Is He Consistent?

DR.. Woodrow Wilson, late president
of Princeton university and now gov
ernor-elect Of New Jersey, has been
one of those college professors who
are against pensions to the veterans
of the civil war. All the same, he has
applied for a pension from the Car
negie foundation, which gives PEN
sions to professors after a certain
number of years of service. His ap-
plication is naturally making a good
deal Of comment, with his friends and
the professors as a class claiming
that the pension Is desired more for
its honor" than for it's pecuniary
value. Some of the doctors chickens
came home to "oost in his opponents
pointing out that he is not entitled to
q pension while he is receiving a
good salary as governor of the state.
This seems to be on all fours with
the arguments in the case of civil
war pensioners. OF course, we can
say with regard to DR.. Wilson what
we have said about thousands of 9th.
er pensioners who have been attac,the
by the pension-hating ore f. n
pens pension m,,l nsse 'wtHd of esq., HAT his
ceini- - and -heagt;ss whatever to do
the greatever money no is now re-
mfTIg or about to receive, The per-l
sion comes from something that he
has earned in the past, At the same
time we cannot refrain from asking
how much more is a man entitled TO
q pension who served period OF
years in the comfortable berth OF al
professor at fine salary than man
who put in three or four years car
rying musket in the war and doing
all the awful drudgery and mourning
all the dangers that a soldier in the
ranks had to undergo in serving his
country ?-National Tribune.

Why Should Legislators Rest Three
DAYS in SeYen2

The legislature at Olympia is fol-
lowing the precedent established in
former sessions by taking half hol-
iday every Friday, full one on Sat-
urday and another half day on Mon
day. during which time most of the
expenses of the session run on Just
the same as If the solons were at
tending to business instead of taking
a rest. All the employees receive
full pay for seven days a week, al
though they have nothing to do
from Friday noon till Monday noon,
nearly one-half Of their time thus
being spent in idlcness. Under this
system of working four days and
laying Off three, the legislature is
actually in session but about "a days.
If the members are in earnest In
their profession of a desire for econ
omy they might work few more
hours and complete the work of the
session in 40 days instead of putting
In the entire time of so days al
lowed by the constitution.-Spoka

THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE.

THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
A beautiful life is a beautiful deed,
A giving of self for the imminent
need,
A friendly endeavor of heart and Of
will,
To help companion climb over the
hill.
A beautiful life Is a service OF
thought,
Carried int actions Of graciousness
fraught
With spirit unselfish and broadness
of mind,
And being unconsciously human and
kind.

Press Opinions
Fresh, Cold Air.

The multiplication of sleeping
porches is an indication that people
are beginning to realize the import
ance of fresh air. Cold and ventila-
ton exist in an inverse ratio, you
can take an ailing youngster, tired
out, fussy, nervous. on the verge Of
tears at the end of a day, wrap him
in blanket so that little more than
the end of his nose is exposed, throw
all the windows in the room wide
open and in an hour the nerves and
fussyness will have disappeared. 1t
won't do, Of course to get chilled in
the process of airing yourself out.
But taken under proper precautions
there is no doubt that plenty of
fresh cold air is a wonderful invig-
orator and remarkable preventive
of disease.-Walla Walla Union.

.ANTI4SWIMMING RULE
UPHELD BY COURTS

Circuit Judge Henry E. Cooper yes
terday afternoon rendered decision
sustaining the order made by the board
of health at the time of the last out,
break of cholera, against bathing in
and about the harbor of Honolulu. The
judge held that the board IS order was
reasonable and proper regulation, and
ne found j. Lightfoot, Jr., who violat-
I'D it for the purpose of a test case,
guilty of breaking the law, and fined
him $l.00, without costs.
Lightfoot went in bathing at the
Healani boat club; iefying the board
of health s published order against all
bathing in the ocean, from Kalihi to
Waikiki, while cholera was here. The
case was fought on technical grounds
the evidence being undisputed. Light
foot talks of an appeal to the supreme
court.

