ington
On Sunday last the Post.Intelligenc-
or had occasion, in dicussing the en-
forcement of the law to quote the
opinion of a Judge in Mississippi, who
in charging the grand jury, declared:
"Ths United States is today the most
homicidal spot on the map OF the world
claiming to be decent" and who furth-
or said; 81 have no sympathy for the
criminal who joins in with the devil to
overthrow civilized government and
to destroy humanity"
With three murders in this city in
hardly more than twice that number OF
weeks, Seattle is face to face with re-
cord for which she is stamped with
shame by the press Of the United States.
But what can be expected OF city
which not only tolerates but encOurag-
es a newspaper establishment which. in
the face of one murder cries "venge-
ance." in bloody letters stretched
across an entire page, and in another
issue of its spawn directly incites the
latest murder by the use of the follow
ing language: "If George Mitchell was
justified in killing the man with whom
the his sister had cohabited and whom
the courts of Oregon had punished,
how much greater would be the justi.
hcation of Mrs. Crefeld, if she were 10
sheet down the man who killed her
husband in cold blood" However
these words were meant they clearly
incite to murder.
No words of horror and reprobation
are adequate to express the common
sentiment of all right thinking men
and women at such utter depravity and
degradation of the liberty OF the press
in the United States.
1t is perhaps not surprising that, IN
community protesting to be civilized
that will tolerate the utterance and
publication of such sentiments cOncer-
ing the greatest crime that man can
commit; that men can be found to pro-
pose, as has been done already, to ap'
ply to the person responsible for, and
uttering such sentiments, remedy
that in itself is a crime precisely ana
lagous to the one reprObated.
There must be no more incltatlon te
murder permitted in this city under
any circumstances. There is not

interested in berry growing. 1t is
we'll to remember this one thing: That
there can hardly be such thing as an
overprOduction of berries.
The berry growers of Puyallup val
ley are harvesting one of the largest
and best crops Of red raspberries ever
produced in that section. They report
an exceptionally good prospect for
blackberries, and will be engaged in
picking, packing and shipping fruits
for several weeks. The crop will pro-
badly return more than $4,000 to the
people of Sumner and Puyallup. An
interesting feature about the work is
the combining of the two home associa-
tions and agreeing on prices for the
season. The agreement is signed by
representatives OF the local organiza-
tiOns and the merchants to whom ber-
ries are shipped. 1t will establish
prices and prevent cutting by members
OF either association.
Consumers of fruits are not interest.
ed in the amount of money the growers
receive. They realize that certain
prices must be paid and are always
prepared to give whatever the dealers
ask for choice fruits. The growers
have discovered this fact and propose
getting all the profit possible from the
berry farms. 1t is an indication of
better times for all concerned. It
marks new era in handing fruits that
will be Of permanent benefit to the pro-
Queer and consumer. 1t brings them
into closer commercial relationship.
The element of gambling or specu-
lation in perishable crops of the farm
er connot exist long where prices are
fixed and the fruits not consigned at
any figure that may be returned.
The associations at Puyallup an

On the plea that the reserves of the
company were depleted by the San
Francisco losses, the fire insurance
trust is holding up property holders
for % per cent increase ia rates. AT
the same time many of the companies
have been trying to settle with theil
San Francisco policy holders at IS cents

The demand for increased rates is
unjust and extortionate. This great
trust has been paying for many years
enormous profits to it's stockholders.
In their greed for dividends the com
panies allowed their reserves to stand
too low, and now that the extraOrdin-
airy losses of the San Francisco fire
have cut in.o those reserves, the com
panies in their greed, are trying to
go on paying fat dividends and build
up their reserves again at the public
expense.
Year in and year out, over long
range of time. the fire insurance com.
panies of the United States have been
collecting two dollars from the public
for every dollar paid in fire losst S.

