THE JOY OF THE

touse is the baby. No matter how
many have come before, the latest
arrival brings JOY to all.
When the little one taxes his first
glimpse CT the world, he is in, it is a
minute OF keenest joy.
Father is proud, mother is cd,
brother is eager. sisters are tender,
nurse is devoted; the whole human
world is kind.
There is another, an under, world
with enemies in it.
When baby gets into its shadows, be
quick with SCOTS emulsion Of cod
liver oil--he is sure to get into its
shadow; LET him get no further than
Into the edge of it. Health is the
baby's life.

Sun Set Board Walk on Fire

Chicago, ILL.,. July 22.-The entire
Middle West is in for another day OF
record-breaking heat. Early reports
from the larger valley points indicate
that yesterdays heat will be equalleI.
There is every prospect here Of the
mercury going notch or two higher
than it did yesterday, when it jumped
to 1O3, breaking all local records and
and causing fifteen prostrations, three
resulting fatally.
While only meagre crop reports
have been received from the corn
growing sections, there is little doubs
in the minds of the crop sharps that
Yesterdays heat, combined with what
is coming to-day, will play havoc.
No rain is reported anywhere in The
corn belt. 1t was 20 hot here yeste =
day ttat the board-walks were set
afre by the suns rays, and rails on
elevated railroad expanded lifting the
Ties nearly six inches out OF the bed.

A "REMINISCENCES.

Ample and full respect will be shown
TO the memory of the late President by
services and exercises through out the
city. and later throughout the group.
The dead President was a true friend OF
Hawaii, and outside of political reasons
he had personal feeling. His brother
Dave" Mckinley was American consul
here for a considerable length of time
and soon after the expiration of his
term he was appointed by the Hawaiian
Government, Hawaiian consul in San
Francisco, which position he held until
his death.
The late President was much attach
ed to his brother and when he was men,
toned to him by an Hawaiian year or
so ago, spoke very feelingly of him. He
said that to that brother he owed his
present position as President, for David
went west and worked hard, and sent
back money which enabled him to con-
tinue his education when otherwise he
would have had to give it up.
Dave" was a rough diamond true
product of the West, but he had the
kindest heart in the world. His purse
was never as large as that great big
heart. He had the most profound belief
in his brother, and often would say to
his intimate friends MY brother Will
liam will be President of the United
States some day, mark my words"
Poor fellow he did not live to see the
realization of his hopes but one can be
sure that he died in the full conviction
that those hopes would be realized. His
daughter, now married, wa named Ida
after Mrs. Mckinley
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-09-26

Signs of mourning are to be seen all
over the city. Our people are SYM
pathetic and ever ready to show res
pect. In the case of the late President
cur people We're especially attached to
him and regarded him as the true friend
of Hawaii, which he certainly was To
him was due, more than to any other
man, perhaps, that the islands became
ain integral part of the United States
and were saved from possible Asiatic
domination.

THAT WATER SCHEME.

In a matter of such vast importance
as the Kohala water scheme, which is
doubtless going to have vital influence
upon the fortunes of those living in the
area of supply, it is incumbent that
those who safeguard tn. pvblic in this
matter should be thoroughly acquainted
with whom they are lea!lng. 1t is a
very serious thing to tie up Il public
right, and then find out, when it is too
late that a mistake has been made.
On the face of it the Kohala water
scheme, as many another scheme put
forward, seems a good Que. But it is
very evident that the promoters think
that they can make considerable money
out of it. They certainly are not pro-
noting the scheme for philanthrapic
reasons. If they can make money out
of il, why should not the Territory itself
make money out of it. Why should the
profit go else where why should it act
stay right here.
The Star pointed out the other day
what was being done by the Egyptian
government under almost exactly SIM
liar circumstances. The Irrigation of
the Nile valley upon scientific princi-
pals will add largely to the productive
ness of the fertile land. and TO tle
steady growth of the crops. The work
is being done by the state and not by a
private company. In year or 50 the
Territory of Hawaii may be in a con-
dition to take up this work, no one can
will no hA
other hand, no one can state positively
that it will not.
There would be a great deal more
confidence in the public mind if it was
known what capital is behind the
~scheme. There may be ample capital
behind it, but why should it hide itself.
a statement Of what capital was avail
able at once, would disarm very great
deal of criticism. Hawaii in common
with many another State, Territory or
municipality has given franchises away
which she has regretted and has thus
blocked the. path of progress, by finding
that the holders of the franchise sim
ply were it hawking around. The Star
does not claim that this will be the
case in the Kohala water scheme, but
on the other hand there is nothing to
show that it may not.
Naturally in the present situation of
the scheme there are various rumors as
TO who is behind the proposal, and the
unfortunate tendency of the rumors has
been towards men of straw, or men that
the public can have no confidence in
when dealing with so large an outlay
If the public could be satisfied as to the
incorrectness of these wild rumorS II
would tend very much to the advantage
of the scheme. Why there should be
such secrecy about those who are at the
back of the ostensible promoters is by
no means clear. AS was said in the
Star of Monday, and can be repeated
today, come from cover.

SOME LIGHT.


The condition of affairs in South
Africa is certainly deplorable, and the
division of families and relatives is as
sharp and as Sal as it was in the days
of the North and South, or as it was in
the times of the cavaliers and round
heads. Whatever side one may take
up from reason or prejudice, there is
always sympathy to be given to the
opponent. Reason and justice may
make man heart and soul a federalist,
but one cannot help feeling a deep
sympathy for the gallantry and even
the wrong medicines of the South.
The cause of Cromwell was the cause
of liberty, and it's triumph brought UNI
told blessings to England, but the
chivalry Of those. who fought for the
royal cause can never be forgotten, and
appeals to even those who firmly be-
Iieve in the principles that the parlia-
mentry party fought for.
In South Africa the case seems the

The strikes remain undecided. Every
here and there in the papers appear
paragraphs about the possibility of
there being a compromise, but only tc
be contradicted in the next issue. Both
parties are determined to wear the
other out. The strike in San Francisco
which affects our interests and our COM
fort shows no signs of breaking down,
though the employers are beginning to
handle their goods with greater ease
The feeling of the state farmers is very
strong against the strike and will tel
seriously against the labor party at the
election.
