MILITARY TRAINING.

VIII the war bring about a syste-
United States, is what great many
writer's are now asking. Some of the
papers, notably the Christian Regis
ter, commenting on the war, say
that the common schools will fur
nish us with better army than the
camp of the military lords" And the
Common schools of themselves do not
make armies. They may make good
material for armies, but that material
must be fashioned into shape in the
camp
That every citizen when he reaches
the age of manhood should receive
people will agree. \ nation that
knows how to use arms is not neces-
sarily one that goes necessarily TO war
but it is a great thing that citizens
should be able to protect themselves
and their property at all times, and
| it is not difficult to make a soldier out
of such material when it is necessary.
Germany has made use of a COM
| pulsory system, and SO do all the
great continental nations of Europe,
but Germany approaches more nearly
/ TO the United States, because she
/ takes her material from the common
schools, and though the school sys-
tens differ. the results in both cases
are remarkably intelligent men. A
democracy, however, is dead against
compulsory military training, and sys
tematic training cannot be obtained
otherwise. But there will be great
impetus towards voluntary training
and that will do pretty nearly all thai
is required for many years to come.

POPULAR LEADERS.

Popular leaders have a generic like
ness, however they may differ in their
aims and aspirations. To be pop
ular leader man must be in touch
with the populace, he must to some
extent mingle with them, or must
show himself TO them in some popu-
lar light Above all the popular lead
er must appear to give his confidence
to his party.
If we look into history we see this
repeated again and again. AS long
as Rienzi kept in touch with his party,
as long as his trumpet tones reused
the. hearts of his fellow citizens, as
long as he depended on them for as
sistance, his course was clear and he
kept rising upwards, but having risen
he began to SUPPOSE that it was he
who had done all, he became exclusive,
he forgot whence the source of his
greatness came, and he fell, as HUN
dreds, nay thousands, of lesser men,
who, rising not so high, fell in the
same way as he, though the fall made
not so great a crash, nor was as pict-
uresque.
Some men are able to keep their
popularity all their lives, but it is be-
cause they never forget upon what it
is based. Take Lincoln. Popular
from the log schoolhouse days to the
moment that he went to Ford's thea
ter, that is before political martyr
dom had cast a peculiar halo round
his brow. Why popular? Because he
was ever in touch with the people and
with his own political party. He was
here, there and everywhere among
them. On public occasions he was
ever addressing them on points which
thrilled their hearts. He was not Sc
cretive, he was ever taking them into
his confidence as far as it was posi-
bic, and he was ever taking his party
leaders into his confidence. He thus
had isolated men devoted to him, and
he had bodies of men devoted to him
Had ne begun to think that he, and
he only, was the Deus eX Machina, -
had he become secretive, had he de-
pended only on his own judgment,
great as might have been his achieve
ments, they would have lost the spon-
taneity of popularity.
Take Gladstone. There was a man
who made many serious mistakes in
his career, but he understood what
popularity depended upon, and though
his powers of mind We're gigantic, he
knew that his greatness was depend
ant upon popular support. He, too
was constantly taking the public into

The homestead law has done an
enormous amount of good, and many
a small land holder blesses the day
when it was passed. Tracts of land
that used to be waste and desolate are
now covered with pleasant homes and
sturdy families are growing up on
them. These families are being edu-
Gated in our common schools, and it
is among them that we will find some
of the foremost men and women of
the future

There is a great deal of grumblng
in yachting circles and it is said the
unsportsmanlilie methods of one own
er have pretty nearly killed the
amusement as far as yacht racing is
concerned. 1t is pity that the desire
for prize outweighs the true sports
manship which cares not for prizes,
save for the honor. II would be a good
thing to do away with money prizes
for all amateur racing. As fact no
amateur ought to race for money, the
bare fact that man has raced for
money throws him out of the anna.
teur grade in many places.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-09-19

his confidence His many lieutenants
in his party were in his confidence,
and were spreading his ideas ever
broadcast among the people. His
speeches, his letters, his post cards,
even his aN and his trees, all kept
him in the peoples mind and in the
peoples heart Though retired he
was not forgotten, and he never would
have been forgotten, for he was in
touch with people and party.
The American system fosters dem
ocratic ideas, but democratic ideas do
not consist of shaking hands with the
crowd, and wearing an affable smile
on some occasions. Democratic ideas
are fostered by getting at the hearts
and minds of the people; this is what
what Mckinley is doing now. 1t is
also by having devoted followers, and
YOU cannot have devoted followers I'M
less you know them yourself, unless
you discuss your plans with them and
ask their advice. 1t is easy sometimes
to gain followers for a moment in
times of crisis, but it is still easier to
lose them, when pride of place, or lit
tleness of intellect, make a man for
get what he owes TO those who made
him. When this frame of mind comes
he joins those hundreds and thousands
of which Rienzi. the Tribune, was a
brilliant, but unhappy example.

As we are now a. part of the United
States there is no legal objection to
the President visiting the Islands dur
ing his term of Office. Why should not
an invitation be sent him to make us
a visit. He is coming to the Yellow
stone, and most probably to San
Francisco. 1t sla short step here.
There is no harm IN the invitation,
and it win show clearly where we
stand. We are in the United States
and no mistake about it.
