SMOKING ALLOWED.

The decision of the Y. M. G. A.
officers to allow smoking 10 the

ISOLATION marks a notable change
10 sentiment among those seeking
to throw Christian influences
about the young men of Honolulu
The time was not long ago, when
smoking was considered one of
the serious sins for which all men
must repent before assured of
comfort in the hereafter. Many
may even now say that Christian
workers are doing wrong in ere.
cognizing the evil"
The people however are finding
that the"thou shall and thou shalt
not" of the Puritan is not the prop
err method for lifting humanity to
higher levels. They have found
that a mau can break the old blue
laws and still fulfill the spirit of
the Golden Rule. They have also
found that the peremptory con

mite future of hell fire does not
tend to increase the number who
gauge their lives by Christian
precept.
Temperance cannot be forced
upon men by prohibition. Hu-
man nature is SO constructed that
it wants and works hard for what
it can't get, and enemies Of liquor
and tobacco, find that in years past
they have begun work at the
wrong end of the line. II the use
of tobacco is sin, men cannot be
made to see it by the abstainers
standing aloof and thanking the
Lord that they are not as sinful as
others.
This latest move of the Y. M. G.
A. authorities is practically re-
coguition that if their work is to
reach the worldly class, the work
ers must accept conditions as they
are and not attempt to create
Christian character by arbitrary
rulings. 1t is move in the right
direction.

The San Francisco Bulletin
states that as result OF United
States Consul Jones action instop-
ping the Portuguese immi-
grants to embark for Hawaii, the
State Department has issued the
following orders:
First American laws in no
sense apply TO Hawaii, aud will
not untii they american laws
have been extended by special act
Of Congress. Second, that con-
tracts to labor made with the Ha-
waiian Government, or with its
sanction, are as valid to-day as
before annexation took place."
So far as can be learned no such
instructions have been issued from
the State Department. No such
instructions have reached any Of
ficials in Hawaii. The conclusion
reached by the Bulletin however
is particularly pertinent. 1t Gags,
"This order by the State Depart
ment is equivalent to the assert
ion that annexation has not yet
taken place. This, in effect, is the
contention of the Supreme Court
OF Hawaii" While the State De-
partment has not issued orders as
quoted by the Bulletin, it is
apparent that the decision of Ha.
walls Supreme Court is thor.
oughly understood.

PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT.

The anxiety of The official organ
for the condition of Mr.. How
Ducks pocket book is remarkable.
The local government is requested
to pay Mr.. How Ducks bills, for
being shipped back 20 China, as
speedily as possible and charge it
up to profit and loss.
This conclusion is based on the
wording Of letter from the Unit
ed States Treasury Department
to Mr.. How Duck. This letter is
merely statement that Mr.. How
Duck cannot draw from any ap.
preparation placed at the dispo-
sition of theTreasury Department.
This letter 80 far as the Hawaii
an Government is concerned, has
no particular significance. If the
Secretary of the Treasury wishes
TO have the Hawaiian Government
pay the bill, he will say 80 in un-
mistakable language and it is
not likely that his communication
on the subject will be subm itt' d
through the Hon Mr.. How Duck.
The Treasury Department has it's
agent here aud it is time enough
for the Hawaiian Government to
act when it receives instructions.
Possibly the government would
be pleased to pay Mr.. How Ducks
bills in order to thus register its
disapproval of American officials
and American methods, but where
is the Hawaiian Government to
get it's coin for this purpose ? Has
the Hawaiian Government any
approximation for making PR sents
to returned Chinese ? Ia the APP

Pass the Canal Bill Openly.

Now that the attempt to pass the

Postponement Of this subject to the

grounded in national and international
necessity for that-but it would OBJ
viously be unfortunate. Under the

Tightening the Lines.

The Democrats in the senate are
willing to pass a bill extending the
present term of enlistment of the 81, ,001
regular soldiers until next December so
as to avert a special session, but they
declare that they will not pass the
Hull bill giving the president power to
increase the regular army to 100000
men. In this attitude of resistance the
Democrats are aided by four renegade
Republicans who have gone to seed on
the expansion issue-Messrs. Hoar,
Hale, Mason and Perkins. The Dem
ocrats are playing a small game of
party politics and the four Republican
recalcitrants are the victims of a fear
that 100000 regular soldiers would at
tack the capital and overthrow the re-
public.
1t is currently reported that the
president has notified representative
senators Of his intention to call an
extra session if the Huh bill is not

Expansion as a Party Issue.

In the division of public opinion
which has arisen wlIn respect TO what
this nation should do with the territory
and problems put within its jurisdlc-
tion by the war with Spain it Is notice
able that a majority of the anti-ex-
pansionists are old men while most Of
the leaders of the movement for expan-
sion are on the sunny side Of middle
age. This is a phenomenon which re-
fleets the operations OF law Of ma
ture. Young blood is proverbially VEN
turesOme, while old blood is cautious,
timid, and prone to overestimate diff
culties and hazards.
History in all ages indicates the
workings Of this natural differentiation

citizens who like the kind of city
government Scranton has had during
the last three years will not be ex-
pected to vote the Republican ticket.
Citizens who think that crime should
be punished, that ordinances should
not stand between friends, that, in
short, any old kind of municipal ad-
ministration is good enough for Scran-
ton should not identify themselves
with the Republican cause, because
they are not at home there and their
cooperation is not desired. Republi-
can rule in the city heretofore has
meant law-enforcement, public inn
provements, clean legislation and clean
streets and the party is too old to learn
new tricks.

Not to Be Fooled Twice.

The afternoon organ of the unterri-
fled is welcome to all the capital it can
make out of the fact that under Re-
publican city administration large sums
of money have been wisely spent in
public Improvements upon the indorse-
ment of the people as expressed at the
polls. The Republican party instead of
being ashamed Of this fact, glories in
it and. when recalled to local power by
the ballots of the people next Tuesday,
will so conduct the affairs of the
municipality that additional sums can
be spent to multiply the conNeniences
of the people without the fear OF bank
ruptcy on corruption.
The city needs new sewers, it needs
a viaduct. it needs development of its
park system, it needs hundreds OF
things that it cannot expect to get until
it nuts out of office the broken down
clique now in charge of the city hall
and puts in their place progressive and
intelligent business men Of executive
capacity like the men named on the
present Republican city ticket. The
people know this They were fooled
three years ago by tonguey dema-
gogues who falsihed to them and led
them astray. but in the three years Of
anliction which have since come to
them they have learned wisdom through
meditation and no more will they put
their trust i'm Democratic campaign
promises.
The next administration Of the city
of Scranton will be a Republican one.

But inasmuch as the burdens of gov

under so years of age it seems fair to
conclude that the expansion idea will
in the long run win at the polls and
become a permanent feature of Ameri-
can policy.
1t is not. however, to be a one-sided
battle. Many factors not now foreseen

If in these far eastern islands there
should be prolonged fighting it is easy
to look forward to a time when public
opinion will become restless and the
policy Of the government will be sub

ruption. Yet when we reflect upon the
providential nature Of the events which
in sequence have carried us into this
new policy and perceive that infiu-
ences beyond human control have
guided this advance OF American duty
and opportunity it is not unreasonable
to conclude that we shall not wholly
escape our destiny, whether it shall
unfold itself in a permanent colonial
system or in protectorate which es-
