FOR ALL NEWSPAPERS

Promptly at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, President Smith called the
members of the Senate to order. for
the second session OF the day. Sem
ator Kalama, Chairman of Commit
tee on Rules, submitted the report
o! that committee. Just then, sar-
geant-at-arms Kahokuolima announce
ed the arrival of the Governors pri-
vate secretary, bearing another mes
sage from the Governor. The mes
sage pertaining to financial condition
of the Territory was read, and on mo-
|tion of Quinn II was referred to Com
mittee of Ways and Means.
The report of the Committee on
Rules was then taken up and several
amendments were offered.
One OF the new rules adopted was
that the Committee on Ways and
Means should consist OF Ave members
Two from the City and County OF
Honolulu, and one each, from the
other islands. Coelho arose and said
that 1t should read "the Committee
on Ways and Means shall consist OF
Ave members, one from each of the
Senatorial districts" This, Coelhc
suggested, was in conformity with
the Organic Act. His suggestion was
adopted.

Percentage That the Experienced
Spectator Hopes to Win.
There Is nothing more sordid In Wall
street than the use that Is made In the
stock market by insiders (directors,
bankers and their like) Of information
accessible only to themselves, says q
writer in Everybody's. They have the
first information Of changes In earn
ings; they are able to anticipate divi-.
dend changes months ahead; they
know what financial transactions are
impending, as, for instance, an In
crease Of stock. II they made use Of
their knowledge In direct way. as by
buying on favorable developments or
selling on those Of an unfavorable ma
ture, that would be bad enough. But
when, being in possession Of favorable
knowledge, they begin by manipulating
the stock down to induce others to sell
that they may buy more easily. or, on
unfavorable knowledge. pursue the OPP
posite tactics, It is indefensible.
This sort Of thing, however, is 80
much taken for granted that profess
sional stock exchange traders habitual-
ly sell a stock on any favorable an
nouncement which the insiders must
have known was coming. Why? Be-
cause the insiders have probab,J load
ed up with stock at lower prices and
will now be willing to sell. Hence
the axiom: Sell on good news; the
insiders have discounted II. Buy on
bad news, and for the sans reason"
To be right the odd time in i've is all
that any experienced speculator hopes
for. The margin between profit and
loss is very slender. No less an au-
thority than James r. Keene has said:
with all the money spend for infor-
nation and with all the experience
have, the best that l can do IL to be
right four times in seven. II could
be right three times in I'VE. ! would
have more money than should know
what to do with" The difference be-
tween four times In seven, his average.
and three times In five. which was
more than he could expect Is once in
thirty-five times.
Ponder this well. We who wonder
why you lose money in Wall street!
What chance have you for the odd time
in five, which satisfies the professional,
against men who command the machin-
cry Of manipulation, have all the in
formation first, and great deal Of the
time control the news that makes prices
go up or down?

inadequacy Of the Japanese police sys-
tenn. In the cities the police do not
patrol the streets, but remain station
ary at certain points. Where night
watchmen do go about the streets they
carry wooden clappers with which they
keep up an incessant racket, which, Of
course, warns evildoers Of their ap-
proach and makes detection Of crime
all but impossible. Whenever mob
gathers the police seem to be afraid Of
It, and try to avoid It, instead Of dis
persing 1t. Nor is this altogether
strange, when 1t Is remembered that
the police receive the wretched pay Of
only IS to So month, and are re-
garded as one Of the lowest classes Of
public servants. The judicial authori-
ties, moreover, pay entirely too little
attention to civil as distinguished from
military offenses, a circumstance which
directly encourages crime and disorder.
"The root Of the trouble IL that Ja-
pan, while she has come to the fore
front of civilization in many respects.
in some respects still clings to medieval
methods. She has q twentieth century
army and navy. but tenth century po-
lice, and system Of civil authority
and Jurisprudence far behind the times.
It seems probable also that she needs
some improved national standard Of
ethics and morals, such as that which
Christianity a. least theoretically pro-
vides for western nations. Her Bush
lido is a superb scheme Of patriotic
honor but It does not appear to meet
the requirements of every lay life In
times Of peace and amid the compile
Gated problems Of modern civiliza-

ORIENTAL SPORTS.
Why the Chinese Are Generally SueF
Successful Gamblers.

