WHERE IS THE BLAME?

sition of an industrial trade
should be unbarred is apparent
on all sides.
Multitudes of young men crowd
our high schools, colleges and
universities and from thence
press into some of the so-called
learned professions there to meet
lifelong, miserable failure. Who
has not seen some young man
whom Nature intended for a sue
cessful butcher, baker or barber
scoring a palpable failure in the
pulpit? The legal, medical and
other professions number scores
of men who would have heen in
finitely more happy and useful to
themselves and society had they
become blacksmiths, carpenters,
masons or machinists. There is
no failure so utterly miserable
and irreparable as professional
failure; yet multitudes of young
men annually invite it.
Not all these young men are to
blame. Possibly the greater
part of them are the victims of
foolish parental pride and ambi-
ton. Some of them are the pro-
duct of a false and pernicious
system of education that teaches
to shun work instead of prepar-
ing for work and teaching there
can be no success without work,
constant, earnest, intelligent
work.
A few of these young men
would have learned trades but
they found themselves debarred
from doing so. For this the
labor unions are largely RESPONSE
BILE. They fix the number Of ap-
prentices that shall be instructed
by each employer and require
that preference shall be given to
sons of labor unionists. By this
arbitrary and un-American course
it has become well nigh impossi-
BILE for many boys to acquire de-
sirable trades. That these con-
ditions will be improved in the
near future is not probable; that
ultimately they will be admits of
little doubt.
In the meantime what shall be
done? We confess that we see
little of real merit that may be
done, at present. That our pub
lie schools may give manual
training" will not help matters,
for desultory manual training
can never supply the need for
thorough, specific training given
in view of a definite end. Be-
sides this such training is not
properly within the sphere of
the public school, and no at
tempt to place it there should re-
ceive favorable consideration.
The state might establish poly
technical schools, but present
knowledge and experience along
the lines of polytechnic training
are not greatly encouraging, so
that should not be attempted.
1t is probable that the remedy
may be found in bringing the
public schools back to their origi-
nal function, and re-establishing
the American system of appren-
ticeships which formerly pro-
duced not only skilled mechanics
but intelligent, law-abiding and
patriotic citizens.
The application of this remedy
may lie in a distant future, but
sooner or later it will be applied,
for the present regime is hate
fully arbitrary, utterly un-Amer-
lean, and productive of condi-
tons well-nigh intolerable.

IHE CYNIC.


most intolerable. The chief rea-
son for this is because he is
self-made and a devout worship
er of his maker. He sees no sort
nor element of good in any per-
son or thing. Men are hypo-
critics, liars, thieves, selfish, SEN
sual and immoral.
Old Jack Falstaff, moved by
his own vanity and his desire to
flatter Prince Hal, could say:
There's but two honest men in
all England and one of them
grows DID," Your cynic knows
but one and that is himself.
He may have begun the prac-
tice of his peculiar philosophy by
wagging his head and shrug-
ging his shoulders. Next you
will hear him interlarding his
speech with "buts" and "ifs'. /.
and "possiblys" until presently
he may properly be described as
IAN animated sneer." Sense,
reason, logic, charity, justice, he
will none of these. He is men,
tally and morally jaundiced. To
his vision everything is distorted
and dressed in false colors. Vir-
tue is hidden vice; honesty is
cloaked roguery; religion is a
frenzy; faith is folly and trust is
the acme of unwis dom.
Of what use are such men?
They are miserable themselves
and cause others much discom-
fort. Who has not had his
spirits depressed and his clear
sky clouded over with the murky
haze created by some confirmed
cynic? Il is of no use to induce
them to seek the bright side of
things because nothing presents
bright side to them. When
your patience is quite gone and
you kindly intimate they should
go hang themselves, they will ac-
cuse you of insincerity, although
you have given them the best
possible advice since it suggests
the only remedy for their mala-
dy.
But no one need become a
cynic even though he have as
great provocation as had Timon
of Athens. We may easily re-
tain our faith in our fellowlnen
if we will. Suppose we have
met scores of men who we are
sure should be branded on the
forehead with such warning as
"cave canem," we should not
regard all men as dogs. If we
cannot avoid this conclusion we
may at least remember that
there are at least good honest
dogs and keep on the lookout for
them. We may fnd a wolf mas
q:o~sding in sleeps clothing.
What then? Shall we assume
that all sheep are but wolves?
Hardly! But in the interest of
the innocent and useful sheep we
should make sure of the wolf
and put him out of business. ~
We should not take ourselves
too seriously. A little honest
self-eXamination will probably
convince us that we are no bet
ter nor wiser than the mass of
our fellows and that they would
not be out much should we fail
to respond to CHECK roll CALL"
Refuse to indulge in fault
finding. An old English poet,
who would be bad misfit today,
wrote:
''What are others faults to me?
l have not a vultures bill
To pick at every fault l see
And make it wider still.
1t is enough for ms to know
That have faults of my own
And on myself my care bestow
And let my friends alone"
Do not carp and whine. If
you must fight come out into the
open manfully and courageously

