Kaimuki, Waikiki or Kalihi. This is
for only one way, so it is not hard to
see that free garbage system for
these districts is practically out of
question with horse vehicles. It has
been figured that one auto truck
would do this work for all of these

paratively small. A report will be

A. S. HUMPHREYS-Judge Mon.
sarrat deserves the thanks of the
community for having convicted po-
liceman yesterday of assault and bat
terry on an eight-year-old boy. The
idea that the police may trample on
the law regulating their conduct, in
order to make other people observe
the law regulating theirs, can arise
only out Of total lack of understand
ing Of the principles on which free
government rests The duty of the pc
lice is fully performed by doing what
the law prescribes they may do; when
they go beyond that, they are not do
ing duty, but violating the law. There
cannot be a more dangerous doctrine
than that those who enforce the laws
have the right to be stricter than the
laws, or are in any respect above the
law. That 1t is next to impossible to
secure a conviction on police testi-
mony, is due to the fact that the law,
iessness of that class of witnesses,
both in making arrests and in giving
evidence, is well known by the people
who constitute our juries.

This is the love story of Lydia EN-

llte of her father, and her lovable god-
father. of her husband, potential cap
tain of industry, and of radical young
cabinet maker. Lydia grows from a
care-free girl to mature woman, who
knows life and wants to choose for her
children s happiness and her own, un-
hampered by the social Grundies OF a
middle Western town. This is the orr
ginal and complete version of the
story. 1t raises the question, ''is n

tually separates husbands from their
wives and children, worth the material
prosperity it creates or the sacrifice of

well told, and while it does not under

This is a story of modern fashion
able life, where young man and
woman marry and gradually drift
apart. There seems to be some diff
Guilty in ascertaining why they mar
ried at all, but there is not much diff
ficulty in understanding why it is
that they drift apart. and that the

In this novel, the man appears to have
the worse Of it all through, and yet
thero is something to be said also in
behalf of the wife, The complicated
nature of modern domestic life and So
eial relations is very fully eXemplified
herein, and the inevitable tendency to
drifting apart is given thorough ex-
emplification in the case Of a couple
which allows that drifting to 90 too
far. IT is a wellwritten story, illus
trating modern conditions such as
might easily lead to the situations and
results described herein. The author
has written with great comprehension

FRANKNEss IN STORY FORM.

The Sentence OF Silence. BY Reginald
wright Kaufman. Published by Moi
lat. Yard. and Company. New York,
This author has distinguished himself
by treating in his novels upon subjects
regarding which usually the utmost re.
tlcence is held to be the proper thing,
In this book, he treats Of the sentence
OF silence as being the enforcement of
retleence upon the subject of sex pro.
nounced by teachers, pastors, parents,
and tho general community. In fact, it
is almost universally considered that
any invasion of this silence is at once
shocking and indecent But in this
book, in which the plea for openness in
treatment Of the means for the perpetu-
alton of the human race is put under
the form of a novel, the subject is
dealt with frankly, and yet with be.
coming modesty. AS in his former
story, "The House of Bondage" this
book "fearlessly and realistically por-
trays things as they are.' Accom-
panying this treatment, there is mel
lowed philosophical view which softens
very much what otherwise might be
startling presentations as made. The
book abounds in dramatic tragedy and
climax. but it modifes these with a
flow of humor, pleasant delineation
Of character, and a literary skill that
show the author at his best. 1t is a
novel designed to help and uplift, and
it ought to be popular within reason
able bounds.

LEGISLATURES ASSISTED.

The Wisconsin Idea. BY Charles Nc
Carthy. Chief Justice OF the Wisconsin
Legislative Reference Department, The
Macmillan Company. Publishers. New
York
We have here In concise form from
a man who knows the whole matter, the
gist Of his experience in really helping
legislators, and his methods of doing it.
The author, as legislative Librarian for
over ten years in Wisconsin. has been
constantly in touch with the legislation
Of that State, and he has been desieged,
both by letter and by personal appli.
cation, to give the results of his exper-
ience and methods. His work has been
to prepare legislation, assisting in the
drawing up of bills, in presenting to
legislators who wish to draw up enact
ments. the text Of like measures passed
in other States, and In keeping COM
plete files and records, not only Of the
legislation Of the different States, but
made upon them. The scope Of the work
which he has done. the effect of it, the
influence it has had upon the legislation
of Wisconsin, all arc herein set forth
in excellent form. There can be no pos.
sible doubt about the value of such
work as has been done by Mr.. McCar-
thy. He was a pioneer in this field,
which was left untitled all too long.
The work that he has done, the bene.
fits which the legislature derives from
it, and the educational value of it to
the general public, have caused other
States to follow in the same track and
establish the same sort of Legislative
library that Mr.. Mccarthy has collect
ed and is using for the benefit Of the
legislatures in Wisconsin. There is no
doubt but that every State will event.
ually establish such a library as he
herein describes, and will put into ef-
feet the same sort of methods that he
has put into effect in Wisconsin for the
guidance and furtherance of legisla.
tive work. We are glad, indeed, to re-
ceive this volume, for it is one of the
utmost practical benefit, plain, straight
forward. and helpful to the student No
work as good has been presented in
this line

cRoss-coNTINENT ROMANCE.

On the Trail to Sunset BY Thomas w
and Agnes a. Wllby. Illustrations
from Photographs. Published by Mof
fat. Yard, and Company New York.
Crossing the continent by automobile,
whether in parties or by individual ef-
fort. has come to be quite a pleasant
diversion, and the parties that cross
from coast to coast are always cnthu-
siastic about the beauties, the benefits,
the diversions, and the experiences that
they have had en- route, Thus tar, how
ever, the crossing OF the Continent i'll
automobile parties has not been bent
to the service Of romance This book
breaks that record, and brings the ro-
nance into the crossing, as many a ro-
nance was had in the old-time cross
ings of the plains IN emigrant wagon
trains. 1t is very pleasantly told
story. and the romance is enliVened by
vivid descriptions of scenery, of the
beauties OF mountain. plain, desert, and
the brilliant colorngs of the atmos
phere in sunrise and sunset. 1t is a
charming novel, beautifully written
