Tale Not to the Credit
OF an Island States
man.

There is a story in the shortage in
| the incidental fund of the Public School
Department that goes back TO the meet
ing of the last Legislature. 1t seems
that a certain honorable member of
the House from this very island of Ga
hu was interested in the building of a
school house in a certain place, so the
tale goes. and failed to get the appro-
priation that he wanted put through
for that purpose.
Very WELL" said the honora BILE MEM
Der. when he saw himself defeated in
his pet project. II will get even with
that department.
And he proceeded to get even with it
by having the incidental fund of the
superintendent of Public instruction
cut from $1,000 to $4,000 for the biennial
period. Which was an eminently wise
and statesmanlike thing to do, as the
sequel shows
Superintendent Babbitt was still in
the air, so far as reaching any con-
clusion as to a line of conduct to meet
the deficiency was concerned, yester-
day. According to the latest phase of
the matter. the school department will
have to do a thing this year that it has
never done before. namely ask the
owners of Progress Hail. where the
graduating exercises will be held to
wait for their rent until the legisla-
ture meets. 1t has been suggested that
the exercises be held in the High
School, but if that We're done nobody
but the graduating scholars could get
in. and there are many people besides
the scholars who want to attend the
graduation.
Governor Carter said yesterday that
he would not agree TO preside at a pub
lie meeting, if one were to be called to
consider the school shortage. In fact.
the Governor did not like the notion of
a public meeting at all.
"Only a few might turn out" he said,
IF a meeting should be called, and that
would be worse than doing nothing"
None of the officials, indeed, are very
clear to what should be done in the
present emergency. OF course a public
officer cannot contract debt neverthe-
Tess the SUGGESTION that met with most
favor was to get the people who fur
nish supplies to the school department
to agree to go on furnishing them, and
take a chance for their money, and
then go around to the precinct clubs
and have them pledge their nominees
for representatives to an appropriation
to pay the deficiency debt thus Great
ed. 1t is an unsatisfactory solution
but the whole situation is unsatisfac-
tory

WIDENING BETHEL STREET.

| Editor Advertiser: I was very much
| surprised this morning in reading over
the columns of your valuable paper TO
! notice the suggestion of Mr.. Gartley
| as to the widening of Bethel street.
Now as a taxpayer and citizen I
would like to utter my protest against
the expenditure of public money upon
project which will not be of material
benefit to anybody. while improvements
of vast Importance to hundreds of
property owners are allowed TO languish
because of a lack of necessary money.
Bethel street at the present time is
as wide as either Nuuanu or Fort
street, two of our principal business
streets, and then il has no car line run
ming through it. l, for one, cannot see
but that the carrying out the proposed
widening of said street will cause the
spending of thousands OF dollars in
condemnation proceedings to keep the
street line, as the government strip
only runs half the block and the prop
critics above it will have to be con-
demned.

that are occupied by people who in
most every instance own their home
steads, are desperately in need of bet
ter roads. lights and water service. |
And I hold that in proportion to the |
amount OF taxes paid in to the govern |
ment we residents OF said districts are
entitled to some consideration by our |
public officials
Understand me. Mr.. Editor. while |
do not intend to decry public improve |
ments of any nature I do say that our
limited resources should first be
spent where it viii do the most good |
to the greatest number and then let
more minor matters take their course
Yours truly.

DO YOU

shave yourself with an old
style fazof just because
your father and grand father
and his father before him
did? Think better of it,
don't be a lobster, be with
the procession, not trailer ;
get your feet on the dash
board and use a Gillette
Safety Razor.
1t costs less with a Gil
lette. for shaving SIX
months, than it does to have
an old time blade honed by
your barber. A shave with
Gillette every day takes
less than FIVE minutes be-
fore your bath and keeps
you feeling fine the balance
of the day.
Come to the Hebron
Drug Store this afternoon at
four o'clock and see the
young man shave with
one of the Gillette's; note
the ease with which it is
done and you will throw
away the old style. Face
comfort is worth FIVE cents
a month to any man.

