systems and institutions, arts and
manufactures, laws, revenues, army
and navy; and plunged her beneath
the horrible depths of fraud, vi
olence, madness, war, starvation and
woe. In spite of these radical
movements, the steady march of
rational freedom was hindered BY
the corrupt practices, systems and
traditions of the church and states,
which are deeply rooted in the old
continent. We can hardly expect
the happy realization of rational
freedom in Europe. We must look
for it elsewhere. The destiny falls
upon the new continent which is
freed from the old INITIATED insti-
tutions. In America alone where
there are the free church and state,
the ideal of reason shall eliminate
to wear the royal diadem of it's final
victory.
Yes, it began with the Pilgrim
Fathers, when they sailed hither to
the shore of the new continent to
enjoy the full and free develop
ment of their ideal. In their COM
mon spirit and consciousness, there
was the beginning of rational free
dom destined for its establishment
until it should spread itself in the
fresh air and the beautiful sunshine
of justice, benefcence righteousness
and truth. Thus, if it has been
planted in America by the pilgrims
through their tolls, patience and
tears; if it is destined for realiza-
ton; if it has made it's first eternal
manifestation in the American con-
stitution; if it is involved in the
principle of liberty, quality and
fraternity if it was founded and
nourished by the courage, patriotism
and death of the Fathers of their
country; if it is making advancement
by the church, school, state and pub
lie sentiment; if it must destroy the
present evils of intemperance, fraud,
se~nsuality, bribery and other vices
and crimes; it must use the agency
OF Americans, not separated as indi-
vidual states, but united in one com
mon universal organic whole, and
pervaded, infused and linked to
gether by n rational spirit of free
dom. One nation, one supreme con-
stitution, one common destiny, one
heart and sentiment, one Rational
Freedom, and one common glory in
its realization, must be the means
and end, cause and effectof the ideal
that shall be established in the peace
full abode of the Pilgrims and the
Sweet land of liberty"
Local history, sectional pride and
partisan tradition and principles
may be dear to every true American
heart, but let none of them violate
Justice or forget the common destiny
of Americans as an organic whole.
Already has Washington in his Fare
we'll Address warned that Union is
the glorious palladium of liberty.

WEARY Of LIFE,
SHOOTS HERSELF
Miss Bertha Rumble Sends a
Bullet Crashing Through
Her Brain.

Tired of the burden Of life, accusing
many people of causing her to lose her
desire to live, and fretting herself into
a condition where Authorizations af-
feeted her mental balance, Miss Bertha
Rumble fred bullet into her brain
yesterday forenoon about 8 o clock in
a room in the Elite building. The
wound did not prove instantly fatal,
but the woman died a few minutes
after being hurriedly conveyed in the
patrol wagon to- the Queens Hospital.
The woman had made several pre-
vious attempts to end her life, the
most recent one being on Saturday
night, when her weapon failed to ex-
plode the cartridge. About four months
ago she shot herself in the back of
the head with a .22-caliber revolver,
but the small bullet was DETECTED on
the skull and glanced off without do.
ing her any harm.
Yesterday morning Miss Rumble
called Mrs. Curry, the landlady, into
her room. She seemed to be nervous,
and made some rather incoherent
statements about her troubles, refer
ring frequently to Attorney Magoon as
the author of many of them. She said
she was tired of life and would kill
herself. she even stated that she had
tried to end it all the night before,
but her revolver would not work. AS
Miss Rumble is in the habit of be-
moaning her misfortunes, Mrs. Curry
listened and commiserated with her,
but attached no significance to the
talk, leaving the woman, who gave her
hand a final pressure.

