Washington and his brothers were out In
the pasture. George noticed his mothers
favorite colt which had never been tanned
to the saddle prancing about and kicking
up his heels.

The boys finally managed to get him
into one corner and TO slip the bride on
him With leap George seated himself
firmly on the colts back Wild with
rage the colt jumped reared. plunged and
did everything in his power to throw his
rider. II was all In vain. He might as
well have tried to throw off his own skin.
At last with one fatal bound the animal
burst a blood vessel and fell dead.
The battle was over. George was victor,

BOYS WHO GOVERN

1t is not improbable that at no very distant
date Junior republic" will he established in
Hawaii, and many Of the conditions here call
for some such move.
Mr.. William WaterhOuse gave an interesting
talk at the University club at noon Yesterday on
the George Junior Republic, or, as it is also
known, the George Washington junior republic
idea He told of the organization, the growth
and the. practical results of these miniature
commonwealth, emphasizing the qualities of
manhood that are brought out in lads whose
youth has perhaps been marred by neglect or
evil influences.
These Junior republics are positive stimuli
to the sense of decency, the sturdy manhood, the
cleanliness of spirit that lies in every youth, no
matter how overlaid with deceit, passion or un-
natural vice. The life in the republics develop
independence, selfcontrol, self-confidence and
a striving for Improvement Somewhat
Utopian in theory, in practice the republics have
proved startling successes There are, as Mr..
Waterhouse freely admits, boys who do not take
kindly to the rules of the republics, who are
FESTIVE under discipline but the majority know
that they can best rule who rule themselves, and
this is the basic idea. of the organization
Hawaii's conditions, climatic and social tend
to looseness of the bonds of convention, and
many boys, not bad at heart, far from criminal
in type, must of necessity be treated almost as
outlaws, in the lack of any medium between
the juvenile court and the industrial school. At
the industrial school, excellent as the admins
tration may be, they are disciplined by external
force at an age when the discipline, if possible,
should come from their own growing conscious
ness of responsibility to society. There is need
for some corrective force less masterful than
the reform school, and this forge is the self-con-
troll of the Junior republic

TREE.PlAETING As A CITY ASSET

The excellent work of treeplanting begun by
the ladies of the Outdoor Circle, Kilohana Art
league, should be extended this fall and winter.
1t is in line with municipal advance and Homo
lulu should take it's place among the host of
mainland municipalities which have started on
definite course of Identification.
Inquiries made by the Craftsman have re-
yealed a very large number of cities where the
beauty Of grass and branch and blossom is soft
ening the austereness of stone curbing and hid
ing the bare ugliness of a vista of flat, hard
paving.
sMany eastern cities have been transformed
i'm this respect within recent years. Tree plant
ing along streets as we'll as highways is prac-
tised very generally now throughout New Eng
land, almost if not fully to the extent that it
was practised by the coIonists and their immc-
date descendants. The shady lanes and roads
of New England constitute one of its greatest
charms In the middle west there has been great
improvement in this particular also Many
towns that had hare streets a few years ago can
now boast of avenues of maple, poplar and even
elm.
"ParticuIar note, however. is made of the
progress of street treeplanting in the far west.

mites to 60 into the work Systematically. 1t

learned has been worth the investment to itself
and of great valu" to it's neighbOrs No com
munity should rush headlong into tree planting
In these days there is available sufficient knowl-
edge to guide all such work skilfully, economi-
caly and effectively. Because of the greater
knowledge now prevailing with regard to the
trees suitable to the peculiar conditions in com
munitles, the work is less experimental, less
risky and of course correspOndingly less costly,
than it used to he. In fact, here is a means of

reach of even the most limited revenues be-
ginning once made by the establishment of :,

ative ease"

THE FILIPlEO'S AMUSEMENT

Answering the question often asked in Ha-
wal, doves the Filipino not wish to bring to his
plantation labor the great sport of the cockpits?
lis an investigation carried on in the Philip
pines by a newspaper which wished to ascertain
il American sports were making great inrOads.
Baseball and other wholesome recreations
have taken such a hold on the FiIipinos that the
business Of the cOckpits is rapidly falling to
pieces. The first example to be cited is the
cockpit at Maypajo Two years ago the attend
ance at that place reached the huge figure of
5000 paid admissions during the days upon
which il was opened. Today the attendance has
been cut down to $500, just half Of what it was
in the good old days of 1910. One reason at
trbuted for the loss of prestige is the fact that
the place has changed hands, the former pro
prietor having been general popular favorite
with the betting, sweating. thousands who used
to throng the place.
The Cervantes cockpit is an even more noted
example Here the attendance was generally
conceded to have been 5000 paid admissions
daily That was up to 1910 Today the attend
ance has dwndled to $780, which is big day
for that place. s
The Santa Ana cockpit, which is a night af
fair, used to attract $500 patrons This num-
Der has come down to 1900.
The San Juan roosterfighting establishment
was wont to house 1000 patrons on good
sporty day If they get 1000, within it's doors
today the are doing good business.
Cinematograph shows and athletic games are
the two principal causes given by the cockpit
syndicates for the falling off Of the attendance
at their places Of amusement, but they all agree
that eel baseball is the principal drawing card
of the thousands of youth who before used to
come out to see the red rooster transfix the
white one The managers shake their heads and
sigh for the good old days when they were
