On Schools
and School Age.

The proposition made by Senator
w. O. Smith to set the age for be-
ginning school attendance at eight
years instead of six as at present
sounds like a bid for more Jail room
and reformatory schools.
In this progressive age when the
desirability of having kindergarten
schools made part of the public
school system has been and is being
discussed by world leaders in educa-
tional work, the proposition of SEN
ator Smith sounds more like a sug-
gestion to snuff the light in order to
save the candle, and to try to read
by freight which is hard on the
eyes, and is "a losing and wearing
proposition all around.
If the drain for school work is
straining our slender financial re-
sources near to the breaking point,
why not relax the strict educational
laws little and permit japanese
and Chinese to send their children
to private schools where japanese
and Chinese are fought, thereby re-
live the public schools ofsome of its
work? Why compel these aliens
who prefer their own schools to send
their children TO the public schools?
If they want to let them stay by
their own language and customs,
and why bar our children from
public schools until eight years of
age to make room for aliens who
don't want to?

Celebration
At MaunaOlu
Fitting Exercises In Memory
OF Washington.

On the afternoon of February
22nd, the faculty and pupils of
Maunaolu Seminary held appro-
pirate exercises in honor of
Washington's birthday. All pre-
sent wore badges of red, white and
blue, and small paper natchets, on
which a bunch of cherries was
tastefully painted.
On the wall hung the pictures of
Washington and Lincoln draped
with the Stars and Stripes, while
on the blackboards could be seen
lines which portrayed the noble
traits of character in each.
1t was evident from the enthu-
siasm which was manifested
through the exercises that Mauna-
olu Seminary was not lacking in
the true spirit of patriotism.
Soon after the conclusion of the
program a Tennis Tournament was
in order. It,was a contest between
classes. The first set was between
the fourth and sixth grades, the
players being Charlotte Gibson
and Young Kin Lam Ho against
Sarah Kalawaia and Elaie Crowell,
then played Mabel Naone and Rose
Noah of the seventh grade, and
were again the victorious ones.
The victors then played set of
singles, and after a hard fought
battle the prize was awarded to
Elsie Crowell, as the Champion of
the school.

THE GEM THEATRE.

The program presented by this theatre
during the past performances has been
up to the high standard of excellence.
Nothing out of the way is ever shown at

see. There is always fun galore at the
Gem and just enough of the sorrowful
kind of pictures to act as a foil to the
more hilarious subjects which are shown
on the sheet.

crowds, the cavalry forming behind
the waiting vehicles and the decorat-
ed automobiles and carriages mass
ing along the makai side, on each
side of the stand.
There was much applause and
cheers when the names of the various
successful competitors for the trophy
banners and prizes were announced.
Maui, represented by Miss Han
nah Cummings, who wore IA hand
some red pau skirt with black cape
and displayed bridal trimmings of
red, was much in evidence. When
the Maui Princess rode to her ap-
pointed place, she was greeted with
three hearty cheers and a tiger from
the Wailuku and Lahaina military
companies. When the boys saw
their Princess trotting up the walk,
the first sergeant shouted to them to
fall in. Miss Cummings was greatly
pleased with this compliment. She
rode "Kalakaua," Miss Madge Nc
Candless fine black.
Mrs. Blackwell, who represented
Molokai, riding Major Dunning's s
fine dapple gray, was the eynosnre
of all eyes. She wore a yellow skirt,
and the Maui boys also saluted her,
as Molokai ia part of Maui County.
The tiny islets of Kahoolawe and
Niihau were represented by very
youthful Princessess. Little Sister
Holt upheld the reputation of Ka-
hoolawe, wearing a pretty purple
costume, and Niihau was gracefully
represented by little Tram Wode-
house. She wore a green pau, and
about her head and neck were leis
of the famous and delcately-tinted
Niihau shells,
When in line with their outriders,
young boys and girls riding ponies
and all dressed in white, the Island
Princesses were at once picturesque
and beautiful. Applause reached
them from the balcony of the Capt.
tol, on which were gathered a num-
Der Of guests of the Governor, in

tha Navy Major and Mrs. Dunning

From the reports of those who

In all of their work the boys from
Maui ranked well, even to showing
a bit of good sound sense and

Matters Of Interest Before
the District Magistrate.

i ne ClarBc OF aSSult lnaue by a.
Japanese woman against officer Ka-
ilianu of Waikapu was dismissed 10y
Judge Mckay Wednesday morning.
County Attorney Coke objected
vigorously at the way the matter
was being carried forward over his
head through the employment of
private counsel by complaining wit
ness to prosecute defendant. Judge
Mckay stated he wanted to examine
the evidence before granting the
nolle pross asked by the County
prosecutor and cut off further dis
cussion by dismissing the charge. 1t
is said the complaining witness in
tends to bring the matter before the
grand jury next month.
Alfred Rodriques of Waiehu is
charged with larceny in the second
degree. The complaint was made
by the Wailuku Sugar Company. 1t
is alleged the defendant had stolen
various pieces of lumber belonging
to the company, and the principal
witness for the prosecution was the
defendants step-son, a boy about
ten or more years of age. The de-
fendant, Rodriques, runs a small
milk dairy business with his wife,
formerly Mrs. Correa, and the stol-
en- lumber formed part of COW
shed recently built by defendant
near the beach at Waiehu. When
brought before Judge Mckay the
defendant, represented by Correa
and Nivas, Attorneys, asked for a
trial by jury and was duly COM
mitted to. the next grand jury term.
A hold up man, a Porto Rican
named Salvador Lopez, was arrested
on complaint of Owe, who accuses
defendant of robbing him of $31 80,
at a place this side of Waihee where
the cane humc crosses the public
road. Lopez vas accompanied by
another Porto Rican who is willing
to testify for the prosecution. The
defendant Indignantly declares he is
no robher, and that he had merely
touched the Japanese carpenter Owe
for loan as friend. The case will
be heard today.

