their salary, aye, verify, even do
they roast them for drawing their
breath. The political demagogue
is going about from house to
house and from place to place,
bowling "Gang rule! Divide the
land district! Calamity" "Calam-
ity,'' at a fraction of that great,
good party which has been the
headstolle Of the great American
nation since time almost i'm.
memorable to the present gene
ration. Who are they who seek
to destroy the happiness, the
prosperity, the advancement and
the intelligence which this great
and good party has been so in
strumental in bringing about
during it's almost continualreig
for the last 125 years, or since
the foundation of these great
United States was laid? Or are
they agltators Of a weak framed
platform that has a tendency to
bring destruction and ruin on
whatever might fall INTO their
hands? The progress Thar was
made in Ward county during 'He
reign OF many of the county Off
Gals, borders ON the marvellous.
New school houses, new churches,
have been erected, new towns
have been builded, telephones and
railroads have been constructed.
knowledge travels with thespeed
Of lightning. A crime committed
in one part OF the county is
heralded the following minute
into every other important part.
An escape of a deep dyed criminal
is utterly impossible. But with
all this material improvement, it
must not be overlooked that a
great moral force has been no
less a factor in the progressive
steps towards a higher and
grander civilization. And where
can a voter be better prepared
than in the folds OF the Republi-
can party. The first steps there
taken are in direct lines OF pro-
gressiveness and the wisest and
most prudent procedure OF gov
erning national Republic. The
Republican organization OF Ward
county has always been in the
lead for further advancementan and
why not? Is it not her home?
Where is there a true born Ameri-
can who would not fight for his
home? If the present county
officials are not honest, conser-
vative, prudent and painstaking
and morally good, why in the
name OF Ward county, a place us
big as Rhode Island, have they
been elected, some Of them year
after year and term after term?
The answer is this: The voting
population of the county wanted
them and do want them be-
cause they are proficient and
well skilled in their duties in at
tending to the public's needs or
wants as you see fit to put it.
And they are men who have
sworn to support the constitu-
ton OF the United States and to
perform their duties as county
officials so far as the same shall
come to their knowledge. And
they are intelligent men too. AS
long as such men as these guide
the reins of our great county,
the voters need not feel uneasy
for fear that any critical mistake
will be made.

A Tribute To The Memory o
FloSSie l.. Muir.

While loving hands we're ministering
to her
Gods message Of peace and love,
Folded in their arms our loved one
And bore her to the realms above.
Bore her to the blessed Savior,
Laid her on his loving breast;
Tenderly his arms EMBODIED her
In sweet and peaceful rest.
She fully trusted in her Savior
Through the long, long weeks Of pain,
Trusted in the blessed prom Use,
1.-THE dead in Christ shall rise again"
Patiently through all her sickness
Bearing each and every pain.
And sweet the smile that was her greet
ing,
To the many friends who came.
From the broken family circle.
She has gone for evermore,
Yet, she is not dead, but liveth,
She has only gone before.
Gone to meet with other loved ones,
And their heavenly home to share.
Forever free from pain and suffering,
And no sorrow enters there.
We shall miss thee, dearest Flossie,
As the days and weeks 60 by,
But we know that thou art waiting
In thy home beyond the sky.
And that we again shall meet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Weary hearts, with sorrow burdened,
Think not your loved one gone afar,
She has only passed the Portals
And has left the Coates ajar.'
Hark! A STRAIN of heavenly music
Floating from the throne OF God,
And still small voice whispers
II love thee, pass under the Rod
Just across the Mystic River,
Over on the Golden Shore,
You shall meet again this loved one
When your pilgrimage is DER.
"Heaven retaineth now your treasure
Earth the empty casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where your darling Flossie sleeps"