Ancestors, than we have gold"
-Kamehameha G1ee.
A very pleasant social function, and
one whose like there is not in these
islands, was the annual reunion and
banquet of the alumni of Kamehameha
| School for Boys last night. The big
schools on the mainland have these
gatherings. They are a feature of the
school life keeping the graduates who
have pa ssed outside in touch with the
school that has fitted them for the bat
tie with the world. In the islands, it
/ is only Kamehameha that thus keeps
alive old associations
Several hundred persons, graduates
of the school, the alumni and their
guests sat down last night to the dim
| ner that was spread in the school dim
present. Indeed. at least half the gath
ering was ladies. Among the guests
of the alumni We're DR.. and Mrs. Dore-
mus Scudder, Mr. and Mrs J. O. Car
ton Rabbit Mr.. and Mrs. d L. With
ington, Principal Perley Horne of Ka
mehameha, Chief Justice and Mrs.
Frear, Rev. DR.. Kincaid and many
other weI-known people. The menu,
which was excellent, was thoroughly
enjoyed. and after its discussion there
was music by the excellent Kameha-
meha GIee Club.
Then a. G.. Kaulukou, who acted as
POSTMASTER, made a few appropriate
remarks. in which he touched upon the
fact that only Kamehameha of all the
island schools followed the custom of
gathering it's graduates and friends at
an annual reunion and dinner. 1t kept
alive the school spirit, he said. and was
a custom that would always endure in
the school,
DIR. SCUDDER'S REMARKS.
He then introduced DR.. Doremus
Scudder, who said. pleasantly, that he
had agreed to break the ice, which re-
minded him of q story of the baptism
by immersion of an old sinner who had
come up to the mourners' bench i'll
winter. He was Immersed all right. in
a stream where it was needful to break
the ice to perform the rite, and when
he came up gaSping and shiverlng,
from the water he was asked how it
felt and, with teeth chattering, said
that it was not cold. WhereUpon,
brother shouted:
''Souse him in again, brother. He's
liar yet
Then. becoming serious, DR.. Scudder
touched upon the moral duty of the
students and graduates of the Kameha-
meha Schools He had read with great
pleasure, in the morning paper, of the
valedictorian of the years class taking
for the subject of his address the topic
of local option. It showed that there
was in the mind of that young man,
and in the class rooms of the school,
that spirit which had led the great ka-
mehameha to caution his people to be
temperate in the use of liquor, lest they
should be ruined.
A MATTER OF MORALS.
The moral welfare of the future of
these islands rested upon the young
men of the Hawaiian and mixed Chi
nese blood who were educated in TINS
school, and he believed that they would
meet the responsibility. Moral reforms

DR.. Scudder spoke also upon the cor
ruption OF politics, and upon the duty
of the young Hawaiians to so live and
so conduct themselves that the govern
ment would be honestly administered.
superintendent of Schools Rabbit,
introduced next, spoke in high terms of
the spirit of Kameha meha, which en-
abled the pupils of the schools to stand
together, and which would make them
better men and women in the time to
come
Mr.. J. O. Carter, speaking for the
trustees of the school and apologizinS
because he had to speak for E. Faxon
Bishop, who had been unfortunately
kept from being present, spoke of the
high character and noble purpose of
Bernice Pauahi Bishop in seeking TO
help the young people of ner own race

ing over her viii and noting the beau

The sneaker touched upon the char
acter and purposes of Charles r. Bishop,
also VINO had been a true friend or
the Hawaiians, and paid a high tribute
to the courageous and conscientious
work of the teachers of Kamehameha.
Rev DR.. Kincaid spoke upon true
Americanism, and upon how it was TO
be attained only by those who had the
true spirit of the American. 1T does
not matter what the race of man, ne
said whether he be Chinese or Hawai-
ian, or japanese, or white-whether he
be born beneath the stars and stripes

Do You Get
Color Values :?

In the ordinary way of picture
taking, yeIlows will photograph
black, and blues will photograph
white Many other colors will act
the same way on the plate.
But if you use a ray filter you get
the proper value in all colors.
The ray filter fits over the lens
and screens the various rays which
affect the Photographic plate and
gives you much stronger and better
results than without it.

and the people took advantage of it
to come into town and cele brate the
