The many interesting discoveries made in
the drinking saloon include a complete ap-
paTatus for heating wine, water and every
sort Of drink. This may be seen quite clearly
in the photograph
The heating apparatus has lid con
veniently secured by a chain so that it could
not be lost OF thrown by one drinkeT at an
other Near the opening is a small pipe
through which the smoke from the fire es-
capped.
The report Of the Official archaeoIogist
states that water was found in the heating
apparatus and that it mus have been en-
closed there ever since the tine POmpeii was
destroyed, because none could have reached
there from outside This is rather difficult
to believe. II wine should be discovered in
any Of the Jugs it will be more easy to be
neve that the water was left over from
ancient times.
The drinking saloon was full Of objects
Of interest. The drinkers had evidently been
overwhelmed by the eruption as they lay
Supplied by their libations. The bodies OF
men and women were found in the place
cesses which held walls eXQuisitely painted
with curious designs. Portions Of the richly
embroidered tcgas Of the men and peplums
Of the women were still preserved
The fittings we're superb. Many Of the Jars
were made OF bronze and glass, a material
then novel and rare The cups were of gold
The money receptaCles were filed with a rich
harvest Ct golden aursi and silver sesteTces.
There was the winner who had persisted
as he was pouring out wine nineteen cen
turtles ago. Before him stood a row OF
great wine Jars.
1t is very significant that this luxurious

drinking saloon stood IN the heart Of the most
fashionable section Of POmpeiis Fifth ave
nue.. Il is only one of the many facts that
speak elOquently Of the moral degradation Of
this sensuOus and luxury-loving people. IN
doubttedly the fashionable matrOns of POmpeii
entered shamelessly into the gilded drinking
palace situated within sight Of their own
homes and imbibed cOpiOus draughtS Of Fal-
eTIian, Samian-or whatever their favorite
the Street of Abundance was shut OF by
chariots and other wheeled vehicles could not
pass through il. It was a cOrse such as
Naples possesses to-day There was ample
access to the palaces from the rear.
Apparently, the ancient POmpeians were
proud of what We should call depravity.
Games with dice and other games Of chance
are depicted thousands Of times on the walls
Even young girls played them! We find in
scriptions, recording the existence of power

Late Drinkers" The Society of the hide

Devotees Of Games Of Chance"
The drinking cups were often engraved
with skeletons and heshless heads for a re-
minder to jewellers Of both sexes reclining
at the banquet table to make the most of the
present moment. A huge drinking bowl was
inscribed:
'Ay this is life; and its naught but pleasure
Throw aside all caTei The life Of man is
so short! Bring wine at once and dancers
and crowns Of flowers, and women! Let US
enjoy to-day, for who can count on the NOR

WHITELAY REID.

The death of Ambassador White
law Reid removes one who in recent
years was thought of as man for
the drawing-room and parlor, whose
gracious manners and gift for after
dinner speaking gave him value
as the maintainer of friendly under
standing with Great Britain.
He was far more than that. Just
out of school in 1856, he began his
public career by making political
speeches in favor of the election OF
John C. Fremont He had intended to
be school-teacher, but feeling that
his sphere lay in another quarter he
took the step that made him a jour
nalist by editing paper in Nenla,
Ohio. The civil war gave him his
chance for national fame as a writ
err. His reports from the field were
distinguished for the accuracy with
which he told the stories of battles
and sieges. He is declared by a BIZ
ographer to have been the first man
to perceive the ability of Gen. Grant,
aad his exploits in writing correct
and comprehensive account of the
battle of Shiloh while under fire is
famed in the annals of war CORE
spondence. The blood of the Scotch
Covenanters which he inherited
from his father and of long line
of Highland chiefs upon his mothers
side may account for the courage he
displayed upon that occasion.
He acquired an interest in the
Cincinnati Gazette, but upon repeat
ed solicitations from Horace Greeley
he allied himself with The New York
Tribune Greeley had selected Reid
to succeed him as editor in chief and
the change was made when Greeley
became candidate for the presi-
dency. Reid inherited a great news
paper which was losing money, but
soon had a great newspaper which
was also profitable. His rise to fame
and fortune was due to his great
native ability and not to any place
or Inheritance his family could give
him. His career in England has
been one of almost uninterrupted
good will, and where there has been
friction it has not been his fault.
His position was one of the most
trying in all the list of presidential
appointments, for the standard set
by his predecessors represented the
best America had to offer in grace
of manner and power of mind. TO
maintain that standard as he did
was a distinct achievement.

