AIDING THE POLICE.

The mayor of Ansonia has taken it upon himself to point out how the people of the city in these days of telephonic communication may help the police to eliminate lawlessness. The Sentinel of that place. seconding the suggestion, says:
 Tt is too much to expect that a mere handful of men can oversee the whole city at once. But in these days of teiephones, trolleys and other means of rapid communication, there is little excuse for the individual who fails to promptly report to the police, either in person or by means of the phone, whatever crime or lawlessness may come under his notice and which, in his opinion. requires reproof or cor rection. Action of this kind he owes to himself. his family and his city, and the fear or dread of being called as a witness should not deter him"
 There is no doubt such a co-opera- tive spirit would be appreciated by the police in every city; and it cer- tainly would result in the diminish ment of crime and in raising the eff- ciency of the local police force every where

MASSACHUSETTS WON'T JOIN.

The Massachusetts legislature has voted to make no appropriation for the Seattle exposition. and the action of the legislature is very generally ap- proved by the press, because the local exposition is becoming a popular means of bleeding the government" The Boston Transcript. while on this subject, declares that the relations of these enterprises to the government forms an exceedingly disgraceful chap ter of our recent history. The usual plan Is to get the government to run, at it's own expense, the best single exhibit; then 1t makes a large direct appropriation. besides inviting foreign countries to come in, thereby obligat- ing itself to return the favor It is then asked to lend the enterprise mon ey on indifferent security. The Buffalo people went further and charged the government a penalty for the injury done to their business by President McKinley's assassination, and they collected the claim--one of the most impudent ever presented to congress. If the cities and sections which want fairs would only pay for them. nothing but praise could be said of them. but as a form of working the government they have had no equal in modern times"
 This is taking square stand against the entire business. Other states have become weary of this sort of thing and are likely to follow suit.

A Mnrd fnr th. snnth.

This is what Editor Platt of the Plant City (Fla.) Advance says about it: we don't expect to see President Taft appoint democrats to office in the south. We don't deserve it, as we did everything to defeat him. But we have lots of our best citizens who are republicans, and fully identified with the south, anI we would like to see them hold the offices. There Is more pure. genuine American blood in the south today than In any other section of the country and this same kind of stock. from the north, is set tling among us. It is the case of birds of a feather flocking together This Is why the south Is developing so rapidly and becoming so wealthy"

COUNTY MISSIONARIES
Paper No. V.

Concerning her position there, Mrs. Charles N. Judson. president or the association, writes thus: Miss Lester was a very unusual woman and one or a great deal of Christian character. She had been with us for two years and had become invaluable to us in our work. We shall miss her very much She came to us from her home In Woodstock. in every way fitted for the position which we offered her. Sne was a remarkably versatile woman ana while her duties here were originally as an assistant secretary, she lnaoe her influence felt in every department. She took charge of the gymnasium. as sisted in the library and was bright mind in the Bible class. She was able to do anything and had one of the most remarkably developed characters on every side that I have ever met. She was of a very bright and sunny disposition and expressed herself fre- quently as being glad she had come wi.h us. She was very much interest ed in the elevation and the higher ed- ucation of women and was beloved by all the girls who were thrown into contact with her. She was an earnest Christian and while she did not con- meet herself with any church in Brook- lyn was Q regular attendant at Ply mouth. She had become a German scholar and had intended going to Ger many for a course of study there.
 We close with a tribute paid Miss Lester by a classmate In Mount Hol- yoke seminary:
 Tn this sudden close to a noble life it Is hard to understand the ''froWnlng ing Providence" but we know
 He liveti1 longest who can tell
 Of true things truly done each day.
 @Tn that sense her life was indeed long. She has lived long enough to give a better impetus to many others, and we know that her cruel death was but the gateway to 8 freer, fuller and happier existence

A Safeguard.

