deed, is the time for the Christian ideals and
precepts of purity, of brotherhood, of kindness,
of truthfulness, of fair dealing, of charity, to
be kept in sight and mind, in international rela-
tions, in the relations of races, in the relations
between employers and employed-in a word,
throughout the entire world of affairs. It is a
practical man, a student Of economics-the Hon.
Carroll D. W~right-who makes the following re-
markable statement: II believe that in the adop-
ton Of the philosophy of the religion of Jesus
Christ as a practical creed for the conduct of
business lies the easiest and s~peediest solution
of those industrial difficulties which are exciting
the minds of men to-day and leading many to
think that the crisis of government is at hand."-

A Lay Sermon for Christmas.

The pulpit is the proper place for those Christ
mas suggestion which touch the intimate and
secret religious life. But there is plenty of
scope, in the idea of Christmas, for lay sermons
having to do with conduct. Christianity is a
force not only in the journey of the soul, but in
craftsmanship, in commerce., in the industrial
world-or it should be. Where its precepts are
lost sight of in these relations, nations and indi-
viduals suffer. This suffering may take the shape
OF physical loss, or it may be felt in loss of good
repute, or in the generalization that comes with
loss of self-respect.
1t is dangerous for the nation, or the corpora
ton, or the association, or the man, to say that
Christian precepts cannot be applied in affairs
of State and of business-that this would be a
counsel of ~softness, and an invitation to defeat.
Christianity is not all softness: one has to re-
member the scourge in the hand of the cleanser
of the temple as we'll as the cheek turned to the
smiter. It is not necessary to translate the
spirit of Christianity into a system of Intellectual
nOn-resistance one has to remember also, that
success won through unchristian methods may be
the most dismal failure of all-that, in the ia
miliar and telling phrase, one may gain the
whole world and lose his own soul. The man
of affairs who deliberately sets aside the Chris
tan precepts in his daily doings is generally
watched with suspicion by his fellows. No one
has the right to say that such precepts are alto
gether impracticable unless he has made an hon
est and, mind you! a sensible attempt to apply
them. When we speak of Christian precepts, in
a lay sermon like this, we refer especially to those
ethics of Christianity which are theoretically &C
cepted by the followers of other religions.
Surely history shows what the Christian spirit
has done in the past. It is Lecky, the historian,
who says that the "three short years" of the ac-
tive life of Christ have "done more to rejuvenate
and soften mankind than all the disquisitions of
philosophers" The reverend author of the re
cent work, "The Fact of Christ" says that Jesus
who lived in Palestine is more distinctly and
critically known to our age than He has been
known to any age since His own 1t is certainly
+rue that the philanthropic, the altruistic, what
MO NAV call the Christian idea, is practically at
work in this our age as never before, through
AGENCIES innumerabIe.
Rut some of the greatest questions with which
b,,r ,anitv has ever had to deal are still to be
so+tlod-are, indeed, pressing down upon our own
Emo and day with startling actuality. Now, in

The Record of the Year.
(From the WORLDS Work.

AS the end of the year draws nigh we may
congratulate ourselves that it will leave the world
in much better plight than it found it. When
it began there was war in South Africa and there
we're troublesome hostilities in the Philippines.
Now peace is broken, if broken at all, only by
the unrest in Venezuela and Colombia and in
Hayti that follows their revolutions and in Africa
where the "Mad Mullah" has attacked the British.
And not only is the world at peace, but the great
nations are more securely linked together, per-
haps, than they ever we're before. New forces
for peace are at work-especially two of the
strongest possible world influences; an organized
and closely-knit commerce., which none can af-
ford to disturb for fear of a lasting loss of trade,
and in particular the overwhelming commercial
power of the United States, which would gain a
still surer lead by the suspension of industrial
activity in any important country. The little
periodical adjustments of power and of privilege
that the nations used to make by special treaties
we're crude and weak guarantees of peace in COM
parison with the compelling power of modern
and all that it implies. The most re
cent wars were really only frontier wars.
Men without historical knowledge easily be-
Iieve that their own era is a new era in the world.
But men with historical knowledge now see in
ternational conditions that are radically different
and radically better for peace than any of the
battered centuries behind US knew. The ~unfetter-
ing of the dominant race of men by free institu-
lions to free opportunity on the most fruitful
continent and the industrial rise of the Republic
fortifying its political power, have put all ma
tions in a new relation to one another and in a
new relation to civilization. This revolutionary
fact has become palmer this year than it ever was
before. It's far-reaching significance we do not
yet see; but it looks like a great force that will
work for the s~teadying of governments and for
the sane direction of endeavor for centuries to
come. For it is the natural result of a great
law of human development and not an advantage
won by the strength of armies or by the skill of
diplomatists or by any other power that may
change with a change of rulers and of genera
lions. The industrial man becomes stronger, the
political man weaker; and economic force is be-
ginning to rule the world as military force once
ruled it.-From the Worlds Work.

MANY DEPORTED
FOR TRACHOMA
EYE DISEASE SEEMS TO BE VERY
PREVALENT AMONG JAPANESE
ARRIVING AT THIS PORT.

