CROSSING THE BAR

4&PPlRIObb ASN ~NS~~~ carries a pathetic and hopelessly un- philosophical little poem. It was writ ten by Charles Hanson Towne, and the first two stanzas go in this wise:
 The flags are hung half-mast today,
 But they Il all be high to-morrowI
 This is the big worlds cruel way.
 And this is how we sorrow!
 A moments grief, a brief delay
 From blow, and field, and furrow.
 The flags are hung half-mast today,
 But they'll all be high tomorrow.
 Oh, well, what if that be true? Cheer up! Let us see if we cannot mingle thanatopsis with New Years joys, and be none the worse or less happy for 1t.
 Why should there be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth when we let go these earthly things and depart to another Efe-somewhere, mayhap, as Senator Chandler says, among the stars7 If We have wrought well, oven in a few things, and little things, We should like, we think, to be held in kindly recollection by such friends and dear ones as We leave behind. But day of half mast fer the flag and sigh for the severing of earthly ties-no more should we in reciprocal kindness ask? How much sweeter seems the thought that we are remembered only in joy that the mental picture of us as we were should cause some one to smile rather than lapse into sadness and tears, idle tears!
 From the St. Louis Post Dispatch wa clip this little story:
 "A railroad brakeman was taken
 to the City Hospital, where sur
 geons removed his mangled legs
 above the knees, leaving him what
 many would have called a hopeless cripple. But this brakeman was
 not hopeless. Hardly had he re-
 covered from the effect of the an-
 esthetic when he began planning
 his future.
 He made no complaints; he had
 no grievance against himself nor grim fate. He carried little ac- , cident insurance, and the loss of his legs meant that he would receive about S2,0o0, not enough to support him in idlencss. He discussed the
 various possibilities, and decided
 he would invest the money in cigar store. He could run that bus
 mess without legs, and the future
 looked bright. Then he lay back
 on his bed and dropped into the
 sleep from which there is no awak- } ening.'

There died gentleman jrnafraid, al belt an humble brakemanl Do you suI pose he wanted any of his loved one to sorrow and look up nevermore t the smiling face of nature, and be glad = He was one of those rare souls wh |, gather sunshine, and accept the inc dental storms of life with calmness an . serenity.

MANUAL TRAINING on KAUAI.

The special attention of But e.
{ IL. readers, particularly readers in
Kauai County, is called to the de-
scription published in another col
umn Of the splendid exhibition OF
the Kauai schools given at Lihue.
This exhibition is a demonstration
of what the pupils have done in man
ual training as well as in book
learning" Kauai parents and Kauai
school-children are proud OF the rec
ord.
Is 1t not, therefore, remarkable
that the principal opposition to the
Misunderstanding item in the appro-
priatlon bill should be found among
the members of the Legislature from
Kauai?
Would 1t not be well for the legis'
lators to study the example of Kauai
schools and reverse their attitude to-
ward manual training?

OUR REfORMERS and Their
RECORD.

As comment develops on the letter
OF Theodore Richards to Senator Co
elho regarding the lease on his
homestead and his vote on the Local
Option bill, 1t is impossible to es-
cape the conclusion that the alleged
reformers of this town want 1t un-
derstood that Coelho is the man who
; sinned
Z This is not surprising-in Homo
lulu.
We have but to recall the fact that
when the reform" sheriff was dis
covered borrowing money from the
most notorious dive-keeper of the
Honolulu red-light district, the "re-
formers" said it was "only bust
ness transaction" and the reform
sheriff was entitled to a resolution
& of confidence for not only borrowing
money in the red-light district but
accepting Christmas presents from
the notorious dive-keeper.
Having endorsed borrowing by
public officials from dive-keepers, II
is not to be expected that the self
appointed moral censors of this com
munity could see anything wrong In

competence of this executive depart
ment of the Territory?
And how would the enemies OF To-
cal self-government correct this
shortening IL they had their way?
why, they would have any man
who dared to criticise the lovely OFF,
cials who decorate the Territorial
lists indicted and willing courts rail-
road him to Jail in order that some
one may pay the penalty for the i'm
Iperfections of the Territory and sat
isfy the revenge of law. BY way of
explanation, 1t should be recalled
that many OF our good citizens are
morally opposed to admitting that
their friends can do wrong. For In
stance, they hold that when mem
Der OF the Legislature is threatened
on account of the way he has voted,
the member should go to Jail for
having received the threat, and the
author OF It placed among the much
abused reformers deserving the deep
est sympathy

might be had II Senator had voted
right, and would be withdrawn If he
voted to suit his own convictions.
Lest 1t be forgotten. the election
record shows that the reform" sher-
ifr was voted so far into retirement
that reformers dislike to mention It,
II might also be remembered that
this same reform" combination did
its utmost to defeat competent
County officer by covering him with
abuse.
And II should be remembered what
the voters did to the blackmailers
stalking in the guise OF reform.
All of which points to the crafty
ing conclusion that the moral stand
ard OF the average citizen in Homo
lulu is one hundred per cent. higher
than that set by the persons calling
themselves reformers.

