BERETANIA.

Of the multitudes of people
around US very few are really
in good health. Most of them
are victims to greater or less
extent of some disease. For
time nature holds her own, of
$ ten with youth and ambition to
help her; then the overtaxed or
gans break down, and the poi
sonous germs in the blood and
tissues get in their deadly work.
This may happen suddenly or
slowly, but the result is the
same. The number of people
who are thus afflicted and hand
icapped is far beyond computa-
ton or estimate. In perhaps q
majority of these cases the all
ment arises from bad digestion,
and is thereafter complicated
with some form of dyspepsia:
The ordinary treatment is sell

CoNTRoI. OF SCHOOLS

OF the many criticisms of the County
Law which have been made and which
come from Home Rule circles with
peated as that against the continued
control of the school system in the
hands of Territorial officials and under
the management of one primary set of
officers. Yet IL would appear that of all
the objections this one is the least i'm
portant and should appeal least to the
thinking man.
1t is the boast of Hawaiians that the
percentage of ilIiteracy in our Territory
is lower than in the old commemorative,
been brought about by uniformity of
school work, by constant attention to
lifting the grade of school work and
by the most critical following of the
methods of the educators of the United
States. Is there one of the critics of
the proposal to continue this system
who Will argue that local school boards
would maintain this high standard?
The evil which has grown in the
school system of the older communities
is the growth of giving places in the
schools through favoritism rather than
for fitness. In the SHINY peopled coun-
try districts of the United States there
is more often considered, the needs CT
some young woman or her family, than
the necessity for the upbuilding of the
schools where young citizens are
grounded. The system under which
has developed the excellent conditions
obtaining at the present time is good
and should discourage excursions into
the realm of experiment.

Palace. would be only one step short OF
Dissertation. The palace, home of King
and Queen, is one of the most pictured
! buildings in the islands. Perhaps not a
| single tourist who has carried a kodak
here or who purchased pictures but took
away a view of the palace. And 10
think of running the simple beauty of
snowy wings. The man who conceived
the plan may be expected to paint in
structions to tourists on Punchbowl,
install an elevator at the Pail and put
cheaply to run a railroad to Kilauea.
One excuse for it I could find. If the
name Of the proponent Of the brilliant
idea was to be attached to replace the
beautiful native name.
AS to the necessity for the wings, it
does not appear to any one but the
people who are at the public crib. The
so-ealIed Judiciary building was erected
for the purpose of a legislative hall

and legal offices except the Supreme
Court, and no better use possibly could
be found than TO place the legislature
there. The Territory needs not TO sup
ply the county with buildings, that is
a county function. True the land might
be given but what more suitable place
could be found for a city hall than the |
vacant lot at Merchant and Bethel, or |
even the old postoffice.
If Hawaii is to have a second birth in /
tourist entertaining then let US preserve
good things and old things, and make
the new impressive and not patch
work. 1t would be hard to imagine
more anonymously preposterous sug
gestion, in my mind, than the hanging
Of wings onto the big building which
attracts the attention of every visitor,
when the cost will be as great as to
build a new structure increasing the
beauties of the city.

ion.

NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Elaborate plans for additions to TIT
Executive Building have been called fol
by the Superintendent of Public works
and In yesterdays Advertiser the ele'
vatfons and ground plans were publish
ed. The plans call for two wings te
the present building. Each wing, 1t Is
estimated, will cost 5000. 900. The state
nent is made that provision Of room
fer the Legislature and for the pros
pectivs County Government is what is
sought
60 far as the Advertiser is informed,
there Is not sufficient demand to war
rant this expenditure at present
In the near future we shall be pro-
vided with a Federal building, which
viii leave vacant the six large rooms
now occupied by the United States
Court, District Attorney and Marshal
in the court house the Internal Rev
snue office in the Executive Building
and the entire postoffice.
Our Legislature sits but sixty to
ninety days, once in two years. 1t GER
tainly would seem to be extravagantI
and unnecessary to spend 100000 for a
legislative hall, when the present quar-
ters. If not entirely suitable, are ample
in size.
There is nothing in the occasional use
of the present Representative Hall, for
official receptions, which need cause any
inconvenience, as there are but few such
functions.
The Senate can be given all the nee
essary additional room required in the
Bungalow without materially interior
ing with the other uses to which 1t is
put, and the present postoffice will pro-
vide ample room for county offices fer
a long time to come.
The two buildings which are needed
Immediately and imperatively, are, first,
a small but absolutely fire proof one,
for the court and real estate records
which are now in destructible quarters.
These records involve the title to mil
lions of dollars worth of property, and
their loss would throw our whole land
and probate system into complete con-
fusion.
The second requirement is a new
building for the Royal School. Sincel

PUBLIC UTILITY CORPORATIONS.

One of the most vital subjects TO be
dealt with by the coming legislature.
is that of public corporations who use.
or want to use our streets.
The electric light company's fran
chise expires this spring. 1t is now
paying two and one-hah per cent OF
it's gross receipts to the government for
the privilege of running its wires
through the streets, and for the exclu-
sive privilege of selling electric light
Is this exclusive privilege to be con-
tinued? Is the company to be allowed
to continue without payment to the
government? Are other companies to
be allowed to multiply wires on our al
ready crowded streets7 If so shall the
number be limited, or shall We grant
the privilege to every one who asks it?
The same questions apply to tele-
phone companies and to underground
gas pipes All these propositions are
coming before the legislature, and de-
cisions must be made and bills passed
such decisions within a six
ty-day session.
Can any solution be devised and, en-
acted into law with fairness to the pub
lie and to the companies interested, if
one half of the available time of the !
legislature is to be taken up in the
of everything that takes
place from Hawaiian into English, and
yice versa?
