Sim watson's stock OF wit was small,
But he let on he knew Il all:
He held his head UP mighty high:
The word he spoke the most was TT
He had large amount OF gall.
And never let a chance 20 by,
Whenever he was in crowd
To make his conversation loud.
You'd hear his voice above the rest.
He'd strut and he'd stick out his chest,
He never guessed he always KNEW;
Or. leastwise he pretended to;
He always seemed to worry lest
He might be hidden from the view;
When taller men than Sim were there
You'd see him standin' on a chair.
We all knew that his talk was gun,
That he was putin UP a blum.
And yet. somehow. we kind of got
To thinkin' that he knew a lot:
The Jokes he told were old and tough
Most of them tales that we'd forgot
But still we'd laugh at what he said,
And so his reputation spread.
Well. as see the case today,
Sim taught a lesson. anyway:
Your stock OF knowledge may be small,
But don't stand back against the wall
And listen to what others say,
Speak up and claim 10 know It all:
Most people will believe you do
The wiser ones are so mighty few.

TRAFFIC GUARDIAN.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: Forgive globe-trotter a few
remarks criticising one in authority

I refer to the police guarding the
traffic Of your streets in the business
part of town.
/ was standing on the corner of
Fort and King when two ladies in a
buggy crossed from the lower right
of King to the right Of Fort and in
so aoing cut corners. Immediately
the rein was almost jerked out of
the lady's band by the policeman on
guard. the horse sharply turned, the
wheels of the buggy interlocked so
that the vehicle was in grave danger
Of upsetting.
The police spoke some uninteliigible
Engling ending by shouting, mo do
dat! No do dat again"
! II all happened in a few moments,
the policeman pulling on the line OF
the frisky animal. as he with fine 60
show of authority spoke the, English
as "she sometimes is spoke"
I do not blame the man for stopping
the buggy but the manner in which he
did it, For he, in grabbing the line of
the horse away from the one who
held the reins might have brought
ON a. greater catastrophe than any
which he thought he was trying to

l had always heard that Hawaiians

BISHOP BRENT's VIEWS

The Right Rev. Charles Henry Brent, Bishop
of the Philippines and churchman noted for
wide experience, breadth of views and vigor of
utterances, holds quite different opinions ON the
Democratic attitude toward the Philippines
from those recently voiced here by Dean C. Wor-
cester.
Bishop Brent is visitor in Honolulu today.
He is on his way to his post after spending sew
eraI months in the United States, in the course
of which he several times found occasion to ex-
press the belief that Wilson's attitude toward
the Philippines is the right attitude. A re-
cent quotation in the Outlook and his statements
to interviewers since then show him in much
sympathy with the reorganization of the Philip
pine commission. This reorganization, he de;
clares, is wise and conservative method of car
rying out Democratic pledges to the Filipinos.
1t has the advantage of being an executive order
and thus may be revoked if unsuccessful. On
the other hand, had the matter come before Con-
gress, Bishop Brent believes that much discus
sion might have injured the cause and been a
source of disquietude to the Filipino people He
believes the present policy Of the administration
means real education for the Filipinos: He
says: I.l.t. .',..s 5 .l,:21
''The Filipinos have not reached point where
they can be trusted to govern themselves If they
should be given and the United States should
tell them to 20 ahead and sink swim, in q very
short time the islands would be In at least as bad a.
state as Mexico. Diaz can handle Mexico as die

asfew days ago, according to the Oak

gives the most detailed account or
the train robbery received here The

lick were robbed and then gees on
to say: ~ 49,. 49, -....,,-.I =
> "Dr. Clark was declared the hero Of
the affair. Coming in from the smok-

to throw up his hands. >=~...

drunk. Get away" The robber
pressed his pistol against Clark's
stomach. Throw up your hands be-
fore l count three" he ordered, "or
I'll let daylight into YOU"
GO on, shoot" said Clark.
The man then made pass at the
dentist with his revolver. Clark
backed away, attempting to draw the
robber after him q that the trainmen
might get behind him. The men,
however, remained seated, later de-
claring that they were afraid to make
trouble for fear the women might be
shot" -
Albert B. Clark Jr of the Bank of
Hawaii received letter from his IA
Their today, stating that he is well and
will remain about a month longer on
the coast He expresses the opinion
that the robber will not attempt to
cash the bank draft, payment on
which has been stopped here.
The Oakland Tribune says that DR..
Clark declared that the train crew
was too frightened to make any re-
sistance. 1t was only at the behests
of the trainmen and his fellow pas
sengers that DR.. Clark gave in and
yielded up some of his valuables to
the robber.

HURTING HONOLULU BUSINESS

Once again Uncle Sans inequitable handling
of trans Pacific mails has operated to the dis
advantage OF Honolulu and Honolulu merchants
and businessmen The .Matson liner Wilhelmi-
ma, leaving San Francisco an hour before the
Japanese liner Chiyo Maru, reached Honolulu
first, doeked first and should certainly have
brought the mails. But the Japanese liner, to
save the government few pennies, was given
the mails. The Japanese ship was favored over
the American ship-and this tayor1ng worked
today, as it has worked before, to the detrlment
of local interests and to the injury OF American
shipping.
The commercial bodies ought to take up this
matter in earnest. They have a right to protest.
So has every citizen of Honolulu.
