who ENJOYS popular respect His wife
Princess Eugene Maximilianovna backs
him. Prince Alexander set the st Peters
burg curatorium the task of providing
the city with a peoples rheater which
should be the best in Russia. Obstacles
had to be faced. The curatorium gets
from the state an annual subsidy of only
S2oO,O00 and has dozen things to man
age apart from running theaters Prince
Alexander managed to get as a gift the
disused iron building of the Mini Nov
gorod exhibition. and he had this adapt
ed. given a facade and set up on the
Petersburg side to the north of the
Neva, which is the historic center Of the
capital.
This is the building now officially
known as The Peoples House Of Nicho-
las Ii. The Peoples House consists OF
theater, library and restaurants. and last
year it had a triumph in the addition on
its left wing of vast Peoples Opera
House. which holds $500 spectators The
opera house has thus 70 rival in the

Since its addition. the Peoples House,
as a whole, counting the two theaters,
restaurants, libraries and grounds, can
hold 10000 persons, and every sunday
and holiday it is full. The one trouble IS
that, as in all Russian peoples theaters.
the show is so good that the dearer seats
tend to be filled BY the well-to-do middle
class and even By aristocrats.
Prince Alexander and Princess Eugene

Owing to the performance of inert bu-

mains have had small success and they
are disliked by the public. But they came

coming is that Russia has the most nu-

the governor. together with the draft
of bill which might be presented TO
Congress recommending alterations in
the land laws governing the territory.
This is not aimed at the admins
tration," declared DR.. Irwin yesterday,
but Is intended merely to obtain a
big change in the present unwieicy,
complicated laws. SO that homestead
ers will know just what is expected o.
them, what they must do to qualify
and to encourage the small settler. 1t
is ofssspeeial Importance to Hawaii
county, which has more acreage ayaIi-
able for the small farmer than all the
other islands, and 1t is vital TO our vel
fare.
.'T here must be some change in the
present system if we are to get, the
real, bona fide settlers of the desIr-
able kind; we will never get them so
long as men from the states come
down here. look the proposition over
and go away with the idea that Ha.
waii is bound down with 0aroniai es-
tates and coolie labor.
q still believe It possible to open
our public lands to the kinG OF nome
steadefs who VIII handle them as they
did in the middle west: make their
homes upon the land. rear their child
rem there and become permanent; ;en-
ants. There should be way of en-.
couraging,or even enforcing this, deny
ing. a homesteader the privilege OF
selling out as, soon as he gains title
and permitting the land to revert to
some larger holder. and nonresident.
Until We get the permanen: settler
our acreage will never yield what 1t is
capable of and ought to produce. De
spite all that others may think ] am
convinced that, no owner or great es-
tates can bring land to- the high state
OF cultivation Chat the small holder,
who works 1t himself, can create.
DR.. Twins theory is substantially
the same as the idea advanced by
Secretary Fisher.

young men for these callings, the sup
ply does not equal the demand
Mr.. Super's idea in giving this inter-
view was to induce the local boys be-
tween the ages of sixteen and eighteen
years to prepare themselves for the
local openings by taking up CONNER
cial subjects in order that they may
be fitted for the position when al
opening might ioccur. There are SO
many demands by the local business
men at the association office for
young men eighteens years old, who
are willing to- start at the bottom on
salary of saydifty dollars per month
and work up into a local position, tina;
it has been found impossible to supply
this demand, and it was with this
view in mind that the article was
written. The idea of inducing outside
men to come to Honolulu and fill ioca:
clerkships was never contemplated.
Mr.. Snper's Interview was copied by
the Daily Consular and Trade Report
and sent all cover the world. The
writer's for the various eastern papers
hit upon the article as good feature
story. The New York World made a
long story out of it from which a
part has been, quoted. An evening pa
per in Philadelphia made big fea.
ture of it, running two column PIC
ture of Honolh1u harbor and column
or more of reading matter.
The correspondence which has re-
suited from this publicity of Homo,
lulu has been so extensive that Mr..
Super has found it necessary to bring
printed form into use IN answering
the letters, stating that the case has
been misunderstood. anyway, Homo
lulu is becoming we'll known.

NO. 6-oETTYSBURG
Copyright. 1918. by The Mentor Association. Incl

GETTYSBURG was the high-water
" mark of the rebellion, and Pick
ett's charge was the high water mark
of Gettysburg. In that terrific en-
gagement of the third day the adj
vance of the Confederates into North
ern territory was effectually checked,
and the question of the Confederacy
maintaining a position in Northern
territory was settled. Lee turned
South with his defeated and broken
forces, and as the booming of the
guns of Gettysburg died down the
Confederate cause ebbed away.
When the battle started more than
two hundred cannon hurled shot and
shell across a lovely green valley
with following grain fields. The car
mage and the roar and smoke of guns
continued until the Confederate gun
ners began to run short of ammuni-
ton; then. on the third daK came a
lull. 1t was an omfnous silence
Down from the one hill surged a line
of gray, and another, and another
