TO
LAY OUT COURSE

Members of the Hawaii Yacht Club
Regatta Committee go down to Pearl
Harbor this afternoon to arrange the
course and stake out buoys for fhe
regatta on September G. Commodore
Macfarlane and T. w. Hebron will also
use the commodores launch in moving
the necessary paraphernalia for the
chowder from the Puuloa club house 10
the new home at the Peninsula where
Port Captain Ward will take charge.
The course will be entirely altered ior
the small boats, the trip being short
ened and lybing allowed. They will
round the same buoys as the first class
boats but the latter will round marks
and go over the course twice as usual
One of the buoys, that hitherto plac-
ed off Axis, will be placed nearer the
head of the Peninsula though still on
the wndward side. This Will give a
beat from this mark to McGrew's a
, point of sailing not formerly negotia-
| BILE on the Peninsula course.
Diagrams of the courses to be sailed
will be published in the Advertiser OF
Saturday morning together with the
descriptions according to the announce
| ment of the seasons schedule. The
regatta committee will also turn in the
course and diagrams to Commodore
Macfarlane and shippers are ordered to
report to him aboard the La Paloma

will be full moon.

SUPERVISORS AND POLICE.

One of the pressing reasons why we
should have n good Board of Super
visors, Is to secure useful police force
something Hawaii is far from having
at the present time
Section so of Chapter XII of the
County Act provides as follows:
The Sheriff may, with the approval
of the Board, appoint IN each District
as many policemen as shall be necas-
sary. The powers and duties of such
policemen shall be as now provided by
law for policemen; and their COM
pensation shall be fixed by the Board
of Supervisors.
This puts the chief responsibility FOR
the police in the hands of the Super
visors. only with their approval may
policemen be enrolled and they need
not accept any in whom they or the
public have no confidence. Further
more they hold the purse. They can
fix the wage-rate and put it high
enough, if they please, to get good
men for the force And Heaven knows
that good men-men of ordinary cour-
age, intelligence and honesty-are
badly needed there.

THE WORLDS NEGRO ISSUE.

The Kansas City Journal has reached
the conclusion that negroes are inc
same everywhere. Wherever the ne
gro lives the race problem presents
identical aspects and they are of KIND
To make IL a matter of satisfaction mere
that the planters soon parted company
with their plan to fill the island labor
market with African material.
The large immigration of Europeans
to Africa during recent years, says the
journal has, occasioned a situation
which shows that the depravities OF
the civilized negroes are merely the
manifestation of the innate vicious
weaknesses of their aboriginal breth-
rem in the jungles. An exchange from
South Africa states that a regular cpl
demic of assaults by natives upon
white women is in progress. rms OF
Tense has been punished there by whlp-
ping, and by imprisonment from SIX
months to two years. But this pun
ishment has not acted with deterrent
effect so the white citizens have been
holding Indignation meetings for the
purpose of protesting to the govern
ment against the mildness and tnefh-
cacy of the penalty, and to devise ways
and means for the purpose of putting
"A stop to the crime which threatens
TO plunge the country into a state of
disorder
TT begins to look, however If the
outrages continue and the punishment
is not more certain and severe, as IL
the people will take justice into their
own hands. In fear of this deplorable
outcome the orderly citizens of South
Africa have demanded an amendment
to the criminal code such as will eff
fectually teach the blacks the danger
of allowing rein to their passions. The
benevolent plan, which condones Of
lenses and attempts reformation by
education and moral instruction. is re-
garded as a failure, and lynchings or
speedy legal executions is the only pol
lev now advocated in South Africa"
The protection of white women
against negroes. even to the extent of
prohibiting social intercourse, is uni
versal in spite of some mistaken beliefs
to the contrary. 4 newspaper cor
respondent of credit and discernment
who has travelled throughout the An
TILES, reports that ''in the French In
dies and at Martinique, even among
the mixed races, there is an uhcoh-
scious selection tending upwards
towards the superior race" In the
British West Indies, this traveller as
serts also, that no dowry will tempt
a white girl to marry a mulatto, or an
octoroon. or any man with the least
suspected faint of negro blood in his
veins. At Bermuda, north of the
archipelago, the same feeling was OBJ
served.
while men of each race may assoc
ciate in military, political and business
life, yet in society wherever it is pos
sible demarcation is severely drawn,
not only in the United States. but in
every other place in the world where
the deteriorating effect of the negro
blood is appreciated"

WANTED-AN AVIARY.

Work has begun on the aquarium,
which will soon be one OF the CHIEF at
fractions of Kapiolani park and wal
kiki. An aviary ought to be the next

whether some rich man will build
and equip one.
Visitors to the Golden Gate park at
San Francisco linger long in the aViary
there. Every songbird that money can
buy has been collected and put In the
great wire and glass covered house In
a central hall of which people sit and
listen to the music of the Wildwood.
Hawaiian mourning doves are there,
sounding their plaintive notes; and the
canary, the meadow lark. the linnet,
the thrush, the reed bird, queer birds
from the tropics, dozens of feathered
warblers the names of which one cam
not recall fly about among the shrubs
and trees, attracting the eye and de-
lighting the ear. There is large cage
near by for squirrels and there might be
one for monkeys. Nothing in all the
park, not even the museum, is more de-
lghtful.
The climate of San Francisco Is
against the aviary and measures nave
to be taken to protect the delicate In
mates from cold. Here in Honolulu
there would be no such requirement.
The kind of summers that songbirds
seek in the East and South we have
here the year around though it is per-
haps a bit hotter there than here; and
any bird which stays by the summer
as migrating song birds do ought to
thrive in this place.

the trees ana an aquarium on one Of

never before. Perhaps, in time, it will

is needed Is for Honolulu's rich men
to acquire the same generous mood
towards Kapiolani park that.San Fran
cisco's rich men nave towards Golden
Gate park.

THE NEW SALOON QUESTION.

The Advertiser does not favor an OK
tension of the saloon limits for the sake
of getting more saloons. The city has
too many drinking places already. Nor
does it believe in putting a saloon in
any place where n population gathers
to do business. That proposition was
squelched in one part of the city when
saloons We're driven off Fort street:
and the principle established there
should, we think apply to the public
fishmarket or any similar place.
So many people go to market, includ-
ing ladies. that saloon near by would
easily become a nuisance. Nobody
wants a mob of gin-nhamed loafers
hanging about there. If such a thing
comes to pass few lades-and few gem
tlemen, for that matter-wil care 10
keep the fshmarket on their visiting
list.
We suspect also that if the saloons
are kept at distance the natives will
have more money to spend for FISH.
