THE STORY.

r. lERCELY the battle ragged and
1 gradually the army of Israel was
driving the great hosts of the enemy
backward, All day long the struggle
had continued and now the sun was
nearing the western horizon and two
hours more would see it disappearing
below The mountains crest Defeat
now seemed certain to Adoni-zedec
king Of Jerusalem and to the other
four Kings who had federated them
selves with him in the assault upon
the stronghold Of Gideon, and the
only CLEAN of hope for their shatter-
ed armies as they gradually fell back
before 3the men of Israel was that
darkpess would ere long be upon
them and they would then be able to es-
cape under its friendly fcover. And
whatgthoush the Gibeonites had es,
capped them this time through the
help Of Israel, they would recoup their
shattered armies and some day later
came2upon them unawares and punish
them for the treaty of peace which
they had made with Israel.
1t had come almost as a complete
surprise to find that the army of
Israel had come up to the help of the
people of Gideon. and they had learn
ed during the day while the battle was
on that Joshua by forced march dur.
ing the darkness Of the night before
had fastened from Gilgal to Gideon
and had his divisions drawn up in bat
tie order when the great armies of the
five kings had appeared. 1t is little
wonder therefore that at the very be-
ginning they should have been dis.
concerted, and before the day was
half over It became evident that
Joshua would win the victory, and as
we have said, 'Aaoni-zadec and the
four kings with him, as they took
council together, watched the de.
scendng sun, and thanked their gods
that soon darkness would give them
the opportunity of making good their
escape, II 1t did not also give them
the chance to strike here and there
against their powerful foe. E :
Filled thus with the purpose to save
the remnants of their armies, word
was sent through the ranks that as
soon as darkness had come they were
to scatter and come together again at
Makkedah.
Let the front ranks maintain as
strong line as possible, and fall
back gradually when the major part
OF the forces together with their sup
plies and arms shall make prepare.

line the banks of the Blue Nile along
its upper reaches, extending to the
Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree
is met with along that river and also
near the Sobat. Along the White Nile

source of rubber, abounds. There are

Four rooms on the ground floor
with the front and back stair, and
four rooms with a good comfortable
bathroom on the second, briefly de-
scribes this plan. The house Is "a
feet six inches wide and IA feet long,
without measuring the porch. A dis
tinCtite feature is the front hall with
its pretty open winding stairway with
a closet underneath for hats, and
coats, and three dOorways which give
access to three different rooms-an
unusual feature in house construction.
OF course there are many long, wind
ing halls that reach away back and
communicate everywhere, but they
are not economical of room In this
case the hall couples very little
space, but the convenience and arts.
tic effect is much greater than most
halls, although others may be much
more pretentious. 1t is a great thing
in building to utilize space to the best
advantage. Measurements are arb:-
trary. In given ground space the
fact must be recognized that the en-
lareement Of one room means. that
the next one must be smaller. This
hall is large enough for all PRACTICAL
purposes and it leaves plenty Of
room for the parlor, dining room and
sitting room.
The parlor is the smallest Of the
three, and rightly so. Parlors are
fast going out Of date. Their. prip;
cipal use has been for weddings and
funerals, and the way some of them
are furnished leaves a funeral favor
all the time. The children must be

Faithfuiness to a Promise
There is no more striking illus
tration in the Bible, we think,
of the faithful tuIfiImsnt of a
pledge given than this incident
of Joshua going up to the aid OF
Gideon. Here was d people
doubty despjsed in the eyes of
Joshua and the people Of israeli
first, because they were heath
en- people, and second, because
they had tricked israel into a
distastefui alliance. And yet,
when the cry for help came
Joshua and the people with him
hesitated not but made haste to
90 up to the defense of the Glib.
eonites. Under a strict inter
probation of the agreement
made, Joshua was under no OBJ"
legations to fight Giheon's bat
ties, and what more natural
feeling for Joshua and the peo-
pie of Israel. who but short
time before bad wanted to de-
stroy the Gibeonites notwith.
standing the oath of Joshua and
the princes OF Israel. than for
them to WELCOME the peril which
threatened Gi5eon as an easy
and fortunate escape from a
most distasteFuI alliance. But
no. The spirit of the agreement
was that Gideon should dwell
with them in the land; she had
Identified herself with israel,
and had acknowledged the su-
premacy of the true God; there
fore Israel wcUfd fight for her.
Because of the promise Joshua
and his men, would face peril
and hardship. Gibeon's plea for
help should not 80 unheeded.
What noble devotion to lofty
ideals.
To-day there is not the same
fine conceptions, the same faith
fitness in the fuIfilIment of
promise. The modern Joshua
looks for technicaIities, the legal
looPhoIe which will let him slip
free from the fuIfiIIment Of an
obligation. He keeps the agree
ment that he cannot escape, but
as for doing more, not he. If
the GiEecn who is in trouble
can show undisruted claim upon
his time and resources, then he
will 60 up to his help, but if
there is convenient escape from
the promise given, then re will
let Giheon SHIFT for himself.
But Joshua of cid mad the d.
vine conception of the impor-
tance and invtoIabIity of an
cath, ard he did all and more
than that oath demanded. And

REGULATIONS
FOR RESTAURANT
The License Board viii Not
Allow Any Bars in
Them.

