TWAS A YARN
SAYS Mr.. OTOE SO

Editor Evoniug lletin:--
! saw your paper last evening ami
was greatly surprised to read an art
icle in which you state that "thc
strike at Aica was prompted by ono
of the ministers Of the Gospel He
did this in order to win the confidence
of the japanese laborers so that when
the proper time comes. he could In.
ducc them to become members of his
church. Tho Japanese Buddhist min
listers are highly respected by the Jap.
anese people, because they attend TO
their business rcligiously. 1t appears
from the yarn that there is sharp com.
petition for religious followers"
Now since am the only Japanese
minister Of the Gospel stationed at
Aiea, suppose this is meant to
strike" me.
Permit me therefore to state that
is, as you justly say. yarn" In
deed this Is the first time ! ever saw
this word in print and SO ! turned to
my Webster and found that a yarn is
IAN exaggerated story of an extray.
agant nature told not for instruction
nor edifCation but for amusement @. &.
A sailors yarn" And so | am not so
painei as you might suppose because
your account is only yarn, which no
intelligent people will believe.
But in case some misinformcd read
ers should be led astray please per.
init me to say that have had no rcla.
ton whatever with the strike, have
never attended meeting of the strik.
ers. nor advised, nor suggested any
thing for | keep religiously to my own
business.
Also may I state that I and the
Buddhist minister are ON good terms
of friendship. Members also are good
friends. We have no keen compcti.
ton at all. Why should we? This is
all foolish yarn. Kindly allow this
hastily written note place In your
columns and you will confer great
favor. T.
Yours servant.
OTOE so.

What BECOMES OF OUR SCHOOL
CHILDREN.

According to the statistics COM
piled by Superintendent Babbitt a
very good share of the children who
leave our public schools go to work.
Nevertheless the showing is such
that the most disinterested person
can see the need for keeping a closer
watch over the children, both while
in school and after they leave, in
order that the unindustrious unem-
ployed may be reduced TO the small
est possible number.
Mr.. Babbitt in his letter to the
President of the Planters Associa-
ton, reviews the figures that were
given in previous issue Of this
paper from information furnished
by Mr.. Babbitt. The most important
feature of this letter is the state
ment that this Is the first time stat
istics OF this character have been
assembled. 1t is needless to say
! that 1t will not be the last, and we
may be sure that this first canvass
of what is becoming OF our children
will furnish the basis for great
amount of good work in the future.
Mr. Rabbits conclusions and sug
gestiOns are sound. The children
who are each year going out to up
lift or degrade the citizenship of oul
Territory should receive attention
An effort should be made to star
them right after they leave school
If boy Is developing into a loafel
1t is worth a fraction of someone's
time to find out II there Is not som,
way OF putting him to work wher'
he can make something of himsel
and save him from jail.
When the habit is acquired OF fol
lowing the boy and girl after thei
school days are over, there will grow
up better knowledge of what tn
school lacks in equipping the younl
people to make the most of the op
portunities about them, or, as Nj
! Babbitt puts 1t, better prepar
them for the work they are suited t
enter upon.
All this Is lin line with the indus
trial training feature that should b
more generally developed in the pub
lie schools
The good work should go on.

Main Improvements.
The recent cutting off of a certain
amount from the bill OF the Virgin
ia Electric Power 4 Water Co. by
the city dads is seemingly having a
tendency to make that company cit
up and take notice of other matters
wherin the dollars may be made to
roll their way, as evidenced primar.
lily by the absolute refusal to make
the ordered extensions to the North
Side Addition without the placing
of additional hydrauts than the
number ordered, and later by the
presentation of a bill for upwards
OF $500 to the council Tuesday even.
ing for the extension of mains on
Maple street made sometime ago at
the behest OF residents. The com.
pany contends they are entitled to
remuneration and that the bills
have not been paid by residents OF
the district benefited, and therefore
reimbursement for the expense is
sought from The city, under the or
der of which the work was done.
The city attorney advised the
council that in his opinion the body
had no right to order the work done
and the matter was finally referred
for more thought to the light and
water committee comprising Alder.
men Boylan, Smith and Osborn, to
report at the next meeting. The
company or its representatives were
to a great degree the beneficiaries
of the extensions made, and this
fact may have weight in the repor,
of the committee and the findings
of the council.
Because of his intended departure
for Tennessee for the winter H. B.
Bacon rendered his resignation as
a mem Der of the sewer commission,
but action on same was deferred.
The committee has it's report in the
hands OF the clerk on the systems
referred to them. and hearings on
same will doubtless be ordered
later.
A bill Of something above $500
was presented by the Pastoret-I>aw ".
renee Co. for extra work in the con.
structiOn of the storm sewer for the
necessary lowering of water maine.
The city engineer reported the bill
as legitimate, and the account was
referred to the finance committee.

