RICH IN HISTORIC INTEREST
Excellent Reasons Why Mlssisslppl's
Old Capitol Should Be Preserved
by People of State.

A bill for renovating Mississippi's
old statehouse calls for the legislature
of the state to consider question
more or less continuously discussed by
Mississippians ever since the compile
ton of the present capitol in 1903. For
a comparatively modest sum the old
capitol may be restored and put to ex-
cellent and appropriate use. So that
today the sentimental plea for the
buildings preservation Is strongly re-
inforced by utilitarian arguments.
Mississippi's old statehouse should
be as dear to Mississippians who take
pride in their states history as the
Cabildo is to Louisianians. Built in 1889
the old capitol at Jackson is identified
with the most stirring events in the
most stirring period of Mississippi's
history.
In 1849 1t housed the convention that
formally asserted the principle of
secession as a state right In its hall
the convention of 1851 was assembled
and the ordinance of secession passed.

of two governors by federal troops,
and staged the notorious black and

the impeachment trial Of Governor
Ames. In 1890 it sheltered the consti-
tutional convention which framed and
enacted the franchise plan that solved
the south's most portentious problem.
Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Prem

other makers of history have ad-
dressed Mississippi audiences in the
historic structure. 1t witnessed the
election of Jefferson Davis as major
general of Mississippi troops at the
beginning of the struggle between the
states. From its rostrum the Confed-
crate president in 1884 delivered his
farewell address to the people of Mis-
sissippi.

First Real Attorney General.

One hundred years ago Richard
Rush Of Pennsylvania became attor-
ney general of the United States. He
was the first attorney general to be
recognized as a member Of the presi-
dents cabinet. Up to this time the
head of the nations legal department
had not been regarded as standing on
the same footing with the other mem
bers Of the cabinet His salary was
much less, and ne had neither office
room nor clerks, and was not required
to reside permanently in Washington.
Mr.. Rush was eminently qualified for
the honor bestowed on him. He had
long been looked upon as one of the
leaders of the American bar. Though
he served in the cabinets of three
presidents, his most notable achieve
ments were In the line of diplomacy
rather than as cabinet officer. He
served eight years as minister to Eng
land and four years as minister to
France.

Who Was Jack RobInson2

You have uttered that famous
phrase, "As quick as one could say
Jack Robinson" of course, but have
you any idea who the real Jack Rob-
inson was? Well, John Robinson
proves to have been a politician who
fiourished in the time of George III.
and who was great favorite of the
English king against whom the 13
American colonies revolted, says a
writer in the Buffalo Express. Robin
sons political career was. a long one,
and he was a member for Harwich for
26 years.
On one occasion he was bitterly at
tackled by Sheridan, who, denouncing
bribery and its instigators, replied to
the cries of ''Namei Name!" by point
ing to Robinson on the treasury bench,
exclaiming: Yes, could name him
as soon as could say Jack Robinson"
Thus originated the saying still cur

EXTENSION SERVICE OF THE COLLEGE OF HAWAII

in extension work. I'm order TO be
most useful. it must be wei organized
as we'll organized as any other work
at the college itself.
Let the Demand Grow Up in the
Communicates many educational
agencies are now fairly established.
and the country people in general are
aware of the aids that they may re-
ceive; and they are also aware for
the most part Of the deficiencies.
There are some regions and places, OF
course, into which extension enter
prises must be carried bodily and as
a gift; but these are now relatively
few.
1t is best to let the desires origi-
nate in the people themselves even
if it Is not so rapid as some of us
would wish, and to be cautious Of the
plans Of those who sit in offices.
The New York state college Of ag-
riculture formerly paid all travelling
expenses of members of the staff in
several lines Of extension work. De
mands for assistance from the college
grew very rapidly. During this time
they had an opportunity to study the
situation. Two facts became out
standing: first. that the appropria-
tons would always be inadequate to
meet the needs Of the state; second,
that they were sending assistance to
many communities that were able to
pay something toward these expenses
themselves. They found that many
communities took deep interest in
a particular piece of extension work
when there was a contribution CO the
part of the community toward the ex'
penses: the people naturally felt as
if they were partakers rather thai
onlookers.
Now and then there is a feeling that
the community is entitled to this ser
vice without direct expense because
the individuals think that they have
paid for it in their. taxes. This feel
ing is not marked, however, and is
easily met by pointing out the very
small amount of extension service
that could come to any given rural
community merely on the basis of the
taxes paid. Taxation supports the in
stitution and maintains the staff: the
college is here, for such use as the
people desire to make of it in an ex.
tension way. ;,- ~x.

