WHY HE ATTENDS
CHURCH

1t is said that Hon. Claude Weav-
er,one of 0klahoma's congressman,
attends church regularly in Wash
ington, or wherever he may hap
pen to be on Sunday, and he re-
cites the following impressions
gained from this church-going
habit:
tits sweet, on summers morn,
when the air is aquiver with the
love songs of birds, and fragrant
with the odor of roses blown, to
hear the music of the ehurch-go.

wearied to enter Gods Temple and

peace there, that peace which De-
Quincy described as a resting from
human labors, Sabbath of repose

uproar of life, as if the tumult and
fever of strife were suspended, as
if there brooded over me a dove

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT

The entrance of death into a
lodge room is not heralded by a
knock at its outer portals. The
Grim Reaper goes unchallenged by
the watchful tyler; the emblematic
lambskin has no place in his habil-
aments; the Worshipful Master is
given no word or sign of his affili-
ations, yet the invasion is none the
less sure, and at his hand must we
all meet on a common level for the
consignment to the grave, but with
a promise that we shall be raised
to full fellowship in the supreme
lodge of our Infinite Master if our
conduct here has been circumscrib-
ed by the compass of his teachings
and our actions squared by His
own example in the flesh.
Our lodge has again been enter
ed by the Angel of Death, and its
doors have closed forever on all
that was mortal of our beloved
brother, E.J.Magness, who depart
ed this life September 10. There
fore be it
Resolved, That in the death of
Brother Magness, Newark Lodge
No. 24S, F. & A. NJ, loses one of
its most beloved members, the
community at large an upright
and honorable man of the very
highest type of citizenship. Be it
Resolved, That we extend to
his family in their sad bereave-
ment our deepest sympathy and
love. Be it further
Resolved, That in respect to his
memory, a memorial page be set
apart in the records of the lodge
and these resolutions spread there
on, a copy of same furnished the
family and one to the papers for
publication.

The state department of educa-
ton reports that the average
length of school term in Arkansas
for the year ending June 80, was
127 days. This is an increase of
ten days over the preceding year,
and is the greatest gain in the his
tory of the state. Arkansas is max
ing rapid progress along all lines,
and it is gratifying to know that
the schools are keeping pace with
all other interests in the march of
progress.

There are now more than 1900
students enrolled in the four agri-
cultural schools in Arkansas. These
schools are doing good work for
the farmers, and if the Farmers
Union never did another thing, it
is entitled to the lasting gratitude
of every farmer for having started
the agitation and kept up the
fight for the establishment of these
schools until they were secured.

KAPIOLARI PARKS POSSIBILITIES

The new superintendent of Kapiolani park,
Mr.. Bertram g. Rivenburgh, will 60 long way
toward redeeming the position from its present
political-plum status if he will carry out the
plans announced yesterday. These plans include
development of the polo field, baseball field
and number of tennis courts, and Superintend-
ent Rivenburgh says that he will be able to make
most if not all of the improvements out of IT,,
present $3.50 monthly appropriation.
We should like to see these progressive ideas
carried out at Kapiolani. For long time the
park has been kept in careless and inefficient
manner. 1t has been of comparatively little pub
lie service, and public park that is not of dis
tinct public service is not worth having
Chicago's public park system has been deyel-
oped with the idea steadily in mind of providing
recreation facilities for the people of the city.
The beautiful boulevards of Kansas City and Sc
attic perform their function of furnishing rides,
drives and walks to thousands upon thousands.
The mingling Of nature and art IN San Francis
cos Golden Gate park is a delight forever. Ka-
piolani, even ifson small scale, can be made to
provide the playground, the boulevard, the shady
spot for picnics.
The modern idea of city. park is not only to
provide facilities for such games as baseball and
tennis, but to organize the amusements on the
fields. This idea has been carried. further in
jackson and Washington parks in Chicago than
in any other public playground of which we are
aware In connection with the municipal bath
houses and the beach, Kapiolanis service to the
people may be developed many hundred per cent
Success to the Rivenburgh plans!