Why the Chinese Arc Generally Such
Successful Gamblers.
In the American Magazine, Lincoln
Colcord tells a story Of game Of
chance in which several Cinnamon
had part. The stakes were as large
as any that man can play for. With
/ out spelling the story for those who
have not read 1t it is possible to make
brief extract which presents an in
teresting view of the Chinese charac-
ter.
"They have latent power -"
that Is why I believe in them. They
play poker we'll, for instance-play 1t
like fiends That's because it fits
them. Strange to say, of all the trash
we've put up to them, the game Of
draw poker Is the only thing that fits
the Chinese character at every turn.
just to perfect themselves for that
game. 1t appeals to them it's
philosophical, it's got sense. And so
they play it, inscrutable, smiling with
pleasure in their hearts.
I've spoken this way because I feel
that even with you there remains an
Unborn prejudice against this race.
He's yellow, his skin is yellow. Well,
I admit 1t. But living as have along
the coast I've grown into boundless
respect for these yellow people that
you talk about. They have the strong
est racial tendencies in the world;
they are the most absolutely well-knit
nation that I know. Say what you
will, their individual characteristics
are tremendous. 1 mean along the
line Of racial power. Nothing can
touch them. They throw off the weak
ness of our religion and civilization as
instinctively as you'd throw off man
that was trying to suffocate you. They
don't want 'em! They have a code
Of their own. By heavens! I give
them credit for seeing the grave faults
in our civilization and, any way,
it's utterly untitled for their needs.
The results are too plainly written,
and they must know beyond a ques-
ton that we white men haven't got
anything that will last very long.
Progress, progress where has 1t
ever led to but the grave? We teach
our children how deplorable 1t Is that
China has lain dormant for thousands
of years; to me it's one Of the wonders
of the world that she's been able to,
with every little religion and philos-
ophy and vice in our category knock
ing at her doors.
Isn't that the Caucasian all over,
though think of the insuffera-
BILE conceit of 1t! The minute he
thinks anything, or learns anything,
or even dreams anything. hurry up
and tell it to the next man-babble
about it, disseminate it, spoil 1t, run
it into the ground, cram 1t down
somebody's throat who doesn't want
it, but for goodness sake never keep
1t to himself to live and thrive by! NO
wonder the Chinese laugh to see us
running about on such wild missions
They know so we'll that even In our
country the charm doesn't always
work. They've seen how inconsistent
and irresponsible our own govern
ment and religion and ethics are. And
they laugh = as an old man laughs
! at boy!"

expense somewhat, but also add much
to the comfort and appearance Of the
house. Vines trained up over them to
keep out the sun and screens to keep
out the flies make them still more COM
Portable.
Nothing adds more to the external
appearance Of the house than neal
lawn Of ample size. Do not make II
too large, however, or the work OF
moving will be likely to be neglected
A lawn is not hard to make. A little
work leveling and preparing hne
seed bed and liberal application OF
blue grass seed that will grow will
almost certainly result in a good lawn
Do not make the common mistake OF
planting trees too close to the house
They detract from the appearance and
make the house close and stuffy. The
opposite extreme should be avoided
also. A few trees about the edges OF
the lawn furnish grateful shade and
provide fanking for the picture OF
which the house Is the central ngure.
The decorative value Of shrubs Is Of
ten not appreciated as much as 1t
should be. A climbing rosebush over
the porch or a few dwarf varieties In
out Of the way corners will add to the
color and beauty of the yard. There
are many other shrubs, such as snow
balls, syringias and lilacs, that can be
be used to fill in empty spaces and
corners.
A row or two Of hard naples or elms
along the driveway, with thick ever
green windbreak to the north, will fn-
ish the supply Of necessary trees un-
less there are corners or bare spaces
about the yards that will be better for
a tree or two.

Nothing moved in the field till all was

up to Graham Vivian to speak with him

was Jael. She had broken free from

from the stone wall. Joe Bagly leap

smile, "the Black River hen-ro,st
ought to remain undisturbed, and my
guardians fruit come in peace to his
table. What is the matter with Fran
els Heron? There he goes, skulking
across the field like a whipped school
boy. He actually does not mean to
speak to us!"
He Is taking a short cut through
the woods" answered Vivian, with
some embarrassment. Possibly he
failed to see you"
"Oh, Francis is not blind!" laughed
Sergia: then, with her big eyes shining
full in his, she added, in changed
voice, Il want to ask you about the
little child that you saved from the
river yesterday saw the rescue, you
know, and it quite took my breath"
The spell Of her gracious beauty was
upon him-he colored like a boy.
ANY man with strength enough could
and would have done the same, Miss
Pole. The child was not harmed in
the least. You are very good to feel so
much interest in him."
1.-The rescue interested me, rather
than the rescued" murmured Sergia.
Sir Griffin had reluctantly returned
to his own vehicle. which was already
moving away from the preaching
ground. Seigia gathered UP her reins
and we followed after.
For a few moments the cheerful
click clack Of the ponies feet on the
river road was the only sound that
broke the silence. Finally my COM
panion drew a deep breath.
"And he is going to Africa!" she said,
as though speaking aloud the thought
that absorbed her. do you remember
anything abolt Africa, Hazel? was
never good at geography. He is going
to preach to the Caffres, or Zulus, or
Cameroons, or something equally dread
full. He sails in the autumn for Cape
Town."
II am little hazy myself upon At

