at Washington who see this note will
at once pause and reflect. and in doing
that should reach proper conclusions,
for Hawaii is very well-known at
Washington.
Japan Is TO have the greatest battle
ship afoat. This Is another handicap
10 the nation that is compelled by force
OF circumstances TO hold footing
reached by accident.
One thing here greatly to the advan-
tage of the dealers in real estate Is that
they are not compelled to await spring
time, with It's building weather. 1t is
always spring time here.
II Captain Lydig thinks some blind
DIRECTORS are required for the service
the sign post TO know the right town
Of supply when he reaches 1t during
his food supply tour of the Islands.
There appears to be a sort of a dead
lock in the harbor improvement situa-
ton. The blame will be placed some
day. In the meantime anchorage
space Is contracting and the lack of
wharf room causes loss, confusion and
delay.
One of those oddities that constantly
develop in both official and business
life comes to the surface in a marked
manner in the discovery that with all
the trouble taken ashore in searching
for tubercular stock. there has been no
inspection or test of stock on arrival
from the States.
\ dispatch from Cuba says the kill
ing OF Cuban soldier by an officer as
an incident in disbanding the insur-
gent forces, had a good moral effect"
lThe soldier had refused to disband. The
excess Of the power of such moral ef-
feet" will. without doubt, in time reach
an officer or two.
The legal contest over stock shares
in the new Waialua plantation affords
the attorneys opportunity for about as
fine sparring and careful study as did
the Chinese habeaus corpus matter
The laymen who watch courts always
take interest in case requiring real
effort on the part of the lawyers.
II the expansion issue Is not brought
TO a determination in great hurry.
the many thousands of volunteer SOL
diers sent to the new outposts will be
home in time to talk and vote. It is so
good an issue that the hope must be
general for a development of lasting
qualities.
The luck OF Chinese in Hawaii holds
out. There is quite in evidence the
feature Of merit in their good fortune
in these Islands. In the half century
and odd years that the Chinese have
been here in numbers they have not
been guilty of the lawlessness that
their town at San Francisco, for in
stance, produces in a week.
At the present time the prohibition
forces are simply laundering about on
the verge OF the coming conditions.
The years will develop here either a
strong anti-liquor organization that
will never be quite strong enough to
win, or an alliance between the pro-
hibitionists and one of the great par
tries, thus insuring reform.

In undertaking to discuss Education
in Hawaii" the Young Mems Research
Club is graphing with a problem al
most limitless in its features. There
are practical points that can be sug-
gested. What is the educational obli-
CATION of Hawaii to the Chinese and
japanese? What Is the education that
a Hawaiian needs to succeed in Ha-
wall?
Your experienced practical printer Is
equal to about any emergency that
may emerge out OF any occasion. The
Bounding Billow Is the sailors paper
on the Flagship Olympia and the last
number has a plain enough wood cut
showing the operations of the fleet in
Manila bay on May Day. The engrav-
ing tools of the artist were two sail
needles.
1t is safe TO venture into the future
far enough to predict that Captain
Lydig will discover that the Hawaiian
Islands are capable of supporting a
million or so of people. The captains
trip, 1t is hoped will result in stimulat-
ing the food producers. The latter
claim, however, that the only incentive
they require is lower freight rates to
Honolulu.
The Chinese are noted for being nice
and considerable in doing business
amongst themselves. A long-haired
son OF the Orient, ON leaving the estab-
lishment of a countryman, was slightly
injured by a yerandah that fell with
