MoHAMMED wEnn's STYLE OF ARGUMENT

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your issue Of yesterday contains a letter
from Mohammei Alexander Russell Webb. the
logic OF which It IS difficult follow. but whose
evident design is to reverse the judgment OF Chris
tendon regarding the colossal crimes OF which the
Sultan of Turkey has been convicted. 1t is
matter Of grave dlsappointment however. that Dir.
Webb. though obviously conscious OF the isolation
OF his position. displays symptom of feeling the
stupendousness OF the task he assumes in attempt
ing to controvert the strong conviction Of nearly
the entire civilized world. The view OF the we'll
authenticated barbarl,ies in Armenia which Mr.
Webb would combat Is the view held by men like
Gladstone and Depew. whose intelligence and sin
cerity not be impeached by any obscure gentle
men from Ulster Park. y. y.
TO show the error of this verdict Of cvlizat tion ii
would require overwhelming facts already
known, accompanied by unimpeacha6e proofs Of
their truth. Mr.. Mohammed Webb reci;es IA his
long and confused letter certain facts and alleged
facts for which he makes reference TO any
liable authority; neither does ne plead any special
qualification in support OF his presumption and ar
rogant assertions. The burden Of his long recital
is that THE Armenians have never been oppressed
by the Turkish Government nor nave they been
niassacred prosecuted on account Of their
religious belief" This sentence il the concluding
prf jositlon which ne has desired 10 present.

naked allegations contained in his letter may be

In rHE nrsYalence Of Buddhism

IL THE prevalence OF Buddhism
NAV be taken as q criterion the
Coreans are superior to the Japan
ese conquerors. The Buddhists
are said to exercise much less in
fuence among the common people
than in Japan. There is no temple
in Seoul and most of the Buddhist
temples are in the mountains or
on the hills. The Methodist school
in the capital has more than forty
pupils while the membership OF
this church numbers over three
hundred. The Presbyterian is said
to have one hundred and thirty
members in the capital, and they
have about thirty pupils in their
school. Upwards of ten mission
aries reside in Seoul, the greatest
number belonging to the Methodist
and Presbyterian churches.

SOME men, We may we'll say
many men, do not include cheat
ing the Government in their cate
CORY of objectionable sins. In fact,
the man who avoids the sharp in
vestigation Of the Customs official is
inclined to congratulate himself on
his success as q man Of business
ability in getting something for
nothing. The many dollars that
have been lost to the Government
through the dishonesty of impor-
5ers is shown to a degree by the
money saved during the short term
of the Customs appraiser. The
results thus far also speak well for
the administration of the Depart
ment of Finance under Minister
Damon, and for the officials of the
Custom House under whose per-
sonal supervision this work is car
ried on. When a few liberal fines
have been collected, a most salu-
tary fear Of the Customs depart
ment will exist in the hearts of a
certain class of smugglers, and the
public Golfers will profit thereby.

POETRY ON A HIGHER PLANE.

1t ia hardly to be wondered that
the tourist who visited this country
in former years and comes back to-
day, says "the poetry of Hawaii
has left it never to return life has
come down to the plain business
proposition of other countries"
This is true to certain extent and
to the person searching for fun
seems without question. The
poetry of the nation as it has prev
iously attracted the lover of the
unconventional, consisted princip-
ally in the general abandon, the
happy-go-lucky spirit of the people
from the least to the greatest.
Business and the conduct of the
government appeared more as a
pass time which catered more or
less directly to pleasure. Money
came and went easily, personal
debts accumulated rapidly, and a
general air of "sing tonight for to-
morrow we die" pervaded public
and private life to a great extent
1t was this spirit that led Mark
Twain to characterize the govern
ment as a toy kingdom. The tran
sient resident liked it of course, as
he experienced in his short stay
surroundings that obtain in no
other nation of the world.
So far as this phase of life is con-
cerned, the poetry of the nation
has left it never to return, and it is
a Godsend to the Hawaiian citizen
that such is the case. The sue
cesses of the adventurer and politi-
cal schemer have shown it to be a
class of poetical life at once deadly
to the moral and. financial welfare
Of the nation, aud ultimately con-
ducive to general deterioration
which must result to people who
look only to the benefits of pass
ing day or hour.
The poetry of the country, how
ever, as expressed in its natural
beauties, and its thoroughly cos
mopolitan population bordering on
the picturesque-s miniature world
OF nations, living in peace and
quiet, each retaining distinct ma
tonal characteristics, yet pleas
antly mobilized and developed on

broad principles Of hurnanity-wIi!

ment founded on sound business
principles, business will be con-
Quoted as business, and the poet
ca rythm Of the nations
life sounded along the lines
of moral and intellectual
development which lead to the
appropriation of our environments
for the consumation Of higher
ideals in private and public life.
The physical beauty of the coun-
try under the hands Of the land

expenditure of public and private
funds III parks and drives may bo

In circulation but add materially
to the pleasure and comforts of the
rank and file of the Hawaiian peo-
pie. Fortunately for coming gen.
erations the idealizing in thought
and expression of the life Of the
country in days to come will be- or
a higher plane than that which has

the minds of some people here
during the past two or three
years, that the British Lion
would put its paw on the
Islands, and force people to be
Britons when they wanted to
be something else, anything
else in fact than citizens of an
independent government. If
we draw the correct inference
from the dispatches received
by the Warrimoo, England
will act in concert with the
United States in so far as any
Hawaiian policy is concerned.
Metaphorically speaking the
Lion and the Eagle will roost
on the same tree and from an
exalted perch will watch their
respective subjects on Hawaii
with their usual care. The
strangest part of it all appears
to be in the fact that England
will do in the matter of polite
al prisoners just what the
United States does; which, on
the score of age at least, looks
very much like the tail wagg-
ing the dog.
There are windmills and
windmills, some of them re-
volve in the wind and some
require the assistance of a
steam engine. You can find
both kinds in this country but
the Aermotor is the one that
goes with the wind. You take
the sort that is erected on the
Insane Asylum grounds and
the wind has very little effect
upon it; that's the kind that
requires the assistance of a
steam engine. Look at the
one a little further on at
Kamehameha school or yet a
little further still at Luther
Wilcox's poi plantation and
you find Aermotors that run
in light winds or heavy, and
pay the owners a good re-
turn for adopting something
We sell Aermotors,
lots of them, and the people
who use them are satisfied;
people who use other makes
of windmills are not.
Among the good things for
sugar planters nothing is bet
ter than the sugar land nipple
we are selling. Take
the cane land Cultivators for
we have sold a
number of these to Hawaiian
planters, and have even ship
ped them to New Zealand,
where they are used with the
greatest satisfaction. The
Fertilizer Distributor, in this
same line of implements,i is one
Of the best things a manager
can have on a plantation be-
it saves both. labor and
material. One man with one
of these distributors can &C
complish in one day the work
Of nine men and save money
besides in material.
Another equally good ma
chine IS the Stubble Digger, !
also in use on most of the {
plantations on Hawaii, where it
IS giving the planters more
10y than they have ever before
from the use of
an agricultural implement.
We have a large stock of
these articles and we expect
to sell them. Planters are be-
ginning to realize that thew
cannot afford to do without
them.
