LIBERTY OF MAN
Hampton School Address-ed
by Woodrow Wilson.
General Armstrong: Eulogised In an
'.Able Address on Liberty on
Founder's Day.
The Southern Workman recently
published an address delivered to the
Hampton School on Founder's Day, by
Prof. Woodrow Wilson. The address
eulogizes General Armstrong, to whose
patriotic unselfishness the school owes
its existence. Portions of the address
are as follows: I cannot help feeling,
as a Virginian, that Virginia is honored
in having Hampton planted on her soil.
I cannot help feeling that Virginia is
honored in having the name of Armstrong
enrolled upon her roster of
"brave and honorable men, for Virginia
has given birth to many heroic souls,
and wnile she did not produce Armstrong,
he, too, has consecrated her
soil. He was one of whom I had heard
great and notable things, as of the man
-whose name is known wherever devotion
and heroic performance of duty
are held in grateful memory, but not
as one whom I had been privileged to
know personally.
General Armstrong was a man who
seldom spoke of anything he did not
directly know: he spoke always of
what he had seen, whether with the
eyes of his body or the eyes of his
spirit. It behooves any one, therefore,
who would honor him in speaking in
this place to his audience, to speak
only of such things as he has seen or
experienced for himself. Therefore, I
am going to speak, not of a man but
of a theme; a theme commonplace
enough in a way, but a theme that is
difficult and complex; a theme that it
behooves ever' man to think about
again and again. I am going to speak
to you of liberty.
Does the man in the ranks think the
order of his general a sign of his liberty?
And yet he knows how to obey
orders? That makes him part of the
army. Do you yourselves 'think of a
life of service as consistent with freedom?
And yet service is efficiency, and
efficiency Is freedom.
uoes not nature say to a man:
"Learn my laws and you shall be free;
free from physical pain, free from
damage, free to use as you will the
forces of my power." It is a knowledge
of the laws of health that keeps a man
from disease.
Power comes with real possession
A man possesses, not that which he
stands upon, but that which he uses.
A man may have a great deal of money
and may surround himself with books,
but if he has no education and cannot
read the books they are none of his. I
might line the walls of my room with
books; but, if I do not use them, I
might as well have walls of plaster.
It would be cheaper: and, if I knew
about plaster and did not know about
books, it would be more fitting.
The strength of society consists in
the perfect and easy adjustment of
each man to his fellows. The search
after freedom is a search after the
best adjustment. I do not say adjust
ment simply, for some adjustments
111 adjustments cause friction, and
men begin to find they are not free.
There is now a constant friction between
Labor and Capital for example
so that it Is said that "Capital runs
free and without friction, but Labor
does not." This friction becomes so
great now and again that we fear conflagration,
if the sparks should fall
into combustible matter.
We can hardly say that the laborer
is in slavery, because there is a specific
legal meaning attached to ' that
word. Yet it is true that the laborer
has not full liberty; we have not yet
rightly adjusted him to the other parts
of our social machinery, so that his associations
with Capital may always be
harmonious.
No government can get along without
a constitution of liberty, written
or implied; and notice that a constitution
of liberty is expressed in negative
and not positive terms. We might
think that Belgium's constitution differed
from this, because Belgium does
say: "There shall be liberty of the
press. Very well, what is meant by
that? Is she going to admit absolute
freedom of the press? No, society cannot
permit that. You have got to have
the liberty of the press defined.
Our Bill of Rights is our Constitution,
and in the first clause of the 14th
amendment it says, that no man shall
be deprived "of life, liberty or property
without due process of law." Can I
not be deprived of my life by my
try? Yes- by any due process of law.
If I do something for which the State
has affixed the penalty of death, can it
not demand that my life shall pay the
forfeit? If the Government is at war
and, needs every man in her service,
(cannot she draft me for her service:
'must I not go even if it be unto death?
There is not a drop of blood in my
body that is not at the disposal of the
Government, or the community in
which I live: but I must be treated
as every other man is under the same
circumstances. The picking out of a
man because of personal dislike, or ill-will
Is despotism. Liberty consists in
adjustments that are equal.
In a community where all men are
not equal under the law, there is no
liberty. There must be a right of adjustment
of individuals to one another,
of classes to one another, and of the
government to all. But this adjustment
is infinitely difficult to make, and
must be made anew from age to age.
