mary essentials of moral conduct is
the belief of all who have examined
him, but that he has strong moral
character is not believed
He is boy not yet 19 years of age
and immature in his mentality, in
fact seems In some degree deficient in
memory and in comprehension. He is
lacking in Judgment and purpose
That he bought the revolver with any
definite intent is not believed It
was the same impulse that induces
many boys to desire to possess a
weapon Of some description.
In tracing his life it.seems to have
had an unWholesome atmosphere. He
seems to have failed to enjoy or pro.
fit by the physical and mental oppor
tunities army life presents. in fact
was weak in SO many points that the
peculiarities made him almost ostra.
cised.
The whole evidence tends to fix a.
belief thtat his nervous and mental
condition is due to habits not usually
spoken of in public
Great care and deliberation have
been exercised in examining his case,
and able medical men, the high sher.

used their best judgment in forming
their conclusions, which, with the gov
ornor's own investigations, form the
basis Of this elemency.
am convinced that Henry Francis

ments OF physical and mental man
hood for the law to enforce the ex.
treme penalty, death, hence have
commuted his sentence to life inn

THAYER IS NOT
IN ACCORD WITH
WEAVER DECISION

Regardless OF q legal opinion to the
contrary, 1t now appears probable that
political parties will not have their
names on the primary ballot until they
have produced evidence that they are
organized over the territory and have
regular county and territorial commit
tees.
This was brought out at a confer
ence between Secretary OF, Territory
w. w. Thayer and city and County
Clerk David Kalauokalani, Jr. The for
mer informed the county clerk that as
a condition precedent to putting the
name of party on the ballot he would
require the names of all committee
men, etc.
The question Of what parties are en-
titled to have their names on the bal
lot came up with the formation of the
new political Organization, the Lahui
An opinion handed down by p. L. Wea-
yer, deputy city and county clerk, held
that the city was obliged to recognize
any de facto party, and did not have
the authority to inquire into its status.
From the attitude taken by the Sec
retary of territory, it appears that the
latter and Mr.. Weaver are not in flar-
mony on the rights of organizations to
get their names on the ballot.

ENJOYING WHAT OTHERS WIN.

TN his Citizen Of the World Gold
smith describes a mandarin who ap-
4 peared in a blaze of diamonds, and
who was very ostentatiously thanked
by a person in the crowd. What does
the man mean" the mandarin x
claimed. Friend, l never gave thee
any Of my Jewels" NO." replied the
stranger, but you have let me look at
them, and that is all the use you can
make Of them yourself; SO there is no
difference between us, except that you
ave the trouble Of watching them,
and that is an enjoyment 1 do not de-
sire"
The habit of feeling rich because
you have developed the faculty Of ex-
tracing wealth from everything you
touch is riches, indeed. Why should
we not feel rich in all that u eyes
can carry away, no matter If others
happen to have the title deed? Why
should I not enjoy the beautiful gar
dens of the wealthy and their grounds,
lust as If l owned them? AS / pass
BY 1 can make my own the wealth of
color. The beauty of plants and lawn
and flowers and trees are all mine.
The title deed of another does not cut
off my esthetic ownership. The best
part Of the farm, the landscape. the
beauty Of the brook and the meadow,

the slope of the valley, the song OF the
birds, the sunsets, cannot be shut up
within the title deed; they belong to
the eye that can carry them away, the
mind that can appreciate them.
This ability to gather enjoyment
from all sorts of sources is a divine
! gift. It hroadens the life, deepens the
| experience and enriches the whole ma
ture. 1t is a great force in self-cul-
ture.
The secret OF happiness is in a cheer
full, contented mind. He is poor who
is dissatisfied; he is rich who is con-
tented with what he has," and can en-
joy what others own.
Some people are SO mean and stingy
so uncharitable and narrow, SO big
oted and suspicious, that they never
open their natures wide enough to
take in the riches all about them, the
beauty with which they come In con-
tact. They are SO jealous and enVlous
and small, that they are AFRAID TO
throw open the doors of their hearts.
The result is, their lives are plnched
and starved. A person must be mag
unanimous and large-hearted, to be able,
to absorb the wealth and beauty that
are worth while.
l know a poor man who really en-
joyed more than any rich man l know
of, simply because early in life he
learned to enjoy things without own
ing them to such an extent that he
never seemed to have the slightest
envy or jealousy in connection with
the property of others, but rather
showed gratitude to those who owned
them. He was such a sweet soul that
all doors were open to him, because
he radiated sunshine and good cheer.
It does o matter how poor or how
unfortunate you are, you can ENJOY
without the trouble of owning or car
ing for them, millions and millions OF
! dollars worth of works of art, and
things of rarest beauty, almost as well
as though they were your own. Think
what 1t costs to maintain our great
city parks, with all their wonders OF
beauty and comfort, the palatlal pub
lie buildings, the fine residences. beau
tifuI private grounds and gardens ana
objects of beauty everywhere when
you can enjoy without money-and yet
you Ia say you own nothing. He
has missed the finest lesson of expert
ence who has not learned how to en-
Joy without owning.

Scotch National Hero.

One hundred years ago the cele-
brated colossal statue Of Sir William
Wallace was formally dedicated by the
earl If Buchan, in connection with the
celebration of the five hundredth ami
versary of the battle of B~annockburn.
Sir William Wallace is known as the
national hero of Scotland, and the
stories of his courage, patriotism and
devotion are familiar to all the chill
dren Of that land AS the leader Of a
band Of patriotic followers, he fought
for years to deliver Scotland from
English rule. When victory seemed
about to crown his efforts be was de-
feated and captured through treach-
cry, August 5, 1905, and sent a prison
er to London. There he was tried for
high treason. On the same day that
he was convicted he was executed and
his body quartered.

Monster of the Deep.

That there are monsters in the sea
has been proved by the shooting the
other day near Malta of a creature
of gigantic proportions and 5000
pounds in weight. 1t proved to be a
cachalot, or sperm whale. the male OF
which sometimes attains a length OF
seventy feet. The existence OF the
sea serpent, therefore, has still to be
proved.

leave Her Law"

Sylvia Pankhurst kicked her heels
together at Limehouse and shrieked:
81 will lie on the steps of the House
of Commons without food or water un-
til Asquith consents to receive a depu-
tation."
This reminds us of an incident at
the North station some years ago.
Father, mother, and child were run
ming for a local train. The parents
gained the platform of the rear car as
the train started. Mother cried: ooh,
father, little Johnny has fell DOWN."
