The CASE OF CAYPLESS.

The attempt TO make II appear that
the Advertiser "gloated" over the per-
sonaI defeat OF Mr.. Caypless for third
Judge is not justified by any sentiment
OF approval with which this paper took
the news OF Mr.. RobinsOn's success.
nor by any other circumstance. Mr..
Caypless would make a good judge. and
IL he should, as a candidate standing on
his merits. get the post of Humphreys.
who. we are told, has found himself
compelled 20 change his mind and send
on his much-desired resignation. well
and good. The personal difference be-
tween him and the present incumbent
would make his appointment not un-
acceptable 10 every honest man and
fair-deaIing attorney.
There is. however. n general signifi-
canoe in the causes OF Air. Caypless
defeat which must not be overlooked.
1t has established the fact that the
President IS not disposed to consult
Delegate Wilcox. nor Harold NJ. Sewall
nor any person who represents either in
matters OF Hawaiian patronage. II Is
this finality over which the people who
have most at stake In Hawaii feel sat
isfaction- They know that, in the pro-
portion by which Wilcox and SewaIl are
ignored at Washlngtortin matters af-
fecting good government here. the bet
ter for Hawaii as a whole. SO Tar.
neither man has made a favorable i'm
preston At the White House The
Aguinaldo affair cooked VFflcox's goose
with President Roosevelt. and as for
Sewall. his machine politics are not
those which find favor with the former
chief OF the Civil Service Commission.
II IL a pity that SO good a man as
Ar- Caypless should have gone into the
1udgeship fight hampered by the sup
port Of Wilcox and Sewall. for It is to
that he may lay bis troubles. If he in
tends to seek the coming vacancy he
would do well q discard both and rest
his case on his personal merits and the
support OF his influential friends, here

INDIAN gSCHooLS.

The annual report of the Superintend-
ent OF Indian Schools has been submit
ted TO the Commissioner of Indian At
fairs. Judging from the Associated
Press Bulletin. which we quote. it is an
interesting document showing what the
government is doing for the practical
education and advancement OF its
wards. and embraces ideas CLEANED
from personal observation in the field,
together with the views of various SUI
perintendents, Indian workers and
prominent educators throughout the
United States. The general superin-
tendent has outlined a uniform course
of study for the students of the Indian
schools. and makes a strong argument
for education along practical lines.
which will improve the Indians mode
of life. In this connection the subject
OF agriculture is taken up. embracing
dairyinS and other branches OF farm
study. as we'll as domestic science for
the girls. Speaking of agriculture, the
superintendent says:
mo occupation will so soon dispoS-
sess the Indian of his nomadic instincts
and fix upon him permsnency OF habi
tation as agriculture. Filling OF the
soil will necessarily oblige him TO re-
main IN one spot, and the performing
VI CEI TAIN hGAltS dN DItDcI AliIlGS VI NiiG
year will instll into him the necessity
for systematic work and for giving at
tention to details To make any real
progress the Indian must have home,
wherein Will center all his interests,
hopes and ambitions, and a home on
farm will best fiji these requirements.
AS there is no field in which he can so
readily contribute to his own support,
he should not only be encouraged. but
urged to cease leasing his allotment. 10
cultivate more acres. raise better crops
and live the thrifty. Independent life
that falls 10 the lot OF tillerS OF the
soil"
Miss Reel points out that the Indian
owns his land and should be taught
/ to farm it himself in preference TO his
old-tlme custom OF renting to his in
dustrlous white neighbors. and himself
/ living I'm idleness. This idea instilled
into the Red Man Will be long step to-
ward actual reform. Attention is called
/ to the fact that the first government
appropriation in 1919 was but $4,000.
while during the past year the sum OF
81. $50 was expended for Indian
schools. and that the total number OF
pupils enrolled was nearly $4,000. The
\ superintendent points to the benefits
resulting from the introduction of the
outing system, and suggests systematic
methods of selecting pupils for school
attendance calculated to reduce to the
lowest possible degree evils which have
heretofore existed.
a gratifying feature OF Indian edu-
cation, as indicated by the report. Is the
rapid growth of Industrial training
methods in the Indian schools. Practi-
cal industrial traininr. with elementary
literary studies applicable to industrial
work. should maxi tro Indian a useful
citizens. and this IS the aim OF the In
dian school service under its present
management.

AN OBJECT LESSON. ayl

The kind of good government HaWaii
would GET from the anti-DOie eierne-it )
SHOWN in the financial exhibit OF the
courts presided over By the two men,
Humphreys and Gear. VINO have been
lelGest IN the demand for "a change
that would put them and their friends
IN control Of all branches Of re Ter
r.tsriaI administration and OF city and
county affairs.
Think OF It. Tie Legislative appro-
pristi,n for the conduct Of al the courts
during the biennial period-Supreme
Court and the FIVE Circuit COurts-was
$500. For 1898 and 1899 the apprepria-
ton was s33. 900 and an unused balance
OF S6IS6.33 was turned back into the
treasury. Now, the Hawaiian Judiciary,
in the short space OF five months has
drawn and spent over $4,000, TWO
THIRDS OF WHICH WENT OUT ON
THE ORDER OF JUDGES HUMPH-
REFS AND GEAR
The obvious cause Of this eXtrava-
gance Is political. For the sake OF get-
ting another open route 10 the treasury
OF the people, the taE-eaters and job
chasers want an extra session OF the
Legislature. Humphreys and Gear are

In the opinion Of the plotters the cas-
lest way to get the Legislature to-

All sorts of devices have been tried TO
compel outlay and the First Clrcul-
bench has succeeded in bringing It's
own appropriation TO the danger limit
Let the waste go on and in few
months more the courts will have to
stop business for lack OF money. What
then? Why a chorus OF appeals for an
extra session follows. and, in case the
governor refuses to call the predatory
legislative mob together. a demand Wa.
be heard at Washington that he be re-

CLIMATIC CHANGES

John Britt. an old sea captain. who has
sailed the Pacific for thirty years or
more. has advanced what seems to be a
plausible explanation for the increasing
mildness OF the climate OF the Northwest
Last winter was one of the mildest ever
known In Montana and other portions OF
the Northwest from here 70 the coast
The weather In Montana remains almost
as baimy as spring. Some portions OF
the State have had snow. but the region
surrounding Helena has had none.
4 friend of Captain Bri;t's in this city
now recalls the captains prediction,
made about two years ago, when he re-
turned from n voyage. At that time this
old man. who has grown weather-wise
through long years of struggle with the
elements, gave a positive predc elton that
henceforth a mild and equable winter
season would prevail from the coast
many leagues inland. His reason for this
was that the Japan current had deviated
from its course as the result OF a mighty
earthquake, and that its warm waters
We're flowing nearer to the American
coast.
1T is a matter OF common knowledge"
said Captain Britt that the japan cur
rent has from time immemorial exerc,a-
ed a powerful influence on the Pacific
| Coast, giving to Washington and Oregon
peculiarly mild and salubrious climate.
The earthquake disturbed hundreds of
ihles OF the moor of the ocean, material
~ altering its conformation. At the time
OF its occurrence. vast tidal waves were
thrown upon eastern coasts and did great
damage, This occurred in 1859
1t was known a that time although
1t did not seem to occasion Erea, com
ment among scienuuc men. that the
course Of the Japan current had been
changed. But it did seem of Importance
to me, and figured it out for myself
that the climate of the NO-tbu-se. ,,,o,,r5
be made miIder. Last winter bore ont
my prediction. and the coming season
bids fair to follow suit"-Montana Ex-
