The Japanese WIN Grow Taller.

Even if they should lose the war
and haven't that to make them feel
big remarked the Doctor. ''in all prob
ability the next generation-or the next
but one-of the Japanese will be as tall
as the average American or European.
ut is the custom of sitting on the
ankles on the floor-instead of on
chair as we do-that explains the short
ness of the Japanese leg. The arteries
are kinked by the cramped position
and are therefore not properly nour-
ished- AS a matter Of fact, however,
the Japanese spine is just of a length
with the average American or Europe
an one-indeed. we all differ in height
rather by reason. of leg than of back,
and the spinal column is singulariy
constant among various individuals.
Now the chair has gained a place in
life and soon the length of
the japanese leg will become normal

effect, is not evidence that the water
rights in question are worth 100000.
THE DISSENTING OPINION.
Justice Galbraith, dissenting, makes
the following among other observations
1T is not denied that the taxpayer
made a vigorous effort during the ses-
sion of the Territorial Legislature COM
mencing on February 10, 1908, and
closing April 28, 1908. TO effect sale of
his rights in the water of these two
springs for $4,000, and. would have
of the Governor and the failure to con-
troll the votes, lacking one, in the SEN
ate necessary to pass the measure over
the Governors veto. In the absence of
any evidence to the contrary the as
SCISSOR had right to assume that the
taxpayers interest in this water privilege
was as valuable on the first day of
January, 1904, as it was at the close
of the legislative session in April prior
thereto Acting upon that presumption
he had right to place the valuation
of $Ioo,ooo on this property, the same
valuation placed thereon by the taxpayer
when he wanted to transfer it to the
public"
1t is held by Justice Galbra;th that
the claim that the value of the springs
was included in that of the lands is
proved an absurdity from the fact that
the sum of the valuations approved by
the Tax Appeal Court is only $43,75o
In his opinion the assessor should be
commended S.for taking the taxpayer
seriously in his dealing with the Ter
ritory through its Legislature" and he
saws the court has no right to presume
such perfidy ON the part of the 1egisla-
tive assembly as the contention of the
taxpayer implies" Nearing his conclu-
sion that the assessor had right to
assess the lands and water, using the
best information at his command, and
that the valuation placed thereon of
SI42,75o ought to be Sustained, Justice
Galbraith makes these remarks:
BY his conduct Mr.. Booth has rem
dered 1t entirely unnecessary for this
court to speculate or to attempt 40 ap-
ply some set rule to the facts in order
TO ascertain the full cash value of this
property. We should assume that he
placed the full cash value on it himself
when he attempted to sell it to the Ter
ritory first for $4,000 and later for
$4,000. Under the facts of this case
the doctrine or eStoppel, or common
honesty, ought TO close the mouth of
the taxpayer and forbid him to question
the valuation made of this property by
the assessor.
1T does not seem to me that Mr.
Booth has any just cause of complaint
if the same valuation is placed on his
property for taxation purposes that he
SO persistently represented it to have
when he wished to sell it to the Terri
tory. Such view is certainly in favor
Of public morality, if not of private
sirtue and common honesty"

THE EVA
OUTRAGES
The Trial in Progress.
Godfrey-Kidwell
Decision.

| Lee Jim, Chew Hoy, Lee Yok and 10y
Yin were placed on trial before Judge
De Bolt yesterday, under Indictment
for robbery in the first degree. The
case has relation to the outrages COM
mitted on the Eva road last year. w.
S. Fleming, Assistant Attorney Gen.
raj, appeared for the prosecution; n.
G.. Middleditch for 10y Yin, J. A. Mat
gan for Chew Hoy and Lee Yok.
Through challenges the jury panel was
exhausted in the morning and special
venire was issued for is talesmen, re-
turnable at 2:SO p. m. After the re-
turn was made the following jury was
found satisfactory: G. J. Ludwigsen,
Percy Lishman, H. r. Macfar1ane Jr..
Henry P Kaohi, G. Kealohapauole, w.

KIDWELL WINS OUT.
A majority opinion of the Supreme
Court by Chief Justice Frear and JUS
tice Perry, the latter being the writer,
denies compliments motion for a re-
hearing of the case of Frank Godfrey,
as trustee for Thomas Metcalf, against
John Kidwell. w. A. Whiting and c.
F. Clemens appeared for complainant;
Robertson & Wilder for respondents.
Justice Galbraith dissents on the
grounds stated in his dissenting opinion
to the decision that the majority pre-
viously rendered in the same case.
The main contention of complainant
all through was that Thomas Metca1f.
while in his. minority, made a sale of
property to Kidwell which he confirmed
after coming of age and that such sale
was made under a misrepresentation
that the grantor owned but a one-half
interest in the property. In its opinion
the Supreme Court majority say:
Our finding was that the deed was
not executed under a mistake as to the
facts on the part of either party,-that
while both doubtless supposed that in
all probability the grantor's interest
would prove to be not more than one
half, still they speculated, knowing the
deed to be operative to convey all the
grantor's interest, whatever it might
be, and took their chances as to all
over as well as to all under one-half.''

A SILLY SAYING.