The S. S. China was delayed a short
time today in sailing for the Orient. She
got away at 1920 p. m. The vessel
took So deported Japanese, of this num-
Der AS were afflicted with trachoma,
the disease of the eye which has been
so prevalent among Japanese immi-
grants arriving here recently. The rest
of the crowd of deported persons were
members of the families of the sick peo-
pie who desired to return to Japan. All
of those who left today We're brought
by the Nippon Maru last week.
Judging from recent occurrences, ira
choma seems to be very prevalent in
Japan. The crowd deported today
makes a total of 1913 people denied land
ing on account of having this disease;
as SO were sent away on the Hong
Kong Maru last week.
H .Hackfeld and Company the agents
of the Oriental line have written to
their various agents in Japan to ex-
ercise special care against selling tick
cts to japanese afflicted with trachoma.

PLANS FOR THE
CABLE OPENING
THE MATTER CAME UP AT THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEET
ING THIS MORNING.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce was held this
morning, but several committee reports
being deferred, there was no actual
business placed before the meeting
There will be a special meeting held
within a week at which the committee
on advertising, now working with a
similar committee from the Merchants
Association, will report. Some action
of the Chamber with regard to the Sc
lection of sites for federal buildings
Will be brought up at that time, prob
ably an endorsement of the report of
the Governors committee.
Some slight discussion as to sites
came up this morning Mr.. Lowrey
stating that he thought conditions in
Honolulu were to an extent peculiar.
There were no mails arriving here
hourly and when a big stack of mail
came in, as it did on the China last
night, or on any steamer, merchants
and many private individuals were un-
able in the case of important letters to
wait for a free delivery, but did and
would continue to call at the post Of
flee for their mail.
f. w .Macfarlane asked if the Cham
Der of Commerce had received any
communication from that body in San
the cable and some suitable celebra ton
for the occasion.
The Merchants Association have re-
ceived a letter from their sister insti-
tuition in San Francisco suggesting
that the first message would probably
be from President Roosevelt to Gov
ernor Dole, and the second should be
from neither the Chamber of Commerce
or the Merchants Association in San
Francisco to similar bodies here. 1t
was also suggested that a dinner be
held simultaneously, allowing for diff
ference in time, at which the message
would be read. The local Chamber will
defer action until the arrival of later
mails in the possibility that the San
Francisco Chamber will yet write on
the subject. 1t is the sense of the local
Chamber that something should be
done by them as body on the openirS
of the cable.

THE GOOD FELLOW"
Business Circles Full of Them and
They Sometimes Come to Grief

An official of a western city has dis
appeared in circumstances which in
| dictate that well-founded criminal
charges would have been made against
| him had he remained at his post Yet
we are told that the fugitive is still held
in high regard by many of his fellow
citizens, for the reason that he is "a
| good fellow" His reputation in tins
| respect did not date, as is usual with
good fellows in politics, from the time
| when he got in touch with the city's
| purse strings. 1t began many years
ago when as a practicing physician he
visited the invalid poor free of charge,
and even furnished medicines to pa
tients too poor to pay for them. Thus
he acquired the affection of thousands
who benefited by or had heard OF his
kindness of heart. His disposition did
not change when he got into politics,
an he seems to'fave been mentally un-
able to refuse the demands made upon
him, although his personal means were
unequal to them.
Good fellows of this kind are not I'M
common in classes other than political
and they are among the curses of So
ciety. A generous disposition does not
imply that its possessOr has a proper
equipment of moral qualities, or indeed
that he has any moral qualities at all.
Society is full of good fellows who give
big dinners and other entertainments,
the price of which is borrowed with
out prospect of repayment, from men
who dislike to refuse anything to a
good fellow Sometimes it is even alb
stracted from trust funds or withheld
from the necessities of the good fellows
own family. Business circles are fun
of good fellows who are always ready
to take night off with the boys" or
to lend their money, or to indOrse notes
for their friends Sooner or later they
come to grief and find no one to help
them, for every man of means knows
that no one can help a spendthrft, but
the example Of such downfalls does not
deter other entries for the good fellow
pionship.-Saturday Evening Post.

.DOLE'S LATEST
Recommendation
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE sECRE-
TARY OF THE INTERIOR TOUCH
ING HAWAIIAN MATTERS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November %.
The annual report of the Secretary
of the Interior contains several pages
of matter about Hawaii. Governor
Dole's report is reviewed and his recon-
mendations as to legislation are incor-
porated into the secretary's report.
The Department has recently been
advised by formal notice of the defal-
cations of Hawaiian officials but there
is nothing to be done regarding it at
this end. The additional recommended
tion of Governor Dole, inserted in the
proof of his annual report, which was
sent back to Honolulu, for eqrrectiop, is
of interest in the light of this defalca-
ton. The last recommendation by
Governor Dole is:
That Section 80 of the act to pro-
vide a government for the Territory of
Hawaii be amended so that the Gov
ernor may suspend any officer in regard
to the removal of whom the advice and
consent of the Senate is necessary, I'M
til the next succeeding session of the
Senate and may except in case of the
auditor, appoint a person to fill the of
flee in question pro tempore until the
matter of the removal of the suspend
ed officer is settled, or may remove any
of such officers. That the tenure of
office of Inspectors of Election be fixed
at two years instead of four, as now
provided by the organic act, section so,
and that the Governor be empowered to
remove them from Office at his dis
erection"
