FIGHT OVER TRANSPORTS.

The fight which is raging at the Cap
ital over the proposed withdrawal OF
the government from the transporta-
ton service, will have more than )ne
effect upon the public mind. Il it is
pushed. There are being uncovered f1g-
ures in connection with the service, by
those who wish to show how much II
has cost, which will leave the impress
sion that there has been too great lax
ity in management. In their zeal 10
show that the cost of the service is SO
great that private corporation could
handle the business and make money
cut of il for less than the government
has done the work, the officials of the
war office promise to run into criti-
cism which will be all the harder for
them to bear.
That there will be a hard fight
against the cutting off of the service is
as certain as that there will be other
cities than San Francisco which will be
in the bidding for the concession. Seat
tie and Portland must be reckoned with
in any discussion of the future of Pa
cific Coast shipping. Already there are
rumors that the northern cities have
the capital and the push to get into the
field for this trade, and if the present
service is retired it is almost an even
chance that the service will leave san
Francisco through hook or crook with
IN a year. When Hill and Lamont get
after something that they want they
usually get it, and there promises to be
no change in this instance.
Another thing which must not be
lost to sight in this matter, is the fact
that many of the vessels purchased b.
the government for it's transport serv-
ice were under foreign flags when they
were brought in. and they have not yet
been given American register. Until
this is done the ships could not engage
in coasting trade, and in the matter of
a sale their price would be at least %
per cent below what it would be if they
had the papers from this country.
Even the power of Secretary Root
would not be sufficient to have passed
bills granting such papers to these for
eign built ships. Congress is very jca;-
Gus of its pre-ogatives and would be
likely to resent any attempt of the eX-
ecutive departments to buy outside
ships and then give them register
through pressure upon party members.
Altogether it would appear that the
service will not be cut off just yet.

The French spolation claims have
been before Congress since the begin
ming of the nipeteenth century. The
McGarrahan land claim dates back for
ty years There are a group of indi-
vidual claims older than the genera
tion now pressing them. Even the
States are not yet able to get back the
money they advanced for war ex-
penses in 1861. On the whole, it seems
sad. IL Queen Liliuokalani really means

she can possess no great grandchild to
keep the claim going until pay day.

CHILDREN WERE

The Salvation Army had several big
meetings yesterday. including two Of
Gcers' councils, wherein plans for the

were presented
Last evening the barracks were
crowded when the auction sale of chill

tracing a big crowd and the moral Of
the same is brought out in full fopce
by those in charge.
On the platform were twelve children
dressed in white. The auctioneer call
ed for bidders and half a dozen came
forward The first bidder was one who
bid pleasure for the child. He would
give his purchase pleasure in the world.
The next bidder was a woman dressed
in the height of fashion, who bid fash
ion. The next bidder was Education,
then came Wealth, and Fame, and last
Of all Christianity. The latter present.
ed arguments of forceful character to
obtain the children. The bid was so
well presented that the auctioneer, aft
er weighing all the others, gave the lit
tie ones over to Christianity.
Tomorrow evening the big anniver-
sary celebration will be held at the Y
M. G. A. The meeting will be replete
with interesting reports of the growth
OF the Army work in Hawaii during the
past eight years.

the attention of High Sheriff Brown to
the repeated violations of the wide tire
Jaw. Drayage companies and many
of the business firms in the city have
wagons with tires much less than the
width required by law. The roads are
cut up fearfully by the narrow tires on
heavily loaded wagons. Mr.. Cooper
says: Marrow tires and heavy loads
are road destroyers. while wide tires
are road makers" The law is to be
enforced vigorously hereafter.

be a pack horse, dray team, a ditch

a special policeman, a detective
bureau, a dog chaser, sidewalk hxer,
a COW finder, a thief catcher, a busi-
ness maker, a city pusher, a house sell

hunter, council regulator, fraud dis
coyerer, panic preventer, obituary
preacher, chief taffy pourer at wed

mascot, fish liar, big egg prevaricator,
snake story expander, judge on earliest
gardens, business boomer. husband
finder, sweetheart securer, school IN
spector and general all-round handy
man for the community. In fact, II
there is a single thing Of Importance
to human life aDd human happiness
that doesn't 60 through the newspaper
it has never yet been discovered. 1t
touches every feature Of human en-
deavor from the cradle to the grave.
1t smiles with those who smile and
weeps with those who mourn. 1t is
everywhere all the time the most busy,
the most useful Of all public agencies.
1t makes mistakes. All human agen-
cies do. Sometimes it is dishon-
est. But it stands out SO in the glare
Of the arc light of publicity that it
can but half succeed if diShonest-and
then only for brief time. The above,
from the Adrian Telegram comes
pretty close to being truth, too. But
then the public reads the papers and
never takes time to think Of such
things.
