LETTERS ON Timely TOPICS

Democrats as an evidence that their
party would carry out its platform
pledge. and strike all protection from
the tariff. There was pressure
brought to bear on Cleveland TO call
an extra session of Congress for the
purpose of doing the slashing as soon
as possible. IL.
To certain extent the wishes of
the slashers were carried out Cleye-
land did call an extra session of Con-
greSs, but il was not to do any slash
ing, not to make any further cuts in
the tariff, but was, as Cleveland stat
ed in his message, Ito deal With an
alarming and extraordinary business
situation, involving the welfare of all
the people. What brought about that
alarming and extraordinary business
situation? The country was prosper
Gus and happy when it was handed
over to the Democrats. 49,.
A very good mental illustration Of
the condition of the United States
during the Democratic administration
under Grover Cleveland can be had by
imagining what this city would be If
turned over to the administrative
ability of few men in the same class
with "Soapbox" Barron. .s....
Sudden changes in the administra-
ton policy of a city or a pan of milk
should be avoided.

JtPAk's CRISIS

Japanese military policy has apparently
eached a crisis, and reached it, moreover, ut an
ntimely period. With the European war
Iouds hanging low and the powers of the world
estless under the portent of coming changes in
International alliances, Japan must settle a sc
ious internal problem and must settle it largely
nder the eOnstraint of external relations.
4 The japanese have struggled under a burden
taxes with bravery and a courage and 81
int steadfastness that has. no parallel in mod
m history. This burden of maintaining an
11ny and navy, of paying the price of the Russo
japanese war, has strained the resources of the
itizens to the limit and the premier of the en-
Iire was but yoieing deep-seated protest when
e declared his opposition to another division
pf the imperial army in Korea.
The crisis is apparent in the determination
the cabinet to resign If the new burden is put
pen the heayily-taxed citizens. The constitu-
iOnalists declare that the load must not lie in
1eased now, while the military party cries for
n0re armies, for a greater navy.
The crisis comes within few months aft
b Mutsuhito's death has put the weight of an
|mpire on the shoulders of Yoshihito, who is 30
ears old. How he will bear himself in this del
cate situation will be watched with information.

RACE ASSURED
CONTINUED from Pase y

hoped that Germany, Japan and Can.
ada and some of the Atlantic Coast
yacht clubs will build for the races,
in which case the Honolulu race will
at once become the most important
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 clubs, 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
management is planning, must be for
q model of speedy cruiser capable OF
crossing the Pacific. in the <interna-
tional long distance event. 80.
Rules All-lmportant.
The important question of rig. type
and measurement must be decided be
fore a single move is made toward
bnilding challenger here, and in all
probability committees will be named
in the near future, including represen.
tatiyes from each of the clubs now
interested; which will get together
on these points. In any event, it is
probable that Sir Thomas Upton
new boat, which he intends to call
Shamrock V. will be different type
of craft from her four elder sisters
Even to sail in San Francisco bay
and off the Farallones. "a. much
stauncher craft Is needed than the
bronze skimming dishes that have
heretofore contested for the Ameri
cas- cup, in Eastern waters. And to
make the run across the Pacific
even in calm summer weather, the
huge single stickers with their enor
nous spread of canvas would be Ell
tirely out of the question.
Honolulans now in San Francisco
have taken up the matter of the race
with enthusiasm, and have given as
surances that the people of Hawaii
will not fail, and that there will be a
local boat in the big race In a way
they have staked the sporting honor

EDITOR
AN OBJECT LESSON IN MORALS

The awakening public conscience, of Homo
lulu on the subject of protection for the morals
of young women and girls was emphasized this
morning when more than score of prominent
men and women attended Judge Robinson's
court. There a young man was sentenced to a
fine of fifty dollars and costs for violating the
saDctity of a home to meet girl sent from the
industrial school to the protection of private
family. That protection was destroyed by the
man, and both, it appears from the evidence,
were guilty of violating the sanetity of that
home. 1.@#-. "1..E.s~ ~
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 wlrich 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 a moral tweakling but not
the less needing tender care and wise protection.
try fine he must pay. Indeed, that is the least
part of his penalty. The shame and hhnlilia-
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. ss<@
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
evil-doers whether or not they must be tolerated
by law.
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 Honolulu's highminded citizens;
public officials will feel that public sentiment is
on the side of the right not passively, but ag
excessively; and brutes to whom appeal can be
made only through fear, will hesitate to arouse
Che burning indignation that transcends courts
and law and legal obstacles

OF the Islands, anu as things stand
now, Hawaii can hardly draw back.
How the yacht is to be financed Is.
talk of syndicate being formed to.
supply the needed funds. Several
large contributions have already been
spoken of in the newspapers, and il.

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.

That this series for the blue ribbon
of the seas will be followed by a
great ocean race from San Francisco
TO Honolulu, in which the same big
singlestickers, under reduced can.
vas, will be followed by a fleet of
steamers and steam yachts carrying
many thousand people, is the wish of
Honolulu, San Francisco and many
others, including Sir Thomas, who
have discussed the plans for the big
races. And where there's will
there's way. ~ ~ ..... 49,.
Competitors to- Date. ...
The competitors which are now as
sured to enter the races for the
yachting supremacy of the seas are:

Thomas Upton.

