special act OF providence, out we
have been educated to believe
that our lives are in many in
stances saved by direct Divine in
reference with natural law, and
it follows as a logical sequence
that men should assume Divine
act in the death of men. One
belief is the natural result of the
teaching of the other.
1t is source of much gratifi-
cation to THE NEWSPAPER, that
its efforts for municipal owner
ship of our utilities have at last
received the reinforcement of the
Gazette's influence. That publi-
cation was so discreet and silent
for so long that we feared Bro.
Frederick would not make up his
mind until the plant was oPerat-
ing, and it is pleasure to know
that he will give the weight of his
influence to this reform at time
when it will do some good. We
think so much of the argument
advanced by the Gazette that we
clip and reprint it herewith.
That municipal ownership can
be success in Paonia is eviden-
ced by the way our young water
system is progressing, the rentals
for this quarter, up to January
10, already amounting to 81 ,273.SS.
If our town will open and operate
its public utilities it can soon not
only clear itself from debt, but
pay its current expenses as well.
From this it is evident that the
way to lower our taxes is to own
our own franchises. operate our
utilities, and pocket the profits
ourselves. This is the conclusion
arrived at by the best minds all
over our country, many OF our
largest cities, as we'll as smaller
towns, bringing forward ample fig
ures to show that this is the SEN
sible business way of doing things.
Paonia should own her electric
light plant as we'll as water sys-
tem.-Gazette.
In the face of such an object
lesson as is furnished above it
would seem certain that the peo-
pie will grasp the opportunity t.
operate their own light plant and
add couple of thousand dollars
to the large surplus that is now
accumulating from the income of
the water plant. With such action
town taxes will begin to go down
and with that happy condition
town property will begin to rise
in value. The best advertisement
that can be issued for a town,
county or state is that its taxation
is low. This is all possible with
the public ownership of utilities.
The profits of the business are
necessarily large. Being a mo-
nopoly private ownership will in
every case fix the tolls at what
the traffic will bear. Public owner
ship will base the rate on the
necessity of the municipality, and
the toll, even if exorbitant, as
based on the rates elsewhere, is
all used for the benefit Of the
municipality and constitutes re-
lief from other forms of taxation.
Pulling for better and a greater
Paonia can best be done by en-
deavoring to place the town in
possession of all natural monopo-
lies. We repeat that it is a graft
fication to find Bro. Frederick in
line with advanced thought on
this question.

SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.

There are several little items in
the Gazette the last week that
raise a train of thought that we
would like to put on paper. First
anent the death of our old
friend, Scott Dickinson, OF
Pitkin, Bro. Frederick takes
occasion to read a lecture on the
use of tobacco. The Miner in
publishing the fact of his death
states that his excessive use OF
tobacco fastened the end. Mr..
Dickinson had reached a ripe age.
If tobacco did hasten his death it
took plenty of time about it. 1t
is source of deep satisfaction to
those whose bad habits run to
some other line, to heave a dor
nick at those who utilize the
fragrant weed as a solace and
nerve tonic. Tobacco may have
cut a few brief years off Scott
Dickinson's 5ojourn here but it
did not make him less the man.
Scott Dickinson with a fragrant
cigar between his teeth was
ready to listen to friends
troubles, to extend sympathy and
aid, to offer that good advice and
counsel so valuable at times. He
was one of natures noblemen,
strong and constant, companion
able and kind. A true husband
and father, consistent and
honorable business man. He
looked better to us behind a
cigar than he did without one.
He seemed to take a degree of
comfort in it that is absent in a
less consistent smoker. We do
not believe that smoking short
ened our friends life one minute.
He was a man of considerable
size, rather fleshy and lived at
an altitude of about 5000 feet.
Pneumonia is very generally
fatal at that height and to that
sort of people. Bro. Frederick
might have recovered from an at
tack of this dread disease even
at that altitude, but it would not
be on account of his abstinence
from tobacco. 1t would be di
rectly attributable to the fact that
he has not got juice enough in
his whole body to congest lung
as big as prune. Some men
pay so much attention to the
rules of health that they are
always sick, and even if they es-
cape illness they also miss halt
the pleasures OF life. We do not
believe that God would put SO
good a thing as tobacco into
the world if he had not sus
picioned that many of his child
rem would use and enjoy it.
Later on in the same article
Bro. Frederick criticises some
organization for starting a set
of resolutions Whereas, the Lord
has removed from our midst"
Fred says that the Lord does not
remove people, and with this we
agree. But Mr.. Frederick is a
party to the responsibility of just
this sort of assertions. If Bro.
Frederick was on train that was
wrecked and half the people
killed, as soon as the living we're
rescued from the debris he would
organize a prayer meeting to
thank the Lord for saving their
lives, when by the act he would
be just as surely accrediting Him

ExERc Rc1sEs AUTHORITY.
Acting Governor Parks Calls out
the Military to Enforce
an Order.

