Why, didn't you hear about the fire
at Roosevelt? No? Why, yes, there
was very d. astrous fire there that
swept through the business portion
Of the town, destroying the bank
and many OF the most important
buildings. The two upper stories of
the hotel we're burned but the two
lower stories were saved by the for
tunate accumulation Of snow slide
which surrounded them and was util-

Testimony on Equal Suffrage.


Progress, the official paper OF the
National American Womans Suf-
frage association, publishes the fol-
lowing under the caption, Idaho
Testimony"
Testimony to the good effects of
equal suffrage is given by the COVER
nor of Idaho, the chief justice, and
other prominent men and women.
Governor Hunt writes:
cit gives me pleasure to say
briefly that the extension OF fran
chise to the women Of Idaho has
positively purifitd it's politics. 1t
has compelled not only state conven-
Iions, but more particularly county
conventions, OF both parties, TO Sc
lect the cleanest and best material
for public Office Many conventions
in this state have turned down their
strongest local politicians for the
simple reason that their D,oral habits
were such that the women would
unite against them, regardless of
politics 1t has also taken politics
out of the saloon to great extent,
and has elevated it, especially l"cal
politics, to higher plane. Every
woman Is interested IN good govern
ment, in good officers, in the utmost
economy of administration and low
rate Of taxation"
S. H. Hays, ex-attorney- general,
wrote: "In response to your request
for my views on woman suffrage as
applied to this state, | will say that
it has been in operation for over four
years, and there have been no alarm
ing symptoms or disastrous results
! think most people In the state,
looking over the past objections to
the extension Of the right of suffrage,
are now somewhat surprised that any
objections we're ever made.
"As to advantages-.it is, as in all
matters Of this kind, difficult to
measure them exactly, because the
benefit is largely indirect. think,
however. that it has exercised q
good and considerable influence over
conventions, resulting in the nomi-
nation of better men for Office, and
that it has been of considerable
weight in securing the enactment Of
good laws f"

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-05-02

A friend of the late Thomas Dunn
English explains that the authors well
known dislike for "Ben Bolt" was not
because it had attracted so much more
attention than his larger and more Sc
rious works,-a grievance which has
led manypoets, nOvelists and composers
to loathe the things by which they are
best known-but because it was gar
bled in setting it to music and newt
ably passed into the popular literary
currency in this garbled form, in which
the author once said, it was robbed of
most of its poetry A change which
specially eXasperated him was the pru-
dish cutting out Of the lines
And the shaded nook in the running
brook,
Where the children went TO swim.
1t was feared, so it seems ('this, all
this, was in the olden time long ago'O
that "some young ladies might object
to singing it in their parlors!" Prudery
could go no further, but then poetry
might easily go some distance further,
and the elimination Of the lines is not
a crushing blow to American literature.

FOR A WORTHY EXHIBIT

The auguries seem auspcious for
worthy representation of Hawaii at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition to be
held in st. Louis in 1908, or more prob
ably in 1904. The subject has been
taken up here in time-though there is
not too much tme-to get ready such
an exhibit of resources, progress, in
dustries and conditions as will give
correct, and so far as exhibits can,
complete notions of what we have and
are. The meeting yesterday afternoon
at the capitol showed that the substau-
tial interests of the community are in
terested. The committee appointed
consists of men who do things, who ac-
cOmplsh results men of affairs. The
three organized bodies, to which the
territory looks with the confidence
born Of experience, for action and re-
suits, the Chamber of Commerce the
Merchants Association and the Plant
ers' Association are Interested The
newer organization, the Builders and
Traders Exchange which as yet has
had no opportunity to prove itself in
large matters of public concern has
given hint through voice and action of
its membership that it is interested
and can be expected to work. The
sentiment which has long been strong
ly felt but not potently exerted,
against the grass hut and hula hula
caricature of Hawaii has become crys-
talized into set determination, We
have become consciously proud of our
American citizenship and American
territorial status, and imbued with that
real Americahism, an instinct and as
riration for progress and material and
moral advancement.
What more suspicious conditions and
circumstances could combine to give
impetus and. promise to a movement
for a worthy representation at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition which
will come fully within President Nc
Kinleys definition of what an EXPOSE
ton is, a "time-keeper of progress"
Under what more suspicious circum-
stances and into what more favorable
and hopeful condition could Commits
-sioner-General Barrett come to present
the subject of worthy exhibit?
A proper beginning has been made.
The work is in good hands There now
remains but earnest, insistent, persist
ent, steadfast endeayor to give Hawaii
the representation among the exhibit

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.

The satisfactory revenue returns in
England are interpreted TO mean a
satisfactory condition of trade, and
this is doing something to cheer up
British public sentiment, which has
been greatly depressed over the contin-
nation of the South African war and
the severe competition of this country
and Germany. But with this slight en-
cOuragement there is the unfavorable
news that British dealers in coronation
souvenirs are ordering buttons bearing
the likenesses of the king and queen in
this country 1t came to light some
time ago that German manufacturers
were delivering coronation souvenirs
in England and now it turns out that
not only the hated words Made in
Germany" but the almost equally
painful inscription, MADE in the Unit
ed States, ." will be borne on medals
and buttons struck to commemorate
the coronation of Edward VII. The
manufacture in Birmingham of idols
for the heather always struck English
men as a good deal of joke, but there
is nothing funny about American and
German tokens of an English corona
tion for English wear.
