NOT BEST
Many Defects in the Nelson
 School Law

There are some serious defects in the Nelson law, authorizing the formation of district schools in uninCorporated Alaskan communities, according to the opinion of W. A, Kelly, assistant super intendent of education in Alaska, act ing under the bureau of education at the national capital. One of these de- fleets is the provision that only five months of school can be maintained in one year and that only one teacher can be employed. Another is condition which requires 20 white children to re- side iu a proposed district before the court will authorize the formation ot the district, while in another portion ot the law is the inconsistent provision that creoles, or children of Russian and Indian mixture, when they have sev- cred their tribal relations from the na. tives, shall be provided with schooling at the white schools.
 Referring to the defects, Mr. Kelly said:
 "Under the law, large communities, such as Sltka, Kodiak, Unalaska, Haines and other places, where they have ample funds to maintain a school for 8 longer time, only five months school are permitted. h some of these towns they have too many children for one teacher and ample money with which to pay two or more, but the school board is limited to the employ ment of one teacher.
 "The school revenues in the Sitks district amount to more than S3OOO and we have more children than one teach CT can conveniently care for.
 "The inconsistency in the require ment that 20 white children must be in a proposed district before it will be es- abolished and the provision that chiI- dren of mixed blood can attend these district schools has become apparent out to the Westward where there are quite large enough to support schools, where there are more than a sufficient number of school chil- dren, but where less than 20 of them are white.
 "Under the law, as it is now, there is too much red tape in the manner of se- curing the license moneys which are supposed to go to the schools. While the law provides that the people are entitled to all the license fees paid by those residing in the district, the money Is forwarded to Washington and refunded only after much delay"
 The schools in incorporated towns and school districts, organized under the Nelson law, do not come under the jurisdiction of Mir. Kelly. They are directly managed by the people through school boards elected by them. Gov, Brady is given general supervis- ion over the organized white schools.
 Mr, Kelly is concerned with the na- tive schools, which are conducted by the bureau of education. Sheldon Jackson is Alaskan superintendent un- der this bureau.
 Mir. Kelly has just completed tour of inspection of Alaskan schools in his department. The points he has visited iu Southeastern Alaska include Sha- kan, Howkan and Klawack, where they have built Indian schools during the last summer. He also visited Sulzer, Coppermount and other places. He will leave on the Cottage City for Sit ka, his home.

COMMITTEE OF SENATE
HEARS RAILWAY TALK
Continued from Page p

main" in cGndemning private property
for its purpo es.
II. IL the above view of the posi-
binties of this measure be inconsistent
with the present purposes of Mr.. Lucas
and his associates the privileges sought
for, nevertheless, are so sweeping and
comprehensive that | feel warranted in
pointing out to the committee in what
manner these rights might be exer-
cised to the great harm, not only of
the public, but of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit u Land Company, which, in
all fairness should not, l submit be
exposed, through special legislation, to
competition of this kind, nor, indirectly
through taxation, to the necessity of
paying its share of a subsidy to its
own undoing.
u. 1t would seem fitting that the
promoters of this scheme now disclose
their identity and show to the salts
faction of your committee that they
have fair prospect of building the
line Mr.. Lucas having informed me
that he had no special interest in the
.,iil and had allowed his name to be
used at the request of the Senator who
has introduced it, who is the only other
person who has appeared before your
committee to champion the measure.
As per Section 81 of Act 60 Laws of
1898 the Rapid Transit franchise was
not made effective until a company
was formed with a minimum capital of
4 two hundred thousand dollars to I'M
dertake and prosecute construction. to
which all of the rights and privileges
of the franchise were unreservedly as
signed.
Finally. 1 submit that the Honolulu
Rapid Transit & Land Company has
accepted it's franchise and has carried
out its obligations hereunder in good
! faith. giving the Honolulu public a
street car service equal to the best
/ found anywhere in the United States.
1t has invested in the railway upwards
| of one and a half million dollars, upon
which, in the five years of its existence
but SS3,3S4.00 has been returned to its
shareholders in dividends, while dur
ing this period. as stated. the Territory
has received from it over 100000 in
taxes.
If there be a need for any further ex-
tension of its service the company is
prepared to meet il. and with its com
prehensive system and free transfers
it is in far better position to satisfy
any demand than could a new company
which would charge a re2araga fare.
And I would urge upon your commit.
tee that 10 authorize the construction

LIBEL SUITS.

Libel damage suits are poor invest
mont for anybody. Some time ago 2
California paper cast up the libel cases
for the past year in the State and found
that of $500, 900 damages claimed. YER
diets for the plaintiff only realized one
fourth of one per cent. For the amount
of time and capital invested and of the
profits hoped for, the dividends from
! California libel suits are scarcely larger
than those obtained by the famous
syndicate organized to extract gold
from seawater. Ard what is said OF
California is true of most other parts
of the United States.
Many libel suits, some not unknown
to Hawaii are not seriously brought
at least not seriously in the eXpecta-
ton of cash returns. We have known
men. in process of press exposure for
their nisdeeds, who brought libel suits
to direct the public eye from themselves
Ia the other fellow-to change the sub
iect as it We're. The bigger the scala
wag the more likely he is to draw such
herring bone across the scent. Others
sue for mere bluff. trying thereby, to
brighten the newspaper from its plain
duty. Few such suits ever come to
trial.
one reason, in cases that are fought
out, why the verdict is usually for the
defendant if the latter happens to be
a reputable newspaper, is that the
American distrusts all attempts to
abridge the freedom of the press. He
knows, if he is intelligent, that but for
the press, this land today would be
overrun by scamps. Here in Hawaii
the press. though late at the work,
saved poor old Summer from being de-
voured by legal beasts of prey; it has
stopped the loot of estates by highly
feed receivershfps; it has put down get
rich quick concerns: it has brought
dishonest legislators and chiefs of de-
partments to book and driven some of
them into exile. Direct personal at
lacks have had to be made in these
cases because direct personal offences
had been committed; libel suits have
followed. and the power Of the courts
has even been misused to muzzle the
newspapers, yet utterly without result.
With scarcely an exceptional case the
people have stood by the newspapers
and seen them through, conscious that
harsh, the provocation has been fairly
met and the greatest good to the great
est number sought and usually secured.