HOnOlulu'S
Floral Parade
Programme was a Most Sue
ceSSful One.

The fourth annual floral parade
in Honolulu was held on the ami
versary of Washingtons birthday.
Each parade in the past has
eclipsed its predecessor and this
one was not an exception but was
by far the most beautiful parade
that has ever been held in the Terri
tory.
The Judges who ofliciated were
all strangers in the city except the
Judges of the Pau riders and were
not swayed by prejudice or bias.
The prize winners were:
Automobiles: Best Auto Float
Mrs. Robert Levers. Most Original
and Beautiful Decorations - Miss
Wilhelmina Tenney. Best Tour
ing Car Consul-General Uyeno.
Best Runabout-Archie Young
Carriages: First-Gus Schuman.
Second-Misses Low and Magoon.
Wagon Float: First-Kaai' Or
chestra.
Pau Riders: Best Costume
Mrs. John Apio. Best Rider Mrs.
Herman Horn.
Bicycles: First-E. L. Hutchin-
son. Second-Ogata. Third Yoshi-
kawa.
The weather was perfect but for
the momentary showers that drove
across the reviewing grounds at Ka-
piolani park, and the discontinue
from the few drops that fell was not
at the actual rain but at the pros
pect that it might last. The arrange
ments at the Capitol were splendid,
the parade being started without
the slightest delay, but there was a
wait at the reviewing end, con-
sequent on the distance of this park
from the center of the town. This
delay was not sufficient to dampen
the ardor of the immense crowd
congregated at the park, however,
and the slight patience necessary
was fully paid for when the parade
reunited at the park entrance and
swept down the track to where the
judges were waiting to award the
well-earned prizes.
Last night the hard worked mem
bers of the 1909 Floral Parade COM
mittee slept peacefully, satisfied
that their efforts had succeeded in
upholding the reputation of the
community.
The parade started on the minute
and moved without a hitch along
the appointed route, the presence of
the boys of the Fifth Cavalry at the
heard of the parade adding greatly
to the effect. Following them came
the automobiles, not so many as
had been hoped for but each one
beautiful and the whole forming
amagnificent showing. The carriages
were splendid, the few there were
of them, and the pau section of
the parade was grand, this section
of the parade was grand, this Sec
ton impressing the hundreds OF
strangers who watched. The Is
land Princesses and their escorts
brought forth round after round of
applause as they rode through the
streets, splendid riders all and
mounted magnificently. The bicy-
cles and other features of the parade
were good,
The scene at Kapiolani was an
inspiring one as automobiles to the

Died a Ravinn Maniac.

Continually calling in the delirium
OF his last four days for his daughter,
Mrs. Mary Jane Cleminson, whose
mysterious death in Chicago several
weeks ago resulted in the Indictment
Of her husband, DR.. Haldane Clemin-
son, on charge of murder, John
Morgan died in South Haven of men,
ingitis, as the record reads. After the
tragedy Morgan aged rapidly. His re-
naming children tried TO divert his
mind from the tragedy, but to no pur-
pose. For week he had recognized
no one. In fancy his thoughts re-
vorted to the time when his lost
daughter was aSlittle girl playing at
his knee, and he called to her with
the pet names she had borne in child
hood. Pointing an accusing finger
ut an imaginary figure he would
shrek forth imprecations and curses
against his daughters slayer, until the
weeping children around him shudder-

The Soldiers Return.

Fatigued by 10 hard days OF mil
itary maneuvers at Camp Harrah and
grimy and travel-stained by their
journey over the dusty railroad from
Ludington, the state troops have re-
turned to their homes.
1T was the hardest camp so far as
actual work was concerned, that the
boys have ever put in" said one of
the officers. There were not many
dress parades, such as we can have
every night in our armory, but it was
all scouting and military tactics,
where every private had to think
for himself. The companies have
improved 80 per cent in efficiency in
consequence. In spite of the hard
work the boys all enjoyed it and
think that the majority OF them
would gladly put in 10 days more"
Reveille at Camp Harrah sounded
at a. M, and after hurried break
fast the troops set at the hard task
OF cleaning up camp and striking
tents. Owing to the heavy dew
which had soaked the canvas it was
necessary to leave the tents TO dry
in the sun before packing. A detail
Of men was left behind TO superin-
tend the loading.
