MARKS CREATES
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
One hundred thousand released po-
litical prisoners, say the dispatches,
are now on their way from Siberia
back to Russia.
Only those who know something
Of the he'll provided for revolt by the
old Russian aUtOCracy can know
what that means.
One hundred thousand souls res
cued from living death, returned
from despair to hope, from the hOr-
rOrs Of premature burial to be free
like other men, from the infinite tor
lures Of infinite fiends to the sudden
realization of the republic, the vision
Of their dreams.
Some will go mad with Joy, and
some will not for long time believe
they are alive and awake.
Marie SpTodonova, that saint of
democracy, she is free! Never did
she imagine she should see again the
sunlight on the grass and hear the
speech Of men. Agents of the old
Russian autOcracy stripped her
naked and with the butts of their
Cigarets burned elaborate patterns
into her flesh, before with their fists
and their knees they beat her to a
pulp and with their heels stamped
into her face the cruel disfigUrements
she will carry to her grave. And she
is free now, and so is old Mother
Katherine" the dauntless soul who
escaped once and went back deliber-
ateIy to put her head into the beasts
mouth rather than be safe and far
from the fight
She is free! A hundred thousand
of them are free! There is no more
Siberia, there are no more horrors,
no more knout and lash, no more
beatings and wrackings, no more

as that news about the 100000 re-
stored from the living grave.
Great days! They. seem like some
impossible good dream. What we had
thought might come in the year 200
or the year $500 has come now. It
is even so. The day when Russia
cast from her the blight of kings was
one great day, ard the day when
President Wilson formulated the
faith of American democracy was
another.
They will seem to the end of time
corners around which mankind
marched when it turned its face for
ever from the whole bedevilment Of
monarchy, rank, caste and special
privilege and started on the march
to complete and universal demOc-
racy.
Great days!
There were some things about
that message that were even more
important than its declaration that
the United States was ready to enter
the war. We haven't had time to
think much about them yet because
we have on our hands the immediate
job of putting the HOhenzOuerns out
of business. But we shall come back
to think more and more about that
message, and so will all the world.
Because, for one thing, it an
nounced definitely and for all time
extinction of one theory Of govern
ment that has plagued and poisoned
the race for thousands of years.
It has announced the death Of the
idea that men because of their birth
have any privilege to reign or govern.
or have power or influence. It
knocked out forever the old idea of
the tribal chief and the son of his ia
Their. 1t knocked out the old ridicu-
Ious fantasy about superior families,

A Distinguished
Scientific Visitor

DR.. Campbell of Stanford Univer.
sity is on the Island for the pur-
pose of making a careful study OF
Hawaiian Liverwort Moses.
1t is a scientific question of long
standing whether these Islands have
emerged from the sea by means of
volcanic. upheaval, or are the re-
manning peaks of submerged con-
tinent. One important factor in
the discussion is the plant life of
the Islands, which it is claimed
shows afiinities with the continents
on either side.
These Liverwort moses may prove
to be pretty conclusive evidence
since they will not bear transporta-
ton. In case they prove to have
marked afiinities with those o t
America or Asia the inference will
be that we were once connected with
one or both of these great land
areas.
DR.. Campbell, it appears was here
25 years ago.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. r. Myers of
Kilauea left by the Kinau last Sat
urday on a short vacation to- the
Volcano.
We understand that Mrs. r. l..
Wilcox has purchased a bit of land
at Weliweli by the sea, and will
build beach house there in the
near future.
Mrs. Alfred Castle and Mrs. Ha-
rold Dillingham;, who have been
visiting Mrs. Semi at the Valley
House, Kealia, are returning to
town today by the Mauna Loa.
Mr.. Carl Bayer, manager of the
Makaweli Store has bought himself
bit of land at Weliweli by the
sea, west of the Koloa light house,
where he is building comfortable
little beach residence
Mrs. A. II. Waterhouse and chill
dren are still summering at the
Farley house, Koloa beach, where
she finds it so restful and beneficial
for the children that she would like
to remain there permanently.
The large road crusher plant is in
process of removal from Papaa to
Waipouli and will, Immediately on
being set up there, begin work
crushing stone for the last section
of the belt road, viz, that lying be-
tween Wailua and Kealia.
Mr.. Ed. Garden was delighted by
the arrival of his mother, two sis
tiers and two small nephews- who
visited on Kauai from Friday till
Tuesday. While here, they spent
delightful day at Haena- ms the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hyde
Rice. They also enjoyed a trip to
the Waimea side and Olokele Ditch

Avery Made Inspector
OF All Schools

w. G. Avery, principal of the
Kauai high school, was appointed
inspector-general Of the public
schools of the territory, to succeed
William McClusky, former super
vising principal of the Maui schools,
at Il meeting of the board of COM
missioners of education this morn
ing.
Mr.. McCluskey will take Mr..
Avery's place in the Kauai high
school. Mr.. Avery will be inspec-
tor-general of schools until the first
of the year, when the position will
be abolished. He will then become
statistician of the department, a
position created. when the last legis-
lature abolished the inspectorship.
AT the last meeting of the board
Mr.. McCluskey was appointed in
spector-general in place of George
S. Raymond, who was made super
vising principal of Maui The
changes made today do not affect
Mr.. Raymond's status, and he will
leave for the Valley Island to as
sumo his duties the latter part of
this month.
With the exception of the change
in the Honolulu office no new ap-
pointments were made. The ap-
pointments of teachers made by
Supt. Henry w. Kinney since the
last meeting of the board were ap-
proved. Superintendent Kinney was
given authority to appoint 100 new
public school teachers, the appoint
ments to be subject to the approval
of the board.
These new appointments will be
made between now and the open
ming of the new school term in Sep
tember. Superintendent Kinney an
nounced today that a majority of
the new teachers will be brought
here from the mainland.
A number of applications for
transfers have been filed with the
department and action on these
probably will be taken this after
noon when the commission will
complete its work. Star Bulletin.

