THE CHOICE or LAND LAWS.

Those who are urging Federal con-
troll of Hawaiian public lands as
means of bringing American settlers
here do not include the Commission
which framed the Organic Act, the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office or many OF the Senator'S and
Representatives who have given the
subject thought.
Under the Federal Jaw the available
land would be thrown wide open TO
everybody. and people already here
whether farmers or not, could obtain
large tracts subject to mild conditions
1t would be possible for big land-Own-
ers to stake out dummies and get the
best of the public domain for grazing
or speculative purposes. Even the
Chinese here who have qualified as
American citizens could help them
selves; and under such circumstances
the bulk of the vacant land would pass
into hands which are neither agricul-
turaI nor American in the sense pro-
posed by the advocates of Federal con-
troll.
The Hawaiian law under which the
wahiawa colony was organized can be
used TO establish typical American
colonies here. 1t is the only law ex-
tant that will answer that purpose.
The trouble with it lies in the admins
tration OF the local land office, not in
the law itself Instead of setting aside
arabic tracts so that men could go from
here and organize mainland colonies to
occupy them, the Land Commissioner
has usually peopIed the public domain
with associations of spectators who
make no effort TO do farming. That is
why only about three per cent of the
Settlement Associations now holding
down land about Olaa are genuine.
Given a Commissioner who really
wants to bring in white settlers and |
who does not regard Americans as for |
eigners, and white settlers will be |
plenty enough here. They want to |
come now but all the encouragement |
they get is a circular saying that coffee
Is the only crop for the small farmer
and that at present it does not pay.

1t Is possible that Admiral Terry was
meant instead of Admiral Merry when
the Associated Press announced the
coming OF a flag officer here. Homo
lulu orders to Terry. who is command
ant of the Washington Navy Yard,
have now teen issued; and nothing
more has been heard of Merry. 1t can
hardly be that the Department will
keep two Rear Admirals here They
might get in each others way or cause
the island OF Oahu to tip. Besides.
Merry is an officer on the retired list
and it would be unusual, 20 say the
least, to give him a billet like Homo
lula by preference to an officer on the
active list.

The Frazier-Logan book on Hawaii
which has been issued with legislative
aid as an advertisement for the Ter
ritory. is a beautiful volume of III
pages exclusive of those which, in the
first edition. are given up TO. trade an
nouncements. That the information
about Hawaii is accurate may be
judged from the fact that Daniel Logan
prepared it. The volume is a veritable
cyclopaedia of things Hawaiian and
is charmingly and profusely illustrated.

The Legislature, on occasion, rises to
great heights. The only argument we
have heard for the $4,000 Pahoa pur-
chase is that lot of people have got
their money in Kaimuki and can't get
1t out unless the taxpayers put up
$4,000 for their $4,000 water plant. To
the average Hawaiian legislator or the
average legislator whose friends are in
the Kaimuki deal, this argument seems
to be conclusive. 1t matters nothing
that Nuuanu valley, where the Gov
eminent owns a reservoir site, could
supply all the water the town and its
suburbs needs and do it without pump
ing; it matters less that the Pahoa
plant is immensely overvalued at
$4,000; all the majority seems to think
of is the good the money would do to
boom investors who plunged too deeply.
IL the Legislature goes to the limit in
thus Pahoa matter it ought to go fur
Their and buy something for the benefit
OF all who have lost money in boom
real estate, sugar stocks. theater en-
terprises. lodging houses, etc. There
are enough of them.

OF the 65.OOO,OOO gallons of mineral

as there is in health foods.

SPARKS GETS RESPITE
NEGRO MURDERER WILL HAvI
 A PREPARING.
Sentenced to Be Hanged in August For Killing Jack Ingersoll But Supreme Court Will Reopen
 His Case.

