GREATEST OF WIZARDS.

Charlie Frazier's bill-boards are
flaming with Joel Cohen's coming
wizard The Carter. They probably
call this particularly advertised ma
gician The Carter so as not to con-
fuse him with local Carriers, one of
which is an ex-governor.
But this is not to be any narrowing
details about Fraziers, or Cohens or
Carriers. Some sort of a start had to
be made and a running jump is as
good as any, so wizard is the text,
which brings this epistle to the Homo
lulans right smack down to the great
est wizard we ever had in our midst, a
wizard who bids fair to remain for
a precious long time. I refer to the
'moving-picture."
There was never anything came into
the Paradise of the Pacific like the
moving picture. The moving picture,
or motion-picture, "ten- cent-show," or
anything you like to call it, has stack
ed up more results, easily observed or
not than anything that has struck
these Pearls.
Honolulus moving-picture shows
have accomplished more in the way of
education, amusement, entertainment,
inspiration, ideals, reform, reconcilia-
ton and general betterment and hap
piness than have all the public schools
private and public churches, fleets, pro-
motion committees, doctors, lawyers,
flesh-and-blood theaters, and police.
The only educational rival of the
moving picture is the newspaper.
Read newspapers and go to the NOV
ing-picture shows and you can fly high
in a mental atmosphere it would take
years to acquire in combined theolo-
gical seminary and encyclopedia fac
tory.
THE KISSING BUG.
This won't sound like eXaggeration,
at least as far as the moVing-pictures
are concerned, when you consider the
facts.
Listen!
Do you know that there is less kiss
ing on the lips since the moving pic
ture epidemic set in? It's fact.
The French films exhibited here are
teaching hundreds of Honolulans the
trick of osculating the cheek (both
cheeks if you are very enthusiastic),

DREAMS COME TRUE

which fact should gladden. the collec-
tive heart of the Board of Health, for
thus is the kissing bug coated out of
much that it detrimental to the COM
mon health.
ROMEO HAS BETTER CHANCE.
While there is no audible conversa-
ton accompanying the moving-picture
scenes, the motions are so realistic that
the most supplemented can scarcely
misunderstood what is meant, and one
of the results of this silent eloquence
is a variety if not an improvement in
the way in which the proletariat makes
love. The younger set of girls of the
middle class, who have been attend
ing the "ten-cent' shows seems to de-
mand little more of the Romeo and
a little less of the ordinary swain in
the gentle art, and, of course, the boys
have to come up to the demands of the
gentler sex. A few months ago a boy
and a girl would walk out" and Chew
the rag several weeks before any
tangible sign of serious affection was
manifested on either side, but now,
since the cinematograph has held sway,
the young man must needs take his
lady's hand and impress thereon an
ardent OSCILLATION, preliminary to later
implanting kiss upon her lips In
some Of the moving pictures the kiss
ing is progressive and from the finger
tips the course is to the wrist, thence
to the forearm, then to the biceps,
providing the lady wears short sleeves,
and then, by natural sequence, to the
cheek, or even to the obicularis mus
cles to wit:--the lips. All of which
is beneficial, for it serves to idealize a
proposition which can stand all the
ideals man ever invented.
DRAMATIC THOUGHT IMPETUS.
Aside from education, amusement,
and all the other effects, there is the
dramatic influence which has a good
result, for the simple reason that the
more dramatic a situation may be the
more it helps folks to think; and l
have observed in the brief course of
one evening an ordinarily supposed
to-be stupid person manifest an APP
probation of some little dramatic in
cident, whereas that certain individual
perhaps, had never before seen or been
impressed by anything dramatic. That
revealed the possibilities in that GER
tain Individual. For example: On
Wednesday evening dropper in at the
Art theater ana there they put on some
scene from the life of Christ. 1t began
with Jesus washing the feet of his dis
ciples and ended with the suicide of
Judas through remorse because he had
betrayed his master. During the por-
trayal of this significant story, more
vivid on the screen than was ever told
from the pulpit, an aged, plodd1ng
wage Garner next to me showed signs
of being bored, as if he had before
seen numerous such pictures. But
there came the last scene where the
body of Judas was hanging to a tree
with raven perched sardonically on
the suicides skull, pecking out his
brains. My neighbor stirred, leaned
forward, took a long in-breath, and,
suddenly it seemed saw in the pictured
story some element of philosophy he

KINGS AND WONDERS.
At the Park Theater was exhibited
a film depicting King Edward of Eng
land meeting the King of Italy, and
another film showing aeropianes in
flight Just think of it. Old King
Ned brought right into Honolulu, and
a scene of the latest world wonder, the
aeroplane successfully manipulated!
What better world-rubbing educational
subjects than these can you imagine?
One gets in the habit of thinking a
king of so great realm as Great
Britain to be little tin god on wheels
but there was nothing of sign of
wheels about Edward. He appeared
as sane, sensible, quite human en-
tity, nervously Tipping his cigarette
butt over the rail of the vessel upon
which he was standing, while holding
royal converse with Italy's monarch,
as much as to say: cts a beastly bore,

that I'm in for it," When he'd much
rather be cooking his legs in his pri-
vate den, with his collar loosened, and
perhaps reading the Police Gazette or
listening to bit of gossip from some
the peerage. -
WE'RE NOT THE ONLY PEBBLES.
Far countries, strange lands; beau
tiful scenery surprising even that
which we see every day from Punch
bowl or Makiki; elegant household in
teriors which cannot be duplicated in
Punahou; women as fair as the fairest
in these islands of fair women; people
of all times, and creeds, and colors,
and dominions, pass perpetually night
after night before the absorbing eyes
of Americans, Europeans, Chinese, Jap
anese, Hawaiians and the blends of all
of him, leaving impressions that will
never fade, making mental marks that
will never wear out, improving points
of view, broadening understandings,
increasing interest in living and, above
all, making spectators realize that these
little isles in the middle of the Pacific
are not the only heaps of dirt in the
big universe, and that their people are
not the only folks under the spreading
blue.

