GERMANY's COLONIES.

Last November DR.. Vosberg Rekow,
director of the Bureau for the Prepare
tion of Commercial Treaties which are
troubling the Germans so much just
now, because they must all be renew
ed in 1908, and this is not a propitious
time for the work, made the following
statement before the merchants Of
Lubbock, He said:
1T is evident that we can never give
mp our present policy relative to for
eign affairs, or the strenuous efforts
being made to become great sea
power. We must engage in colonial
politics on a large scale We must
strive to expand our spheres Of interest
and to instill i'm our people the con-
seriousness Of the necessity of an ag-
gressive policy 1t is only by the an
neXation Of territory beyond the seas,
the development of our colonies, the
organization and direction of emigra-
ton to the same, that we may ever
hope 70 be in a position to supply those

The ideal relations between q colony
and the mother country are those
which permit the colony to pro-
duce the raw material, which the
mother country receives and sends
back in a manufactured state; but in
accordance with an irresistible law of
economies. a colony with great mate
rial resources will gradually emanci-
pate itself from the mother country.
1t is doubtful, however, whether this
viii shortly be true of any of the pres
ent colonies of Germany. In almost
every part of the world where her ac-
QUESTIONS are situated, there is in the
I az
Great Britain or of some other country
which is better able to produce colonial
products. German East Africa has for
its neighbor on the north British East
Africa, with the harbor of Zanzibar;
on the west, the Kongo Free State,
which the Kongo River intersects, af-
fording natural advantages of trans
| pOrtatiOn. The reputed better quality
Of soil for growing tropical products,
| too, will immensely assist those colo
MES on the road to material progress.
| The commercial development of Ger
man Southwest Africa will zone day
probably be retarded by the COMPETE
ton and aggressiveness of Cape Colony,
! Germany's share in the exports of her
own colonies is only so per cent, while
of all the products required by the
colonies, the mother country supplied
but so per cent. Great Britain, either
directly or through the medium of hel
colonies, has a monopoly of almost hall

The views Of Of U. S. Consular Agen
Harris from whose report the above /.
taken, are not, therefore very favor.
abb to German colonial development
and the present very depressed condi
ton Of German trade, and the artizar
and labOring class bears him out in hi
views. Colonies are sometimes a bless
ing, but if we go far enough back int
history they have sometimes proved
a stumbling block. The Greeks founC

Yesterday the Board Of Health
displayed it's lit5leness 10 holding
it's meeting within its "own narrow
CELL" which was altogether too
small to accommodate all those who
attended with sufficient seating
space. The attendance was com,
posed almost entirely Of Hawaiians,
thereby showing that they as class
took the subject Of cemeteries
strongly to heart, it being to them
the final disposition Of their "mortal
coil" We hope that, when the
Board call for another meeting
for discussion OF he subject in the
future, according to It's decision
yesterday, it will not again display
it's littlene:s by holding such an i'm
portant meeting, which means o
great deal to Hawaiians, in sma'l
incommodious quarters, but may
seek larger and more healthful
location, where all those who may
wish to attend may be accommodate d
and seated, and not kept standing.

We are OF the opinion that the
Government should create aud estab-
lish new public cemeteries, to con-
form to the city's growth, but it
should not be made as hardship
on the poor among our own people.
But the present cemeteries as they
have been and are, at the present
time, available to all to be buried
therein, providing they are not yet
full. We understand that in Europe.
England in particular, many people
are buried in one grave, the graves
at the first digging being dug to a
depth Of about 8 feet, Ii it has been
done there, which no doubt has
been going on for centuries, why
can not the same plan be carried out
here. This was done there, we
understand, in order to save land,
aud we feel the same method can be
as we'll applied and adopted here.
1t will take yet many more years
before our present cemeteries will
be filed, and at this writing, we
cannot see the urgent necessity for
the proposition of closing the ceme-
telies OF the city without specified
cause.
