CHICKEN THIEF IS
GIVEN ONE YEAR

Hon Tuck, the notorious chicken thief,
Last Monday Tuck had a chicken
feeling and entered the house of a
Portuguese on Vineyard street, where
he found eleven choice chickens, one
of them a game rooster, which he APP
propriated for himself. Chicken steal
ing has been quite prevalent of late.
and the police have notified the buyers
OF fowls at the market to let them
know whenever any one tries to sell
them chickens at low prices.
Hon Tuck had not been informed
of this state of affairs, and bright and
early yesterday morning he took the
captured fowls to the market and ask
ed IS cents apiece for his supply. He
was offered so cents which he accepted,
agreeing to come later in the afternoon
tosreceive his money. The police We're
notified and an officer was detailed to
watch for the man When he arrived
he was promptly nabbed and yesterday
morning pleaded not guilty. He was
found guilty, however, and was sem
fenced to one year of harder labor than

holz of Honolulu, and Jesse Williams,
also of this city. !
Nothing has been heard at the police |

rHEKAR-roY oUEsTION.

The president of the Pittsburg peace conference has returned to this coun- try after an unsuccessful mission which was undertaken to persuade German manufacturers of military toys to shut down what he considered their war-in- citing business, "The manufacturers" :" he said, advised him that their work was clearly a commercial proposition. The Germans make toys for our mar ket because it is the best in which to sell"
 Of course. And it is quite possible that these seekers after good United
 States money are not doing as much harm by their war-toys as some think
 they are. We are told that the instinct of motherhood is being destroyed in
 the little girls by the foolish Teddy
 bears, and that the spirit of war is be- ling encouraged in the little boys by the tn soldiers ana other War-toys they play with. Perhaps neither "evil'' | is so evil as it looks to those who have got it on their brains or on their nerves. Few of the little boys who play with soldiers or who "play sol- dier' ever start wars, and it is too soon to tell whether the Teddy bear Is greater provocative of race suicide than the real Teddy is a restraint of it. Still, 1t can fairly be admitted that | if little boys had something besides war-toys and little girls something be-
 sides Teddy bears to play with they
 and the world would probably get
 along just as well.

THE NEAR-PROPHETS

Brother Horace Johnson has had a narrow squeak. The heavy rains which he predicted haven't come, but rain enough has come to admit him into, or keep him in, the list of "near-proph- cts" He can chortle some over the dampness and is doubtless doing SO, As for the Saddle HllI man, perhaps he feels like drying up and busting" Y" Meanwhile the Weatherman at Wash ington keeps plugging along, hitting it right times enough to entitle him to quite as much admiration and respect as are bestowed on the near-prophets.
 There hasn't been anywhere near rain enough yet to make this part of the country damp enough. The thirsty earth is still really and most unpoetically thirsty. It needs a good long drink. We hope it will get one, for many req sons. One of them is that we shall then be encouraged to feel that New Hayen's generous water supply will continue to hold out so that the cross- walks can be as well watered as they have been during all the dry time,

the European countries small farms are the order, but the farmers get from them gratifying crops because they enrich the soil and put much in of thought and planning, care and solicitude. The intensive method of cultivation in the growth of a good character or in gaining Christian knowledge" will bring results in pro- portion to the direct interest taken in testing and using truth consciously.
 It is therefore truth that lives and has the power to move things that this age demands It becomes living truth, effective knowledge, because it has been felt and used in human personality When a truth finds in anyone a receptive spirit and succeeds in changing the currents of his life, imparting new and better incentives, he knows that he has gained in something more vital than all the speculative theologies in the world, interesting though they may be.

SETTLED AT LAST.

