UNAFFECTED BY HAWAIIAN ELECTIONS
There are some supposedly intel.
ligent white people in Hilo who labor
under the impression that if the
Republican party is defeated in Nov
ember President Roosevelt will re-
move Governor Dole. Such thought
might find refuge in the brain of an
imbecile, but it should never be har-
bored in the brain cells of men who
know Just how many beans make
five. Hawaii, being a Territory. has
no votes in the electoral college;
therefore, President Roosevelt is no
more affected by the elections in Ha-
wall than he would be by the cleo
lions in Turkey if they held such
things in that part of the world. The
President has endorsed the admins
tration of Governor Dole and he Is
not the man to stultify himself. The
only thing that will remove Dole will
be the recent defalcations by-officials
and clerks in the departments in Ho.

sufficient warrant for the President
to take such radical step.-Hawaii

FUTILITY OF LOCAL OPTION.

vital objection to local option is
that, in such a question, affecting
as it does the personal habits of the
Individual, there prevails universal
fringed upon by the arbitrary will of
a majority. Even those who are
thoroughly law-abiding feel natural
repugnance to such statutes, as they
invade province they. have ever
regarded as sacred to liberty. There
is nothing inherent in the will of a
popular majority that makes their
dictates officially right. The MAORI
ty may make certain course law
full, but they can not stamp it with
the sacred sanction of right so as to
affect the conscience of the minori-
ty. These feel that the majority
have might, not right, on their side
The election has by no means settled
the matter. 1t has only been a
count of noses and a majority of said
noses has been on the one side. Next
year it may be decided otherwise,
and so the merry war goes on year
after year, The minority will never
submit. Ii 1t consist of prohibitions
lists they DO not accept the will of
the majority any more than those in
favor of license. These latter, how
ever, are in the worse position, as
they are restrained in personal
act, while the local optionists, in
case they are in minority, have
merely failed in their attempt to pre-
vent their neighbors from doing what
they wanted. Local optionists seek
to Cypress those in favor of personal
liberty, while the latter merely seek
to retain their privileges. The posi-
tion of local option is not tenable
with the proper exercise of personal
freedom, but is arbitrary and oppres-
sive.-Mirror.
THE INTELLIGENT AND THE IGNORANT
The political fight which is on this
fall, with the intelligent Hawaiians
arrayed on one side the ignorant and
misled Hawaiians on the other,
and the alleged democratic
party running a semi-independent
ticket, is burdened with more serious
consequences than can briefly be
stated. The positive ills which would
result from a complete home rule |
victory are not mere shadows but |
are an actual menace to our future |
and everyone who has
the actual good of the Islands at
heart should support Prince Klhio |
and the republican representative |
ticket on Maui.-Maui News.

Largely through the efforts of the Pan
American committee. of which Mrs. Aaron
Morley Wilcox is president. which has
been established in this city for some
time past with headquarters at the Ar
lington Hotel, the formation of an inter-
national archaeological commission was
urged at the late international American
conference at Mexico. The result was
that among the important resolutions
passed by the conference was the follow
ing:
The Second International American
Conference recommends to the republics
here represented that an merican in
ternational archaeological commission
be formed through the appointment, by
the President of each OF the American
republics, of one or more members OF
such commission; that each government
represented shall defray the expenses of
its commissioner or commissioners; that
such commissioners shall be appointed
for five years, and that they shall be
subject to reappointment; that appro-
priations for the expenses incidental to
the archaeological commission shall be
made by the respective governments
subscribing on the same basis as that

for the purpose, and besides making up
beds and keeping the room tidy lessons
were given in attending a patient, what
to do in case of accidents, and many
other useful ideas.
A janitor is. of course, employed at
the Greenieaf, but his duties have been
greatly lessened by the pupils keeping
the building in order themselves. Wis.,
itors often remarked the neat appear
ance of the rooms and Railways, and
were surprised TO know the children
themselves were responsible for this
condition.
6 The recess period at GTeenleaf is a
revelation. the old theory Being that it
was a necessary evil in the public
schools. but here the children look for
ward to the half hour in the playground
during work hours with joyful aDticipa-
tion. The yards have been equipped at
great expense and labor. but it is worth
it to see how thoroughly it is enjoyed.
No boisterous, rough play, the strong
depressing the weak, but all share alike
in the pleasures, dividing the time
equally between them. A most pleas
ant feature is the evenings when the
parents and children meet there and en-
joy the pleasures together. Swings.
hammocks. see-saws. and sand piles are
for the little ones, while splendid ap-
paratus. combining bars. rings, ladders,
trapeze, etc, and chutes and toboggan
slides afford amusement and physical
training for the older ones.

ed the teachers efforts, and some beau
tiful work was turned out.
Quite the most interesting clasG, how
ever, was a cooking class. composed of
boys who were initiated into the nys-
terious culinary art by a most proficient
teacher, and some very toothsorne dishes
were prepared by them. OF coarse, this
department was for the education o: the
girls, ard many a good hOusekeeper will

cakes from the cooking class went beg

them. Under the energetic work of the
teacher in this division. many girls can
at least trim and make their own hats.
Too few young ladies nowadays
know anything about sewing, but at
Greenleaf the tale is different, ior a
large class was taught all kinds of
plain and fancy sewing.
Paper flowers and other beautiful or

quite adept in shaping coiored paper
