Notwithstanding the defeat of
the arbitration treaty in the United
States Senate, the pacific influence
of that document Is not entirely
lost. The fact remains that the
leading diplomats of Great Britain
and the United States succeeded in
reaching an understanding that all
matters of difference between the
two nations shall be submitted to
arbitration. After all Is said and
done the destiny of fraternal rela-
tons between nation and nation Is
in the hands of the diplomats, and
the influence of the document sign
ed by Secretary Olnev and Sir JUL
an Pauncefote will not be lost be-
cause the Senate failed to secure
the necessary majority for its
adoption as a national measure.
The moral power in the respective
foreign offices will be felt and re-
cognized as long as the conserva-
tive element rules. The diplomats
will exhaust every effort to secure
the peaceful settlement of troubles
whatever the clamor of the people
may be. A long step in the path
way of international friendship has
been made although the hopes of
arbitration treaty advocates have
not been fully realized.

Pacific increases; every year the
value of the Hawaiian Islands as
a port of call is enhanced; every
wear the nations of the world appre-
ciate more keenly the vantage
ground gained by the power that
owns and fortifes Pearl Harbor.
If land spectators there are, these
men are not asleep to the fact that
every year that goes by swells the
possibilities of their realization, and
they can well afford to sit by and
wink the other eye" when some
statesman announces that some one
will become a millionaire by the
sale Of land for a naval station.
The ownership and the improve
ment Of Pearl HarbOr is a national
proposition in which the wealth or
destitution of private individuals
should figure in about the same pro
minence as a flea on a church
steeple.

smile on learning that the police
department has taken the matter
in hand. But there is such a thing
as business like method of ac-
complishing good results. It is US
uallv the custom of well regulated
police departments to make public
announcement of rulings affecting
even thoughtless bicyclists and not
leave the absolute assertion of au-
thority to patrolmen. The public
will be pleased to hear that the
police authorities have declared
against road racing practice within
a radius of two miles of the police
station. There are plenty of I'M
frequented roads outside that limit
on which budding racers can

PEARL HARBoR sPECULAToRs.

During the discussion of the
Pearl Harbor appropriation in the
United States House OF Represen-
tatives, Congressman Hilborn an
nounced that all the land about
the harbor Is owned by specula-
tors, land Is held for the purpose
of being sold to the United States" "
He also stated that during his visit
to Hawaii a gentleman was pointed
out to him as a prospective mil
lionaire. "He owns Ford's Island
In Pearl Harbor; and it was stated
that that body of land was indis-
pensable to the United States; that
the United States would ultimately
have to buy that piece land for a
navy yard"
We presume the Congressman
considered this a very wise and
cIinching argument. Possibly it Is
to the man who fails to stop and
think five minutes. To others it
is simply a proposition for the
United States to throw away the
greatest naval stronghold in the Pa
cific Ocean, because some one is LA
bic to make a little money by the
sale of what land the United States
will require.
1t demonstrates to what falla-
cious heights some men can climb
in advocating measures that will
block American progress in the
Pacific. True it is that the United
States does not own foot of land
about Pearl Harbor; that the Unit
ed States would have to purchase
land of private individuals. We
are not aware, however, that such
purchase would create any new
millionaires IN this country. Fur
thermore, we fail to understand
how land purchase affect the prln-
ciple involved in the improvement
and fortifcation of Pearl Harbor
by the United States.

control the commerce of the Pacific

The. argument is or much the
same plan as that of possible hotel
prospectors, who might refuse to
build in Hawaii, because it would
attract people here and the business
houses of Honolulu might make a
little more money than they do
now. Or a steamship line might
refuse to touch at this port, be-
cause people here would make
money by selling coal or renting
land ON which the company might
erect coal pile. Every person
and every nation has right to
shut its eyes to possible advan-
tages, because some Individual
may gain an indirect profit. Why
did not the Congressman go further
and state that he saw the owner of
a railroad who would. become a
millionaire by carrying passengers
from the Pearl Harbor station to
Honolulu! Why not point to the
millionaire steamship owners who
would make money carrying sup
plies? There is no end of mil
lionaires that might be manufac
tured by arguments of this charac
ter. Why not condemn the whole
Hawaiian Islands for existing and
furnishing a calling station i'll the
mid-Pacifc where warships and
ships of commerce may call for
repairs or replenishing supplies for
further voyaging?