The shadow of the galiows was yester- day lifted from Charles Sparks, the ne gro murderer of Lee County, who was to have been executed next Friday.
 Sparks was granted g longer lease on his life by the action of the Supreme Court of Alabama in withdrawing the cer. tthcate of the aff1rmance of the lower court. previously Issued. The certificate of affirmance was withdrawn at the earn est request of Sparks's attorney. well known Montgomery lawyer. to give him an opportunity of arguing the case on a rehearing. The rehearing cannot be had until the Court convenes in November. Sparks, therefore. has until December to live.
 It was said yesterday by an offcer of the Supreme Court that the withdrawal of the certificate did not augur either for or against the guilt of the defendant. It simply suspended the execution of the sentence that the attorney might be heard on the question of rehearing.
 A strong legal fight has been made for Sparks. His case has been before the Supreme Court for nearly two years. The decision of the lower court was affirmed several weeks ago and Sparks was or- dered by the court to be hanged August [.
 Sparks was a well known negro school teacher of Girard. He became infatuated with Lucy Ingersoll, the wife of Jack In- gersoll. prominent and well to do negro of that city. Ingersoll was brutally mur- dered one night as he sat at his table. The assassin stood in the darkness and killed Tngersoli with shot gun.
 The evidence against Sparks was very strong. Lucy Ingersoli is said to have confessed that she helped him kill her husband. It is said she testified that she passed her husbands gun out of the win dow to Sparks few minutes before the fatal shot was fired.
 Sparks Is in the Lee County jail al Opelika.

Using one's Leisure.
Hamilton WI


 Hamilton Wright Mabie, in the August Success.
 There are some men and women whose work is so heavy and expressing that they have no leisure; but such people are rela- lively few in number, and are, as a rule, at the head of great enterprises. Prac- tically all young men and women have some hours from work which need not be devoted to exercise and sleep-two things which ought never to be overlooked or neglected. These unoccupied hours are of priceless worth If they are wisely used. They determine the value of the working hours because they educate a man to use and enjoy what the working hours bring him, for a mans ability to enjoy success depends on his intelligence, his tasks and the variety of his interests. Many of the most successful business men have so many interests, outside of their busi- ness, that they can always give them selves the rest of a change of occupation, and can get pleasure and profit out of any form of leisure. They understand that, in order to use wealth with judg- ment, and to get satisfaction and happi- ness out of 1t, a man must grow rich in mind as fast as he grows rich in pocket. One of the most substantially success full m@1 of the time recently said that in his boyhood he revolted against poverty, ElOL DCCdu6e IL Q6IIleu n1In lne luNuTIeS life. but because it curtailed his freedom, and he resolved that he would gain free dom at all costs. Having an unusually clear mind, this boy decided to get an ed- ucation first, and become rich afterwards; he went through college and then made fortune. His extraordinary influence and usefulness are largely due to the fact that he has kept his inward growth in line with his outward advancement.
 On the other hand, there are few more pathetic spectacles than a man who has grown rich and remained ignorant. Every increase of his wealth only makes his inward poverty more apparent, and he gets out of his fortune only his housing. his clothing, his food, and a small sense of power.
 Now, it is the use of the leisure hour that equips a man to use wisely what the working hours bring him. The working hours develop his character, if his prin- ciples are good. while they increase his fortune. but they do not give him broad views of life. knowledge, and love of the best things. These are the gifts and fruits of the leisure hours, for the leisure hours constitute mans educational opportunity. No man who has a few hours every week which can be used as he pleases should remain uneducated. Education Is not a matter of schools. colleges, and universi- ties; these are valuable instruments and aids to education. but they are not so essential that the man who cannot com mand their privileges needs remain uned- ucated. Some men are better educatd out of college than in it. All highly edu- cated men, no matter how liberal their opportunities may have been, are self-ed- ucated. The school and the college teach men how to study and what tools to use, but. when they have done with the school and the college, they are only at the be- ginning of education.

AN OLD IDEA
shown to Be Absolutely False b
 Modern Science.

People used to think that badness was one of those things which are handed down from generation to generation, from father to son-just like family heirloom.
 Science has shown the falseness of this belief by proving that badness itself is not a constitutional disease. but the result of a germ invasion of which only Herpi- eide can effectually rid the scalp.
 Washing only cleans the scalp of Dan- druff, it doesn't kill the germs.
