stances we can hardly given human
nature credit for.
These thoughts occur when we con-
slider the untimely death of Police
officer Wilbur He was only twenty
nine years of age. He was active,
bright, intelligent, and could look for
ward to a long and honorable career.
A hack came tearing down the street.
At the speed it was going he might
have looked on and said let the next
man try it, what is the use of my risk
ing my life? But he did nothino of
the kind. He sprang forward. hun~ on
to the horse, was dashed against a
telephone post, and, as it has proved,
was fatally injured. The runaway was
stopped however, and the chance of
collision against other carriages on the
street was prevented. Most probably
other lives were saved by young wul-
bur's sacrifice.
1t is proper to note an act of this
kind. Men are constantly called upon
to act quickly and to call UP their
resources of bravery, and they very
seldom fail when so called upon. Bray
cry is by no means so rare as many
people think. Nor is bravery confined
to the fighting man. 1t is found in
the ordinary citizen and i'm the police
officer as readily as it is found in the
soldier or the man of wars man.
There is probably more courage re-
quired to do ones duty at the risk of
ones life in a busy street where people
are going about their ordinary bust
ness, buying and selling and gossiping,
than it does to take the same risk with
cheering comrades around one. Thus
one cannot but regard the deed of Off
Ger Wilbur as an heroic one, though it
only consisted in stopping a runaway
hack. Upon his tomb may be inscrib-
ed DUTY done, at the expense of a
young life" No better epitaph can be
put on the grave of the greatest of
men.

The position in China seems as mud
died and ruined as ever. The indem-
nifty demanded is considered by all who
have any cognizance of Chinese finance
to be quite out of the power of China
to pay. How she will meet even a mod
flied indemnity is problematical The
finances are pretty well mortgaged al
ready for many indemnities of the past.
OF course there is always the alterna-
tive Of yielding territory in place Of
coin. But this would rouse as great a
difficulty as ever Once it came to a
partition Of territory, the jealousy Of
each individual power would be arous-
ed, and there would likely enough be a
serious outbreak among themselves.
Different nations uniting in a struggle
together rarely continue long united.
This was the story of the Crusades,
wher the strongest incentive known TO
mankind, similar religious belief and
fervor, urged the nations to stick to-
gether but in spite of all national
Jealousies became paramount, over
topped religious fervor and the Cru
sades utterly collapsed.

There has always has been a great
belief here in the efficacy of petitions.
The average American statesman
knows that petitions are of little or no
value. The only thing that is Of value
is the vote at the polls. A petition can
be signed by all sorts Of irresponsible
parties. Children can be asked to sign.
and as we know, do sign. Whole
strings Of names can be and are written
IN by the same hand. The petition
against Governor Dole is likely to be
treated in somewhat the same fashion
as the celebrated anti-annexation petit
ton of some years ago, was treated by
Congress.

Rapid Transit seems to be coming
within sight at last. A considerable
amount of track is laid, the cars have
arrived, and the power will soon be in
order. Once it starts Pains cars will
be at considerable discount. If the
Rapid Transit people give quick trans
port, keep their cars clean, and insist
on clVility among the employees the Ha-
Waiian tramways company will not
have very much to do, and the London
dividends will fall off.

The return of Murphy to the Islands

The establishment of a special lir,
between Samoa and these Islands has
been talked of by Mr.. Kunst, who
bought Nailima the residence of Rob
ert Louis Stevenson when he was in
Samoa. One hardly sees how such a
project will pay but Mr.. Kunst is a
shreWd man of business who accum-
ulated a colossal fortune by trade in
Siberia, and he probably knows what
he is about. Anyway he can well af-
ford to make mercantile experiments.

The rise in the price of meat will
come hardly upon the housekeeper of
moderate means. Honolulu was al
ways an expensive place, but it is more
so than ever now. The cos, of living
has increased quite twenty-five per cent
during the last few years. To those
who are wealthy this does not matter,
but to those who earn salaries of
moderate size it is a very serious thing
indeed.

DUTY DONE.

