The question, of the election OF
school uperintendents by the people,
of late has been receiving the atten'
ton of the Press of the State and we
concur in the sentiment generally ex-
pressed, that the people should be
accorded that privilege. That they
are the best judges of their qualifica-
tions and fitness, of course, goes with
out saying, and that they have too
much at stake to want or vote for
anyone to serve them in that capa-
city, but the best men, should be be-
yond all question. The Board which
now elects must depend upon the
iudgm ent of others and there can be
no reason why the whole people can
not decide the matter better, than the
few upon whom the Board has had
to1ely in the past in making their
selections for the important position.

Obituary,

Passed from labor and entered into
rest February 22d, 1901, at her home
near Justisville, Mrs. Margaret 8.
Annis, wife of Frank ]. Annis and
daughter Of Julius r. Twiford and
Annie bis wife, in the 47th year OF
her age. She was good wife, kind
and devoted mother and will be great
ly missed not only by her immediate
family but by large circle OF rela-
tives and acquaintance. A husband
and five children, two SONS and three
daughters Mrs. Lena Justice, Mrs.
Lizzie Justis, John T., Jessie F., and
BERTHE s. Annis, survive her, and a
host of relatives and friends to mourn
their loss. But we feel that our loss is
her eternal gain. She possessed many
excellent traits OF character and was
thought much of In the community.
After funeral services conducted by
Rev. l.. B. Kirby at Crowson M. E..
Church, her remains were laid to rest
in the family burying ground near
that place.
Only just across the river,
Is the mother / loved 30 well,
Clad in pure and spotless garments,
That is whittier than the snow,
She has braved cold Jordan's pillows
And has passed through deaths
alarms,
She is free from every sorrow,
In the Savior's loving arms,
No, at death she didn't falter,
For her Savior led the way,
And she reached the golden portals
Just about the break of day,
Mother dear, we trust to meet you
In the bright celestial morn.
Our mother now has gone to rest,
Beneath the tree OF life,
She leans upon the Savior's breast.
So free from pain and strife,
Our mothers troubles now are past,
Her pain disturbs no more,
But Jesus in his arms at last,
Bore her to the heavenly shore.
Farewell, dear mother, thou art at
rest,
And shall forever be,
You could not stay on earth with us,
But we can come to thee.
We miss thee from our home dear,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine Of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
In loving remembrance of mother
by her husband and children.

TO PREVENT QUARANTINE

DR.. Golfer. the quarantine officer of
the port, has suggested plan for Civ
ing health certificates to vessels leay-
ing this port which will demolish
the false rumors now being circulated
on the mainland about plague in Ho-
nolulu. As stated by The Republican
this is and has been free from plague.
There were some alleged cases here
eighteen months ago but many. very
many. people do not believe any of
them were real bubonic plague. How
ever. false rumors are apparently out
on the mainland and rumors Of this
kind oftimes do much more harm
than the truth. DR.. Cofer proposes TO
keep all vessels calling at Honolulu
six feet from the wharfs while here,
and TO inspect all departing passen-
gers and crew. giving a certificate as
TO the health OF the departing pas
sengers. Those in the steerage will
have their baggage disinfected and
the same treatment will be given dun
mage of crews, information of which
will be stated in the certificate. BY
adopting this method. which the shin
ping agents all heartily agree to
pratique can be given to all outward
bound vessels which will prevent their
delay or quarantine. because OF false
rumors. at any other port
