To the Editor of The Republican:
The personality Of the principal Of
the Oakland High School makes very
little difference to the patrons Of the
school, so long as he possesses the
qualifications necessary to a proper
discharge Of the duties Of the position,
but it does make all the difference in
the world to the patrons Of the school,
and to their children as well, when, with
an almost unanimous voice asking for
the retention of the head of the school,
their request is over-ridden and turned
down, simply because, for political
reasons, it became necessary to keep
peace IN the family
There is not, and absolutely should
not be, any question of politics or re-
ligion in this matter, and that the peo-
pie did not regard it as a political or
religious question is clearly evidenced
by the names attached to the petition
for retention of Prof. Palmer as princi-
pal of the schools as published in your
paper last week.
ANY one attempting to lug politics or
religion into the discussion of this mat
ter is an enemy of the people and of
the public school system, and should be
driven from place and power and rele-
gated to the darkest depths of political
oblivion.
The whole question is simply this,
have the people any rights which the
School Board Is bound to respect? If
they have, then one of these rights is
surely the privilege of petitioning
that august body to retain the people S
choice as the head of their school.
Having expressed their wish in the
matter, if the School Board is the peo-
pies servant and not their master. it
was the duty of the Board to retain
Prof. Palmer. This matter of ignoring
the wish of the people, so clearly and
Enthusiastically made known to the School
Board, should be brought to the atten-
ton of Governor Crothers and demand
be made for the removal of those mem
bers of the board VINO took part in this
business.
Let US find out, as a people, whether
we have any rights entitled to respect
at the hands of those who are charged
with the duty of educating our children
at our own expense.
Like Banquo's ghost, this thing will
not down; and if the, people are deter
mined in asserting their rights, we

The San Francisco call., 1910-05-22
BY GEoRGINA YOUNG

Ben, as he was known by the sailors
and seafaring men who sailed past
Rock castle all hours of the day and
night, was old and often walked with a
cane He lived in Rock castle with his
niece who had been left in his charge
on the death OF his only sister. The
child was bright and gay, and If it had
not been for her many times would the
warning light have failed to shine in
the tower of her home. Ben would say
to her, Star | am getting old and we
may as we'll go to the city across the
waves" as he often called Augusta q
small city Is miles from the lighthouse
and live so you can go TO school with
other little girls"
But Star would not listen. "I want
only you, daddy" she used to say. and
silently walk away.
Wal! wal! The child may as well
have her own way about it then" the
old man argued with himself, "and I
have kept the light a-shining for 80
years, SO / guess am good for another
80"
Many times a day a sailor would get
leave, when the tide was out and he
could not run his boat, to come and
see how Ben and his little Star were.
One day Captain Barry, we'll known
sea captain at that time, asked Ben to
take ride on his steamer up as far
as East channel.
WAL" said Ben, II don't know about
Star. / can't take her along, as that
amt no place for little gals"
But Star overheard him and insisted
that he must go, saying she was 10
years old and large for her age, and
could keep house all right alone.
So all was well and Ben consented,
though rather unwillingly. The black
rOWboat was brought to the rock land
ing and Ben was off for his 81 mile
cruise. He had been gone two hours
and Star was playing with her pet dog
when a mass of clouds gathered in the
sky and the roar of the distant thun-
der almost shook the lighthouse. The
The San Francisco call., 1910-05-22
STAR OF ROCK CASTLE

waves dashed against the rocks and
the rain fell in torrents.
Star thought of Ben--her daddy, as
she called him-and wondered why he
did not come back to her. Night drew
on and he did not return to light up
Rock castle. There was no one there to
do it but Star. Many times she had
climbed the long, winding stairway to
watch Ben put out the light. Now she
thought that she must do ii alone, be-
cause If not maybe some sailor would
run on the rocks and all the crew be
lost. Slowly but surely she climbed the
lighthouse stairs, and after long, hard
struggles the glimmer of the Rock
castle light shone over the bounding
waves.
Far out at sea Ben and Captain
Barry, blown far from their course,
drifted about, unable to see the light.
But at last, after weary struggle,
they caught sight of 1t and followed 1t
as closely as they could.
Many hours after they reached Rock
landing. They hurried in and found
Star, with her dog, by the fire waiting
for daddys return.
When the news reached Augusta
many sailors who sailed on the Atlantic
that night and saw the light were glad
to present Star with gift in memory
of her bravery, and for many years
afterward it was told how Ben's Star
saved many sailors from a terrible
death in the sea.

