NEW SENATOR IS HURRIED
INTO SEAT AND WORK GOES ON

Into the senate this morning came
James Frank Woods, of the first SEN
atorial district, elected successor of
the late Senator George G. Hewitt,
carrying his credentials of election
with him. A few minutes after he
crossed the threshold of the senate
chamber, he was given the seat made
vacant by the death of Senator Hew-
lit. There was a little ceremony OF
welcome and rustling around to
supply the new solon with the bills
before the body, and then the law
makers relapsed into the work of the
day. r.. T.: ...--. ~ q: +.
Though the work was resumed a
few minutes after the credentials
committee had reported and Senator
Woods had been escorted to his seat,
the coming of the new member was
not forgotten, nor was the powerful
position he holds, on at least one bill,
overlooked For a deadlock having
been reached yesterday on the reap
portionment bill, the votes being sew
en- to seven, Senator Woods now
holds the balance of power on this
measure and its passage or defeat
rests with him. -~e. !
And had not the motion of Senator
Makekau prevailed to- defer action on
the bill until this afternoon, the new
soIon would have been called upon TO
settle an issue which produced the
hottest fight of the session yesterday.
Whether he will go with the Oahu
delegation, as the latter says he will,
is question he has not yet solved, so
he said this morning. AS the bill has
a Democratic color, the Oahu Demo
Gratis asserted this morning that he
was their man.
Senator Woods already likes his job,
though perhaps the settling of the re-
apportionment issue is trifle too Sc
we're an initiation. He worked through
the last half of the morning session
like one to the manner born, and he
left the senate a few minutes before
noon, smiling and confident
Soon after the senate convened at
10 o'clock, Senator Coke announced
the arrival of the new ;awmaker, and
upon the formers motion President
Knudsen appointed a credentials COM
nittee, composed of Senators Judd,
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-04-24

and the definite decision of the COM
mittee, as soon as reached, will be
announced. As Doctor Mott is per-
haps the most distinguished man in
Christian work in America today, a
number of the local business men,
ministers and church workers will
wish to meet him during his brief
stay in the city. AT eleven o'clock on
the morning of his arrival, meeting
will be held in Cooke Hall, Young
Mems Christian Association building.
at which time all men and women of
the city who are interested in any
form of religious and social work will
be given an opportunity to, hear the
visitor speak. A series of conferences
and interviews are to be arranged in
order that the local Christian organi-
cations may get the largest possible
benefit from DR.. Motifs visit.
Besides himself, the other members
of DR.. Motifs party are Galen NJ. Fish
er, national secretary of the Y. M. c..
A. of Japan: F. S. Brockman, national
secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of China;
and G. Sherwood Eddy. national sec
retary of the Y. M. c. A. of Asia.

we regret these crimes, we have no
mandate under human or divine law
to step in to avert such infamies

upon Americans IS such, nor upon
Englishmen, Germans or other for
eigners in Mexico. On the other
hand, an invasion of Mexico by us
would make every one of our tens of
thousands of citizens there, as well
as other foreigners. a target for as

be powerless to reach. The Taft ad-

for our relations with Mexico, has
managed affairs with courage and
intelligence, and it must prevent any

RURAL SCHOOL NEEDS.

The Russell Sage Foundations
comparative investigation of public
school standing is spurring individ-
ual states to improve their rural
schools. In Missouri, one Of the
states whose standing was called low
by the Sage inquiry, the legislature
is struggling with group of meas
ures designed to place the state on
a higher ground educationally. Aid
to rural schools is prominent fea-
ture in these measures.
Missouri is not the only state in
which this problem is still far from
being solved.
Consolidation of rural schools and
transportation of outlying children
to central buildings is bringing up a
race of youngsters who are too lux
urious to walk mile to the school
room. Still on the whole it has been
a progressive measure. The old un-
graded district school" expected a
young person receiving IS week to
show a range of intellect comparable
to a college professor,
The one great fault or rural schools
today is inability to pay a living
wage to teachers. The fledgling

Sunshine, One of Gods Greatest
Gifts, is Still Free.

ohAH, 10 Gum hhNNs
The golden sunshine is a gift Of
the Almighty which the greed of
man has succeeded in cornering only
in spots. Go out and revel in it
while you can. Let it's healing,
soothing, cleansing grace surround
and bless you. 1t is free.
Coal, which is stored sunshine,
which was meant to serve all, as the
sunlight serves all, has been cor
nered, and the greed of few marks
up its price every time it can find
pretext. One Of the last anthra-
cite strike the mine workers, the
United States Bureau of Labor tells
us, got $4,OOO,OOO added to their
scant wages in a year, but the coal
barons marked up $13,45O,000 as
their surtax upon the people.
Oil has been cornered, and salt
and the metallic ores. The pirates
are even trying t5 corner the flow
ing streams for water power to make
the merciless white coal" trust of
the future.
Bun sunshine, thank heaven, is
still open to all, except in cities that
| permit it to be curtained eff by
needless, wasteful, unhealthy SCOT
from filthy chimneys. The other
day, in Pittsburgh. the doctors took
a pint of SCOT out of the lungs of a
poor fellow who was suffocated to
make a few millonaires richer.
Neither Pittsburgh nor any other
city needs to have the lungs of its
people poisoned or their homes and
workshops defiled by a smoke nuis-
ance. 1t is wholly possible to cleanse
the chimney's output. But we have
been fooled into believing that the
first concern OF government it tC
make greater wealth for a few al
the top. We've been letting the dol
lars of the rich outweigh the com
fort, the health, the lives of the
many.
Go out into the glorious sunshine
and as you drink it in, think how
much more beautiful, how mucf
more wholesome, how much better
fitted to make the majority of per
sons happy our country would be il
all the great gifts of nature were
freed of the clutches of greed anC
administered as trusts for all thu
people.

