THE standing armies of Europe S
six chief nations reach the tremen-
Hous total of 8, 100, 900 men, and it
costs billion dollars year to keep
thetn standing. With this huge
total, there is a small army of Off
GERS, men whose profession is war,
eottipelled to oppose all attempts to
tighten the burden of militarism.
And In every nation there are plans
for bigger armies. France is alarm
ed at het low birth rate, mainly
because it means fewer recruits for
her army. English opinion inclines
to second "Bobs" in his demand
for a large increase of soldiers.
Germany will spend thirteen mill
Ions more on her army this year
than last. And so the mad scram-
bic goes on. Who will dare to put
the match to this colossal powder

Good Life, Long Life.I

He liveth long who liveth well.
All else is but life flung away!
He livetb longest who can tell
OF true things truly done each day.
Then fill each hour with what will last
Buy up the moments as they go.
The life above, when this is past,
Is the ripe fruit of life below.
Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure!
Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright
Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,
And find harvest home of light!

1t has been the policy of the govern
ment from its foundation to acquire
lands not for perpetual ownership, but
for the purpose of extending its politi-
cal Jurisdiction and disposing of the
same to people who would settle upon
and develop such lands. Perpetual
ownership by the national government
of its lands must produce great hard
ship upon the state in which such
lands are situated, because the state
cannot tax them to maintain state and
county government. 1t makes the
burden of maintaining such govern
ment over all these lands rest upon tile
state without any part being born by
the national government. As taxes for
a period of thirty years upon land fully
equals the value thereof, exemption
from taxation of government lands prac-
tically compels the state to pay for the
same every thirty years.-Governor
Shafroth.

The tight-wad is an aboniination in
the path of progress and is found in
every community. The tight-wad is
not an accumulation, although he is the
principal owner of the best stuff there
is in lands, tenement and heredita-
ments. He grabs things dt bargain
counter rates once in a while and puts
them in cold storage to prevent sprout-
ing and growing. Most of his lands,
tenements and increments he has
handed down to him from pioneer
accumulators when whole townships
could be bought for a dollar twenty
five an acre. His one, long nerve-rack
ing nightmare is tax. He is opposed
to progress and development, because
they mean increased valuation Of lands
tenenents and bank rolls and to him
all this means increased taxation. You
could not drive it into him with a hy-
draulic ram that 1t is impossible to
build million dollar industry without
enhancing the value of every foot Of

Rosebery was angered at his own con

dening was seen to have been done,
in the culling out of scrub and para
site growths, the planting of palms
along the avenues and so forth. The
lily ponds and canals are sadly clog
ged with water fungi and the mud in
their bottoms is many feet deep. This
feature of the park mas been handi-
capped by the action of a neighboring
rice planter in closing water courses
that had been common for a hundred
years or so against flowing into the
park channels.
One of the improvements wahteo
by the commissioners is on artesian
well to flush the canals and be used
in artificial cascades, but President
Cleghorn regards the work of reclaim
alton to make a general playground
ol the racetrack area and the lake
before mentioned as more important.
Nothing was granted IN aid of the
park by the Legislature Of 1907, and
the County of Oahu, succeeded by the
Municipality of Honolulu, has contri-
buted its sole public support since.
The donation Is DuU 800 month,
which after bare maintenance OF eX-
listing conditions leaves very little ior
development. 1t is hoped that the
present Legislature will treat Kapio-
lani Park as the Territorial instltu-
tion that ought to be, as the greatest
recreation ground and outdoor show