The Angel and the Pansy

IN I'D you know that pansies were not
J always as they are now2 That Isl,
they did not always have the little
faces we know so well. They were
very beautiful of course, all purple and
gold and bright colors but they did not
look back at you with their black eyes
Even II they had had little eyes, very
probably they would not have dared to
look around for of all the flowers that
grew the pansieS were the most shy
For years and years they had hidden
under the tallest leaves they could find,
for they were too bashfu to come out
into the open. But one day a bird on
his journey through the forest hoped
down to rest in the shadow Of big
leaf Pretty soon he smelled a delicate
sweetness and, hunting about he dis
covered the shy little pansy hidden
away. He crept in under the leaf and
saw the tiny blossom. Then lie flew
out into the world TO tell every one of
the beautiful, modest flower.
Now an angel heard the little bird
singing OF the great beauty of the
pansy so she came down on earth to
see for herself With her long, white
wings she brushed aside the leaf, and
then she was so delighted that she
wanted to take the flower right away
with her and plant it in the gardens of
heaven. She was going to do it and
she had already stopped to pluck the
blossom when she changed her mind
No., she said, they need you down
mere In the gray world. 1t would be
very wicked of me to steal you away
NO, dear little pansy, stay here and
make the world brighter and better"
Then she bent down and kissed the
Httle mower and the image of her face
stayed always on the pansy's petals.

SHRINERS PLAN AVALON
OUTING; CHARITY BALL
MaIaikah Temple Goes to Cata-
Ina October 8 and
Dances Dec. 8

Shriners of Los Angeles are planning
for the annual outing at Avalon OF Al
Malaikah temple October s, and the
charity ball on December 8. A pamph-
let has been issued by Potentate Motley
H. Flint outlining plans for the event.
Special trains will leave the Paclnc
Electric station at $3.50 o'clock on the
afternoon of the Avalon excursion. A
steamer will be chartered on the return
from the island. Noble Clarence Hay
dock, who has charge of the event as
master of transportation, has arranged
for a barbecued fish dinner on arrival
at Avalon Saturday night.
Speaking of the charity ball to be
given in December, Potentate Flint
says:
'For the past three years this tenn
nile has endeared itself to the hearts Of
all by it's systematic work in providing
for the poor on Christmas day. To
raise a portion of the funds to carry on
this splendid work we will give our
usual charity ball Thursday evening,
December 8. 1t is confidently hoped
that each and every noble will co-ope-
rate to the fullest extent and make the
bali a brilliant financial and social
SUCCESS"
The following is statement of the
charity funds of the Shriners in their
announcements:
"At our last ceremonial session $2S222
was collected for two worthy cases;
$141 was paid to the Los Angeles police
department for the relief Of the family
of Policeman David Brooks who was
killed in the discharge of his duty.
''The other half of the amount col
lected was forwarded to the Security
Savings bank, to apply on the home of
one of our late members"
Mr.. Flint says Of the imperial coun-
ell to be held in Rochester:
"Next July the imperial council meets
In Rochester, N. Y, and we will run a
special train from Los Angeles, escort
ing the imperial potentate. The official
escort will be our original Arab patrol
and the celebrated AL Malaikah band.
Ali space in downtown hotels in Roch-
ester has been contracted for. The i'm
perial meeting promises to be the
Greatest in the history of the Shrine"

Sultan of SuIu, Carrying $780,
600 Worth of Jewels, Wor-
ries New York Officials

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The Sultan
of sulu. who is on his way to Amer
lea, carrying among other things $780,
worth of jewels, may be held up by
customs inspectors on his arrival here.
Rumor has 1t the sultan intends to dis
pose of the Jewels in America. He has
carried them with him through Eu-
rope, but failed to find a purchaser
with the requisite amount of ready
cash.
Customs officials express various
opinions in regard to the sultan's pre-
cious freight. Sulu being one of the
nations possessions-an integral part
of the Philippines-some of the off,
cials hold that anything the sultan
might bring in would be free of duty.
The surveyor, however, disagrees with
this.
"If the question is not settled before
he reaches here you can bet the in
spectors will hold him up, sultan or
no sultan" declared Surveyor Smith.
1.-THE law allows no products of the
Philippines to come In free, but 1t Is
question whether the sultan's jew
els are a product of the islands, or
whether they were brought there from
some other country.
Another question is whether they
are set or loose. If set, he might
claim exemption as heirlooms, but II
he sells them here I do not see how
he can escape paying duty. OF course
he has had them since before the Phil
ippines became a part of the United
States and 1t is amtter for the GUS
toms inspector to decide whether or
not that entities them to free entry"
The sultan has sent a wireless dis
patch to Washington announcing his
coming and expressing desire to meet
the president. He will reach New
York Saturday
