ers do not.
You are fortunate, little one, to have an old
fashioned mother, and I know that you think it
hard that you cannot do the many things that
other girls do, but some day you will thank God
for such a mother.
The first bell is ringing and I must let you go
to your studies, but before you go [ want to re-
mind you that boastin~ is a sign of weakness. If
your lineage is good, words are not necessary, for
it tells in your actions. Remember that you are
away from home and cannot expect the same
luxuries; you will find that the girl that COM
plains the most has been accustomed to the least
at home, for the true lady adapts herself to cir
cumstances. Do not be a %grumbler, but if things
go wrong go directly to headquarters, for nothing
is gained by deceit, and it takes twenty lies to up
hold the first one you told.
Do not be a gossip; be silent if you cannot
say something good of some one; more lives of
young girls have been ruined by the knowing
smile or uplifted eyebrow, and remember that
the truest charity of all is the charity of speech.
[ wish that I could impress upon young girls
the Importance of your having a stated allowance
and keeping a careful account of same. Parents
complain continually of the extravaganza of girls,
but it is their fault, for they should insist upon
a certain sum each week or month, and an &C
count kept of same.
The time is almost up, and [ must say good
bye, but must give you two more "Don'ts."
Don't tell things to girls that you will regret
afterwards; there is but one earthly friend to
whom you should tell everything, and that is your
mother. Remembe that some day your dearest
friend may become your enemy, and it is a grave
mistake to show the depths of your heart to any
one but to your mother and God.
And what is my last "Don't,' you ask? tt is
that you do not forget your mother, but that
your separation from her will make you love her
more and more. It may be that you are going
to return to a home more humble than your
school, but do not let it change your heart. It is
home, and remember that your greatest happiness
should be there, and in return for the sacrifices
that your parents have made, you will I'LL the sum-
mer months with little deeds of love, so that they
will know that their little lassie, with her heart
of gold, has not changed.
The BELTS ringin~ but before you go I put my
arms around you for the sake of the dear mother
who is praying that her little girl is we'll and
happy in her new life, and this prayer will keep
and guard your dear ~heart.-Sophie B. Wright,

KEPOIKAPS OPINION Of
OLD APPROPRIATION BILLS
Treasurer Does Not Believe 1901 Law is Good
But Will Probably Pay on Six
Months Basis.

"No, I don't believe the old appro-
Territorial government said Treasurer
Kepoikai yesterday. By old appropria-
tions the Treasurer means those of 1901,
for he is reported to have already sig
nified his willingness to pay those of
the six months bill, which removes
the last difficulty in the way of car
rying on the Territorial government
without a special session of the legis-
lature.
Treasurer Kepoikai returned from a
weeks vacation on Maui, having been
granted leave of absence for that length
of time by Governor Carter.
II don't care to be interviewed on
Sunday said the Treasurer to an Ad-
vertiser reporter on the wharf yester-
day afternoon. Come up to my Office
tomorrow and I will give you my con-
tentions on the subject of appropria-
tions.'
DO you believe. the old appropria
tions can be used now?'

that they cannot. I have not read the
Attorney Generals opinion yet. But

Mr.. Kepoikai.
Then you will refuse to pay under
the old appropriations?''
Il never said that
Treasurer Kepoikai and Governor
Carter will probably confer today on
the question of appropriations after
the Senate has concluded it's delibera-
tions. The consent of the Treasurer is
necessary before appropriations can be
paid. The Organic Act provides:

HIGH STEAMER FARES
KEEP TOURISTS AWAY

with your present high steamship
rates, and believe the Advertiser has
hit upon the right reason for the fail
ure of tourists to be attracted to the
islands. When you can go from any
city in the United States to Jamaica
for a two weeks tour, at a rate of 800
for the finest accommodations, people
are not coming to Honolulu, and pay
S135 just for steamer passage from
San Francisco. You can make the
Jamaica trip from either Boston or
New York for SIS, and that is about the
proper tourist rate for the round trip
between Honolulu ana San Francisco.
On the same basis as the Jamaica trip
$40 for one way passage is amply suffi-
cient, and it is a rate that would at
tract the tourists as we'll. Hawaii is
just beginning to become known in
the eastern states and-there are thous-
ands of people every year, who no
doubt plan to come 10 the islands for
the winter But when they begin to
inquire, and learn the almost prohibit
tive steamship rates, the trip is aban-
doned in a hurry, and Jamaica or
Florida is the winter resort chosen.
II have had a most pleasant stay in
the islands, and I intend to return as
soon as I have finished my business in
Washington and New York"

HAWAII MAY HAVE LIGHT
HOUSE MONEY REFUNDED

Hawaii can get back the money she
has expended for the care of light
houses since annexation if she only
goes about in the right way.
When Collector Stackable was in
Washington a few months ago he was
called into conference several times
with Secretary Cortelyou of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor in
regard to the taking over of the light
houses of Hawaii. Besides receiving
the assurance of Secretary -Cortelyou
that the United States would assume
control of the lighthouses in the Ter
ritory beginning with the first of the
year, Collector Stackable was inform
ed also that if the Territorial authori-
ties would make UP the estimates
showing how much had been spent
in maintenance and construction of
lighthouses since annexation the De-
partment of Labor and Commerce
would submit to Congress a recon-
mendation for an appropriation to re-
the Territory for money so
expended.
The total expenditure for lighthouses,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-01-18

salaries and expense of maintenance
for three years and six months from
June IA, 1900 would not be over $25,-
900 but the fact that Secretary Cortel-
you is willing to recommend the repay
ment of this amount, may be taken as
indicating willingness of the Ma
tionaI Government to reimburse the
Territory for all strictly federal ex-
penditures made by the Territory
since annexation. The principal item
is of course the dredging of harbors
and the maintainence of buoys in the
various harbors. The total expendi-
ture on this account will aggregate sew
eral hundred thousands of dollars, and
the attitude of Secretary Cortelyou
gives some promise of the amount
being finally paid.
AS to the lighthouses, there is some
little difficulty at present as to how
the expense of maintenance for the
next period is to be borne. The Presi-
dent upon issuing the proclamation
taking over the lighthouses on the first
of the year specified that the Terri
tory should maintain the lights for
one month, and there is a question as
to where the money is to be obtained
as the Territory has no appropriation
for the purpose.

Daft REVIEWS TROOPS.
Secretary of War Taft's first off1cia
act, as cabinet officer, was to review
a detachment of one hundred artillery
men from Camp Mckinley who unex-
pectedly met him at Pearl City or
Saturday. The Secretary of War and
a distinguished company were on a
special train at the time en- route
through the plantation sections. The
artillery detachments, composed of fif-
ty men each, from the 9th and 9th
companies, Coast Artillery, under
command of Captain Douglass, had
just marched in from the United States
Military reservation at Kahauiki and
We're waiting at Pearl City for trans
portation to Honolulu, when the spe-
cial train arrived. y
It is worthy of note that the new
Secretary of War reviewed for the
first time, troops that had been on
active field duty. The men were mud
dy, having just marched in over six
teen miles of heavy rain soaked roads.
When it was known that the Secre-
tary of War was aboard the train the

that the Treasurer is too good a Re

something to say as to who will fill
