A serious accident occurred at
Maliko this week. A team of horses

Brown, whose father is one of the

scared and started on mad run

ing the motives and objects of Cope
land, who had dared to open a dis
cussion touching stand-pat policies.
The stand -patters haunted the news,
paper offices, ready to supply
news items and inspired editori-
ais for publication. 1t is asserted
that they even labored with the
owners of a neutral daily, pleading
to have it also lined up against the
insurgents, but without success.
The object of all this calumny, vitu-
peration and abuse in the news
papers could have been nothing
else than to discredit Copeland and
his associates in the public estima-
tion and to disgust people generally
with the whole question, as well as
to divert attention from the main
issue, Politics, county control, the
color-line, personal ambition, graft,
etc., were all coniured up in lieu
of argument. Lying afiidavits were
sworn to. Copeland, born an
American, was accused by Wood. a
Canadian, of 'un-Americanism. "

Third-As to the cause of all this
hubbub: The Commissioners of
Public Instructions had requested
the supervising principals to CON

in the course of study with view
to its better adaptation to the needs
of the rural schools. There was
nothing radical or revolutionary in
this. Nobody hitherto has consid-
cred either Copeland or Wells capa-
BILE of inducing a body of conserva-
tive teachers to adopt radical poll
cies contrary to their best Judgment.
Nobody for a moment supposed
that Copeland, an obscure country
school teacher, possessed demagogic
powers of such a high order as to
enable him to water-buffalo, -

DR.. WeddiCk
Passes Away
Suddenly Stricken With Heart Failure.
He Never Rallies.

Early last Saturday morning Dr.
John Weddicl, one of the hest
known kamaainas ON Maui, was
stricken with heart failure, and be-
fore the doctors reached his side, he
was dead.
DR.. Weddick, was man with
a real old Irish heart. He knew no
enemies, and had none. His hand
clasp, was always that of a true
friend, and though at times forceful
in his language, when he thought a
wrong had been done, still he never
let anything affect that natural
warm feeling of fellowship which he
always maintained for all his fellow
men.
DIR. .Weddick stood high in his pro-
fession. He was born in Dublin in
1854, graduated from the King and
Queen college of physicians in 1874,
and also from the Royal College OF
Surgeons. DR.. Weddick was not
robust as young man, and was
Obliged to leave Ireland on account
of the rigors of the climate. He
came to the islands in 1886 as ships
doctor on one of the first immigrant
ships bringing Portuguese. Shortly
after he went to California, but soon
returned, and located at Waimea,
Oahu. In 1888 he moved to Laha-
ina, and received the appointment
of government physician of that
place. The Pioneer Mill Company
was then in the hands of w. G..
Horner q Sons. In 1896, he was
married to Winnifred M. Baldwin,
and one year later moved to Wal
luku, and has been here ever since.
DIR. Weddick was government ply
sician for the district of Wailuku at
the time of the outbreak of Bubonic
plague in Kahului. In recognition
of his heroic services at that time he
was presented with a gold watch
and chain by the grateful citizens.
He leaves a wife and one child
Winnifred Jane Weddick, who is in
school in Honolulu. He has two
sisters and four brothers living in
Ireland.
The funeral last Saturday was
from his late residence, and was
largely attended by people from all
parts of Maui, everyone of whom
had been his friend.

Baseball
Contests
Last Sunday We're Enjoyed By a Big
Crowd Of Fans.

If the crowds ut the ball games
for the past two Sundays show any
thing, it is that the people appre-
ciate the work of the promoters
in trying to give them first class
brand of ball The gameJ last Sun
day showed much improvement
over those of the opening day, and
both pitchers and fielders frightened
up wonderfully, nipping many
rally, before it got fairly started.
The first game was between the
Stars and the Camp Ones, the form
er winping by score of z to 3.
This score fairly indicates the rela-
tive strength of the two teams as
they played Sunday. The Camp
One pitcher, Ito, who started the
game, had nothing and he was hit
hard, much harder than the score
shows, and Martinez who relieved
him, was much better. With
George Cummings on the receiving
end, the Stars were greatly strength
ened, and with him catching, Bal
is hard to hit.
The second game between Paia
and the Japanese team was fairly
well played, though at times little
loose, but this is bound to be the
case in any game the Japanese are
in, as they are daring base runners,
continually aiming to draw throw.
Rocha pitched his usual consistent
game, but he could not stop the
japanese. and they scored in almost
every inning. Meyers pitched one
OF his good games, and when he
does that, he generally wins. One
OF the most notable features of his
pitching Sunday was his steadiness.
Heretofore he has inclined to Wild
ness. With his terrific speed he
keeps the batters well away from
the plate. The score in this game
was 8 to 3.
The games next Sunday will be
between the Kahuluis and the j. A.
G.. S and the Paias and the Stars.
We understand the Paia team has
signed all the school boys in Homo
lulu, irrespective of what part of
Maui they belong. This should not
be allowed, as boys living in Wal
luku should not play with the Paia
team. OF course in the case of
Lahaina, where there is no team
entered it is different. The teams
representing locality should have
first choice of players from that
locality, then if there are any who
do not care to play ON their home
team, they could be signed up by
outside teams. This doctrine will
be objected to by some but it will
be recognized as the best for the
league in the long run, and the best
for the sport in general.
Louis Soares has joined the Stars,
and was out on the coaching lines
in uniform last Sunday.