SAYS GOVERNOR
TALKS TOO SOON
Attorney for Homesteaders Do
claros "Fake HOmesteadInn"
Is Not Before Courts.
lMan apeeIal y rhe AaverlI.er.l

(Mnil Special to The Adveriiser.)
HILo, November 27.--The Kaiwih
Third settlers and their friends are
much exercised at the manner in which
Governor Frear has been commenting,
as shown in the Honolulu press, on the
test case which is now pending before
Judge Parsons. Some very strong ex-
pressions have been used in regard TO
the chief executive, who, they claim,
as former chief justice of the SUI
preme court, should have had a higher
sense of legal propriety than to CONF
ment in the press on q case which is
still awaiting decision.
'tThe Governor says that some men
get their patents by telling les" said
Attorney Irwin, counsel for the set
tiers. SIN the first place this is not
true, because the men have not obtained
their patents. He also speaks of fake
homesteaders,' referring to the Kaiwiki
settlers. Under all the circumstances
the Governor should certainly have
kept quiet until after the case had been
decided. 1t is plainly a breach Of pro-
priety to make comments while cases
are still pending before the courts. He
has designated these homesteaders as
| fake homesteaders' merely on the ex
parte statements of one man. AS a
matter of fact, the question Of fake
homesteading was not raised at all in
the pleadings, the only question before
the court being whether these men had
/ lived up to the conditions of their
agreements. If the attorney general IS
department had made that a part of
the Territory 3 case, the matter could
have been taken up, but, following its
usual practice, it did not do so. There
is no evidence whatever in the case to
show that these men were other than
actual hOmesteaders who carried out
their homestead agreements.
Land Department Was Wise.
F.! "There can be no question whatever
but that the land department knew
right along about the manner in which
| the homestead lands were being cult
waited and that it knew substantially
Of the conditions of the agreements
between the homesteaders and the plan
tation. AS matter of fact, the prac
\ tee was carried on virtually with thu
tacit understanding Of the land depart
ment..
:.'As a matter of fact / have beer
informed by the Opea-Peleau settlers
who took up land a short time before
the Osorio Settlement Association wen
into operation, that Jack Atkinson, VIII
at the time was Acting Governor, toll,
them that they would be granted land
only on the condition that they woul
enter into agreements with the plan
: tation. Judge Perry has told me tina
he has in HIS possession napers b
: proxe that this is the case.
/, "However, even if the Governc
, wishes to have the case tried in til
newspapers, am used to trying min
: before the courts, and / do not wis
to make any further comment ther,
] on"

.E0NA SHOOTING CASE
before MAGISTRATE

HILo, November 27-Deputy 1Coun-
ty Attorney Heen who, with Sheriff
Pua, started from Kailua last week,
and was expected to arrive in Hilo
last Sunday, has advised County At
torney Beers that he viii not return
for several days yet, as he is engaged
in the prosecution of young Henriquez,
who is charged with having killed one
Japanese and wounding another. The
case has taken several days before the
South Kona district magistrate, and
there is every likelihood that it will
last the better part of the week. At
torneys Lightfoot and Mcbride are
counsel for the defense and are making
a bitter fight.

Island up in arms against the estab-
lishment Of more saloons il Rock Isl
and, but the liquor interests as we'll
have taken steps to prevent such a
! state of affairs. Recently in a confer
ence with city officials, important
/ brewery officials stated that they were
against licensing of more saloons and
said that if the petitions are success
full they themselves will legislate to
have the number of saloons in Rock
Island regulated by the population
They freely admit that more saloons
would not only be a detriment to the
public in general but a menace to the
/ saloon traffic as well.
There are now nearly 100 saloons
in Rock Island and the brewery in
terests as well as the Rock Island
Retail Liquor Dealers association Is
satisfied that that number is sufficient
to meet the demands of the traffic.

MAKES DENIAL OF
RUMORED intent

Mrs. W. c. Bennett, president Of
the board of directors of Bethany
home, made emphatic denial today of
the rumor circulated to the effect
that the Moline members of the
board intend to withdraw from the
organization and lay the foundation
for similar institution in Moline.
She stated that the rumor was
groundless and that the railway
compsny has made no advances to-
wards buying the present property
Moreover, she says, as far as she is
concerned, the Moline members will
not withdraw for they are too deep
ly interested in the institution which
they have built up jointly with the
Rock Island ladies to give it up. Mrs.
Bennett is preparing an official state
ment to put quietus on the story.