ACROBAT|C BOYS
ON A BOOM

The eighteen Honolulu boys who
so successfully gave four athletic
performances here on Kauai last
week returned home Saturday on
the Kinau enthusiastic boosters for
the Garden Island.
Over thousand paid admissions
were taken in at the four entertain
ments and the boys more than paid
expenses. This was especially pleas
ing to Mr.. Sam Robley, their lead
er, who came prepared to meet a
deficit.
The boys gave a first class enter
tainment in every respect and sur
prised all by their athletic skill.
Three of the best performers were
from the Boys industrial School
and were paroled especially for this
trip. Mr.. Robley has a gymnasium
class at this institution which he
teaches once a week. The other
boys were from the different Y. M.
G. A. boys clubs under Mr.. Rob-
leys direction.

TIP TOP INTERIOR
DECORATIONS

AS play-goers will have noticed
the Tip Top Theatre has been re-
ceiving touches in the way Of in
terror decoration, that have added
very materially to its attractivencss.
The most striking feature is the
series of panorama landscapes OH the
walls about the level of the gallery
On the right these portray scenes
that are familiar but always charm
ing and always popular;- bit of
the Waimea river, Hanalei Bay, a
bit of bold Coast; on the left Shake
spere's Home is offset bya rice mill
in Porto Rico and an English rural
scene.
Particularly effective is the mar
row band of green and gold outlin-
ing the proscenium, while above
the proscenium on either side are
effective conventional symbols of
the histrionic profession in artistic
grouping.
All this decorative work, which
is more than usually. artistic is the
handicraft of Marcelle and his as
sistants who are certainly experts
in their line.
More than ever does the Tip Top
make good for its claim to be the
neatest and most attractive theatre
in the Islands.

LAST SUNDAYS
BASEBALL GAME

In fast and snappy game of
baseball Sunday afternoon the Lii
hue aggregation showed the Maka-
we'll cohorts under to depth of 6
to 0. 1t was a fine game to watch
full OF exciting plays, and handled
well by the umpires Sheldon and
Gibson, The pitching of DR. Branch
and the fielding of Johnny Fernan-
dez were the leading features of the
game. Not Makaweli man reach
ed third base. apd only few got as
far as second. Branch had a world
of steam and excellent control.
which, taken together are hard
combinationlto beat by any team.
The Lihue team showed marked
improvement over the game of the
preceding Sunday against Koloa,
hitting well and fielding better than
usual. The Makaweli crowd show
ed lack of batting practice, and
were not as peppy as in previous
games.
Two runs were scored in the first
inning by Lihue which gave them
the jump on their opponents and
when again in the third they con-
tributed two more it looked pretty
safe for the Tip Top aggregation,
but not satisfied with this lead an
other run was added in the sixth
and last one in the eight. Henry
Malina and Johnny Fernandez both
secured three baggers which gave
them the hitting honors of the day
as far as the long hits were con-
cerned.
Chizu pitching for Makaweli,
worked hard clear thru the game,
Lihue's hits were made with men
on bases which gave them the need
ed runs. Lack of hitting by the
Makaweli boys was the main cause
for their defeat as their fielding was
clean and fast.
McBryde lept up her winning
streak by putting Koloa down into
second division winning by the score
of ~ to l. That the Eleele boys
are out for the pennant can easily
be seen by the largeness Of the score
run up on their opponent.
Nobuto for the winning gang
pitched fine game sending 13 of
the batters who faced him back to
the bench by the strikeout route.
The fielding of Watase on third
was one of the bright spots in the
he fielded everything that
came anywhere near him, and his
pegs to the bases were perfect.
Every possible dope sheet was
broken Sunday in the different
games. Makaweli had beaten Ko-
loa, and the latter team had beaten
LihUP so Makaweli was slated to
with. The McBrydes had been beat
EN- by Lihue, and Koloa had de-
feated them, so it looked like Koloa
would win 1t is Just this upset
ting of the dope that makes base
ball the greatest of all American
sports.
The teams at the present time
have the following standing:

Preparatory to the coming school
year, new school buildings are in
process of construction at Kekaha,

High school an d Hanamaulu.
These buildings will be of the bun
galow type so commonly adopted
A two room building will be
erected in connection with the Ii
hue school to be used for school
purposes to meet present emergen-
cies, and to be converted later into
teachers cottages. This will obviate
the necessity Of using the chuch
Sunday school rooms as was con-
templated.

its water rights, G.. X. Harrison,
Superintendent of Hydrography,
has recommended to the Governor
that renewals of water right leases
to sugar plantations be made on a
sliding scale the rentals varying
with the price of raw sugar.
In connection with this new de-

will detain him fol about a week.
He will then proceed to his old

Mrs. J. K. Farley and her guest
Miss Small, spent a delightful day
with Mrs. Lydgate, last Friday, at
the mountain place of the latter.
1t was a beautiful day and the
mountain scenery with varying light
and shadow on every ridge and
ravine was simply perfect.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hopper and family
spent the week end at the Lydgate's s
mountain place, Hale Lena, and
made a long trip along the Koloa-
Waiahi ditch in search of ferns,
scenery, and exercise. The latter
especially they found in abundance; /;
they also brought back good appe-
tites.
The other night at Eleele the
whole neighborhood was awakened
by the frantic and prolonged blow
ing of the McBryde mill whistle.
