PRIVILEGE DIES HARD.
Despite Manhood Suffrage the House
of Lords Endures.
FROM the Cbleago Jolrual.

From the Chicago Journal.
There is an old rhyme which aims to
cheer the world by assuring IL that:
Truth crushed 10 earth Will rise again,
The eternal years OF God are hers:
But error. wounded VIRTUES IN pain
and dies amid his worshipers.
1t is very pretty. but il is barely half
true Truth crushed TO earth will rise
again-and so will error. On many occa-
sions error has been known TO make the
faster recovery.
John Bright. one of the sanest and
sturdiest champions of democracy that
ever lived, believed the power OF the Brit
ish oigarchy would be broken forever by
enarging the suffrage. He felt that the
lords only dared defy the viii Of the ma
ton because the nation was tied. and
that if the English people We're set free
from their bonds. and given vote, they
would teach the house of lords to sit
up. speak. roll over and jump through
a hoop.
In theory, manhood suffrage is not es-
tablished in England even yet In p.ac-
tce, such suffrage has prevailed there
for years. The nation has run tilt after
tilt against the privileges of the old
arstocracy. and in every case where the
battle has been decided democracy has
won. Yet only the other day the lords
turned stubbornly, at bay, and rejected
the bill abolishing plural voting.
Human error is a stubborn, persistent.
enduring thing. and no form OF error is
so hard to kill as that which embodies
aristocratic privilege. England viii gain
manhood suffrage. then she will gain
garchy will find some favor TO fight for.
some means of thwarting, for time at
least the will of the people Privilege
dies hard

Apple Crop Is Short.
Commission merchants in Richmond
say thai the apple crop this year is the
shortest for long time. Apples OF
medium qualify are selling for 81 per
barrel and they are none too plentiful
at that figure. II was thought some
months ago that the crop would be a
good one. but series OF storms blew

The crowds did not measure up to the
former occasions by several thousands.
According to Deputy Sheriff p. III.

Iamm and the father of Davis had some

not been on good terms. They met on the

the quarrel was renewed while all were

Bowels by morning.

Turn. the rascals out - the head
ache, the biliousness. the indiges-
ton, the sick, sour stomach and foul
gases-turn them out tonight and
keep them out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day OF dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and reg
ulate your stomach; remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and
that misery-making gas; take the ex-
cess bile from your liver and carry
out of the system all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the intes-
tines and bowels. Then you will feel
great
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 10-cent box
from any drug store means clear
head, sweet stomach and clean,
healthy liver and bowel action for
months. Children love to take Cas-
carets because they taste good =
never grippe or sicken.-advertisement.

WAILUKU SCHOOL

A Big SUCCESS

T WAILUKU, Maui, May 12-The
moss successful school entertainment
given on Maui in years was that OF
last Friday evening at the town hail.
The teachers and pupils of the Wal
luku public school got UP the affair
Ter the benefit of additional school
equipment. Just how much money
was realized is not known yet, but it
is safe to say that few attempts of the
kind on Maui have netted any larger
sum. The program alone with its
large number of paid advertisements
brought in neat sum. The principal
of the school, Miss Ida Orchard with
the teachers, Herbert A. Wade, Car
RE E. Short, Mrs. Cora B. Copeland,

Soper, drilled the children, all of
whom took their parts admirably.
The browning of the Queen of the
May, of course, was the scene looked
forward to with anticipation by both
pupils and audience. Miss Ilene
Walsh, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. ]. Walsh of Kahului, was an excep-
tionally pretty May Queen and took
her part well. The parasol dance and
lantern drill by the Japanese girls of
the school created great deal of ia

CLASSY BILL
AT THE BIJOU

CLASSY acts that are seldom seen
in popular priced vaudeville houses
on the mainland and a rarity here,
figured conspicuously in the pleas
ing and varied L.Ogram presented
at the Bijou theater beginning with
last night.
Two thousand people first smiled.
:hen modestly giggled. only TO follow
with the plain garden variety OF
laughter. which later broke out into
an almost continuous roar OF merri-
ment, as Billy Reeves. an eccentric
comedian. silent as TO speech, stepped
before the footlights and began q
turn that for twenty minutes was
simply a scream.
Three of the acts offered Bijou
patrons this week are from the big
time" on the mainland.
Bert Wiggin, differing from all
others along the line Of candy Jug
gler, lightning cartoonist and song
and dance artist. has an act that is
about the best Of its kind ever seen
here. There is certain amount Of
originality about Wiggin as he goes
through performance that Is much
to the good.

a five-year-old native daughter" that
kept the packed auditorium on the
qui vie as to what was going to
happen next In Alice Teddy, the
most wonderful bear that ever visited
the Paradise of the Pacific made her
initial bow last evening. Alice Teddy
comes to Honolulu direct from a
mainland tour where a regular
weekly stipend of one thousand dol
lars was freely paid. Miss Alice
while showing little appreciation for
the value of money, nevertheless has

of the business. Three people &C

bear proved wonder. her eyolutions
putting to shame many a proficient
performer on the waxed floor.
Billy Reeves fairly took the ma
tives off their feet in making his
debut before a house packed to suf-
location. In the role Of the original
drunk" he was assisted In keeping
the fun at fever heat by host of
mechanical devices. embodying ap-
planes familiar in the latest and
best pantomine. While Reeves Is at.
tempting to extricate himself from
troubles. the spectators simply held
their sides. Billy Reeves will play
but short season here, before re-
ceeding to the Continent, where he is
under contract for a long term OF
months. Reeves Is rated as one OF
the highest priced men in the bust
ness today. When 1t comes to origi.
nality and novelty. his act as pre-.
sented last night, filled the highest
