permission Of the navy department and
at the request Of Lieut. oomdf. Victor
Houston, commander Of the vessel A
the st. Louis is in reserve and not re-
quired TO make the test by the enei-
neering bureau Of the navy.
The st. Louis, on Friday : run made
twenty-one knots an hour, stated Lieut..

cruiser, last night, This is not only an
especially fine record for the vessel On

twenty-five thousand, four hundred
horse power was developed during the
run which ended Friday night. the hiah,

The entire credit for the remarkable
showing made by the cruiser Is given
by her officers to the engineer Is force.
The men not only stood watch and

being put in the boiler room. If in full
commission the cruiser would REQUIRE
seven hundred men IN place of which
she has only two hundred and forty.
The test was COMPLETED without any
serious trouble With the engines in spite
Of the heavy strain on them. At one
time some cotton waste was drawn into
the bilge pumps Of the starboard engine
and the vessel had TO slow down until
this was removed. Towards the end of
the run salt water got into the conden.
ser but outside Of this the engine room
log was clean.
The full power test for vessels in full
commission requires four hours steam
ing under full power and eight hours at
cruising speed, the st. Louis having
been ordered to do two hours at full
power and ten hours endurance run.

The Country Dead-Fal

ME saloon has no place in the country districts
y and the sooner all such are abolished. the
better it will be for industrial production through
out Hawaii, Theoretically alcohol taken at the
rate Of about two tablespoonfuls per day is food,
but not the kind and variety of alcohol obtainable
in plantation saloons. One teaspoonful of some
Of the brands dispensed at country saloons is dead
ly poison.
The ancient custom Of deriving part of the
cost of government from community vice is going
out Of fashion. It is no longer considered good
form to support the public schools on brothel and
saloon license monies. The line Of argument there
IS SO perfectly obvious there is no necessity for
repeating it.
The logic against locating saloons in the imme-
date environment Of plantations and factories
ought to be self evident and plain as day The
plantation saloon causes more crime and more
genuine misery even than the city saloon Its
pfoprietors take their toll Eat the source" right
where It is easiest to get, and where it can be
got IN ready cash The country" saloon is leech
fixed to the jugglar vein Of production All it
asks i, blood TO get that blood its poison must
be Of the rankest and deadiest brew What the
effect Of his poison may belon the industry en-
ploying the men whose coin the saloon-keeper
takes is the least OF his worries
There is law forbidding saloons within GER
tain radius Of schools and churches There ought
TO be law prohibiting the location Of any saloon
within one mile Of any factory, mill or plantation

Menace To tie Children

N REPORT from the tuberculosis bureau, pub
lshed in this issue. shows the direct relation
ship between school children's lunches and the
building up Of the little bodies to that degree q
health where any latent seeds Of the white plague
may, be thrown of. This report brings up a mat
ter of very wide interest to the parents of public
school children, something which has been talked
over at various times in desultory way, SO far
without accomplishment.
This is the matter Of the itinerant candy carts
which draw their principal trade from the school
children, tempting the little ones to spend their
lunch money for what are at best only excuses
for food, Many and many child has sacrificed his
midday lunch in order to feast on shaved ice with
a teasponful of colored syrup poured on It, while
others spend their nickels on cheap candies, soda
water or other tempting dainty Of the push carts
It should be possible for the school authorities
to put stop to custom which the tuberculosis
bureau shows is dangerous to the health Of the
children. If there be no authority in the present
law or rule now within the power OF the teacher
to enforce, the subject appears to be fit one for
action at the pending session Of the legislature.
There may not be, as City Attorney Brown
points out, any legal objection to deputy Of the
city attorneys Office, acting as police court prose-
cutor, being also member of the police and FIRE
Commission, but surely there is an ethical object
ion which the mayor ought to recognize II must
be apparent to Mayor Lane that circumstances
might well arise where the commission should be
quite independent Of the city attorneys Office.
There is no dearth Of good men for the commits
sion and no actual necessity for retaining Mr..
Sheldon, now that he has landed public Job.
%***&
Social and other duties appear to be taking all
the time Of the mayor He is seldom seen around
his Office and callers on his honor have been known
to return day after day in an effort to See the
mayor on the business Of the city, 1t would be

The special charter committee of the civic or

spoil an even contest the major

it almost To the close, when by a
series Of brilliant attacks the Lin
coins tied the score just before the
final whistle sounded the LlnCOlnS
threw a goal from the foul line, but
the WashinGtons claimed the period