BRYAN'S POSITION.

Mr.. Bryan in The Commoner ex-
presses his opinion on four import
ant issues as follows:
'First-Mr. Bryan does not ad-
vocate the retirement of outstand-
ing national bank currency, but he
opposes an enlargement of the privi-
leges now enjoyed by national banks,
and he believes that such emergency
as may be necessary should be is
sued by the government, and not by
the banks.
"Second-The comforting upon ex-
presidents of the right to participate
in debate in the senate and house
need not be accompanied by COM
pensation; in other words, the prlvl-
lege may be conferred as an honor
rather than as an Office.
"Third-The democrats in the
senate are right in insisting that i'm
portant appointments should be re-
served for the president-elect. This
is especially true when the ap-
pointees are to hold Office for life.
"Fourth-The democrats at Wash
ington are justified in condemning
the partisanship which leads the
president to extend the civil service
when the extension had no higher
purpose than the retention of repub-
lican appointees.

BILLIONS FOR PENSIONS.

Since June 80, 1902, when there
were 999,446 pensioners, the larg-
est number ever on the government
rolls, there has been steady de-
cline. At the end of the last fiscal
year, according to Secretary Fishers
report, there were S60,294, the
smallest number in twenty7one
lears.
But while the pension figures have
reached the lowest mark in two de-
cades. the amount expended for
pensions this year, owing to the gen
eral-service bill passed last spring,
will be the largest in the history OF
this country. Last year the govern
ment paid out about 1855, 900;
for this year the appropriation is
$164,5OO,O00, and Secretary Fisher
asks $20,500,000 more for 1914.
It is more than forty-seven years
since the close Of the civil war.
Probably no soldier Oh sailor VINO
served ninety days is now less than
sixty-two or is barred by reason OF
age from receiving the minimum
pension of SIS a month. In those
forty seven years the government
has disbursed for pensions S4,2S6,-
922,71J.65, and of the S60,294 pen
sioners on the rolls last June, nearly
40 per cent were widows and de-
pendents, the best possible answer
to politicians who for campaign pur-
poses pretend that the government
has treated the veterans in a mig
gardly manner.

WARNING THE PANIC MAKER.

President-elect Wilson's warning
to makers of panics came at the
right time and was delivered in the
right tone-the tone of man who
has given thoughtful consideration
to what he says, and means every
word of it.
Mr.. Wilson spoke of the frequent
predictions of panic when the demo-
cratic administration attacks tarlff
graft and trust lawlessness. He
stated-what everyone knows-that
few financial kings have the ma
chinery ready to start panic at any
moment. Then following his warn
ing:
Il don't think there is any man
living who dares use the machinery
for that purpose. If he does, | pro-
mise him-not for myself, but for
my w-countrymen-a gibbet as
high as Humans. Not a literal glib
bet, for that is not painful; but a
gibbet Of public disgrace which
would last as long as the members
Of that mans family survive
1t will be bold man who tries to
start a, panic with that warning be-
fore him.

bully presidents and override the
people are nearly done.-Chlcago

WOODROW WILSON RINGS TRUE.

3# Woodrow Wilson, some clever
commentator recently observed, has
been under the limelight for some
time, but he has yet TO go under the
X-ray. In other words we have seen
what he looks like but we have not
yet discovered what is in him.
But we are beginning to. His
decision that he would call special
session of congress to fulfill plat
form pledges gave us an inkling OF
the stuff he is made Of. On his re-
turn from Bermuda he talked very
frankly and plainly about the game
sters who are hoping to step back
into power in New Jersey when he
steps out---and what he said rang
true. 1t showed courage, fidelity
and resolution. 1t showed that the
same genuine-nOt sham-progres-
siveness that distinguished him dur
ing the campaign is still his after
he is elected.
And his speech before the South
ern Society in New York was such
as to make democrats feel like jump
ing up and knocking their heels to-
gether three times before alighting.
It showed the qualities Of an Andrew
Jackson democrat; 1t HaVOred
strongly of the memory Of the way
"Old Hickory" talked when he talk
ed to Nick Biddle In his history OF
the United States Woodrow Wilson
has shown that he thinks especially
highly of two great democrats
Jackson, and Grover Cleveland. His
Southern Society speech smacks
quite as much of Cleveland's sturdy
resolution as it does OF Jackson S
directness and dem ocratic simple
ity.
That the machinery for the crea-
ton of artificial panics exists Mr..
Wilson admitted. 1t is conceivable
that it may be used to intimidate
the government ana punish the peo-
pie for moving against special PRIV
ilege What he has to say about
it? Listen:
Frankly, i don't think there is
any man living who dares use the
machinery for that purpose. II ne
does, l promise him, not for myself
but for my fellow countrymen.
gibbet as high as Haman's.' Mr..
Wilson explained that he meant, not
a literal gibbet, but a gibbet of pub
lie disgrace, (which will live as long
as the members of that mans family
survive"
A democratic congressional COM
mittee has been eliciting the infor-
nation to justify the assumption on
which Mr.. Wilson flung down his
defiance The experience the repub-
lie was compelled to undergo during
the Roosevelt administration has
proved there are men ready to pre-
cipitate panic to further their own
ends. At that time they were not
gibbeted. They were honored in
stead as public saviors, and given
permission to violate the law and
crafty their rapacity if only they
would restore peace and confidence.
The progressiveness of Woodrow
Wilson, we are emboldened to be-
lieve, will be of different quality
from that of Theodore Roosevelt.
His courage will be of a finer tex
ture. His Americanism will be more
like that of Andrew Jackson. 1t IS
a long time until March 4, l9l7,
we know, and between now and then
much water will flow under the
bridge. But thus far, at least,
Woodrow Wilson rings true.-St.

