Henry Mehaoiu, all aged Hawaiian
in the employ of the city and county,
was stricken with heart failure at
quarter before eight o'clock this morn.
ing while working on Beretania ave
nue. between Makiki and Punahou
streets, dying a few moments later.
According to the story told by MS
fellow workmen. Mehaolu came to
work as usual this morning laughing
end talking with the men and seemed
TO be in good spirits. He and another
workman were engaged in shoveling
dirt into a wagon, when Mehao;u was
heard. to suddenly cry out. He stood
upright for a moment and then fell
forward on his face. The workmeE
rushed to his side and by the time they
had taken him over to the curb and
laid him on thes grass, he was dead.
The workmen say that as they were
carrying him over to the curb, he
pressed his hand to his heart and
nuttered "auwe." His body was re-
moved by the police ambulance shortly
after eight o'clock He has been in
the employ of the county for long
time. He is survived by wife anc

to point out one of these cases. ......=~
J. Williams, the veteran photographer, has
a set of pictures of Hawaiian monaIrhs, twenty.
six in number, together with some $50 negatives
and prints. The whole constitutes a collection
that literally cannot be duplicated. 1t is not a
matter of money Mr. Williams has in several
casds the only pictures eXtant of certain Hawaii,
an inOnarchs. .E.~
Within the past year private galleries have
sought to purchase from him the entire collec-
ton. This paper is informed that from Wiscon-
sin there came handsome offer but that the
photographer prefers to give the territory of Ha-
waii first chance. He believes rightly that .the
pictures ought to be of more value to Hawaii
than to any other county, state or city.
There will be bill introduced in the legsla-
ture appropriating something like $4,000 to puI-
chase the pictures. This paper does not know
whether the price is an adequate one or not; GER
tainly it does not seem unfair Mr. Williams be-
ieves he could get quite as much elsewhere, and
he has spent several thousand dollars in making
the collection and paying insurance upon his
priceless possessions. The legislature ought to
make an effort to keep the collection in Hawaii,
to hang either in the capitol or in some of the
schools A committee should secure some expert
advice the value of the portraits and draft it's
appropriation bill accordingly. This is an APP
preparation that will serve public interest while
repaying an individual for private efforts.

"RATIONAl TARIFF REVISION"

"Rational tariff revision is handled in an
interesting and forceful way by Amos K. Fiske,
the noted economist, in the February issue of
the North American Review Some of Mr..
Fishes utterances on the subject are acute. He
Says:
Notwithstanding all the confusion wrought
Iby agitation over other progressive" issues,
ranging from moderate to extreme radical pro-
posals, and the unwonted and undemocratic de-
votion to the personal claims of candidates, the
Question of tariff revision became an influential
factor in the last election. The question was
more nearly ripe for rational decision than at
any time in fifty years. All parties were ready
to acknowledge the abuses that have grown up
under the tariff during that period and the need
Iof remedy
The problem is one of today and not of gen
Grafton ago or generation to come and it's So
luton must have due regard to existing condi-
tions. The contest is along the line of the old
division between fundamental policy of a tar
iff for revenue only and tariff with protection
Iof American industries against foreign compe-
tition as a primary object
The question is what should and can be done
in sensible and. practical way in the revision
of the tariff. There will be wide difference of
IopiniOn between those who still cherish the be-
lief that there is advantage to the people of the
country in maintaining industries on a basis of
artificial cost and high prices, by shielding their
products from competition with foreign prod
ucts of the same kind in the home market and
those who believe this policy to be disadvan-
tage. With the former, so far as they have no
personal interest to serve, it will be difficult to
undo the teaching of two or three generations.
So far as they have such interest and are hon
Iestly convinced that what benefits them is gem
eral benefit, they cannot be persuaded. For the
people as whole it would be a substantial adj
vantage to adjust the tariff upon a basis which
would yield the needed revenue at the least cost
for collection, with the least interference with
the natural course of industry and trade in the
country, and with the smallest restriction upon
commerce with other nations.

A GOOD DECISION

Director-general Charles L. Chillingworth's
ecision not to reserve auto locations on Alex
der Field for the Floral Parade review tomor-
is to be heartily commended.
Past Floral Parade committees have had a
ID deal of trouble with this matter. There is
pom for only fifty autos in the parking section
'Ibove the field and there are 100 autos in Ho-
1olulu. Each year the demand for one of those
fifty locations has been increasing, and each year
the autoists who are unluckily too late to get
tickets feel that there is discrimination against
them
Director Chillngworth announces that no
cars will be allowed on the field, that the space
formerly occupied by cars will be used to furnish
additional standing and seating facilities for
SPECTATORS, and that the entire field is now to be
brown open to the general public, no admission
fee being charged. Autos may be parked in Pu-
nahou grounds or outside the Manoa entrance to
the field from both of which places it is less than
n minutes walk to the field itself
There will be some criticism of the director
General from auto-owners who feel that they
should be favored, but considering the general
public, the decision is mighty good one. With
pace for fifty machines only, no plan for giving
every auto-owner an equal chance at locations
could be evolved, and it is far better to keep all
he cars outside and give the general public
he thousands of people who have no autos-the
best possible chance to see the afternoon review.

