politically and morally had It not been for
the wise Intervention of Governor Dole.
They sent to Congress man representa-
tive of the lowest classes In the archipel-
ago and allied closely to the old monarchi-
cal system They precipitated quarrels
which have interfered with the exercise of
the administrative functions and have
even developed scandals in the Judiciary.
But there is reason to look for better
meRt. The delegate to Congress Is fast
transferring his political allegiance. He
has modified his views and is now headed
straight for conservatism. The evils which
menaced the islands have been warded Off
by the barriers erected by the mainland
government. The natives have begun to
learn the lesson of seif-control and the
folly of political division along race lines.
The administration in this city has stood
steadfastly in support of the island ex-
ecutive. and there is a prospect that the
second legislature will be of a better char
acter than the first
Nevertheless the experience has not been
a pleasant one for either Hawaii or her
friends in the states The territory has
been set back somewhat by the shock OF
the legislative failure. Yet, with excellent
prospect of curing of the evils which
have been so distinctly shown in Hawaii
during this year Of representative terri
tOrial government, 1t may be believed that
the experience has not been wholly lost
An object lesson in avoidance has been
afforded for possible application to the
case of the Philippines. The United States
has found that it is unwise to start a peo-
pie long accustomed to absolute dominance
by another power too far along on the
road toward complete independence at the
outset of a new career. The race is not
to those who set the sharpest pace at the
start. Hawaii is learning by bitter expe-
rience that self-government is not mat
ter of mere enactment or proclamation, but
of gradual evolution through progressive
stages.

The Hot Wave.

Washington hopes never again to expert
ence such a week as that which closed with
a shower Saturday afternoon. The intense
heat which prevailed for ten days practi-
cally without a break brought unprecedent-
ed distress to the people. The death record
was sweIIed from this cause beyond ex-
perience. Sixty-nine persons succumbed dl-
rectly to the suns influence. according to
reports sent to the health officer, while 1t Is
assured that scores more lost their lives
while suffering from other causes VINO
would perhaps have recovered mad II not
been for the heavy drain the heat maze
upon their weakened life forces This rec
ord is small in comparison with that writ
ten in other cities where the death roll
went into the hundreds. 1t must be recOl-
lected however that while Washington Is
regarded generally as very hot city IN
summer, it has advantages which enable 1t
TO withstand the onslaught of the sun bet
ter than more northern communities. let
with all the parks and trees and with the
river to cool the air, with an abundant
water supply for street washing, with an
effective sanitary service and with mini
mum of arduous outdoor work for the pee-
Pile the capital passed through period of
the keenest suffering. The showers of Sat
urday and Sunday brought relief and there
seems to be a prospect that for the immedi-
ate present at least the thermometer will
not range into the heights which are dan
gerous to life. 1t is, of course, beyond
human power to foretell what the latter
portion of the season will bring. On the
score of averages it is possible to believe
that the summer record has been written
sufficiently high already to warrant a medi-
UNI temperature during the next two
months, with perhaps an occasional squirt
with consequent temporary suffering. The
danger arises when the intense heat pre-
walls without interruption for a hundred
hours or more for then the nights become
so hot that it is impossible to secure suf-
ficient sleep to fortify the system for con-
tinued resistance to the caloric.

Good and Bad Roads

The recent automobile race from Paris
to Berlin attracted international attention
because Of the keen interest which is Just
now taken in the mechanical vehicle. While
Europeans were chiefly concerned in the
performance Of the distinctive types of ma
chimes. Americans could not avoid the
. thought that such a race is virtually i'm
possible in this country under conditions
promising any fair test of quality There
are no such roads here as those which In
Europe permit inter-city automobHing and
wheeling. Our highways save for short
distances outside Of the larger cities, are
disgracefulIy rough and unkept. Much has
been done in the past few years to awaken
the people to a sense Of this condition. and
the movement has been greatly accelerated
by the wide popularity which the bicycle
and the automobile have gained. 1t is to
be hoped that the race Of last week will
so stimulate the pride Of the American
steam and electric machine owners that a
dozen years hence it will be possible to
organize a thousand-mile race out of any
one of a score of scattered cities under
ideal road conditions
1t Is a noteworthy fact that until very re-
Gently nothing has been done in this coun-
try TO collect and study road statistics. The
good roads division Of the Department of
Agriculture, which has been doing excel
lent work for several seasons. has lately I'M
dertaken to remedy this defect and is now
engaged in gathering data as TO the char
acter and number of vehicles which use
certain roads. 1t Is hoped that in this man.
ner it may be possible to demonstrate by
figures the extent to which the highways
are used by various classes. This will per-
Nit the study on an accurate basis of the
III ~f
terials under varying conditions. The in
stitutiOn Of this inquiry leads to the hope
that by thus Systematically approaching the
subject the governments bureau may
eventually arouse the interest of state leg
islatures 10 the point Of the enactment Of
uniform highway laws. 1t is only by con-
certed action in this manner and by the
adoption of even standards of excellence in
all the states that roads will be produced
which will compare favorably with those of
Europe.

The failure of Independence to sustain
herself in Saturdays race to windward and
return off Newport in company with Con-
stitution and Columbia may have been due,
as suggested. to poor handling, but the
concensus of yachting opinion on the
ground appears to be that the Boston boat
failed utterly to develop championship
qualities in the light airs which prevailed
There will be ample opportunity under
other conditions, in all likelihood, to prove
conclusiyely whether the boat is a trust
worthy representative of American CON-
struction. or is deficient In one or more Of
the elements required in cup defender
The showing of Saturday was a shock TO
those who had been led to believe, from the
preliminary reports, that Independence was

petitor for the honor of defending the cum

The Ohio Democracy.

