HoiU'ER, Manager by a school of five hundred in their simple child-like love for the needy whom they may never have seen. And as the teachers tell them how the agents of the Associated Charities will distribute their offer ings to the needy who are worthy, each little face takes on a thought ful look. Assuredly a good seed has been in that heart. Tiik (li'iiincriitic luixl THE Hli'lf which ixrurivd LANDSLIDE lust Tue.-Muy was pro-(liiti-il hy most per sons who were in a position to realize the full meaning of the split which occurred in the re publican party when Roosevelt bolted. However, Taft's backers put up a strenuous fight, playing as it were, on the present pros perous condition of the country. The appeal to prosperity did cause s o m e pause, but Roosevelt's strength weakened the Taft forces to such an extent as to put the big fat man out of the race. One of the chief reasons for the failure of the Roosevelt platform, was that it would not bear analysis. It promised too much, and noth ing specific . Its principal excuse for existence was to catch votes. It could not work because so many of its parts were contradictory. The almost dishonest attempt to capture the regular republican electors affronted the public and last but not least, the whole move ment was Roosevelt, program indicating a personal performance rather than the operation of the law. His demand was that every thing be left to him. We are not vet ready for personal government, no matter how glamorous t h e personality clamoring for it. The best thing in the world is work, and the best , work in the world is for the children. It is the seed and the soil and the planting that we must look after together with watchfulness of the growing plants. What the harvest will be we know not. W e may never know and we need not know. The influence of a great teacher tiny reach must reach through all the years. And the great teacher whether in the country school or the university, is the one whose work is limited only by his possi bilitiesnot for self, but for child ren. L Y.

O. Box 54 1 "SSJEEBB:I38 s A postmaster in an Indiana town was recently murdered and robbed, but the associated press needn't think it can scare Ye Editor away from the Haiiamaulu. postoffice by publising such news. He is willing to run the risk of getting shot, cut, stabbed, thump ed or otherwise mutilated if he can get to serve his country. Thanksgiving Day will soon be here once again a day dear to every American. To fathers and mothers and grown-up people, it means family reunions; the com ing together of those who have been apart during the year; married sons and daughters with t he i r children gather around "grandpa's" broad table well filled with eatables, and give thanks together to the Father of all for good harvests, health and the blessing of the year. To the children it means long promised trips, happy times with cousins and aunts, and uncles, the dainties so delightful to youth ful tastes, and all the good times which dhildren and young people together know so well how to en joy. The day is waited for as one of happy expeditions; a n d when past, about it cluster the sweet memories loving deeds done tears wiped from the eyes of the lonely sister, sadness, scattered from the unhappy brothers heart, hungry fed, the cold clothed, and the homeless cared for. The Fourth of July is a day of noise,. January first a time for "resolutions," Christmas is set in happy thoughts, but Thanksgiving touches the sweetest chords of the soul. In rendering thanks to the one Father, all men own them selves brothers and acknowledge those ties of love which bind brother to brother. Hawaii has perhaps thought less of Thanksgiving in the past than it will think of the dav in the years which are to come. In a land of perpetual summer, where he who will may eat those things which the less favored of mankind would receive with devoutly thankful hearts, we accept as commonplace. Let us remember, though, that the sick and sad are with us; and, as our land fills with people, here and there will be found, hidden away the neglected, the uncared for, the hungry, and for all of these 'botherly love" will prompt us to dare. It is none too soon to teach in our puniic scnoois, t n e deeper meaning of Thanksgiving. Older communities on the mainland do it, and beautiful indeed is it then to see, on the morning preceding Thanksgiving Day, every ehi carrying to school, his offerings for the needy, nought in many a case with the pernnies saved by the child himself for that very purpose. One j little fellow brings two or three! potatoes, another a pound of flour, another a jai of fruit; one little j girl has made a dress, another has I something else that will gladden the heart of some little homeless waif; and when all the offerings have been gathered together, it takes wagons to carry the sacks of . IT is said that Treasurer Morgan came near defeating himself by refusing to vote. Luckily h i s good judgment got the best of his modesty and Harold, after much persuasion, voted the straight ticket, which of course included his own name. 8 One of the bullets in the re volver with which John Schrauk shot Roosevelt, was tested on a guinea pig and found to contain no poison. This was very com forting to Teddy, but mighty risky for the guinea pig. The election is a thing of the past and let u s hope that the people of the greatest libertv-lov-ing country i n existence have chosen the right people for the right place. As to Kauai we feel certain on this point. The new wireless station proved a most popular place Tuesday night, and the accomodating operators who kept wires humming all night have the hearty appre ciation of the community. And now comes the prohibition ists with the suggestion that Teddy's defeat was due to his hav ing been half-shot. Maybe'twas, but there are just a few missourians left among us. WE don't see why it was necessary to use an c-iay on Roose velt to discover the bullet that struck him at Milwaukee. Any body can see through Teddy. A Chicago beauty feller wants to swap Ye Editor some complexion cream for an advertisement. If he will send some good old-fashioned cow cream it will be accepted. The Garden Island congratu lates the newly elected candidates, and will add its appreciation for their support of the local press. Morgan says that frame-up pulled off on him during a recent speech in Waimea was perpetrated by a professional button-ski. "Takt carries Utah" said the returns. This would indicate that nioriiioiiisin is a branch o f republicanism.