A LAST WORD

A last word OH decorations If IIonoluu's
residences all bore the national cOlors, what a
dlfference in the appearance of the city for the
floral Parade! Every flag that goes up means
one mere effort to help make the carnival a sue
'fess. Officials and committees cannot do it all.
They need the help of a strong public spirit
Anda last word on decorated autos also. 1t
1s not too late now to bedeck your car in flags
and enter it in the parade. 1t may not take a
prize, it may not be as deliberately designed as
some of the entries but its presence in the pro-
'cession will show that you are doing your part.

HONOLULU WOMAN

Ny mother was good housewife,
She gave us all her life;
The baby was a darling dear
And never shed a tear.
Our Bobby was model lad
And made his teacher glad.
Our home was CHEEKY all the day,
For mother liked our play.
But suffragette got mothers ear
And stuffed it full of fear
That life is not daily song
And women's votes must right the
wrong.
Then mother joined suffrage club
That shouted freedom from the tub,
And often went away from home
And left us kids to roam.
Now daddy is patient man
And never raised the sand.
He helped us kids to fix the grub
And bathed the baby in the tub.
But while he was down town at work
From duty we did shirk;
We never thought of aught but play
And let poor baby squall all day.
The house became a sight to see;
We called it our menagerie.
Now daddy is no slick fur coat,
But such things got his goat.
He says when he comes home at dark,
IF mother will not quit this lark
I'll have to quit my job IL
And care for you and Bob" H.. =.
Then off he went to lawyer bold
And all things to him told ~
=" Now two it takes home to make,
And neither can his duty shake;
One down town must work all day,
One at home must surely stay.

She may earn or she may bake. -.

He worked at home from morn till

FIRST AID CAR
TO CARRY GAS
ANDOIL

This is certainly automobile week
in Honolulu. With the big automobile
parade on Washington's birthday
every year, interest naturally centers
in the automobiles themselves, and
the showing which the different ma
chimes make. 1t is great oppor-
tunity for the general public to get a
general idea of the different makes
and styles of cars, and also to see the
ease with which most of the cars are
handled. III y -.
Automobile dealers have of course a
vital interest in this wonderful page
ant of cars, and it is well known
fact that the dealers in Honolulu are
always ready and willing to contribute
literally towards the success of the
Floral Parade. .aa..' Ill
The Hawaiian Islands are of course
too far from the mainland to ever
have an automobile show, such as is
held in all the big cities on the main
land each year, but the Floral Parade
has taken the place of these shows,
inasmuch as the biggest and best
types of cars, as well as some of the
CdlO OiL
and the course taken by the parade
is long enough to permit of a splendid
opportunity to compare the various
automobiles.
One of the many contributions
which the Won Hamm- Young Co. will
make this year will be the donation
of one of their Model 40 Buick cars
to be used as First Aid" car. Dur
ing previous Floral Parades there
have been slight accidents and fire.

will be in charge of Mr.. Frank
Shaner, the foreman of the Won
Hamm- Young Co. garage will be
driven VI. and down the course of
the parade, ready Ito render any as

DEEPER THAN MERRYMAKING

The Floral Parades with which Hawaii makes
merry each year are not all done in the spirit of
carnival. The occasion is patriotic one the
birthday of the Father of His Country, and Ha.
wallis wonderfully cosmopolitan population COM
Inemorates nations milestone quite as much as
d territory's chief holiday.
The participation of the military is feature
of unusual interest and significance. More than
three thousand men will be in line tomorrow
morning, marching to the stirring music that has
kept time to martial feet on many national
birthday and in many country and cline. 1t is
gratifying to a very unusual degree that one is
able to record complete harmony and coopera
ton between the military authorities and the
Floral Parade officials.
Tomorrow morning many hundreds of Homo
1nlus school children will salute the flag that is
their flag, whether they are of Hawaiian, Chr
nese. Japanese, Portuguese, Filipino, British
FRENCH Spanish Od,-whether their ancestors
landed with the Pilgrim Fathers on a 'stern and
rock-bound coast" seven thousand miles to the
eastward, or whether their ancestors toiled OLD
-sscnrely in the titled fields of the Orient. The
flao of the United States is now their flag; its
colors are bright and untarnished for them;' its
souarantee of freedom is guarantee of their free
dom.
To the true American the significance OF
Washington's birthday does not grow old. And
here in Hawaii the emphasis on gayety and mer
ry1naking does not detract from the deep and
glowing pride of country that is the American
pride