For seventy-two years the now famous deceased wifes sister bill has been passed by the British commons and rejected by the lords at nearly ev- cry session. It merely provided that a widower might marry sister of his deceased wife just as they may do in all the rest of Europe, in the United British possessions The recent action of the lords in passing the bill at its second reading indicates that the struggle is ended and that the law of England is to be made to conform to the practice of practically all the oth- CT nations of the earth in spite of the continued opposition of the Church of England, as represented. by the blsh- ops. The rule against the marriage of man to a sister of his deceased wife was a survival of a much broader rule fixed in the early days of the Christian church in which relationship by mar riage was considered of equal import ance with relationship by blood as a factor in determining who might mar ry How much regard the framers of those rules had for substantial con alterations may be judged from the fact that the relationship of godfath- CT to godchild was also deemed to have a bearing on the matter, because they and their descendants were spiritually related.
 If an Englishman, living in England, is really about to be allowed to marry his deceased wlfe's sister if he wants to and she will have him, we congrat- ulata all concerned. The struggle over this matter has looked ridiculous enough to those who were free to mar " their deceased wives sisters.

4 THEORY 1ND 4 CONDITION.

There are advocates of the whipping post in Connecticut, and they have pointed with pride and emulation to the whlpping-post in Delware. So perhaps they win not be impressed with the testimony of MT. Asmond s. Meserve, who has resigned the warden ship of the Newcastle county work house, at Greenbanl1, Delaware, in pro- test against the continuance of the whipping-post. st They may think that he doesn't know as much about the whipping-post as they do, and that he isn't the right man for a whipper. But others who are not certain that the sal- vatlon of the world is in the whipping post may feel that MT. Meserve's tes- timony is worth attention. In the last six years he has whipped 235 men. Of these, he says, sixty had been whipped before, some of them as many as six times. His contention Is that whipping, so far from preventing a petty crim- inal from becoming desperado. has just the opposite effect. It inflicts upon a man who has been a petty criminal a stigma that keeps him apart from all associations that might elevate him, and leaves him no recourse but to take refuge with the criminal element. From being one who could be turned into bet. ter ways he is converted into des. perate man to whom all roads to re- spectabillty are closed. MT. Meserve says that these observations are not based upon impressions, but on care. ful record of the men who have under. gone a public f1ogging.
 This looks plausible, and it looks as i1 condition had collided with the ory to the damage of the theory.

SoMEKANs4S MArERLA 1IsM,

Kansas is a State where sentiment seems to have played a prominent part, and yet the other day the big gest tree in Kansas, located on the Ben Wilson ranch, near Williams town, was cut down. It was a cotton wood and was purchased from MT. Wilson by the Topeka barrel and box factory, and four and one-half days were consumed by two men in cutting it down. Sixteen strong horses were required to draw each of the three sections, which were twelve feet long, to the railroad. It measured twenty three feet, six inches, in diameter. The body was sound and when sawed up made $500 feet of first-class lumber and about the same amount of sec ond-class. The machinery of the factory was inadequate to handle such q monster and dynamite was finally used as last resort and it was torn in three pieces.

THE GOLDEN MEAN DESIRA

In as Tar as President Roosevelt insisted in his Provincetown speech on his duty to enforce impartially the laws of the land, whether the off, fender shall be great corporation or humble citizen. he was standing on solid ground. No lover of law and order would wish him to do other wise. No one who believes in justice can defend the practices of corpora tions that violate law.
 That which gave offense in some circles was the manner in which the President spoke. He is impulsive nat urally and may not always speak with the reserve and judicial bearing that conditions call for. Was 1t at all necessary that he should speak in a belligerent manner? Could he not have been conciliatory in speech, but nevertheless as strong as ever in his purpose to enforce the law? Society today is highly organized and the business world is very sensitive psy- chologically. Anything said by one in high political or industrial leadership that tends to impair confidence is communicated along the whole line like an electric impulse. There are innumerable bushes enterprises that are engaged lawfully but nevertheless feel the effects of any general feeling of insecurity. It is due to these legiti- mate enterprises that the utterance of a statesman should be moderate in tone and judicial in character.
 No thoughtful citizen will for mo- ment apologize for any corporation that violates the laws of the land, but 1t is possible that the tendency to legislate against corporations may become a sort of mania. Some States already have passed drastic meas ures, other states are hastening to fall into line and the thing may be overdone If there has been laxity in the past in providing proper legisla- tion and in enforcing law, care must be taken that the reaction does not carry affairs as much the other way
 The golden mean is the more desir- able, safer and more quiet.
