Church Concert.

The concert to be given by the
Church of the Good Shepherd on
April 18th, promises to develop
into genuine treat for the music
loving public. The committee in
charge are making every effort to
give the people here something a
little better than usual. Count
Zedwitz of Lahaina will be on hand
with his violin, and his well known
ability is sure to draw many. Mr..
Rattray of Puunene, who has not
been heard in Wailuku, but who is
said to have a beautifully clear
tenor voice, will sing some of his
old Scottish ballads. Mrs. Sansted
of Lahaina will recite, Mr.. G.. d.
Lufkin will help out with a Cornet
solo, and Mr.. Lufkin's efforts along
this line are always pleasing. An
effort is being made to secure a
soloist from Honolulu. There will
also probably be a Hawaiian quart
ct. Altogether this should prove
program of much merit.

The Late W. F. MOSsman Leaves
UnbIemiShed Record.

William F. Mossman, the we'll
known kamaaina, who died Of
paralysis at the Paia hospital on
March 22nd, was born in London,
England, about seventy-eight years
ago.
Between thirty and forty years
ago he and the late James Ander-
son attempted to establish a sugar
plantation at Makawao, but owing
to repeated failures in securing the
proper mill machinery from Eng
land two of the vessels conveying
it being wrecked in succession,-
gavedp the attempt and conducted
a thriving general store at Maka-
wac. A tall and imposing chimney
still called by old residents Moss
mans folly" marks the site of the
proposed mill.
After time Mr.. Anderson took
charge of the store and Mr.. Moss
man became district magistrate of
Makawao.
Later Judge Mossman became col
lector of the port of Kahului under
the monarchy, and finally post
master and manager of the planta-
ton store at Hamakuapoko.
William Mossman was quiet
man, most affable in manner, and
maintaining during his long resi-
dence in Hawaii nei an unblemished
record in business dealing.

Argument
For Tariff
An EngIishman's Views as Expressed
in the Daily Mail.

The theory of American protec-
ton is this: 1t is impossible to
distribute wealth equitably except
ing through high wages and high
rate of wages is incompatible with
unrestricted competition. If, for
example, the cost of producing steel
rails at the Han Yang mills, where
Chinese skilled labor receives four
pence day, is much lower than at
Middlesbrough, then, given free
trade, Middlesbrough wages must
fall.
Let me offer a short concrete in
stance OF the way protection works.
President Taft has incurred much
hostility within his own party be-
cause he has appointed an expert
Tariff Commission, this Commission
being suspected of designs to tor
pedo the present high tariff. "Sche-
dule K" the tariff on wool and
woollen cloth, is the chief target at
present for the tariff smashers.
The Commission, after examining
a shoal of witnesses, analyses the
distribution of the profits in an
average suit of American clothes
which costs $23 (f4 12s.) The
1917 pounds of raw wool protected
by high tariff costs los, and leaves
a profit of 3s 1Od to the farmer.
The highly protected cloth costs 19s
I'd and leaves profit of 1112d to
the mill owner. So that the joint
beneticiaries by all the protection in
Schedule K" only gets As 912d,
On the other hand, the ascertained
profit of the wholesale dealer on
this suit is returned at 8s Cd, and
of the retailer at 26s. As 912d is
the possible amount the robbel
tariff barons get out of "a 12s-
some 5 per cent of the price paid by
the ultimate consumer.
And what does the nation get in
return for the tariff?
1t gets high wages; it enjoys not
the article, but the art. Every
evening, after having paid for the
cost of subsistence''-the bread
and the meat bill-thirty millions
of American workers still have ovel
S30,000,O00 to go shopping with.
Our United Kingdom gross income
which includes all purchases of raw
material, is 81. 100000, 900. The
American wage earners have
1900, 100000 to shop with aftel
they have paid for actual necessa.
ries. 1t is this voracious demand,
the demand of all the nation EN-.
iployed all the time at the highest
rate Of wages, which makes good
times. True, such a colossal de-
mand must make also for higl
prices but is it better to have higf
prices the resultant of the highes
wages than to have, as here. low
prices the result Of no wages at al
of 80 per cent of the community
ever on the verge of hunger. !"

