The health of King Edward continues
to be an object of concern. His pictures
do not signify well man and the re-
ports of cancer draw the public mind to
physical tendencies which developed
among his ancestors and nearer rela-
tives and which have caused many
deaths in the Royal family and its con-
nections Even if the King had inherit
ed the staunchest physique his really
arduous life as Prince of Wales must
have undermined it. No man can live
in a continuous round of feasting and
social toll with onerous public duties
added and reach the age of sixty with
his health unimpaired. A life like that
would cripple better constitution than
that of which any prince, descended
from the four Georges, has shown him
self possessed.

LADIES DISCUSS
CURRENT EVENTS

Current events were the subjects Of
discussion which furnished an enjoy
able evening for the dozen ladies who
gathered at the Y. W. C. A. rooms last
evening This is one of the many fea-
lures of the work of the association,
and there was much ENTHUSIASM shown
in the taking hold of the matter.
Mrs. Arthur Maxson Smith was in
charge of the evenings discussions and
, suggested many subjects which formed
topics for the general talk. The range
was wide, from European politics TO
fires and centipedes, but the larger
questions took up most of the time, and
aroused much genuine interest. Mrs
Smith directed attention first to the
Russo-French alliance and the prob
able first results of the visit to France
of the Car. Social and economic con-
ditions in Italy were brought under the
investigating eyes of the ladies, and
then the browning of Franz Josef as
King of Bohemia, the first recognition
of the nationality since 1920, occupied
attention, leading to comment on the
liberal victory in Denmark.
The Central America squabble be-
tween Venezuela and Colombia, and
the Monroe doctrine, mixed up together,
was a theme which caused much dis
cussion, and this consideration Of
American matters led naturally to the
latest phases of the Chinese question.
| Not to permit the political side of the
evening to control, there was a talk
upon the late books by Mrs MARI, who
led this phase of the evenings talk.
Mrs Mari is a Smith College graduate.
! Those present We're: Mrs. H. c. Aus
tin Mrs. Hobson, Miss Clarke, Mrs. w.
G. Smith, Miss Schoield, Mrs. Mari,
Miss Girvin, Mrs. Edgar Wood, Miss
Parmalee, Miss owens and Mrs. A. NJ.

Sixto Lopez, who is nearing Manila,
may not know how eagerly grounds for
his arrest. We're sought when he was
talking sedition in Honolulu One mid
night a meeting occurred in the Adj
vertiser Office attended by Major Robin
son, U. S. A, and the late U. S. Mar
shall Ray, at which the original draft of
Lopez letter to this Journal was closely
scanned for expressions which would
warrant summary action. District At
torney Baird was visited at later hour
and he decided that Lopez could not be
held. The Filipino had come very close
indeed to the line but he had not quite
stepped over 1t.

The circus has come to town and is
giving the people needed relaxation. In
Honolulu there are not arnusements
enough and for the want of them bust
ness men find it hard to keep clerks
and artisans. Young men and women
come, stay awhile and then hurry back
to the coast where there is something
doing. It is deadly dull here for
strangers, especially as regards the lack
of theaters, hence the packed houses
at the circus and the hope that one may
be the forerunner of others.

The Womans Christian Temperance
Union reports a year of hard work and
of more or less disappointment. The
number of saloons has visibly increas-
ed, but this, in the opinion of some of
the members, may be the means OF
stirring up the community to reform.
The Union has certainly done it's part
in al ousing public opinion as the list
of it's speakers and of it's meetings for
the year attests.
