The lesson of which lies in the analysis
For it is of small value to US Americans,
surGeiting in natural riches and prodigaI
of the dollars and cents, to say that we
are squandering so many millions per an
mum on foreign vessels or SO many more
In foreign travel. But to be brought to
a knowledge that we are falling behind
any other peoples, by simple reason of
our own blindness or stupidity, that Is at
least germane to an issue. To announce
that but 1 per cent of our exports to
European countries are carried In Amer
lean bottoms carries no especial meaning
to the American voter, so long as wages
continue at top-notch prices at home.
After looking at the above table, it is
fair to put beside 1t our innportations Of

MISREPRESENTATION.

The Argonaut has comments on the
late election in Hawaii, which are, like
all its comments in the past utterly err
roneous. This is the more extraordin-
G-y because the editor and principal
owner of the paper spent some time on
the Islands a few years ago. Before
he came he may have known something
Of the affairs of the Islands, after his
visit he or his writer's have shown a
glorious ignorance.
That the results of the election We're
a surprise is utterly untrue. The news
papers here foreshadowed it, or else
why should the effort have been made,
which The Star thinks to the present
day was unwisely turned down, to unite
the Democratic and the Republican
parties and make a citizens ticket.
Why also was the warning given in
June against making hard and fast
party lines. The results of the election
were no surprise here. The true sur
prise was that the Republican party
did so well. Out of a heavy vote the
Republican candidate for delegate was
only a couple of hundred behind, while
on the Island of Oahu, where the
largest number of voters are, there was
a Republican victory not only for dele
gate, but an even balance in the lower
House and majority in the Senate.
Had the Republicans on Kauai done
their duty, the results of the election
would have been different. But it is
no use crying over split milk.
As to those on the mainland, who
take an interest in Hawaii, being sur
prised, much correspondence went for
ward foreshadowing the event, notably
that of DR.. Bishop, published in the
Washington Star, paper read by every
public man in Washington.
The talk of asking to abrogate the
Hawaiian franchise comes not from
the Republicans here, but from dema-
gogues who would like to knife the Re-
publican party and use this as a means
TO try and bring discredit upon it, The
problems in Hawaii may be hard, but
the citizens of the Territory both For
eign and Hawaiian have now become
Americans and between them in perfect
friendliness they will find a solution
There are less troubles before us, than
there are in many places on the main
land.

Representatives. Emmeluth is
preparing sections to a bill for the mu-
nicipality of Honolulu. He is very
anxious to get system of proportional
representation adopted. Some of these
days, before the Legislature meets, it
may become necessary to go into a
discussion upon this point. Though Mr..
Emmeluth has made a careful study of
one side, it is doubtful whether he has
given any attention to the other. There
will be lots to be discussed in Febru-
airy when the measure really comes up.

ECONOMIC CHARITY.

The work of the Associated Charities
in Honolulu is probably lost to the
general public, in that it keeps away
from the public many of those who
have been in the habit of preying upon
the public. AS far as the work has
been conducted, UP to the present, the
plan for associating the charities has
worked well. Were all the charities
associated as they are in many cities;
of the mainland, regardless of creed,
the results might be even better, but
1t takes time to demonstrate even an
obvious fact, and association in chart
~ is strange TO our civilization and
therefore doubted as to ultimate bene-
fit.
The Association has affiliated with it
the following societies:
Free Kindergarten and Children's
Aid Society, Woman's Board of Mis-
sions, Hospital Flower Mission, Mis-
sionary Cleaners Japanese Benevolent
Society, Japanese Church Benevolent
Society, Portuguese Ladies' BeneV client
Society, Ladies' Society Central Union
Church, Strangers Friend Society,"
WOman's Christian Temperance Union,
Young Mems Christian Association
Portuguese Charitable Society of Ha-
wall, Catholic Ladies' Aid Society,
American Relief Fund.
Though this is a long list, it is by no
means complete of all the charitable
organizations in the city Any one
can fill up the blanks, and a number
can guess why the societies have failed
TO join. Had the leaders of the societies
which have not Joined, fully appreciat-
ed what the society is doing, they would
have been disposed to consider before
going on with their former routine.
While individuals would give up the
practice of throwing a penny to the
beggar or a quarter to any one who
tags along with a wife and child at his
heels.
one ought TO be economical in we'll
doing, because the more economical one
is, the more one will have to give to
those who are deserving. 1t is not
right to support people who are quite
capable of supporting themselves.
raised for charitable purposes in any
community. If a portion of that
amount is given to people who are I'M
worthy, in the sense of being able to
support themselves, it is a robbery
from those who really are in need and
who cannot support themselves. What
all communities want to do is to help
the afflicted whether in mind, body
or estate" and yet to give that help
judiciously and so as not to let the
recipient lose self respect.
Indiscriminate charity leads to GER
tain people making a profession of beg
ging. In the large cities of the main
land, and still more in Europe, beg
ging is profession. The beggars of
Paris, indeed, are formed into a reg

countries. which has not its steps and
portals thronged with beggars. There
is not Mahommedan Mosque i'm the
East which has not its mass Of men
dicants, and rare rascals most OF them
are whatever creed they may belong
to.
The old idea as expressed in the
churches was that pauperism was a
necessity. The new idea is that II is
not necessity of civilization. A man
may be poor but he is not necessarily
a pauper. Poverty and pauperism are
widely different terms. There can be
honest pride and honest self satisfac-
ton in the abode of the poor man.
Indeed a poor man may be one of the
foremost men in scientific thought or
i'm political acumen of the mass among
whom he lives. But there can be no
honest pride in the bosom of the pau
per- who is too lazy to work, and yet
will exist upon the pittance wrung
from unwilling hands and unthinking
heads.
The work of the Associated Charities
has practically only just begun. If any
person has a dollar or so to spare it
should go to this organization. The
money will be well and economically

Alexander. 1t has been generally I'M

Porto Ricans are on their way to
the Islands to engage as laborers. We
need laborers and they will be welcome
to the planters. Those who have OPP
posed the introduction of the Southern
negro may take what comfort they can
get out of the Porto Rican who is also
a negro or mayhap a mestizo or mixed
breed The Southern negro would
make the better citizen and would have
been more easily educated. The Porto
Rican is Spanish in his proclivities and
language, and is absolutely destitute of
education or political knowledge How
ever from twenty to thirty years will
make good citizens of the United States
out of the survivors and the posterity.

The Mormons in a quiet way have
progressed on these Islands. OF late
years they have done a great deal Of
missionary work throughout the group.
Five years ago the number Of Mormons
was little over 1000, and it is quite
probable that there are 5000 by now
The Mormon missionaries go among
the Hawaiians, live in their houses,
preach on their Yerandas and enter
thoroughly into their daily life. De-
cember IL will be the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the landing of the Mormons
on this group. AS far as the Territory
is concerned the Mormons and their
proselytes here have ever been an in
dustrious, law abiding set of people.
Indeed the Mormons have found the
means of making the Hawaiians under
their influence, uniformly industrious,
which other sects have failed to do. If
any one desires to see what has been
accomplished by the Mormons, visit
to the settlement at Laie will show
the measure Of success that has at
tended their efforts. s-''-t
