ADJUSTMENTS

The kiddies were there in all their
glory last night, for they were playing
one of the most popular operas ever
written. And didn t they have fun.
Those little chaps made more Of a hit
in Florodora = than in anything thew
have shown in Honolulu. not because
of the play alone, but because of the
players. Some foozler once passed ont
the remark that "The plays the
thing, but, sad TO relate, he hadn 4
seen the little fellows He would have
changed his song and dance. and
changed it quickly, had he but seen
the Australian midgets get in their
good heks IN g Florodora' And those
fun-makers. There is only one way to
describe them, and that is TO heaye
a great sigh, at the same time saving.
"They are CREATE Everyone knows
what !" Florodora is; the same old
plot. and the same old characters that
were familiar to the theater going pub
lie many years ago. And they are few
in Honolulu who do not know the
clever way in which the theme of the
song story is carried out by those Lii
liputs. If there be any who have not
laughed, if there be any who have not
enjoyed themselves for some time past,
it behooves them to connect with the
show which is going on at the Opera
House. The kid fun-makers dole out
more of those real laughs during an
evening than they can really afford.
But they aren't kicking, for that IS
heir business, and they get Just as
much, if not more, genuine fun out of
making fun than the people who
listen and ha! ha! in the audience.

Dewey was sailor and no politician.

IF DEWEY HAD SAILED AWAY

In itself an engagement where the
risk was so slight and the loss of life
small the battle of Manila is hardly
worthy to be dignified with the name
of battle; in its consequences so great,
the sea fight in the harbor of Manila
on May l, 1908, may rank among
the decisive battles of the world.
Unlike the battles that have turned the
current of the world s history, it de-
stroyed no empires, it wrecked no DIV
nasties, it stayed the march of no
worldwide conquerer There was no
Darius or Hannibal or Alexander to be
overthrown. But it brought a great
people out of their political isolation

ANOTHER HOLIDAY
PROPOSED FOR JULY a

Editor Advertiser: I am thorough
~ IN accord with the idea of having
more holidays. We do not have enough
IN Hawaii. Take, for instance, Ma
Mia, or any Latin city of South Amer
lea. They have holidays almost every
week. It's the people we have to con
slider; not the business interests. It
doesn t hurt business to close up extra
days, besides Sundays, during month.
That is, from my viewpoint as a pos
sible legislator two years hence. I
don't think it is good for man to
work too hard down here. Of course
some people may say that the business
houses here pay large taxes and the
Legislature expects them to pay more.
just to keep the Territorial treasury
full, but that hasn't anything to do
with holidays. We ought to be able
down here in Hawaii to show the peo-
pie on the mainland that we can keep
pace with them and go them one or
two better. You see, over on the
mainland they did not have so manv
men to create holidays foras we have
down here. Over there they didn It
have any Kamehamehas or Kauikeaou-
lis or Kalakauas, and they don t have
regatta days, etc, The mainland is un-
fortunate, but we are better off by
having these great names and days to
honor, and therefore our people have
more holidays as a result.
This thing of having one more holi-
day during February is a good one. 1t
makes February unique. It is the
shortest month in the year and, with
four Sundays out, leaves about twenty
four business days. Now take out
Is Birthday and the pro-
posed Lincoln Day, that brings the
days down to twenty-five.
That s where the proposed bill makes
February unique.
But think the Legislature has over
looked one or two important days. July
"a should also be made holiday. That
is the great Pioneer Day of the Nor
mons. That is the day when Brigham
Young and his following first entered
Salt Lake Valley after having cross
ed the Plains by wagon. There are
lots of Mormons down here, so we
should have July "a. Then there is
The Hebrew Passover, but that comes
according to the moon, and there is no
special day, but let the Legislature
pass measure to make the Passover
a holiday, whatever day of the month
It comes on. Finally, would suggest
that among the great names of Ha-
waii that should be honored by holt
day, although the man is not yet pass
ed away, is that of the statesman
Coelho. don't know just when his
birthday is, but that gentleman would
be glad to supply the date
If the matter was put to him. There |
fore we should have a holiday on Co
elhe's birthday.
There is another thing which I would |
ike to suggest. Couldn't the Fourth |
If July be celebrated on some other |
lay than the 4ths The legislative |
asking for the Lincoln Day
holiday might be able to make sug-
sestion about this.