No man ought to be impatient to sec
it speedily effected. It must come from
day to day. It takes infinite patience
to learn a trade, or to read a book; it
takes an infinite deal of patience to
solve a simple problem, and this is not
a simple problem. It exercises the
minds of all men, because it includes
the welfare of all men.
I do not want new ideas coming into
the world that are not worth fighting
for. I don't want to be led by a poltroon.
Many a mnn is. willing to speak
about a new idea quietly in a parlor
who would not fight for It in public
The man for us to follow is the man
who is willing to fight for his ideas.
Is not this the lesson of the life of
ArT"rrorr Dirt hp expect every heart
to btat in uniFon with his? Did he not
meet contradiction, opposition, discouragement,
in making visible to the
world the idea that possessed him?
The man who wants things easy, and
expects to have his ideals realized
without a struggle, might as well have
been left out of the world. The man I
pity is the man who has no dispositiin
pity is the man who has no disposition
mind to struggle we lose the prize, and
what one man loses another man
gains. Conquest is the crown of his
liberty. The only nobility is the nobility
of achievement. Never a man
met with a success without sweat of
the brow of spirit. Never a man
achieved anything without a perfect
knowledge of what he wanted to
achieve.
IM PORT ANT R AT D.
Kaapa and His Men Clean Out a
Notorious"! Joint.
Detective Kaapa and his men made
a raid on an opium joint above the
pork shop of Yee Wo, on King street,
about 6:30 last evening, and succeeded
in capturing nine smokers, together
with Young E, the proprietor. This
place has long been suspected by the
police, and several attempts to get in
to the joint have resulted in failure.
Not long ago Gus Cordes came very
nearly getting his head taken off by
one of the large barricaded doors.
Kaapa and his men went about it in a
quet manner, climbed up on the roof,
kicked in a small boarded window, for
escape, in case of the approach of officers,
and, jumping in. took the
so by surprise that they did not
even have time to do away with any of
their opium or outfits. They were all
arrested and locked up.
Young E confessed to the ownership
of the joint, and will probably plead
guilty to the charge of unlawful possession
of opium in the Police Court
today. The others would say nothing.
The joint was one of the most perfectly
barricaded of any that have ever
been discovered in the city. There are
two rooms next to the roof. After go
ing up a flight of stairs from a lane,
one is met by a heavy door. This is
bolted on the inside by means of a
heavy wooden bar. A hole about three
inches in diameter is provided with a
shutter, so that a man on guard may
see who is approaching. Up another
flight of stairs one comes to another
heavy door with three heavy wooden
bars in front of it, and which can be
locked by a combination from inside.
This opens into the smoking rooms
proper two little bits of places hardly
large enough to move about in.
To the right of the last door is a
hole which, when the top is pulled up.
looks down into the butcher shop below.
Through this the signals for customers
are given.
In one of the smoking rooms is a
large funnel arrangement connecting
with a cesspool below. Through this
the opium and outfits are thrown at
the approach of the police.
Kaapa and his men deserve great
credit for cleaning out this notorious
joint.

AFFLICTION
Mrs. Henry Waterhouse
Expires Suddenly.
III for a Week from Slight Disorder
Was Burled
Yesterday.
Like a thunderbolt to the community
came the news of the death of Mrs.
Henry Waterhouse at her Peninsula
home at 1:15 p. m. Saturday. She had
been ill but a week, but it was not
such as was deemed dangerous to life.
The beginning of the end was on
Friday night, when deceased went off
suddenly into a sinking spell, caused
by nervous exhaustion. The members
of the family put forth every energy
to bring her around, and finally succeeded.
She seemed to be better, but
before long went off into another spell.
Mr. Harry Waterhouse, the only member
of the immediate family left up in
the city, was telephoned for, and started
down to the Peninsula at 2 a. m.
Saturday. His mother rallied after he
got there, but soon took another relapse.
Physicians were telephoned for
and Dr. Day arrived at 4 a. m. Dr.
Herbert reached the house a little later.
All the efforts possible were put
forth, but the fever continued to increase
until it reached something over
10C. Then the patient died.