Even in this age, and in such an
apparently prosaic life as that of a
police officer there can come a touch
of chiyalry which must go home to the
hearts of all of us and make us think
better of our own race than we are
apt to do. Humanity after all is not
half so bad as the pessimist is apt to
think that it is. There is a devotion
to duty which in ordinary circum-

The lurid story which appeared in one
of the Buffalo papers about tribe of

and swim out to the ocean steamers to

ment of read attractions the coming sea-
son. They have now in preparation for
early fall presentation a number of plays,
and have engaged for their interpretation
many important artists.
The first offering will be THE Gay Mr.
Goldstein," a comedy portraying the hum
orous side of the Hebrew character, but
not of the exaggerated type that the pub
lie has been surfeited with of late in
farce and vaudeville. Manager Greenwail

Hampton, Mr.. Thomas j. Keogh and Mr..
George G. Boniface, Jr., who will be sup
ported by a select company. THE Gay
Mr. Goldstein'' viii open in New Orleans
on Sept. 5. and will also play in Savan-
nah early in the season.
The success achieved by the war play,

ISLE OF HOPE CAR SERVICE.
A Patron of the Line Wants Better
Accom- mOdatiOns.


Editor Morning News: There Is no ques-
ton that the electric car service to Isle
of Hope is the best there has ever been
to that place, but the railroad authorities
do not seem to appreciate the fact that
the travel there, especially on Sunday at
ternoon, has increased immensely. and
that the car service does not meet pres
ent demands. have been down there
several Sundays of late, and on each &C.
casion 1t has been impossible to take the
people away on the late cars.
At z p. m. the half-hour schedule stops,
and there is no car until 5 o'clock, so that
those who can't get on the O'Clock cars
have to wait an hour, 1. e., until p. m.
With a heavy train, this means to those
who come in by that car nearly p. m.
before they get home 1t seems to me
there should be more cars and more
trains late in the afternoon. As 1t has
been of late, many people forego the
pleasure OF going to Isle OF Hope on Sum
days, because of the lack of proper facili-
ties for getting there and back.
The management should give this mat
ter Its attention. 1t will be money in the
treasury of the company to give good and
ample car accommodations. Most of the
patrons OF the outside lines are people
who ride for pleasure. and the better the
accommodations, the more rides they
take ]. o. n.

CARR ACTING ORDINARY,
Commissioners VIII Probably Name

name
KeiIbach for Ad Interim Term.
The death of Judge Thomas Screven
leaves the office of Ordinary vacant and
until his successor is named, for the ad
interim term, Clerk ]. K. p. Carr of the
Superior Court will act as Ordinary The
July meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners will be held Thursday.
Chairman Dale said last night that a
successor will probably be named at that
time.
Commissioner Dale said that while he
had not conferred with the other commits
sioners on the subject, he hardly thought
that a special meeting would be called
to name some one to fiji the office, I'M
til the people can elect a successor. He
had not yet given the matter any con-
sideration and was unable to express him.
self on the subject of calling an election
for the Office.
Mr.. Frank E. Keibach. who has been
in the Office for quite number of years,
will in all likelihood be named by the
commissioners for the ad interim term.
Mr.. KeMbach was Ordinary between the
death of Judge Ferrill and the election of
Maj. Screven, and was a prospective can
didate for the office He decided, however,
to form combination with Mai. Screven,
and this was done. Mr.. Keilbach is gen.
orally looked upon as the natural sue
cessor TO Judge Screven, and ne will prob
ably run for the Office, when an election
is called by the commissioners.
1t is not thought that the County Com
missioners will consider the question of
calling an election at its meeting Thurs :
day, and Chairman Dale gave the impress
sion last night that he is not in favor of
hurrying about the matter. AS the chair
man of the County Board understands the
law an election will have to be called, but
there is no specified time in which this
must be done.
During the afternoon the politicians
who are always ready to discussa vacan-
cy in the municipal or county govern
ment began calling over prospective can
didates, but with the exception of Mr.
Keilbach no man was conferred upon. 1t
appears that all fractional lines are hope
lessly broken, and it is extremely doubt
full if the heelers could be lined up in
three months, if indeed they could be
gotten together at all. 1t is believed
on the streets that the influence of the
Good Government League will be felt in
a contest and that an election before the
people will be quite different from those
held in recent years.

It is probable that the board will con-