The boat to be built by the Los An

There has not yet been time for

yachting clubs of the world. But
among those which it is hoped and
expected may enter yachts in the

ANOTHER ~sCH0Ol ROW" SETTLED

The commissioners of public instruction, aft

The school commissioners allowed remark
able latitude in the presentation of the char es
'by the two Normal School teachers who brought
||pecific complaint against Principal Wood, and
HE principal was given every opportunity to
answer these complaints That he did so salts
actorily to the commission is evidenced by their

'|o an unfortunate pass when a day and half is
'devoted TO discussing the dismissal of two sub

without forcing upon the commission the settle
ment of such cases mot 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
fhrashing out the whole matter and allowing
both sides every opportunity to air their griev.
ances or reasons for action. And under facts
presented the commission was right in sustain
ing the department in dropping the teachers.

to be able to settle these cases without having

head of the Normal School is admittedly man
OF ability, but, rightly 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 oyer-emphasized. The policy of the commits
sion itself proves that the best way to settle a
complaint is to give fair, thorough and sympa-
thetic attention to grievances, and, if imaginary
the grievances will be talked into thin air and

The Elks' Minstrels were conceived,
originated and promulgated with a
two-fold idea. The members OF th e
organization are among the best peo.
pie of the port territory. One idea
prevailed to bring these members into
closer personal contact outside the
lodge room, thereby exemplifying one
of the cardinal principles of the
splendid order. These people are de-
sirous of building for themselves a
permanent home, building that will
be an ornament to the city Of Pasca-
goula for years to come and place Of
social enjoyment for the Elks and
their families With these two ideas
uppermOst in their minds, the local
lodge decided upon an Elks' minstrels
as the proper vehicle with which to
bring both to successful termina-
tion. Hence the great Elks' Minstrels.
Having decided upon the minstrel
performance, the mass Of detail re-
mained to be cared for, and much ar
duaus work had to be done in
limited space Of time. In order to
the better take care Of each point OF
detail, special committees were ap.
pointed as follows:

and w. A. Farmer.

possible series taking the form OF the
minstrel performance. The prompt
response on the part of the business
men and merchants and the rapid sale
of tickets while the member Of the
show we're actively engaged in rehears.
ing their parts, insured financial
success weeks previous to The per-
fOrmance itself.
1t is safe to predict that the mem.
bers OF the local lodge will be found
10 the front ranks OF entertainers or
hosts for the people Of the port terri
tory 10 the future, plans already being
discussed looking to those ends.
Whatever forms these entertainments
may take, the personnel Of the local
lodge is such that In itself it is a
guarantee OF Instantaneous success.
MEMBERSHIP GROWING.
During the past few months the
membership of the local lodge has
been rapidly growing, and Indications
are that the next six months will see
the present membership practically
doubled. liz order to( make 1t within
the reach OF the desirable citizens
who are not yet memHers, the lodge
recently reduced the Initiation fee to
S25, at which figure it viii remain for
the next six months, at the end Of
which time it goes back to the origi-
nal amount Of $40.
This reduced rate becomes effect
i've on April |, next. Besides the
many new members who have already

the Scranton Fire Company was Sc
cured for the parade and evening con-
cert work, and the excellent Walker
orchestra secured for the incidental
music and ballads of the actual per-
formance
The violinist of the Walker orches-
ira but recently left the city and il
became necessary to secure another
leader. The choice fell upon Pro-
fessor Drago Of Mobile, man whose
orchestra experience 10 theatres pecu
liarly fitted him for the position de-
manded. With this one exception,
every member of the orchestra en-
gagged is home talent, consisting OF
Mrs. Pickett, w. W. Walker, Placide
Walker, Will Walker and Pedro Cox.
The brass band for the parade and
evening concert was selected from the
flremen's volunteer organization.
This band has made great strides dur
ing the recent months in perfectiDg
itself in high class work, and SO ex-
cellent has grown Its reputation
throughout the coast territory that
the organization is always In demand.
During the recent mardi gras carui-
walls the band appeared in the Biloxi
parades, and shortly before was taken
to Lucedale to play at public func.
tion. Mobile wanted the band for
mardi gras. also, hut the incessani
work was too heavy for the members

| three years ago. since which time the
present excellent membership was
builded and the order firmly estab.
| lished in the confidence and esteem
OF the people at large. Over yeas
agn the idea was conceived that the
local lodge should have a home all Its
own, wherein the numerous social
functions that have made the name
OF Elk synonymous with good fellow
ship and geniality, could be properly
staged and handled, and where the
members of the families of the men,
bers OF the order could tind equal So
cial enjoyment.
This idea gradually grew, and with
it ways aud means we're found to
create a modest fund looking to the
ultimate end desired. This fund grew
apace without extraordinary effort,
until it passed the thousand dollar
mark, when the wise and thoughtful
members decided it were best to buy
the home lot while such lot may be
obtained at a reasonable price, and be
thus prepared for the magnificent
home that was to follow. A few
mouths ago the Mead lot on Krebs
avenue, an excellent location, was
purchased and paid for out OF this
fund.
