Washington, ID. c.. April A.
Representative Choice b. Randell
Of Texas, startled number of the
members of the house today by a
statement that many congressman
were "approachable" while engaged
in legislative work. The Texas
member was discussing the bill be-
fore the judiciary committee to pro-
hibit any federal employe from re-
ceiving any retainer from any cor
p1ration engaged in interstate COM
merce.
Representative Nye OF Minnesota,
republican, said it would be better
il Randell would appeal from the
committee to the house instead of
reflecting indirectly upon the MEM
bers of the house.
Randell protested he meant no re-
Elections on any one and declared
nothing he had said could be so
construed After a short discussion
the incident was dropped.

GO SLOW. DEMOCRATS.
n Honolulu Star-Bulletin,

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-lt would seem that to have
anything 10 say politically at the pres
ent time would surely be a waste Of
words, seeing that the Democrats have
everything cut and dried. Apropos OF
the intentions of the Democrats to
make a clean sweep or a complete
change of officials as well as the ad-
ministrative policy of the country. it
might be we'll for the majority on the
victorious side to take look back
ward to what happened in 1893, when
the same policy, in a much modified
form, was followed, when the Demo
Gratis were in power. This bcarken-
ing back 10 the times when this coun-
try was near that condition when it
might have to guess where the next
meal was coming from, is for the ben
eft of those who have arrived at their
majority of late years. and in the dark
days of 1884 they were hardly. old
enough to take in the situation, but
the situation was there just the same.
There is not a Democrat in the
country but hates to be reminded OF
the fact that the Democratic victory
in 1892 brought on the panic of the
following three years.
The election of Democratic senator's

was hailed by all good and true

now, Hawaii can hardly draw back.
How the yacht is to be financed Is
not definitely decided. but there is
talk of a syndicate being formed to
supply the needed funds. Several
large contributions have already been
spoken of in the newspapers, and If
these materialize, the fund will have
a good start. s--..i.
The San Francisco Chronicle,
speaking of the proposed race, says:
The series of international races in
1915, off San Francisco bay, is now
certain to be one of the greatest
events, if not. the greatest in the his
tory of sport. +.
That this series for the blue ribbon
of the seas will be followed by a
great ocean race from San Francisco

singlestickers, under reduced can.

steamers and steam yachts carrying
many thousand people, is the wish Of

AN OBJECT LESSON IN MORALS

The awakening public conscience of Homo
inln on the subject of protection for the morals
of Young women and girls was emphasized this
morning when more than a score of prominent
men and women attended Judge. Robnson's
court. There a young man was sentenced to a
fine of fifty dollars and costs for violating the
sanctity of a home to meet girl sent from the
industrial school TO the protection of a private
family. That protection was destroyed by the
man, and both, it appears from the evidence
were guilty, Of violating The sanctity of that
home. ..-
The Star-Bulletin has no structures to make
upon the sentence passed by Judge Robinson,
for the man was given the limit of the law cover
ing the charge to which he pleaded guilty. AS
TO the charge waived by the prosecution, that of
trespassing, for which an imprisonment sen
tence might have been passed, it is more than
likely that, as City Attorney Cathcart stated, no
jury would hold the young man in view of the
probable weakness of the girl in communicating
with the prisoner and allowing him to come to
the home, and in view of her alleged previous
record. The girl is moral weakling, but not
the less needing tender care and wise protection.
he MAN pnIllSnIueIl WAS HOT HlOHe III tie pdI
try fine he must pay. Indeed, that is the least
part of his penalty. The shame and humilia
ton of his public trial and public admission of
guilt the contempt, the anger he must have seen
in the faces of those in court, are the heaviest
part of his punishment.
The case sad as it is, nasty as it is, has fur
nished the community with good object lesson.
Circumstances contributed luckily to the com
parative legal lightness of the only charge upon
which the man could be held. The next offend
er may not be so lucky. Furthermore, the com.
munity is not in the state of mind to tolerate
eyil-doers whether or not they must be tolerated
by law. s.a,s.. .s.. -t-f
The newspapers Of Honolulu, which have en-
deayored to stir this community to action for SO
many years that glance backward seems al
most confession of impotence will take new
courage from the hearty interest shown this
morning by Honolulus high-minded citizens;
public officials will feel that public sentiment is
on the side of the right, not passiyely, but ag-
gressively; and brutes to whom appeal can be
made only through fear, will hesitate to arouse
the burning Indignation that transcends courts
and law and legal obstacles. = ".~~

in the history of the royal sport
On one point seems to depend the
feasibility of the long ocean race,
that point being the elimination of
the purely racing machine for the
short races off San Francisco. 1t is
certain that cIuhs, syndiea.es and in:
dividual yachtsmen will not build two
types of boat, one for the San Fran
cisco races, and one for the Honolulu
contest. Therefore, the great inter
national regatta which the exposition

tional long distance event.

and measurement must be decided be.

ANOTHER -sGHool Row" SETTLED

The commissioners of public instruction, aft
Ipr long and weary sessions, have Strengthened
ont another s;sthool row" The tunMlt and the
shouting have died; two teachers have been
dropped; the public has heard a great deal OF
charges and counter-charges on matters that
would be ridiculous did they not so vitality con
Germ peace and progress in the Normal School
The school commissioners allowed a remark
able latitude in the presentation of the charges
by the two Normal School teachers who brought
specific complaint against Principal Wood, and
the principal was given every opportunity to
answer these complaints. That be did so salts
factorily to the commission is evidenced by their
action in sustaining the principal unanimously.
.School rows" in Hawaii are too frequent,
and, moreover, too many Of them require the at
tention Of the commissioners of instruction We
venture to say that no board of education in the
United States has to take time for more petty
squabbles and minor chickering's than the board
in this territory. Educational affairs have come
10 an unfortunate pass When day and a half is
devoted to discussing the dismissal of two sub
ortlinates i'm public school. Ii the active heads
Of the school work cannot handle their business
without forcing upon the commission the settle
nent of such cases-not only the settlement but
an entire reYiew-there is obvious weakness in
the system or the men who run it.
The commission did the only logical thing in
,thrashing out the whole matter and allowing
both sides every opportunity TO air their sriev
auces or reasons for action And under facts
nresented the commission was right in sustain
ing the department in dropping the teachers
The point is, however, that the department ought
to be able to settle these eases without having
TO appeal to the decision of the board to bacl
il up.
The territory looks to the superintendent O
public instruction to cheek the kind of "schOo
poIitics' that arose in the Normal School. TIL,
head of the Normal School is admittedly maj
of ability, but, rightly or wrongly he is the sub
iect of much complaint Oh the part of the teach
ers under him. Perhaps some of these teachers
feel that individuality is minimized and system
is overemphasized. The policy of the commits
sion itself proves that the best way to settle u;
complaint is to give fair, thorough and sylnpa
thetic attention to grievances, and, if imaginary
the grievances will he talked into thin air ant
vanish.
Harmony and cooperation between prihci
pal and his teachers are as necessary 10 pIog
ress on the part of students as the right cOurs
of study or adequate facilities for work. And