NEW CHAIR INDUSTRY
STARTS IN HAWAII

The Outrigger club has given the
initial impetus to a new industry in
Hawaii Needing chairs for it's beach
and spacious lanais, the club got up
a design of a folding steamer chair
and sent the model to the Hawaiian
development lumber mills at Pahoa.
Yesterday two crates of the new
chairs made of native ohia arrived
These are the first steamer chairs
ever made of ohia, but already the
industry is started, for the Inter-Isl-
and officials seeing the new designs
have ordered two dozen Outrigser
ohia chairs for the steamer Mauna
Kea. I$#"l
one of the new chairs was placed
in the window of the Public Service
yesterday and attracted much atten-
ton, many stopping~to register or
ders for duplicates for use in their
lanais and on their lawns. The new
chairs of native wood are probably
the strongest chairs of their kind
ever put together-they are intended
to be kid" proof on the Outrigger

MISS BLASCOER
PLANS TO solve
LABOR PROBLEM
Soc;oIogiSt Would Educate the
Children on Plantations to
Do farm Work

Miss Francis Blascoer, who was
brought here two months ago at the
request of the trustees of the kaiulani
Home and since has instituted the So
cial survey, will leave for Waialua
and Waipahu next week where she
intends to make a study of living and
working conditions.
Miss Blascoer is personally over
seeing that part of the survey which
relates to the women and girls Of this
city and intends to make a thorough
investigation of the plantation living
and working conditions so as to gain
a thorough insight as to the mode of
living of the laborers.
While discussing her trip, Miss Bias
coer mentioned the rapidly growing
generation of children of the laborers
and said that the only solution of the
problem of what to do with these chill
dren, was to introduce system OF in
tensive cultivation on the plantations
and to teach these children the, essen
tials of truck and market gardening.
Miss Blascoer advocates the setting
aside of small portions of land on the
plantations to be turned over to the
new generation which would supply
the manual plantation labor. The
laborers would have their own little
plots of ground to cultivate and would
thus be accomplishing two objects;
supplying labor for the plantations at
the same time becoming small farm
ers themselves and eventually useful
members of the community.
This is the only solution to the
problem, according to Miss Blascoer
and must be applied sooner or later.
The hundreds and thousands of chill
dren growing up among us must be
found work and this is where it must
be given to them, she declares.
81 would advocate the turning over
of empty lots in the city to the school
children where they could learn truck
and market gardening. Then when
they grow old enough, they will un-
derstand farming and will be able to
both solve the labor problem and at
the same time have homes of their
own. ~
Instead of spending thousands of
dollars, importing 1aborers here, the
home product will have to be utilized
and if the planters do not do this
eventually they will be killing the
goose that lays the golden egg"
Miss Blascoer commented upon the
fact that the planters. at Wafluku
were using this method and that she
intended to submit her plan to the
| planters on Oahu.

he was shot at Milwaukee. He made
the journey by automobile and train
from oyster Bay. He announced that
he expected to hold a number of con-

future program of the Progressive
party, but later said that he had found
so much business accumulated for him
at The Outlook office that he would
have no time for any political confer
ences until next week.
However he said he expected calls
from a few personal friends during the
afternoon. He refused to make any
statement on the result of the election
saying he wanted full official returns
before he made any statement.