TIDAL WAVES
SCORE SEVEN

There was bitter disappointment for
the Tidal Waves at Aala Park when
the Wickman team failed to show up
yesterday afternoon Four players on
iy appeared and so there was no pos,
sibility of game.
The Tidal Waves being all on the
ground they looked round for other
worlds to conquer and were aeeommo-
dated by a nine from the Riverside
League, most of whom were Asahis.
Correa pitched for the Waves and held
the other side down to a few scattered
hits and two runs while his own men
batted out seven tallies.

YACHTSMEN
ENJOY RIDE
Visitors Are Taken on Trim
Round the Island Amid
Novel Scenery.

Forty visiting yaehtsmen Returned
from an automobile trip round tn,
island last night, declaring that they
had had the ride Of their lives. They
went as the guests of the Chamber OF
Commerce, and were taken entirely
round the island with stops at Haleiwa
and Pearl Harbor for breakfast ana
lunch, respectively.
The start was made at six o clock
from in front of the Young Hotel. The
route lay over the Pail and along the
weather side of the island; then round
to Halelwa, where breakfast was serv.
ed, This was rather a late meal of its
KIND. for they reached there at eleven
o'clock
After the visitors had taken aboard
the excellent ballast provided for them
j. f. Morgan, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, made speech. in
which he spoke of the friendly rela-
lions which have been established be
/ tween ths cities represented by the
yaehtsmen and the Hawaiian Islands
He laid stress on the advantages to
UC ASAANSQ Nv q SUNNI entente coz
dale between the different chambers
of commerce.
When the yachtsmen reached Pearl
Harbor, they were entertained by the
Yacht Club at lunch and then, as il
was deemed too late for the proposed
trip on the waters of the bay, the re-
turn was made to Honolulu arriving
here shortly before six o'clock.
Yachtsmen who were seen last night
had no words too emphatic in which ia
express their pleasure and enjoyment
of the trip. 1t was something new for
nearly all of them to ride swiftly over
smooth roads between pineapple plan
tations and fields of sugar cane. They
Were especially impressed by the view
as they came in sight of Pearl Harbor.
The magnificent stretch of inland water
with the blue sea beyond, fecked with
giistening wnltecaps, appealed to them,
lovers of the ocean as they are.

bleachers, but did not improve his bunt
ing. for he lobbed three balls outside
the line and retreated. Olmos reached
second, but VIII Chillingworth famed
and Louis went out at first, so he got
no farther.
Kanki came ups first for the Keios
and he waved his bat in very de-
termined way. He walked, Ohashi
walked. and Sasaki might have walked
only that he saw a chance to bunt,
which same hunt sent Kanki home, via
Sam Chillingworth IS error. Sasaki and
Ohashi both stole bases, and then Flu
kuda did some more bunting which,
with viii Chillingworth 5 error, put
Ohashi over. Koyama made a neat
base-hit which gave Sasaki time to
reach the plate, and the Keios had
scored the only three runs of the game
for their side.
Sam ChillingwoTth sacrificed very
neatly in the second and landed Cos
tello, also putting Davis at third. Then
Abe dropped Joe Fernandez sky
scraper, and Davis scored. This made
the score to 2 in favor of the Japs.
Will Chillingworth did little better
in the second inning, and he famed
two in the third, but he evidently did
not feel up to snuff, for he was re-
placed by Leslie in the fourth.
The Diamonds scored two more IN
the fourth, both of them off Eddie s
hit to left-field about which the dispute
arose. From then to the seventh there
was no more scoring. Eddie Fernandez
came in on a wild pitch in this period,
and Joe Fernandez chalked up another
tally in the eighth, making the score o
to 3.
Koyama had been pitching steady
game until the ninth, when he lost his
grip and started in by walking two
men. This gave the sparklers chance
and they began to score. Leslie ran IN
from second on Higo's error, and then
Costello came In on a neat steal to
third and run in on hit. Sam Chill
lingworth was at second and Davis at
the bat when Fukuda and Higo both
made wild throws. Sam romped in and
Davis reached third, whence he had no
difficulty in reaching the plate on
Kanki's error. This made the score 10
to 3. and the Keios were unable to do
anything in the second half of the in
ming.
The detailed score was:

