The deaths and injuries which result
from careless driving are increasing
very rapidly. There should be some stop
put to it, Men drive heavy teams who
are utterly incompetent to drive them.
This is especially true of Japanese and
young Portuguese If the owners of
the carts could be got at, much more
reputable and responsible driver would
be the result. There is nothing that
the owner likes less than to have to nav
damages. He does not care anything il
his driver is fired or the poor devil is
sent to prison, but he cares very much
if his pocket is touched. What the city
needs is an ordinance to restrict the
employment of irresponsible drivers,
either in wagons, drays or hacks. If
the regulations could be made to ex-
tend to the tram cars it would be a
very great comfort to many nervous
women

The episode of kidnapping which was
noted some days ago comes out very
much as The Star diagnozed. Hawai-
ians are in the habit of giving their
children away. The late Mrs. Bishop,
foundress of the Kamehameha schools,
was given away from one chief family
to another. 1t was a curious custom
and made it difficult to adjust prop
erty Probably there may be some
suits upon such grounds in the COM
ing future. AS a fact there is room
for good deal of legal work upon
land titles in this territory, and no
doubt the future will produce the men
who are willing to go into that very
kind of business.

F. S. Dodge, of the Bishop Estate,
put up question on the Tram Car
Company which gave the driver a cold
shudder. He rendered five one cent
pieces. There is no reason why they
should not be accepted. In most cities
on the mainland the tram cars are only
TOO glad to rake in all they can get.
In Washington you can get thirty
cents worth of tickets for twenty-five
cents. Also you get clean cars and
the greatest civility. In Honolulu civil
lily on the tram cars is a minus guam
tity. The amount of rudeness which
women receive on cars is inconceivable.
and when the brute who drives has to
speak to Portuguese, japanese or Chi
nese women, he feels that he is privil-
eyed to use his rudest, most disgusting
and bullying manner. Before Honolulu
can be called up to date it must put
IN order both its tram car system and
its telephone system. The one is Eng
fish and the other is American, and
they are both equally worthless and
rotten.

Flag exercises in the public and
other schools are a good thing. But like
other good things they ought to be in
telligently taught. To teach salutes to
the flag, and songs about the flag and
to rise and uncover heads when ma
tional anthems are rendered, is excel
lent, because decorous. But it is not
patriotism. 1t may be, and is very ant

distinction, between the flag as an en-

PEACE AND GOOD WILL.

Christmas one thousand nine-hundred
Dr Christmas 1900. Write it or print it
as you will. We are starting out upon
the completion of the two thousandth
cycle of Christianity upon this little
world of ours.
There are two trains of thought that
strike us all at the present season.
There is the natural yelling love for
our own, for the unhappy, for the desti-
tute, for the children, and in fact all
that the human heart goes out to, and
it goes out to so many and in so kindly
a manner. Talk of the hardness Of hui
man nature and any one who knows it,
knows that it is most kindly and gentle.
The worst and the hardest show the
god given gentleness in spite of the
roughened outer husk That is one
thought.
The other thought is the sign post on
the way of time. 1900. 1t marks an
era, and it makes us stop and think.
Centuries come, centuries CO. Men
come, men go. We are born, we live,
we die. We are only ephemeral we
think. But we are not we leave our
impression upon future generations no
matter how humble, no matter how
great we may be. The trilobite of the
Silurian sea has left his mark. The
early Aryan has Influenced us to the
present day, in fact what atom has not
influenced its fellow atom.
Taking the first idea it is a blessed
thing that human nature feels it's heart
touched at one season of the year at
least. 1t is true, undeniably true, that
the world hardens. But there is a soft
ness and a tenderness which it cannot
lose. Dickens saw it when he drew his
picture of Scrooge. No matter how hard
a man or woman may be. the soft spot
of true human nature will appear when
called upon.
But why look at the harder side? 1t
requires very little to touch the ordi-
nary springs of kindness. There is
probably no place touched where they
are more readily touched than here.
We are small community and we pour
forth our good will happily to all who
may be within our borders. Peace and
good will is our motto at Christmas
time and we show it to friend and foe
alike.
The Star wishes the brightest and
happiest of times to all tomorrow and
feels sure that it voices the kindly
spirit of the community.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALI. is a
heart stirring and true wish.

