1.-THE foregoing table of the three
regular sessions shows very marked
decrease in the total cost of the ses-
sions. This is noteworthy as indicat-
ing the progress of the Territory to-
ward economy and efficiency.
1.-The special session of the senate
alone was held in 1902, for the purpose
of securing it's necessary approval of
the governors removal of certain Ter
ritorial officials whose public usefulness
had ceased The work lasted twelve
days and cost the taxpayers s4012.7O.
1.-THE legislature of 1903 had made APP
preparations far in excess of the income
on taking office in November of that
year it was evident that such financial
conditions could no longer be tolerated
without loss of credit, and, on the prin-
ciple that the making of laws and pass
ing of appropriations are legislative
rather than executive work, and that
the responsibility for the same lies
with the people of the Territory, a
special session of the Legislature was
called. 1t was convened on the 9th day
of April, 1904, and in period of twelve
days this Legislature past fourteen
separate bills by which the operating
expenses of the Territory were reduced
to within it's income.
1.-THE shortness of this session and the
rapidity with which work was done
showed what 1t was possible for the
people of the Territory to expect of it's
representatives. The expenses of that
special session were, of course, large
pei diem, because of the fxt compen-
sation of $4,000 to which the 40 mem
bers were entitled. The total cost was
11,O796S."

NEEDED LEGISLATION.
Governor Carter concludes his per-
sonal report with the following recon-
mendations of needed legislation:
The passage by Congress of the So
called funding bin is of greater i'm
portance than all other things com
bined. breakwater at Hilo, for the
protection of its commerce, a hydro
geological survey of the life giving
waters of these islands, and many
other matters need attention, but 1t is
useless to flood Congress with lot of
minor measures when one of so great
Importance is before it.
If American control of Hawaii is to
be benignant and intelligent the prin-
ciple must be admitted that noncon-
tiguous areas, separated by 1000 miles
from the mainland, must have different
treatment from those political subdivi-
sions WHICH are separated from their
neighbors only by an imaginary line.
Not only geographically is the differ
ence great, but Hawaii is the point of
contact where the Orient and the Oc-
cident meet, and our institutions and
citizens should be of the highest and
best type. And until we can secure a
of the principle that differ
ent conditions require different treat
ment, 1t is useless TO expect that the
small, far cry from Hawaii will be
heard in the clamor at Washington of
nearer and larger subdivisions of the
Union.
AT present, Hawaiis resources are
unnecessarily and unduly taxed. and
the problems that our citizens here
are struggling with deserve more en-
and assistance from
Uncle Sam"

THE COUNTRY HIGHWAYS.

The exploit of the French automo-
bile expert who has just covered $50
miles in sac minutes, while it shows
a speed that ought not 10 be generally
permitted, is full of suggestion of the
contrast between the condition of pub
lie highways in this country and some
European countries. The public road
which rendered such speed possible is
infinitely more important because OF
its benefits to other classes and partic-
ularly to tillers of the soil.
In the matter OF railroad transpor-

THE VACATION HABIT.

There is no question but what the
vacation habit is slowly but surely get
ting a frmer hold upon the American
people. The idea that there should
be some periodical interruption OF the
everyday work by way OF diversion
and recreation is becoming more wide
spread, and while there are, doubtless,
thousands upon thousands of people
who never get a vacation at all except
in the form of enforced idleness. yet
the number is constantly increasing
who are able to devote week or two
weeks during the summer months to
rest or change.
Whether vacation is put to a good
use or bad use, and is thus profitable
or Improbable as an investment of
the time devoted to 1t. depends largely
upon the circumstances in each indi-
vidual case. Many vacations are
concerned would be better off in every
way had he kept at his work, bit for
the large majority the vacation is a
rejuvenation and a stimulation. This
is especially true for Americans as
compared with people of other coun-
tries because of the greater concentra-
ton of energy and more rapid pace set
by the American people in their daily
vocations.
The vacation habit is here to stay
No one would repress 1t if he could
But what is needed is to make people
realize that their vacation has a pur-
pose and should be directed along
lines that will make that purpose prac-
teal so each will return to home, Office
or factory better prepared to assume
the performances of his or her duties
than before.