United States collected in 1903, in

S2l6 200, 600 and paid out SIP, 1000, 600:
and so on over long range of years
For example in 1890 they collected
Sl57, 900, 900 and paid out only s75,O00,-

An increase of . per cent in 1903
would have put into the Golfers Of this

with vengeance, At this rate they
would recoup themselves for their en-.

The Cherry Slug.

Just now there is much complaint Of
the ravages of the cherry slug in the
orchards of the valley and as some may
not know just what to do, will give you
very simple remedy. During the
middle OF the day, take fine road dust
and thoroughly stray it on the leaves of
the trees, with flow pipe, shovel or
any other instrument you choose, just
so you cover the leaves we'll with the
dust.

THE LUCKY THIRTEEN.

She left the house and stole away
And made Il nest up in the hay;
And then one time, along in May.
She introduced to us one day
Her thirteen downy chicks.
She had right to cluck and strut,
For when of eggs there was "a glut,
She quit the JOB OF laying, but
Her works do follow her-tut, tut.
She comes with thirteen chicks.
One day, when we forgot to latch
The garden gate, she took her hatch
And sauntered down the garden patch
And my how she did scratch
For thirteen hungry chicks.
She has no equal IN her class
For quickly raising garden sass
When she's just lett to go To grass, -
But that's our fault, SO let it pass,
We need her thirteen chicks.

that he would decide the same as De
Bolt, or by habeas corpus proceedings
before De Bolt, and then the Territory
could take appeals. Peters said he
did not see any great occasion for
worry, as he did not think that De
Bolts decision would be sustained by

TO ROUND Up TRUANTS

Superintendent of Public instruction
Babbitt yesterday afternoon conferred
with the probationary officers, giving
them an earnest talk on the subject of
school truants. Probationary officers,
serving by virtue OF the Juvenile Court
Act, who attended the conference
were: Senator c. II. Dickey, who is
known as the father of the Juvenile
Court law here; Rev. ]. II. Ryder, The.
odore Richards, James II. Boyd, Attor.
ney c. r. Hemenway. Rev. Il. b. Tur.
ner Father stephen, Rev. J. A. Rath
and Lyle A. Dickey.
II was decided that the principals Of
the various schools be given lists Of
those schools at present having yacan.
cies for children and that the teachers
furnish lists of truants to the proba.
tionary officers of the various districts,
the probationary officers to use their
discretion in regard to what disposi.
ton should be made OF the children,
whether they shall be arrested or not.
Where children are found to have
staid away from school for long pc.

some at least we're primed with the
query, What's the use?"
Since Honolulu has advanced so far
beyond its previous record for civic
unity and vigorous promotion. IL
would be unkind and perhaps unjust 20
offer a, word of criticism. Our people
must remember. however. that in com
munity AFFAIRS as in private business
affairs, the only assured method of sue.
cess Is to keep constantly at IT, This
is especially true of anything and ey-
erything allied vita promotion work.
The yacht race, for instance, has
been advertised from one end of the
country to the other. Should Hawaii
fail to do its natural sportsmanliks
part in this event, its neglect incapac.
ity or Indifference will be as widely adj
Vertised
1t is not true that Hawaii will re
main a tourist center without added
work and expenditure on the part of
our people. IL is not true that the
business delegation has been turned
down by Congress. 1t Is not true that
the money expended on this trip is
wasted. IL the present Congress should
not pass the bill at this session. IL ia
not true that the yacht race will sail
itself to success without further assist
ance from Hawaii, the promoter.
II is not true that the public spirited
! enthusiasm in evidence a few weeks
ago, is dead.
The period of depression is here. and
the sooner the people recover them
selves the better. The Islands are not
poverty smitten. though teachers may
be expected TO do janitor work.
There is no time like the present for
citizens OF Hawaii to enthuse, and
prove that they mean It by supporting
the yacht race. Then enthuse over the
next good work that comes along. and
incidentally support II.

