Money Makes Worthless Children.

An attorney who does large bust
ness in the settlement Of estates was
relating an incident the other day
which is by no means an isolated
case, and which shows how vain it
is often times for parents to toll and
economize. in order to pile up for
tunes to give to their children.
"Just seven years ago., said this
man, Il made the final settlement
Of one of the largest estates in my
county. The deceased, who had
survived his wife, had long been
one Of the prominent farmers of the
county. He had been a pioneer, he
had worked early and late year after
year, and SO did his wife.
They had quite a large family and
it was the ambition of the parents
to leave each Of their children a
good farm, and they realized their
ambition, though number of the
children refused to take the farms.
They preferred the money and a
chance to get in some sort Of busi-
ness in a city or town. Seven years
ago each one Of these children, boys
and girls alike, were in possession
Of modest fortune. Today, with a
single exception, they are practically
bankrupt. With one exception
the possessions Of all Of them pu
together would not buy a good sizet
garden patch, and worn out horse
to work it. 1t cannot be said tina
it was the fault of their training, fol
they were all trained to work, ane
yet somehow or other none Of then
seemed to know the value of a dollar
They had done little or nothing OF
their own initiative, and that per
haps was the cause Of their not be
ing able to take care of what wa
left them"
AS we said before, this case i
typical. The way to teach the aver
/ age individual the value of none,
is to have him work for it on hi
own account. A man who recentl,
died in st. Louis, leaving a larg
fortune has put his only son to
test that has much to commend il
He has provided that the young MAJ
must go to work and for a period Q
years, save out Of his earnings, a
least ten dollars month, which h
must deposit regularly. The mat
ter is SO safe-guarded that it wi
be impossible for the boy to hav
somebody advance him his saving
and thus make good that way.
Fewer young men and yom
women would grow up useless
themselves and their communitie,
if parents would only have commo
sense enough not to be forever try
ing to shield their children from a
the trials and hardships which the
had to endure. The individu;
thatis not taught self-reliance an
who does not learn the value
money by having to earn it, usual
makes sad work of accumulate
store that is handed to him on Il
death Of a parent. There are e
/ ceptions of course to this rule, b
! there is not community anywhes
that cannot point out instance aft
instance in line with the one relate

You never can tell what your thoughts will do

A PROGRESSIVE REVOLUTION

January seems to he the mystic
month for revolutionary periods in
these Islands. The whole list Of his
toriCal January events, however. from
the date when the American anneXa-
ton campaign was opened has been
leading mp to the present occasion
when centralized power gives way TO
the administration of their own at
fairs by the citizens of the Territory.
II is rather an unfortunate common
tary on Hawaii's past that the inaugu-
ration of popular American government
should be revolutionary. yet this Is
the object for which every honest
American anneXationist has earnestly
worked since the campaign was opened,
And fortunately for all concerned this
period finds the people united in their
support OF American methods however
divided they may have bee nat the out
set
The form of government that comes
into existence today is no child's play
II offers no opportunity for deeds OF
military yalor. There Is no blare OF
trumpet or panoplied glory to inspire
men TO their duty. The responsible
ties which deyolve upon the citizen
however, are no less important and
the inspiration to perform their full
duty to themselves. their country anu
its principles. and to the people a,
large should not be lacking. 1t must
not fail If this peaceful revolution in
Hawaii's affairs represented by the in
auguration of local self-government Il
to be the success hoped for and there
is every reason to believe will be.
County government will furnish q
supreme test of the high character ant
ability Of the citizenship of this Ter
