this respect differing appreciably from
the consideration given the usual rivers

Mrs. Knudsen read a paper bef0r the
congress and also enlisted the support
of several of Hawaii IS friends, includ-
ing Commissioner Newell and Forester
Pinchot, to speak on the interest Ha-

was pointed out, for instance, that the
development of the Hawaiian harbOrs
was more than local matter, while
Hawaii was directly and vitality inter

through that in the matter of develop

During the congress Mrs. Knudsen met
the President. Secretary Garfield and
others. and furthered their interest in

joint meeting of the men and women
was held. at which, after the president
of the women S branch had referred in

were suspended until Mrs. Knudsen

the congress is to secure the passing

proposal is to provide what part of

In a communication sent out prior to
the meeting at Washington Mrs. Tom

"This work of the Woman's Ma

peculiarly women's work, for she has
always been the saver, the conserver.
1t is woman S concern because her
home and her pocket book are affected
by the disasters of overflow and trans

concern herself in this matter, when
she has to pay almost double in value,

of the country to the other.''
The plan is to work through the
women's clubs and within a few
weeks Mrs. Knudsen will commence q

Chiefs Deplore the Warfare.
These chiefs plead for a cessation of
the warfare, arguing that it threatens
harm to the service as certainly as the
defects that officers have used to point
their criticisms. They find consolation,
however, in the triumphs their faction
has had in the reappointment of Ad-
miral Mason to be chief of ordnance
and in the additional bureau authority
conferred upon Admiral Caps.
Navy officers who have figured in
the role of critics are resting on their
oars for a while, watching further de-
velopments. They, too, are highly sat
lsfed with changes that have come
about because of the agitation of he

countries, where war is always more

upon the efficiency of fleets. The tax
payers are not content simply with
hearing praise of Navy officers and
men and of the ships of war. News

American newspapers. The faction of
critics among Navy officers declare this

warrants shall be issued or not is now
up to the Auditor.
The Mayor in countersigning took
occasion to state fully his position The
payrolls in those departments, like the
Road Department, where there is a
dispute as to which are the legally ap.
pointed officials and employees, the
Mayor countersigned in the following
form:
Without prejudice to my conten-
tion that the within demand or de-
mands are illegal because in favor of
a person or persons not legally an en-
ploye of the city and county, and
without prejudice to my contention
that the resolution appropriating
money, among other purposes, to pay
the within demand or demands, is IL
legal and void (being Resolution Max
ing Appropriations for the Various
Services of the City and County of
Honolulu), and without certifying
otherwise to the legality of the within
demand or demands, l hereby counter
sign the same. ~
On those payrolls and salary de-
mands where there is no question Of
the appointment of the persons on the
payroll as in the case of the band and
of the deputies of the various elected
county officials, only the latter part
of this form is used, that wherein the
Mayor questions the legality of the
appropriation and wherein he refuses
to certify otherwise to the legality of
the demands.
Although the countersigning is a
matter of concern to the clerk and the
auditor only, Clerk Kalauokalani re-
ported the whole matter to the board,
reading the various forms of counter

A SUGGESTION

We would like to suggest to the
city authorities that after every snow
storm, and particularly early in the
morning before school time, city
Workmen with plows and shovels,
should open up the leading avenues
to the public school buildings. If
this was done promptly and after
every storm we believe that it would
prevent a great many colds and pull
monary illness among our population
CT school children. It is a small mat
ter on the part of the city, and we
have only a few storms during the
winter and the expense necessary to
look after this is small compared
with the good it would accomplish.
Both the teachers and scholars have
to pillow through the snow after every
storm because of this lack of at
tention.

WHAT THE TROUBLE is.

The trouble with the small girl is
that she isn't bigger.
The trouble with the big girl is that
every pair of scales she steps on
gives her weigh.
The trouble with a great many edit
ors is that they don't think one
half as much as they write.
The trouble with the small bay is
that his big sister never was a small
boy herself and so she doesn't know
how the small boy feels.
The trouble with the average hus-
band is that he knows his wife knows
he isn't so big man as he wants the
world to think he is.
The trouble with almost all the mil
listers is that they don't hear other
ministers preach often enough to
know what a really first-class, bang
up sermon is.
The trouble with the young man
in love is that he is insane enough
to think that all the other young
men are making just as big fools of
themselves about his best girl as
he is.
The trouble with the young woman
in love is that she doesn't know
whether she really loves the young
man for himself or for the cara