Continent, Sergia? From what we
have seen today, one might think that
profitable field was open to him here
at Black River"

i We went on again in renewed silence.
Presently the ponies, without any ap-
parent reason, began to manifest de-
sire to lie down in the harness. Sergia
brought them up with a blow Of the
whip. They kicked and plunged for a
moment, and then bolted off up the hill
like mad things.

Philip ]. Harlow Of Philadelphia
who spends much Of his time in Tokyo
on business, said to Washington Her
aid reporter that Japan, since her war
with Russia, had followed by no means
unprecedented or unexceptional course
in suffering from a marked accession
Of domestic lawlessness.
"Disbanded troops" continued Mr.
! Harlow, particularly those which
were recruited from the coolie class
returned camp followers and many 9TH
ers, have developed much real trouble
and widespread concern. Cases OF as
sault and battery are becoming alarm
ingly common. Crimes resulting from
indulgence in debauchery, formerly
almost unknown, are now numerous
Highway robberies, even in the out
skirts of large cities, are Of not in
frequent occurrence. Blackmatl Is
practiced. There are reports CT open
attacks upon dwelling houses by mobs
while strikes and labor riots attain
menacing proportions and are marked
with criminal, and sometimes deadly
violence. Along the coast and on the
inland sea piracy is practiced, cargo
vessels have been looted, and women
have been abducted from passenger
ships.
This state of affairs is not an un-
natural sequence Of the war. It's de-
velopment Is greatly favored by the

The farmer Is more important than
his farm, and the most important crop
ne raises is not corn nor hogs, but boys
and girls. The success Of farmer Ia
not measured so much by the money he
makes as it is by the happiness he
brings to himself and to his family.
One Of the surest ways Of accomplish
ing this end is by making the home
surroundings attractive.
There Is no place on earth where 1t
Is easier to have an attractive home
than on the farm. Yet In spite Of this
too many farm homes are located In
the middle Of weed patch that goes
by the name Of garden or are hidden
behind such thick jungle Of trees that
1t Is impossible to see in or out.
The first thing to consider is the
house itself. 1t should be situated on
the highest part Of the hill on which
the farm buildings stand. A house
need not be expensive to be homelike
and convenient. Indeed, the most ex-
pensive houses are often the least
homelike
The starting point Is the cellar.
With but little additional expense this
can be made the full size Of the house.

through the shadows Of the dew

tern water cannot be used. On the
whole, the most satisfactory plan is to
have small galvanized tank in the
attic. A. little covering in the coldest
weather will keep 1t from freezing, and
q few minutes work with the cistern
pump each day will keep 1t filled.
BY having a heater attached to the
furnace or to the kitchen stove and
making the proper connections hot and
cold water can be supplied to the bath
room, the wash room and anywhere
else that it is wanted.
The laundry room downstairs Is the
place where the convenience Of such
a system will be appreciated most. In
this room the washing machine, tubs
wringer and other utensils can be kept
An opening in the, floor connected with
the tile drain will carry of the waste
water, and hot and cold water from
upstairs will be always on tap. Such
a room, together with the entire water
system, can be fitted up for less than
800.
Another convenience that can be in
stalled at small cost is a sewerage sys-
tenn. This can be connected with the
bathtub and sink, and with q small
additional expense another luxury that
Is seldom found on the farm, an In
door closet, can be added. Drainpipt
well cemented at the joints should be
used In constructing the sewer. The
cheapest form of outlet Is the septic
tank" This is small, underground
tank divided into four compartments
so arranged that when the first Of
these becomes full 1t will overflow into
the second, and so on. The tank should
be covered and provided with a ven-
tilator. The action of bacteria in the
septic tank will destroy all the solid
matter, so that the water which flows
out the lower end will be clear and have
no Objectionable odor. With an occa-
sional cleaning out such a tank will
last forever
The house should be provided with
plenty Of porches. These increase the
