churches with streets through them

the neighboring houses and streets, is
a remarkable sight, as one surveys it
from the roadway below.

Yes; we believe in the sentiments
expressed that when a man is down,
never attempt to rub it into him nor
try to inflict further severity upon him
than what has already been done to
the aggrieved and afflicted party; but
instead, try to assuage the severity,
after having gained ones point by
harboring no ill,will and resentment
towards such one. Yet we have this
to say of him---he did not show such a
spirit of forbearance and gratitude to-
wards our people after gaining the as
cendancy over them by an act of revo-
luton. While he was member of the
Committee of Safety of the revolution
airy faction and of the Advisory Coun-
ell of the Provisional Government in
1893 and since, he was supporter of
the rub-it-in policy of DR.. Wood ct al.
Instead of not pushing Hawaiians
down the HILL they severely pushed
us down grade from that time on up to
the ppresent day. Mr.. Brown did not
raise his voice in protest, but he help
ed to rub-it-in further, and he and thty
saw no reason to give us quarters, but
urged 1t on to desperation.

FRIDAY. MARCH ls. 1904.
THOSE PRINCIPALS AGAIN.

Upon inquiring as to the status of
the four leading school principals al
ready mentioned and criticized in this
paper, we have learned a little some
thing to comment upon, pro. and con.
as regards their respective worth, ie.,
their charltableness and selfshness.
AS regards those traits in their respec-
tive makeup, we feel that 1t is none
OF our business to criticize them nor
even to mention as to how they spend
their earnings, but it goes to show
where ones heart is with regard to his
or her chosen work in the pedagogic
field of employment in the cause of
education. IL is the right of all per-
sons to spend what they earn in the
manner that pleaseth them best, whe-
ther properly or foolishly, charitably
or selfishly, extravagantly or miserly,
or otherwise; but upon certain show
ing to be made as we are now at.
tempting, the people can, for them
selves, form an opinion as to what
they may think of them, either favor.
ably or not Some may feel that it is
personal, but we deem that the public
has right TO know in the light of in
formation CLEANED and gained without
seeking f0r 1t.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-03-18

And the last of this quartette is
Mrs. Frasher, of the Kaiulani School,
who also receives 5000 month, a
mighty big pay for woman who has a
husband, the secretary and bookkeep-
er of the Consolidated Soda Water
Works Co., also earning another 5000,
so we are informed, They jointly
earn the munifcent sum of s400 a
month between them, and none OF 1t
hardly goes towards charity than to-
wards themselves and their children.
We deem this as selflshnes at a pre-
MUM and ought not to be tolerated. If
a man cannot support his wife and
children without making her work to
assist him In his maintenance, al.
though 1t may be deemed right by
Others providing both are agreeable

is about time for him and her to HE

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-03-18

OF the Rev. Alex. Macintosh, of
the Royal School, we believe that a
part of his pay also goes out towards
charity, but how much we are not in
a position to know. He has a family
depending, upon him, and as they are
all grown-up boys, they are themselves
perfectly able to look after themselves
without dependence upon him. But
aside from his salary of 5000 month,
he also receives another stipend of
S125 from the Church, of which he is
one of It's pastors. And of Prof. NJ. M.
Scott, of the High School, he has
family of girls, besides his wife, de-
pending upon his salary of 1925 a
month One daughter is married and
two are yet left upon his hands to dis
pose of, both being of marriageable
age. But as regards any Of it going
out to charity, he believes in the pre-
cept that charity begins at home"
We don't blame him for being so mind
full of home first, last and all the
time, but we do consider him too sell
fish, and We are given to understand
that he is always grumbling that his
salary is insufficient to live decently
upon. Now comes the rub-if he is
dissatisfied with his lot, the way is
open to him to seek. other pastures
new and fresh. where his talents may
be used to better advantage and be bet
ter remunerated
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-03-18

Before asking employees to accept a
cut in salary, heads of departments
and bureaus should cut off an amount
of their own, proportionately equal to
the other reductions it is desired to
make. In the Department of Educa-
tion, for example, superintendent At
kinson should start out with a big
surrended. OF course he can take
refuge under the provision making his
salary specific; but it cannot be re-
garded as either right or fair. Teach
ers and others are not likel yto view
with complacency ruthless slashing
of their stipends while the head of the
Department continues to draw his big
money.

WHY PUSH DOWNWARDS

There's more truth tina npoetry in
the song words of Billy Emerson, the
negro minstrel, heard in our youth,
over decade ago to never push a
man while he's going down the hill.
We heartily believe in such an express
sion, even If 1t was only known in
'minstrelsy. A correspondent, signing
himself as Period in last Mondays is
sue, took sides with us in our treat
ment of the now resigned Superinten
dent of Water Works, Andrew Brown,
because of our severt criticism of him,
at the same time scoring us severely
for such action on our part. 1t is fu'
tile and puerile for us to deny Periods
scathlng denunciation of our course,
but he does not stop to consider whe-
ther we were justified in doing so or
not yet we somewhat believe him to
be right; and yet, again, in order to
be right, one must be just; and to be
just, one must be fearless and not
afraid to tell the truth at all times and
Qt Sft ltff
during all circumstances, unmindful OF
friend and foe. according all the same
treatment.

towards charity and she does 1t unos-
tentatiously and without being herald
ed broadcast. Certain unknown par
ties are being aided in their support
by her generosity, besides maintaining
a private dispensary at the school
where the poor children attending
school are treated by her, she herself
washing and bandaging whatever
sores they may have about their bod
les and members. She does all this at
her own expense, besides maintaining
other private charities. Apart from
herself, she has no one depending up.
on her. Be it remembered that dur
ing the plague times in 1S99-1900, she
volunteered her services in the plague
hospital at Kakaako as a nurse, where
she remained in her enforced quaran-
tine to the end of that epidemic pc:
riod without pay. We are more than
pleased to know all this about her,
and would ask-Who would have done
as much for a people other than her
own? A very few; the Rev. Father
Valentin being the only other known
example at the time.

Can anyone blame us for harboring
such resentful and spiteful feeling
towards them? Any and all just and
fair-minded people will not think so.
They will, no doubt say that we are
justified in our attitude. We think we
are and that's all there is about it. But
we must thank Period for calling us to
mind in this matter, and that we are
with him in the sentiments he ex'
presses.
