A writer in the Nashville America

A writer in the Nashville American,
commenting upon the influence of the
Presbyterian Church upon the early
life OF this country, makes the follow
ing observation: 1.-THE Presbyterian
Church in colonial days contained O
largo element Of Scotch end Scotch
Irish, who were either forcibly ban.
ished from their homes or became
voluntary exiles to escape intolerable
expressions. They brought with them
hatred of despotism and an unquench-
able thirst for liberty. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that, as Bancroft
says, the first voice publicly raised in
America to dissolve all connection
with Great Britain came from the
Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. The first
body to declare for open resistance
was the Presbyterian synod of Phila-
delphia, and the first declaration OF
Independence was that put forth by
the Presbyterians Of Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina. Having
helped to precipitate the conflict, they
helped to fight it out. In the battle
Of the Cowpens General Morgan, who
commanded, aud General Pickens,
who made all the arrangements for the
battle, were Presbyterian elders, and
nearly all under their command says
trustworthy writer, were Presby-
terians. In tho battle of Kings Noun
tain Colonels Campbell, Williams,
Cleveland, Shelby, Sewer, Hamilton
and Major James were all Presbyterian
elders, and the body of their troops
were collected from Presbyterian set
Elements These two battles were of
no mean Importance, because they
marked tho turn in the tide Of war.
1t would entitle the Presbyterians to
some recognition on an occasion like
this to mention the one fact that old
Hickory ended his great career as an
elder in tho Presbyterian Church. He
was typical Scotch Irishman, we'll
fitted when once turned in the right
direction to illustrate the doctrine Of
the perseverance of the saints" Aside
from the active part which Presbyter-
ians took in the struggle for independ.
ence, adds the Atlanta Constitution, il
is also q fact that our system of gov.
eminent is based largely upon the
model of the Presbyterian Church.
This is due, perhaps, to the command
ing influence of Rev. John Wither-
spoon, who figured with conspicuous
prominence in the early affairs of this
country. The State of Tennessee since
the beginning has been a strong and
active centre Of Presbyterianism, and
the splendid growth which the COM
monwealth has enjoyed during the
past century of its Statehood is due in
large measure to the sturdy character
of its Presbyterian citizenship.

land near the city. 1t did not wait
for other denominations to take
the lead. 1t knew that if it de-
sired to hold and extend its power
lit must do more than give religious
training TO men. 1t was that the
Young Catholics were at a disad-
vantage in the Protestant Univer-
sites. 1t could give no prestige
of University education to its own
people. 1t saw, that ambitious
young men, born in the faith,
could only be kept in the faith,
by placing them where the most
advanced teachings could be OBJ
tanned, and the name of great
University would secure. social adj
vancement. As this church is
''the best business corporation of
the world" it has acted with the
energy which is found when con
centrated power exists.
Having established a great Uni
versity for young men, it turns its
attention to the education of
young women. 1t meets Ameri-
can conditions, with American
methods. 1t does in America that
which it does not do in Europe.
1t sees that the young women who
desire the higher education, will
drift away to the institutions of
other denominations, if they can
not get it in the church. 1t does
not attempt to keep them in the
old ways, by its own great power,
because it knows that, in these
days, it will be impossible to do so.
It meets the issue fully and
promptly. 1t does not stop to quar-
rel with American progress, but
undertakes to keep the church
abreast, so far as it can.

JAPAN AND THE SEA POWER.

No book published during the
century, it is said by men in a
position to know about it, has had
such powerful, direct and IN
slant effect on the governments,
which maintain large navies, as
Capt. Mahan's Sea Power"
1t brings out with startling
effect, the unltounded develop
ment of English commerce,
through the power of her navy,
during the last hundred years.
The facts it presents, were gen
orally known to statesmen, but it
remained for Capt. Mahan to ar
range them, interpret them, and
present them in vast pictures with
most brilliant and truthful color
ing.
One of the London journals
says It's effect in England, has been
to open the purse strings held by
the House of Commons, and cause
that body to generously meet the
most extravagant demands for the
increase Of the British navy. That
navy and the British commerce
are, in fact, partners in trade. The
fleets are not costly ornaments.
They make it possible for the
British merchant to live among
savages and at the same time, be
protected in life and property. If
he is assailed, gun boat appears

boxes in this country New York is the
only city which surpasses it in the
number of factories, and the annual
value of the product turned out There
are between 80 and 40 paper box fac

