A Toast To Laughter

Here's to laughter! the sunshine
of the soul, the happiness of the
heart, the leaven of youth. the privi-
lege of purity, the echo of innocence.
the treasure of the humble, the
wealth of the poor; thesbead on the
cup of pleasure, it dispels detection,
banishes blues and mingles melan-
choly, tor its the foe of woe, the
destroyer of depression, the enemy
of grief; it is wha: kings and, plu-
tocrats envy the poor, the guilty
envy the innocent; it's sheen on the
silver of smiles, the ripple on the
waters of delight. the CLINT on the
gold of gIadness. without it humor
would be dumb. wit would wither,
dimples would disappear, and smiles
would shrivel, for it's the glow of a
clean conscience, the voice of a pure
soul, the birth-cry Of mirth, the
swan song of sadness. Laughter"

WANTS PROTECTION
OF AMERICAN FLAG

Taken by the police rrom the Am
erican schooner Mary E. Foster and
declared to be a deserter from the
Italian cruiser Calabria, a mariner
was today hustled to a cell under a
requisition issued by the Italian con-
sular representative here, reward
incidentally figuring in the arrest.
The so-called Italian sailor. how
ever, is a member of the Sailors
Union, was working aboard an Amer
can vessel when apprehended, is
even said to have taken out his first
papers as an American citizen, and,
to boot, it is not at all positive that
he is the man alleged to have desert

In any event, the matter was has

AONOLULAN TO Be
FINE STEAMSHIP

The new steamer Honolulan of the
American Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany, which is being built near Phi
ladelphia for the San Francisco Homo
lulu run, will be a great addition to
the freight fleet of transpacific steam
ers plying between here and the main
land.
The officials of the American-Ha-
waiian line have been considering for
long time the building of a combina-
tion freight and passenger boat, finally
deciding that the Honolulan would be
just what was wanted for this trade.
Maintaining regular 2S-day di-
rect service, the new steamer will run
between here and the coast in a little
less than seven days. Spacious ac-
commodations both single and en- suite
will be at the disposal of the traveller,
and these will be as fine, If not finer
than in any, ship plying here now.
Broad spacious decks for the use of
the passengers with all rooms amid
ships make something that has been
wanted for a long time.

in perpetuity devoted to the instruc-
ton of the youth. So important is
this principle of inviolabiIity, that pro-
badly no school revenue system in the
world can reach the highest degree of
efficiency without it's practical and be-
neficent workings"
The principle of local fiexibility and
adaptation the Commission says. lis
coming to be understood the world over
in every department of human interest
1t constitutes one chief excellence of
our American scheme of government;
and it must assuredly have place among
our schools. Throughout the coun-
try it is very largely and effectively
secured by allowing counties and school
districts a reasonable option. Does
city wish to add cookery or the
training, within specified limits the
voters and local authorities have the
privilege. Any enterprising commu-
nifty can push forward, and thus lead
on all the rest
AS to the principle of personal con-
tribution and initiative the Commits
sion has this to say:
"In every great movement parti-
cular individuals are moved to give
personal assistance or even to add
new facilities. This is nobly true in
matters of education, and even in con-
nection with our public schools sys-
TENS. We must invite the gifts of
those who wish to give. We should
not beg but we should afford the op-
portunity.. And this is readily done
by the principle of inviolability. Let
our permanent funo be really perma,
nent Let the private citizen know
that he car add to the volume of that
fund through the fastening years. Let
him even add new endowment, a
pension that will endure long after
he himself has gone. This private
benefcence will in time greatly ex-
pand our public resources"

BRITISHERS' RIGHT USURPED
HOW TO MAINTAIN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

/ A paper containing information de-
sired to be presented to the public
by the School Fund Commission was
handed to The Star late this after
noon
1t shows that general plan through
out the country involves a perma-
nent fund anu a current fund.
The permanent fund is sacredly kept
intact, only the income from it being
used, while the current fund is de-
pended upon from year to year to
maintain the educational system.
The permanent funds are derived
largely from the sales or rentals of land
granted by Congress. or from pubHc
lands oNtne state or territory, but also
from a variety of special revenues de-
fined and set apart by statute.
The current funds are derived from
the income of the permanent funds,
and from taxes together with large
variety OF special revenues defined and
set apart by statute. These sources
of revenue comprise all those from

