THE DoUKHABoRs.

The case of the Doukhabors, Russian
immigrants to Canada, is creating much
interest. These peculiar people arrived
in the Dominion some four years ago,
whittier they were brought by the Ca
madam Pacific railroad to settle on va
cant lands in the middle west and to
labor on the line as section hands. AT
first and, indeed, until lately, the re-
ports about the Doukhabors were
friendly. The people were described as
industrious, honest, temperate, frugal,
self-respecting and religious. Then
came the news of their exodus from
their farms, their march toward the
South in quest, as they said, ''of Jesus, y
their refusal to obey the orders of the
Dominion government, and of the IA
natiefsm of their leaders, one of whom,
young woman, pretended to be the
Virgin Mary. According to the dis
patches these simple Russians have
turned into band of crazy zealots
NdlldSIlhS over the country ana llaDle
at almost any time, to become danger
Gus to the peace.
But different story comes from pri-
vate sources, different, at least, in the
conclusion it reaches about the mean
ing of the Doukhabor outbreak II
appears from this that the peasants
were brought to Canada under false
pretences. They are vegetarians anC
were assured that the soil of the north
ern wilds only needed to be tickled with
| hoe to laugh a harvest. What they
found was a country the subsoil Of
which was almost always frozen. Theil
one reliable crop was meat and thi.
their religious scruples forbade them t.
eat A few staple vegetables yielded {
precarious crop and they had to elk,

Faithful to all their contracts. which

pie farmers, they stayed in the Domin
ion until their purses We're so low tina

they started south for Gods country
They called it seeking Jesus whoS to
them, meant food, and home and sun
shine as well as spiritual comfort. But
here corporate interests arose to drive
them back. The Canadian Pacific rail
road wanted them to stay on the lands
and to do such rough work as was
needed from time to time along the
lines 1t summoned the Dominion gov
ernment 10 its aid. the police and mill
tary were called out, wandering bands
were locked up and the agencies of the
press were used to spread such tales
of the Doukhabors that the hospitaii-
ties of the United States would be
closed to them as undesirable immi-
grants" And SO it comes about that
a country which is easily taking in Po-
fish and Roumanian Jews and italian
and Hungarian peasants is already be-
ginning to make up its mind that it
does not want the Doukhabors.
Perhaps Hawaii, which would like
white labor if the thing could be had,
would find the Doukhabors very de-
slrable class.

The British steamer Duke of Fife has
men of different nationalities to fill

officers are English, her quartermasters

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE,

The defects in the telephone service
of this city are so many and efforts TO
remedy them seem so futile, that it
would be well for the stockholders of
the company to protect themselves
from competition by making a change
of management and rules. Not only is
the service poor as compared with that
of mainland towns and cities but with
that which Honolulu enjoyed in the ola
DAYS This city, ten years ago, was
oven boastful of its telephone facilities
but there is nothing to boast OF now.
Not only are repairs to the SYSTEM
made slowly but the everyday manage
oent. the way customers are treated
cannot be excused on any theory credit
able to those who have the matter OF
detail in charge. At the same time the
nrices fixed are among the highest
known to the telephone business any
where in America.
shortly after the Annexation boom
began the suddenly-increased service
broke down, but the fault was laid TO
the old apparatus at Central. A new
and costly outfit was installed and ex-
perienced people were put at work with
it. For time things went fairly we'll
Then new voices began to be heard at
Central and matters went this way:
Give me White T701.'
What number, please"
White 77O1"
(After long wait the customer gets
Blue 7O1)
Central, why didn't you give me the
number asked for-white 77o1?'
Il did give it to you
mo you didn't Now give me White
77O1"
"Brrr- brrr.''
Red 77O1.''
ITS a mistake! I asked for White.
Central can't you give me White
white-W hite-77O1 %
''All right. goodbye Tommy. Yes.
I'll be there"
Central, sayl Drop Tommy and give
me White 77O1 if you're going to-"
(No answer.)
'.Br-rrr"
What number, please?"
"Give me 6OO."
What number?''
"6OO.''
(Six hundred answers.)
IT have been trying to get White 77O1.
Can you get it for me?"
mo. The lines busy. Call again"
This is no fanciful sketch. Time and
again this newspaper has had such an
experience with Central and it hears of
many others who have had their pa
tience exhausted by the neglect or in
difference of the operators. Sudden
calls for physicians, calls for the police
or the fire department, things of the
greatest urgency, are subject to delays
which would not be tolerated in any
community having legislative or mu-
nicipal relief at hand.
Within the last six months two tele
phone enterprises have taken form in
this city and it is probable that one or
both of them win apply to the Legis- !
lature for a franchise. Ordinarily Ho-
nolulu people would prefer but one tele-
phone system, as in that case every
body would be connected with it and |
40 necessity would exist, as it once did
in this city, to have two phones in
the office or house. But when broken
lines and an incompetent Central SER
vice combine to make the existing sys-
tenn a trial to the nerves, the desire |
to have a competing line in the field |
becomes general enough ito have an eff
feet upon legislative policy.

Keener is the young woman who as
sisted another girl in tagging a Pan

from running on to a burning bridge

track to meet the train and waved their

the train, and ever since the incident
he has been in love with Miss Keener,
