the police arrested a number of Sunnites
and refused the demands Of the mob to re.
lease them. Riotlng followed, dnring which
the police killed five, and wounded forty

number, as it is believed many others were
removed by Their friends. Subsequently
troops camped in the streets, which are now
abnormally quiet.
Sir Nicholas Oconor, the British Ambassa-

complished in a year, and causes d%isquiet,

the other side would do for It. So,
by a safe majority, prohibition was
voted into the Constitution.
There was loophole. The St.
Louis Times believes there always is
loophole. The Constitution said
that prohibition should prevail. but
there was n provision for State con-
troll of dispensary system. The
State is now the liquor dealer. After
a waste of many valuable weeks on
liquor legislation, the Commonwealth
was put in charge Of whisky, wine,
and beer business that makes of Ok
lahoma the largest saloon keeper on
record. There is a general dispens-
ing agent, with numerous aids all
over the State. The first order for
whisky ran into large figures. Beer
by the carload will be part of the
order. Already the State is puzzled
over the patronage end of the prob
lem. Corruption must be kept out.
The bootlegger and prescription ex-
pert must be eliminated. A police
force must be provided, but there is
no license fund with which to take
care Of 1t. Eventually. perhaps,
profits from the States saloons may
bring the needed money, but this is
all in the future.
II there is any moral to be found In
the Oklahoma case, 1t Is the old les
son Of the futility of Statewide pro-
hibition. or all the Commonwealth
In the Union none has had a better
opportunity to make thorough test
Of liquor regulation than Oklahoma,
The law was voted into the Constitu-
ton. Half Of the State had never
had saloons. The dry organization
in the other half was strong. The
Governor believed in prohibition and
the Legislature and party back of
him were pledged to 1t.
Yet, at the beginning. We find that
Oklahoma has gone into the saloon
business. Wines, WHISTLES. and beer
are ordered in large quantities. The
thing has got into politics. Prohibi-
ton is already theory In Oklahoma.

FRIDAY

One OF the leading contractors OF
the city is authority for the state
ment that there are not enough skill
ed mechanics in Honolulu to supply
the demand in connection with the
new work to be done under contract
with the Government. During the
dull times the skilled mechanic had
to leave. There was nothing for him
to do. The local skilled mechanics
are at work. The acknowledging
work at this port necessitated the i'm
portation of twelve skilled "Califor-
MIA" mechanics. The contention of
the morning paper that the "home
mechanic" Is being sighted and that
the California mechanic might do
the community more harm than
good" is preposterous. 1t shows on
what flimsy Misrepresentation the
anti-American outfit have based their
attacks on the American workman.

quently.
President Horne, in the course of

the school premises cost the school
sec, 900, while the new workshop,
which was recently completed, cost
$50, 900 inclusive Of the machinery
that would be Installed before the
commencement of the. next term. He
asked the boys for their cooperation

GOVERNMENT INCREASES PAY
Not Following Example of Private
Firms in Its Factories.

A dispatch from Washington states
that General Crozier,, chief of ord
nance. in discussing the affairs of the
country's arsenals, took Rock Island
arsenal as an example of the fact that
while private manufacturers were cur
failing and reducing wages, the gov
eminent was not. April /, General
Crozier is quoted as saying, new
pay schedule was sent to Rock Island
arsenal which made changes in the
pay of 147 employees. OF this 147
there were 124 who are given inereas-
ed pay. others are slightly changed.
and in only II eases is there a small
wage reduction for individual reasons.
The following are the trades affected:

Curdy and Mrs. Kate Gleason The
latter is at present teacher of domes-
tic science in the Moline public
schools. These ladies set up the pri-
yate school expecting that there would
be many girls and woman who We're
unable to attend the classes in the
schools, but would like to take the
course. A trial, however. proved this
was mistake. The ladies' of Mo
line give Mrs. McCurdy and Mrs
Gleason considerable praise for the
work they have done, for the founders
of the school did not think the patron
age was sufficient to warrant its con-
tinuation. Accordingly the equipment
was for sale and the Rock Island
board secured it.
The New Apparatus.
The equipment includes hollow
table in the shape of a square, with
openings at two sides. This is di-
vided into "a parts, each part consist
ing of portion of the table top and
drawer in which dishes, cutlery, etc,
are kept Each division has gas
burner for cooking. Besides this there
is gas range, refrigerator and
many of the articles thought neces-
sary in modern kitchen. The equip
ment was made by the Moline Furni-
ture company and is fine piece of
work
The course of instruction starts
with the simple elements of house
keeping.
The Course Given.
The girls will learn what experience
has shown to be the best way OF set
ting table. the proper way to clear
it after meal, the disposition of the
left over eatables and what to do with
the waste The washing of the dishes
is treated almost as a science; every
little particular which will aid in the
sanitary condition being dwelt upon.
Following this the preparation of
foods is studied. The girls learn how
| to make the dainties of the table as
well as the necessities. Even the
material in foods is given close study,
so that foods harmful to the body
MAY be readily recognized.
For Older Girls First.
While not yet definitely settled it is
expected that for the first year at least
the high school girls and the eighth
grade girls will be- allowed to take
| the course. If it is as successful and
as popular as expected the instruction
will be carried farther down the
grades. The plan is similar to that
followed in the Inauguration of manual
training here
The Moline school is to close May
s and the next day the apparatus will
be brought here. 1t will be installed
in The high school during the summer
months and will be ready for use next
| fall.
