that which he hears, it is an easy matter to make
a fool of him. All that is necessary is to an
nounce with loud and long enough blast upon
the educational trumphet, that your writer, speak

scientific and philosophic matter.
His auditors may not understand, may not
get his thought, but they will be all the more i'm
pressed on that account The thought will never
occur to such auditors that the reason they do
not understand is because there is nothing to un-
derstand, but their worshipful feeling will cause
them to conclude that the subject Of discourse is
too ''broad and deep" too wide and high" for
them to comprehend, and be impressed accord
ingly.
Better be self-worshipper there is some
chance for character of this kind, for he may
come to see the futility, emptiness, and unworthi
ness of all human attempts to solve the great
problems of life and death. Such an one may
look within his own heart at the rottenness OF
his own nature, then in his helplessness and dis
tress he may cry out into the surrounding dark
ness and mystery, he may sound the wailing note
that will be quickly heard and quickly answered
by his God, the Saviour of his soul.
The pride of man revolts at the idea Of hum
bleness or establishment, but there is no escap-
ing it. All must pass through the experience, but
between the worshiper of God and the idolater

himself, the other before some object less than

Route in the bill violates the ex-
elusive franchise on the strength of
which the Oahu Railway was built.
Il is true that the bill seeks to avoid
technical violation by excluding
steam from this route, but the o. r.
q l.. Company was given an exclusive
franchise for steam railroad only be-
cause that was the only motive power
not be robbed of it's franchise merely
because a new motive power has been
invented.
The bill should contain a provision
prohibiting the condemnation of other
railroads running in the same general
direction. Neither the tracks of the
Rapid Transit Company nor the o. r.
& L. should be subject to condemna-
ton except for the purpose of crossing.
VI.
The proposed railroad should not be
allowed to run directly through the
yard of the o. r. Ss l.. as now pro-
posed. There are many other ways
of coming into the city from the west,
which would obviate this interference.
VII.
The rate Of fares specified is eXorbi-
tant as applied to the district of Kona.
The Rapid Transit Company is obliged
TO carry passengers through the city
for distance of about seven miles for
a five-cent fare.
VIII.
The exemption from taxes and grant
of subsidy should both be stricken out.
With two railroads in the field govern
ment subsidies would be more econ-
omicalIy applied to their extension

pared to extend its lines wherever it
believes the traffic would pay for ita

put on the same basis.

AHU RAILROAD BRIEF.

OAHU RAILROAD BRIEF.
February 27, 1905
This is a wide open" franchise
Practically no restrictions are laid on
the method of construction THE best
modern practice" is too indefinite to
mean anything. There are no restric-
tionS as to:
/. Gauge
2. Style of rails
3. Up-keep of public streets through
which the railroad may run.
l. Safety appliances at grade cross
ings OF city streets.
5. Safety appliances at grade cross
ings of existing rails.
No penalty f forfeiture of franchise
or ot.aerwise is attached to the fail
ure to complete 10 miles within the
time limit, So that this provision be-
comes useless.
That portion of the proposed road
lying between Diamond Head and the
harbor is one from which a steam rail-
road should be absolutely barred AS
some one has pointed out. it would cut
a series of grade crossings. which if
the experience of American cities be
any guide, would have to be removed
by the next generation at an enormous
expense. A steam railroad. even
though built according to the best
modern practice" would ruin and dis
figure Kapiolani Park and that por-
ton of Waikiki through which it ran.
The Rapid Transit Company attempt
ed to secure permission to haul by
steam over it's Waikiki and Queen
street lines. such use to be limited to
night hours, but the provision was
stricken ont of the bill.

The valuable part of the proposed
line is between Kalihi and Diamond
