NEW HOSPITAL PROPOSED

The Kings Daughters Circle met
on last Friday at 4 80 with Mrs. DIR.

attendance.
The program for the afternoon
was in charge of Mrs. j. L. Gillispie.
In the absence of the secretary Mrs.

to the regret of entire membership
Mrs. Hicks, chairman of charity work
was compelled to tender her resigna-
ton, which was accepted and Mrs.
Elliott will serve the unexp:red term
There is movement on foot to build
an Industrial school for crippled
children and the method of receiving
the money is by the distribution of
envelopes, each containing compart-
ments for 16 pennies, each strip
measures foot and the effort is to
complete mile of pennies. A large
number of strips were collected at
this meeting and a larger remains
uncollected.
The reports of various committees
were read and accepted and new
committees appointed for the follow
ing months work. The most i'm
portant matter in the nature Of new
work brought before the members
was the consideration of a new hos
pital. The necessity for new
hospital can be readily appreciated
when all the points of advantages
are taken into consideration. First

tionable to the neighborhood in which
it is situated, it being too close to

EDITOR

The affair was woefuIy mishandled. If tact
was lacking on the part of the mayor, it was
equally lacking on the part of the police.
Neither is willing to accept any definite re-
sponsiblity for what occurred and the result
will probably be criticism against the city as a
whole That is undeserved. There were citi-
zens of Honolulu in the crowd, the Star Bulletin
in formed, who resented the attitude of the
And the incident will be generally resented, in
civilian as well as in military circles.
One useful result that the unfortunate oc-
currence should bring about is definite divis
ion between the powers of the mayor and the
powers of the sheriff in police matters. Under
the city charter, the sheriff is the head of the
police department, in full control of it, and is
not subject to orders by the mayor in any mat
ter of policy. The sheriff would have been well
within his rights if he had not followed what
ever he understood Mayor Lanes orders to be
concerning the treatment of men in uniform,
but had handled the crowd and crowd condi-
tions as he saw fit But-and probably in the
belief that he was acting most wisely-he de-
ferred to the mayors wishes. Though tech
niealy he is responsible for whatever occurred,
in reality the easy usage observed here in city
administration virtually ''lets out" either Off
cial so long as he is willing to "pass the buck
to the other. .....> 49,.
To all concerned it should be said that any
against the soldiers carries no
assent by Honolulu as a whole. The blunder
was not the blunder of city, but of tactless
officials and officers. . i
As to the latter: If it should be established
that the police officer on duty made the slurring
remarks attributed to him, there is just one
thing to do, and that is to dismiss him from the
department. II.

cH1NA's HOPE IN YIELDING.

China s most tangible hope Just now. if only
Yuan Shih-Kai can get his distrustful fellow
countrymen to understand his purposes, is to
yield to Japan under the extreme pressure but
to reserve further opposition until the end OF
the European war.
Then China, with the help of the United
States, might carry TO The Hague firm pro
test against the political and industrial spolia-
ton of the new republic
Japanis in military and diplomatic posi-
ton to impose her will upon China at the pres
ent. Great Britain ordinarily could not stand
by and see Japan s commercial interests domi-
nate China as they will inevitably do if the de-
mands are enforced. But now is not an ordinary
time for Great Britain. Not only must she bend
every energy to defeat Germany, but she must
protect her Pacific interests break with
Japan now might sacrifice Hongkong, Shang-
hal perhaps islands in the Pacific perhaps even
more Not long ago japanese journal limited
that India is not beyond the ambitions of the
Nipponese.. So Great Britain will not protest
against Japan's intentions unless those inten-
tons threaten overwhelming disaster to British
interests in the Orient Then a protest may
come. 1t is not likely to come solely as an al
trnistic move to protect China.
But when the European war is over British
Statesmen will again turn attention to the trade
interests of the United Kingdom. Undoubtedly
Britain will contemplate trade expansion in the
Orient if the Germans are permanently dis
lodged from the Tsingtau foothold. And Brit
ish and Japanese competition for the markets
will be hot.
Neither Britain nor Russia is likely to endure
Japanese program that includes complete
dominaiiee.of industrial China. The statesmen
at The Hague would be disposed ito listen to
Chinese claimants against Japan.
China has nothing to- hope from an armed
conflict and everything to fear.

Nearly every member of the congressional
party who has spoken in public since coming

schools and charitable institutions and urged
the people Of the territory to go in their benef-

Hawaii can maintain these institutions only

If it continues to reap prosperity from its
main industry. There is absolutely no other
crop but sugar that even promises to become a

and charitable work in progress here is not, as
ID the states with which the visitors are most
familiar, paid for out Of endownients and
Foundations in land, government bonds and
the like, but out of current profits on sugar.
The one exception proves the rule.

First Society recommends a law to prohibit the
diagonal crossing of streets. by pedestrians at
street crossings, and also general police regu-

A LOVER OF THE BLESSED
SACRAMENT.

st. Francis de Sales used to say to
all his penitcnts, whether in the clois-
ter or in the world; Come confidently
in peace and humility that you may
respond to the desire of the Divine
Spouse who, in order to unite Him.
self to us, has annihilated and abused
Himself so far as to become our food,
the food of them who are themselves
the food of worms. Do not omit your
Communion on account of GOODNESS
and distractions, for all that takes
place in the senses and without your
consent. Nothing will SO quickly
restore peace to your soul as the visit
of it's King; nothing will so warm it
as it's Sun; nothing will so sweetly
permeate it as it's Balm. o God, what
happiness for you that your soul while
awaiting the union that we shall have
itself to Him by this Divine Sacra-
ment in such way that we receive
by actual Communion Him whom the
Cherubim and seraphim adore and re-
ceive by actual contemplation. There
He repairs and purifies everything,
subdues, WHITES, sanctifies every
thing. He loves in the heart, under
stands in the brain, lives in the breast,
sees with the eyes, speaks with the
tongue and performs in us every one
of our actions. Then we no longer
live in ourselves, but Jesus Christ
lives in us.
Thus did the holy Bishops heart
pour itself out in love, admiration and
gratitude for this most lovable of all
mysteries. He used to say that he
found help for every need in the Most
Blessed Sacrament and the Mother of
God, for the love of Mary is insepara-
BILE from that of her Son.