srEELcLENr CROP MoNEr

Notwithstanding the practically as
sured prospect of great crop through
out the agricultural region, no serious
deficiency of funds is anticipated be-
yOnd what the resources of the west
can supply. A large amount of cur
rCncy from the east will, of course, be
calfS1 for during a considerable part
of the crop moving period, but the
eastern financial papers agree that the
demand will be satisfactorily met in
spite of the pressure from extremely
expanded industry and general bust
ness, ana the financial exigency caused
by the San Francisco disaster.
While the temporary currency call
on the east for crop movement reaches
a big aggregate, 1t is constantly dimin-
ishing and is immensely smaller than
it was only a decade or two ago rela-
lively to the bulk and value of the crop
to be moved. This in large part is due
to the growth of the surplus funds
and credit of the west. Throughout
the western grain producing states
the farmers are on more independent
basis, not being forced by debts to
hurried marketing and having ampler
storage facilities of their own. The
available surplus, too, is signally re-
flected in the increase Of western bank
ing capital and resources. SO rapidly
has 1t grown during the last few years
of unprecedented production and good
prices that no small part of it is held
as a credit in the great money centers
to be called home for temporary
harvest and market use.
The special requirements in the east
under existing and recent financial
conditions necessarily affect the west
ern money situation. but in a far less
direct and serious way. The extra
ordinary reinforcement of some $780,
600, 900 gold imported TO help in the

TIE rHAw. WHITE SENSATION.

AHb Hd " NH ~ bENNh 4 AC-'"
All that is morbid, prurient and SEN
timentally abnormal is excited and at
tracted by the sensational roof garden
murder in New York. The criminal
elimination itself, the chief figures in
the scene and the long train of antece-
dents are pre-eminently typical of n
morbid phase of luxurious life and a
startling suggestion of tendencies
which, though understood by special
students, often escape the attention OF
the average observer. The disclosures
directly or remotely connected with
the affair tell story of confirmed
moral degeneracy surrounded, in
whatever direction the curtain is
lifted, with the atmosphere of scandal
and debauchery, out of which moth
ing but evil could come and of which
the brutal climax is only the natural
and necessary consequence.
On one side such a denouement is
especially deplorable, for under yell
low newspaper exploitation it oper-
ates as malign advertisement, reach
ing susceptible and weak natures that
might otherwise escape and being a
stimulus to the depraved and vicious.
Nor would it be possible by any treat
ment altogether to neutralize its In
fiuence in this direction. But it
should be remembered, and veracious
representation of the subject will show
and should emphasize the fact. that
the revolving phase of life thus thrown
into bad eminence is nevertheless an
exceptional and minor phase, and that
the Harry Thaws, the Nesbits and the
Whites are rare departures from the
normal and notorious chiefly because
of their rarity.
Monte Carlo gambling exploits, wife
desertion and now murder have made
1.-The Pittsburg millionaire" a reproach
in current sensational publications.
Yet the rapid or unexpected acquisi-
ton of colossal wealth has not turned
the heads or broken the morals of the
representative American rich men, and
we do not hear of the Pittsburg homes
in which the domestic virtues and the
honorable precepts of right living are
exemplified simply because, being the
rule and not the exception, they are
not material for sensation mongering
Scandal feeds on the abnormal, the
strange, the forbidden.
With the judicial exposition of the
details of this mess of moral morbid
ity will come an unwelcome trial OF
the stamina of the community, as in
the Stokes-Fisk case thirty years ago
and the exigency calls for the exercise
of the good sense and caution of all

CONDITIONS OF SUCCESS.
obstacle to Improved Municipal Gov
ernmeIt In America.
AIlnnnn r,nlir journal

