MEMORIAL DAY.
BY THOMAS COG SWELL JR., GTLMANroN,
n. II,

most respectfully dedicate this
poem to the memory of those dear sold
Iors, both living and deceased, who So
bravely fought that the Union might bo
saved. That We of this latter genera
Jion fully appreciate those noble deeds
| feel sure.
Memorial Day! God bless it!
What tender. loving care
Is shown by these old comrades
To their brothers sleeping there!
What memories of battles,
What thoughts surge through their
brain
AS they place the wreathes of ivy
Above those graves again!
How often in the struggle
For freedom ana for right
Those men now sleeping yonder
So yaliantly did ight
How quick they shouldcred musket
And plunged into the line
OF fighting Surging demons,
Is told in words sublime!
And these, our worthy townsmen,
Are gathered here to-day
To honor by their presence,
Those comrades passed away.
With oyes all blurred with sadness,
With voices hushed and low,
They celebrate those battles
They fought SO long ago.
They whisper to their neighbor
AS though they feared to wake
The slum Der of those soldiers
Who fell for Freedoms sake,
They listen to the music
OF bugle, fife and drum
With hearts all wildly beating,
And thoughts which seem to come
And picture in their bosoms
Those scenes of war and strife,
Which won for us ''Old Glory"
At cost OF human life.
They sc again the cannon
They hear again the cheer;
They see the line of battle
From out the woods appear.
They Jump once moro the ditches;
They rush far up the hill;
They see the sickly pallor
OF comrades dead and still.
They see again tho campfire
When night has stopped the strife
They hear those songs of Freedom,
OF duty, home and wife.
An, many are the pictures
Each comrado sees to-day;
All, many are the tear-drops
lie turns to wipe away
And now, since years have vanished
Since Lee and all his mon
Lad down their arms and promised
To never fight again,
We gather here in sadness
And help to decorate
The graves Of those old comrades
Who died for Freedoms sake.
And year by year Well gather,
And to our children say,
THAT wreath and flag out yondCr
Waves for both Blue and Gray"

county which held elections Thurs.

Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth

made to acting Circuit Judge Lynch,

and ordering them to allow every

had the Injunction dissolved on the
gr ound that he had no jurisdiction
to grant such an injunction or issue
restraining orders as he was only act

Judge Lynch then dissolved the the
injunction on this ground but at the
same time advised the election com

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
He Had His Ere sh Air, Ali Right.

A Philadelphia who has just re-
turned from a brief business trip to
Germany tells an amusing story re-
garding the experiences of a fellow
American on a German train. He was
locked in a stuffy little compartment
with three officers of the German
army, who smoked such atrocious to-
bacco that the American, for the SIM
pie purpose of preservation. was
finally forced to open a window. A
concentrated grunt and a concentrat
ed glare from the officers greeted this
action, for the night was cold, and
the Germans do not, as a rule, care
for fresh air. No request, not even a
command, came from them, but one
arose majestically, stalked to the WIN
dow and shut it down without look
ing at the audacious American. The
American opened the window again,
with the suave, wen-pleased smile or
d man who is about to bestoW some
benefaction upon humanity. The off,
GERS stared and glared at him more
fixed1y than ever. They were unaccus-
toned to such INSTRUMENTATION toward
one of their guild on the part OF a
mere civilian. Then he of majestic
strut again arose and brought the
window down with a bang which
threatened to break the glass. He
looked at the American this time, and
plainly dared him to reopen it. The
American showed no sign of being
ruffled as he placidly raised the sash,
and continued to read his novel with
undated zest. The German said
something which the American did not
understand shut the window and stood
beside it. The American looked sweet
ly at the closed sash and calmly
pushed his elbow through the glass,
beating the window into fragments.
and again turned to his novel. He
was very calm, but there was a CLEAN
in his eyes that the Germans did not
like. The latter returned to his place,
and for the next fifteen minutes there
was an antiphonal chorus from the
three officers, of double pointed, dou-
ble-twisted German oaths. The Am
erican read his novel with undisturb-
ed serenity.

THE TANTALUS INCIDENT.

The House took up the quest ton OF
the Tantalus forest yesterday IN a way
that did it credit. For a wonder 1t did
not abase itself before the Federal
fetch and whisper The King can do
NO wrong" but instead of that stood uI
for the right of the Territory with zeal
and self-respect. The sight was re-
freshing one, and it must raise the
House in popular esteem.
There has grown up a habit in GER
tain quarters to crook the back in deep
humility and put dust on the head
whenever a newly commissioned Fed
eral official, fresh from Pottawottamie
or Kalamazoo or MoOSelamaguntic,
deignS to inform the people OF the Ter
ritory what he proposes to do to them.
1t is customary to hear a bleat of
adulation from the vealy Bulle-
tin whenever a Federal official lands on
the dock. Back in the States, where
most of our white peop,e came from,
no particular awe ever attaches to
Federal officials, least of all to those
who are sent to the distant Territories
because men at Washington are tired
of their opportunities for a job at
home. In that level-heajed country an
official, Federal or otherwise, is judged
by his merits and not by his commits
sion. If he knows his business and car
ries 1t on with propriety he IS re-
spected; If not he is criticised Or COM
planned of. That is the American way,
and it is a good enough way for Ha-
wall
One of the laughable incidents OF the
present controversy-bot laughable
and pathetic-is the belly-crawling of
the Bulletin to the feet of the director
of the Experiment Station to assure him
of public confidence in the idea that the
Department of Agriculture can never
make a mistake. We imagine Mr..
Smiths sheer at the silly compliment.
If the statement had any truth it
would be high time to take the word
experiment" out Of the agricultural
work and substitute that of fulfill
ment." Nobody knows better than Mr..
Smith how many failures his depart
ment has scored, and that such failures,
In purely experimental work are
bound to happen. We presume that he,
being man of sense, also acknowledges
the right of Territorial criticism in
matters like the clearing of fifteen acres
of forester were there but twelve?-
to provide farm of exhausted soil for
experiments that might better have
been conducted on good land
elsewhere in the island. That is
the main point made by men like ex-
Governor Cleghorn and Professor
Koebele, who know more about the
conditions Of agriculture in Oahu than
do all hands in the Department of Agri-
culture put together.
Az the case stands tbp Yncition M
the island experts that, If Tantalus is
the only proper site for Government
farm. a small tract should have been
tried before a large one was devastated,
is perfectly sound. 1t is not insuppos-
able that Mr.. Smith, who Is acting I'M
der orders from an omniscient chief
living 5000 miles northeast of here,
may think 80 himself.

Brigade and is composed of the older
girls of the Sixth Ward schools of AL

company is the proud possessor of a.

electric blue Tam O'Shanter cap with
tan ostrich feather, a red Elton jack
ct with gold braid, a white skirt and

Says Little Men Are Better Fighters

A surgeon of the British army who
has had much experience in passing
recruits argues for little men for fight
ing purposes, believing that the idea
is old and obsolete that a man can
not be a good and efficient soldier I'M
less he measures a certain number Of
feet and inches in height. In modern
warfare, where the issue of every fight
is usually decided at a distance stat
ure counts for little, and is rather d
disadvantage than otherwise. This off,
Ger suggests the reducing to
minimum of five feet the standard
height of all recruits for mounted in
fantry and light cavalry.
