& CO. DO
NOT intend TO
BUILD At Once

Bishop & Company have at this
time no intention of Immediately inn
proving the property which they are
purchasing from the Spreckels Estate
in the block bounded by Merchant,
Queen, Bishop and Alakea streets. 1t
may be some time before such inn
provements will be made.
Asked this morning. If Bishop &
Company contemplated early building
operations, A. W. IT, Bottomley re-
piled: NO, we do not. There exists
no necessity at this time. The pur-
chase was really made as an insur-
ance for the future. We did not wish
some one else to secure corner that
we shall later want, and SO we obtain
the property now
Bishop & Company have q lease on
the premises they are now Occupying
that still has five years to run. At
the present time, owing to high
freights, building materials are way
up. 1t is the part OF wisdom to wait
until the price shall be lowered un-
less the buildings are required for
immediate occupancy. As we have
no such need, we can well afford to
wait and profit by so doing"

Permits For Week Show $685..
COG To Be Spent and Much
More Is Planned. /

Increases both in number of per-
mits and amounts involved in the inn
provements contemplated are noted in
the past week over recent similar
periods. There were 81 permits and
the estimated cost is SIS, sos. OF these
the new Buddhist temple building is
the most costly structure planned, the
contract price being $39,550, and next
comes the new stable and other
buildings of the Hawaiian Electric
Company, which is to cost $13,S50.
Some of the permits are for sub
stantial additions to buildings already
built but a large number are for cot
tages for owners homes or for rental
purposes.
But in addition to the improve
ments for which permits are granted
numerous other improvements are
contemplated in tie near future and

Halewai station house, long a land
mark, is being demolished and re-
moved to make way for new and
modern garage. The National theater
is expected soon to close and to be
demolished to make room for another
substantial building. Won Hamm-
Young are reported to be making very
extensive plans for improvements on
Alakea street. Before leaving for the
mainland Won fiamm admitted that
extensive building operations were
contemplated by hfs firm but stated
that he was not at that time prepared

ported that soon after his return

important building plans which he is
said to have had under consideration
before leaving.

delicate and insidious, and 1t Is we'll
for us to examine it coolly. The New
Republic puts it sharply away. In
point of fact Mr.. Lincoln was super
ficially a man of the people, and funda-
mentally unique, distinguished and
wholly exceptional individual. In GER
tain salient respects he was the least
typical of Americans. Americans, par
ticularly those Of Lincoln's own gener-
alton and neighborhood, were essen
TALLY active, aggressive and objective
men, whose lives were given over to
practical external affairs, who sub
ordinated everything else to the de-
mands Of practical achievement, and
whose individuality consisted in living
ordinary lives in an extraordinarily
energetic manner. They were super
fetal, discursive, easy-going, quarrel
some, and wholly incapable of prepar-
ing in advance for any task or respon
sibility In all these respects Lincoln
differed from his fellow countrymen,
and upon these differences his emf
nence depends. He was not particu-
larly ambitious, aggressive or practi-
cal. In spite Of his lively social feel
ings, he lived CT ntemplative life, In
which the intellectual interest OBJ
tanned full expression and which at
tanned a high degree Of internal con-
centration. He fought hard and well,
but he never quarreled. During his
formative years he quietly but unos-
tentatlously prepared himself for great
enterprises. He trained his mind be-
cause he enjoyed hard intellectual eX-
ertion. His style shaped itself under
the influence Of the Bible and Shake
speare Thus at a period and in a
country favorable to the cheap per-
f0rmance and the easy victory, Mr.
Lincoln tempered his reason and his
spirit for a great performance and a
costly victory. Was there anything
typically American about that?"
Ideas W.rth Consideration.
This is refreshing variation from
the canned eloquence" of the Lincoln
day utterance, and it will repay cen
sideration and emphasis, since we are

