teaching season with Professor Joseph
Ballantyne's private class in musical
instruction
Mr.. BallantyDe says that never In
the history of his teach'TE career has
so much interest been shown in the
study OF music. and that the number
of private pupils already registered
greatly exceeds that of any previous

being the most favorable omen, when
so many young men and women in a
community are so much Interested in
musical art, for II means the refine

M'CROSS0N BILLS and BUSINESS
men.

We are glad that the growing OPP
position" to the McCrosson bills has
finally penetrated to the Advertiser
office, where the last stand was made
for the bills.
All that was needed to convince ev-
cry intelligent person of the utter
undesirability of both bills was a
prompt and thorough airing of their
main provisions and their necessary
effect, an airing which would never
have been had If the Advertisers pol
icy of postponement of discussion to
the indefinite future had been carried
out, an airing that would never have
taken an aggressive stand for the
rights of the people.
The meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday demonstrated
some very important things.
First and foremost II demonstrated
that If either of the McCrosson bills
has a friend in this Territory outside
the Executive Chamber, he does not
deem 1t advisable in the present state
of public opinion to come forward
and say so. No one attempted the
slightest defense of the McCrosson
bills on their merits. The business
men Of the community, as represent
ed in the Chamber of Commerce meet
ing, either specifically denounced
them, or. assuming that they were to
be killed on sight, confined the discus
sion to the best way Of killing them.
The second point on which there
was a complete unanimity of opinion
was that the gum-shoe species Of leg
islation, which consists in attempting
to slip bills through Congress with
out adequate publicity here, is not to
be tolerated. The only difference of
opinion that developed was how far
the precautions ought to go. We are
still of the opinion that the better
course, in spite of possible minor dis
advantages, would have been to in
sist upon a submission to the Legis-
lature. Under the resolution as
passed the question of when sufficient
public discussion has been had is still
left in the air. Even action by COM
mercial and other public bodies may
be minimized by those holding oppo-
site views and their resolutions des-
cribed next morning as Going OFF at
half-cock." The Legislature is both
deliberate and representative. 1t rep
resents the people, who should by all
means be given an opportunity to
vote on measures of such far-reach-
ing importance as the McCrosson
bills This matter of detail, however
Is unimportant beside the immediate
affirmation of the principle that
| discussion must be full and public
before promoter is warranted In
presenting a bill involving local af-
fairs to Congress.
The third point upon which there
was absolute unanimity was that both
the McCrosson bills were of the gum
shoe variety,
SO far as the general irrigation bill
is concerned, II seems to have been
considered by its promoters that a
consultation with the Governor and
the publication of the bill two weeks
before Congress met was all the no
tice to which the people of the Terri

Honolulu, the crossways of
the Pacific, is a city enjoying the
blessings of perpetually balmy
climate. The mercury never falls
below SO degrees and never rises
above SIS. Cooling breezes blow
every day in the year over city
whose streets run from busy CEN
tiers of trade into wilderness of
palms and flowers. With a pop
uation no larger than that of
Lexington, Honolulu proves her
position as a plutocratic city by
issuing licenses for about 500
automobiles. There are thirty
seven private schools in addition
to twenty-five public schools In

200 acres in extent, flame with
tropical blooms as bright as the
iridescent plumage of the thou

the mantle of sovereignty by his
successors upon the throne from
which picturesque dynasty was
removed in the interests of bust
ness by the encroaching Anglo
Saxon, who came to dwell in
peace and amity with the Kanaka,
but desired first to take over his
real estate and run the govern
ment.
Honolulu is American at the
core nowadays. Its hotels, its
downtown buildings, its politics,
its amusements. so mark II. The
Honolulu Bulletin announces
that THE Girl of the Golden
West" with all of the scenic
features of the original produce

scented at the Orpheum Theater,

surf in canoes, or upon planks,
the former pastime of natives and
visitors, gives way to the SHOW"
and only hoi polloi omit to dress
for dinner. Beauty parlors do n

simple among the palms, but
about as gay as 1t is in New
York or Paris.

today to that Hawaii Of little
while ago of which some minor
poet wrote:
"On those balmy. palmy islands
in the South Pacific sea,
Dwell a people just as happy and
as naked as can be-"
Completely and strenuousness,