We concede the propriety of Mr. Roosevelt's action m this case. n the next place. the separation of in- harmonious races resident in the same country is imperative. It is the only way out of irreeonellable aniagon- isms: il Is the only measure of local peace and the only safe insurance against the decadence of amalgama- tion. That Is not only sound philoso- phy. but it is the very instiet of hu- man nature, and whatever treaty-mak- CTS. presidents and legislators may do. the people themselves may be depend cd upon to have their way. to follow their bent. to maintain their ideals and to hold themselves aloof from any and all who arc unwelcome.

Rrincinle Of Edunatinn-


 At the foundation of the art of edu- cation must be the following principle. which those who make in adtance the plans for such education must under stand: It is necessary to bring up children so that their education shall be adap-ab,e not to the present, but to Inc futute, perhaps better, condition of the human race-that is, it should be adapted to the iCsa of mankind and 10 Its entire designation. This princi- pie is important in the highest de- gree. Usually parents bring up their children so that they shall be fit only for the present world, even though it Is depraved. But they should educate their children better in order to ere ate thus a future better state of man kiEd.-Ksnt

The robreakfas. habit is harmless enough, provided a hearty meal is taken, not before going to bed. but carly in the evening. Late diners have no need Of breakfast until HooDlime.

HONEST TEiDERs SHOULD HURRY.

Whoever is contemplating taking a homestead on government land in Arizona had better make filings on the land desired before the passage of the statehood bill
 By the terms Of the statehood bill several million acics of the public do- main are given to the new state to pay the territorial and county debts and for other purposes. The state hood bin also provides that the land so given to the new state shall not be sold for less than S3 per acre.
 Naturally the lana selected by the new state will be the lands which are more likely to be attractive to home seekers. The most valuable lands in Arizona today are the lands which a homesteader would desire. except per haps a few small tracts of timber land in the mountains.
 So. We advise all who are expect ing to take a homestead in Arizona to do it now while the government land is available.

Small Boy Then and Nou,-

This Is the way the editor of the St Jcsarh, Ca, Eye writes it:
 David was considered a noble little fellow because he went forth and slew the giant, Goliath, with his sling. It pleased King Saul and all the children of Israel to such an extent that bo was at once crowned as a hero and made a ruler. Very little heroism would be credited to an act of that kind in our day of the world

THE PROPOSED KEW RANGER SERVICE.

KEW RANGER SERVICE.
 The proposition to mend the harm done by passing the bill abolishing the ranger service in this territory by providing that rangers may be ap pointed by boards of supervisors oi the several counties whenever they see fit to do so or think rangers are necessary for the preservation of good order and compelling an obeyance of the law. will not be satisfactory to the counties along the border of Mex ieo and should not be.
 Since the creation of the ranger force in the territory there has been . different condition prevailing to what had been in the past. Since the organization of the rangers no, a single railroad train has been held up; since the rangers came into ex- istence the cattle thieves have been driven from the territory and along with them many other desperate and law-defying men. The rangers have been the means of apprehending and returning many criminals from Mexi- co, some of whom were hung for crimes committed in the territory.
 Why should the ranger service which has proved to be valuable be abolished? To our mind this action has been a very serious mistake both from the standpoint of the welfare of the territory and, from a political standpoint.
 The rangers should be maintained in Arizona for the same reason they are maintained in the state of Texas. because of the large number Of iso- lated districts within our borders. where property cannot be protected in any other way. The best way to protect fife and property in Arizona from criminals is by keeping out the criminals and this the rangers have aoeo:. plished to a most creditable de gree. The fact that Marieopa county or some of the other interior counties are opposed to the ranger service shnuld not cause the representatives of the counties where the rangers are known for Ghdr good works to agree to the abol!shment of the ser vice.
 The ranger service should be c6n- Iinued as territorial organization. so that the entire force may be available in any portion of the territory where necessity may arise. All the counties should share in the expense of main tai. ing this force. no matter where the time or service of this force is reqthrrd most.
 Naturally the greater need of the ranger force is along the information al line. in Yuma. Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise counties. and it would be a piece of folly to contend that tbfte counties should bear the ex- pense of protecting the balance of the territory by heading of criminals at the line. thus protecting every sec fBT Of the territory.
 The democratic mao1rity have made a mistake fin trying to do away with the ranger force in this territory. This mistake can now be rectified and it should be done. No party will be hurt by the correction cf an error and no party can afford to turn deaf ear to the people who have been asking that the rangers be continued.
