ton of public obligations. He pai
his respects to the saloon question an
. told how in Indiana in the fourtee
cities where the police boards al
directly responsible to the governol
he had notified them that the Ia,
! must be enforced and when they de-
? clined he appointed boards that woul'
obey and enforce the law. He cite,
instances to show that the fear SOM
entertain that evil results would fol
low to cities that enforced the Law
with regard to liquor selling wer'
groundless.
| He spoke of the financial failures
that had occurred oflate years through
the speculation of bankers, and every
one of them is due to the fact ofgreed,
avarice and the lust of gain, overcoming
regard for the law. So it was with
the life insurance frauds. BESPOKE
of efforts made to save the Indiana
Auditor of State, who had stolen a
hundred thousand dollars Of the
peoples money, from the consequence
Of his crime, because he was refined,
educated, ,lovable man, and had suffer-
ed much from the exposure Of his
wrong-doing. His acts were deplor-
able, but more to be deplored was the
state of public sentiment that led
q, 600 citizens to petition the gov
ernor to pardon him before sentence
had been pronounced. Another man
was fugitive from justice in that state
because he had been detected in trying |
to bribe legislators to sell the right of |
the people to legislate or to prevent
Such bribery had come
to be regarded as matter of course,
q circumstance that was worse for the
future, subversive of law and de-
structive of true patriotism than any
hing else. In Arkansas, and Mass
.chusetts men were in trouble for this
great treason.
He had no great regard for the
uuCn7ranU vr Ulzc uo.----s--~<2,'-0sssf
worse still was the muck heap, and he
hoped the latter would be swept away.
He again assevted he was an optimist
md saw signs of better days. His at
;acks on the violators of the law and
of them had led some
20 call them Jeremiahs, and he felt
bad until he searched the Bible and
found that jeremiah when the Jews
we're about to be carried into captivity
IN account of their political and ma
;ional corruption, had such faith in
his peoples future that he purchased
he inheritance of relative who
wanted to dispose of what appeared
% be valueless. We would be hope
es for the future of the country ifthe
people were corrupt and contented,
but today they are profoundly discon-
tented and dissatisfied. He paid tri-
butte to jerome, Folk and others who
are honestly trying to advance the
patriotism Of peace by upholding the
supremacy of law, and was glad that
half were republicans and half dem
,crats in this work. He would feel
terribly scared if they were all demo-
Gratis. Men can sin until they think
sin is vested right. The need OF the
country is concentrated citizenship.
The speaker closed with an. eloquent
appeal to conservation.

It may encourage charity and breathe

Teach the children to be kind to
the unfortunate in life, and never
to make gans of any, for heaven loves |
and pltles the poor end humble. Let |
conversations at home be pure; help
the children with their lessons at
night and see that they give proper
time to their lessons while at home,
and to be respectful to their teachers.
And. again I say, help them with
their lessons. Of course, there are
same aag:sats- who are unfortunate and
the more should they give them the
of studying, that they may
profit wherein they themselves have
erred. Even if fancy work is laid a.
side and the little dresses are to be |
plain, give more time and interest to
improving the mind, for how much
better, says Ruskin, is soul and
mind well cared for, than fine dress.
For when refining qualities surround
the home, the home will influence the
school, and the school influence the
community. Around the home hearths
may lie the serpents coiled to strike |
with its poisoning fangs the prattling
child about it's mothers knee.
So invoke the guardian angel of
peace to hover over your home nest,
that you may be secure under the
shadow of his wings.

JUST NOW

we are getting what is known as q mad dog scare, but up to date we nave heard of only two occasions of anyone being bitten, and both of them are only Do;i( emen. Now the officials who lave the power to do so have decided that all dogs shall bef muzzled, ana goodness knows that any dog that Is foolish enough to take a bite out or any of orr cops should be muzzled. Yes, they should be put to- death and q horrible ole at that because we must remember our brass buttoned anntlemeG are a necessity as well as gn ornament and any naughty dog Chat has the audacity to touch one or tllem should receive the full penalty of law. Say, it's queer how people are 60 much afraid of being poisoned by ahe bite of dog, and yet there are lots of occasions where thelr healtn Is ill more danger by tpartaklng ol Bome of the beverages they drink. UT course we all know intoXicants are dangerous. but where a person is com Delled to drink poor, badtasting tea or coffee when they could get the nice tasting, good quality at our store for the same price. it's downright shame.