In the absence of Acting Gov
ernor Mcdonald Senator Parks
has been filling the executive
chair. Last week there was pre-
sented to him an application for
a pardon and the release
of a child confined in the State
Home for Dependent Child
rem. The executive consid-
cred the application favorably
and issued the order for her re-
lease which the board of control
promptly turned down. Mr..
Parks just as promptly ordered
the Adjutant General to go and
take the child and deliver her to
him in the executive chamber,
and the same was done with no
trouble except the ruffling of the
feelings of the board of control.
This body is now making dire
threats and say they will put the
beautiful senator from Denver,
now acting as Governor, in the
penitentiary. 49,.
We remember quite distinctly
how zcalously the lobby that Sc
cured the adoption of this home
by the state, fought anything look
ing to real state control. They
wanted the home made into a
state institution in order to get
state funds, but they objected
strenuously to the home being
under the control OF anybody ex-
cept the gang who recognized it
as a good graft if they could get
the state to act as foster father
When they found that their baby
would not be adopted unless it
became a state institution gov
erned as are other state institu-
tions, they gave reluctant con-
sent, and as this incident proves,
with a mental reservation to the
effect that they would bluff the
state into submission whenever
the occasion arrived.
We observe that the Rocky
Mountain News and Denver
Times both seize upon the Incl
dent to give Senator Parks a
fearful roast for using the mill
tary to enforce his order We
believe they are wrong There
is principal at stake here as in
certain other cases quite clear to
the public mind. When Parks
gave that order he was acting
quite within his authority. The
board of control simply con-
sidered 1t time to run its bluff
that had been in pickle every
since they bamboozled the legis-
lature into taking white elephant
off the hands of a batch of
meddlesome Matties who had or
ganized it exclusively to gold
brick" the state. Indeed. if our
memory is not at fault, Senator
Parks was one of the men who
fought the proposition to adopt
this Institution, and if SO, it in a
measure explains why they
elected to mutiny at time when
he was in command of the ship of
state.
AS to using the militia to Sc
cure enforcement of the execu-
tive order, that was proper pro-
ceeding. The militia are at com
mand of the Governor and con-

sociations on the mainland Some
time ago Hiss Adelaide r. Hasse, who
has charge of the document depart
ment of the Nv York Public Library
and who is chairman of tn Document
Committee of the American Library
Association wrote to the Board of Ar
chives asking for a description of the
character and condition of the archives
and for any duplicates of reports and
other matter that could be furnished
for the New York Library, offering to
exchange such duplicate documents Of
Hawaiian matters, as the New York
Library might have, which the archives
did not have. The New York Library,
she says, will assume any cost Of trans
portation, and asks that shipment be
made by American-Hawaiian Steam
ships to New York.
She also asks for photographs of the
Archives building.
Growing out of announc ments that
the librarian of the Board of Archives.
r. c. Lydecker, is to read a paper

WATER STORAGE
IN NUUANU
A CORRESPONDENT RECALLS A
TURE ABOUT APPROPRIATIONS.

EDITOR STAR: In +. aiding "Legis-
latures" letter i'm the Bulletin of the
18th inst. also Mahelona's protest a.
gainst the Superintendent of Public
Works action i'm connection with tn
Nuuanu water, l made an investiga-
tion and find: Ths Public Works Office
has an appropriation of $4,000 duly
appropriated by the Legislature before
the last for Nuuanu and it is possible
that that amount is what Mr.. Hollo-
way is now building the Nuuanu dam
with, which he has a right to do. I
aslo find that the Legislature voted
down an additional appropriation ask
ed for last year The public and the
Chamber of Commerce should take "a
hand i'm this matter, and if Mr.. Hollo-
way is eXpending any portion of the
! 100000 water genetal" i'm Nuuanu
after the legislature voted it down, l
think it is not ondy high handed
but illegal ana if so Mr.. Holloway
should be promptly removed from office
! The following is the conclusion of the
house committees report against any
! further expenditure i'm Nuuanu and
adopted by the legislature.
The Committee on Public Lands and
! Internal improvements beg leave here
by to present their report upon Resolu-
! tion No. o. introduced by Honorable E.
X. Lilikalani, being a resolution to in
sert in the Appropriation or Loan Bill
the sum of $4,000 for increasing the
storage capacity of water in Nuuanu
valley.
There is as you committee is in
formed, now in the Treasury the sum
of $4,000 the amount of the uneXpend-
ed appropriation made by the last
legislature which is available for the
purposes sought by this resolution, and
we recommend that the same be ap-
piled to the construction of a concrete
bottomed, or other suitable and safe
reservoir in Nuuanu valley
We believe that the health of the
community at large is to us our great
est care, and in order to pre- serve the
same measures should be taken and
available public moneys spent for the
purpose of obtaining the purest, health
lest and most wholesome water posi-
BILE, and for this much desired end all
such moneys should be first appropria-
ted for the acquisition of all available
spring water which can be procured
from many of the valleys surrounding
the city of Honolulu Water of this
nature is the very best and healthiest
that can be supplied, and hat should
first be sought, and after that would
come the water for mechanical pur-
poses which latter would require a
separation of the two classes of water
and entail very great expenditure of
public money to successfully accom-
plish.
Therefore this committee recon-
mends that no money be appropriated
for increasing the storage capacity Of
water in Nuuanu valley, and that the
resolution be tabled.