Undertaker H. H. Williams was sent
for, and tha body, after having been
prepared for burial, was brought to
Honolulu on the Sunday morning
train and placed in the old Waterhouse
family home on Nuuanu avenue. All
morning and afternoon up to the time
of the services, flowers from friends all
over the city arrived in great quantities.
Designs of various kinds decorat
ed with the most delicate of the sea
son's flowers, and fashioned by loving
hands, were numerous.
At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon the
parlor of the Waterhouse home, connected
directly with the sitting room,
where the casket was placed, was filled
with the many friends of the deceased
The verandas and the walks surround
ing the house were likewise occupied
there being insufficient room in the
parlor for the many win came to pay
their last respects to the departed.
The services were simple, but most
affecting. Rev. D. P. Birnie read from
the Bible, and then came the hymn
"Jesus, Lover of My Soul," sweetly
sung by a quartet composed of M-
Montague-Turner, Mrs. E. C. Damon,
Mr. H. F. Wichman and J. Q. Wood
Mrs. B. F. Dillingham
on the piano. Then prayer by Rev
H. W. Peck, rnd the quartet
"Sweet Byc-and-Bye," the solo in both
being by Mrs. lurn.v me ser
vice over, the pallbearers lifted the cas
ket gently and, passing out among the
many with bowed heads, placed it in
position in the hearse. Eight police
officers, with Lieutenant Chamberlain
in command, marched to the grave
yard by the side of the hearse.
At the H. Waterhouse family lot, in
Nuanu Cemetery, a short service was
held, and the body laid to rest in a
grave of flowers.
The pallbearers were: President
Dole, Minister Damon, Attorney Gen
eral Smith, B. F. Dillingham, P. C.
Jones, J. B. Atherton, W. W. Hall and
C. P. Iaukea.
Mrs. Henry Waterhouse (nee Julii
Hawkins Dimond) was 54 years of age
at the time of her death. She was born
February 10, 1844, in the old mission
house that used to stand in the place
of the present handsome home of Mr.
J. A. Hopper, King Street. Here she
was raised, together with President
Dole.
In March, 18C9, Julia Hawkins Dimond
married Mr. Henry Waterhouse,
and from that happy union came five
children three sons and two daughters.
One of the boys died when quite
young.
Mrs. Waterhouse was a lady of sterling
qualities, beloved by all who knew
her, on account of her generous mind
and a faculty of making every one
with whom she came in contact happier
for having met her. She was an
active worker for the charitable Institutions
of the city and her life as a
Christian lady had its Influence in the
surroundings; as a wife and mother
she was what the Almighty ordained
her to be.
MILLIKEN DEAD.
Was ii Menilwr of Mnlne Delegation
on Prominent Committees.
WASHINGTON, April 18. Seth L.
Milliken, representing in the House of
Representatives the Third district of
Maine, died tonight at 9:30 o'clock.
For sometimes Mr. Milliken had suffered
from a serious affection of the bron
chial tubes, which refused to yield to
treatment. Within a week more alarming
symptoms appeared, pneumonia
setting in and kindney and liver com-
plications manifesting themselves. He
did not take to his bed, however, until
last week, and, with a few intervals
when he seemed to rally for a time,
he continued to grow worse. During
the last few days his breathing was
very heavy and for most of the time
he was unconscious. Today he failed
rapidly and his physicians abandoned
hope. Death finally came at 9:30
o'clock. .
The death of Mr. Milliken marks the
first break in the Maine delegation
that has occurred for a long time, and
removes a striking figure from the
House. During the Recent Republican
Congresses Mr. Milliken has been been
the chairman of the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, and his
work on that committee brought him
in contact with persons from many
of the Important cities of the country.
He was tall of stature, spare In build,
with hair that had been whitening for
some years.
Indigestion
Loss of Strength
And. Appetite-
The testimony of Mr. R.
Dennis, Adelaide, South Australia,
who was cured by Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, is like unto that of
many thousands of others. He
writes:
"It is with very much pleasure
that I testify to the great benefit I
received from using your wonderful
blood-purifier. 1 was a sufferer for
years from indigestion, loss of
strength and appetite, and constipation.
My whole system seemed to
be thoroughly out of order. A friend
finally told me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
I followed his advice, though
feeling discouraged at the fruitless
results of other treatment, and I am
thankful to state that a few bottles
completely cured me."
The medicine that has cured
others will cure you.
