A BATTLE ABOUT SCHOOLS

A unique battle Is that which Is be-
Ing fought in England at present
against the right OF the state to levy
taxes upon dlssenters for the support
Of school teachers, teaching the 'estab-
lishcd" religion. II II an old fight, but
recently II has assumed large proper
lions and Is beginning to become
quite serious
II seems that the movement for rellg-
ious liberty has crystalllzed into an
organization known as the Passive
Resisters, with membership Of about
10000. These Passive Resisters seem
TO be pledged to suffer their goods to
be conAscated and sold FOR taxes, rath-
err than to pay voluntarily for the sup
port Of the established religion In the
schools. A number Of ministers be-
long to this organization, and the
movement is said to be growing stead

lister.
I'VE contend that no taxpayer should
be Obliged TO support schools In which
dogmatic and ecclesiastical instruction
contrary to his belief Is taught nor To
help pay teachers who must undergo a
denominatlonul religious test before
they are allowed to practice their pro-
fesslon. II IL precisely the same spirit
which caused the pilgrims to emlgrate
to America IN 1920, for Just as the gov
eminent was trying to force state re.
ligion upon the people then, so It Is
trying to strengthen that religion now
by proselytlzng the children OF Nom
conformst parents
To give an idea Of the manner In
which this curious battle is fought
the following incidents may be quoted'
"A Nonconformlst minister at Birm-
Ingham, who had refused 10 pay that
portion Of his taxes which WAS to be de-
voted 10 the support OF schools of an
other faith surprised the officers who
visited him 20 seize his goods, by lnvit-

AMERICAN HAWAIIAN
DOCKS NOT SHIPS BURNED
(From Saturdays Advertiser.)

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
The town was electrified yesterday
morning by the story that three of the
Hawaiian American boats, the Nebras-
kan, American and Arizona, had been
burned at the 4lst street pier used by
the company in south Brooklyn. e.
Hedemann the general manager of the
Honolulu Iron Works, sent the news to
his company, which was as follows:
New York, Oct. 27.-To Honiron,
Honolulu: Nebraskan, American, Ari-
conan, burned. Amount of damage UNI
certain. but believed to be serious.
Hedemann.'
Percy Morse, the general agent of
the company at II. Hackfeld & Co.,
had no information then on the sub
ject but thought it was at least partly
in error as the Nebraskan left New
York for San Francisco on the 18th.
Later in the day, he received the fol-
lowing, which shows Mr. Hedemann to
have been mistaken: "American-Ha-
waian S. S. Company's docks at
Brooklyn burned. Steamers unin-
jured." Probably Mr.. Hedemann had
been deceived by yellow extra.
Up to late last night Mr.. Morse had
received no further information and
1t is not known how the fire started,
or the amount OF the loss involved.

ONE BIG DRAWBACK
TO SMALL FARM| Nc

Editor Advertiser: Having read the
different articles i'm different papers on
small Farmers" II seems to me That
the small farmer has n very poor show
outside. perhaps, of the island of oahu,
and those who are near enough to the
ports of Hilo and Kahului to haul their
own produce TO the steamers that run
direct to the Coast.
Where the farmer mas to depend on
the steamship companies for get
ting his produce to market, he is met
with such prohibitive prices that there
is nothing left for the farmer. Any
small farmer will have at different
times a few head of cattle to dispose
of, mostly small cattle weighing from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred
pounds, which, If he can get from
eight to ten cents per pound, helps him
along but when the steamship COM
pany charges four dollars to take this
small bullock fourteen miles, ii leaves
almost nothing for the poor little farm
err.
Now, this is no pipe dream. but is
small farmers receive. They have Il
few head of cattle to dispose of and
can get a better price for their cattle
in Lahaina than in Honolulu owing to
the over supply of cattle from the big
cattle ranches and when they found
a market for what few cattle that they
had in Lahaina at a fair price, they
were met by, first demand for seven
dollars a head, big or small, for trans
portation from Pukoo to Lahaina, a dis
lance of about fourteen miles, and later
on the price was reduced to four dol
lars per head, big or small.
AS cattle have and are being taken
from ports on Molokai to Honolulu, for
small stock one dollar and a half to
seventy-ive cents per head and big
cattle three to three fifty per head, it
is hard for the small farmer to under
stand, why the big difference in prices
between Molokai and Maui ports, and
Molokai and Oahu ports, unless 1t Is
that the small farmer has dared to in
wade the sacred precincts of the Dig
man or men on Maui, and by so doing
have reduced the price of beef to the
consumer in Lahaina, to price that
the poor man can at last afford to buy
beef which he could not afford to do
before, and all on account of compeu-
ton, meat now selling at two pounds
for a quarter and better meat at that,
where it used to sell for seventeen to
twenty cents per pound and poor meat
at that. All attempts of the Molokai
cattle raisers to get a price from the
steamship that would leave something
having failed
By publishing these few lines, the
general public will have good idea OF
one big drawback to small FARMER
having much show.

TRACHOMA
BREAKS OUT
It's Appearance In City
Schools CompeIs
Action.
from saturdays Advertiser,

a special meeting of tie Board of
Health was called yesterday afternoon
by Or. Cooper the acting president,
to consider an outbreak of trachoma
in the city schools. Many cases have
lately occurred among adults, but when
sixty cases in the schools were reported
DIR. Cooper, I'm the absence of Pres
ideut p,nkham, felt 1t was time to take
action.
There were present, of the Board, DR..
Cooper Attorney General L. Andrews,
Mark Il. Robinson and +. G. Smith,
members; DR.. j. $. Il. Pratt. executive
officer. and G. Charlock, secretary. a.
II. Atkinson, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, and DR.. w. l.. Moore at
tended in consultation.
The nature of the disease, an eye
malady introduced from Japan, was ex-
planned by the medical gentlemen pres
ent. 1t is highly contagious out not
infectious. The virus may be conveyed
to the eyes by the hands after touch
ing anything that may have been ham
died by an infected subject. Persons
handling packages of merchandise on
the wharves or in warehouses ought to
be very strict about washing their
hands. When trachoma is around the
habit of rubbing the eyes every time
little irrita ton in them is felt should
be religiously avoided. Towels used in
common where people work must be
Stunned, and even in the cleanliest
homes every individual should avoid
wiping the hands with a towel used by
another, for the infection may ente" a
household without warning.
Mr.. Atkinson was opposed to any
closing of the schools, believing 1t
would only promote contagion to re-
lease children to play about the water
front. Whatever the Board of Ha.ith
ordered in precautionary measures, the
Department of Education would faith
fully observe. MIR. Atkinson agreed
with others present that there was 10
occasion for any alarm such as was
raised about the visitation of dengue
fever some years ago.
DIR. Cooper thought a medical inspec-
tor for the schools should be provided.
Considerable discussion was held over
the money question, there being no
emergency fund available.
Mr. Andrews made motion that pre-
vailed, to have a committee appointed
to employ a physician.
Mentioning that the president would
return from Hilo today, the acting pres
ident appointed President Pinkhain.
Attorney General Andrews and himself
CDR. Cooper as committee 10 report
back at next meeting.
DR.. Cooper handed the Advertiser re-
porter at the meeting the following
pathological description of the disease
for the public information:
TRACHOMA-GRAN CON-
JUNCTIVITIS.
A contagious disease of the eyelids
that may, in severe cases, extend to the
cornea globe of the eye). 1t is first
characterized by follicles or sago-like
elevations of the palpebral conjunctives
and later by friction produces pannus,
a decentralization of the cornea, due