Will Cuba
Be Taken
Such a Possibility Would Be a Blow
To Hawaiian Sugar.

Local sugar men view with min
gled feelings the developments of
the pilikia in Cuba. In the light of
its immediate effect, vigorous re-
bellion just now might be profitable
to Hawaii financially, through the
curtailment of the big sugar crop
which the Cuban sugar men are
rushing to market, and which un-
doubtedly is influencing the price OF
the commodity.
However, over two-thirds of the
crop has already been harvested, so
a curtailment of the output at this
stage would probably not have u
very marked influence on prices.
On the other hand some of the
Hawaiian planters have been hav-
ing a cold sweat for fear the Cuban
turmoil spells annexation of the
West Indian republic by the United
States. There is a strong suspicion
that certain financial interests have
SO. part in the present trouble. OF
later years a larger and larger amount
Of American capital has been in
vested in Cuban sugar and other
agricultural enterprises. What is
more natural than that this capital
should speed any movement which
would tend to wipe out the 80 per
cent differential duty which Cuban
sugar now has to pay to get into the
the United States market? Cuba g
resources have been thus far only
slightly developed, and it is certain
that, with the duty removed, the
output of the island will enormously
increase almost at once. Such an
addition to the worlds sugar supply,
especially when it can get into the
United States without restriction, is
believed to be menance to all other
domestic sugar production, mas
much as Cuba can probably not only
produce sugar considerably cheaper
than Hawaii, but also has the ad-
vantage of a much lower freight
rate to market.
1t will be remembered that the
last time the United States was fore
+. ed to intervene in Cuba, the re-
public was warned that another
time would likely mean the perma-
nent occupation of the island by
American authority. Hence the un-
certainty and anxiety which the
present turmoil occasions.

The True InwardneSs Of the School
Question Discussed.


has ceased, and the dust that was
thrown so industriously into the
eyes of the public has settled, we
are in position to estimate the re-
cent school fight in Honolulu at it's
true value
First-As to the lineup of the
combatants: Of the stand-pat-
ters''-Pope, Wood, Gibson and
Baldwin-only the last two named
have ever had any experience as
teachers Of elementary schools in
Hawaii Pope is graduate Of the
Kansas Agricultural College. Wood
says he is graduate of Cornell.
Wood is credited with being the
power behind the throne, the others
merely marking time at his COM
mand. OF the insurgents" Davis,
Cox, Copeland, Taylor, Wells and
King are mostly college-bred men,
and all have had long experience in
schools here. OF those who balanced
so dextrously on the fence, Brodie,
Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Frasher, Miss
Miss Taylor and Miss Deyo are
teachers of reputation and expert
ence. The rest are mostly we'll
meaning young persons with no par
ticular claim to be called educators.
It does not appear that the stand
patters have any advantage over
the insurgents in education, expert
ence or professional ability, although
they make loud claims to be con-
sidered experts To an outsider
their frantic efforts to stifie discus
sion and to muzzle criticism are
pretty clear evidence of the inherent
weakness of their cause. 1t seems
to us, on the face of the situation,
that Woods much-vaunted course
of study must have been a pretty
rotten proposition when such rotten
tactics had to be resorted to in its
defense.
Second-As to the manner in
which the contest was carried on:
The meeting was called by Super
intendent Pope in accordance with
a resolution of the Commissioners
authorizing the supervising princi-
pals as such to meet and to discuss
and make recommendations regard
ing certain subjects distinctly speci-
fed. Wood, Pope and Gibson, not
one Of whom was a supervising
principal or had shadow of a right
to sit in the meeting, claimed men,
bership er o6fcio, and assumed en-
tire direction of the proceedings,
Pope occupying the chair, to which
he had been elected as a matter of
courtesy the year before, no one
supposing that he would insist up
on the craftsmanship as matter of
fright. The question as to his right
to preside coming to a tie vote, he
ruled in his own favor and there
after occupied the chair on the
strength of his own ruling-an al
most unprecedented action. Mrs.
Wilcox, a commissioner and a
staunch supporter of Pope, was also
present at every meeting, with pen
Gil and note book in hand to record
votes and to influence the weak
kneed. Under such circumstances
the proceedings could be little bet
ter than farce. One would ina
gine that the precautions taken to
gag the meeting would have been
amply sufficient to satisfy the stand
i patters But they were taking no
chances. Through Woods personal
organ and by means of hand d-outs"
to the independent press the most
outrageous falsehoods were circulat-
ed regarding the whole insurgent
movement and particularly regard