The Lamp of
Poor Souls.
By Marjorie L. c. Plckthall.

(In many EnLhth churches before
the Reformation, little lamp was
kept continually burning, called the
Lamp of Poor Souls. People we're re-
minded thereby to pray for the souls of
those dead whose kinsfolk were too
poor to pay for special prayers and
masses.)
Above my head tie shields are stained
with rust.
The wind has taken his spoil the
moth his part.
Dust of deau men beneath my knees,
and dust,
Lord, in my heart
Lay Thou the hand of faith upon my
fears,
The priest has prayed, the silver bell
has rung,
But not for MIN. o unforfotten tears,
He was so young!
Shine, little lamp, nor let thy light
grow dim.
Into what vast dread dreams, what
lonely lands,
Into what griefs hath death delivered
him,
Far from my hands?
Graded is he, with half his prayers
forgot
can not learn the level way he goes.
He whom the harvest hath remember
er not
Sleeps with the rose
Shine, little lamp, fed with sweet oil
of prayers;
Shine, little lamp, as Gods own eyes
may shine,
When He treads softly down His starry
stairs
And whispers Thou art Mine

Shine, little lamp for love hath fed

hands set free.

to illustrate the futility of wickedness

CALL FOR CONVENTION.
Governor Sanders Wants Better Child
 Labor Laws.

Baton Rouge, La, February 14.-Gov- ernor J. Y Sanders of Louisiana issued call for a convention to be held in New Orleans on March 29, 30 and 31 for the purpose of taking action looking to the establishment of uniform child and woman labor laws and the possible bet terment of conditions in this connection throughout the south
 The governors of Kentucky, Tennes- see, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi. Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Virginia and Mis- souri have been invited to attend in person and to send delegates from the various labor unions, manufacturing en- terprises and woman's organizations throughout their respective states.
 In his letter addressed to the several governors, Governor Sanders says:
 "It is needless for me to call your at tention to the importance of this mat ter. Commercial activity throughout the south and the multiplication of manu- featuring enterprises render it necessary to prepare and press uniform child la bor laws and legislation generally look ing to the betterment of the condition of woman and child labor throughout the south"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-15
Presidential Succession

Every contingency in the line of sue cession is provided against except one, and Congress is taking steps to provide against the one in an amend ment reported from the senate com mittee on judiciary, as follows:
 In all cases not provided for by Article II, clause ,, of the Constitution, where there is no person entitled to discharge the duties of the office of President the same shall devolve upon the Vice Presi- dent. The Congress may by law provide for the case where there is no person entitled to hold office of President or Vice President declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly until the disability shall be removed or a President shall be elected.
 As things stand if MT. Taft should die before March 4, no one could law fully become President. If he should die after March 1, MT. sherman would become President, but MT. Sherman's right to the succession is not covered by law if MT. Taft should die before inauguration. This contingency has long been known and it has been often discussed, but Congress has never until recently attempted to fill the gap in the law The adoption of the amendment pending in the senate would leave no possible gap in the Presidential succession, and it would be easy indeed to secure it's adoption before another four years brings around another contingency of like nature. It's passage would enable Congress to act in such a case. Con gress is always in session at such time. and the proposed amendment would extend its power to cover the omission.

Thou hast metal enough in thee to kill
 care. Much Ado About Nothing.
South African Confederation

The war between Great Britain and the Boers is still fresh in the public mind It took place only five or six years ago, and yet so settled have af- fairs in South Africa become that to- day the mother country is cooperating with the provinces to form South African confederation. Either a sec ond Australia or a second Canada is to be organized The Natal, the Trans yaal, the Orange River state and the Cape are to form a confederation of some kind and select capital.
 It is believed the present bounda- res will be abolished, and the terri tory will be split up into six states, each endowed with a single chamber legislature, while at the capital will set the South African legislature. The capital will be either Capetown or Pretoria, probably the former.
 At the latest accounts only one diff ficult question remained to be settled, and that related to the status of the natives. They vote at the Cape, put the Boers do not like them well enough to put them on an equal footing. Whichever way the question is set tied it seems to be pretty well de- termined that there is to be a South African confederation, and that it's jurisdiction will be carried well up to the railroad that the British are build ing from Cairo to the Cape.

THE MOOR AND HIS HORSE.

From the London Spectator.
 The horsemanship of the Moors is prim- itive and entirely successful. A Moor never walks when he can ride and never by any chance gets off to ease his beast. How a Moorish pony would have chuck led at the weary walks enforced on tired men by well-meaning cavalry colonels in South Africal He would have said to himself: q don't think much of ami mals that can't carry 15 stone 15 hours a day; must be really superior kind of beast'
 The Moorish (and Goumier) horse all ways spends his nights in the open; he is never greonled nor clipped; his youth is passed wandering unattended over the vast fields. When in work he gets all the barley he wants at night and drink before his feed fin the evening From z a. m. to D. m. he expects to work and to work hard without bite or sup. His saddle is a wooden tree superimposed on at least half dozen folded blankets the thickness of which often reaches six inches, and he never gets a sore back.
