of the Russo-Japanese War there has
been a mischievous tendency among
some of our people to bulldoze and
bait the Japanese, and in other quar-
tiers an almost equally mischievous
tendency to extravagant praise.
coupled with a hysterical dread of
hurting their sensitive feelings.
The dignified and altogether pleas
ant reception accorded to the two
japanese cruisers recently in our har-
Dor is in pleasing contrast to all this,
and it is in a great measure because
did not wish to sound a note of dis
cord in the general harmony of that
reception and entertainment that this
communication has been withheld
until this time.
The Advertiser has been. as a rule,
level-headed and conservative in its
editorial comment on these hot and
cold fits. but I noticed two editorial
statements recently that led me to
think that You had allowed the usual

EMERSON. AN INCIDENT.

Editor Advertiser:-The lecture last
evening by Prof. Babson, recalled an
incident, heard thirty years ago, but
not heard since, so is probably new to
Honolulu.
Many said to me, You must read
Emerson. And when | asked why.
about the best reason given was, Be-
cause everyone is reading Emerson.
/ tried several essays, lectures, poems;
but could not get interested. Or, to
speak more correctly, / could not get a
maintained interest. There seemed to
be too many breaks in the thought. The
thought often did not continue through
a paragraph. And even sentences
seemed to lack connection with each
other. So, as often as / began read
ing, stopped soon for lack of contin-
ued interest.
Later, | was so fortunate as to be
present at one of Bronson Alcott IS
talks. The subject was Emerson and
/ got light on both Emerson and his
writings.
Mr.. Alcott told the following incident
which gave me the light / needed He
called one day on Mr.. Emerson; and,
approaching the house was surprised to
find Mr.. Emerson on his hands and
knees apparently searching for some
thing. On nearer approach he saw the
floor was covered with pieces of paper,
and it was these pieces of paper that
Emerson was examining. Mr.. Emerson
did not see Mr.. Alcott so went on with
his examination till Mr.. A1cott asked,
What are you doing2' Mr.. Elmer
son replied, without changing his po
sision, 9 IN trying to make an essay.
You know l always carry pencil and
pieces of paper when / go out for a
walk. And whenever / have a good
thought, / write it down. | have got
this collection and I am trying to put

Then | returned to my reading OF
Emerson and have understood and en-
loyed him ever since.

THE SIGN LAW.
Honolulu, April p, 1905

Honolulu, April p, 1909.
Editor Advertiser:-W While aware that
the proceedings of the grand jury are
as rule to be kept secret by members
thereof, still in matters affecting the
public welfare and the business life
Of the community, where publicity will
best promote that welfare, 1 deem it
no violation of my oath as a grand
juror nor a disregard of the court S
instructions, in making public such mat
tiers.
AS matters stand just now, the mer-
chants of the city may replace their
advertising signs in front of their
places of business without fear of prose
cution under a law passed in 1868 max
ing such signs a violation of the laws.
Or if they paid no attention to a GER
tain letter under date of December DIST
last, signed by w. l.. Whitney as Acting
Attorney General, they can rest assured
that they will not be bothered further
in the matter and can go on attending
TO their own business just as if Mr.
Whitney had not attempted to lend
them a helping hand.
All of which has been brought about
by resolution introduced at session
of the grand jury asking the Attorney
General s department. to either with
draw the letter in question or enforce
the same without any further delay in
the matter; to either assure the law
abiding merchants who Immediately
complied with the law as laid down
by the letter in question that they were
easy marks, or to force the lawbreakers
{some of them will doubtless be of
Tended at the term) to remove their
signs Immediately.
Mr. Whitney neatly crawfshes out of
the matter by saying that he had de-
layed action against the offenders at
their request to await the session of the
Legislature; at which time the law
would probably be repealed; that the
law had not been repealed but that a
law had just been passed placing such
matter entirely in the hands of the
County Attorney.
The County Attorney being present at
the time, he was asked if he had in
mind any prosecutions in the matter,
but replied to the effect that he had
more sense and Judgment, wherein the
grand jury as whole agreed with him.
Now, Mr.. Merchant, as the matter
stands, if you have sign less than
eight feet from the walk, over three
feet in length or attached to anything
other than the main building, you are
a 1awbreaker. But for the present at
least you will not be prosecuted But
don't you think it time vet to have a
bill introduced and passed at this SEES
sion repeating this law of 1863 and pro-
viding more satisfactory requirements?
Yours truly,
GRAND JUROR.

Preliminary steps with a view to

The Berthold reservation embraces
nearly 100000 acres Of land of
which about 100000 is included in the
northeast portion which Representa-

AUDITORS TO AID COMMISSION.

