GIRVlN WANTS
TIE GORE SITE

Editor Advertiser In the multiple
ity of counsel there is wisdom, and the
advocating by many of their views as
to the, to them ideal site for the post
office will not tend to confuse. but on
the contrary will crystalline public
opinion. There is no doubt but under
the circumstances attending the annex
alton of Hawaii the great common
wealth of which Hawaii has become
par viii endeavor to erect such pile
as win be an elaborate monument and
the nations of the world will see that
Uncle Sam is not only just but gen
erous
A postoffice on the crossroads in
some back county in one Of the States
is one thing. A postoftice on the cross
roads of the Pacific, where the mer-
camille fleets and navies of the world
are passing is quite another In con-
templating the grandeur of the expect
ed structure it forcibly strikes the
dreamer that without forgetting the
utility of the building as a postoffice
and general federal office that it should
be placed on such site that its ornate
periphery would strike all beholders as
being in keeping with the beautiful city
of Honolulu. If We add to this its
being in propinquity with the beautiful
edifices which the old Hawaiian gov
eminent erected, and which have al
ways been admired by travellers. and
being in the center of the city as well.
we then have it on an ideal site. With
the handsome Kawaiahao church. that
monument, at once of American mis-
sionary influence and of free donations
of Hawaiian labor which its structure
represents; with the noble Judiciary
building and Survey office; with the
Executive building and it's palatia1
grounds IN propinquity it certainly must
strike an unprecedented citizen that the
block surrounded by King, Alakea,
Merchant, and Richards streets. and
fronting on Union Square is a particu-
larly appropriate site for this great
monument of United States justice and
liberality
In such a position it would be a grand
addition to this assemblage of noble
lean government will not attempt to
erect structure there which would by
its cheapness detract from the sur
roundings. We can imagine Uncle
Sam looking with pride on the structure
which he has erected, with its four IA
cadeS, the whole square.
With it's four stories, the lower of
which is surrounded with porphyry pill
lars standing upon plinths of native
stone, and each opening being a work
of art, who could desire a more appro-
pirate site in Honolulu than the one
advocate. Why imagine bugbear in
the difficulty and expense of securing
the title to the site. Will coming gen.
erations, when looking at the noble
structure, forget our generosity in pro-
yiding> the site? It behooves us there
fore that we use good judgment in Sc
Letting an eligible site and which will
be as near the center of the city in a
generation from now as we can prog
nosticate it will be, having the past his
tory Of the city to judge from.
May we live to see it there erected.

WHAT IS A COUGH?

A spasmodic effort to expel the mucus
from the bronchial tubes. A cold causes
a more abundant secretion of mucus,
and when the lungs and bronchial
tubes are infiamed, they are extremely
sensitive to the irritation. Unless care
is taken, the cold may result in pneu-
nonia, which is swift and deadly. If
the cold is lingering one, the more
leisurely but equally fatal consumption
may set in. Do not neglect a cold or
cough. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t always cures and cures
quickly. Benson, Smith & Co., Ltd,
wholesale agents, sell it.

Appendicitis may be traced back to
the Egyptians under the Pharaohs if
the conclusions of NJ. Lannelongue are
to be accepted. 1t was long confused
with various intestinal. kidney and 9TH
er diseases, and hospital statistics indi-
cate that cases of appendicitis are no
more numerous than when they passed
as acute peritonitis of unknown origin.
The disease is due to microbes from
various sources. One investigator has
found intestinal worms in thirty-five
Per cent of the cases examined. and it
is suggested that the worms introduced
the germs on their bodies.

TAX MATTERS
Wrong Impression as to At
tornpy'S Opinion.

It Is said that some people have gained
the impression that Cltv Attorney John
r. Dillon had decided that there was no
wav to enforce the collection Of taxes.
This impression comes from the fact that
Mr.. Dillon holdsl that taxes are not a Hen
on property taxed and that property can
not be, sold under the provisions Of the
ordinance on the subject as passed by the
cltv council. But this impression Is not
altogether correct. Mr. Dillon held In his
written opinion that the CITY having
authority TO levy taxes granted Il by con-
gress without having a manner OF eollee-
ton specified Il followed that the taxes
could only be collected as other debts arc
collected, by civil suit. When this Is
done nd the CITY has once secured judg-
msnt this can be collected from the pro-
perv Of the person against whom iudg-
m.nt has been rendered. A Judgment
rendered for taxes unpaid can be collected
lust the slme as my other Judgment.

progress in her study and her auditors

were of good character
Monday evening Mrs. Stemen and

by an appreciatiye audience when they

called for nearly as m-ay. Miss Nc.
