| for the firm who dared to make such an
investment. That this firm built wisely
is plainly shown by the present condi-
tions. In the early days, it would not
have been possible to have handled a
50-foot shaft or to have cut a mauso-
leum without enormous expense. And
contracts for this kind OF work were
few and far between, because there was
no demand, owing to the lack OF tacii-
ties To-day, contracts for mausoleuins
and large shaft jobs provoke only pass
ing mention.
Manufacturing firms of to-day are
doing business, as a rule, in saner and
safer way than twenty years ago, It
has taken twenty years to convince
many of the meaning of the word profit.
We know that there has been an inn
provement along this line, small to be
sure, but the improvement is still there
and from this we can gather hope that
this improvement will continue. And
allow me to say that it win have to, If
the business is to grow. For no business
can exist without a reasonable profit.
AS to the granite manufacturer OF
the future, we do not believe that we
deal in dreams when we state that he
will conduct his business as other com
mercial businesses are conducted from
the office. And it is only from the office
that business can be conducted safely
and surely.
MANY manufacturers have learned
this from experience and are using their
experience in a practical way, But still
there are many chances for improve
6 I. = H..
business shall continue to improve, the
granite manufacturer of the present will
be obliged to look after the granite man
ufacturer OF the future and provide ways
and means for the indefinite continuance
of the business, conducted on a safe and
sound basis with time to work, and fine
to play For there is an old saying and
a true one, that all week and no play
makes Jack duh boy and the granite
business dead one.

CURRENT COMMENT
Another Teddy vind.ation.

In the case of Roosevelt VS.. Baldwin,
involving the question of who was the
liar in the 1910 campaign the supreme
court has unanimously found for the
plaintiff. II is judicially determined that
Col. Roosevelt did not misfepresent Judge
Baldwin.
II also appears, despite views of many
to the contrary, that Col. Roosevelt has
some skill as an identifer of unsound
judicial decisions What Judge Baldwin
said was the law was not the law. When
he knocked out the employers liability
act he was not constrained to do so
by the precedents- he was expressing
merely an erroneous private opinion. Ii
is by no means impossible that with
respect TO other matters whereof Col
Roosevelt has been charged with assail-
ing the courts he will be indicated by
the courts themselves. Because GER
tain judge in certain case says that
a certain doctrine is the law this does
not make it the law. While judg-
ment in particular case, when arrived
at, is not to be disturbed, the doctrine
in the case is properly matter for re-
view and adverse comment. Indeed, ii
is not respectful to the courts to say
that they have ever claimed infallibil-
ity or denied the general right to at
tack in one case the principles and the
reasoning Of another case.
The mystery Of how Judge Baldwin
came to make the mistake he did has
never been satisfactorily explained.
However, he sufficiently acknowledged
his error when he failed to bring the
libel suit that was advertised during
the campaign As to the newspapers
particularly the Evening Post that were
sure of Roosevelt's mendacity, their hu.
initiation is complete.
1t will be admitted that 1912 prom
ises TO he as good year for the col |
onel as 1911 was bad-New York Globe. |

EUROPE IS
EAGER FOR CANAL

PARIS, May I'm. II. de Young,
vice-president of the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition, is in Paris
this week on his journey around the
world, which he began in October last
accompanied by his wife and daughter
On his mission as the representative
abroad of the Panama-Pacific Commits
sion Mr.. de Young has visited Japan,
China, India, Egypt and Italy. After
a soiourn here he will go to England,
and later to Germany and the smaller
continental countries.
The French commission of the for
eign exhibitions, including the most
prominent business men of the coun-
try, entertained Mr. de Young at
luncheon this week. AS a result of
his talks with these men Mr.. de
Young said he was assured that
France would be largely represented
III 1915, and that all the prominent
men whom he had so far met had
promised they would use all their in

TO OOMESTICATE HUMMING BIRDS

Armed with a permit from the state
of Massachusetts to catch 100 hum.
ming birds this summer Miss Kath.
crime +. Dolbear. a student at CLARK,
University, at Worcester, Mass, will
try TO domesticate these little birds.
and in so doing will bestow q boon
on the greenhouses; for If homestead.
ed the girds will be set loose in green
houses to take care OF the insects that
infest plants, and to aid in cross-fer-
tilization.
Miss Dolbear has already done
some important work with humming
birds, but this summer her little cap.
tives-the full huHdred if she is able
to snare that many-will be watched
in cages big enough to include small
trees and many growing flowers. The
university has given Miss Dolbear
space for her experiments, and al
ready flower seeds have been planted
in the cages 50 that the birds may be
studied under as natural conditions
as possible. 1t is of greatest impor
lance. if the birds are to be domes
ticated, that they breed in captivity
and this specially Miss Dolbear will
work for this summer.
Previous to this time Miss Dolbear
has watched three birds in captivity
and studied their food and habits. She
gave them spiders and pomace flies tC
eat, raising the flies herself from de
caying fruit, and discovered that a
tiny bird weighing only four grams
could eat ten grams of honey a day
She also discovered that the birC
slept with its long beak pointed il
the air instead of tucked under it,
wing in the manner of most birds.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-06-01

In spite OF the fact that Miss Dol
bear has been advised that it will DO
practically impossible TO produce any
new species of permanence, she is de.
termined to try this thing at least,
for she reasons that if there are 500
species it ought to be possible to so
breed them that new species will be
forthcoming.
- know hybrids are not fertile"
she says, but I have visions of re.
producing at least one more beauti-
full species
This work with humming birds is
not Miss Dolbear's first experience
with birds, for since she was a little
girl she has been petting and watch
ing all the members of the feathered
creation that she can find. Her faith
er, the late Adolph T.. Dolbear of Tufts
College, a noted physicist encouraged
her to study the birds in a scientific
as well as an esthetic way, and she
tells with delight of the chewink that
used to come and take breakfast with
the family every morning, his saucer
being placed on the table with crumbs
| in it.
we used to talk, and he'd talk, ="
Miss Dolbear says, "and when his lit
tie family got big enough he used to
bring them along, although he never
would let them come in--always
made them stay just outside the win