THE TELEPHONE TRUST.

Elsewhere in this issue is a news
telegram concerning an action
brought in the state of Washington,
against the Pacific Telegraph & Tel
ephone Company and the Sunset Tel
egraph & Telephone Company, alleg-
ing that they constitute a trust and
have driven the independent COM
panies out of business
The writer has no knowledge of
the merits of the case or of the SER
vice rendered by the defendant COM
panies, but he does know that so far
as local service is concerned the es-
tablishment of second exchange in
any city is curse to all concerned.
1t means that the business man must
have two phones, aud even If he got
the two for the former price of one
it is more bother To the person
having but one phone the existence
of second exchange is a source OF
constant annoyance. Only too often
the party wanted has the other line
and it seems always as if the man
who wanted to get you on the line
went to the other phone AMI you had
to he summoned to a neiehbor's tc
talk to him.
When there was a second exchange
in Ashland for a few months, ever
by giving their phones free the!
were unable to work up a decen
sized exchange. Business men al
most unanimously refused to put il
the second phones at any price or q
no price.
Just the best solution of the tele
phone question is 4 hard proposition
but i. would seem to be in one sys
tenn in a place and that under thor
ough state or government control
A competing system is not to tn
benefit of the public and only cause
aggravation and extra expense.

HALF A LOAF OR NO BREAD.

The passage of the minimum wage
law for women by the recent Oregon
legislature is bringing result far
from what its advocates expected
would be the case. Instead of caus
ing an increase in the wages earned
by girls in the Portland stores, the
owners, being compelled to pay high
er wages, are notifying them that
their services are net wanted and
are replacing them with men. The
number of women TO become idle in
Portland in the next few months is
causing extreme concern among the
societies who are looking after the
welfare of the girls.
In this state the minimum wage
is to be fixed by a commission, and
the time and the amount are, both
uncertain, but business men, to judge
by the Portland papers, are taking
time by the forelock.
The societies and philanthropists
unite in saying that there is plenty
of demand for girls for domestic SER
vice in private families, but that it
has heretofore been impossible to get
girls to do housework. If the in
vestigations and agitations for a
minimum wage result in causing a
return to housework of many of the
girls now in stores and shops, it will
prove a blessing in disguise. The
girl who earns five dollars a week
and a home at domestic service is
far better off and safer than the gir
who earns $S or even $12 at work
in a store.
However, they may many of then
feel that a half a loaf is better thai
no bread, and that they would rath
er things had remained where the
were than that the state had steppe,
in and put stop to existing condi
tions.
1t has been said that girls vii
not work out because they are no
always permitted to eat at the tabl
with the family. There ought to b
no more feeling of degradation be
cause girl has to wait so as
serve the family, than where she ha
to wait at the store until the pre-
prietor or another clerk has returne
from dinner or lunch before goin
to hers.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
''FOr of Such is the Kingdom OF
Heaven"

hC0hChs
Not long ago in a Kentucky city
teacher reported to the mothers
club in connection with her school
that one little boy never went home
for lunch at the noon recess hour.
She thought he was hungry, and
this, perhaps, accounted for his bad
marks and his naughty behavior.
She thought, perhpas, it would be
good thing for the club to see that
the boy got some inexpensive lunch
every day.
The club duly investigated and
made the formal report that it had
looked into the matter and found
the case-not worthy! AS a result,
the little boy continues to go with
out his lunch.
He may have bad mother or
father. They may be drunkards or
wasters. They may be unworthy.
So, as a result of the clubs human
justice, the boy suffers.
Think of it, All the other little
boys and girls go to some sort of
home where they are welcome. 1t
may be a poor place, but it is light
ed and warmed with mothers love.
The little lunch may be very meager,
but it is the best theparents can give
their darling.
And the unworthy" little boy is
deprived of all this. With stomach
| crying for food, with a little, wild
beating heart yearhing for some hui
man interest and affection, with a
young brain seething with revolt at
the early cruelties of this world, is it
any wonder that the child is lax in
his Studies, rebeliious towards his
| teachers?
And all because the cold, scientific
investigators found the case 'un-
worthy'
That's charity for you. That's
brotherly love in y community which
processes a belief in the sublime
words of the great Teacher who said
that little children should be suf,
fered to come unto Him because ''oi
such was the kingdom of heaven"

of the Sphinx, which has puzzled the

According to an article published

Reisner, Harvard Psychologist, has
removed the accumulated sand from
the interior of the Sphinx's head and
has gained entrance to temple 120
feet long which runs the entire
length of the lion body This tenn
pie, the explorers believe, forms the
tomb of Menes, the first Pharaoh,
and is supposed to contain his mumi

Besides the great central temple,

been explored, but it is believed they
will be found to lead to subter-
