PUBLIC LIBRARIAN
RESIGNS TO MARRY

Good librarians are not common. To
find a suitable custodian of books and
magazines to be used by citizens OF
every degree, the clever and otherwise,
the careful and the negligent, to keep
them all IN good humor, to answer their
questions and help them In their trou.
bles, is not an easy matter. The trus-
tees of the Honolulu library have been
congratulating, themselves that they
had Just performed this difficult feat.
The incumbent, Miss Gertrude A.
Baker, has been in office for some
months, and there have come to them
complaints from fault-finding women
or grouchy men, but they have heard
much on all sides, of her unfailins
amiability and obligingness. Miss
Baker was trained for her profession
in the school connected with the Los
Angeles Public Library-one of the
oldest library schools in the country
She was employed in the Cleveland
Public Library one year. and there
edited the Index to Periodicals, a
pamphlet indispensable to Librarians in
their work. From Cleveland she went
20 Mt. Vernon, Ohio for two years, and
thence to Liverpool, Ohio. where she
remained for five years. 1t was this
engagement which led to another-the
one. in fact. which is responsible for
her unanticipated resignation.
She was asked to come to Honolulu
by the board of trustees who knew OF
her proficiency, and in accepting their
offer it was with the intention of re-
naming at least a year.
Circumstances have arisen. however
which have prompted her to change her
plans. Her fiance, Mr.. Phillips, Is
connected with the celebrated potteries
in Liverpool, Ohio, and is expected to
arrive in Honolulu by the Siberia,
May IT. The wedding will take place
in Honolulu and the bride and groom
will then go to Japan. Mr.. Phillips
expects to spend a good deal of time in
speeding the famous potteries of that
country.
The regret of the trustees at the de-
parture of Miss Baker from Honolulu
will be shared by all who have had
occasion to use the library, and who
have reason to value her generous and

The withdrawal of the Oceanic Steam
ship Company and the inability of the
foreign steamers of the Oriental line
to carry passengers between American
ports without the payment Of a fine
of 5000 in each case has diverted con-
siderable of the passenger traffic to
the steamers running to Victoria and
Vancouver. The passengers transfer
at those ports to steamers for San
Francisco, and owing to the fact that
they come from a foreign port their
baggape has to be examined here. AS

THAT EUNICE BRANCH.

The construction of a railroad
from Abbeville by way of Lafay-
cite to connect with the Rock
Island and Colorado Southern
railroads at Eunice would prove
of the greatest benefit to Able
vile and this city by giving them
competing rates. thus putting
them on an equal footing with
neighboring cities which have re-
Gently acquired competing lineso
railroad.
And it would prove of especial
advantage to the parishes
through which it passed because
it would afford a direct northern
outlet, thus putting them
in direct communication with a
market for farm produce and
garden truck, for which the soil
in these parishes is so well
adapted.
The invasion of the boil weevil,
which is practically certain to
occur, in fact it is said to have
already made its appearance
in this parish, will force the
farmers of this section to en-
gage in diversified farming, and
in that case. a direct northern
line of railroad, to promptly
market their produce. will be an
urgent necessity. And now is
the time to act in the matter.
If the proper Inducements are
offered. we believe the Rock
Island can be induced to extend
it's line by way Of Lafayette to
Abbeville and we should not
delay getting in touch with the
proper officials of that road.
Therefore, everybody should
help along the organization of the
progressive league so that there
may be an authorized body of
citizens to take up the matter
and push it,, we hope. to an
early and happy conclusion.

and Sanders, candidates for Gov
ernor, have both expressed
themselves as favOring this read
justment.
1t is natural to expect that the
men who are getting these fees
and those who are aspirants for
these lucrative offices should not
be willing to surrender any part
of their income. 1t was stated a
few days ago that the sheriffs,
the candidates for sheriff and
tax collector, who II generally
men of political power and in
fiuence, were proposing a union
that would vigorously resist any
attempt to reduce their fees and
would carry on a war against can
didateS for State or legislative
positions who suggested such a
reduction. 1t does not look now
as though the idea would be car
ried out. On the contrary, we
note that candidates for these
lucrative positions who are
springing up throughout the
State are announcing that the
compensation is excessive and
expressing their willingness to
take these offices on a smaller
percentage.
1t is quite evident, therefore,
that this issue has already been
settled by the determination to
readjust the compensation OF
sheriffs and tax collectors to suit
the present assessment Of the
State. AS the people will select
their officials this time, it can be
counted on as certain that they
will choose men committed to
their wishes on this point.
The outcome is encouraging,
AS indicating that in a campaign
like the present one, made be-
fore the people, a large proper
ton OF the issues will be settled
in Il similarly easy and satisfac-
tory manner.

Balm. was rubbed with it and found

Concerns Every Young Man an
Woman.

Every young man and woman
should be concerned in a course OF
Bookkeeping and Business Training.
Their education is not colnplete with
out it. If you are poor, you need this
practical knowledge that you may
earn a comfortable living. If your
parents are rich. you nee0 this prac-
teal knowledge that you may be able
to take care of the wealth they leave
you.
The Tyler Commercial College OF
Tyler. Texas, is known as the greatest
school of Bookkeeping and Business
Training in this country. Their
courses are exceedingly thorough,
practical and complete. Four months
training in this institution is worth six
months in any other school. Most
business colleges attempt to teach
| bookkeeping only in their business
course, while the Tyler Commercial
College teaches Bookkeeping thru an
actual business process of face to
face transactions which teaches bust
ness as well as bookkeeping. The
student while taking the course writes
up many drafts, deeds, mortgages,
notes, receipts. insurance policies,
etc., in fact. every kind of commercial
paper and makes hundreds of trans
actions with banks, wholesale houses,
commission offices, freight offices, etc.
The school room is one great COM
munity of business houses, where
many students are actively engaged
in %transacting business and recording
same. This method is exceedingly in
teresting as we'll as thorough and
practical. Shorthand or Telegraphy
may be taken with this course They
teach Shorthand an6 Practical Book
keeping. 1t is these famous systems,
their excellent corps of teachers, and
their modern business methods thai
have made their school n of the
largest in America. Write them for