The Ohio democrats will occupy the CEN
ter of the stage tomorrow and Wednes-
day. The eyes of fOrty-five states VIII be
turned toward Columbus. There is bust
ness of far more than local Importance 10
be transacted. We are to witness. indeed,
the first real trial of strength between the
Bryanites and the anti-Bryanite in the
contest for the reorganization of the demo-
cratic party. OF talk on that subject there
has been an abundance. The time has ar
rived now for action Will the Organizes
be strong enough TO force an Endorsement
of the Kansas City platform? Or will the
anti Organizes headed by Mr.. Mclean rule
out the whole of Organism. and by doing
so take the lead in the fight to free the
party ali over the country from Mr.. Bry-
ans control?
Interest centers in the platform The
nomination for governor will go. it is under
stood. to Col KiIbourne a rich and ambi-
tious man who has several times sought
the honor but always before under a
heavy handicap. AS everything comes to
him who waits. and works, this much de-
sired thing has ut last come to Col. Kill
bourne, He wants to be governor of Ohio
and maybe his ambition would be satisfied
with that office. At any rate there is no
speculation linking his name with either
the United States Senate or the presidency.
But can he reach even the governors
chair? That depends,
Organism in Ohio has been a "sinker."
The state is one Of the most prosperous in
the Union. and has a highly intelligent
population. Never in the whole thirty
years of its agitation has cheap money
ever won a victory in that commonwealth.
As adopted and championed by MI Bryan.

The victories scored for Mr. Mckinley and
Governor Nash With the money issue in
the foreground are the most pronounced in
the history of the state. 1t would seem
therefore to be the part of wisdom for the
democracy at Columbus to eliminate silver
and ali else for which Mr. Bryan stands
from their calculations. Why not a pro-
nouncement wholly ignoring Mr.. Bryan and
his crusade?
The trouble is that. notwithstanding the
reverses that have been encountered in his
name and under his leadership, Mr. Bryan
has following in Ohio that must be reck-
oned with 1t would resent at the polls any
direct or implied affront to him. 1t be-
lieves in him and in his doctrines, and
seems pleased with his proposition to keep
up the battle for the old platform. If

platform adopted. what show would Col

win? The buckeye democrats have never
in their lives had a harder nut to crack.

Hawaii's Lesson.

There is no reason TO be pessimistic over
the extension of American rule TO island
peoples because the first stage OF the terri
torial government in Hawaii has fallen
short of the expected mark There is no
doubt that mistakes were made in granting
10 Hawaiians franchise far more liberal
than they were competent to exercise. 1t
was in excess Of that which they had
been enjoying under the island republic
and beyond that which was advised by the
congressional commissioners who visited
the islands for the purpose Of framing a
fundamental law. Had the advice Of those
who knew the conditions in Hawaii been
followed by Congress in this important
matter of establishing representative gov
ernment for the new territory many, If not
most, Of the mistakes OF the past twelve
months would have been avoided. But in
characteristic congressional fashion the
bill was changed from house TO house with
out reference to the imperative REQUIRE
ments Of the case and against the sugges-
tons of those best qualified to advise. and
from the final conference IL emerged with
suffrage provision which represented a
compromise on the lines OF the utmost fin
erality short of an unqualified franchise.
In consequence of this unwise grant of
suffrage to natives who were unready 10
exercise IL q Legislature was chosen which
would have ruined the territory financially.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.


The local labor and trades councils have
begun to organize in favor of the re-enact-
ment of the Chinese exclusion law. The
movement has begun none too soon, al
though Congress will not be in session for
several months. But eastern sentimental
lists who favor unrestricted Chinese i'm
migration have started crusade against
the exclusion act and are endeavoring by
misrepresentation to break down the bar
riers which now prevent our shores from
being overrun by the cheap and degraded
coolie labor of the orient. These misrepre-
sensations must be refuted otherwise Con-
gress may be deluded into believing that
they are true. White labor, on the Pacific
coast at least, cannot afford to run any
risks 1t has not forgotten the years Of
suffering and distress which unrestricted
coolie immigration produced before the ex-
clusion laws were enforced. 1t took white
labor and the industries which white labor
created years to recover from the evil eff
fects of Chinese cheap labor after the cx-
clusion law went into effect. 1t has taken
nearly twenty years to get precise judi
cial Interpretation Of the provisions OF the
act. 1t is now in fair working order.

Prince Won Hohenlohe though the occu-
pant in his time of the highest position in
the German empire open to one not of the
royal family, did not become a command
ing figure. He was Swallowed as chancellor
by Bismarck and by the independent will
of his sovereign. He was an excellent fig
urehead for certain uses for a time and he
was forced out of office mainly because his
extreme age could not withstand the pres
sure of service under SO erratic a master
as William. He was a Studious, kindly
man. lacking the INSCRIPTIONS Indifference
to higher morals than consideration of the
states need and opportunities which a Eu-
ropean CHARACTERISTIC appears to require
for success. When Bismarck was retired
and Hohenlohe was given his post it was
freely observed that he would soon follow
his more nlustrious predecessor into prI-
vate life in favor of a servant better suited
to the temperament of the kaiser. Ameri-
cans will feel kindly toward Hohenlohe' s
memory, for he at no time Joined the cry
against this country which has of late
years seriously strained the trade and po-
lftical relations of the two governn ents.
