The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-04-02

Although a very just and apprecia-
tive review of this work has already
appeared in the Evening Bulletin of
March %, from the pen of Mr.. Arthur
tombstone, count it a pleasure to
ada my testimony to It's merits.
The truth of Pope's saying: ''The
noblest study of mankind is man." is
more widely recognized now than for
merly, and the comparative study of
the folklore of primitive races has
risen to the rank of a science. Espe-
cially worthy of attention are the
folklore and mythology of the Hawai-
lated as it was from the rest of man
kind for SO many centuries. In order,
however, to be of any scientific value,
or to give any insight into the
thoughts and feelings of that primitive
people. these legends should be given
as nearly as possible in the words in
which they were recited by the hered-
itary story-tellers of the olden time.
At present, it is next to impossible
to obtain them in their primitive SIM
plicity, unmixed with foreign senti-
ments and ideas. AS the supply gen
orally follows the demand, there is
danger that the manufacture of spu-
rious legends, as we'll as that of bogus
idols may become a fourishing branch
of industry. Even the historian, Ka-
makau, in his later years fell into this
sin, and stood ready to furnish Bibli-
cal legends, when wanted to prop up
a. theory. He betrayed himself, how
ever, by his yarn about the goats
without horns, called malailua, on the
slopes of Mauna Loa." See Fernandez,
Vol. 1, p. SO.
The late Rollin M. Daggett set the
fashion, which has been followed by
many others, of regarding the ancient
folk tales simply as SO much raw ma
terial, to serve as a basis on which
to build structures, it may be, Of liter
airy and artistic beauty, but foreign
in every respect. Such a treatment of
these legends entirely destroys their
value as a picture of the mind of
people living in the Stone Age
It is therefore pleasure to see this
collection of authentic legends, (for-
merly scattered through many VOL
umes), which retain so much of the
antique simplicity and flavor of the
originals.
It is interesting to compare these
legends about the hero Maui with the
New Zealand and Manihiki versions of
the same exploits. The story, too, of
Hiku and Kawelo is almost identical
with the New Zealand tradition about
Hutu and Pare.
The makeup of the book is attrac-
tive, while the illustrations from pho
tographs are well chosen and beautf-
full. 1t meets a long felt want, and
will be welcome to all who take an
interest in the legends. the poetry and
religious beliefs of the Wa Kahiko.

R|DGElY MAKES REPORT
ON FINANCIAL
SITUATION
Comptroller of Currency Fav-
0rS Establishment of
Central Bank.
RECOMMENDS ELASTICITY
FOR BANK NOTE SYSTEM

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 16.--In
his annual report to congress today,
William II. Ridgely, comptroller of
currency treats of the recent money
tightness in the United States and
suggests a remedy. The report says
THAI deposits In ali banks reporting
to the comptroller amounted to $13.-
0ss.615,34S, a gain of over s5.s60,-
100000 within the past seven years.
The total stock OF money was re-
ported July 1 of the present year to
be sS,i15,600, 900.
THE conditions which led to the
panic of October and November,
1907, were not due to the failure of
individual banks" says the report.
They were not due to lack OF conf
dence OF the people in the banks, but
to the lack of confidence of the banks
In themselves In their reserves. They
feared that they did not have suffi-
Client currency and the result was a
currency famine. A remedy for this
state OF affairs Is to improve the re-
serve system. so that the reserve de-
pusits of banks can be kent In banks
where they will surely be available.
We mast impart to our currency sys-
tenn some element Of elasticity. so
that when there comes 4 sudden de-
mand for currency. Il can be sup
piled in bank notes, without depict
ing the supply of reserve money.
These desirable changes can best be
accomplished and in fact can onlv
be satisfactorily accom- pllshed
through the establishment by the
government of central bank of Is
sue and reserve"

ters, where they attacked Mrs Stern
