MRS. LORD PAID 5000 IN VAIN.

SAN. FRANCISCO, February 1S.-
Mrs. E. J. Lord, wife of Honolulu
contractor, is going TO the inaugural
ball at Washington, and she is going
in fine style. She could have travelled
from Honolulu on the liner Alameda.
but preferred the japanese liner be-
cause, in addition to the fare, it was
necessary to pay fine of 5000 for the
privilege of violating the coastwise
shipping law, The Alameda and the
Tenyo Maru left Honolulu the same
day and arrived here within few
hours of each other. The Alameda g
passengers were ashore first, so that
Mrs. Lord might have saved both time
and money by taking the American
liner
But, as she said yesterday, this is
the first inaugural ball to which she
was ever invited and she wanted to
do the thing properly. Mr.. Lord is in
Washington bidding on some of the
work to be done by the government
at Pearl Harbor He will accompany
Mrs Lord to the ball
Mrs. Lord was summoned to the in
augurai ball by cable. 1t was sent by
her husband from Washington and con
eluded with the request at 'steen dol

DON'T INCREASE THE.
PER CAPITA WATER RATE
Honolulu, TIL, February 20, 1909.

Honolulu, TIL, February %, 1909.
Editor Advertiser: Yesterday IS
Thursday 50 Advertiser tells us that
bill has been introduced into the
Legislature empowering the Superin-
tendent of Public Works to establish
water rates and to require the installa-
ton of water meters, fifty per cent. of
the cost of same to be paid by rate
payers.
As rate-payer, I should like to ask
a few questions. In the first place,
what is the primary object of this b;lls
If it is simply TO provide that each
water-rate payer shall pay his just pro-
portion of the water rates, without in
creasing the relative cost of water per
capita, well and good; this to me seems
fair. But is this the only object Of
the bill? Was it not framed with a
view to charging such a price for wa
ter, as shall compel the rate payers to
increase the revenues of the water
works Department. If this is the case,
then it behooves Honolulu householders
to protest vigorously against the bill.
In tropical city, such as ours, where
abundant irrigation of gardens is an
absolute necessity to F'the city beauti-
full and to the well being of it's
homes, conditions are altogether differ,
ent from those of city of the temper
ate zone, where comparatively little
water is required for irrigation. Ii,
therefore, certain cities of the United
States have installed water-meters and
charge certain price for the water
measured, it does not follow that it
would be just for us to pay the same
price. There can be no true analogy in
j the conditions governing the water.
rates of temperate and tropical city.
For us to pay the same price for water
in Honolulu as we would pay in city
where a far smaller amount per capita
is necessary, would be manifest in
Justice 1t would be putting a premium
on in-kept lawns and gardens.
Hence, if water-meters are to be in,
stalled, let it be with the express under
standing that the price of water will
be such as not to increase the water
rate per capita, over that of the pres
emit system of assessment.
Yours for just division of water
rates, but not for an increased assess
ment to the rate-payer.

The indictment of Sega is the result

Atcherley in Court.
DIR. John Atcherley had his day in
court yesterday, and he made the most
of it. Before the jury in Judge Lind
says court that is to decide whether
he is to go back to the asylum or be
given his liberty, Atcherley question
ed Drs. Emerson and Collins as to their
opinions in regard to his mental re-
sponsibility. Ateherley's questioning of
DIR. Emersonswas rather searching, and
he elected number of replies that
tended to favor his case.
In reply to questions propounded by
Atcherley, DIR. Collins stated with en-
phasis that he thought he should be
committed to the insane asylum. Atch-
erley tried to get DR.. Collins to admit
that he (Atcherley), if a menace to
anyone, could only be considered a
menace to DR.. Wayson or members of
the Board of Health and not to the
community at large. DIR. Collins adj
mitted that that might be true, but he
observed that DIR. Wayson and the mem
bers of the Board of Health were just
as much entitled to protection as any
member or members of the community.
The trial will he resumed Monday
morning.

Milton, Ind, Aug. 13.-During the

Richard McMullen, situated ten miles
south of here was struck by lightning

the barn were stored 500 bushels of
wheat, all of Mr.. McMullen's farm i'm

destroyed. Very little stock was in

The barn was land mark in this

60 years ago. 1t was a combination

HemS Gathered in
From Far and Near
Pulls and Principles.

From Columbus, Ohio. State Journal.
It is reported there are to be more
dismissals for hazing at West Point.
The abuse is said to have increased,
because former cases were condoned
and the guilty ones pardoned. There
was no doubt about the guilt or the
justice of the penalties imposed, but
personal considerations got in their
work, and the shameful sway of po-
litical pull overspread the situation
and favoritism pushed principle aside.
Discipline was treated as mere rub
bish by higher authority, and so there
is more and more hazing, and it will
continue until discipline asks who he
is and not what he is. This personal
tincture in our government has grown
to be an abOmination. It Is contrary
to the spirit Of our institutions; it is
a stab at equal rights; it is making
fish of one and fowl of another, and
1t breaks out in various forms, from
a hazing scrape to buying
an automobile for a Vice President.
They are all symptoms OF the same
tendency.

Democratic Hopes.

From the New York World.
The case Of democracy generally is
not desperate. Few fear that Bryan
ism will seek a fourth defeat None
can have failed to note the advance
made by the democratic position in
1908 over 1900 and 1896. Democracy
is not a mob: it is still an army.
Moreover, it has generals. Twenty
two OF the forty-six states have DEM
ocratic governors, and the list is led
by such strong men as Judson Har-
mon and John A. johnson. elected by
voters who gave Taft, Roosevelt and
Mckinley heavy majorities. OF the
pivotal states" Indiana was barely
saved for Taft, while electing demo-
cratic governor and legislature. and
New York for some years has been
kept precariously republican in state
issues by the despicable leadership of
such men as Murphy, McCarren and
Corners.

Now that the gullibility OF a few
men in Richmond is abroad in the
land. we are sorry that we cannot ex-
cuse their action or make 1t little
less a matter OF easy mark-ed-ness-
for there seems no excuse. nor no 9TH
or name to call it.
II was a common rumor not SO long
ago that two men were operating In
Richmond until q man from Indianap-
oils came over and protested that
these men had encroached on his par
ticular line of confidence game! And
there appears regularly q man or two

good. This being SO. we find some
excuse for the men who fell to the

consolation.

little wonder that after man has

the fair proposition that il the news

Of persons who do the merchants, that
the merchants would make 1t point
to discontinue advertising with them
forever and ever. and silence would be
connivance. The newspaper is the
enemy Of all those who impose upon
the people. The only way 1t can fight
these parasites is by publicity and
warning men to be careful That this
very publicity which the newspaper
uses to protect the merchants and the
people should be mistaken by those
who are stung. as directed at them, is
most unfair. II it were not for the
newspapers these confidence men
would wax rich and retire with for
