THE kIPu CHILDREN
REMEMBERED
as the first.

The Lihue Union Church gave a
Christmas show for the Aakukui and
Kipu Sunday Schools, the Huleia pub.

that neighborhood, Friday evening
By special arrangement the entertain
ment was given in one of the new
school buildings, a fine auditorium
which hardly has it's equal on the
Island. The show consisted of a
shadow pantomime, "In a Country
Hotel" THE Miser's Dinners an act.
ing pantomime, Christmas recitations
and singing by the Huleia school child
rem, recitations by Percy Lydgate, in
character, and a tableau presentation
of the Christmas story; all of which
was joyously received by the children.
Then followed a distribution of soda
water and Christmas bags, much to
the delight of the audience. Spon-
taneously. at the end, the children
burst into patriotic song and rendered
the popular war songs with wonderful
snap and vigor-fairly raised the
roof with such vehement singing as
one seldom hears even these days of
mob singing. And they were mostly
Japanese, too. There were about $50
present, mostly children, and they will
remember the occasion for a long
time.
Thanks are due the supervisors for
the courtesy of the school building.

of Commerce will be held in the Wal
mea Court House on Thursday next
AS large a meeting as possible is re-
quested as several matters of import
ance will come up for consideration
and action. Among them will be the

has given a good deal of time and
study, so that 1t is now ready with
carefully formulated plans OF action.
The committee on sugar growing
contracts will also be on hand with
some interesting discoveries as to the
proposed contracts.

A POSTAL REGULATION

The Lihue post master has posted
a notice to the effect that hereafter
until the first of January, money
orders will not be issued on the regu-
lar steamer days, Tuesday and Satur-
day. The Office has been driven to
this measure by the largely increased
amount of mail to be handled during
the holiday season, and the inadequate
force to do the work.

Belgian Garden Party
Is A Grand Success

A very successful garden party was
given by Mrs. E. S. Swan on Satur-
day afternoon in the interest OF the
Belgian orphans. Fortunately the
weather was fine and the setting was
very picturesque under the great
wide spreading trees. Various very
pretty Belgian favors, brooches, pins,
colors, post cards, etc, were sold at
reasonable prices, as well as dainty
boquets of flowers. A beautiful Cana
dian oil painting was raffled and
brought in $780, 1t went to Miss
Elsie Wilcox.
There was a very graceful dancing
on the lawn executed by Miss Gather
inc Coney and Miss Thelma Hopper
Delicious refreshments were served.
A large contingent was present
from the Kaahumanu Society in their
black dresses with yellow leis and
badges which made a very pleasing
contrast with the light dresses of
their fairer sisters. The affair netted
$500 for the worthy cause.

A Plantation Day Nursery

Grove Farm Plantation has well
appointed day nursery in successful
operation at Publ, on the Koloa road
where eight or ten little Japanese
tots are being cared for while their
respective mothers, care free, are at
work in the fields. The children are
delivered over to the nursery in the
morning when the mothers go out to
work at o'clock or so, and remain
there until their return at the close
of work in the afternoon. With each
child a suitable lunch is left; and
they seem to be as happy and content
ed as lot of kittens, in the care of
a motherly Japanese matron who has
children of her own and knows how
to interest them and keep them
straight. The nursery is a fine, COM
modious and comfortable building,
with plenty of light and air, clean and
sanitary; and the surroundings are at
tractive, and will be more so as soon
as the grass grows on the lawn. This
is commendable philanthropy, and
probably also good business. Other
plantations please copy!

that optimism we should not have taxi
en- the risks involved in sinking oil
wells and mining shafts, Telling forests
and conquering a wilderness. Without
that optimism we should not have
stretched wires over land and cables
under the sea. Without that optimism
we should not have established here
government of the people, for the
people, by the people.
And it is not optimism alone that
has made this nation great. Back of
that spirit of hope and confidence
there has been intelligence, energy and
courage capacity to do, AN eager
ness to do, and daring to do. And
in the whole, long proud list of accom-
plishments of the people of this coun-
try. there is not one for which bureau
cracy can claim credit. What a sorry
spectacle bureaucracy makes Of itself,
then, when it tells the people of this
country that they are incompetent or
dishonest and must be guided in all
their activities by men who never
made success of any productive en-
terprise. And what sorry spectacle
the people Of this country will make Of

Wilful Waste.