Minneapolis journal.
M. e. Ingalls,, who went abroad with the
commission which undertook the investiga-
ton of municipal ownership in England
appears to have fallen into the unfortunate
habit so common to investigators Of stat
ing his conclusions before he gives his evil
dence.
He notes the success of a great many
municipal experiments in Great Britain,
but Immediately adds that the cause of
their success is the willingness OF many
fiTst-rate men to devote themselves TO
civic affairs, is not open to America. The
fact that Mr.. Ingalls, was willing to go
abroad al his own expense and spend sew
eral months Of tollsome adventures in
municipal slaughter houses, gas works and
electric light plants somewhat discounts
his own conclusions Mr.. ingalls, is first
class man.
The difficulty in America will not be to
find flrst-class men who will undertake
municipal labors. The difficulty Will be to
bring about in the cities political condi-
lions which will encourage such men to
hope for success In their endeavors. The
English and Scotch cities fortunately found
better than average conditions, of success
open before them. They had no politics
practically, in their city administrations
They did not allow their local campaigns
to become the tail TO some Parliamentary
kite. They never accepted the theory that
a man who was liberal in national politics
might not work side by side with con-
sentative on a local board
We see how 1t is In American cities.
We have our absurd system Of repub-
lloan and democratic tickets opposing each
nth hA frnVY fn al or
man. The organization encourages this
sort OF humbug because 1t tends TO keep
always the same crowd in power. In Or
der to smash a ring or GUST a gang Of
grafters the American voter must put up
a big noise. He must vote independent"
He must stand the accusation of desert
ing his party. He knows this IL a bur-
lesque treason put up to scare him, but
still the burden Is on him and he Is the
man who is called upon to explain" In
stead Of the CRATER he is trying to down.
This condition is unnatural and cannot
always exist. The people of Philadelphia
stood Il for a long time until they found
that the machine had sold them body and
soul to the Gas trust and the traction
corTnine. When they rebelled they rebelled
hard. They formed a city party which
takes in republicans, democrats and pro-
hibitionists 1t is a great success because
it is logical. 1t agrees with the common
sense of the people and they support it,
It does not interfere with their DIVIDING
into other groups on national issues. II
fills the bill. 1t is what every city in the
country needs and must have before mu-
nicipal ownership can be undertaken with
any hope of success. When that is at
tanned the American people are Just az
capable of running their own street cars
gas plants and electric light works as the
English and Scotch have proved themselves
to be.

PlttSburg D1EpatCh.
The death Of CHARLES p. Tripler. the eE-
perimenter with liquid air, brings out a
point in connection with his career which
ought to surround his memory with more
honor than is due to his scientific achieve
ments
Mr.. Tripiers demonstrations with liGue-
fed air were so marvellous as to arouse
high expectations of startling revolutions,
both as TO power and refrigeration. lie
was himself a firm believer in those pos
sibilties and a company was organized to
exploit them. But the commercial aspect
Of the invention proved a failure. simply
because the cost OF COMPRISING and lidue-
flying air exceeded its commercial value.
When this was made plain two promoters
Of national repute who were in charge Of
the company skillfully slid out Of It, It
is probable that Mr.. Tripler could have
followed their example. But he refused
to do so. Whether from obstinate faith In
the commercial value of his invention or
from pure integrity it is stated by his
friends that he used all his personal means
in paying off the obligations of the defunct
company. When his resources were ex-
hHusted his wife gave up the greater share
Of her fortune for the same purpose. Both
have died, comparatively poor but with
the comfortable knowledge of unstslned
homer.
It may be questioned whether a Judgment
clear from the pecuniary standards OF this
world will not recognize in that record
| a greater life achievement than II the In

| ton and accrued countless millions as his
share Of the success.

states are already being made with
most gratifying results.
There is no mystery about the cor
rect principles Of road building. for
they have been abundantly demon
strated in the old countries and are
well known or are easily ascertainable
everywhere. Many difficulties did ex-
ist in applying them I'm the early days
in the new western states. but under
present conditions the only obstacle is
to arouse public sentiment to the i'm
portance of the improvement. Very
much in this direction is lately being
done in farmers institutes and asso-
Citations and through the agricultural
colleges and experiment stations. but
It yet remains to bring the available
resources to bear in a practical way.
