A GREAT RAILROAD STATION


The plans for the New York Cen.
trails new station in New York City
have just been made public. They
involve the use of an area equal tc
over nineteen city blocks, between
Forty-second and Fifty seventh streets,
Madison and Lexington avenue. There
will be three levels, tho suburban
trains entering on the lowest level.
AT first the station will have some.
thing like 81 railroad tracke. We are
getting go used to things on q big
scale that we are not surprised at any,
thing. yet the achievements of golden
grain belt beer in building up strong
bodies and strong minds are truly
astonishing. If you haven't a case IN
your home, better order today of your
nearest dealer or be supplied BY VIM.

taneously. The farmers Of Holt
county had seen good thing and
they knew it. The county commits
kioners finally tooK the matter up and
made a standing offer to furnish the
drags to all farmers who would use
them, and at one crossroads black
smith shop fifteen drags were made
in one week.
Mr.. King does not claim for his
method perfection, neither does he
say that it will do away with the

he does say that where economy is q

method Ct dragging roads will COM
mend itself to any who Investigate
IL. He says: 1.-THE drag seems to be
the connecting link between the old
and the new; it keeps the old mud
road in the finest possible condition
and creates q desire for the best.''
Mr.. King has discovered from many
trials that the best time to do the
dragging 10 just as the road dries af-
ter q rain or when it is thawed on top
during the winter and early spring.
The dragging should be done after
every rain. Not only is a smooth sur

hesitate about making one which costs
nothing practically but little time
and patience. Some farmers whose
lands adjoin have drags in partner
ship and the work has also been d.
vided with good result, one farmer
attending to the dragging Of the en-
tire road In front of the farms at one
time AMI another the next time the
dragging Is necessary. Mr.. King gives
twenty minutes as q liberal estimate
OF the time necessary to drag half
mile Of road after each rain. It will
readily be saen that that time can be
gained in but one or two trips over
the road. +.
It is net only In rainy weather when
the roads are made muddy that the
value of dragging is apparent. Roads
which are lined with ruts and are un-
comfortable to ride over are improved
beyond measure by the use of the
drag. II a road is gone over after
each rain. the ruts cannot form. The
drag knocks of the rough places: fills
up the ruts, makes the road smooth
and gradually grades the dirt up in
the middle. so that the water runs of
into the bitches at the sides and
leaves the roadbed dry and hard. In
time, read will become, absolutely
smooth and almost as hard as asphalt.
The first dragging of road will do 3
great deal Of good. but after two or
three years the Improvement will be
ten times as marked. >:..-'' Fl.

HE DID HIS DUTY.

It may or not be significant, but the
fact that President Roosevelt declined
to wriSs letters endorsing the Republican
candidates for Governor in Ohio and
Massachusetts and the Republican can
didate for mayor Of New York is never
theless worthy Of interest. Attorney
General Moody took the stump in Mas
sachusetts and 30 did Secretary Root
in New York, and Secretary Bonaparte
in Maryland, while Secretary Taft made
one speech in Ohio, but the President re-
Trained from any personal expression dur.
ing the campaign. He made many
speeches while the campaign was in pro-
gress, but if what he said had any poll
teal significance, in the partisan sense
at all, it was an encouragement to in
dependent voting. Secretary Shaw spoke
of course, in many states, but he is to
retire from the Cabinet on February l.
and is an avowed candidate for the
Presidency, he is not TO be regarded as
a spokesman for the administration.

HELPLESS INDEED.

The shocking barbarities on Christian
missionaries in China are but faint
replica of the atrocities against the Jews
in Russia. We rightly assume that only
savages can be guilty of such horrible
cruelti4s. Yet while the victims in,
China are Christians, protesting Chris
tians are the perpetrators of the atroci,
ties in Russia. Some sort of redress
for the acts of the Chinese fiends, who
may be punished because there is no
redress for the frightful wrongs the
Jews have suffered in Russia. The un.
happy victims are subjects OF Gov
eminent which has placed them under
the ban and refuses to protect them.
No other nation has a right, according
TO the comfy Of nations and the prin-
ciples of international law, to interfere
in their behalf, and they are thus aband-
oned to every torture and outrage brut-
tish malignancy and besotted bigotry
can devise. Surely their fate is one
that appeals to the sympathy OF civil
lied humanity. 1t is horrible to think
that then. is no relief for their suffer
ings, no remedy for wrongs so terrible
and heart-rending.

LIBRARY HEADQUARTERS.

The American Library Association
proposes to create fund for the es'
tabhshment and maintenance OF a ma
tional headquarters for the public Ii,
braries of this country. The scheme is
not only to educate trained Librarians
and assistants but to secure a central
point for the discrimination of data
valuable to the librarian. 1t is observ.
ed with accuracy that few occupations
have increased their opportunities SC
rapidly in the past twenty years and
few have received less skilled labor
With large investments in their care
many custodians of public institutions
know little Of the books on their shelves
and are untitled through lack of proper
education to fill their positions. Som'
of the greater institutions have beei
so fortunate as to secure capable mer
and these libraries are now bringing VI
a generation of apprentices who will b'
able to earn their salaries. But in many
instances, through the great increase il
the number of libraries by the Carnegie
fund and state law or municipal ordi
nance, it has been necessary to appoint
men unable to fill the requirements.

INFLUENCE OF CHILDREN.

