o'er the paat. and worry is the harvest of all our pains at last : cn
lamities that threaten are lighter than they seem, and all mr dark

who's always in a stew, so never trouble trouble till trouble troubles
you. How foolish, how wrong-headed arc all the human crowd!
For when the sky is sunnv tljey're searching for a cloud; and when
the crops are thriving thev murmur and complain ; they fear there II
be too little or else too much of rain ; and when their health is bouyant
they pore o'er almanacs until they're sure they suffer from bunions on
their hacks; and so their useless worries just keep them sick and blue
oh, never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you! Of course tie

name 1ms not been heard of for many years. Does not Ismay deserve a
similar punishment? '
The latter's storv is unbelievable. One day he admits that
there- were not life-boats cnoueh on the crowded Titanic by saying that
lc has "now issued orders for lifeboat equipment sufficient to accom
modate the full capacity of passengers and crews on an wiiuc oiar
steamers." This, of course, plays havoc with his tale that, when he
left the Titanic, after, helping off those who went to the Carpathia, he
"ttimnrln tli.it nil others bad been orovided with places." And so he
was "astonished" when he put off to sec that there were still crowus
of people on the Titanic's decks." How did he suppose it could be
otherwise?" Ismay, knowing the boat equipment to be small, had left
over 1600 people behind him "under blazing lights." Ihc truth seems
to be that kc knew a terrible catastropnc was coming aim uiu uui
to be caught in it or even to take the risks of waiting for some who
might have been saved.

More Road Work.
Tho superintendent of public works
on Saturday signed a contract wun
Gomes & Co. for the construction of
about 1500 feet of new road, which
will open up a considerable extent of
the upper part of tho tract, which up

U-.nc irrevocably fixed atrainst it; and as tree government lanti
grew soiree in Illinois people turned to the Scully estate and, by action
of the legislature, made it too costly for Scully to hold. It had to be
divided and sold; and now the region is a scat of happy and thrifty
homes and villages. , . .
In the South the large owners were mainly permitted to hold big
estates to raise crops on. It was part of the slave system; and
under subsequent freedom, the ability and willingness of the owners to
raise something all over the land which gave employment to the people
and was the agricultural mainstay of the social and political fabric, kept
the landed system from being wiped out.
On the great plains and in the mountains, large tracts came to be
needed for grazing and this was accepted. People needed cattle to eat
nnd the room was boundless. Now between Federal law and State law
even the cattle ranges are drawing in their horns ; and it has been
.Ipmonstrated that 10.000 acres, given to a cattle range will not pro-
ilnrp so rcat a wcisrht of beef as will the same area divided into 100
farms where cows are well fed and produced for the market as a mere
incident of the farming business.
Now we come to California. The old "patroon" spirit and land
area had been the chief bequest of the Mexican cattle-raisers ; and after
the Americans forced their way into the country, the hrst interior
political issue was a fence law. The cattle men wanted all California,
particularly all Southern California, for a range. The firm of Miller
& T.nv could ride from San Diesro to Siskivou on their own land. But
the grazers, as a class, made free with the public domain. The new citi
zens becan takine it up and fencing it in, hence a row which the legis
lature settled in the popular way. Then, through taxation, the ranges
became limited and as a result California is a State which invites to
its vast hospitality of nature tens of thousands of people every year
and is coming to be a rich and populous American empire. .-Where the
wild cattle ran up and down, fruits and flowers, orchards and gardens
grow; where sheep nibbled the scant herbage, cities rear their massive
bulk; from the valley trails where the antelope trotted in herds, comes
the thunder of passing trains and of whirring shafts; and where the
sea once lay in smiling vacancy, the trade wind sweeps along the smoke
of a growing commerce. Rut the new "patroons" had to go before
these things came.

eclectic in their speech, however, and polyglot Honolulu was soon

new-comers clear. It is creditable that the common hope was to be

These people are needed here to whiten Hawaii and help make a
substantial basis for the permanent population of the group; and it is
to be honed that some pains will be taken to keep them. The first
Scandinavians who joined us were a rougher population, but their
descendants arc among the reliable and progressive people of the group
While the Russians in question are mostly mechanics, they leave
behind farmers Who would like to shake off the thraldom ot the Czar,
and these would make admirable colonists for some of our higher lands
for they are of a sort to do well on small tracts where they can breathe
cool air.
It is a coincidence that the White Star liner Olympic, practically
the sister ship of the Titanic, collided with another vessel while starting
on her maiden voyage, but a few weeks ago and put back to her dock
for repairs. It might be added that she had the same captain as th
lost Titanic, who, though an admirable man, was a victim of sheer bad
hick. It has developed that he was not the White Star Captain smith
who came here many years ago in command of the Oceanic, the first
vessel, of the greyhound type, to ply the waves of any sea.
There is a remarkable story a work of magazine fiction that the
Star reproduces today, in which our readers will find details thii
parallel the wreck of the Titanic. It will be read with an interest that
is sharpened by the horror of reality.

THE PUNAHOU PAGEANT.
The Punahou Pageant, which takes place next week, has a double
significance. It is given as a triple celebration in the life of a school
t in whose continued prosperity Hawaii takes more than an ordinary
interest. I he anniversary program is unique and worthy of the occa
sion ; in place of a formal list of addresses, the children arc to present
in miniature a series of dramas, tableaux and processions. illustrative of
f the progress of civilization. The joy of the children in the preparation
t of this program is a forerunner of the pleasure which it will give the
I audience, or audiences, for there are to be two.
Such originality and initiative in the plan of the celebration is
deserving of more than passing commendation for, dependent as we
' ,.are on our own resources for intellectual entertainment, a program like
this which at once educates and entertains those who take part and
f. those who attend is praiseworthy. This is not the first attempt of the
I kind that Punahou has made and to an outsider at least, there is noth-
ing in the work of the school which attracts more favorable attention
than its efforts both in the ideals which it holds up to its pupils and in
iits entertainment to give a conception which lifts us above our insularity.

t undertaking whose success will come as the result of careful plans and
pactful co-operation of children and teachers and parents. There mav
jravell be general cause of rejoicing not only at the increasing years and
prosperity of the school, but also at the unusually happy method and
fpint ot the celebration.

on a coward is hardly more severe than that which England visited on
