THE BATES BILL WAS
THE ONE PASSED AFTER ALL

The following letter from the author
of the Pearl Harbor bill should settle
the question of its paternity:
Washington, D. c., May 16, 1908.
Merchants Association, Honolulu
Dear Sirs: Please accept my thanks
for the very kind telegram of congrat-
ulations over the passage of my bill
for the development of Pearl Harbor.
1t is very pleasing to know that the
amount available this year has been
increased to 100000, and that the
total expenditure will be from s3,O00,-
COO to $4,000. 600.
Ny personal inspection of Pearl
Harbor a year ago impressed me with
its Importance. It was therefore a
pleasure to report the matter from the
Subcommittee on Navy Yards, OF
which I happened to be the chairman,
and also to urge the matter through
the House

TELEPHONE DsLINoUENc1Es.

The late night service of the tele-
phone company has been particularly
bad in the matter of giving attention
to calls and the operators are usually
impertinent when they are asked to
ring more than once or to answer
questions Evidently they do not care
to be disturbed The value OF the
service TO night customers would be
greatly increased by the employment
OF an intelligent and courteous Cen

of the system when asking that

The Board of License Commissioners
yesterday afternoon held a meeting at
which public hearings were given to
about thirty-one applicants for a re-
newal of license and one new applica-
ton for license The public hearing
proved to be a rather perfunctory
matter. Besides the commissioners
there was no one present except ap-
plicants and their attorneys, and an
Advertiser reporter. There was only
one protest filed. That was against
the renewal of the license to the Or
pheum Saloon. 1t was signed by Rev.
E. W. Thwing, pastor of the Fort
street Chinese church; Mr.. Merrill, the
superintendent of the Sunday school;
Frank Damon, P. C. Jones, w. W.
Hall, Mrs. Richards. president of the
Free kindergarten and Children's Aid
Society, and several others
The objections to the renewal of the
license were that the saloon was within
120 feet of the premises of the Chi
nese church, wnere Sunday school was
held on sunday and kindergartens and
other schools on weekdays; hundreds
of children passed the place daily go
ing to and from the Fort street church
and the High School; there were fire.
Quent children's matinees at the Or
pheum Theater and moving picture
shows attended by children. Charles
Lambert in reply filed a map and
survey showing that his place was 155
feet from the entrance of the church,
the point from which measurements
are to be taken as the law directs. He
stated in addition that he had run the
place fully within the law.
For the rest the public hearing con-
sisted of calling the names of the ap-
plicants for renewal, giving them an

The very high standing of your Del
egate helped much in the matter. Mr..
Mcclellan has been instant in season
and out of season from the very first
and has worked necessarily and indus
triously for the passage Of this bill. In
fact, 1 received from him many sug-
gestions which were invaluable.
He is one of the most efficient and
Industrious men in Washington and l
can not speak of his work and fidelity
in too high terms; in short, l desire
to share fully with him any credit that
may be due for the success of the
Pearl Harbor bill.
1t would be great pleasure to visit
Honolulu again this year and renew
the pleasant acquaintance of a year
ago.
Please present my compliments TO
the members of your association and
give them my kindest greetings. Very
truly yours,

went to the Leper Settlement after
all.
In his interview with an Advertiser
representative soon after he came here
he said that he did not intend to go;
that he had been to practically all
the leper settlements in the world, and
that there was no reason why he
should go TO the one on Molokai.
But during his stay here he has be-
come interested in the administrative
features of the Settlement, which are
unique among such institutions, and
he accepted an invitation to make a
visit to the Settlement.

invitation to him to go as its guest.

HIS SACRIFICE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1905. by Edwin A. Nye.

at the town of Paris, H., Lawrence
Friend, railroad brakeman, died to
save his fellow men.
1t was this way:
A heavily loaded passenger train
was approaching at high speed The
freight train on which the brake
man was employed stood on the track
The engineer of the passenger train
did not know that In a flash Law
renee Friend saw his duty. 1t might
mean death to him. Nevertheless he
threw the switch. The train went on to
the siding and was saved
But the brave brakeman was caught
In the wheels and ground to death.
Somebody had Numbered. However
that may be. when the man was want
ed at his post to die he was there.
He gave to the supreme moment all
he had-his life
Of course there was an ''investiga-
ton"
Lawrence Friend was dead He had
not stopped to argue His not to ques-
ton why, his not to make reply. his
but to do and die And on the instant
he made the supreme sacrifice.
He died for his fellows.
Men do that every day.
Sometimes we say that men are no
longer moved by noble motives. We
say the age is commercialized. We
say men will do nothing except they
be paid in dollars or in position
1t is not true.
Especially is it untrue of the great
host of railroad men who hourly put
their lives in jeopardy and whose in
itial instinct It is to save the lives of
those who are given over TO their care
And In the rank and file of our indus
trial army men are found as brave as
any soldier on any battlefeld-every-
day heroes of our common life.
Lawrence Friend had no thought of
being called heroic. 1t was his duty
to save the train. He did 1t as he
would do any other duty of the day
and took the consequences.
In the olden days acts Of heroism
were SO rare that monuments and
shrines were built to mark them.
Places of self sacrifice were holy.
All places are holy where man dies
to save his fellow man. Measured
thus, there is much of holy ground on
our American SOIL
And so, were there shrines to mark
the places of self sacrifice, one would
needs be built by the side of that
switch at Parisl
The mangled body of Lawrence
Friend lying by the side Of the track
was holy sacrifice.
