PRO CATHEDRAL SCHOOL
FLAG-RAIsINc EXERCISES - FLAG
PRESENTED BY WoMEN's RE-
LIEF coRPs-HoME ECONOMIC.
DEPARTMENT OF THE SCHOOL
GIVES EXHIBITION.

GIVES ENf1I6I iI0Ns
The fiag-raising exercises at the Pro
Cathedral School oil st. Mary, Mime
apolis, Tuesday afternoon, May 25,
was attended by representatives of the
national, state and local encampments
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Members of the Women's Relief Corps,
who presented the flag to the school,
were also out in force. The program
had been planned to take place on the
school grounds but was transferred to
the auditorium on account of the damp
and threatening weather Despite the
rain, however, the hall was filled with
five hundred friends and patrons of the
school. About fifty members of the
G. A. r. in uniform sat on the stage,
and about an equal number of the
W. r. c.. Comrade Levi Longfellow
represented the national encampment
of the G. A. r., Captain A. p. Con-
molly, the state encaInpment and Com
mander Haines OF the Soldiers Home,
the local encampment The pupils Of
the school presented a program of
patriotic music and recited in unison
a defamation in honor of the flag.
The new flag was then carried by the
color bearers down to the campus. 1t
was accompanied byta guard of honor
and followed by the entire throng Of
visitors who gathered about the flag
pole The flag was then raised while
the children led in the singing of the
national anthem, "The Star Spangled
Banner"
An exhibition of the work of the
home economic department of the
school followed the patriotic program.
The notable feature of this exhibit was
the display of two hundred pieces of
sewing, representing wide variety of
needle work and demonstrating the ex-
cellent character of the instruction
given in this department OF the school.
DIR. G. r. Keene, director of the health
department and assistant superintend-
ent of the city schools, B. b. Jackson,
were among those present at the after
moons program. Professor Jackson,
in the course of his. remarks, said that
the examinations ofspupils from all the
schools of the city indicate that the
work of the parochial schools in the
secular branches is equal to that of
the public schools.

SUGGESTIONS WORTH ATTENTION.

Prof. Arthur r. kelIer's suggestions for road
experimental work, published in another col.
umn today, are right to the point.
His plan as outlined briefly is that the Col
lege of Hawaii should carry on experimental
road work under an advisory board consisting
of the superintendent of public works, the city
and county engineer and the head of the col
lege engineering department, with the engi-
neerS of other counties invited to lend their
assistance and cooperation when feasible.
To provide facilities for this experimental
Z work, road-testing laboratory would be es-
tablished at the College of Hawaii. Part of the
apparatus is already at the college. The work
would be carried on by students of the college
under the immediate direction of the professor
in charge of the engineering classes and with
the advice of the public officials. T. ~.
An, appropriation of approximately $4,000
will be needed to equip the laboratory and
furnish the materials at the start This APP
Preparation will be asked of the next legisla-
ture if the recommendations of Prof. Keller
are adopted.
The Star Bulletin is strongly in favor of the
plan and hopes that the legislature will give it
thorough consideration. Two years ago this
paper urged the establishment of a road-testing
laboratory at the College of Hawaii. That is
the proper place for it and under Prof. Keller's
plan of cooperation by public officials, it is
assured that the students work will always be
on a soundE practical basis.
Scientific road-making is rapidly displaeing
the hit or miss kind. This latter has been given
long and patient years of trial in Hawaii and
has been a costly failure, Its only permanent
value is as a horrible example.
BY equipping the College Of Hawaii with
such laboratory and beginning the plan as
suggested by Prof Keller, the leading educa-
tional institution operated by the territory will
be given further opportunity for very definite
and practical public service. AS the students
are gaining their education in road-construc-
ton, they can be serving the territory by work
ing out current problems.
Prof Keller's plan recommends itself for
inclusion as part of the governors message
and for early and favorable attention by the
Legislators.

LOT Lane AND
RICHARD Slated
FOR MILK JOBS
Mayor Admits He is Consider
ing Appointment of Territor-
iaI Inspector and Brother

Joseph Richard. ms rector OF milk
and other dairy products, under the
direction of the teri .turial board Of ag-
riculture and forestry. may be APP
iointed milk inspector tor the county,
as a side issue, at a salary of $50 q
month. and Lot Lane. brother OF May.
or Lane, may be appointed deputy
milk inspector at $l00 a month. ac-
cording to a plan which Mayor Lane
admitted today was "Jnder consiIerA-
ton"
Lot Lane was employed by the ter.
ritorial board OF health early in 1913.
and was released when the county dis
continued sanitary inspection. H:t
brother, Richard Lane, is employer
by the territorial bureau of health as
a sanitary inspector. The secretary
of the territorial bureau stated today
that both inspectors are efficient and
that Lot Lane was considered good
inspector.
When asked about the plan Mayor
Lane was reIiCent in Offering an eX-
PLANTATION.
Just say that the plan is under con-
sideration," he said. My policy is
to bring about harmony between the
territorial and county governments
and for that reason the plan for a
territorial official to supervise inspec-
ton was proposed. Heretofore there
has been a decided lack of harmony
between the two governments and l
intend to do my part in remedying
this"

Honolulu, Hawaii, Jan. II, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:-I read with interest the arti-
Gle published in the Star-Bulletin Of
January concerning poster stamps
and the fad of collecting them, as
sure you that the fad is interesting
and instructive for anyone who is a
student and lover of commercial and
typographical art in design and color

