if it is left to him, has no such
rule of conduct and no sympathy
with such methods. The laxity
of his system may swing as far
in the other direction, but the
grandfather feels that if he is not
dealing with an actual angel he
is with potential one.
A good rule for a grandfather
to pursue, particularly as he has
that dog-like affection and follow
ing so characteristic of loving
grandchild, is to have his con-
versation, not only of the purest
that goes without saying-but
of the clearest and choicest, both
of thought and of language.
One ought not to too greatly
minimize words or weaken
thoughts even with young chill
dren. What is essential is to en-
large the vocabulary, make it as
choice as possible and incidental
ly to quicken his powers of OBJ
servation. To this end the tell
ing of stories in carefully phras-
ed language is more effective and
impressive than reading.
When one hears a child using
somewhat unusual words, but US
ing them correctly, the inference
at once is that he is in the habit
of listening to correct and choice
speech as we'll.
1t is a delight for all to witness
the glisten of a child's eye and
the lighting up of his mobile
countenance when he feels, as he
is sure to do, that he has spoken
to the pleasure of others.
The kindling power of observ-
alton never ceases to interest and
please. The grandfather in his
city walks, by country woodland
paths, by the seashore, and where
tree and flower are ever reveal
ing new beauties, finds his grand
children putting things together
in the way of reasoning, and
reaching new conclusions as his
own children never seem to have
done. These are an opening book
to him to which he is every ready
to contribute additional leaves.
To the grandfather there is left
the privilege of watching as from
a serene height the finer develop
ment of that nature in which he
may feel he is trusted to have a
shaping hand. He may scatter
sunshine all along it's pathway
and watch the rainbow of prom

THANKSGIVING.

For the material blessings of
the past year; for the freedom of
the Islands from suffering, sick
ness, disaster or more than iso-
lated cases of sorrow; for con-
tinued growth; for peace and
happiness, free from religious,
racial or industrial strife, and for
a promise of a future, bright and
glowing, Hawaii today may most
appropriately return grateful
thanks to the Giver of all things.
No community in the Union is
more entitled to be thankful than
we of Hawaii mel; from no COM
munity should more sincere and
more heartfelt utterances of
thankfulness arise.
The past year has been one
without an event to mark it down
in history, and it has been we'll
said that: Happy is that nation
that has no history" Evenly,
peacefully, prosperously the year
has passed and with great prom
Use the new year is opening up
before us. Wealth has been
poured into our lap; health has
been our portion; nature has been
kind, and neither storm, earth
quake, drought nor flood has
married the passing months.
Truly have we been blessed,
and true should be Our acknowl-

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 22.-The
Great Northern, through President
l.. w. Hill, announces the Inaugural
ton of a plan of advertising the re-
sources and assisting in the coloni-
cation of the Pacific northwest
which is today meeting with much

exhibit now being made in the east
from Washington, Montana and
Oregon. A passenger coach is to
be fitted with samples of the
Pacific northwest which next year
will be sent over the variuos east
ern railroad systems, affording
people living along the lines an OPP
portunity to see at first hand what
the west has to offer in the way
of inducements for settlers.

WANT CITY. HALL
NORTH Of RIVER
NORTH SIDE BOOSTERS THINK
1T OUGHT TO GO TO KEY
STONE OR CENTRAL
ADDITION.

At meeting of the North Side
Improvement club, held last night
at the home of F. A. Foss, 01413
Washington street, it was resolved
to have an ordinance introduced at
once in the city council providing
for grading, curbing, sidewalking
and sewering the district between
Howard and Division streets, the o.
r. & n. tracks and Sinto avenue.
Later it is planned to have Wash
ington street and Boone avenue
paved and electroliers installed,
such as it is planned to place in the
downtown district.
The club resolved to make a bid
for the location of the city hall in
that district, the idea being to allow
the city jail and fire station to re-
main in the downtown district and
to have the city hall on the north
side of the river.
1t is also proposed to have the
city council extend the fire limits
so as to take in that section of the
city as far north as Sinto. This
means that only brick buildings
shall be erected.

FOR THE NEWSIES

"Oh, you benefit performance"
is now common expression

They are going to have big pa
rade before the show and march
through the principal streets, and
they will go some, too. They will

ORPHEUM CIRCUIT
TO FIGHT THE
MORRIS CIRCUIT

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-An al
lance of vaudeville syndicates
comprising the Orpheum circuit
and an English combination of mus
ic halls is being planned today by
Martin Beck and Morris Meyer
field, who have been negotiating
with Alfred Butt of London.
The combination would strength
en- the Orpheum circuit in Ameri'
ca with the choicest of English
teams, and in England with the
best American acts.
The combination is regarded in
some quarters as being intended
to drive the VIM. Norris interests
from the vaudeville field The
Morris circuit is strong in the east,
the Orpheum in the west. Each is
reported to be planning an invasion
of the others territory and it is
belived that the Orpheum people
have made the first aggressive
move against the rivals.
The combination of American
and English interests will be made
by transfer of stock in the enter
prises.

said among other things:
The time has passed when South
Dakota republicans can afford to laugh
at Egan's pretent.ons. The fact can
not be longer overlooked that he is
attracting a very large following.
Neither can it be doubted that this
following is coming largely from the
Vessey element. Egan does not APP
peal to republicans who are adhere
ants of the stalwart faction in South
Dakota politics. He fought the stall
warts of Minnehaha county and beat
them. He, therefore is not weak
ening Elrod, but Vessey, and the con-
test at this time lies, not between
Samuel II. Elrod and Robert 6 Yes
sey as to which will be the republi-
can nominee and the next governor
of South Dakota, but between Sam.
uel II. Elrod and George w. Egan.
This statemel t may excite the risibil-
tiles of South Dakota republicans who
do not look beneath the surface, but
the fact remains that there is grave
danger, at this time, that Egan will
slip in and steal the bone Elrod and
Vessey are fighting over
in this crisis in the affairs of the
party, Vessey cannot hope to stem the
~undercurrent which is setting in Egan-
ward, because Egan is steadily de-
plotting Vessey's strength in the coun-
ties formerly strongly for Wesley. The
only hope of those republicans who
do not want to see Egan nominated
for governor, is for them to unite
upon Elrod."
Tom Thorson said to the Register
last week, "Egan is no longer a joke
and it looks as though he might de.
feat both Wesley and Elr d."