Elevator and Grain Warehouses Will
Be Made to Dig Up Their License
Money Hereafter.
Secretary Hall of the railway COM
mission has returned to Bismarck
from Minot where he addressed the
convention of county auditors last
week.
The object of Mr.. Hall was to get
the cooperation of the auditors in Sc
curing the names of the elevator and
warehouse firms doing business in
the state and the capacity Of their
house, the data to be used in assist
Ing the commission in collecting the
licenses that are required by the state
before the companies can carry on
their business. The suggestion met
with the approval Of the convention,
and each auditor will collect the data
from his home county and will for
ward it to the Office of the railroad
commissioners at Bismarck. The
copies will be made in duplicate and
will be used by the auditors in secur-
Ing a proper assessment of the prop
erty of the elevator companies and
thus will serve double purpose.

PUT OFF MANUAL TRAINING.

High School Principals Say Wait
Till 1910.
Manual training was the principal
subject Of discussion at the teachers
conference held at Grand Forks at
the university. While the manual
training problem has been foremost
for the past year the conference de-
c1ded not to push the state high
school board to establish this course,
and it will not be introduced until
1910, when it will be established as
regular course Of study.
The manual training committee
consisting Of Superintendent G. w.
Hanna Of Valley, A. G. Crane of
jamestown and 8. Henry Wolfe Of
Minot, made a report favoring the es.
tablishment Of manual training in the
schools outlining every department of
the work and setting forth the ad-
vantages to be obtained. 1t is the
opinion Of the committee that at least
fifty to eighty minutes per week, in
two periods, should be the required
time devoted to the manual training
work.
Considerable discussion arose over
the present course of the English pre-
scribed for the high schools by the
high school manual. President Mer-
rif1eld was authorized to appoint a
committee to revise the present
course to confer with the high school
superintendent and to file their re-
port with recommendation to the
state high school board.
1t was decided to offer half-yeaf
courses in the high school as we'll as
full-year courses in the subjects of
botany. zoology, economy and English
history. An effort was made to have
Greek eliminated from the list of Of
fered subjects in the high school
course, two years of Greek now be-
ing offered. After a lengthy animated
discussion it was decided to let Greek
remain as an offered subject. Mete-
orology was eliminated from the list
of offered subjects.
At the conclusion of the conference
resolutions Of appreciation were
adopted showing the respect of those
assembled for the services offered by
President Merrifield, who has pre-.
sided at the head of the annual con-
ference and the one which has just
closed is no exception to the rule.

FATAL ACCIDENTS At WlNONA
School Teacher Takes Acid BY Mistake
and Somnambulist Is Killed by
Train.

Winona, MINI, June I. = Two fatal
accidents, with peculiarly distressing
features, ushered grief and sorrow
into two Winona homes yesterday.
Mfstakfng phial containing car.
bolic acid for a castor oil bottle, Miss
Mabel Kirst, aged twenty-five years,
drained the contents while in her
home.
The young woman held her nostrils
to make the medicinal dose less disa-
greeable, and for that reason several
ounces Of the deadly poison had been
taken into her stomach before she
realized her mistake.
Physicians, hastily summoned,
worked over the girl, but she died in
terrible agony several hours later.
Miss Kirst, who was a teacher in
the school at Plainview, had come
home to spend Sunday with her par.
ents.
Fred Sieboldt, aged forty-fve, som.
nambulist, was found at daybreak
lying between the rails in the North
Western yards. His arm had been
cut off and the victim apparently bled
to death
Sieboldt had been known to walk in
his sleep, and the accepted theory is
that he walked from his home to the
railroad yards and there lay down,
with his arm lying across the rail.
The protruding member was cut OF
by an outgoing freight train.

NECK BROKEN BY BLOW.
Fred Eckhart of Medina Meets a
Tragic End.


Tragic End.
Fred Eckhart was brought to the
city hospital at Jamestown suffering
from injuries received by being run
over by drill while engaged in work
in the field near Medina. 1t appears
that he was riding On a drill and by
some means fell forward, the wheels
passing over him. He was also drag
ged and twisted around by the discs
Of the drill in such a manner that he
was fatally injured in the intestines,
one lung was pierced, and his neck
was broken at the base of the brain.
He was taken to the city hospital
but died soon afterward, as no aid
was of any avail. It was found that
one intestine had been ruptured and
that death was certain to have occur
red from that as we'll as fro mthe dis.
location of the vertebrae.
The deceased was twenty-six years
Of age and leaves a wife and two
children. He has resided eight miles
south of Medina for several years
past and owned 240 acres of land.