.H|LO Dad, HONOLULU
WORSE, FRISCO AWFUL

HIL0, March ga vigorous SER
mon, directed against the lack of in
terest of the people of Hilo in the
matter of church attendance, especial
~ as regards the attendance at even
ing services, was delivered last Sun
day forenoon al the Church of the
Holy Apostles by Rev. Mr.. Fenton-
Smith. The sermon was based on the
text of the confirmation service, and
it was pointed out that many commu-
nicants sooner or later forgot their
promises given at their confirmation,
and let the things of the world, such
as, for instance, late Sunday dinners,
interfere with their church attendance.
Some people thought that by attend
ing church in the morning they did
their whole duty. but they did only
part thereof, it being their duty to
attend both forenoon and evening ser
vices. Sunday did not belong to man,
but to God, and should be devoted to
Him.
In conclusion Mr.. Fenton-Smith
stated that Honolulu was as bad in
this respect as was Hilo, and that San
Francisco was even worse.

DEMOCRATIC TACTICS
KILLED SUBSIDY BILL
BY Ernest G. Walker.

mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, February 2S.-At
this time-four days before Congress
adjourns-it looks very much as
though a ship subvention bill would
become law and thus legislation put
upon the statute books which will ma
terially aid Hawaii transportation ia
cilities between Honolulu and the main
land The Senate bill has been favor
ably reported by the House COMMITTEE
on Postoffiees and Fostroads. Forum
ately it is the Senate, or Gallinger, bill
word for word without any amendment
whatsoever. If the bill becomes law
at this session, it must also pass the
House in similar form. If there is any
modification whatever, even to the
crossing Of or the dotting of an i,
the bill in all probability will be
doomed.
Democrats are anxious to defeat it.
In the Senate they would talk it to
death. But if the House passes the
Senate bill without change there will
be no such opportunity for Democratic
opponents in the upper legislative
branch. The Democratic opposition IN
the House is strong, and it will be
aided by such influential Republicans
as Representative Burton, of Ohio. 1t
is the plan, however, to bring about
consideration under special rule that
will permit of no amendment and which
will also curtail debate
President Roosevelt and President
elct Taft are both ON record as heartily
favoring this legislation. They have
expressed to members of the House IN
recent days their earnest wishes that
the bin should become law, especially
for the opportunity it would give for
the building up of American shipping
on the Pacific. It can not be said yet,
at all positively, that the bill can COM
mand a majority in the House, but its
friends are very confident. The fill
clustering tactics the Democrats have
planned at that end of the Capitol will
hardly be effective beyond emphasizing
their own attitude toward the legisia-
ton.

AS to the Blame.


While, technically, the blame for the
Logan's predicament attaches to the
pilot, who is regarded as in absolute
charge and responsible from the time
he goes upon the bridge, yet none are
less inclined to blame him than those
aboard the stranded transport, or to
feel more regret that for an error in
Judging the lights about the harbor on
Saturday night, Captain Sanders, the
pilot, should have to shoulder the
blame.
The matter will come officially be-
fore Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell. under whose ap-
pointment the pilots hold office. Su-
cognizance of the matter yesterday and
today he may have before him the
report of the pilot His future course
will, of course. depend upon the ac-
count of the Logan's trouble as con-
tanned in that report. In the event
that the report indicates a fault on
the part of the pilot. an inquiry may
have to follow, but the method of pro-
cedure is not clear to the Superintend-
ent of Public Works.
The local inspectors of hulls and
boilers may take official cognizance of
the entire situation and cause an in
quiry to be held to determine the ac-
countability of those directing the
course of the vessel. An inquiry will
be to ascertain how the Logan hap
pened to be eoursing along the extreme
seaward side of the harbor prior to
going upon the fringe of Sumner Is
land, and why it was in that position
: after rounding the lighthouse point;
and in the event of satisfactory an
swer being made, why it would be nee
essarv to make such a wide detour to
enter the main basin of the harbor on
which the Matson wharf lies, and at
which the Logan was to moor on this
occasion. The inquiry viii settle, of
course, who was on the bridge; what
course was followed; what, if any,
conversation was held between the cap
tain of the ship and the pilot as to
