Honolulu sometimes fails to appreciate and
give due recognition to musicians worth while
and at other times bestows undeserved patron
age on inferior performers or aspirants for at
tention who at best cannot be called second
class. The first De Folco concert last week
should have brought out a good audience for
the tenor sings well and his dramatic interpre-
tation is strong and consistent, and his accom-
PIANIST was of unusual merit. Only handful of
people attended. The second concert was called
off altogether on account of lack of patronage.
In contrast, the city has given cordial greeting
to other "artists lamentably lacking both in
talent and training The Chamber of Com
merce now has committee before which per-
sons or institutions wishing to solicit charity
funds must present their claims. Sometimes
one could wish that there was competent
committee to hear musicians at private re-
citals, gauge their ability and let the public
know whether they are worth patronizing or
merely pretentious takers

REBUKED.

Travestied justice is fittingly rebuked by
the prompt verdict of acquittal rendered yes
terday in the trial of eleven boys from the In
dustrial School at Waialee.
1t is inexphcable why the territorial grand
jury indicted these youngsters, anyway, upon
the charge of unlawful assembly" mex
plicable, that is, upon any other ground than
that the grand jury wished some judicial in
Quiry into conditions at the school and thought
the trial of the lads might bring such inquiry.
But the trial has resulted in little of benefit
except to- answer properly and stingingly the
Indictment of boys upon charge never meant
to cover such cases as that presented by the
reform school under its present administra-
ton A good deal of interesting testimony
came out in the trial, but not, as nearly as can
be estimated, the sort of testimony which real
" interprets for public opinion the facts about
the school and gives a clear view of a rather
complex situation.
The eleven boys who stood before the jury
charged with unlawful assembly are to a
large degree products of the school. Their
case is its case. Their shortcomings reflect its
shortcomings Their faults result from its
faults. And to indict the boys wholesale for
M occurrence which is quite as much the re-
suit of school conditions as of incorrigible ring
leaders and weak followers, is to indict the
school. To punish the boys only would have
been unjust and absurd
The remedy for "mutiny'' at Waialee lies
not in the grand jury room or the criminal
court, but at Waialee itself. Not prosecution
but broad-gauge education and training will
deal adequately with the mtItineers and end the
le6ant spirit 81 continual rebellion

Austrian inquiry briefly, stating that the Ger
mans put to death about fifty Belgian priests
and maltreated many others; that ''there is not
a single proved case of any priest acting con-
trary to the law of nations" and that the Ger
man ministry of war has withdrawn its charges
against the Belgian clergy, except in sixteen
cases.
The priest concludes that it was not mere
blunder of soldiery which destroyed Louvain
but part of a policy of extreme military meas
ures taken after the blunder.

DISCOVERING CORN MEAL.

The war in Europe is likely to
teach the Europeans the value OF
corna human food. The demand TO
it has already boosted the price OF
corn in the American markets, and
it is likely to boost it still higher
This unfortunate for the domesuc
consumers of corn bread and boiled
mush, but there will be compensa
tions. After the war is over the
Europeans who have eaten corn Will
continue to eat it, and the fields OF
waving corn on the American farms
will be transformed into gold mines.
The yellow kernels will CLINT with
the real luster of wealth. But even
though corn meal is dearer than IL
was a few weeks ago, it is still
cheaper than heat flour. Neces-
sity may teach some Americans that
they can reduce the cost OF living
even now, by using more corn meal
And that will be another form in
which the compensation will mani
fest itself.

The Tamworth is particularly fond

large trade in American hams has
sprung up in Europe, particularly Eng

mands a small ham and our Amer
lean packers are endeavoring to edu-
cate farmers to the idea of curing
hogs that will average around 150
pounds. Matured hogs that will weigh
less are even more eagerly sought.
The truth is that our best hams are
sent to England; it is not an easy mat.
ter to obtain these small, well bal.
anced hams in this country. and we
are forced to take the big, fat hog
ham, with the trimmings, and hypno-
tize ourselves into the belief that Wa

alone
1t is not likely that the ideal small
ham will ever be produced iii large
quantities in the corn belt, for the rea-

best hogs of this type to come from
