NEEDS OF THE LIBRARY

We believe II was the Rev. Doremus
Scudder who uttered something to the
effect that Honolulu might have public
spirit, but II finds comparatively little
expression in what Is done for the pub
lie library. Probably Rev. Doremus will
say that he didn't mean exactly as the
Bulletin has put 1t. Whether he does
or not, the thought Is to the point.
There is no discounting the amount
OF excellent work done by the mana
gers to keep the Honolulu Library up
TO its present standard. Nothing but
praise is due the few persons of
wealth and good motives through
whose generosity the library exists.
The Honolulu Library, however, is not
the institution it should be to exem-
plify the public spirit OF this city. This
may be another way of saying that We
have very little public spirit.
In the first place the building Is an
insignificant affair when compared
with the public libraries Of mainland
cities. As a collection Of brick and
mortar II does not stand forth as rep,
resenting especially high ideals.
But the appearance or the accom-
modations of the building could be
overlooked If the institution possessed

JUDGE CLARK OF KONA

As I understand, he has had these

Cial way, because he Is lined in with
those who favor Law and order, he Is
called drunkard. and alarm is taken
at his "beastly intoxication".
Now, in Kona at least no one should
take fright at an intoxicated man. He
forms part of Kona's lovely land
scape. He gyrates picturesquely on
the slopes Of the mountain. Like the
prayers of the Turk, his alterations
fall from the housetops.
He practices medicine, and law, and
sits on the Bench.
So far as Judge Clark Is concerned,
he Is and has been an impartial Judge,
and many can testify to his fair deci.

He is honest. pays his bills out of a
small salary, minds his own business
and stays at home when he isn't in
the court room. He is a d-n sight

those who accuse him.

that all-important characteristic which
fulhlls a first ideal--a free library.
The men and women under whose
care the books have been selected and
funds expended to the best advantage,
deserve better of the city. Their time
and thought has been given to the
people freely. Their only requests
have been for means that they might
do mOre,-not for themselves, but for
the people whom they serve without
money or price. Yet after all these
years OF philanthropc work, the priv.
lcge of taking books from the Homo.
lulu Library is monopolized by those
having the price. 1t is superiluous to
tell an intelligent community that a
library with such limitations is lack.
ing In one OF its first essentials.
Public libraries OF the present day
are hardly classed as public when
available only to the few able to pay
a fee. The purpose Of such an institu-
ton should be to educate all, rather
than serve as convenience for those

intellectual ambition.

should by their patronage do what they

President Gomper's Views.

Speaking of the labor movement in
general, and with special reference to
the recent convention Of the American
Federation OF Labor at MINNEAPOLIS.
Mimi. President Gompers says:
The twenty-sixth annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor
VIII unquestionably go down in his
tory as the greatest and most potential
convention ever held in the history OF
labor in America. 1t was a great gath
erlng OF intelligent representatives Of
the toiling masses, bent upon perform
ing the important duties and furthering
the vast interests committed to their
care. The delegates discussed and de-
termined the large number of important
subjects with a fixed purpose to not
only judge rightly, but turned aside
propositions calculated to in any way
mar the unity of purpose, sentiment,
fraternity and solidarity of labor. 1t
formulated and approved measures hav-
ing for their purpose the organization
of the yet uno.7 7sanized workers, To ce-
ment the bOnI of brotherhood more
fully, and to devise ways and means for
carrying on a still more intense cam
paign for the material. moral, social and
political welfare Of the toilers, of the
masses OF all our people"
President GOmpers states that the con-
VentiOn entered into an understanding
with the organized farmers OF the coun-
try that he believes will unquestionably
grow into more harmonious and mutu-
ally advantageous relations for the good
of all.

Coolie Labor IN Panama.

