Hazing mt colleges is n brutality which
should be stopped by radical measures.
II the management OF the colleges will
not take decisive steps to prevent such
outrages, then individual students
should protect themselves by the most
drastic measures. Recently Oscar l..
Booze of New York, was so roughly
treated at West Point that his death re.
suited. Students suspecting that they
may be subject to such treatment should
arm themselves with the best guns to be
had and use them with energy and pre-.
cision when hazing is attempted, And
should the cowardly hazers take such
advantage as to prevent the use OF fire.
arms and abuse their helpless FELLOWSHIP. :.
dent, then it would be the duty of the
student to go cunning for the guilty par.
ties Immediately after the hazing. This
seems like bloodthirsty advice, but no
more effective method can be devised for
the protection of young students from
the rufiianism of those who have been
longer in college. The shooting of few
hazing students is one of the urgent de.
mands OF college life Just now. Since the
above was in type we find the following
in State University Notes, which shows
that President Baker is on the right
track: "Hazing has practically been abol
ished. President Baker has issued an
order forbidding it in any form and fixed
penalty Of expulsion from the Univer.
sity for any violation OF the rule. He
said that hazing must be abolished even
though whole class be expelled to &C.
complish it."

The nineteenth century's last Christ

ever was before in the United States,
says the Globe Democrat. No such
prosperity as that which the country has
been enjoying this year was ever seen
here or anywhere else before. The
spirit Of benevolence and OF general holi-
day cheer was never SO strikingly dis
played IN tho past as it was throughout
the country in 1900. Uncle Sam has

Cape Nome and the Klond,ke.

The expected has happened at Cape
Nome, said Seattle man the other
day. There was such big rush for the
new diggings that the field has become
oyercrowded. The present is a good
time for gold seekers to go to the Klon-
dixie. When it was discovered that the
sands OF Nome were full of gold, Klon-
dixie miners got the fever, and many
valuable claims there We're abandoned.
and others We're sold for a song. Claims
can be bought there today for fourth
what they brought year ago, and they
nave In no way deprecated in value. II
some man with plenty of capital had
been in the Klondike when the rush to
Nome set in, he could have reaped a
rich harvest. The miners were crazy
to sell, and the prevailing price for
some of the best properties was the
amount necessary to carry the owners
to the new Eldorado.'

San Francisco, is thus described by a

ham and carrots in long slabs. Then

fins in pickle and eggs which had been
buried in lime until they had become
black. Peeled water chestnuts, the
roots of kind of lotus, cakes of stiff
cranberry jelly, sliced boiled carrots
and turnips completed the tenth course,
and were topped off with olives arrang-
ed in pyramids, and held in place by
bamboo pins. Green cages ana lamar
inds soaked in wine and pieces of fried
red melon were all arranged in pyramid
bamboo style. Small pieces of pastry
rolled in brown sugar, sections of
oranges, toasted melon pips and mon
key nuts, small pink topped dumplings
filed with sugar and patties, which re-

GROWTH OF MoRMoN1sM.

One of the most surprising things in
the history of missionary effort the
world over Is the success the Mormons
are having in their work of prosely-
ting. The church now owns 300, 900 COM
municants and during 1899 added 90 900
to the number. Within the next three
decades the Latter Day Saints hope to
be the paramount religious body in the
West and in the western province of
Canada. Bishop Bunker declares that
Alberta, in the Northwest Territory,
promises to become second Salt Lake
City. The gains made there are larger
than in any other region In the world
and are growing in their ratio from
year-to year.
Another surprising thing is the man.
ner in which the Mormon missionaries
labor at their own expense and take no
account of persecution except to turn
it to the greater glory Of the faith.
The church now sends out 1,623 young
men who are at work in various parts
of the world. This number will soon
he increased to $500. These mission
aries, so Bishop Bunker declares, "ac-
cept no pay, ask no aims, take up no
collections and maintain themselves at
their own expense. They get nothing
from the church at Salt Lake and they
must pay all their expenses from their
own pockets. To do this they must
either have parents behind them OF
work year and preach a year. Most
OF them have to borrow money from
Utah before they get home They are
In sense, martyrs to their religion
because no other missionaries are SO
hostilely received as the Mormons
They come back to Utah with tales OF
the way they have been mobbed, rot
ten-egged. spat upon and drenched
with boiling water. Yet they cheerful
ly return to their work"
The chief secret of the success OF
these young men in making converts
is perhaps revealed by Bishop Bunker
in his statement that the church looks
closely to the material welfare of its
membership. 1.-THE gentle faith,' says
the prelate, 'is all spiritual and has
its only reward in the other life. we
believe all that, and we believe that
Joseph Smith and Brigham Young
were told by heaven how mans condi-
ton here on earth might be cheered
and made preparatory for the joys OF
the hereafter. We believe that religion
and the means to support ones family
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-08-09

go hand in hand and that a mans
piety is not complete unless he takes
care of his wife and children"
The Christian Church might learn
something from precepts which are so
full of worldly wisdom and which point
so unerringly to- the value of co-opera-
ton between the Christian employer
and the Christian wage Garner. There
is an argument also in the Mormon
example for what are known as insti-
tutional churches. We would not be
surprised to find that the churches
which do not grow are those which
give their almost undivided concern to
the spiritual development of man.
Christ was always feeding the multi
tude. Now He did it by the miracle
of the loaves and fishes; anon by turn
ing water into wine. He filled the nets
of the fishermen; when He gathered
his disciples about him for the last
time it was at feast. 1t is not given
the church in these days to perform
miracles and its charity must be dis
eliminating; but it can always, if it
wishes to do so. provide the means of
livelihood for it's own flock. Mormons
employ Mormons; Catholics employ
| Catholics, only Protestants are un-
mindful of their worldly opportunities
to do spiritual good.
! Another reason why the Mormons
4 succeed, one which also applies to the
/ Roman Catholics, is that they ac-
! knowledge authority and submit tt
discipline. When either church says
| go or come" to it's members thu
word is final. Democratic church gov
| eminent seems to produce laxity. Here
as in other fields of effort, what i.
everybody's business is nobody's bust
ness. Is it not a truth of very wide
application that a church, like al
army, is better for visible and gov
! erning head? Does not its logical evo
luton come to that?
