JINkS REMOVED
FROM JUDICIARY !
BUILDING

The eoffin-shaped patch on the
floor OF the Judiciary building. one Of
the unique distinguishing marks
since the remodeling Of that struc-
lure and which has been creating
some perturbation among the more
superstitious employees around the
building was effaced today. a work
man appeared this morning and cut
out the design, inserting new patch
Of rectangular form.
The peculiar outlines given the or
iginal patch to the floor covering
were unintenti0nal. but severar en-
ployes who Witnessed Il warned the
workmen that Il meant death 70 some
one connected with the aifair. They
are now recalling the tragedy Of 10
days ago. when the man who was In
stalling the furniture. committed sui
eide. No plausible explanation for
the death was learned. and now the
superstitions ones around the build
Ing are openly rejoicing II the
change or the patch design. Some
even declare the old one was q ka-
huna, : and, assert that IN FORMER days
Hawaiians couldaaot have been In
duced to enter the building II they
knew OF the design.
The workmen who are removing
the thing stoutly deny superstition
had anything to do with the decision
to alter It. but the fact remains that
the original piece Of work was per.
fecly good 30 far as workmanship q
concerned, and that the change h
made only for the purpose Of chang.
ing its form.

Mrs. Merrill pipkin, Press supt

We are all so familiar with the
story, that is 80 old no body knows
how old, of the necessity of saloons
for revenue, but read carefully the
following and see II you think they
really pay:
Does il pay to call ministers to
preach the gospel of love, charity,
honesty, purity, forgiveness and re-
demption, aud license other men TO
engage in traffic which fosters
hate, engenders strife, breeds dis.
honesty, impurity and destruction?
Does 1t pay to send missionaries
to the heather to point out the way
OF salvation, and from the same port
and often in the same vessel send
Liquid damnation"?
Does 1t pay to build "A palace for
the brewer, hire servants and buy
silks for his wife, and dress your
own wife in rags, r.ake her take in
washing to support the family aud
finally send her to the poOrhouse
and bury her in the potter's field?
Does it pay to levy tax to sup
port orphans and widows and H.
't-rnse the murder OF husbands and
fathers? Docs it pay to license "A
thing which is always and every
where known to be the enemy of
everything sacred to God aud man?
Does 1t pay 90 maintain ON our
coasts 20 Life Saving Stations at a
cost OF Little more than million
and half, aud out of the same
pockets aud under the same flag
maintain 10000 Lifedestroying
Stations at two billions and Il half?
Does it pay to listen to the sophis-
tries and fHlsehoods of passion, pre-.
JUDGE, ignorance, appetite and
greed, aud close your ears to the
voice of conscience, reason, judg.
,ment, suffering, religion and God?
Does it pay TO do that which will
blanche the checks with fear and
make you dumb with terror when at
last You stand IN the presence of the
Judge OF the quick and the dead?