The Federal Street Methodist church of New London is the latest In the state to vote in favor of adoption of the individual cup system. few years ago the church which adopted this plan was tae exception rather than the rule but today churches are readily accepting the plan as neces- sary to cleanliness and as a safeguard against the possible spread of con- tagion.. Eligible communicants have refrained from partaking of the sacra- ment, in time past, because of the old custom of passing one or two cups through an entire regation.-An- sonia Sentinel

fhs chandlers of Woodstock and Indis
 A few years later than the Ashford Vintons, and even suIpassing them in varied hereditary service. the Wood stock Chandlers appear upon our mis- sionary record. John E. Chandler, widely known in later years as the venerable Father Chandler, was born in North Woodstock, Conn, June 12. ls17. The descendant of one of Wood- stocks first settlers in 16Ss, a member of the Woodstock church, the brother of our old friend, Deacon Amasa Chandler, a student Of Yale college. a not infrequent visitor in our homes and churches, he seems in a peculiar sense to belong to this section.

state itself. This Is turning a very short corner and 1t will be assumed by the ordinary observer that before long the corner will be turned back again and the tolls will be removed and another be added to our free bridges But on the other hand 1t is evident that a bridge Is needed there. That being granted, the question whether 1t shall be free Is incidental We can see no reason why the state should pay for and free three other bridges across the Connecticut and not pay for this one, if its need is recog- nized; and everybody who has been over that road must see the necessity. -.Hartford Courant

How We Look.

Th3 fear that exists in New Haven at the present time over the possible doings of the state police no doubt in a large measure explains the opposi- ton to that organization of preservers of the peace that Is so often In evil dence in the City of Films. What Is troubling the average New Havener Is, How much do the state police l1now? This is rather an indication of a guilty coRecience, and when one reads of the various doings in that city there will be no surprise.-Bridgep Post

SUEEN'S HOSPITAL and The
CITY.

The City and County of Honolulu
should provide for its INDECENT sick at
the Queens hospital. The matter All.
mits OF no more argument than the
duty Of a man to care for sick men,
bers Ct his family.
But the management of the hospital
SHOULD be such as will reduce to n
minimum the possibility Of repeating
the incident reported in this paper ct
man taken to the hospital, there de.
clared drunk and returned to the pO-
lice station, to die.
Mr.. Carter In his talk before the
Supervisors last evening apparently
aimed to discrCdit the facts published
in this paper. The upshot of his re.
marks was to state the same thing la
other words. OF course hospital sur
geOns may be deceived, but when q
life may be at stake they can well af
ford to err on the side of extreme care.
Honolulu must now view the Queen ;
Hospital only in its relation to the
people Of this City and County. So
far as our local appropriations are con.
Corned they are to provide for resi-
dents of this island. Consequently the
most reasonable method of handling
the question seems to be the establish.
mont by the Hospital OF per diem
t.n for city patients. The city author.
I lies could then make such rules for
g omission of patients as will make the
/ Institution free to the INDECENT sick
properly vouched for. And under this
plan OF operation all other Counties
would be free to use the hospital under
I the same terms.
Honolulu might be called selfish, but
there is no reason why this city should
spend a lump sum for the treatment
of the poor from all islands when the
other Counties are amply able to care
I for their own.

The TARIFF BILL and COAST.
WISE LAWS.

The marked confidence of the people
of Hawaii IN the outcome Of tariff log
islation in Congress is a beautiful thing
to contemplate when II does not lead
them to commit acts Of folly resulting
from overcOnfdcnce or poor judgment
In all human probability the sugar
schedule will not be tamEered with
But that is not the only schedule this
Territory Is interested in, II the pro
gram for diyersifcatiOn Is to amount
to anything more than a medium for
| picturesque predictions and abuse.

ance that ample protection should be
given the pineapple industry. To Sc.
cure this Hawaii must bring TO its sup

from among the protection forces of
Congress and particularly the Senate.
! It must gain the active support, for in
! stance, of the men who consider the
coastwise shipping laws part ana
I lhlNNl VI INC plON'NllNt pblNN.
How foolish is II therefore to pur.
sue campaign locally that cannot fail
to antagonize the very people on whom
the successful continuance of a sec.
ondary industry depends. What folly
to ask the Pacific Coast delegation to
work early and late for proper tariff
on pineapples, and at the same time
carry ON an antagonistic campaign loo,
ally through an agitation for the sus.
pension OF the coastwise shipping law.
The response may be the coastwisa
shipping law and the pineapple tariIi
are two different propositions.
Has Senator Perkins said that? And
Is Senator Perkins not expected Ia
! help out the pineapple men?
Our people will do well to give the
I tariff situation and all that bears on II
more serious thought. Not a few are
conducting themselves as II the tarif
discussion would soon be at an end and
the bill passed as suits Hawalis de
sides. We hope this view of il Is cor

In my judgment the consideration
Of the tariff bill in the Senate is like
