The visit of President Dole to the
saloons, says the Attorney General, is
liable to do certain amount of good.
The visit has been considerably criti-
cized from various points of view, but
as the Attorney General points out,
the President was DESTROYS to see for
himself how the saloons were con-
Quoted. In some he found that the
men who conducted them regarded
their business as a perfectly legiti-
mate one, and he agreed that the State
in issuing licenses made itself part
ner in the business. Others told the
President that the business was a low
and dirty one. The impression made
upon the President. according to the
Attorney General, was that some who
conducted it made it low and dirty
That is, that the remedy was in then
own hands, and it was respectable OF
low, just as the people who run il
choose to make it, The law is a great
and noble profession, but the law car

what is known as the shyster lawyer

Now that the ladies of Honolulu
have definitely taken the matter up
there is no doubt that all the soldier
boys will get their Thanksgiving din
ner. As has already been stated in
The Star quite a number have been
invited to private families and will have
a regular homelile Thanksgiving, but
there are some soldiers who have not
made friends among the towns peo-
pie, and who should be provided for.
Mrs. Dole is eminently the proper
person to call the ladies together to
discuss ways and means, and it is to
be hoped that her call will bring to-
gether a good gathering of ladies tc
help in the good work.

\ WARNING.

The value of instruction in modern
languages is being more and more
made patent to the people of the Unit
ed States as their commercial inter
ests begin to enlarge and they begin
to push their trade into various direc-
tons.
Consul Warner, who is stationed at
Leipsic, sounds a note of warning up
on this subject which is eminently
timely. He contrasts the Germans
with the Americans and says the Ger
man commercial travellers can read
and speak the language of the people
with whom they have trade relations,
while many American commercial
travellers are unable to make known
their wants, much less carry on a bus
mess conversation. This naturally
restricts the trade to certain firms,
who have people who can converse in
English.
The consul also points out that a
very large percentage of German inn
ports to and exports from the United
States is carried on either by German
citizens or German born American cit
liens. He adds that it cannot be too
strongly impressed upon the minds of
those interested in commerce that the
first thing to be learned is to be able
TO communicate in an intelligent way
with prospective customers and this
can only be done by study and appli-
cation.
There is much food for thought in
what the Consul says. To any one ac-
quainted with German business men
their power of using fluently many
of the modern languages is very
striking, while it is equally true that
the American is woefully deficient in
this particular With the extended
commercial relations which are now
opening out there will be more and
more a demand for men who have
the power of conversing and writing
one or more languages other than
their own. The demand for those who
can speak Spanish will at once be

\ PRINCELY EDITOR.

There is much detail coming out
about Prince Bismarck. DR.. Busch's
book was noticed in these columns a
few days ago. This gave none too am
liable a view of the Iron Chancellor,
and now the Bookman has published
an article from the pen of Henry W..
Fischer, which shows the inner work
ings of the Prince and the German
press.
From this it appears that Bismarck
was practically the editor in chief of
the Cologne Gazette, Berlin Post,
North German Gazette, the Hambur-
ger Nachrichten and the Berlin Polit-
ical News. From 1867 to 1890, the date
of his retirement, the Prince eXpend-
ed annually upon the press a sum eX-
ceeding two million marks. This was
system of manufacturing public
opinion wholesale and one can hardly
credit the truth of the statements
made by Mr.. Fischer, though he was
resident in Berlin and intimately as
ISOLATED with the press.
OF the methods employed the follow
| ing is summary: Bismarck used to
devote many hours day to his edito-
rial MISUNDERSTANDING articles for
this or that paper, debating word for
word editorials, or writing paragraphs
and squibs in his own inimitable and
scorching phrase. Often he directed
the preparation of articles in the form
of letters from special correspondents
in various European capitals, which
were mere frauds, but which were al
printed just the same. These articles
were sent daily to the newspapers il
which he wanted them to appear, anc
they were invariably printed as bona
fide editorial opinion, or Legitimate
correspondence or news gathered il
the usual way. These journals on Bis
marck's list varied greatly in charact
= err. That was necessary for his par
poses. \ respectable high class papel
like the Cologne Gazette was suitab;,
for some purposes, but not for others
For example, the Chancellor reserved
for the journal of the lowest, mos
sensational class, his scurrilous, ven
omous attacks upon persons who has
incurred his displeasure."

The Samoans do not seem in any
hurry to elect their king. There are
two great families in Samoa, the Tu-
qua and the Maletoa, each with a can
didate in the field, and the rival fami-
lies are utterly irreconcilable. The
curious position down there is that
the chief justice is practically a
greater power than the king, and that
the disputing candidates will probab-
ly end in laying their claims before
him. The Samoan papers strongly
deprecate the appeal to force which it
seems is likely to be made. There are
evidently foreigners in Samoa who
would like to see a civil war in order
to make their own gain out of it.

great, but commerce will demand
many more languages than Spanish.
Commercial education on the main
land, and in our islands, will have to
include far more work in the line of
languages that has, up to the present,
been done. Adaptibility to changed
conditions is an American character
istic. We must adapt ourselves to he
commercial change.

about noon today. The victim was An

younger brother, started out 10 search for
him. For several hours their efforts

home when thF younger brother, a lad Of
yearg, almost stumbled over bis broth

Its appearance left no doubt as 10 the

which had been dealt by the assassins.

bottle OF oatsup and . can OF baking
powder. which he had purchased for his
parents on his way home last night, and
a short distance further away was a
bread ticket. On a post 20 feet distant
was his hat.
A post-mortem examination revealed
the fact that death resulted from stran-
and that an unspeakable crime
had been committed before the murder.
II seems probable that more than one
man was engaged in the crime, as the
boy was above the average size for his
age and one man. unless very powerful,