A daughter was born yesterday to Mir and Mrs Richard H. Pierce of 2 Rye street.
 A box of rubbish in the cafe at the Connecticut hotel on Center street, started to shoulder yesterday after noon and fearing that it was some thing serious telephone message was sent to the fire department. There was no damage.
 James Russell of Pemberton street. a boy about II years of age, while skating on Wolcott street yesterday was attacked and bitten by rabbit dog. It is not thought that the injury is serious. The order of the mayor that all dogs be muzzled or kept con- fined goes into effect tomorrow. Su- perintendent Beach says that he in- tends to see that it Is enforced, which means that if you care anything about your pet you will put a muzzle on it before retiring tonight. Bear in mind that the muzzle be so constructed as to prevent the dog from biting. X strap or two tackled onto the animals collar and running around it's nose is no safeguard and the authorities will not accept it. ......

THE COUNTRY
CLUB 4 60
Will Sell Some Lots for
Homes TO Club
Members.

The Country Club is going to be a
Rookie place, on the Eva side of Nuu-
anu valley just opposite the govern
ment electric light plant and it is
proposed to sell enough lots TO club
members on the lower part of the tract
to pay for the building of the club
house and other improvements, and
purposes.
The club has not. as yet, been Or
ganized formally, although the plans
for the clubhouse are now being drawn
by Architect Kerr. The old Rookie prop
erty, where the club is to be quarter
ed, is well known to old timers in
acres in the tract, of which about
ninety are good land, the lines run
ming up to the top of the steep range
of hills on the EVA side of the val
ley. lease of TINS property has been
secured from the owner, now in Eng
land, and the papers are all here ready
to be signed as soon as the club is
organized. The lease runs for five
years. with the privilege of purchase
for twenty-six thousand dollars at any
time within that period but if the
club gets properly on it's feet the out
right purchase will be made at once:
The club project has behind it such
men as Governor Carter, Faxon Bis
hop, Tenney Peck. Paul Isenberg, Ned
Adams and others, and it is figured
that not less than two hundred men,
bers will be secured for the club as a
starter. To any or all of these lots
will be sold on easy terms and at
reasona BILE rates, and a suburb will be
built up that will answer relatively to
the town of Burlingame, which is the
resort of the rich men of San Fran
cisco.
On the grounds reserved for the club
there will be laid out golf links,
tennis courts and probably a polo field,
and there will be swimming pools and,
in fact, all those adjuncts calculated
to make time pass pleasantly. or
course only beautiful homes will be
built, and none but the most desira-
BILE class of purchasers will get lots.
These lots viii be good buys, and
doubtless in great demand. A num-
Der of gentlemen who propose join
ing the club have already viewed the
property and give the project their
approval, and large party will visit
the place on Sunday morning.
The present financial plan is to have
ten men put up $500 apiece to start
the club. and then fix charter fee
for ordinary members.

.BOUGAI hVILlEA
FOR ROOF GARDEN

Alexander Young may always be
credited with doing something that is
public-spirited. something to make the
city of Honolulu more attractive and
comforta BILE, not only TO islanders but
to strangers. The Roof Garden of the
Young Hotel is one of the prettiest
places of the kind in the world, it is
said by tourists, and he now proposes
to make it even more beautiful. The
roof garden already has myriads of
potted palms, crotons and shrubs,
while abe Waikiki parapet is adorned
with trailing vines. 1t is now design
ed, with the assistance of Mr.. McIn-
tyre, the landscape gardener. to raise
a wire canopy over a portion of the
roof and then to train the beautiful
bougainvillea vine over the same.
When in bloom this canopy will be
one of the most attractive in the city.
Manager Gray of the Young Hotel is
quite enthusiastic over the new idea.
Nearly all of the ported plants on the
roof are to be re-potted.