THE VAR GAME IS on

President Wilson request to use the armed
forces of the United States and the prompt con-
sent OF Congress, is not declaration Of war, but
il means business.
In fact the game is on; the game which this
country has sought to avoid by every means in
It's power. The men and the means without limit
are at the disposal of the commander-in-chief.
There is no division i'm thought or action on the
plain duty of the hour, of many hours If need be,
to support the administration in such acts as
may be necessary to uphold the nations dignity
and honor.
Let no one assume that, now the President has
made the move, there will be any hesitation or
deviation from clear cut, determined course.
Mexico must come to time N&@.
If there is any sinister suggestion in the state.
ment of Hnerta that he views the future com
placently, this offers no terror to. the American
people or their commander. If the Mexican
leader is hoping for assistance from without, our
country is ready to face the issue now
Americans have never sought war. But they
can fight And they will fight, with a courage
zeal and a degree of patriotic efficiency that
admits Of no such word as fail
We intend to rule that portion of the world
n which our national sphere of influence gives
as responsibility. 1t will be done decently and

WORTH WHILE SUGGESTION.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: Entertainments for charitable
purposes, held in theaters where the
cost of renting the theater and the
pay of musicians, ETC., eat up nearly
all the profits is evidently a great
mistake. There have been several en-
tertainments given here lately and in
which it is said very little was made
after all the expenses were paid, and
those with but little means, whose
idea was to do good rather than to
hear the music, did not appreciate
this state of things at all. And it is
hoped that hereafter if such enter
tainments are to be given for this
purpose that some of the rich resi-.
dents who have large and beautiful
homes and gardens will open them to
the purpose, just as Admiral Moore
is about to do and thus shave the
great expense of renting a Iall or 2
theater
AS times are getting so hard, and
there are so many out of employment
and in need of charity, one of these
entertainments could be given every
week in some one of the many fine
residences of the city, and the pro-
ceeds from same could not fail to be
OF great benefit to the poor of the
city.
1t is hoped that for the sake of suf-
fering humanity that this suggestion
will be taken up.
Very truly,

Citizens of Hawaii and more especially our
Democratic fellow citizens, should read, mark,
learn and inwardly digest the letter of Core
spondent Albert dealing with the appointment
situation in Washington. The flood of protests
which are being forced upon the Federal admin
istration are ruinous to not only the Democrats
who indulge in this practice, but through them
the good name of the territory as a whole There
is absolutely nothing to be gained by such tactics
1t is the game of the hyena in animal life, and
of the small and petty mind in human kind.
When citizens of Hawaii act like children, and
have no proper realizing sense of their respon-
sibility to their particular party and their com
munity life, the President and his associates
have to treat them as children. We would much
prefer to see them all act as broad minded, far
seeing, capable and sensible average men. That's
the sort of American which appeals to the Presi-
dent of the United States and citizens as a
whole Mr.. Wilson believes in the average man,
and he also believes that this average American
should display average common sense 1t is to-
such men that he listens.

A new ZEALAND GRIEVANCE

The great dreadnought New Zealand. a re-
cent visitor at this port, has caused decided
GOODNESS between the New Zealand government
and the British admiralty. The colOnials feel
aggrieved that after they provided the splendid
fighting machine it is not to be stationed in
South Pacific waters or even in Pacific waters,
but somewhere around the European coasts.
The London Times sets forth the peculiar cir
cumstances as follows:
''The disagreement between the New Zealand
government and the admiralty is much to be re-
GREETED. The technical merits of the contrO-
rersy apart, its origin is not in doubt Mr.. Mas
sey has expressed the opinion that the Pacific
miralty is tied and bound by the necessity of
making adequate provision for naval defence in
European waters. In these circumstances it is
hardly possible that Mr.. Massey's renewed re-
quest for the two Bristol cruisers will be grant
ed The result will then be that New Zealand
will definitely enter upon a policy of providing
ANIMAL contribution to the imperial navy. The
dissatisfaction in New Zealand has been aggra-
waited by the use which is being made of the bat
tle-cruiser presented by the dominion. New
Zealanders are justly proud of their gift, and
they have refused to make it conditional in any
way. Now they find that the New Zealand is
definitely allocated to European waters. We
have repeatedly condemned this method of deal
ing with dominion-proVi ship. Technically
Justified, it is radically opposed to every prin-
ciple of imperial solidarity. What is thought of
it in New Zealand may be judged from Mr.. AL
lens remark that, though the New Zealand had
been given Internationally, it had certainly
been supposed that she would constitute an ad.
dition to the naval strength of the empire, but
that this was not the case. We have appropri-
ated, in short, to our own immediate needs a
warship which should have maintained the pres
tige of Great Britain in Pacific waters, and we
have left New Zealand to take the steps which
she herself thinks necessary for her own protec-
ton in spirit which certainly borders upon re-
sentiment at the treatment meted out to her.
This may be sound and necessary strategy, but
is effect upon imperial interests is deplorabe."
