of civilians whose heads remained COW

GREAT BALL At YOUNG HOTEL

The ball given last night at the
Young Hotel in honor of Admiral
Swinburne and the officers of the Pa
cific fleet was one of the most charm
ing affairs which has ever been seen
in this city. For once the local girls
had no complaint to make about not
having enough partners, for the men
outnumbered the fair sex to such an
extent that all were ensured a good
time. The early part of the evening
was taken up with a concert by the
Hawaiian band and at about 8
O'Clock the guests began to arrive in
large numbers.
1t seemed that everyone in Homo
lulu society was present, though some
came a little late on account of the
many dinners which were being Civ
en-. These, however, made up for their
hardness by staying later than the
others. The manner in which the
guests enjoyed the dancing was we'll
shown by the fact that it was well
after 2 o'clock in the morning before
the music boys were allowed to rest.
AS late as 1 o'clock the crowd was
so large that dancing was going on in

est anticipation OF its friends"
People wanted decency. accuracy. in
dependence and optimistic spirit" de-
clares the leading editorial of the paper
In explaining its phenomenal growth
IN a single year" Here we find one of
the reasons that contributed to tho
success OF The Times. There never
has been moment when The Times
swerved from its course Of indepen-
dence in politics. The fact that The
Times has told the truth about politi-
clans Of all parties. some OF II pleasant,
some unpleasant. has been the subject
Of much contemporary editorial COM
ment. The news OF The Times has
been printed without color. Partisan
ship has been kept out along with SEN

Letters from editors the country over
express kindly sentiments toward the
paper and Its independent viewpoint 10
which they attribute Its success. One
Of these is from the Editor Of the

SENTENCES FROM JEFFERSON.
New York Sun,

On April 10, 174S, Thomas jefferson
was born at Shadwell, Albemarle coun-
ty, Virginia. Tonight his name will be
toasted, his wisdom extolled and his
virtues proclaimed by thousands of
Americans. Two sentences from his
voluminous writings may be read with
peculiar appropriateness in every legis-
latiye and executive chamber in the
land on this the one hundred and sixty
fifth anniversary of his birth:
II we can prevent the government
from wasting the labors OF the people,
under pretence OF taking care of them,
they must become happy"
II think we have more machinery OF
government than is necessary, too many
parasites living on the labor of the in
dustrious."
1t is unlikely that we shall hear these
sentiments echoed by many admirers of
Thomas Jefferson today. Yet who will
question the truth of the principle on
which they are based or their applica-
bility to tho conditions that exist In
the United States In the year 1908?

larta, then called fevers and plaques,
changed the distribution OF population
and produced debilitations which are
now supposed to have led to easy de-
feats. This century is expecting trans
formation OF the tropics from the sub
Jugation of this same malaria. In the
United states 1t Is Of record that the
disease held back many developments
in the south and west and changed the
lines of highly productive settlements.

chances are that It has struck a new
Roosevelt scent-for Mr.. Roosevelt was
assistant secretary OF the navy In the
spring ~ 1898. and made notable
war record before the real war began
In our opinion. Mr., Roosevelt was in
no degree responsible for the finding OF
the naval board OF inquiry into the
causes OF the explosion Of the battle
ship IN Havana harhor But Il is
certain that the old hulk should be
raised and carefully examined in order
that tho exact facts as 10 the causes
Of the blowing up may be finally es-
tablished II the ship blew up from
the inside, history has right to the
truth and the Spaniards merit this
belated vindication OF their national
honor.