very like our forbears as to just the
defects the New Republic here pun
gently outlines. If we thought more
of Lincolns extraordinary disinterest'
edness, OF his heroic patience of mis-
deeply brooding spirit, and less OF
those qualities with which we estab
lish all too readily a rough resem-
blance to our daily selves, we might
get wholesome and much-needed re-
action from our rafting, self-satisfied
and shallow life without losing our
sense of his reality as human being
having human weaknesses. Especially
keen is the thrust delivered at our
tendency to "the cheap performance
and the easy victory" and its contrast
with Lincoln's tempting reason and
spirit for a great performance and
a costly victory"
No great victory was ever pur
chased cheaply. 1t has always been
paid for in long and costly, though
often unconscious preparation. Our
national optimism, our impatience an J
superfciality obscure that truth.
As Typical American.
But, after all, in the legend we ara
making of Lincoln as typical Ameri.
can there is an instinct and truth
that are not superficial. All legend
making Is profound process Of ma
tional self-realization, an intuitive in.
carnation of national ideals, and In the
case of Lincoln it is based upon the
sincere, the religious democracy Of
this great man. The high distinction
Of mind, as shown, for example. in the
prose Of the Gettysburg grafton, the
moral nobility, the interpretive aloof.
ness which were an essential part of
him, only accentuate for us the warm
nearness of his nature to the common
nan and the common life. Lincoln
himself held to the mystical concep-
ton OF democracy which Whitman ex-
pressed in his poetry and which is the
dream in the heart of Americanism.
The essential brotherhood of man
was an intimate and glowing reality to
Lincoln, not lofty abstraction, and
though we betray 1t and misread 1t we
must cling to it il we are to save the
national soul.
Idealizing ourselves through Lincoln
is more than self-hattery. 1t is a crude
but not ignoble effort to express the
deepest and most pervasive element OF
American idealism.

so cheerfully convincing withal.
1t is pleasing thus to be able to
conceive of the saint as young lover,
the initiated Archflamen of Hymen, as
Charles Lamb named him, removed
in the early stages of a mounting pas
sion to be the patron of all true lovers,
and to inspire forever the daintily
sentimental, endearlngly naive, over
decorated human documents we cali

The pretty customs Of the Lover'N
Festival have flourished for centuries
on the European continent, In England
and Scotland, and even In America to
some extent. But the ceremonial Of
Valentine Choosing, which Is actually
an adaptation Of the blind lottery OF
the Roman Lupercalla. Is now unused.
Mission the Traveller gives this seven
teenth century account Of the ritual:
AN equal number Of maids anG
bachelors indte their names upon sep
arate bilets, which they roll up, anc
draw by way of lots, the maids taxi
ing the mems billets and the men the
maids; 80 that each of the young men
lights upon girl that he calls his
valentine, and each of the girls upon q
young man whom she calls hers. BY
this means each has two valentines;
but the man sticks faster TO the val
entine to whom he had fallen For
tune having thus divided the company
into so many couples, the valentines
give balls and treats to their mis-
tresses. wear their billets several days
upon their bosoms or sleeves and thir
little sport often ends in love-"

Out of the shadows we see him rise
Face that is haunting and sorro wful eyes
Scared by his burden and bowed meath
it's weight:
Slave to mission and shackled by fate
Poor was the soil where his schooling be-
gan;
Rugged the boyhood that nodded the

Prone with his book by the Pickering

What saw he there in the hearth's rudy

Slowly he rose while the Fates gave nc

Fitting himself for that labor divine.
Deep in the shadows we see him again

"O save Abraham Lincoln from
deathly apctheosis Of the steel
engraving has been laudable
effort of recent years. OF course
It will not prevent the process of leg
end making which works upon the
earthly reality Of every great man, and
in due time leaves MIN desiccated
abstraction existing for the heavy
boredom of childhood. Even Lincoln,
with his vital, homely outlines, his
intimate, endearing faults, and strong
flavor of his day, must cone tc this
turn. But the process may be retard-
ed and ought to be as long as we can
contrive.
One hundred and seven years ago

he was shot by John Wilkes Booth
and ON the next day he died, the first

The central idea Of the overwhelm-
lug majority of these tributes is Lin

out the year we hear this confident
summary and without examining it. Is
this mental inertia or are we uncon-
sciously moved by the fattery implicit
in this idea? An editorial il the New
Republic suggests the latter. The real
purpose of Lincoln-day speakers is not
sc much to eulogize Lincoln, this jour-
nal declares, as to flatter the audience.

Lincoln,s Place In History.

Abraham Lincoln was one of the su.
premely great men Of his day. He
grows bigger and bigger all the time,
and a thousand years from now his
fame will be immensely vaster than
it is at the present time. No man in
all the tide of time ever filled more
difficult or trying place than he held
for four years, and the verdict of his
tory is that he measured squarely vi
to his tremendous responsibilities. il
is doubtful II any other man in ~
country could have saved the day.