PRINCIPAL MACKlNTOSH'S VIEWS

II might have been expected that
something terse and reaching the mar
row. when educational questions We're
I'D for discussion, should come from
the Rev. Alexander Macintosh, the
veteran principal of the Royal School.
The following pithy articles are from
the educational department of the An
glican Church Chronicle, of which Mr.
Macintosh is the editor:
The Honolulu Branch of the Terri
torial Teachers Association held an IN
teresting meeting last month, at when
the. discussion was mainly on paper
by Prof NJ. NJ. Scott, on the subject
of what to do with backward pupils.
This is difficult question in these
days of whirl and hurry. So many are
left behind in the race, and only the
minority get to the goal. Somehow the
cry has not reached us yet. that the
want of the extreme education that the
pedagogical world is setting before the
rest of the world, is hindrance to the
gaining of livelihood. We see some
of those we deemed backward pupils
occupying fair situations. The term
backward must be subjected to
closer definition than is given to 1t at
present before a true answer can be
given to the question.
The other education question, which
has received the attention of the local
newspapers, is of great Importance.
Both teachers and parents must come
together for serious discussion before
the curricula of schools can be settled.
There is one thing certain. 1t is more
than injurious for teachers to set tasks
in which parents assist the pupils. "'he
teacher wants to ascertain the exact
ability of his pupil. He does not want
TO know the ability of the parent.
Committing to memory of poetry. ac-
cidence, and perhaps formulate must
be done out of school hours. The
teacher and class cannot wait till these
things are learned. But whole pages of
examples in algebra or arithmetic
which ought to be done under the
teachers eye, should never be set
pupil for home work.

A San Francisco dispatch says: The
Hama Plantation Company, through
President Hellman, has brought suit
against the former board of directors
for $475,000. This amount it is claimed
is due the stockholders for alleged
mismanagement of the company's af-
fairs. The company's plantation is
located at Hama, Maui. Alexander &
Baldwin are the companys agents.
The Gable company issues the follow
ing announcements "Only messages in
plain language will be accepted for
Japan, Korea, Formosa, Funan, Seoul
and Chemulpo. The Japanese admins
tration defines plain language as all
Japanese, or all English or all French.
No code messages will be accepted and
messages in plain language will only
be accepted at the sender's risk"
Fifty dollars was all that was bid
for Kona lands carrying a mortgage of
$500 in a foreclosure sale held at noon
yesterday at the Judiciary building
The land is 56la acres at Kalaoa 4,
North Kona, and was sold under a
foreclosure decree obtained by Thayer
& Hemenway in the case of John Vivi-
chaves VS.. Manuel +. Pedro and Kaai-
hue Kahulanui. Vivichaves bid the
property in for $50, there being no 9TH
er bidder. The interest, costs of court
and other expenses are not covered by
the $50 and the mortgagor will have a
deficiency judgment for more than the
amount originally loaned.

MAY BE THE NEXT

The Baltimore fire calls attention
once more to the remarkable immunity
which modern San Francisco has en-
ljoyed from CONGREGATIONS. If ever
there was city that ought to catch
fire and burn down it Is the great
huddle OF wooden homes on the hills
and in the valleys of the wind-swept
San Francisco peninsula. The condi-
tons are all there for fire; and the
means of meeting them, though worth
much, seem hardly adequate, II a blaze
should start under circumstances fav-
orable to its spread, to prevent a
tremendous loss of property.
San Francisco relies upon good fire
department and plenty of water. But
Baltimore had that. She also depends
on the fact that redwood, of which
most of the dwellings and many of the
business structures are built, burns but
slowly. Yet, when a fire starts and
spreads it levels block after block of
brick and stone buildings, which, sure
ly, are less inviting to fire than even
the greenest of redwood. We fancy,
too, that those who saw the Baldwin
burn in san Francisco have no great
faith in the staying power OF any sort
of wood,

BISHOP hENDRlCK
AT TIFF: HAWAIIAN

A number of little dinners were given
at the Hawaiian Hotel last evening,
and among them was one to Bishop
Thomas a. Hendrick. the new Catho-
lie Bishop to the Philippines, who has
resided in Rochester, New York, for
over a quarter of a century. The Bish-
op was entertained by Col Macfarlane.
to whom he brought letters of intro
duction. Among the party was Fa-
Their Garland and Father Mclaughlin
of Iowa. who are visiting the Islands
and have been guests at the Hawaiian
Hotel for a fortnight or more. Bishop
Hendrick spent most of the day at the
Catholic church visiting the Fathers
there, who escorted him on visit TO
the Sisters at the leper station, and
to the Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
In the afternoon the Bishop visited
Pacific Heights in company with Col.
Macfarlane and the visiting priests,
Father Mclaughlin and Father Car
land.
