A REFORMER.

Leung Chi-tso left by the steamer yes
terday for the other Islands of the
group, where he will carry on his reform
propaganda During his stay in Homo
lulu he has labored intellectually for the
cause of which he is so able an eX-
ponent, and has won. not only the ma
jority of his countrymen, but many
Westerners over to a thorough belief
in the honesty and uprightness of his
work.
Naturally the officials deride him,
and as is usual, impugn his motives.
But there never has been a reformer
yet who has not been vilifed by the
official classes. The Gracchi of Rome
We're vilified, and lost their lives for
their cause, at the hands of their in
CRATE countrymen. The Jews complain
ed against the purest and most blame
less Reformer that ever appeared upon
earth, that he was a Wine bibber
friends of publicans and sinners"
Luther was vilified. Cromwell was Will
fled. Washington was vilified. Through
out the whole range of history, whether
llS iSlOilleI nc IehBlOuS Ut pOhllCdli
his life is made burden to him, and
it is only years afterwards that he is
universally revered for his work and
the good that he has done.
But the man with high ideals cares
not for the abuse, the misunderstand-
ing, the falsehoods which are circulated
about him, any more than he cares for
the personal risks he runs. His cause
is his life and he willingly lays it down,
If by his death he can help to carry out
those ideals. Mr.. Leung's ideals are
high, they may even be Utopian, but
they are grand in their conception. To
attempt the regeneration of so mighty
an empire is indeed a colossal task. So
colossal that we hardly realize it,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-05-09
A GREAT STEP FORWARD.

Hawaii will have the honor of being
the first place where wireless telegra-
ply will be installed as complete sys-
tenn. Wireless telegraphy has been in
use between Great Britain and France.
1t was used at the International yacht
race last year. was used at the naval
maneuvers, and so forth. But it has
been reserved for Hawaii to adopt it
as it's exclusive inter-island system,
demonstrating that for distances be-
tween islands such as we are, the cable
is a useless and cumbersome method of
communication.
Since the arrival of Expert Bowden
we are beginning to learn more of the
possibilities of wireless biography. We
had an idea there would have to be
stations at each side of each channel
and then that the telephone lines would
! have to be used till the next station
was reached. The reality is very diff
! ferent from this. 1t is very much such
a revelation as struck one when using
the Roetgen ray for the first time, and
one was disposed to pull up ones sleeve
| before the bones of ones arm were
! shown. OF course, it mattered not
whether the coat was thick or whether
one had three coats on-the bones
showed out clear, without any reference
to coats or shirts.
So it is with the wireless telegraphy.
Mr.. Bowden tells US that Honolulu will
not need even to speak to Maui, but
will be able to talk directly with Ha-
wall, without the Intervention of either
Molokai or Maui. Moreover, when the
inter- communication between the Is
lands is perfected, Mr.. Marconfs rep
resentative promises that steamers two
hundred miles from the group will be
able to communicate their news.
This is all very wonderful and hard
to realize, but there is every reason to
think that the case is understated,
rather than overstated. We shall open
our eyes in a few weeks, and such
methods of communication will revolu-
tionize a good deal of our business pro-
cedure just as the ocean cable has rev.
olutionized the business of the great
! continents.
But if what Mr.. Bowden promises is
realized, what wonderful possibilities
are opened. If you can communicate
200 miles, why should you not commu-
nicate 1000 miles, and if this is so, what
need of an expensive cable between here
and the Coast. One begins to see why
Marconi's system has been decried. 1t
| is likly to cut into many monopolies. 1t
! is also clear why it should find an easy
home here, because there are no mo-
nopolies to fight it. Success is what
everyone hopes for this venture in
inter-island communication. Mr.. Cross
is to be congratulated upon his acumen
in organizing the company and bringing
it to practical fruition.

s. B. DOLE.

Sanford Ballard Dole has made a big
mark upon the history of Hawaii. He
has been the first and only president of
the Independent Republic of Hawaii,
and now he will be the first governor
of the Territory Of Hawaii for there
can be little doubt but what the nomi-
nation of the President will be confirm
by the Senate.
Governor Dole is well and favorably
known in Washington. He has made a
very favorable impression upon the
leading men of both parties, both in the
Senate and in the House, as well as
in administration circles, and his name
carries weight in Washington.
That during his career as chief exec
utive he may have made mistakes, only
proves that the future governor is hu-
man. He has guided the ship of state
in perilous times, when mems minds
were intensely heated, and his admins
tration, though meeting with criticism,
has commanded respect.
The duties of governor will be more
onerous than those of President, and
will entail grave responsibilities. These
Mr.. Dole's experience in affairs will
enable him to bear with dignity and
ability. To some the appointment of
Mr.. Dole will be a disappointment, but
to the large majority it will be highly