FOR CRITICS OF COUNTY GOVERN.
MNT TO CONSIDER. I

When officers of the County gov
eminent get somewhat mixed up or
there are real or imaginary short
comings in any department of Ha-
wallis local municipal organization,
II is the favorite pastime of some of
our citizens to talk in a very superior
tone of how much better the govern
ment would be. or has been, con-
Quoted under the ancient centralized
system. 10.
These men are SO far wrong that
they are hardly worth noticing. Very
recent incidents in the history OF the
Territory, however, have again call
ed to public attention the absolutely
weak position of the critics of the
Counties.
Within the last week, citizens of
this Territory have witnessed tho ex-
hibition of the Legislature in its wis
dom passing a bill absolutely pre-
venting the officers of the Territory
or the Legislators themselves incur
ring any Indebtedness except through
a purchasing agent.
The Governor in his wisdom signed
the bill and made it a law.
Then they all woke up and discov-
cred that they had no purchasing
agent and no provision for one and
the whole thing was a bowling farce
Until portions of the new law are re-
pealed and the scheme amended, the
departments are at standstill.
We can look upon this incident al
part of the process of education o.
our Territorial legislative and exec
utive officers for which taxpayers ar,
putting up. But the ponderous crit
les of the local County government
have no cause to point the finger o
scorn. for the Counties have don
nothing to equal this.
Again, the Territory has recent,
been to great trouble and expense t
extradite a japanese merchant VIII,
left this city after having COMMITTEES
serious financial and business irreg
ularities. The local Japanese mer
chants put up $500. to assist the Ter
ritory In bringing this man bacl,
that he might be prosecuted. Pa
The first result in the course O
justice after all this trouble and ex
pense is the release of the indicte
merchant and phony financier on &C
count of the faulty indictment draw
/ by the Territorial Attorney General
Department. The financier now ha
reasonable time to return fror
whence he came, and put the mel
: chants and Territory to more troubl
and expense. .

ties that can parallel this evident In

Ex-COnvict Lawyer
 Sues Priest for SlOO, ,000

New York. June 22.-Richard F. Price, a disbarred lawyer, formerly of 26 Court street. Brooklyn, who admits that he has served a sentence in Sing Sing for larceny, and another on the same charge at Blackwell's Island, and is at present in Raymond street jail. awaiting trial a third charge of grand larceny for alleged irregularity in a real estate transaction, has brought suit for $100.0 damages in the Supreme court of Kings county against Father Ambrose P. Dunnigan of the Church of Our Lady of Lor- etta, at Hampstead, L l., charging that the priest induced his wife to leave their home.
 According to Price, the priest, who had been his friend for several years, learning that Price had kept his past record and prison sentence secret from his wife when he married her in ter sey City on Aug. 15, 1908, upbraided him in her presence during one of his visits to their home some time last November, and finally persuaded her that it was her duty to leave her hus- band and return to her mother. Since then she has been living with her mother, Mrs. OConnell, in Fifth street, Jersey City, and Price says he has been unable to induce her to return to him.
 Father Dunnigan, through his attor- neys, Dykman, Oeland & Kuhn of 1SS Montague avenue, in his answer to the summons filed in the Supreme court of Kings county, enters a general de- nial of tn echarges made by Price.

The show at Smiths theatre for the first three days of this week was indeed a good one. The management seem ed bent on keeping their word that they would surprise Bridgeport with high class vaudeville for ten cents. The entertainment was opened by Greiner & La Foss, comedy acrobtts, who showed much originality in their line, which nowadays with acts of this kind is a novelty. They finished to applause and no doubt will cause quite a lot of talk among the patrons of this house.
 Moine, singing comedienne. Until re- gently Miss La Moine was a very ac- tive member of Philadelphia's most exclusive society. She embraced the stage as a pastime. From the clever ness that she showed her friends ad- vised her to continue, and in conse- quence Bridgeport has an opportunity of seeing something that is very rare, namely, a woman on the stage who is really clever, who amuses and more than makes good.
 The third number on the program was Tom Fletcher, the well known col ored entertainer who was formerly one of the comedians with Williams &
 Walkers ''Bandanna Land.'' MT. Fletcher has a very entertaining spe- cialty, which judging from the ap- plause, pleased the audience inn mensely.
 The closing number were the two well known comedians, Hoey & Wal ters, who do a comedy talking act and registered laugh at every tick of the clock.
 The moving pictures were first class in every detail.
 The show is suspended for today only to allow the High Schools Grad uation Exercises. The Bostock & Hen messy shows resume Wednesday mati- nee and will continue every day for the balance of the summer without fur ther interruption.