STATESMAN FERN

Mayor Fern, chief executive of the city and
county of Honolulu, has indicated himself.
The greatest state problem that has arisen
since Fern was carried into office on the crest
81 a wave of votes by the Peepul has been tri-
umphantly solved by His Honor.
Bereft Of his powers and privileges, his au-
ihority and his prerogatiyes, by the Legislature,
by decisions of the city attorney and by ordi-
nance, Mayor Fern has still Rugged to his bosom
something as dear to him as honor-a and almost
as dear as emolument-the right to direct the
activities of the county band That right re-
manned when he was shorn of his veto power, his
appointive power and few other powers.
There arose dispute, says the mayors Sec
retary, between the hotels of Honolulu regard
ing the services Of the band Each hotel wanted
band-concert on the night when the moon was
full Failing to get their wants, the hotels
raised a lusty voice in protest The mayors Of
flee was upset by the disturbance The calm that
brooded over the city haif Mas gone
Did His Honor, facing this crisis Of state, hes
tate falter or temporize? Not he. His decision
was made with the sure celebrity that marks the
true statesman Since all Of the hotels could not:
have the band, there was but one way to settle

Some craftsmanship, Ell?
We would not presume to criticise this mas
terly stroke by which the mayor has successfully
deprived the tourist resorts of band music. How,
ever, possibly the mayor overlooked solution

did he not order more full moons?

three vessels entered, the largest number since
1904. The tonnage was the largest yet recorded,
1,5S2, 255. This discrepancy, compared with the
1904 figures is due to the fact that in the early

The American Economist comments
in part as follows.
There is wide divergence of opin-
ion as to the effects of the different
schedules. This divergence is not
wholly a matter of party politics.
Strong opposition is expressed in
states represented In congress by
Democrats as we'll as in states rep
resented by Republicans or Progress
sives.
This being the case, why not sub
NIT the bill to a referendum in all
OF the states at the congress election
of 1914?
"Why not postpone final action on
the bill until such an expression can
be secured?
This plan is contemplated in the
substitute offered by. Senator Calm
ger of New Hampshire, in the senate
on the 18th of July, 1913.
1T involves no rash experiment, no
radical departure from established
methods of procedure. Special ques-
tons of various kinds are frequently
submitted to the decision of the ballot.

HAWAIIAN TRADE GROWS STEADILY

Collector of Customs Stackable and his force
have made a splendid record for the fiscal year
tnding June 80 last Though shipments to con-
mental ports OF the United States showed de-
sided falling-off, due to the low price of sugar
and a smaller crop, increases in other lines
brought the total value of the carrying trade up
to within approximately four millions less than
the 1911-1912 record.
It is in the matter of collections that the local
district has established an unusually fine record
the amount exceeding that of any other preced
ing year by more than $214, 900. And it is safe
10 say, though the figures are not at hand that
the local customs district ghasS maintained it's
reputation for collecting at very low cost on
the dollar collected. This is one of the tests of
Efficiency that the local office has met in the
past with exceptional success.

ton confirmed saw message he
sent to Sam Parker. asking him to
do all he could for Pinkham's con-
.imation. | know that he has sent
many other similar messages.
"Pinkham himself is confident that
he will be confirmed II he Is made
governor, he will return here without

W ilson will give him full swing In the

Washington seems willing to give him

81 think it will be a dangerous
thing to fight Pinkham's confirmation.
1t will mean, according to Senator
Lewis, that the organic act requiring
the chief executive to be resident
of the territory, will be amended, and
a mainlander put in Office. Washing

our fighting over offices. There has
hardly been a time with our history
since annexation that we have not
fought over who should and should
not have some office: we have never
been able to settle on one man, and
Washington is tired of listening to
our squabbles. So If there is hot
fight made over Pinkham, 1t will
mean that the resident clause will,
be taken from the organic act and we
viii be given a mainlander.
But 1t looks now, as If there will be
little trouble over the confirmation.
Pinkham is not saying much about
what he intends to do If he takes OF.

put every Republican out of Office and

Opposition to the present tariff

judgment 1t is very doubtful If 1t
will be passed, and it certainly will
not be passed as 1t now stands. Pos.
sibly by greatly modifying it, partic.
ularly in the sugar and wool sched-

but that is open to grave doubt.

FASTENING The OUTSIDER

The expected is happening. The fight against
Pinkham's confirmation is leading to talk of a
change in the organic act so that mainander
may be sent here for governor If Pinkham's
opponents would offer a constructive program,
they would carry more weight in Hawaii now.
But when they fight Pinkham without offering
anything that promises a solution in case Pink
ham is defeated, they are merely Fastening the
time when an outsider will be sent TO Hawaii to
settle internal squabbIes.