The story is told of a certain
gentleman whose official position"
has stationed him in a city not a
miles from Virginia who
was neatly but uuwitt'ngly trapped
a few evenings since, as he weuded
his way-in the course of duty-to
report his troubles to friend whom
he considered might be able to
lend him desired assistance. It ap.
pears that at the h ome of this friend
was visiting ladv, who upon his
arrival at the house excused herself

ing him by entering another room; !;
that the "report" to be made dealt
largely with the shortcomings and
the overreachings of the husband
OF this particular lady. who, sep
arated by a curtain only, naturally
became an attentive listener; that
the"report" proceeded to- point con-
sidered quite far enough when the
lady emerged into view, and the
gentleman with the "officiai posi-
ton" was subjected to the fret
symptoms of heart failure which
were brought to more acute stage
by the trimming he received in the
English language.
The jolts thus far received by this
same gentleman with the Official
position" since his arrival in the
particular community in which he
at present boards have been suf.

such treatment by any man with
enough sense to pound sand down
a rat'hole, but it is evident the bone
heads are not all dead vet.

on that occasion was laid to my
door. The fact is, collection was
taken up among the teachers, for
the flowers we sent, and we paid our
own bill. If there was any other
bill for flowers know nothing of 1t.
We are running lecture course for
the benefit of teachers, students,
and parents who care to come by
paying. At the last entertainment
the committee of teachers who have
this course in charge paid $4,000
and the board 5000 of the expense
of that number. Capt. James tells
us that this is wasteful expendi-
ture of money and calls it graft. As
a matter of fact the State High
School Board pays to the high
school $4,000 per year to be used
az the superintendent thinks best
for the upbuilding of the high
school. In my humble estimation
the board can afford to use from
this fund $4,000 toward the main
tenance of a lecture course, when
the school children and teachers
raise $4,000 of the expense them
selves.
The above is fair sample of the
stuff he builds his "arguments" on,
in making his attack to members of
the board against me.
Now I submit, Mr.. Olcott, that it
is hard enough to get things along
here on the range, with the un-
toward and severe conditions we
have to contend against, without
having man putting in his whole
time making things worse. You
can change this situation at once if
you will. 1t is in your power. Shall
this enemy of harmony and effic-
iency be allowed to come right into
our school buildings, like a worm
in the heart of rose, and destroy
the good work that is being done
in these schools?
1t costs money to operate system
of schools on an efficient basis, Just
as it costs money to operate any
business On an efficient basis, but I
can give you my word of honor that
every dollar being spent by the
board here, is we'll spent in these
schools. am on the job day and
night looking after every detail and
I want to tell you that there is no
extravagance and waste allowed in
my system. Any one who reports
otherwise is either wiltully ignorant
of the facts. or else his heart and
tongue are maliciously false.
In closing wish to say that any
fair minded peraon can easily as
certain that we have a very efficient
system of schools. that things are
done with dispatch, thereby saving
the time of teachers and children
that while the schools cost some
money, every dollar of it is well
spent, there is no extravaganza, and
waste is practically eliminated. We
ask that we be let alone to do oul
work of educating these foreign
chi1dren, brought to our range by
lnO act of theirs.
Thanking you for your indulgence
of reading thia long letter, aud with
words of the highest appreciation
Efor what you have already done fo1
us, remain.
Very sincerely,

FARES TO GO UP
If WAGES RISE

NEW YORK. Dec. 1i--Vice-Prcsi-
dent James Murdock OF the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen said the
demands for wage increases which will
be made by the men upon the railroads
would amount in some cases TO 100 per
cent. advance. In connection with this
an important statement bearing on the
attitude OF the railroads In the matter
was made by W. c. Brown. president
of the New York Central. lie said
that II any increase in wages is grant
ed there would have to be an increase
in railroad rates.
IF it is true that there has been
an increase in the cost of living since
the increases in railroad wages in lat
ter part OF 1906 and early in 1907" said
President Brown, "then the men are
justified in asking for some further
increase at this time. II no such in
crease in the cost of living
has taken place. then the men cannot
expect more pay. The facts remain
to be determined.
"But Il cannot be stated too prompt
" or emphatically that any increase
whatever in wages, no matter how
large or small, Is impossible without
a commensurate increase in railroad

BOOKS ON ENGINEERING
AND MACHINERY

The mechanics OF the city will be in
terested TO see the list Of books on cngi-
neering and machinery published by the
Free Library. In April 1905, list was
published and thousand copies printed.
It was practically exhausted before year
had passed. and since during that time
many new books have been added and
many old editions replaced by new ones.
It was thought best TO print revised
edition Of the first list. This has been done,
and the list which includes books on
mechanical drawing, machine shop prac-
tlce marine engineering, gas engines rail
roads. shipbuilding. foundry work, plumb
ing, inventions. etc. is now ready for
those who are interested. Copies are
placed on a table at the Free Library Tor
free distribution.
In compiling the list II was thought wise
10 add the date Of publication 10 the title,
so that readers may know how nearly up
to-date the book is. II does not. however,
always follow that when the date is not
recent, the book is valueless. Some books
published 20 years ago have never been
superseded.