YACHT HAWAII
LIGHT AND FAST

The yacht Hawaii had a chance yes
terday TO show what she could do under
lighter conditions than when she enter
ed the transpacide race After being
pulled out of the water on the ways
at Lyle's yards and having about five
tons of ballast removed. she was taken
out for spin on the bay by H E.
Cooper and some of the friends who
viii act as crew during the race to
HiFo.
Everybody who was aboard is of the
opinion that the yacht is very much
more lively under the new conditions.
She is quicker in STAYS and much faster
in a light breeze. The removal of the
ballast has made no difference to her
stiffness and she stands up in the stiff
breeze outside the head as well as when
she started for San Pedro.
The party boarded the yacht before
9 clock in the morning and they
were outside the harbor by half past
nine. Thence the yacht was headed for
the channel between Oahu and Molokai
and she was put into the rollers for
several miles. Then the helm was up
and they headed back towards Pearl
Harbor. This set the wind abaft the
quarter and she acted splendidly, hold
ing steady and gaining remarkable
speed with her sheets just comfortably
Stacked off
Commodore Cooper expresses himself
as being well pleased with the trial
and is highly confident that the Ha-
waii viii be the first to poke her nose
past the whistling buoy at HiIo.

HAWA|I'S COATS ARE
CAUSING TROUBLE

According to a writer for Forest and
Stream, the wild goat of Hawaii has
in recent years become serious menace
to agriculture in various parts of the
Territory. Secure among the almost
inaccessible cliffs of the mountains,
thousands of these nimble animals find
eongenial home, and although no sys-
tematie efforts have as yet been in.
augurated for exterminating them, they
are nevertheless extremely wary and
difficult to approach.
California and Australia have had
their scourges of rabbits, and various
Western States still have their troubles
in combating prairie dogs and gophers,
but these pests injure the agriculturist
directly by attacking his growing
crops, while on the other hand the goats
of Hawaii do the same thing indirectly
by running the mountain forests which
conserve the rainfall on which the
water for irrigation purposes is depend
ent. This was not for a long time APP
preciated, but of late years, with the
rapid increase in the number of goats,
it has become very apparent. In some
sections of mountain districts, once
heavily wooded, there is now scarcely
any vegetation at all, due solely to the
destructive feeding of the goats.
Goat hunting is a popular diversion
in some parts of the Territory, and as
a sport is by no means to be despised.
Although the animals are numerous, il
requires some hard tramping and
climbing to get to their haunts, and
then a true aim and good eve for dis
tanee in order 70 have much success.
Occasionally parties are organized and
a week or more spent in goat shooting,
with the result that sometimes several
hundred are slaughtered. Were it not
for the injurious characteristics of the
little animals the slaughter would seem
wanton in the extreme, for no value
is placed on the carcass, and it is
left where it falls Indeed, the
character of the mountains would often
make it difficult TO secure the quarry
after it is shot, and it is only in case
of an especially large animal, which the
hunter may desire to secure as a tro-
ply, that any attempt is ever made TO
recover the body.
The fact that there seems to be no
market for the skins prevents their be-
ing hunted for any other purpose than
the sport, or In order to reduce their
numbers where they have become es-
peeiaily troublesome. Could some use
be found for the skins, there Is no
doubt that a great number could be
secured at little cost. The goats are

they have increased very rapidly after
breaking away from the dominion OF
man.

MARINES PLAY
DOUBLE-HEADER

The Arethusa Marines baseball team
worked hard enough yesterday morning
at Atkinson Park, for they played a
double header, winning the second
game but going down to defeat before
the Kewalos by score of IL to T. The
second game was against the sailors
from the same ship and the latter
could tally only runs to their oppo-
nents 13.
Anderson and Butler both made
three base hits for the Marines in the
first game. while the two-baggers are
too numerous to mention. Both games
were filed with clever plays and hard
hitting and the scores are no criterion
of the evenness of the games.

SPORTING NOTES
FROM MAUI

After the Keios visit Hilo next
month, it is expected that they will
stop in Mani for few DAYS and play
games with teams picked from the
league on the island. The Morning
Stars. Healanis, Kahuluis, Waikapus
and Ilimas viii contribute representa-
tives TO the picked teams and some
good baseball should result.
Arrangements are on foot TO have
the Kauai Polo Team visit Maui and
play series there.

THE SECOND GAME.

The AlI-Hawaiians went in first and
made things hum from the start. En-
Sue singled and reached third on Ed
die Fernandez base hit. Then Burns
came up and singled neatly which sent
Sue home. Eddie ran in on a passed
ball while Burns reached third. Bar
ney Joy walked in and scored Burns
with safe hit after which Vannatta
sacrificed Barney to second without
avail for he was run out at third and
then Leslie famed.
The sailors did not make very
great impression in the first period at
the bat. Tighe. Seegar and Daniels
were all out at first in quick succession
and everybody began to think that
there would be walkover. But See
gar came up strong in the second and
