Vermont is very fortunate to have so
able and efficient a man as w. E. Ranger
at the head of her educational system.
He is continuing the great work begun
by his predecessor, Mason S. Stone.
Some time since the commissioner of
education in Porto Rico asked for copies
of the school registers of different states.
a Vermont register was forwarded.
Last week Supt. Ranger was notified by
a letter from Assistant Commissioner
Lord, that the Vermont Register had
been adopted in Porto Rico. This regis
ter, which has recently been revised by
our State superintendent. is now regarded
as the best in any State in the union.

\ good agricultural fair is good
thing for any town or county, says am
exchange, and the farmers should all
take an active interest in it. 1t is this
interest that helps, with good manage
ment, to make the fair a success. Each
farmer living in this county should see
to it that their best specimens of crops
are exhibited at the coming Addison
county fair at Middlebury, September /,
., 3 and 4, and not only the crops should
be prominent but the live stock. Much
good can be derived from these exhibits.
Don't kick the fair directors, but every
one take an active part early and the
coming fair will be the banner one in the
history of the association.

Justice David j. Brewer of the United
States Supreme court well says that
every man who takes part in lynching
is a murderer" This is the cold truth
and no amount of argument or logic can
change it. 1t is true, as he says that,
''There may be extenuating circum-
stances" but these can never excuse
lynching. If the officers and courts
would deal out justice swift and sure,
there would be less "extenuating circum-
stances" and less lynching bees. It's the
laws delays that create. the "extenuat-
ing circumstances" when coupled with
certain nameless crimes that strike at
the foundations of life, liberty and
happiness.

him, another as capable springs up to

OIL FUEL.
rrhe oficial and Commercial Record.I


The substitution of crude oil as fuel,
in place of coal, in Hawaiilis proving
an unqualified success. On Maui the
Haiku, Paia, Hawaiian Commercial and
Kihei plantations are using oil. On this
island Kahuku, Waialua, Oahu and Ho-
nolulu are using it and Eva will be in
a few weeks. In this city the Young
Building is burning oil, and at the be-
ginning of this week the Rapid Transit
Company converted all of it's furnaces
into oil burners. So far as reported,
the change is working satisfactorily on
all of the plantations, with a uniform
reduction in cost of approximately 3026.
In addition to the saving in dollars,
oil fuel has three distinct advantages
over coal. First, it requires much less
labor to handle it. This is a serious
consideration on the plantations, where
every labor saving device and process
should be fostered, as a means of meet
ing the demand for labor. Any ma
chine, device or process which enables
one man to do the work of two. even
though its operation costs as much as
the two men do, is a distinct advance,
as it reduces the requirements for Ia
particular work. This is an important
consideration now. and it may in the
future prove most vital
Second, it is a clean fuel. Instead of
& grimy. dusty and disagreeabIe spot,
such as the regulation coal firing room
is, where oil fuel is in use, the fire room
becomes a show place, as clean as a
parlor, while the one fireman wears a
billed shirt" and a standing collar, if
his tastes run that way.
Third. it is smokelees. Not compare
lively so. but absolutely smokeless. If
it is proof positive that there is some
defect in the burner used, or in the
arrangement of the furnace. An in
spection of the Rapid Transit furnace
and smoke stack will demonstrate this,
fact to any one who desires to prove
1T.
This last named advantage is of
great Importance in Honolulu. With
only soft coal available, even the few
fuel using concerns in town were be-
coming serious nuisance to all in their
immediate neighborhood. A few more
years of Development would have
made us small Pittsburg, so far as
the smoke nuisance is concerned. No
smoke producer in Honolulu can here
after plead that he cannot prevent it.
With cheapness, economy of labor,
cleanliness and abolition of smoke in its
favor. there does not seem to be any
reason why oil should not, at an early
date, entirely supersede coal in Hawaii,
as power producing fuel.
It's early adoption here is evidence of
the progressive spirit of our people and
their ability to keep step with the age.

well-paid and well-fed, have so worked
upon the sympathies of home friends
that the latter are collecting funds to
bring the enslaved ones back. The
work, it seems, of getting the passage
money, has been entrusted to children,
or ''cherubs, as the Spaniards call
them, but we feel at liberty to presume
that when the youngsters gather
enough worth having, it will be taken
over by the noble band of phiIanthro-
pists who now urge on their work.
Porto Ricans Americanize fast and they
cannot be obIivious to what is known
as the Charitable graft"
As to the Slaves a recent inquiry
has shown that they are so much bet

as to make it unlikely that they would
go back to Porto Rico if they had a
chance. even at the solicitation of "a
legion of cherubs conveyed in rays of
light through the regions of the Pa
cific." There are. however, some of the

vail viii ship back if the cherubs will
send on the funds and the courts per
nit They are the people who have
quietly shuffied on their bondage after
the manner Of slaves in these parts and
have come to Honolulu from the plan
tations to prey upon the inhabitants
The sooner these go back the better for
all coneerned-except Porto Rico's
honest citizens.
But we have no hopes. The task OF
raising money enough to carry 1000 peo-
pie 5000 miles or even 500 people 1000
miles is likely to prove too burdensome

PUBLICITY FOR CRIME.

Quite often Of late the Advertiser has
heard in a roundabout way Of bur-
plaries in Honolulu OF which its police
reporters could get no clue at the sta
ton house. Last Saturday night for
example. a BereIania street cottage, not
far from Thomas Square, was entered
in the early evening and some valuable
ieweIry stolen. A robbery of servants
quarters on Nuuanu street was made
during a recent evening. Scarcely a
week passes without bringing news Of
some burglarious depreciation which,
out of Difference to the wishes Of the
police, the victims viii say little Of
to the press. 1t is not likely that the
papers hear of more than half these
affairs; it is probable that, despite a
contrary impression, burglary in Homo
lulu IS very common indeed.
The scheme of keeping such things
dark rests upon the idea that pub
licfty would defeat the ends Of justice.
But to our mind publicity would work
Just the other way. If a thief has
valuable bit of plumber the less it is ad-
vertised the better he is suited. He can
then dispose of it the more easily. He
is less likely to be detected by his
neighbors or sold out by men of his
own class Let a fine gold. watch be
seen on the person of doubtful char
acter and If the fact that a gold watch
has lately been stolen is known TO the
public, one has no trouble in arriving at
conclusions. 1t may be said that pub
Lefty must put the thief on his guard;
but he Is on his guard already and
can keep there If he only has stray
detective to contend with. He would
find it harder to stay ON guard against
the whole public including those on
whom he might wish to work off his
plumber.
We say 1t deliberateIy-ten criminals
are captured through publicity to. one
who is captured by detective skill.
Since the press became universal the
world has no nook nor corner where
the guilty can hide himself and say
that he IS safe"
seeing now Siiisi4 - tHe AoiiDSI

Lefty for an or nearly all grave Of
fences, in which the Offenders are at
large, be a good thing? Would it not
result in more arrests? At least would
1t not dispel the faneied security Of the
town and by putting people on the alert
make crime more dificult?

sisal prices, like those of every other
AGRICULTURAL commodity, are affected by
politics. The four worst years sisal
ever had were, those of Cleveland and
tariff reform" True, the tariff does
not directly apply TO sisal. but when
Cleveland checked manufacturing in
dustry in the United States sisal and its
products suffered with other things.
Even the Cleveland campaign brought
down the price, which reached mini
mum of $3.50 in 1894, $50 in 1895, $50 in
1896, $3.50 in 1897. The minimum price
in the last four years was s85 in 1900
s1O7.5O in 1901, $155 in 1902 and $3.50 in
1903. The maximum price was last