SIT is common but silly opin-
ion prevailing among a GER
tain class of people that the
worse a remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efficacious it is"
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds
For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is so often
siEe to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, no
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which so seriously interfere
with its usefulness This was
written years ago; the work of
ciyilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all its wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. It is
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by US from fresh
cod iyers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry; creating medi-
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and fa-
tai among men. women and chill
dren. There is no other remedy
to compare with it. It increa-
ses the digestive power of the
stomach and in Blood Impure
ties, Throat and Lung Troubles,
Nervous Dyspepsia and Scrofu-
lous Affections, it gives quick
and certain relief and cure. DR..
G. g. Shannon, of Canada, says:
:" | shall continue its use with,
| am sure, great advantage to
my patients and satisfaction to
myself" Has all the virtues of
cod liver oil; none of its faults.
You may trust it fully; it cannot
disappoint you. At all chemists.

MAJORITY
FOR BOOTH
Court Renders
Three Opinions Upon
Pauoa Water.

C. w. Booth wins his water taxes
case by a majority decision of the SUI
preme Court. Chief Justice Frear
writes the controlling, and Justice Per-
ny a concurring opinion, while Justice
Galbraith files dissenting opinion.
Booth returned nearly fifty pieces OF
kula, taro, pasture, vegetable, noun
famous and residence lands in Pauoa,
Honolulu The assessor increased
number Of the valuations. The Tax.
Appeal Court sustained some and not
others of these increases. Former As
SCISSOR Pratt added new itern-"two-
thirds water rights Iauoa valley, $780,
600" which the Tax Appeal Court dis
allowed, whereupon the assessor brought
the appeal now decided Robertson &
Wilder appeared for the assessor; ]. "A.
Magoon and ]. Lightfoot for the tax
payer.
The syllabus OF decision reads as fol-
lows:
L
purtenant thereto and used solely In
connection Herewith, is assessed in full,
including whatever added value it has
by reason of such water rights when
used solely in connection Herewith, such
water rights cannot be further assessed
apart from the land, as to the whole or
a part of their value, even If they may
be worth more for other purposes than
when used in connection with the lands
to which they are appurtenant, and even
if the land with such water rights might
have been assessed higher because of the
other purposes to which the water could
be applied, and even if the water rights
could be assessed separately if they had
not been included in the land.
THE COURTS REASONING.
Referring to the bill that passed the
Legislature but was vetoed by the Gov
ernor, providing for the purchase of the
Pauoa water from Booth for $4,000,
the Chief Justice, in affirming the judg-
ment of the Tax Appeal Court, says:
THAT the entire value of the water
rights alone was not 100000 is clear.
IF we leave out of account the Gov
errors strong condemnation of the
proposed bill in his veto message and
OIIleT circumstances tfldl IClIQ 10 WCdhSl
the evidence adduced in support of the
valuation contended for, and assume
that all the evidence was not only adj
MISSILE but entitled to consideration at
its face value, still the proposed appro-
priation was not for the purchase, for
100000, of these two-thirds of the water
rights, which were available only in
small fractions on many different par
ticular lands at many different fixed
times, but was for the purchase, for
$4,000, of all the water rights with
complete control and the power to use
the water when and where and in what
quantities desired, also for rights of way
for pipe lines and for reservoir sites,
and the sites of the springs, with the
right to increase the outflow by tunnel
ing or otherwise, and all for the purposes
of the city water supply, to which use
no private purchaser could put the
water"

JAPAN ANSWERS RUSSIA.

TO THE UNBIASED OBSERVER the
answer OF Japan to the Russian al
legations that the japanese have been
guilty of violation Of international law
by certain acts committed in Korea, is
complete and conclusive. A very dig
ni6ed stand is taken by the japanese
government in the statement given to
the press by its American representa-
tive. a statement received from Japan
several days ago. II is set forth at
the beginning that the Japanese are in
no way concerned about the views or
opinions Of the Russian government,
but if some Of the statements emanat-
ing from st. Petersburg were permit
ted TO go unanswered Incorrect concIu-
sions might be drawn by the neutral
powers.
Replying to the charge that before
the opening of hostilities Japan landed
troops in Korea. neutral country, it
IS admitted that the action specified
was taken before any declaration of
war had been made but not, as all of
US know, before a state of war actual
ly existed. Besides, as the japanese
rea was by permission Of the Korean
government. which permission took
Korea out of the neutral list and ar
rayed it on the side Of Japan. And il
it was wrong for Japan TO land these
troops. why was il not wrong for Rus
sia to send large bodies OF soldiers into
Manchuria while negotiations for peace
were stil under way2
The charge that three days before the
declaration of war the laps attempted
q sudden attack on two Russian war
ships in the harbor of Chemulpo
claimed as a neutral port, the attack
having been made possible through the
malicious stoppage OF the delivery Of
Russian messages by the Danish cable
and the destruction OF the Korean gov
ernments Geographic communication
IS fully answered by the statement that
Chemulpo was not then a neutral har-
Dor. The allegations as To the suppress
sion OF the Russian kilograms and the
obstruction of Korea's telegraphic COM
Inunication is fatty denied. This brings
up a question Of veracity and. as be-
tween Russia and Japan. not many of
US viii hesitate 70 Deileft japan. All
Of the other allegations made by Russia
are denied by Japan and the weight Of
the evidence in one, at least, is on ia
pans side.
This is in reference to the charge that
the Japanese government forwarded a
summons 10 the Russian representative
at Seoul. the capital of Korea, TO leave
the country forthwith with the stan Of
the Russian legation and consulate In
Response TO this the japanese say they
nave a statement in writing from the
French charge daffaires at Seoul 10
thee effect that the Russian minister de-
sired 10 leave. He was told that il he
would Withdraw in a peaceful manner
he could do so, and on giving his con-
sent he was furnished an escort Of Jap
anese troops to Chemulpo. This is very
recent history and it is surprising that
the Russians should have set up any
at.asr claim.
