Young Women.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. Is
The faculty athletic committee at a meet
ing held last night passed a ruling virtu-
ally abolishing the game OF basketball

versity. The rule forbids any intercolle-
giate contest between the young women
which requires team work. and further
provides that all contests must be played
on the home campus. II Is not intended
that the game of tennis should come with
in this rule
The reasons given by the faculty ath-
letic committee for placing such restric-
tions upon womens athletics Is that the
physical strain upon the young women is
too great.

The proposal of the University of Cal
ifornia foot ball team to come here dur
ing the Christmas holidays ought to
arouse a great deal of foot ball inter-
est. While the proposal involves con-
siderable expense, there is little doubt
that it can be carried out if the right
effort is made. There is plenty of good
foot ball material here. There are a
number of men who have played on
Varsity teams and a great many more
who have played on class teams, acad-
envy teams and in strong club teams. A
meeting of those interested in foot ball
should be called and the whole subject
considered. Perhaps it is too much of
the Berkeley team to ask that their
entire expenses should be guaranteed.
The members of the team will get a
trip to the islands under the best pos
sible auspices, and that ought to be
some consideration to them. At any
rate, the whole question ought to be
canvassed and settled as speedily as
possible so that if it is decided they
shall come, the work of getting up a
team worthy to meet them may COM
mence at once.

HIGH BINDERS.

The rumors Of japanese High Bin
ders' operations ought not to cause
undue alarm. There is nothing new in
it either here or elsewhere. The police
department has come upon its opera
tions before. 1t is the old story OF
secret organizations for the control OF
certain lines of business or trade, or to
control the actions of certain classes of
people. Wherever a people of less adj
vancein civilization is dominated by a
people of greater advance, or Wherever
an alien people come as labOrers among
another there have been these secret
organizations outside the law. The
British have found and dealt with them
in India In the United states there
have been the Molly Maguires," the
Malta" and the Chinese High Bin
ders." All these though they have
created disturbances, and committed
crimes, have never been able to effect
permanent results, menace good gov
eminent or ever impede the admins
tration of justice. In the United States
the local police, whenever aroused to
lnelf tNlSlIlltt nave always bGtI lullN
able to cope with them. The HindoOs
are perhaps the most subtle crafty and
effective in secret criminal conpiracies
of any people on earth. But the British
Government has always been able to
deal effectively with them. The truth
is that no secret alliance based on pri
vate interest or class selfishness can
prevail against the open administration
of law and order based on the public
good Their selfishness and secrecy
protecting them from honest criticism
soon leads them into the control of
those who would use whatever of power
there is in them to their own personal
and dishonest ends. So that they soon
work their own undoing.
1t is one of the characteristics of mo-
dren civilization that while it lessons
the ability of individuals to cOnspire
for evil or selfish ends, it increases a
thousand fold, their power to combine
for the public good and for commenda-
BILE ends.
The Pauahi street high binders need
keep no good citizens except the police,
awake nights.

FETCH WORSHIP.

The incident at the Opera House the
other night in connection with the
playing of the Star Spangled Ban
ner," illustrates the awkward contre-
temps and ludicrous situations that
may be brought about by making a
fetch out of even an admirable senti-
ment. The New Dominion" was the
play One of the acts opens on the
morning of the Fourth of July, with
firecrackers and flags. The incidental
music of the play calls for the Star
Spangled Banner" during the inter-
mission preceding this act. AS soon
as the orchestra struck up the air
there was embarrassment in the audi
ence. There were a large number of
soldiers present, officers and enlisted
men, and Immediately the question
arose with each, whether this was an
occasion requiring them to follow the
custom of the army and stand uncov-
cred while the air was being played or
not. Some of them rose Immediately
some hesitated. The remainder of the
audience We're then Immediately plung-
ed into as deep a quandary. Should
they, as Americans, rise, too. Some did
and some did not The result was en-
barrassment to everybody, and total
destruction of any sentiment, patriot
ic or otherwise.
The whole trouble arises from a mis-
taken idea that patriotism consists in
forms or observances. There may be
times when it is appropriate enough
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-10-16

to rise and stand uncovered while q
national air is being played But those
occasions are such as the time and cir-
oumstauces of them will naturally sug
G,st Their, d. no more reason why
anyone should stand while the "Star
Spanglod Banner is being played as
Incidental music i'm play than why
the audience should knecl when the
"Misorerc' is being played and sung
on the stage in grand opera for
which it was written.
In the old Hawaiian system Of pag-
anism and tabus. there were certain
signs and portents, which, when they
happened. required that everybody
should cease whatever they were at
and conform to the conventional re-
quircments of the tabu. Every peo-
pie that has fallen into ignorance and
superstition has similar customs. In
ancient Hawaii if a mans shadow fell
on the king it was death to the man.
We Anglo-Saxons whenever we have
! come across these superstitious GUS
toms among other peoples, have ruth
lessly ridiculed and abolished them.
But. in fact. what is the difference,
what the sign or signal is, If instantly
on its being given, no matter how ac-
cidentally or apart from the sentiment
it represents, everyone must take some
conventional attitude, or perform some
conventional act?
The real patriot will not do anything
derogatory to the sentiments which
evoked the star Spangled Banner"
or to the principles and sentiments for
which the flag stands. But to make a
fetch out of either is neither to teach
or inspire patriotism. 1t is, in fact,
to throttle real patriotism because it
is akin to superstition.
There are, no doubt, a great many
good people who will stand aghast at
such sentiments as these. But a great
many good people in all ages have mis-
taken the shadow for the substance.
Prior to the Civil War there was no
attitudinizing to the flag or to national
airs required by conventional patriot
ism nor by ultra patriots. But when
real patriotism was needed there was
no lack of it. There was genuine, self
sacrificing response from millions when
the call to save the Union came.
