Time in its tireless flight has

year, with its sunshine and its
shadows. its laughter and its tears,
its sowing and its reaping, its cradle

between US and that dark day at
Appamottox when the star of
Southern hope went down and the
flag Of Southern chivalry was
furled forever.
Another year has added whittier
locks to the temples of these old
veterans who wore the gray, and
deeper burrows to their brows, and
they now stand among US like soil

forest, hoarv with age, covered with
scars, and glorious as the living
Southern courage.

the land of monuments and mem.

a erand-destiny and the sun shines
bright on the domes and the towers
Of new cities built upon ashes of
the old, and the cotton fields wave
their white banners Of peace and
the fields of wheat wave back their
banners of gold.
Who can portray the possibilities
Of a country which has produced
the stalwart and sinewy men of the
rank and file, who followed the
Stars and Bars through the smoke
and flames of every desperate
battle and stepped proudly into
history as the greatest fighters the
world has ever known? A coun-
try so richly blessed, not only with
brave men and beautiful women
but whose blossoming hills and
fertile valleys are so generous and
kind and whose mountains are
burdened with coal and iron and
zinc and lead enough to supply the
world for thousand years; whose
virgin forests yet stand awaiting
and signing for the woodlands ak,
aid whose winding rivers flow clear
and cool and make music as they

and liberty, of sunshine and senti.
ment, of fruits and flowers. where
the grape vine stadgers from tree to
tree as if drunk with the wine of
its own purple clusters, where peach
and plum and blood red cherries
and every kind of berry bend low
and brush and glow like showered
drops of rubies and of pearls. 1t is
/, the land of the magnolia and the
melon, the paradise of cotton and

They tell US now that it is the
new South, but the same old blood
runs in the veins of these old
! vetrans and the same old spiri,
. heaves their bosoms and flashes in
, their eyes; the same old soldiers who
. welded the musket long ago are
! nursing their grandchildren on their
knees, and teaching them the same
old lessons of honor and truth. and
', the same old love of liberty. The
hooking bird sings the same old
songs in the same old spring, till the
same old fields, bring in the same
y old rocks and fish in the same old
streams. 1t is the same old South
and we are the same old Southern
people.

justly Criticized When Only
Half Through Term

That the present city administered
tion by the end OF its present term
will prove to have been one of the
most progressive and economical in
the history Of Honolulu is the con
tention of Mayor Lane.
+ we are hardly half way now,
said Mayor Lane yesterday, We are
being criticized for expenditures
which had to be made in line. with
our policy. and at the beginning OF
our administration Much of our mon
ey has been spent for equipment
which had 10 he purchased. but the
final RECKONING at the close OF our

been both economical and progressive,

tinues the mayor. much that is neces-
sary, for the Honolulu Of today is not
the Honolulu of half a decade ago
and expenditures must be made to
correspond with the citys growth.
Mayor Lane mentions the need OF
money to protect the city from Grim
inal class that is increasing all the
time Police are now necessary, he
says, in sections where people for
merly had neither bolts to their doors
or bars to their windows.
Also, he mentions the purchase OF
the three new fire engines, which is
commendable, he maintains, in view OF
the needed protection against loss oil
property. Ample fire protection will
lessen insurance, rates wonderfully
he says.
Frontage Tax Costs Money.
1--WE have promised to stand by the
frontage tax, and we are doing so,
continues the mayor, but TO do SO
means an increase in our expenses,
Also ii means more meetings by the
board, more consultations with the
attorneys department, and more road
committee reports. All of this shows
that we are sincere in our efforts.
The board is trying to get the pol
icy of the administration on bust

litical prospects, trying to the best

Supervisor Hollinger is known TO
have some pretty strong convictions
in regard to the economy of the city
administration, with especial regard
to overhead expenses in the road de-
partment Hollinger has expressed
himself at various times on the sub
pect in board meetings.

committee, however" said Hollinger
when approached on the subject, and

But One Issue. That's Enough.

President Wilson, in speaking to the
Democratic National Committee at a
White House luncheon; said the Repub-
leans have but one issue-the Tariff.
Tariff has been stuck to in 1912 as the
paramount issue, there never would
have been any such thing as watchful
waiting, people too proud to fight in
defense of the honor of their country
would never have had their praises pub
icly sung by the head of the nation,
and an administration noted principally
for its new phrases and classically COM
posed State papers would not have had
being. The Tariff is a question of
sufficient Importance to be an issue;
stick to it. But for heavens sake
