THE USUAL PROBE.

The biennial investigation of the Boys Industrial
School, Waialee. is about TO be launched
Each legislative session since time when mem
DRY of man runneth not TO the contrary has probed
the industrial school, The concrete results of these
Investigations have consisted of reports duly incors
Iorated into the house or senate journals
in spite Of numerous public Investigations. it re-
manned for private inquiry yeariand a half ago to
establish the fact that the school was badly admin
tered and that grave abuses had grown up there.
These abuses exposed in the press led TO speedy
change in management and under new Industrial
school commission the Waalee institution has made
long strides The Star Bulletin believes that its adj
mnistration now is far better than at any other
fime within the past five years.
Superintendent Frederick Anderson has proved
TO be good official and has developed recreation
and education at the school without impairing the
discipline. In fact, the discipline appears better
now than under the preceding superintendent
Representative Kelekolio asks the house by reso-
luton for an investigation into report that boys
at the school are whipped with undue severity This
same report was aired in Honolulu few months
ago and then found baseess. Whipping was being
administered, but not cruelty. And inasmuch as the
school showed definite progress, the natural con-
clusion was that the superintendent gave whppings
when whippings were necessary and when they ac-
complished some good. 49,

WHAT WILL HAPPEN To GERMANY.

G. T.. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian,
and one of the leaders of the Liberals in England,
has recently written to the New York Evening Post
q letter denying that compliance with the Allies
terms for ending the war means ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
the German empire In this letter is the following
statement:
An independent Poland again demands no
greater surrender from the Central Powers than
from Russia. The restoration of Alsace- Lorraine
cannot be regarded as a ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Germany.
Ii is extravagant therefore, to say that complete
ACKNOWLEDGMENT is The Allies objective. Necessarily
Also the formal demand was put at the highest.
Editor Scott says nothing about what will hap
pen to the German possessions in Africa German
islands in the Pacific, latter an Allied victory. it
now seems fairly clear that Japan viii not relin.
ouish the islands she seized will Great Britain,
and that the Entente group intends to occupy per-
manently the rast territory in Africa wrested from
the Teutons
In the event of defeat, Germany may not be com
pletely dismembered but the intent of the Allies
seems to be TO reduce her to a secondclass power
one whose territorial ambitions cannot again raise
her to her strength of 1914.

REPRESENTATIVE eSUfman K. Lyman,

setting aside of certain lands in South
Hlo for school grounds, poured oil on
the troubled. waters this morning In
the senate ways and means commit
tee meeting when he introduced an
amendment to the measure.
This amendment, which takes into
consideration those persons who have
already placed homes on the proposed
lands, reads as follows:
Excepting and 9eferring therefrom
all preference rights within this tract
which may be granted and approved
by the committee of public lands
No vote was taken this morning.
though a number of the members ex-
pressed willingness to vote favorably
upon the bill as amended. Senator
Desha, who will leave tomorrow morn
ing for Hilo, wished to defer action on
the bill until his return, and this re-
quest was granted.
President Chillingworth said today
that a large number of protests from
residents of the district have poured
in upon him in mail today from Ha-
wall. One OF these, a letter from ".

the lead in the fight. brands the action

Carl 5. Carlsmith. attorney. ended
the hearing this morning with an elo-

the opinion that preference rights OF
property owners should be protected,
but he also urged the value of the
place as a school campus.

CARING FOR HUMAN MACHINERY.


There was recently held mothers congress in
of the middle states and among the hundred and
one projects for the betterment of children was
the question of proper food especially for the grow
ing youngster attending school. They seemingly
attempted to knock all the JOY out of life by very
decidedly voting down pie of the ingredients
Of the childs midday meal. Cheap broken candy
and the Charlie Chaplin brand of comedy were also
considered unfit for the stomach and mind respec,
lively of the growing child
But the chief article up for condemnation was the
lard pail. One mother declared that something
ought TO be done to the who permits her child
to use lard pail any other kind of covered pail
in which to carry his lunch to school, Continuing
her denuncation she said .The alright pals stand
all morning in heated hat or cloak room, and BY
noon the food therein is not fit for human eonsump.
ton. Every school, whether in the city or country,
ought to furnish each child hot substantial lunch
This mother has the right idea. There is no one
thing growing, thriving, romping child needs more
than nourishing, well-eooked food A cold, UNI
palatabe, unyentated lunch is a very poor agency
for the restoring of bodily needs of child who has
been at his tasks all the forenoon
Proper attention to feeding of stock and poultry
is one of farmers first considerations The engi
neer gives the most minute and exacting attention
to his machinery if he expects cre1table results
from it.

ANOTHER vrGILANcIA EPISODE.

The American steamer yigilancia, whose sinking
may be one of Che covert acts leading 10 war be-
tween the United states and Germany. figured once
before in notable International episode. That was
IN 1896 two wears before the spanishAmeric war.
The yigilansik was dslthe New York Havana run,
for the New York & Cuba Steamship Company bet
fer known asshe NArd Line
Either coming into or going out of Havana the
yigiIancia was fired on by Spanish guns. A shell
struck the bow but did little damage. This was at
the time when the "Butcher' VIEWERS reconcentrado
ramps had stirred the Cubans to smoldering revolt
and angered the Americans in the islands. Feel
ing was very tense between the Americans and the
spanish.
Secretary A. p. Taylor of the Hawaii Promotion
Committee, who went to Cuba about that time re
members the incident well. The firing the yigi-
Iancia made almost as much of a sensation in its
day as the sinking of the steamer does today.

meets the approval OF both houses.
The committee voted 20 table Repre-

so, which would take this privilege
from court scribes.
II was felt by the committee that
while the bill might prove worth while
in Honolulu il would be detriment in
the other islands
The committee also recommended
the tabling of house bill So relating to
the time OF issuance OF executions.
This bill proposes that executions may
be issued uFon any judgment in any
court at any time during the life OF
such judgment.
The committee pointed out that II
the proposed bill became a law this
time-20 years in circuit eourt-would
be too long: that other rights might
have accrued and still the execution
might not be issued until the end OF
the 18th year. II might also allow al
torneys TO become negligent about en-.
forcing judgments.
House bill 63, following and similar
TO house bill 90, was tabled for the
same reasons.