THE GENERAL REPORT of rain
throughout the Islands has relieved
Stockholders of heavy load of care.
Just how long this relief will last is
another matter, and they should be
prepared for recurrence of the recent
dry weather and not follow in the
footsteps of the man who owned a
house with leaky roof and permitted
it to remain so, giving as a reason that
in dry weather no repairs were needed
and when wet weather set in he could
not mend it.
The superiority of the AERMOTOR
over all other windmills is now uni
versally admitted We are not going
to say word about them, however, be-
cause we believe in the old saying:
"By their fruit shall We know them -
and any one who has seen one of them
at work will appreciate their value.
All we have to say is that we have a
new shipment of them in all sizes, i.e:
8, 10, IL and 16 feet, both geared and
for pumping.
With the geared Aermotor you can
lift water, grind corn, cut cane tops
and run a lathe.
We have also Aermotor Stock Tanks.
These Tanks never leak, and there are
no mudholes around them. They
ship nested, and are just as sure to
| drive the wooden tank out of existence
as the Aermotor was sure to drive the
wooden windmill out at it's advent.
There are many reasons why this gal
vanized Tank is superior. 1t is light,
ships nested, is easy to handle, requires
no setting up, never leaks and does
not dry and fall down if all the water
gets out of it, but, of course, where the
Aermotor is used, this need never hap
pen, as it runs with so little wind that
a dry tank is hardly known. These
Tanks are feet in length, width 80
inches, and capacity barrels.
We have just sent a dozen of them to
honolulu and Kahuku Ranches.
For pumping we have the Gould &
Krough Triple-Action Pumps in all
sizes, and the Aermotor Siphon, Suct-
ton and Force Pump, exceedingly
strong and heavy, and admitted
throughout the United States to be the
beau ideal" of a pump.

The new departure of the Rom
an Catholic Church seems to be a
perilous one, from its own stand
point. It holds men, by author
ity." It tolerates no departure
from essentials. 1t draws about
itself sacred circle, and within
it, it demands absolute faith and
obedience.
1t now undertakes to teach the
sciences, as fully as they are taught
in the broadcast schools. But it
tries to carry with its instruction,
and create belief in its own creed
and purposes. Will it succeed?
The broadcast thinkers of the
Protestant faith commend It's new
and significant change of front.
They claim the great University
will educate men out of the faith,
that so long as men are trained to
investigate, and think about ma
terial things, they will discover the
possible errors of the church, and
finally abandon it. This is, of
course, partisan view. The
Holy Father, and his associates
believe in immutable principles of
the church. So far, they have
succeeded in increasing its follow
ing on American soil, beyond their
expectations. But in its evolution
it may be at its zenith.

80 "a
It is said that Capt. Mahan's
book is known by heart in the Jap
anese navy. japanese statesmen
look into it, in order to obtain sug-
gestions for the development of
their own commerce.
But an incorrect inference is
apt to be drawn from the history
of the British navy, and the Jap
anese may fall into an error. 1t
was British commerce, which
created the navy. The navy did
not create the commerce, but pro
tected and extended it. The error
into which the japanese may fall
is, that they may assume that
the building of a great fleet
will in some way, build up great
commerce. They will discover, in
due time, that the real service of
the British fleets, was in the past,
when vast continents and sections
of land, were open to occupation
and discovery, and the merchant
needed gun behind him. These
fleets now serve to protect the large
acquisitions of the nation, and pro
tect them against European pow
ers who are anxious to divide the
worlds trade with them. The
policy of the United States has
been heretofore to avoid any ac
QUESTION of distant territory, and
therefore, avoid the need of great
navy. 1t is the very slight and
reasonable modification of this pol
icy, which creates the discussion
about the annexation of Hawaii
When the japanese understand
the situation, as they will in du,
time, they will, in the opinion Of
many of the European statesmen
abandon an aggressive foreign pol
icy, get rid of the heavy burden o
fleets, which produce nothing, ane
consume much, and confine them
selves to a complete home defense
