Members are so far determined to
carry out the Governors wishes to the
letter and to show that they are capa.
bic OF good government. They are
proud of the confidence that has been
placed in them and are particularly
pleased at the treatment accorded
them by the Executive. Governor Car.
ter's office door is wide open to all
members of the Legislature and they
have precedence as the representatives
of the people of Hawaii over all other
visitors, Their suggestions are eager
ly sought and advice is freely given.
There is not member of the house
but has noticed the difference in their
reception at the hands of Governor
Carter as compared with the Icy hand
that was grudgingly extended in the
days Of Dole.

And still there are yet other Unequal
tiles, such, for instance, the Oahu
Assessor. He is supplied with office
deputies, assistants and clerical help,
while the others have to do all their
own work. Why this difference? We
deem this an unjust discrimination
Former Assessors, prior to the P. G.
regime. didn't have any deputies and
assistants as they have had since and
all had to do their own work with only
few clerical assistants. II It could
then be done, why not now? It can be
just as we'll done now as then. We
consider the Assessors OF more impor-
lance than the Sheriffs, and we fail to
understand why the latter are better
paid positions than the former, under
which the main revenue of the coun.
try is produced and derived from,
AS these are not all, we will contin-

hope that some of our suggestions, at
least, will be listened to and favorably
considered and acted upon.

Every restaurant has its so-calsed free

cities according TO the cost az which
extras may be givea. In San Fran
cisco IL Is the custom 10 offer a
diner plate OF shrimps, although his
order may call for no heavier meal
than coffee and toast In New YORK
potatoes are on the free list, and
sometimes a plate of bread. Rostaur-
ant patrons at Washington receive
extras In the way of fruit, according
to IT'S season, but in Boston the diner
pays more completely for everything
he eats than is exacted In any other
city in the country. The apples which
are free in a Washington restaurant
he must pay for here. says the Boaion
Advertisers the plate Of bread which

the general rule are gratis only with

Boston restaurant men explain the
existing situation In the fact that they
purchase the best quality OF goods TO

other cities always consists OF food
that cost the restaurant proprietor
practically nothing. The Boston'man

Her Aim Too C.oL

One of the Smith family-Margaret
O London ower-seller-made a pretty
mess of 1t the other day in attempt
ing to demonstrate her regard for
King Edward VII. Margaret made up
a pretty bouquet, when the king went
to lay the cornerstone of st. Bartholo-
news Hospital, and made a frantic
Nendeavor to throw it into his carriage.
With true feminine aim, she managed
to land it WITH good force from her
stout arm, square between the royal
eyes. A policeman promptly arrested
the enthusiastic Margaret and hauled
her of to police station, but Edward
sent word to release her. Her inten.
tions were good, although her aim
was untrue.-London Tit-bfts.

Japanese Socialism.

The presence of Japanese dele
gate at the Socialist Congress is nat
ural enough. Japan has imported so
many Of our institutions and ideas
that Socialism was bound to creep in
among them. Katayama's party. like
it's European models, is now engaged
in agitating against the war 1t is
not pro-Russian; neither as Japanese
nor as Socialists could Katayama and
his friends have any sympathy with
the Slay despotism. But Japanese
Socialists oppose the war, no doubt,
because it means heavy taxation on
the poor and the strengthening of the
military element, which is always
most hostile to Socialism. Their eff
forts will be useless. In the midst of
Japan's life and death struggle there
is no room for debate as to the mer-
it's Of war policy. But after the war
is over. more will be neard Of the
Socialists in connection with the la
Dor movement. Katayama declares
that Japanese trades unions have no
politics, but only seek to improve the
condition of the worker. He errs in
comparing them in this respect to
our trade unions, which at the forth
coming congress will affirm their po-
litical faith in decisive terms on free
trade, Chinese labor and other burn
ing questions OF the day. But Kata-
yama probably hopes, like English
Socialists. to capture the trade unions
for the Independent Socialist party.
1t remains to be seen whether this
policy, which has not gone far in
England, will succeed in Japan.-Lon-
den News.

The God of Love.

It is not gold of rippled hair
Like cornfields swept by winds at play.
1t is not cheeks as fresh and fair
AS apple bloom at dawn of day
1t is not these that sing to Love.
And bid him wake SO sure, so soon:
That set the skies alight above,
And set him crying for the moon.
It is not heart-gold, pure and bright
AS virgin gold in hidden seams;
1t is not soul as clear and light
AS sunrise in poets dreams.
It is not these that give Love food
And drink-the magic wine and bread
That set, amid his solitude,
The enchanted garland on his head
Love only knows one god sublime,
The trinity in unity;
And the gods names are Space and Time
And-Opportunity.