The Board of License Commissioners
held another meeting Yesterday after
noon. The most important business
done was the final determination as
to the form of the licenses to be is
sued. and the adoption of regulations
regarding restaurants.
As to the form of license some verbal
changes We're made from the form that
was before the Board on Monday,
mainly for the purpose of making
clearer the precise ideas intended to
be expressed.
The Treasurer of the Territory will
now have these licenses printed in
books and distributed to the various
counties.
In regard to regulations for restau-
rants, two important regulations Were
adopted One provided that there
shall be no bars in restaurants. This
has practically been decided on for
scme time.
Another provision is that in regard
to private diningrooms in restaurants.
There was little division of opinion in
the Board on this subject, though a
good deal of discussion was INDUCED
in before the best way Of formulating
just what was wanted was arrived at.
There was no desire to abolish or pre-
vent private diningrooms. The only
object the Board had was to so frame
the regulations that while giving res
taurants the widest latitude for the
convenient and proper disposition of
private diningrooms, the Board would
still have it within its power to pre-
vent private rooms being used for i'm
proper purposes.
The regulation as finally adopted
provides that they shall be subject to
the approval of the Board.
Another meeting of the Board will
be held tomorrow afternoon at four
D clock.

SAN DIEGO'S. PROPOSED
EXCURSION TO HONOLULU

SAN DIEGO, June 8.-A half hours
discussion of the proposition of an ex-
ecursion to the Hawaiian Islands was
held at the close of the meeting of the
directors of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon. Frank NJ. Jeni-
fer, the Los Angeles agent of the Ocea-
mic Steamship Company, and Lloyd
Childs, agent at Los Angeles of the
Hawaii promotion committee, Honolu-
iu. being present.
Two propositions were presented,
the fare for the round trip in each be-
ing approximately s160, and the time
occupied being % days from the date
of sailing.
One proposition is for making the
trip in the Oceanic Steamship COM
pany's Sierra, which would leave from
San Francisco, taking passengers at
various places down the coast, finally
sailing direct for Honolulu from San
Diego.
The other proposition contemplates
making the trip by the oceanic Steam
ship Company's Alameda, which would
take on all passengers at San Diego,
and, sailing from San Diego, would be
known as the San Diego excursion.
The Sierra has a carrying capacity Of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-06-20

, 240 passengers and the Alameda of 100
or more.
The middle of July was suggested
as the date of sailing.
The directors left the matter with
the excursion committee, with direc-
tions to ascertain what arrangements
could be made with the steamship
company, and report
The question of making the excursion
a sure thing is with the people and
to this end the excursion committee
requests that all who would like to
make the trip communicate with the
chairman of the committee, Z. Z.
Shaffer, county auditor, either by let
ter or telephone, in order that an idea
may be formed of the probable pat
ronage 1t is desired to secure the
names of at least fifty San Diegons
for the trip.
In his statement to the directors,
Mr. Childs said that the Hawaii Pro-
motion committee would see to it that
the excursionists were well entertain
ed while on the islands, and that he
was sure no one would regret making
the trip.
Mr. Jenifred and Mr.. Childs left for
Los Angeles on the Owl train last
night The former will leave for San
Francisco on Monday, where he will
take the matter up with the officer Of
the Oceanic Company.

proposed opening of the College of Ha-

course. After the informal gathering
broke ups the Regents held business
meeting and authorized President

RIVAL BABY SHOW
WAS PLANNED FOR

| Some of the local Japanese have mis-
taken the point in the coming baby
show. to be held under the auspices of
| the Kilohana Art League, and are
slider a slur on their race. Evidently
their attention had not been called to
the advertised exhibition of young
mixed humanity until yesterday. Last
night Fred Mahino called on the Ad-
vertiser and spoke his mind about it.
They have had chicken shows in
Honolulu, they have had dog shows in
Honolulu, and now they are going to
have a Japanese baby show. Where
do the haole babies come in in this?
What does it mean when the haole
babies are left out? The Japanese
think that this is a slur on them and
we are indignant over it.
THE Japanese are now getting up
baby show We were going to have
Hawaiian babies, Portuguese babies.
Chinese ba hies and white babies, and
we are going to have a Japanese in
spector look them all over and pick
out the best
1t was then explained to Mr.. Mahino
that it had been decided by the kilo-
hama Art Leaguers to include haole
babies among the exhibits and that the
omission of them from the first plans
was intended in no way to reflect on
the babies of any other race or color.
After this it is not probable that the
rival show will come off.

! A. l. C. Atkinson, Secretary of Ha-
waii and Acting Governor, delivered
| the following address before the High
/ School Alumni Association last night:
/ It is doubly an honor to me to speak
| before the alumni and members of the
Honolulu High School because I was
public school boy and also a pupil of
your principal who was then lovingly
| referred to as "Old Daddy Scott"
| The principal point of attraction and
| interest is the fact that so many differ
| ent races are being educated side by
side in both our public and private
schools. Out of total of 21,000 pupils
of all the schools there are:
Hawaiians and Part Hawaiian. :. $500

chinese .......-....-.. zIUU
Porto Ricans. Germans, Scandina-
via-s and British. 900
And those born of American pa
rents only ..............-r..- 95s
Yet this little Territory ungrudgingly
expends upwards of $1,000 a day for
educational purposes counting every
Sunday, and all holidays. In fact near
ly 100000 a year is spent.
On the mainland there is a tendency
for the public schools to go above the
heads of the people. They are not
common enough. There has been a
cry to democratize them. to adapt them
more to the needs OF the great body
OF the pupils, to the range OF the aver
age boy or girl who is educated in
them.
The best equipment for an American
citizen is a sound education. And the
true aim of education should not be
finished scholarship for the few, but a
high standard of citizenship for the
many
Some educators and teachers fear a |
lowering of ideals or standards-forget-I |
full that a public school education is
to fit the mass of the pupils for prac-
tfcal duties of life. to bring all to-
gether. It is the few that graduate |

them their opportunity, we must not /
forget that the many have to leave /