probationary officers Mr.. Babbitt said
that Mr. Gibson, in charge of the Wal
alae school, had arranged a system of
merits and dement's. If boy sue.
ceeded in obtaining 5000 merits. he
was paroled. provided some suitable
place was found where he could go to
work or find home. Mr.. Babbitt
wanted the same system introduced in
the Girls Industrial School. II might
be harder TO find homes for the girls,
however.
Senator Dickey said the object of the
law was to keep children out of the
reformatories rather than to put them
there.
Theodore Richards said that In
some cases, so well conducted were
the reform schools that some parents
were glad to get children there. He
knew this by experience. Some people
were glad to be relieved of parental re-
sponsibility. As q matter of fact, the
children in many cases had far better
advantages at the reform schools than
they had at home.
Mr. Babbltt spoke well of the Waia.
lee school. Last year. he said. n.
penses amounted to about $4,000. In
certain way IL cost as much for a
few inmates as for a goodly number
There were now 81 pupils. BY and by,
when the school acquired all the taro
land that was its due. II would be able
to supply taro on the outside, besides
supplying the institution.
James Boyd thought II advisable
that probationary officers should have
power TO arrest truants. He himself
had special police commission. He
advised that all officers secure com.
missions. Mr.. Babbitt promptly said
he would take the matter up with the
Sheriff.
1t was brought out that one Of the
tricks OF children to get out of school
was 10 ask for a transfer from one
school to another and then fail TO pre-.
sent themselves at the school to which
the transfer was made. Mr.. Babbitt
thought II might be inconvenient to
have teachers reporting to probation.
airy officers. II might be better to
have them report to Judge whitney.
Lyle Dickey thought It would be better
to avoid, as far as possible, having
boys brought into court. II was then
that the system noted above was
agreed on. Mr.. Rabbit thought that
by following out the idea all truants
would be eventually rounded up.

IR MOTION / & 2RESS!ON

Waves Of enthusiasm in Hawaii are
Invariably followed by morning-aftei
feeling OF depression and a temporary
conclusion at least that the doll is all
sawdust.
a few weeks ago the arrival OF many
visitors gave material demonstration
of the great value of promotion work
done, after a long, hard struggle FOL
funds. Everyone spruced up and fell
happy. The Improvement Clubs vera
forming, everything was lovely.
During this period OF enthusiasm
public spirit and business energy rose
10 the point OF sending the delegation
Of business men on to Washington. Ho
nolulu began to show real American
vim and all admitted that although
some OF these things cost money in thr
first place they were such ventures 40
were worthy the moral and financial
support OF large and small concerns.
The wave OF civic zeal reached It's
climax on Washington's birthday when
the floral pau parade was all AMI
more than had been expected.
Immediately after, some OF our good
citizens apparently began to wonder
whether they had not done enough.
The tourists were here and the Sailors
Home needed little money, so II
might not be harmful to squeeze the
promotion funds a little. When the
business delegates reached Washing
ton, the country didn't tip up. conse.
quently some one decided the money
was wasted, and said so. Later an in
diyidual In Washington wrote to q
friend in Honolulu that he didn't be.
lieve Hawaii could ever get its bill
through, because there is so much op.
position to 1t, and each member OF
Congress has not said he will vote fo'
It.
Thus the period OF depression goi
started, the pessimlst improved the OPP
portunity and the knocker put in i
rap as occasion offered When tha
canvass for funds to properly handle
the trans-Pacific yacht race, for which
Hawaii stands sponsor, was started,

Ways of the law always were past
finding out, for the layman. Here we
have a park, Territorial property, con-
trolled by Territorial Board OF Com
missioners appointed by tina Governor.
This park may receive liberal contri-
buttons from the County. The public
schools, also controlled by the Terri
tory, may not. Yet lawyers do these
things and never crack a smile.

Honolulu gives $1,000 a month or less
TO its Promotion Committee. Recent
ly several members OF the Denver
Chamber Of Commerce announced that
they would be among hundred to give
$1,000 each per annum for the purpose
of advertising Denver and Colorado.
That is the sort Of people with which
Hawaii is In competition. What we
are now doing is but drop in the
bucket Of what should be done.
