issue of this paper the c. ". Rail-
road company will have representa-
'tiyes in the county soliciting rights
Of way along the line. How are
you going Ito receive them? The
Spectator we'll says that this is our
only show for a road, and if the
county cares fora road, it stands
us in hand to at least throw moth
ing in the way Of it's being built
The question is asked hundreds of
times-"Are they going to build
the roads" The fact is they are
building it now. Something may
happen to stop the work, and some
times small GiscouragementS 60 to
make up great bulk of opposition
that thwartS the purposes Of COM
panles and corporations, and de-
prives the people of lasting benefits
actruing from such purposes and
enterprises. There is NJ question
as to the verdict of the m"sses OF
the county on the railroad question.
They want a road, believing that
it would be Of lasting benefit to
the county. The &. W. company
has not worried us about subscrip-
tons Or free rights of way. So far
they have asked for nothing. Up
to this time their work in the coun
ty has not gone beyond the very
necessary preliminary operations
Of finding the best route, which it
seems has been done, and at no
small cost to the company. Those
engaged in this work who have

themselves worthy of our conf

with rare exceptions they have met
with friendly and courteous treat
ment.
Now, it becomes necessary for
them to have a strip of land

made ZIP your mind to be reasona-
bic, or just the opposite? There
are men in the county who could
afford to give free right of way,

Think well of the property actually

A BAD SYSTEM.

One trouble with the volunteer system
of raising armies is to get men into
the ranks after popular enthusiasm has
cooled of. We found 1t so in 1863 and
the bounty system, to be shortly fol-
lowed by the draft, had to be adopted
TO keep the battle line full. Tens OF
thousands of the professional patriots
who have done politics since the war
were either bribed or dragged into the
army and the more strenuous the ma
tionai crisis was the more force had
to be applied to them. England, IL
seems, is having an initial experience
similar to our own. She wants volun-
-teers, some for South African service
and others for a home guard; but as
the glitter OF the military life has worn
of during the last two years and as
enlistment demands some self-sacri-
fee, the young men will not enroll. So
far the call for volunteers is unanswer-
ed and CONSUMPTION may take it's place.
1t is only when war begins. after the
cankers of long peace. that volun-
teering booms; but that is the time
when a trained army and not an un-
drilled mob of civilians. is needed to de-
fend the country In our civil war
volunteers fought volunteers. and il
was two years before either side got on
a soldierly basis. Had either party met
a great armv of regulars it would have
had few victories to its credit.
For a country to be safe from inva-
sion in these times it must be defended
by soldiers who know their business;
not by civilians who have the business
of disciplined fighting to. learn.

DR.. SCUDDER
AT Y. M. c. A

Rev. Doremus Scudder of America and
Japan addressed Yesterdays Y. NJ C. A.
meeting for young men. His subject was
NO Room in the Inn," and he drew
comparison between the birth of Christ
and the human heart. AS the Christ
Mother was turned away from the inn
with the word, no room in the inn,"
so also is Christ turned away from the
human heart. The scene at the birth OF
Christ, said the speaker, had been re-
enacted millions of times in the past
nineteen centuries. Each human heart
is an inn, always open for guests that
wish to come and go. 1t is opened to
spiritual disbelief, hatred, sometimes
murder, and passion may lodge in this
inn. Or it may be thoughts of pleasure,
study, etc. All find a ready access ana
leave behind a fragrance Or some other
evidence of their presence. But Jesus
comse not like these other thoughts to go
again. He remains in the inn, and brings
along joy and encouragement to with
stand trouble ad temptation
The speaker also drew a parallel be-
tween life in an inn and home life. The
one with fine paintings and carpets, the
other with love and tender memories.
The inn or hotel with the dollar mark
written all over its walls, and the other
with the atmosphere of home every
where You may travel the world over,
seeking new experiences and pleasures,
but there will always be something want
ing, a longing always until Jesus has
transformed your heart from an inn into
home

day, and the program was much enliven-
ed by the singing of solos by Raymond

Tgl DEAD BUT NOT MISSED.