Poster stamp collecting is getting
to be all the rage in the United States
It is an educational delight with all
the charm OF novelty and none Of the
friEolity attached to the average craze
Old and young will find both know4-

THE SPIRIT OF "GETTING SOME
THING FOR NOTHING"

Honolulu, Hawaii, dan. Is, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin. -s-
Sir: Our mayor has invited the cit
liens of this city to criticise his ideas
and in the most friendly spirit of
fer the following objection to one Of
his new plans. ill., -.
In his message 1he mayor calls at,
tention to the fact that the sewer
system of Honolulu is running behind,
and he advocates that sewer rates be
abolished entirely and that the water
rates be increased enough to pay for
the expenses of the sewer system. Il
There are periods during tho year,
in the city's financial affairs, when 1t
may be necessary to rob Peter to
pay Paul." but ! submit that it is not
necessary now or hereafter, nor is ii
fair to saddle the people of Kalihi,
Manoa, Kaimuki, etc, who have no
sewer privileges, with Increased water
rates to pay for the sewer privileges
that people of other parts Of the city
have the benefit of. ...-"
The way to make the sewer system
self-supporting is to charge the ex.
penses of the system to those that
receive the benefit
1t is my experience in governmental
affairs that Hawaii has too many peo-
pie. who are looking for something for
nothing and the mayors new idea
savors of catering to these people.
While on the subject of people look
ing for something for nothing it is my
impression that it is the members of
this gang that are opposing the pay
ment of water rates on a meter basis

not been such as to burden The United States
supreme court.
That the bill will pass is probable 1t was
favOrably reported in the senate before Hawaii
even knew it was up inf Congress at all. Dele
gate kuhio's friends contend that the part af-
fecting Hawaii was buried so deep in the alb
struse phraseOlogy of the bill that the delegate
is not to blame for his" ignorance as to what
was going on adverse to Hawaii. Probably that
is so. However, it is rather more than unfor-
tunate that the delegate so far has seemed I'M
able to protect IIawaii's interests and is not
even in effective touch with the Bar Association
so that he can be helped in making protest.

IS OREGON GOING BACK?

Oregon, home of political and social reform,
the state where the initiative, referendum and
recall flourish alongside of the timber king and
the justly famed Portland crawfsh, is said to
be firing of the direct primary law. Accord
ing to recent dispatches, life in the northwest
states is just one election after another, with
a liberal sprinkling of amendments, recalls,
and other pieces of popular legislation.
The plan now proposed is direct election
of municipal, county and state officials, with
the preferential voting plan Incorporated in
the, method. 1t is proposed to do away en-
tirely with nominating elections.
1t is estimated roughly that the direct pri
mary costs the taxpayers 100000. The follow
ing election costs as much. In the proposed
measure aspirants for office will have all the
freedom of running they now enjoy, but the
winners of the most votes in the primaries will
be considered elected.

Mayor Lane is credited with plan to main
tain the municipal milk inspection which has
been carried on for the last two years to give
a Job to friend of the old board of supervis
ors. Whether the mayor intends to name his
brother for the job or not the fact remains that
the real work of inspection is now being done
by the board Of agriculture and forestry. If
its Inspector, trained and efficient man, is
given county commission and say $50 per
month in addition to his present salary, the
city and county will be thoroughly looked after
on milk inspection. We hope the mayor will
see this situation in the same light

NO REASON FOR THE BILL KILLING
APPEALS.

Appeals from Hawaii to the United States
supreme court have been so few that the plan
to abrogate the right of appeal on local ques-
tons is unjust and supported by reason
The excuse that Hawaiian litigation has bur
dened the supreme court calendar at Washing
ton is trivial, so trivial, in fact, that there is
evidently something more behind the bill, II. n.
1906, than appears on the surface. Local
attorneys and the Bar Association are quite
iustifed in resentment at the course OF this
measure, which has every appearance OF being
assisted through Congress before Hawaii> is

viding that in all cases involving more than
$4,000 an appeal might be taken from the terri

The war news from Mexico is no.
toriousIy false but after all it is
about as reliable as that from
Europe Immediately on the open
ing of the war most of the news
sources in the countries engaged be-
came mere bureaus of falsehood and
distortion and it probably will not be
until after the war that the world
will know much of the actual details
The premier liar in sending out war
news seems to be Petrograd with
Vienna close second though the
pure fakes are now coming mostly
from neutral countries like Switzer-
land. Holland and Sweden, meaning
probably that the news centers there
not being able to get real news send
out all kinds of rumors. What little
reliable news we get comes from
Paris, Berlin and London, but the
hate of the hostiles is so acute that a
dispatch from any one of the three
principal capitals should be discount
ed from ninety to ninety-nine per
cent The facts relative the actual
fighting are bound to come out in
time and the silly stupidity with
which such dignified capitals as
London, Paris and Berlin try to de-
ceive and mislead the people OF the
world would be joke if ii related to
less serious subject A good
American publicity bureau with re
liable young newspaperman at the
head of it would be a good invest
ment for Germany, France or Eng
land and would do much TO improve
their relations with neutral coun-
tries. An old. broken down general
who was retired for incompetence
thirty years ago in charge Of cen
soring news dispatches, is one of
England's most asnine blunders of
the war. Germany and France have
proved equally stupid in this depart
ment and have gained nothing.
