CURIOUS DIPLOMACY.

On our first page we reproduce
from the Illustrated American an
article which, if it had not an
element OF danger in it, we should
call very amusing. AS the journal
referred TO has more than once act
ed as the mirror of the views alleged
to be entertained by DR., Hyde, who
in turn, it is alleged, is the brain
power behind our "funny little re.
public" it is quite permissible for
The INDEPENDENT to assume that the
article was inspired with the object
Of frightening the American people
into desire for the annexation of
our country.

Street Numbering.

The contract for numbering Homo
lulu's streets has been taken by a
number of the business men OF this
city, permission having been obtain
ed from the Government.
A correct series of numbers is
much needed here as the present
numbers, where there are any, are
misleading and utterly useless.
The method first inaugurated in
Chicago has been adopted so that
no matter how much the population
may increase in the future the num-
bers assigned need never be chang
ed. Every twenty-five feet space is
given a number, vacant lots and all.
All the even numbers will be upon
the mauka and Eva sides of streets
and odd numbers on the Waikiki
and makai sides.
Every person can afford to pur-
chase a number sign as the price is
merely nominal.

At Home, at Last.

While not unexpected, the death
of"Mother" Cooke, which took place
yesterday afternoon at $3.50 was a
painful shock to the many kamaainas
oil all classes who knew, respected
and loved the deceased venerable
lady.
Mrs. Juliette Montague Cooke was
born in Sunderland Mass. on the
18th of March, 1912, and was conse-
quently over "a years old, She ar
rived here with her husband Amos
Cooke by the Mary Frazier in April,
1887, and spent nearly 60 years in
these islands, devoting her life to
truly Christian work. With her
husband she conducted the famous
Royal School where children of the
high chiefs and portegees Of the
kings received an excellent education
mother" Cooke was sincere and
earnest Christian worker among Ha-
waiians, and selfshness and self in
terest were unknown to her noble and
modest character. Not a word was
ever breathed against the loveable
old lady even by those who are
hostile to the missionaries"
Mother Cooke leaves to mourn
their loss FIVE children, namely,
Charles and Frank Cooke and Mrs.
Atherton, Mrs. Turner and Mrs.
Sam Alexander. Only Frank Cooke
and Mrs. Turner are in Honolulu
the others being in California on
visit The deceased also leaves
twenty-five grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren.
The funeral will take place this
afternoon at 4 o'clock at Kawaiahao.

Departure of Dole.

President Dole, escorted by Major
Potter, and covered with leis, left by
the Claudine yesterday afternoon
under the booming OF cannon,
playing of the band and other "dem-
ocratic" display which used to be
the subject of ridicule and scorn on
the part of the Dole -Thurston-Smith
faction in the days Of the monarchy.
Very few people were at the wharf
to see the autocrat of all the Hawai-
ians off for Maui. Three Cabinet Min
listers, two colonels and the editors of
the official organs gathered and
shed parting tears over the neck of
the chief. The whistle blew and
the president and his tall major
were hustled through coal pile to
the stern entrance of the steamer,
and after doubling up were landed
among the Mongolian deck passen-
gers, eventually cropping their way
to the upper deck. The shore bat
terry fired salute as the steamer
passed out, and for two weeks we
will have to manage without a presi-
dent, or, what is yet more painful
the "maiah."

A vain hope, and one extremely
suggestive of a despairing cry for
help for lost and dying cause. At
the present time and, as the outlook
is, for some few years to come, the
United States will have quite enough
to do to maintain peace and har-
mony within her own borders. Uncle
Sans statesmen are not looking for
any entanglements outside of the
United States, and are certainly not
willing to grab this country in view
of the fact that when once obtained
it will have to be held against such
foreign powers as may desire it, in the
event of an international war into
which the United States may be
drawn before the century closes.

AGAIN THOSE CHINESE PER
MITS.

The INDEPENDENT has an idea that
the authorities who control the
Quarantine Station have good cause
to make an investigation. The Gus
tom House authorities have report
ed to the Chinese Bureau that four
OF the Belgic's Chinese passengers
deserted" from the Quarantine Sta
tion and have not been captured.
A private investigation made by this
journal leads The INDEPENDENT to
believe that these men were four of
Lau Chong's lunas, and that they
were passed through the gates by
inexperienced guards from the bar
racks, without passes or permits.
Lau Chong's influence appears to be
paramount, for we have yet to learn
that he and his agents, for heis again
safely out of the country, have
complied with the compromise SEN
tence of the Courts in connection
with the illegal importation of
coolies. AS far as The INDEPENDENT
can learn less than so of the hundred
and thirty men have departed the
country, in accordance with Lau
Chong's promise, and so far as proof
of departure is concerned there is at
present no evidence. To the average
reader of newspapers it was of very
little interest what the Chinese did
so long as they were controlled and
kept within bounds by the Planters
and the Government; but since the
advent of our "funny little republic"
there has been dangerous laxity of
control. These laborers permits are
being peddled out at Hongkong for
from $50 to $l35 each, the latter, it
is stated, was Lau Chong's price.
These men come here, sign or do
not sign, a contract, desert and then
join either the crowds in our towns,
or become loafers. 1t is understood
that by Saturdays steamer, the
Belgic, permits for several hundred
more laborers will go forward to
Hongkong, and the suggestion of
another Lau Chong error is in the
air. The INDEPENDENT is in a posi-
tion to state that the Government
has taken every precaution to defeat
the schemes and to prevent the
necessity of prosecution. Curious
ly enough the prosecution of such
cases invariably results in barren
victory for the Government. The
principle of the law is sustained, but
the Chinese ssgacity and cuteness
finally win their points.
