FAVOR LARGE FUND
TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS

For the purpose of carrying on all
extensive campaign of preventative
work in the districts of the territory
where tuberculosis and other diseases
prevail, it is believed that Ex-Governor
George R. Carter is in favor of having
the present legislature appropriate the
sum of 100000 to be used for work
OF this kind during the next two years.
Mr.. Carter is one of the strongest adj
yocaters of the movement now on foot
to bring about better health condi' lions
i'll Hawaii. Twenty-Five thousand dol
lars was set aside in the present ap-
preparation bill for the furtherance of
this work, and it is known that the
work of preventing disease, when or
ganized on a firm basis, is much more
simple and less expensive than fight
ing against an epidemic.
Those favoring the increase in the
present appropriation, it is believed
will soon arrange to go before the
present legislature and urge the inn
portance of economizing in other di-
lections.

TALK
MUCH COOLED

The wordy combat over the Rapid
Transit franchise between Governor
Frear and Secretary Mott-Smith on
the one side, and President L.. Tenny
Peek. and W R. Castle on the other,
apparently 10 closed chapter. AS the
result of an informal meeting at the
University Club during the luncheon
hour yesterday, between the governor,
the secretary, Mr.. Peck and l.. A.
Thurston, the public is now informed
that an "amicable settlement" is in
sight ~ -. ...*... :.
True, there will be more talk. but
it is TO be over table and glass OF
lemonade and a sandwich, at close
range, instead of through the public
prints, with heayy-firing, long distance
guns. Whether it is to be compro-
mise is not stated in just SO many
%oras by either side. r.. p 49,.
Governor Frear, asked this morning
as to the interesting conversation
that took place over the club luncheon,
replied he couldn't quote it, there was
no stenographer present, and, more.
ever, that il was of quite general
nature.
He did say, however, that as . con-
sequence other similar sessions are
to be held during the next few days,
in. the course of which both sides
hope. to reach an amicable under
standing" Mott,Smith announced a
little later that another colloqny had
occurred this morning, l.. Tenney
Pecks this time being supported by
nlchard Ivers instead of Mr.. Thurs
ton.
The governor now declares he ia
vors new charter, or an amendment
of the old one, as soon as possible,
this, on the consideration that many
or most Of the things he insists upon
be incorporated in it, and that it take
effect as soon as convenient
He would extend the franchise thir-
ty-seven years from the present date,
bringing its expiration up to 1850. But
in return, he asserts, he would get rid
of the present franchise, which is ex-
tremely faulty, and for the interval
of seventeen years that it yet has to
run, would have another giving more
to the people and less to the company.
In other words, he says, 1t is ques-
ton of whether it is better to have a
new charter, providing good regula-
tions for thirtysseyen years, or per-
hitting a bad charter to exist seven
teen years longer.
If the changes that he wants in the
franchise can be obtained, he will
favor another charter now, to take eff
feet at once.

Hawaiian plants and trees, and these

count of the fact that the climate of
San Diego is very like that of Hawaii.
had talk with Secretary Wood
this morning concerning the ground
on which the possible Hawaii building
would be located. The area which we
have picked out will cover between
two and three acres, and is situated
near the main entrance. Our idea Is
to have an Hawaiian building with an
avenue of palms leading to ii and
various shrubs and fruit trees planted
in the yard. AS yet i have had no
chance to confer with those who are
locally interested in the matter, but
! am sure that the people of Honolulu
will favor such a project"

APPROPRIATION
BILL TO CONE
LATE in session

The general appropriation bill for
current expenses of the territory will
rot be reported out of committee until
the forty-fifth day of the session.
This statement was made by Sena-
tor Rice, chairman 'of the ways and
means committee.
The reason given for this delay in
Presenting the bill was that it is very
essential that all necessary appropria-
tons for the purposes covered by the
act should lie included IN it, and be-
cause of the nature of the act it is
in possible for the governor 10 veto
Il If it comes before him during the
last day or two of the session.

PROBE SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT NOW

The next legislative probe proposed
is for the department of public in
struction. In concurrent resolution
introduced by Representative s. s
Paxson yesterday afternoon search
ing investigation of every line of ac
tivity of the educational department
is authorized. the education commit
tees of the two branches to work to
gether in delving into the great mass
OF detail
Despite the solons' alleged worry
ever the short space of time they
have left of the present session, they
continue increasing the mass of work
ahead. Not content with the burden
of all the important bills yet to come,
such as the Honolulu commission
bill, the Rapid Transit franchise, pub
lie utilities, workmen's compensation
or employers liability, possibly reap
portionment of legislative districts
and, finally, the general appropriation
bill, they already have started a num-
Der of Investigations and apparently
the end is not yet.
They are investigating the public
lands department, the public works
department, the board of public
health. now it is the board of educa-
ton; they have not yet finished, the
Kalakiela-banana-claims-graft inVestf
cation report, and there yet remain
a few things that might bear scrutiny
If the legislators find time hanging
heavily on their hands before the end
of the remaining thirty-four days.
However, S. s. Paxson is making
good his campaign pledges. Through.
out the campaign he repeatedly de-
clared there was something rotten
in Denmark-beg pardon department
of education land that he proposed
finding out what it was. :
His sympathy for unfortunate
school teachers was demonstrated a
week or two ago when he introduced
two lengthy petitions from young Wo-
men who had been removed from their
places at the Normal school and
sought financial solace. Their case
already had beeh considered by the
school commissioners and their de.
mands denied, last summer.
T The resolution was sent to the SEN
ate, where it was partially read and
assigned TO committee.

Women's Struggle
From EDWIN MARKHAM.

ERMAN SCHEFFAUER, In
g. translation from the Ger
man printed by Doran,
presents a thoughtful study Of
the women's movements as seen
by the well-known European
writer, Rosa Mayreder. From one
of the chapters I note these sug-
gestive thoughts:
ut Is undeniable that there are
many women who so far beyond
the average in regard to intellect
and strength of character. and
many who are we'll qualified for
careers and occupations other
than those customary to the sex.
There are many--but are these
enough?
at ell periods of the worlds
history there have been women
who have equaled or even excelled
the majority of men in intelli-
gence and in energy: yet they
have not been able to alter the
social position of their sex either
in the matter OF the law OF in
regard to standards of opinion.
They were exceptions, and have
been treated as such. They were
exceptions--that is to say, they
were not specimens of new line
Of development; they were not
pioneers opening out new routes
for a future generation to follow
and develop; they had no sue
cessors.
But the battle between the
normal majority and the indi-
vidual devisting from the normal
and striving to break down its
tyranny goes down deep into the
constitution of society; and the
process is nothing less than the
organic evolution Of civilization.
There are some who will have
nothing to do with external rules,
they will not obey the traditional
code of laws, but will listen only
to the behests of their own ma
ture. The destiny of such ino-
vators varies according to the
force of their personality, ire
spective of their field of INTEL
lectual activity. They may be
merely ridiculed or ignored, they
may be misunderstood or perse-
cuted, their end may be misery,
insanity or martyrs death.
such men are in truth martyrs
in the cause of humanity. TO
them we owe every forward step
in the progress OF the race from
the condition of beasts up 10 the
nohlest and loftiest civilization.
And when a people ceases to pro-
duce such individuals it sinks into
petrifaction or stagnation; its
power of development dies away.
This conflict between the two

Fully so per cent OF the authors

thus the opening of a new CONT
