Sailing under sealed orders which ar
rived yesterday morning, the United
States cruiser West Virginia with Rear
Admiral Southerland on board started
shortly after five o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon on a mission which none but
her commanding officer knows. The OF.

proceed outside the harbor at two

anchorage at exactly five in the after
noon, and these orders were carried out
to the minute.
Her boats and launches followed the
cruiser out from the inner harbor and
were hoisted on board soon after she
came to anchor Waikiki of the en-

the time the cruiser backed away from
her dock until she came to anchor out

COMMITTEE HEAD
F(From Saturdays Advertiser,)


Leaving a balance of $4,000 in the
keeping of B. Won Damn, member of
the promotion committee, as temporary
Treasurer of the Floral Parade commit
tee, ID. p. R, Isenberg yesterday re-
signed as treasurer, as he leaves for
the mainland today in the Siberia to
remain three months. Mr.. 1senberg,
who is also acting chairman of the pro-
motion committee, yesterday rendered
his resignation as such, and is succeed
ed by Zeno K. Myers.
Mr.. Isenberg reported having met
with cordiality in his canvassing tour
of the business section of town for sub
;seriptions to the Floral Parade fund,
and after working the fund up to a
certain amount, found that the Pima
fore committee was also getting sub
scriptions through its program, and de-
cided that the two would make suf-
ificient total for all needs.
The committee decided to pay the
cost of reproducing the Floral Parade
posters and poster postals out of the
funds so collected, and there will be
plenty after such deductions to defray
all other expenses.
Secretary Wood showed business en-
Vel0pes of Dimond & Co., presented by
Emil Berndt, the manager, displaying
the circular stamp of the ''San Fran
cisco 1915 Exposition" and suggested
that the committee might endorse tn
same advertising to the business com
munity. The cuts are furnished by tn
San Francisco exposition committe
and the only expense to which tn
merchants would be put is for tn
printing here. The committee acte
favorably on this recommendation.

Although no definite information can
be gained from an authoritative source
as to the destination of the cruiser, It
was said that she would be back In
Honolulu in two weeks time and join
the other ships of the fleet staying here
until the latter part of April. This in
dicates, as predicted in The Advertiser,
that the cruiser is bound for Palmyra,
as the trip could be made down there
in three days each way. That distance
would enable the vessel to make the
cruise and come back within the time

SUGGESTED REFORMS IN OUR
TEXAS LAWS-NO. 3.


Our laws should provide for a central
tax board. with headquarters at Austin,
Texas, whose duty it would be to dis
tribute the burdens of the expenses of
government so that each community
MAY. In an honorable way, bear its pro
portiUnal share thereof.
1T has beer a source of much com
plant, and even of i'll -feeling. among the
citizens of Texas. almost since it became
a republic, to be compelled to submit to
the unjust and dishonorable practices of
tax dodgers who render. their private
properties at enthusiastically low values
fer the sole purpose of economising at
the expense of their just obligations to
the state. And the most reproachable
feature of this unjust robbery by the
tax dodgers has been that in those ON
munnities where lands were bought at
the cheapest prices there has been a de-
termined effort to render them at the
original purchase price, though the sur
rounding properties have enhanced
two houndred- fold.
A central board might readily send
out its inspectors and soon bring such
as the above under honest regulation.

STATE EDUCATION.

If any heritage is precious to the
American people, ii is that of our pub
lie school system and higher and tech
meal education. In some respects
Texas has excclled in value of methods
and support of schools, but in many
other ways the state is below the aver
age. according to a table issued by the
Conference for Education in Texas.

states.

