There is a growing, if unexpressed,
Oeliei perVadlng every sphere of our
social structure that as the state is en-
titled to levy tax upon it's citizens in
exchange for the comforts secured by
them while living under it's protection.
SO is the community entitled to tax
every citizen who has achieved intel
lectual distinction, in exchange for
Such benefits as he may derive there
from. This view is no doubt correct,
Out taxation is recognized as legitimate
only IN so far as it is kept within just
limits, and to-day an individuals tai
ems are as grudgingly admitted to he
ms own as is his wealth. No sooner
does man display a capacity above
that OF the average than he becomes
a target for the steady and diversified
demands of his fellow citizens. Here
dlgnif1ed and deeply learned Shakespe-
rean scholar is dragged out of his re-
treat to read for the benefit of school
OF art work-and he may deem
himself fortunate if a preface eXtolling
the schools achievement is not also
exacted of his good nature-there
former ambassador is torn from his
distant Western haunts and gently but
nrmly brought to an Eastern church
hall to talk about the Spanish War to
an audience of messenger boys. Nor
does it make much difference if he
knows but little of Spain and if his ca
reer has led him exclusively through
paths of peace. He is a parsonage. The
Spanish War is the topic of the day.
The people wish to see and hear him.
1t becomes a public duty. He must pay
the tax levied upon his prominence.
Indeed, little discrimination is made
by the new tyrant as to his victim S
qualification for the task imposed upon
him. Whether he is a savant, lit
terateur, statesman. an actor
journalist, or a diplomat, every man OF
note, unless he consistently surrounds
himself with a frigid atmosphere OF
chilling selfishness, will sooner or later
find himself a slave.

HARBOR DREDGING.

Dredging Honolulu harbor is a duty
for the United States government to
meet whenever Congress, in framing n
River and Harbor bill, shall supply the
means. If the interests of the City
and Territory were of kind to lend
themselves to delay the Advertiser
would certainly oppose the output of
single Territorial dollar upon Federal
public works in any form. But unfor-
tunately for us the leaders in Congress
have declared that there Is to be no
River and Harbor bill this year and in
the meantime steamers will come to
the port, bidding for our business,
which will draw more water than the
harbor affords. Such vessels are ex-
pected early i'm 1904. If il is given out
that modern liners cannot enter here,
damage will be done to the present
trade and the commercial reputation of
the port. We simply cannot afford to
have such fact demonstrated. For
our local benefit we must provide
against 1t by dredging the harbor at
our own expense, depending on the
sense of justice in Congress- for future
reimbursement. Indeed we can better
afford to pay the bill ourselves with
out chance of getting the money
back than to compel the steamers that
want to do business with us to anchor
outside, assuming that, under such cir
cumstances. they would come this way
at all. To hold it's ocean trade Is the
paramount commercial duty of Hawaii.
This Is important enough to even justi-
fy the abolition of all port charges,
making Honolulu free entrepot of
commerce In all save the collection of
duties by the Federal authority.
The lowest bids for dredging are rea-
sonable and work ought to proceed out
of the first funds obtainable from the
million dollar loan.

Promotion Committee, since it's forma-

information yesterday told Chairman
Smith of the commencement of work

Committee.
The committee has secured the ser
vices of L. L. Whitlock, who conducts
in Los Angeles the Travel and Hotel
Bureau, a newly established concern
having the support of the principal
railroad lines and southern California
hotels, and work in that district is
therefore being pressed vigorously.
Miss Whitlock has had eight years
experience in Southern California tour
list work, and has already undertaken
the organization of special conducted
parties to come TO Hawaii. Should
this plan prove success, 1t is the in
tention that Mrs. Walker. formerly of
the Melrose of this city, will be engage
ed as guide and chaperone. The Pro-
motion Committee is already securing
all possible data as to routes and ex-
penses, for the purpose of furthering
the organization Of these personally
conducted tours.

CHE IA PLAYERS
CONE TO GRIEF

Two Chinese che ia players came to
grief in the police court yesterday
morning, being fined $25 each The
method of prosecution as outlined in
yesterdays Advertiser was followed
by Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
The cases were heard during the
morning and afternoon sessions of the
court. The lottery was shown not
to have come to the stage where the
winning name was given out at the
rendezvous appointed. William Craw-
ford, who was put on the stand by the
defense, admitted that he was a che
ia expert, and the case of the defense
almost fell through at that point.
Mr. Cathcart asked that the defend
ants be adjudged not guilty on the
ground that there was no evidence of
che ia having been played, whereupon
Mr.. Chillingworth sprung a surprise
In threat to arrest the men for gross
cheat for having taken money from
purchasers of tickets, and having moth
Ing whatever to indicate that the pur-
chasers would be remunerated in any
way.
1t was brought out by the prosecu-
ton that marked money had been
given the che ia ticket sellers, and this
was found on the defendants when
arrested. Six other Chinese, arrested
at the rendezvous where the winning
name was to have been given out, were
discharged.
The police department Is waging an
active warfare against che ia. and they
have information to the effect that n
determined effort Will be made to es-
tablish the banks
