BOBR SENTIM sNT OR BRITISH
NECESSITY.

Rapid and complete as has been the
almost unbroken list of Boer victories,
the British only clinch their fists the
harder and prepare to give UP more
more vital blood of the nation in main
tanning the integrity of the Empire.
The stubborn and splendid fight which
the Beers are making arouses the adj
miration and sympathy of every neu-
trail people. Sentiment naturally tends
toward the smaller nation of simple
and hardy people who are giving their
lives freely to preserve their honest
Interpretation of justice.
On the other hand, the free hand
with which Great Britain pours the
best blood of the nation into the hor-
rible vortex of war begins to carry to
the public mind q more clear apprecia-
ton that the British must carry the
day or suffer retrograde movement
that will shake the empire to its foun-
dalton. Great Britain Is sending into
the battle front men Of the same char
acter that gave strength to the armies
and added ferocity to the battles of our
Civil War. In the regiments from the
British Isles, from Canada and Aus
tralia the rank and file we find the
same blood and same high character
Of the volunteer forces of the United
States. Whether or no political man
ipulation or financial greed brought on
the war, the struggle from the British
standpoint has resolved itself into a
fight for the life of the nation.
Sympathetic sentiment goes to the
Beers defending their homes. Con-
sideration of the dire results to all ma
tons IL British power is broken tells
us that British defeat will usher in a
sad and bloody epoch at the opening of
the century. The fate of more than
one nation hangs on the turn of the
scale in South Africa.
Ties of blood and the friendship
growing out OF incidents consequent
to the Spanish war, place the United
States on the side of the friendly neu-
trails. These considerations weigh
heavily in tempeIing the public mind.
Blood is thicker than water, but we
have a liberal smattering of Dutch as
well as English blood. The vital point
in American friendship Is and will be
national self interests. Guarding
against European aggression In our
continent and facing European antag-
onisms in the Orient, the United States
cannot view with Indifference loss of
British prestige as world power.
British necessity appeals more strong
ly to national counsels than does Boer
sympathy. America has her own bad
ties to fight I'm future days and she can
Ill afford to have her right bower
weakened.

cAYPLESS AND HARTWELI..

A correspondent who would like to
support the Dole government but can
not on account of its transition period
record, remarks: "Caypless, in attack
ing the methods of annexation, is
likely to do the country as much harm
as Special Agent Hartwell in working
out the Dole government schemes" 1t
Is really q question of which will ac-
complish the most injury, an attack
upon the methods by which annexation
was secured or attempts to excuse the
policy of Hawaii's Executive since an
nexation took place. Caypless hits the
local regime in its most vulnerable
point-the labor policy-and then
plays to the sentimental gallery in
such manenr as seems to him best to
create politics in the interests of his
client Wilcox. The funny part of 1t Is
that the officials and their friends
should seek the Reputation of Cay
pless and then hold up Hartwell as an
epitome of all that is wise and best
for the country. Attack upon the
methods by which annexation was Sc
cured is largely a matter Of personal
opinion to which Caypless as free
agent gives free personal scope. Cay
pless ,bespeaks Ne native Hawaiian
sentiment toward the Dole govern
ment. Hartwell, also personal repre-
sentative, seeks to retain the Dole gov
ernment's grip on official power.
Statements of both Caypless and
Hartwell show conclusively that Ha-
wall needs strictly American govern
ment, administered by Americans who
have an honest sympathy for the Ha-
waiians and do not fear, as does the
present government. to grant the peo-
pie the full rights Of American citizens.

uses. This quibbling over the defini-
ton of an emergency is sheer nom
sense. The necessity for the liberal
expenditure of money exists, has ex-
listed for months. and let up on the
quarantine for few days did not in
any way lessen the necessity of for
warding vigorous work of letting light
and air into the crowded recesses of
Chinatown.
Call the Council of State and appro-
pirate the money. Should there be no
further appearance OF plague in the
next six weeks or six months the ne
cessities of the hour as brought to
light in Chinatown or in the water
supply will be none the less pressing
or less worthy immediate and active
attention. Honolulu must ever be
watchful against the introduction of
epidemics from the Orient. and to
practice short sighted economy now is
merely to put off the evil day. Homo
lulu commands first attention because
il is the principal port of call, but the
council of State should also place
liberal sums of money in the hands Of
the municipal authorities of Hilo and
every town of any size on all the ISL
ands.
Do the work thoroughly while the
money is at hand. Remove the temp
tation--which will be a strong one

Like a runaway child, sick unto
death, with the turmoil and strife
which have followed upon the deser-
ton of the kindly influences of home,
mankind is returning to Mother Earth
seeking again the rich 5gustenance of
her bosom, longing once more to dwell
in peace and contentment amid her
ample and alI-suppIying resources, says
the editor of the Farmers Voice. There
is such a distinct and universal move
ment back to the land today as never
has been known at any previous period
of the worlds history-a restatement
in the language of action, as it we're, of
the old formula of progress-frst, the
simple, then the complex, then a re-
turn to the simple. Not return to the
simple ways and forms Of the past, bit
readoption of those broad and simple
principles writ large in natures rules

and power which we have acquired

methods more effective in working out
mans manifest destiny.
A striking illustration comes to rs
from Brooklyn Of this tendency to 20
back to the land At the May meeting
Of the Brooklyn board Of education, so
the newspaper dispatches tell US, a
committee was appointed to ascertain
Why such a large percentage Of the
girls we're not regularly in school It
was found that they were sent into the
shops and out to service or we're kept
at home to mind the babies and other
wise help their parents. On these re-
plies the committee submitted an eIab-
crate report to the board. It states
that aside from the young women who
60 into the high schools to perfect
themselves for teaching, and those who
take special courses in typewriting, the
great majority graduated are turned
out into the world absolutely united
for the cares Of domestic life.
Therefore, as a result OF this inves-
LEGATION, the committee recommend
the purchase Of a small farm, whereon
shall be taught the principles and
practices Of agriculture and domestic
science. and the girls trained to win
