Samuel Rllggles was a native ~
Brookfield, where he was born in 1895.
When the American Board decided to
undertake the carrying Of the Gospel
to the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Ruggles
offered himself to the work. He had
recently married Miss Nancy Wells,
and the young couple entered with
spirit into the great undertaking. Mr..
Ruggles also persuaded his sister,
Lucia Ruggles, then a teacher, to join
the band. She and her husband, DIR.
Holman. sailed with the company in
1919. Upon reaching the islands tho
news that came to them was that King
Kamehameha |. had just died, and that
idolatry had been overthrown. Thus
the way had been opened for them.
They were allowed to land and remain
one year on trial,
Samuel Ruggles and wife, with Rev.
Samuel Whitney and wife, were as
signed TO Waimea, on the Island of
Kauai, the other members of the party
being assigned to other islands. His
contribution to the pioneer work at the
Hawaiian Islands was that of teacher
and translator. He, with others, re-
dnced the language of the Sandwich
Islanders into an alphabet and gram
mar Thirteen letters only were nee
essary TO spell the vernacular. In 1929
the first spelling book was printed
The king. Kamehameha II, COM
manded every one in his kingdom to
attend the schools of the missionaries
and learn to read, with the result that
in few years thousands of the people
could both read and write. Mr. Rug
giles laborss as teacher and translator
were great. He remained fourteen
years Before his withdrawal from the
islands the translation of the New Tes-
lament had been completed, Rev.
Hiram Bingham being the greatest fac
tor in this work, and later, in 1889,
the entire Bible was translated
While on the voyage to the Islands,
Mrs. Holman kept journal which has
recently been given into the possession
of Miss Hawley. She wrote under date
of January 20, 1920, when near Cape
Horn, f'Today Sunday there was
preaching in the cabin by Mr.. Bingham

street eorner huis or the laborers on
the roads. The men Kauai sends are
men who have proved their worth at
home, have managed businesses and
plantations, earned professional credit
and demonstrated that their claim to
leadership was founded on something
better than the gift of CAB or the fac
ulty of always landing somehow at
the public trough.
Naturally. when men like these come
to the Legislature they cut wide
swath among the Coelhos. the Kalei-
opus. the Kealawaas and that class.

Oahu has a stronger delegation than
usual. but there is still plenty of room
for improvement. The Fifth has one
good man in Correa and another IN

Kaleiopu the poorest. but the voters

right, but he lacks the savey.
Kaleiopu has been a distinct disap-

BY many during the campaign that
Kaleiopu would be defeated, and this
feared defeat was regarded as some
thing that would prove a loss. As it
turns out, the county lost through not
having left him at home to stay on as
a luna on the roads. He talks on all
subjects at all times, and the smaller
his knowledge of the matter under dis
eussion, the more and the louder ne
talks, while when he has shown flashes
of intelligence this session he has been
on the side of retrogression. 1t was
Kaleiopu who led the fight of the Ha-
waiians against the immigration tax
measure, and his main argument at
that time was the repeated question,

GRAB BILL IS
PASSED IN
HOUSE
Enabling Act Endorsed
on Second Reading
by Senate.

The new enabling act to allow the
payment of certain persons for ser
vices actually rendered to the City and
County of Honolulu passed second
reading in the Senate yesterday through
the adoption of the amending report of
dhe Ways and Means Committee. There
was no opposition to the bill. AS shown
by the appendices to the bin the May
s4S52.4o and the Supervisors payroll,
certified to by the County Clerk,
amounts to $2s, 523.18.
Consideration of Senator Fairchild IS
resolution to fix the office hours of all
government departments from $3.50 in
the morning to p. IN. passed its second
reading amended SO the authority of en-
forcing the hours of labor is placed in
the hands of the Governor of the Ter
ritory. Senator Chillingworth was a
trifie curious about the provisions of the,
resolution, and his questions brought
forth an emphatic statement from SEN
ater Fairchild that he favored decided
reduction in the present distribution
of responsibility and authority.
with a ldJUI1ty VI Hstt Iue 1AUuSE
yesterday passed bill to raise the pay
of all the Republican offieeholders in the
City and County of Honolulu, partieu-
larry pathetic plea being made by some
of the members for an increase in the
pay of the members of the Board of
Supervisors. As usual, nothing much
was said or thought of the interests of

much time they put in lighting the

Immediately afterwards the House
voted down bill to increase the pay
of the road laborers, the last vote being
sensible but not consistent.
These two measures and the long de-
bates thereon took up the greater part
of the time at yesterdays session
Among the routine matters taken up
was the receipt of a petition to appro-
pirate money to erect suitable
statute to the memory of Kauikea-

to be $4,000
Another petition against the passage
of the Moore Whisky Bill came in, this

WIRELESS STATION PROPOSED
FOR TOP OF YOUNG HOTEL

with the United s service With local
station centrally placed it is thought
that the company viii compete for bust
ness mainly with incoming or outgoing
steamers.
Such plant, it is reported, could
not expect to do business directly with
the coast, as only a station like that
located at Kahnku and controlled by
local capital under the managership of
Mr. Baleh, can reach directly from
Oahu to coast wireless stations.

It was refreshing on Thursday to
listen to the House debate in which
Oahu took the field against the other
counties and made a real stand for
what the members considered their
rights. Outside of the merits of the
question altogether, i. was a change
to see the Representatives for a min
ute forget politics and 60 into scrap
on pure conviction, hitting out Justify,
putting real. red blood into their re-
marks and saving what they consider
ed to be the truth. needless of who
might be hurt. Longs speech on that
occasion, when he handed Sout some
wholesome truths to his fellow Hawai-
ians, was probably the best speech from
the standpoint of common sense that
and while the Oahu delegation was
beaten out ultimately IN the vote, the
value of Longs statements have not
been lost. IF the Hawaiians will take
his advice, ponder over it for a while
and get busy. the debate over the per-
sonnet of the Board of Education will
not have been in vain.

House On ordinary occasions he is