The War Industries board came out
with a plea to government depart
ments to conserve print paper, and
the next day the Department Of La
Dor issued 150-page bulletin on EFF
feet of the Air Hammer on the Hands
Of Stone Cutters" The bulletin con-
yeys the information that use Of the
air hammer causes what are known as
dead fingers" on the hands of some
of the men, that the disorder is dis
agreeable and troublesome in cold
weather. but is not dangerous, and it
does not seriously discommode the
worker from pursuing his calling
Having used the time Of officers, ply
sicians, clerks, stenOEraphers and au-
thors to compile this information
while the war was in progress, and
having employed typesetters, pressmen
and binders in the publication Of a.
l5O-page bulletin while labor, paper
and ink are scarce. and having con-
yeved information that any cub re-
porter on a country newspaper could
have presented ia $50 words after
talking with a half dozen laboring
men, the Department Of Labor should
now show its consistency by conduct
ing an investigation and making a
special report on the Effect of Milk
ing on the Hands Of Farmers" and
on the Effect of Dishwashing on the
Hands of Housewives" President
Wilson has said that any Stacking
now is fraught with tragic damage to
the allied cause, and the Department
Of Labor should press to the limit its
investigation of the effect of work up
ON the hands of workers. Callous
spots prevent the laboring man "from
taking up an occupation requiring
some delicacy Of the sense of touch
or accuracy in the use of fingers" as
the report expresses it, although they
do not seem to have interfered with
the pulling Of the trigger over in
France. If President Wilson would
hut use some of the authority vested
in him by the Overman law, giving
him almost unlimited power to control
the activities of his cabinet members,
he could do some effective work to
help win the war by curbing the
waste in the Department Of Labor.

The Curse of one-Man Power

The republican publicity association,
through its President, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., today gave out the follow
ing statement from its Washington
headquarters:
"The most deplorable feature of the
effort to increase paternalism is the
lasting effect it has upon the individu-
al mind. Day after day the bureau
Gratis at Washington say to the people
of the country, You can't do it, leave
it to u.s. Bureaucracy II. only tends
to destroy sclf-confidcncc but it dis
courages self-help. Don't try to do
anything for yourself; just pay in
creased taxes to make up our salaries
and expenses and we will do every
thing for you. You are poor, help
less, ignorant, ambitionless and per-
haps dishonest beings without hope of
making success of anything. Give
up in despair and let us tell you what
to eat, what to drink, w., to wear,
what to buy and what to sell what
prices to pay and what prices to re-
ceive. how to do business and how not
to do it,
"rhose are not the exact words of
bureaucracy. but, boiled down, that is
the necessary meaning of everything
the socialistic government ownership.
paternalistic bunch have been handing
out from Washington for the past five
years-with particular energy during
the past two years.
"If the people of this country be
come confirmed pessimists it will be
due largely to President Wilson. He
has assumed that only a government
official can run the railroads, the banks
and the finances of the government.
7 He acts upon the assumption that only
postmaster general can run the tele-
phones, telegraphs, cables, and the
post office department. Mr.. Wilson
endcavors to do the political thinking
for the country in either peace or in
war. He is, in his own opinion, the
only man who never thinks wrong, and
when he changes his mind it is time
for the entire country to change. Men
who do not agree with him are merry
Gus and excited Political parties that
do not agree with him have not had
new idea in thirty years
IF we were to accept bureaucracy
picture of this country, what a doleful
song we should sing. What detected
countenances we should carry to our
daily tasks if we really believed the
assumption that the success of private
industry and public business depends
upon the wisdom concentrated in so
small group of men. To what a low
state in civilization must we concede
we have fallen, if we aequiesee in
bureaucracy's view of our intellectual
and moral decadenee.
But there is no need to be despon-
dent. An optimistic spirit has pre-
vailed in this country since the days
when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
Rock. Without that optimism small
band of colonists would not have
thrown Off the yoke of autocracy in
177G. Without that spirit of optimism
we should not have gridironed this
