The FEDERAL JUDGESRIP.

Honolulu has got itself into II
beautiful miX-up ON the Federal
iudgcship. TO say that n mlX-up Is
anything new would be to forget
notable events in the history of this
Territory.

information from Washington that

lacy the one man of the city who

sition and refused to consider Il I'M
less the local situation was clear of
candidates and the support given
him was general.
Now, after the endorsements are
in, at appears that Mr. Woodruff
Las either not withdrawn or he has
cen urged back into the fight by
some spite worker in Honolulu.
Thus are the people and the Bar
Associations candidate put in the
position of opposing the Presidents
nominee, when no such program was
expected or intended.
President Taft has a record of
having made It warm for n number
OF Kansas men who brought him
into fractional fight.
II will be worth while FOR the
President TO secure Il full statement
of facts in this Federal Judgcahlp
candidacy. If 1t be true that Mr..
Woodruff had withdrawn and was
brought back into the fight at the
suggestion OF Honolulu factionalists
and their agents, the whole scheme
as 1t has finally developed is very
clear example of an effort to use
the President to further local fac
tional games.
The Bar Association unquestion-
ably acted in good faith, as did the
Delegate and Mr. Robertson.
The ones TO he ferreted out are
the man and men behind Rath, who

Now the question, as one man put

RIGH.HEELED SHOES and The
LAW.

The high heels that fashionable
women love have come into the
courts of California under the head
of contributory negligence.
A woman fell from Il street car
and received such injuries that she
sought damages from the company.
It was brought out in the testimony
that the woman was wearing the
Eigh-heeled shoes demanded by the
height of fashion. The Judge de-
clared that wearing shoes with such
heels constituted contributory neg
ligence.
Courts and lawmakers have been
moving rather rapidly against some
of the oddities of feminine fashion
in recent years. But they have not
been able to travel very for. in any
given direction.
or course there is Il possible de-
Tense TO be made of high heels on
wOmen's shoes; high heels will
make the short woman seem to be
taller than she is; they will make
the fat woman lean, and the big foot
small, and these little nothings
mean much to some women.
But the California Judge laid bare
one fatal foult In the case Of high
heels; they make women unsteady

The real reason why Rath's protest
against \. G. NJ. Robertson finds no
sympathy in Honolulu is that the men

as these there is surprise that more peo-
PIE are not rendered sick from exposure
to dust than there are.
1T is quite evident from the experiments
made i'm New York and other cities that
the dust nuisance IS nE only very annoy
ing. but real menace to the public health,
and whatever tends to decrease it ought
to be heartily welcomed Most cities
undertake to keep down the dust by
means of sprinkling wagons the only
trouble being that the expense of MAIN
tanning these is SO great that they cam
not be employed in the residence dis
trfcts. There frequent cleanup days
help to remove all surface and refuse
matter so that the danger Is somewhat
allayed In number of our American
cities the driveways and boulevards are
oiled at frequent intervals, and this plan
is found very practical. indeed as a
method of getting rid Of dust. In this
community. however, but little has been
done, except to sprinkle and flush the
business streets where the dust affects
the largest number of people. During
the coming summer it is hoped the city
will be able to take some steps toward
making life more comfortable in the resi-
dcnce districts. Such Il step would be
in the right direction considered from
the standpoint of public health as we'll
as public comfort. A twentieth century
people ought to be able to get rid of so
ordinary a thing as dust.

After the street had been cleaned an

that many of these colonies of bacteria

Modern Physics of Epicurus.
From the Atlantic.

Inc AtTantlc.
Let us ask ourselves If. in our theories
of atoms and electrons, We have really ad-
Vanced beyond the ideas of the ancients.
Democritus certainly advanced a theory
of atoms. and ESpicurus taught that an i'm
finite number of atoms existing from a Il
eternity in infinite space. continually In
motion. We're the elements of that ma tier
of which the universe is composed. Ii is
true that our modern theory OF atoms "a
first sight seems TO resemble closely that
of these Two philosophers: for in the Air
of room we suppose billions of atoms:
We believe in the continuity of matter. and
therefore that all matter is ultimately
made up of atoms. The ancients' concep-
ton of atoms was flight of the lima ina
ton, but the modern theory is supported
by measurements OF weight. magnitude
and Spead