The real infence OF children lies in
their exquisite innocence. No man or
woman grown gray in the turmoil and
strain of life can hope to be "as little
child.' The incubus of knowledge is ap-
palling even to the one that has sought
the knowledge and possesses it. The
adult reasons from the hypothesis Of
what he or she knows of life. society,
human conditions, frailities, tempera-
ments, and the thousand and one be-
setting and obligatory rules by which
every event in life is guaged and eriti'
cized. The child reasons from the stand.
point of pure inexperience and every
word it utters and every act it per.
forms, is spontaneous, and being spon.
taneous, it is pure, whatever the tenor
of the word, or character Of the act.
Except We become as little children" is
a text that has driven many a man into
hermitage, because he could not dwell
with men and women and approach the
standard of loveliness demanded by the
great teacher of men.

HIGHEST OF DUTIES.

The first and highest duty Of Board
of School Directors is to safeguard the
innocence and purity Of the children
within its province. This dorse, the
manipulation of the ordinary affairs OF
the district shall receive careful con-
sideration. Primarily, the members OF
the board are responsible to the par
ents of the children for the nature OF
the supervision and care to which they
are subjected, daily. If this is not OF
the cleanest and best and most whole
some, then a direct injury has been
done to every child involved in the
blunder, and like all public blunders
is susceptible only of instant rectifca-
ton at the hands of the blunderers. II

John Paul Jones, as one writer de-
scr1bed him was an oak planted in
flower pot. If he had not burst it's
walls and sent out his roots abroad he
would have died" By birth he was a
Britisher. He was born in the little
town of Arbigland, Kirkcudbright,
Scotland, some thirty miles from the
English bo- Ter. He was the son of
gafdener, and his father wished him
to pursue that same peaceful calling.
But the boy was too big for such a
life. He yearned for a greater sphere
Of action, and instinctively he turned
to the sea. AT the age of twelve he
became a sailor. For years he roved
about the ocean, but even then his lot
was not large enough for him. He was
not content to be an ordinary Jack
Tar, skilled in handling a ship, but
ignorant of everything that wasn't
wet, as he one time said. He studied
every odd moment he had.
Many fiogging he got when a
cabin boy for becoming so deeply in
terested in book that he would not
hear the captains orders One time
when heavy storm had overtaken the
snip, and some of the older sailors were
just on the point of breaking down and
praying, young Paul was discovered
reading in corner of the forecastle.
He was routed out of his seclusion with
a smart box on the ear.

A crowded house greeted the Kane
hameha Alumni Association minstrels
at the Orpheum last night. The pro-
gram was a good one and those par
ticipating in the show did their part
we'll. From the opening to the last
number the interest of the audience
never tagged.
The show opened with a plantation
scene with the members in black face
and attired in cotton pickers' clothes.
There were sonIe good jokes and the
singing was fine. Messrs. Jackson,
Johnson, E K. Allen and s. Smith,
contributed solos with chorus furnish
ed by the whole company. Henry Kaeo
rendered a basso solo entitled THE
Mighty Deep in an excellent manner
and Samuel Lee Thomas gave a South
ern Breakdown. Z. K. Allen made
hit as Rambling Sam and the fun
provoking stunt of Dill and Pickle"
and the 'Up-to-Date Theatrical Agen-
cy." which served to introduce a
mouth-organ soloist and the burlesque
quartet comprising Messrs. Johnson,

tertainment.

WILLIAM P LEWIS
D|EO YESTERDAY

Mr.. VIII P. Lewis, youngest of the
Lewis brothers, died yesterday after
noon at 1925 at the Alexander Young
Hotel. During the preceding night, Mr..
Lewis rested very well, and it was
thought that he might rally sufficiently
to be able to take passage for the
coast on the Sonoma next Tuesday. At
a. m. yesterday Mr.. Lewis collapsed
and from that time on until his death
he sank rapidly.
For the past twelve days Mr.. Lewis
had been critically i'll and was under
medical care, Drs. Mays. Murray and
Taylor being in attendance. In the last
few days there was hope of at least a
temporary recovery so that he might
be removed to the coast.
The remains will be embalmed and
shipped to San FranciSco, his former
home. on the SOnoma, sailing Tuesday
afternoon. Mrs Lewis will take pas
sage on the same steamer. Mrs. Lewis
has been quite i'll recently, but will be
able to travel.
Mr.. Lewis was about 81 years Of age
and was born in San Francisco. He
has been in Honolulu for about two
years. making his residence most of the
time at the Young Hotel.

away with a book times like these?''
demanded one of the crew.
Il wasn't skulkin'," replied the boy
boldly. Il was reading Shakespeare s
Tempest because 1 thought I could
understand it better now than in a
calm.''
Had John Paul Jones been OF a less
expansive nature he might have been
satisfied later to settle down on an
estate beque thed him by his brother
William, near Fredericksburg, Va,
where he took the name of Jones. and
spend the rest of his life in retirement.
Yet when war broke out, the little linn
its of his farm seemed a prison. He
was eager to join the conflict, ana
fight not for but against his mother
country. 1t was cause, not a name,
that he wanted to champion, and, as
he himself expressed it later in a letter
to the Countess of Selkirk:
Though I have drawn my sword in
the present generous struggle for the
right of men, yet l am not in arms as
an American. / profess myself a citi
zen of the world, totally unfettered by
inish the benevolence of the heart and
set bounds to philanthropy.'
In another letter to the French Min
lister of Marine, he wrote:
Il have drawn my sword only from
motives of philanthropy and in support
of tht dignity of human nature"