There is some of the above writing
which does not have very holiday air.
But The Star though it may moralize
at times, always feels in the kindliest
humor to it's friends, and its enemies.

those who scowl the blacklist looks, it
wishes A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-12-24

And now the second thought. 1t is
the christmas season and what does
christmas mean? 1t is Chrst's mass,
The main idea is Christianity. Though
the main idea may have been lost in
the pleasantness of the season. in the
kindness of the feelings called forth
by so many associations, it is inpossi-
Die to forget the true meaning of the
term. The celebration of Christmas is q
purely Christian celebration and If is
one which binds the whole Christian
world as kin.
Inc FORCES of Christianity and Pagan
ism are face to face today. Whatever
we many think of this particular sect
and that particular sect, we understand
that the men and women who work for
them are faithful and honest. We have
seen or heard of them as sealing their
faith with their blood and their honor.
What has been going on in China is
sufficient to call Christian men, or men
brought up and influenced by Christian
ideals to realization of the life and
death struggle that there is between the
TWO sets of ethics, or practically what
there is between the East and the West.
Christianity came to the west though il
was in the east. Buddhism, Confucian
ism, Shamanism, Mahomedanism and so
forth belong to the East.
These varied civilizations under their
varied influences are now coming into
more of clash than we have had be-
fore. There was time when Mahomed-
anism threatened Europe. Charlemaena
on the Plains of Tours smashed that
nope for ever. The idea came IN
again a thousand years or nearly. af
forwards, and though Gordon lost his
life Kitchener played CharIemagne
petore Omdurman some years later
with success.
Inc question at the present day is
what civilization is going to hold its
own on the globe, 1t is all very well to
say this can and that can, but nothing
is certain The matter comes down not
to nationality but to belief. 1t is Chris
tianity against other views of religion.
In China Christianity has suffered the
strongest rebuff it has suffered in many
years. Can it overcome this rebuff.
When one reads and appreciates what
Christianity has done for the human
race, in spite of its inherent faults one
doffs ones cap, and metaphorically
kneels before the founder of the purest
and best set of ethics which have been
given to mankind.
1t is therefore right at this season of
the year, or this anniversary of the
founder of our religion and of our
morality, to consider the danger that
now faces it. 1t has been a kindly and
gentle religion. But for the faults of
human beings it has always brought
peace and happiness to those who have
embraced 1t.
The great founder Of our belief and
civilization taught us one great good

beginning Early.

rhe Register yesterday printed a
Democratic forecast of the presidential
election which, with its usual, capacity
for laundering, or Its well-known PEN
chant for Misrepresentation, it credited
to the alleged psrspicacity of Senator
John *. Jones, chairman Of the National
Democratic Committee. Senator Jones,
with MI his faults, cannot be charged
with such a wild guess as he was made
10 father by the Register. That menda-
cIous paper said; Numbers Of Republl.
can statesmen and newspapers have
prepared forecasts OF the coming presi-
DENTAL election, showing that Mckinley
is to be sure winner in the electoral
college by many votes. 1t is only fair
to give Democratic veroion OF the COM
ing event. prepared by Senator John X.
Jones, chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee"
Then follows table which gives Bry-
an 1876 votes in the electoral college
sure" and Mckinley 1853 votes sure, e"
with eighty-three votes doubtful, .
Among the doubtful states are New
York, Indiana, Ohio and Minnesota
But we have have not so much to say
OF the ridiculous forecast as we have OF
the Registers attempt to saddle it on to
Chairman Jones. The Register. after
credItlng the compilation to Mr.. Jones.
quotes some comments on the political
situation, which 1t likewise claims were
Che utterances of the inoffensive Jones,
Fhe truth is that Mr.. Jones never gave
out the forecast, nor did he say any
thing on the subject. The Register got
its information from the New York
World of Tuesday, which said: Senator
John X. Jones, chairman Of the Nation
al Democratic Committee, refused to be
quoted by the World as predicting the
way the states will vote for President
next November, but the following esh-
mate by states is from quite as author
itative source. and shows thu consar-
vative expectations OF the Bryan man
ayers. 1t answers the figures in to-
days World given by Representative
Grosvenor, the spokesman and Official
prophet of the Mckinley party"
After giving the table the World ac-
count goes on to say, You see" SAIL
the Democratic leader 81 concede, Cor
the sake of argument, all the Pacific
coast states to Mckinley because on the
western coast the lmperialist policy Is
strongest. &C." These feeble remarks
the Register also charges up to Chair
man Jones who was entirely innocent OF
perpetratlng them on gulllbIe public.
1t is a little early in the season. but you
may always count on the Register stat
ing what is not true in political sense.
In this respect its habits are Irrevocl-
bly, formed.
