TIMELY TOPICS

The arrival of the last Australia"
was greeted with sigh of relief from
the whole community. The unusually
long interval between mails had made
people quite anxious, and rumors of
war and other political disturbances
were flying as thick as leaves in Val
lambrosa. The encouraging news of
the probable passage of the Ding
ley bill, imposing duty on all
foreign sugars while preserving for
Hawaii nei the advantages of the Reel
procity Treaty. gladdened the hearts
of all, planters as we'll as merchants,
who predict new era of prosperity
and progress for these beautiful Isles
of the Pacific. News was also brought
of the knocking out of Champion Jim
Corbett by his sturdy opponent, Fitz-
simmons.

THE JUNE RACES.

From the way the signs are
pointing just at the present time,
there Is every evidence that the
time honored Eleventh OF June
races may 90 by default this year.
Just what are the causes of the
unusual apathy displayed this year
we are unable to state; possibly
they are too numerous to mention.
But whatever the causes, the effect
Is apparent, and something should
be done to stir up the public. We
know Of no reason why the time
honored custom of celebrating the
Eleventh Of June should die out
There are many people III this
country who enjoy honest horse
racing, and they are waiting anX-
iously for some word of encOurag-
ment from those usually having Il
hand in this holiday event. Ger
tainly Honolulu has never gone
racing crazy" the crowds gather
ed at the track are always orderly
and so far as the general public Is
aware, the contests are won on the
merits of GOOD horse flesh, and
good training.
If differences of opinion exist,
regarding the management of pre-
vious events, it is time the factions,
if factions there are, should get to-
oether and reach some compro-
mise that will result in making
tie day a success. If it is money
that Is wanted, that problem might
soon TO be solved. We are not
aware that those who usually take
the leading part at the races are
short of funds. We understand
there are plenty of good horses in
the country, and if the men who
have the management of affairs
will take Il personal active interest
in seeing to it that races are won
on the merits of horses, they may
be sure of a good attendance.
1t has been maintained in the
United States that horse races can
not be kept up without the pool
box and gambling ring. Possibly
there are those who feel that our
strict laws have killed the sport
here. Such an idea ought never
be allowed to gain a foothold.
There Is no prettier or more eXcit-
ing sport in the whole category
than trotting and running races
and we do not believe the time has
come when Hawaii must admit
that the Eleventh of June races
must be given mp, simply because
our people will not submit to the
Infusion of degrading influences
that accompany such events in
other countries.

can be found for the call of the

THE JAPANESE ATTITUDE.

Ais comments Oh the attitude OF
the japanese toward these Islands.
The people OF Japan regard the
place as a financial Paradise, and
very naturally they desire to see it
annexed to Japan. This sentiment
IS perfectly manifest III the press,
and IN the common talk OF the
farming class. Any land which
will bring the common laborer an
average OF five hundred per cent.
In wages, must he fascinating IN
deed, and if there are no obstacles
in the way, an ownership OF such
land would be very desirable.
There Is, therefore, a general de
sire on the part of Japanese people
TO possess Hawaii, but not for any
political purpose. 1t is regarded
only as a source of profit, just as we
regard an island with guano de
pOsits.
The Government of Japan, on
the contrary, has studiously, care
fully, and honestly abstained from
taking any measures whatever to-
wards securing any political con
troll of these Islands. 1t has ac-
cepted the unwritten agreement of
the great Powers that Hawaii be
longs to the United States" Any
one who asserts the contrary has
not closely studied the situation
In these eventful days, let lis stand
on the facts, if they are to be OBJ
tained. Every movement made by
us on lines that are not truthful
Injuries our cause. n false state
ment is like a nail dropped into
fine machinery.
The Government of Japan has
been, and Is, more friendly to us
than we are aware 1t does not lose
It's temper, when we, in our fear,
cry out: NO more Japanese i'm

''You urged this immigration.
You are prospering by it today. Ii
we recalled our people, you would
soon 90 to the wall. Now, fright
ened at your own acts, scared at
your own wholesale Importation of
our laborers, YOU suddenly shut
down the door arbitrarily, and
then tell the people OF the United
States that we, the Government of
Japan, want to annex YOU. Is this
fair!.''
Moreover, it may say: IF the
emigration of our people to your
Islands tends to prevent their
Americanization, you are perfect
ly justified in lawfully preventing
it, and in telling the American
people that our people are swamp
ing you, and you have the right to
ask their instant and powerful aid
in making their civilization dom
inant. We will 90 SO far as to even
aid you in suffering from the con,
sequences of your reckless immi-
grations of the past; you can't
have the cake and eat it, too. If
YOU have five japanese for one
American on the Islands, brought
by your own agency, don't accuse
US OF sinister purposes etc. Ii hu-
man beings count in this world,
you must accept it, sooner or later,
as a political fact. If YOU fear an
inundating wave of our people,
meet it boldly, frankly, and with
craftsmanship. 1t Is nothing to us
if every japanese in Hawaii re-
turned home. But understand
this, when YOU yourselves create
a raging thirst among our people
for the wine and honey of your
Islands, it is not an easy matter for
lis. the Government, To remove
that thirst"

The Propagation of Shrubs and Plants.

Ihe propagation of SHRUBS and Plants.
Herbaceous plants are propagated
by division of the roots. Cut down
through a clump with a sharp spade,
and you get mass of roots, thickly set
with growing points. This mass can
generally be broken apart in such man.
ner as to form many small plants, each
one having root enough to nourish it.
In this way it is easy to increase ones
stock of this class of bowers. The old
plants are benefited by such division.
Shrubs, as n general thing, throw up
shoots or suckers about the main stem.
Some of these are SO closely connected
with the main stem that it is not pcs
sible to remove them and have any root
attached, while others are not attached
to the old stem, but are sent up di-
rectly from the roots. The lilac is an
illustration of the latter class, which is
easily propagated by cutting the shoots
or sprouts away from the old plants,
generally with strong roots attached.
Shrubs that do not sucker or sprout
freely, can be propagated by layering.
This process consists in bending down
branch, preferably one that starts
from the old plant near the ground,
and inserting portion of it in the
earth without removing it from the
parent plant. AT that part of the branch
where the bend is to be which is to go
underground, half break it, or cut it
about halfway through. This not only
makes it easier to insert the branch
properly in the soil, but it assists it in
the formation of roots. Where the cut
or break is, the flow of sap will be ar
rested, aud callus will form from
which, later on, roots will be sent out.
Meanwhile the sap from the parent
plant circulates through that portion
of the branch not cut or broken, thus
atfording nourishment while roots are
being formed. In this way one can
propagate plants whose cuttings sell
dom root when completely separated
from the old stock.
If it is desired to increase the stock
of peonies, dig dig down at the side of
the old plant until some of the tubers
are laid bare. These can be cut away
carefully without interfering in the
least with the old plant. The peony
resents any serious disturbance of its
roots.
Lilies, and other bulbous plants, are
propagated by removal of the little off
sets or bulbs that form about the old
ones-The Housewife.