tory. They include also gifts, grants
and devises by individuals, escheats,

dends and marriage fees-sources as
yet foreign to Hawaiian public fin
anees. A specific tax for education in
various states is mentioned, which sur

sion on the principle of stability pro-

gether with tnat of inylolaBllity. On
the latter point the Commission says:
"This is secured by such statutory

pressions. the majority of the laws

Sheriff Jarrett that he had no right
to arrest the man. and that if the tia
lian consulate wanted him it should
have communicated with the Federal
authorities.
The police contemplated sending
the alleged deserter to follow his
ship to Shanghai, but it is doubtful
if such action could be taken even by
the United States authorities here
without due extraditiOn proceedings.
In the meantime the sailor makes
his appeal for the protection of the
Stars and Stripes, having no desire
to be deported, and the matter is be-
ing investigated by the United States
District Attorney, r. w. Breckons.

r That Honolulu, as the center Of the
arena of activities strategic, is to go
the limit and reach every Importance
in affairs military is evidenced by the
latest sensation In the way of tactics,
or contemplated tactics.
From a reliable military source comes
the information that this island is
soon to be the scene Of aerial expert
ments and that the specially adapted
vale of Leilehua, or that beautiful
region between Waialua and Pearl
City, empanked on two side by con-
siderable mountains, is before long to
witness the trying-out of United States
flying machines.
While the military informant parti-
cularly requests that his name not be
used, for the reason that his intelli-
gence in the premises has been ac-
quired through private correspondence
outside of military circles, from con-
nections in government circles in
Washington, he is nevertheless, with
out hesitancy in stating that this ISL

through the recommendations of GER
tain officers stationed here whose OBJ
servation has led them to believe that
the Leilehua region is especially
adapted to such tests.
This opinion is reinforced by the
realization of certain army experts
that if the flying machine is to be OF
any practical use in warfare it will be

OF particular use in such a position as
that which is commanded by this soon
to-be fortified island.
Aeroplanes, it is expected, will be
used for attacking ships or fleets and
for purposes of observation.
Duping experiments here the re-
venue cutter, to be stationed in these
waters as soon as relieved of duties
elsewhere, will be requisitioned as at
tendent, to rescut aviators who by
ill-fortune may be carried to sea. 1t
is calculated, however, that on low
flights, flights not exceeding the al
titude of the guardian mountain walls
above referred to, there will be little
possibility of aeroplanes wandering
seaward, for at times when the wind is
strenuous from the northeast flights
would be dangerous and therefore not
attempted, unless the machines were
under perfect control; for then a ma
chine would likely be blown over Pearl
Lochs to the ocean and the revenue
cutter woult have chase full of ex-
citement with very probable resultant
danger to the aviator.
The CHER idea is that there is to be
nothing lacking at this post as far as
the most modern military devices are
concerned, and it is safe to say that
whatever the army or the navy does in
the way of advance, this island will be
one of the first stations to feel the
innovation.

GIRL ENDS
HER OWN LIFE
Miss Christina Trojvsky Sends Bullet
From a s2-calibre Revolver
Throught Her Brain.

With a 32-calibre Smith & Wesson

tina Tojovsky,. aged 19, who had been
making her home with the family of
l.. Keiswetter, residing on the Charles

miles northeast of Vinita, was found
at an early hour this morning When
discovered the body of the unfortu-
nate young lody was resting on the
left side. while gaping gunshot
wound in the right temple showed the
manner of her death.
The sheriff's Office was at once noti-
fed and Sheriff Ridenhour aceompani-
ed by two deputies, County Attorney
Brady and DR.. Slough, went out to in
vestigate the affair. After viewing the
remains, examining the revolver, two
chambers of which were found to be
empty, and questioning the parties,

young girl had made her home for the
past three years, the officers decided
that the evidence of suicide was so
plain that an inquest was unneces-
sary.
The only reason the Keiswetters
could advance for the girl committing
the rash act was the fact that she was
given to fits of despondency and
moroseness, often going for days at a
time without speaking to any one.
One peculiar circumstance connect
ed with the shooting was the absence
Of any trace of powder burns about
the face. While the revolver showed
unmistakable evidence of two bullets
having recently been fired from it,
only one took effect in the body of the
girl
A brother of the suicide, who lives
at Horton, Kans., has been notified |

belle, Okla. No arrangements for the |
disposal of the, body win be made UNI
til the relatives are heard from.
