by doing Government
work.
This remarkable institution is far In
advance of any educational system
ever established in any country for the
advancement of science. Behind it i:

On the Board of Directors are tive