MONEY AND THE POPULAR WILL

No great harm and probably much
good will be done by the long drawn
out inquiry concerning campaign funds
which is proceeding internationally at
Washington. Yesterday some Of the
secrets of Colonel Roosevclt's great pop
~ularity in Ohio we're revealed. A son
Of the late Mark Hanna. ID. X. Hanna,
admitted to- the committee that he alone
spent S127 900 to help the colonel in
Ohio last spring, not to speak OF an
extra $4,000 thousand which he put III
to help out elsewhere.
In PENNSYLVANIA William Finn tes-
titled that he put UP $13O,OO0 in the pre-
liminary campaign and altogether near
.ly a million dollars has been traced al
ready to have been spent to demonstrate
just how great was the colonel's popu-
larity and just how hopeless was the
candidacy of President raft.
Despite the efforts of well-meaning re-
formers to limit campaign expenses,
campaigns seem TO be getting more and
paratiyely little was spent in securing
delegates, the regular stale o%rganiza-
tons looking after such matters. But
direct primaries are really doubling ex-
penses and the new system has 50 far
been introduced in only about half the
states.
We believe it was Napoleon Bona
parte who remarked ctnically that the
Lord was usually to be round fighting
on the side of the heaviest batteries
Perhaps he would lave said in this day
that popular sentiment is always on the
side of the biggest campaign funds.
Theodore Roosevelt has never relied en-
tircly on his personal popularity to pro
duce results. Whether he knew the
sources of the big fund in 1904, it is
clear he was determined it should be
adequate for all needs.
We shall know rather more about the
respective strength of Taft and Roose-
welt before the Chicago convention when
the votes are counted next month than
we did on July 1 of tbs year.-Brooklyn

NEW GLORIES FOR TROPICAL
COUNTRIES.

Sanitation on the Isthmus of Panama,
according to James Ten Droeck Bowles.
the psychologist of the canal commits
sion, has converted a territory known
for several hundred years as the worst
kind of pest hole into Il delightful health
resort. Mr.. Bowlcs in the survey even
asserts that, in consequence, there is a
probability that the tropics will re-
sumo their place as the forcing beds of
human progress. This position was lost
because of the devastation of disease in
tropical countries. But now white men,
he says, may work in any part of the
tropics and maintain GOOD health.
The success OF the sanitary work of
Colonel Gorgas on the istinius is now
the American occupation, when yellow
fever began to attack the canal force.
many people looked upon the mosquito
theory as a failure. Not until adequate
water and sewer systems were installed
was yellow fever conquered. Mr..
Bowles declares that. Judging by the
alarm caused by the comparatively mild
epidemic in 1905, there is no doubt that
if the American force had had the same
amount of yellow fever that the French
had. the work of constructing the canal
would have been stopped on account of
of men.-The Surrey.

thing of a worry, more or less. He an
nounces hat he Will moi take any more
part in the campaign. He has to get his
message ready by the time congress

making campaign speeches.
What does it all mean? Is it the
calmness of a man who has the election
cinched, who has private and personal
information about the outcome of the
campaign-information that puts him
on easy street? Or is ii the apathetic
state of a man who has given up the
fight ana seeks distraction from the
pangs of fOreseen disaster by hammer
ing out on his typewritc a long, drcary
message ID congress?
1t would perhaps he a pointer for
political prophets if they were within

heavy, staccatO or andanie-it might be

hardly help. 1t might be incohercnt

The John b. Hood camp of Confed-

the text book ON United states history
recently adopted by the state text book
commission. If what they say about the
book is true they do well to protest. The
charge is made that the authors of this
book have been grossly unfair to the
South whenever it touches upon matters
concerning the South. For example, it
makes no mention either of General Joe
Wheeler or Fitzhugh Lee in its history
of the Spanish war. In dealing with
the civil wal it says nothing of the cap
ture of Galveston by Confederates in
1867, nor of the last battle Of the civil
war at Palmetto Ranch in 1865. This
must be regarded as something more
than a tempest-in-a-tea-pot The teach
ing of false history, or even of garbled
history, to the children is not to be re-
garded as a small matter. What we
want in a text book on history is the
truth. the whole truth. and nothing but
the truth.