The Honolulu Republican, which was
started about a year and a half ago
passed quietly away and was buried
on Saturday last Besides the owner
and his staff there were no mourners
at the funeral, nor did any one send
flowers. The occasion reminded one OF
that which Mr.. Joshua Whitcomb of
1.-The Old Homestead" had in mind
when, in answer to the inquiry of a
! boyhood chum about the complaint
of which Bill Collins died, answered:
There waren't no complaint at ALL Ev-
erybody was satisfied
If there ever was a case Of false pre-
tence in the matter of business pros
poets, business achievements, ETC., it
was that presented by the unlamented
sheet which has now gone to its nat
Gral bourne. 1t was hardly fortnight
old before it began talking of its large
circulation" Later it used the adjec-
tive enormous" In six months time
it programmed a Republican build
ing" to be constructed so that the
great machines used to turn off the
multitude of papers" could be seen
from the street-a structure with thou
sands of square feet for the art room
and palatial fittings generally. All this
time the Republicans actual paid cir
culation, as employees declared, was
about three hundred (worth 1925 per
month. less percentage to newsboys),
the rest of the edition going free to Of
ficials and others at Washington or to
people on the other islands. These tao
tics served to delude some few business
men who advertised and thereby vast
ed every nickel they put in, the three
hundred circulation being by no. means
exclusive. But the tactics did not pay
bills. There was a deficit so great that
the principal stockholder now confesses
to a personal loss of over So 000-which
he fondly hopes to get back by running
his job office in the honored name of
the late Robert Grieve. Even at the
time when the Republican, through
shady deal with the Home Rule Legis-
lature, got large amount of public
printing without bids and at it's own
price, even then the monthly deficit, as
a Disguised stakeholder tells us, was
never less than $500.
One may easily judge from the fate
of the Republican and its congener,
the Volcano how small the numerical
strength of the white anti-Dole faction
actually is. While the Journals which
represent good government and the
commercial needs of the islands have
been growing stronger month by month
and year by year, the journals of the
opposition faction have had to let two
out of their three accepted organs go
to the wall, and the other is in such
unfortunate shape that it dare not let
the newsdealers tell of its sales. All it
does is to adopt the boasting tone with
which the Republican and the Volcano
went to their graveS-"the leading pa
pers" to the last.

IN RE THE BISHOP.

The secular organ of Bishop Will:
insists that His Lordship, if not ar
American Bishop, is the next thing tc
Ii. We quote the Independent, paper
owned by Synodsman Tesla and said
TO be carried on editorially during Mr.
Norrie's convalescence, by a personal
friend of the Anglican Shepherd:
The partisan secular organ of the Rev.
Alex Macintosh and the Second Con-
gregation fails to see wherein Bisnop
Willis is the first American Bishop or
the Protestant Episcopal Church In the
Hawaiian Islands. AS Bishop Willis IS
not an American, we may have erred In
calling him the first American BlSnop,
but we will here assert and Insist tnar
he Is of right the first Bishop or the
Protestant Episcopal Church In the Ha-
waiian Islands. Since he has rendered
his resignation and has sworn allegiance
to the American Church, what else can
he during this, the transition period or
the Church in these Islands, but be the
first Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the Hawaiian Islands. pending
the action Of the Presiding Bishop or
the House of Bishops. AS an Anglican
Bishop, the Bishop of Honolulu had TO
tender his resignation of this See to his
superior in authority, such resignation
being a condition of the transfer of his
See under American jurisdiction, al
though the Church in these Islands was
independent to act as 1t pleased in the
matter of It's transference to any jurfs-
diction II chose, whether to Canada, New
Zealand. Australia, China or Japan, or
any other place.
The Independent ignores the vital
point that the resignation of Bishop
willis from the Anglican body is not
to take effect, under it's own terms, un-'
til April /. In the meantime Mr.. Willis
necessarily remains a Bishop of the
Anglican church. and is now serving
as an ecclesiastical executor of the es-
tate OF the Anglican body in these ISL |
ands-a body not yet formally received I
into the American Episcopate. If, while |
subject, as he acknowledges himself to
be- to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Bishop Willis has sworn allegiance to !
the American church, then he has done
a most irregular thing-and something
more than an irregularity is needed to
endow any man with the rights. titles
and prerogatives of a Bishop under the /
American form.