The visit of one Senator and ten
Representative TO the canal zone, for
the purpose of looking into the question
OF the employment of cOolie labor in
Panama. has given an impetus 10 this
much-mooted question. Senator Flint
and Representative McKinlay. and
KnowIand OF California, FullIerson Of
Missouri. Dickson, Rives, Mckinley, and
Smith Of Illinois. Howell of Utah, Kin
kaid Of Nebraska, and SteernersOn Of
Minnesota, are now In Panama for the
purpose Of making q i've days inspec-
ton Of the Isthmus and learn for them
selves conditions in the canal zone.
The question as 10 whether cOOlie
labor shall dig the canal is one OF
particular interest 10 the Pacific coast "
said Representative McKinlay before
leaving for Panama, "and 1 personally
shall pay special attention 10 the condi-
tions OF labor in Panama. as there is an
intense feeling against Asiatic labor on
the coast
The officials of the American Fedora
sion of Labor have taken a strong stand
against the employment OF Chinese la
borers in the canal work. on the ground
that there are already IN this country
hundreds Of thousands Of laborers OF
the Italian and other southern races
adapted IN every way To the class OF
work being done at Panama.
President GOmpers has stated the
position Of the Federation on the sub
ject Of cocIie labor for Panama, as fol-
lows; I'VE recognize the Importance Of
and the great value involved, and We
earnestly hope for. and Will gladly aid
in, its completion; but we can but pro-
test that the great generous, and broad
minded American people should not be
placed in such a position Of brutality
and parsimony SO far as wages, hours
Of labor, and conditions of employment
are concerned Where our people are
SO liberal and fair IN all things else.
they can not and viii not consent 10
assume the attitude OF sOrdid, heartless
employers"
President Gompers stated that there
are now under consideration contracts
for the employment of thousands Of
Chinese on the canal work at wages as
low as 81 cents a day.

who had filed up on Christmas booze
and ran amuck. The wounds are not
serious. but are painful, one of the shot
having struck very near the eye. The

gun. A number of people were wounded,
including deputy sherifr. Mr.. Waudby
was in his room at his hotel when the

tion. with the result that he received

HOW WILLARD ESCAPED
FROM A RUT OF vILLAINY

There was a time when Z. S. Willard
was in danger OF getting into a most
unpleasant rut. He had a reputation
fo~ playing villains. and all the man
ayers wanted 10 cast him for villain
parts. He had other views. however.
and set out TO prove that vtllainy was
not his only fate. He accomplished this
as Cyrus Blenkarn in ''The Middleman."
Then the opinion grew that the finer
sort OF mclOdrama was his best line, and
he proceeded to check IL by going 10
the extreme OF The Professors Love
Story" proving that he was quite as
much at home with delicate sweet COM
edy as with stirring pathOs OF clever
knavery Now, when the public had al
most come To the conclusion that his art
was adapted to lightness and humor,
MI Willard suddenly adds to his roper
tOire one OF the most intense, vivid. and
trying character bits conceivable, and
has made one OF his most distinctive
successes as Austin Limmason in a
stage version Of KipIing's The Man
Who Was" Now he has just about
proved that when Mr.. Willard thinks
thing is worth doing at all, he will do

Many of the tobacco warehouses and
stemmeries in Lexington and other CEN
tral Kentucky towns have recently an
nounced a new policy in regard TO en-
ploying help for their establishments
which may bring to an issue the ques-
ton Of child labor. and afford an op-
portunity to test the child labor law of
that State, II Is proposed TO employ
white women and girls TO perform all
the labor that does not require mascu-
line strength alone. IL Is claimed that
the women and girls will perform as
much work for from s. to 81 per week as
the men. who have been receiving from
81 to S1.5O per day. 1t is believed that
a test case viii soon be brought in order
TO define the limitations of the right Of
both sides.
In this connection il is interesting TO
note the progress already made toward
securing anti-child labor legislation at
this session of Congress. The bill to
regulate the employment of child labor
in the District OF Columbia has passed
the House and is now before the Senate,
having been reported favOrably by the
