He has been as adamant against the
efforts of the Democrats to mutilate
the civil service by legislation which
would cancel the employment of every
government employee at the end Of
seven years and thus necessitate a re-
sort to tn old and discredited pull"
He has compelled the legislative
branch of the government to observe
the constitutional provision for three
coordinate branches of the govern
ment, which 1t attempted to override
by an effort to legislate a general Of

He has sought by every possible
means to inCulCate in reCklessly eX-

His Stand For Commerce Court.
Congress. seeking only to inculcate
favor with the thoughtless, has seen fit
to attempt to abolish by legislative en-
actment the commerce court because
certain of it's decisions have been I'M
popular.
1t has wholly disregarded the all
important fact that 10y means of that
court the litigant has been enabled to
secure the adjudication of his claim
against the railroad in six months, in
stead of waiting two years, which was
the average time required to settle an
appeal to the circuit court before. the
commerce court was created. The ad-
vantage of such a reduction to every
shipper who has not unlimited means
at his disposal all must appreciate. as
also he must appreciate how li-tle, by
comparison, such delay inconvenience

seemed to gaze into the faces of those
before her to recognize their emotions

WOMEN WHQLEAD.

Women Of Hawaii Who aretbking the i1itias
tive in matters Of home and civic Improvement,
in social settlement work and in all that means
definite betterment and advance, will be inter
ested in the rapidly widening field Of feminine
activities on the mainland. For instance, the
women of Jersey City have come to the front
with an exhibit, given in conjunction with the
Board Of Health, at great civic display Know
Your City" The Women's Club maintained
booths showing pure and impure foods, and em-
Dhasized a lesson to thousands Of parents and
children who thronged the han. Jersey City
women have organized a strong campaign
against adulterated, dangerous food eoncoctions
Of ali kinds. In Red Rock, Kan, the Federation
of Women's Clubs has undertaken to give the
town puremilk supply, and physicians report
the mortality among infants decreased 40 per
cent. the first summer the women took the mat
ter ND. In a Pennsylvania town the women
looked about them and saw dangerous condi
ton in the hundreds Of young boys and girls on
the streets at all hours of.the day and night.
These publicEpirited women began system OF
free evening entertainments and free once-a-
week outings, and Immediately the juvenile
court and the police department reported "a
marked decrease in juvenile crime and misde
meanors. A Massachusetts, city is furnished
free concerts by singers and musicians of ma
fionaI reputation, the women's clubs having Sc
cured a permanent endowment for the purpose
One of Chicago's crowded wards has been
cleaned of much infamy by dozen women who
with the aid of fearless prosecutor, drove out
the sfa1nily entrance" dive and saw that the city
ordinances governing saloons were enforced.
The list might be multiplied indefinitely: The
activities of the women cover every phase OF
modern life, and more and more there are devel.
oping organizations devoted to nnseafish and
nnassuming work for the eommon good. Men
are apt to cater to expediency in getting at the
evils in social and industrial conditions, but
women drive straight to the point with single,
ness of purpose that is nothing less than inspir-
alton.

A reputation for high standard in music, in
literature, in art, would be as definite an asset
to Honolulu as a reputation for cleanliness and
hospitality. 1t would attract tourists to be well

powerfully in developing the citizenship of the

Melvin Vaniman has gone to his death as
many another aviator in the past few years has
gone-having dared little too far. Those pio-
neers of aviation, Wilbur and Orville Wright,
are often looked on with contempt by more sen
sational flyers. Neither went above ground for
money or fame, but to test some experiment in
mechanism that meant definite and practical
results Neither few when he could help it.
The Wrights have led the way in most of the
important aeroplane inventions of the past six
years, and one died in his bed, while the other
remains to carry on epoch-making experiments.
The inventor is not always the wild-eyed crank
of the popular fancy.