Species
Find New Line Of EndeavOr in the
City Of Philadelphia.


would have us believe that nothing
much ever happens, has found a
brand new occupation for women
so far, at least, as the United States
is concerned. The new woman's
work is to act as conductors on
street cars, and the gruff Move up
front, there" of the male of the
species may be expected to give
way to Please move farther in, !"
spoken in a soft feminine, voice that
would compel obedience by its very
sweetness.
Some such theory has probably
influenced the action of the Phila-
delphia Traction Company in de-
Gliding to make the experiment.
Not that the Philadelphia company
is altogether original in its innova-
| tion, for in a few of the smaller
cities of Europe and in Valparaiso,
Chile, women are employed on some
OF the street-car lines.
But Philadelphia has taken the
lead in this country and an interest
ed and expectant people will watch
the result. Heretofore the field of
the woman who works has been
confined mostly to indoor occupa-
tions, although just last week a
New York woman was made a
Police Department detective at a
salary of s2750 year and quite a
humber of women in the East
manage small farms and are well
paid for the work.
| Just what effect the employment
OF women as conductors may have
on the scale of wages is uncertain.
Always, whatever employment is
thrown open to women, there is
certain to be the same controversy
over prices that has occurred, for
example, in the teaching profession.
On the one hand there will probably
be the complaint that wages are re-
duced by this competition to the
starving point, and on the other
there will arise the familiar demand
of equal pay for equal work.
A complicated issue may ensue,
but there would seem to be no good
reason why woman conductor
could not do just as good work as
the average male, and probably in
a much more agreeable way. The
work calls for intelligence, vigilance,
the gift of tact and good nature.
| And these qualities the working
woman of today, whether her task
be to stand for weary hours behind
a dry goods counter or to be able to
flourish off 200 words of Pitman a
minute, or to IAlrse a sick and
petulant patient, possesses in un-
doubtedly greater degree than the
average man who gets, a job at the
rear end of a street car.
1t is an old story, of course, that
the working woman of the present
is not at all the same as her sister
of half or quarter of century ago.
Take, for instance, the profession
OF sick nursing and compare the
nurses of the time of the immortal
Sairy Camp and Betsy Prig with
their successors of today. Now,
for nursing the very best women
are needed, strong in health, intel
ligent in mind, with grit and back
bone, with firm characters and SYM
pathetic hearts.
A word of caution may be offered
to the Philadelphia Traction Com
pany, however. For their own
peace they should lose no time in
posting the sign, mo suffragette
need apply" For the lesson of the
"shrieking sisterhood" of the Eng
lish capital, who are making the

Ball Artists Are Doing.

W
of the Cincinnati Reds stole 80. In
the two baseball finds her greatest
base-runners, ,at least as far as figures
go. John Devore of the New York
Giants had 61 stolen bases to his
credit; Clyde Milan of the Washing
ton Nationals had SO. These two
came nearest to equalling the totals
of the two leaders.
Cobb and Bescher differ in size
and style, and of the two Cobb is
unquestionably the greater. Cobb
depends on his speed, agility and
cunning; Bescher on weight and
speed.
In 1911 Bescher played in seven
more games than Cobb. A member
of team that was never a serious
contender after the first two months
of the season, Bescher had the op-
portunity to run wild. Cobb, a
member of team that was in the
penant fight until the last six weeks
of the season, had to keep in leash.
Cobb's ability to steal was not given
full liberty until the championship
race was practically decided against
Detroit.
Bescher could afford to take most
any chance; Cobb could not. AL
though he stole but three less than
Cobb, the Detroit star scored Al more
runs than Bescher, getting a total
of 147 to Bescher 106. Cobb stole
more bases in less attempts than
Bescher.
In the American League eondi-
tions for base-runners are about
even with those in the National.
The pitchers of the Americans are
much more alert in watching base
runners than those of the National,
while the American catcher are in
ferior to those of the parent organ
ization.
Charlie Doom, manager of the
Philadelphia Nationals, is author of
the statement that in the National
League there are not five, pitchers
who give the proper attention to the
base-runners, while in the Ameri-
can League there are few hurlers
who do not keep the runners hug
ging the bags.
Base running with Cobb, like bat
ting, is a science. Cobb has spent
hours in practicing sliding. Cobb
slides when the occasion does not
call for it. He has done much slid
ing that appeared unnecessary to op-
posing players and spectators, but he
continually slides into bags to make
the action mechanical, tutoring him.
self to time the slide perfectly to
prevent sliding short or over-sliding
the bag. Cobb claims that hitting

| from the bag has become as natural
for him as starting for first after
hitting the ball.
The pitcher and catcher figure
prominently in Cobb's methods. He
has studied every pitcher in his
league; he has studied every char
acteristic movement OF each indivi-
nual hurler.
| Outguessing the catcher is an
other feature of the Cobb method.
He studies catchers as carefully as
pitchers. He tries to figure what
they expect, and then does the op-
posite.
