Spread of Disease.

Concerning the spread of the disease
the circular continues:
There IS no other disease that is
so readily and certainly conveyed fy
contact. Tt is also conveyed by. ex5os-
ing healthy animals. even for an IN

cars that have been occupied by affected
animals. The disease is also carried
by small animals, as dogs, eats. rats.

clothing OF men. A road along which
diseased cattle have passed may retain
enough virus to infect other cattle that
pass over the same place several heurE

MORRIS N. ESTEE.

The late Morris NJ Estee was by
nature and training a statesman. Had
he belonged to any important State
especially an Eastern one, he would long
ment of the Federal government. His
personal right to aspire to a cabinet
portfolio was recognized by more than
one President; but such promotion is
rarely given any man whose State
cuts an inconsequential figure in the
Electoral College. California, politi-
cally speaking, has scant influence;
and 1t could not back Estee in his
legitimate ambitions In the national
field. But 1t did the best it could for
him at home. He was speaker of the
Assembly, was always leader in par
ty politics and was twice honored with
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor. That he did not win the guber
material post was not the fault of the
people of Califor. "a save as they had
let the Southern Pacific railroad be-
come greater then they. Defeat, I'M
der such circumstances, was more of
an honor to Estee than victory, with
the help Of the railroad. could have
been. 1t added to popularity al
ready large.
Judge Estee came to Hawaii over
three years }. AS his acquaintance
grew he made friends and no enemies
and though there were those who diff
fered from him in some, of his views
upon public questions, no friction or
acerbity resulted. His good faith was
always clear Judge Estee had a
kindly soul and a true heart. Some
where in his catholic spirit he found
n good word for every one. 1t was
impossible to meet him without being
impressed by his friendliness, his con-
sideration and respect for others. his
honesty and open1ess of mind. Those
who knew him well came to regard
him as a philosopher and a sage, one
to whom they would go when seeking
sincere advice or when in trouble or
Impression.
AS jurist, the concrete memorial he
leaves behind Is his volume of reports
great work of law and justice, one
which covered the whole period of his
judicial service here. The publishers
placed in his hands the first completed
copy and though Judge Estee was near
the valley and the shadow the sight
of the book frightened his eye and
flushed his cheek as II he was saying
In his heart, II have fought good
fight have lished my course, have
kept the faith" Cheering his last
hours was the vision of wise service
faithfully performed.

Minister on Way to oorea.

DIR. Horance N. Allen, United States
minister to Corea, was in Honolulu
yesterday and entertained some friends
at the Young Hotel. He is
to returning to Corea at once owing
to the unsettled condition Of affairs
there. DIR. Allen has held the Corean
post for many years and is said to be
the most powerful foreigner in the
Hermit Kingdom. He is a modest, re-
firing man OF about fifty years. He
first went to the Far East as a mis-
sionary doctor. At this time the mis-

THE FEDERAL JUDGESHlP.

There Is good deal of gossip about
the succession TO the Federal judge
ship and among lawyers who know
the California judiciary there Is no
member of II whose name has been
mentioned for the post, who commands
cordial support. 1t Is the hope of
the bar that the President will give
Hawaii as we'll as California chance
to be heard.
The name of Governor Dole is men,
toned as a possible appointee, but 1t
Is not known whether he would con-
sent to be n candidate. He was once
on the Supreme Bench of Hawaii, was
Just Judge and is a learned lawyer.
Hon. Henry T.. Hightons name has
also been proposed. He has some I'M
doubted elements of strength both in
California and Hawaii. He was
pioneer OF the Golden State and during
his forty and more years of law prac-
tice tried more cases than any other
lawyer there, many of them being or

never held a public office and never

port Bryan in 1896 and in 1900 spoke
for Mckinley at Metropolitan Hall,
San Francisco. Since coming to Ha-
wall he has supported the Republican
party and sympathized with the con-
sentative interests here. A man of
great legal learning and judicial mind
he would dignity the bench.

"SNOWY SLOP" ADVERTISING.

The Bulletin wants the public to
support the amazing scheme to attract
people here from the blizzard belt by
telling them that even In the tropics
they Will find snow. Just how the
public can do it is not stated; but
perhaps If people will make haste to
write their freezing friends in the
northeast that Hawaii affords fine
skating, steam-heated hotels and to-
boggan slides for six months in the
year, the chllblain tourists will hustle
this way in time to eat Thanksgiving
dinner on the top - Mauna Kea.
We shall await with some interest
the effect of this innovation in South
Sea advertising upon the rival semi
tropical resorts on the mainland which
have, for years, been heartlessly be-
quilting people to get out of the snow
banks and enter land of everlasting
summer. Perhaps Florida will now
mend her ways and advertise in this
wise: Sunny days and frosty nights!
Come and bring your blankets to the
land where the rose-bushes hang with
icicles and the watermelons are cooled
In natures own refrigerator. Ham
Knocks by day and cold storage by
night. Greatest variety of climate
known" Or perhaps Southern Cali
fornia will stop its "senseless chatter"
about June in January" and say,
as we do, January in June. Come
to the Land of Cold Feet. The
Blizzard Belt is also here! Pick frozen
oranges from the trees! Spend Christ
mas in Southern California beside the
blazing Yule Log
If Florida and Southern California
do this We shall have to come up with
something better than Snowy slopes"
to keep our share of the overcoat trade.
How would 1t do to advertise Mark
Twain's prose poem paraphrased as
follows:
mo arctic land in all the world has
any deep, strong charm to me but
that one; no other land could so long
ingly and shiveringly haunt me, freez-
ing or thawing, as that one has done.
Other things warm me, but It congeals;
other things melt but 1t remains the
same, For me its blizzard airs are
always blowing. its Icy seas glittering
in the sun; the thunder of its glaciers
Is in my ear: l can see its snowy
craigs, its frozen cascades. its bergs
crowding by the shore; its remote
submits floating like polar islands
above the ice-blink: I can feel the
spirit of the boreal solitude; l can
hear the plash of its walruses; In my
nostrils stlll lives the breath of the
Eskimo who persisted twenty years
ago"
That would fetch 'em.

more warmly =. t. extremities than
1t does about the heart; and in Cana
da, India, South Africa and Australia
| pride in the majesty and might of
Britain is more intense and patriotism
more fervent than it is in the shadow
of Westminster.
| And yet it is perfectly clear that 4
dependent position is not to be coveted
by strong and vigorous people any
more than it is by strong and vigor-
Gus and self-respecting man. Further
more it is a bar to prosperity. Why
is it that the Dominion has Jagged
so far behind contiguous portions of
the Emitted States? There is no ques-
ton of race involved, for Canada as
well as its southern neighbor has
firm basis in Anglo-Saxon manhood.
Canada where the contrast with
American energy and prosperity is
strongly marked, lie to the south of
line drawn along the southern bor-
der of several prosperous American
States. The truth seems to be that a
dependent provincial State comes to
lack initiative even where it has a
large measure Of home rule; and it is
fact, susceptible OF various inter-
pretations, that such a country never
attracts settlers in the ratio that inde-
pendent States. similarly situated as
to climate, resources and institutions,
do. Canada has labored hard for i'm
migrants and has secured great
many, but she has trouble in keeping
them. Save in the Northwest where
rich lands near the railroad have even
attracted Americans over the line,
Canada has suffered a constant drain
of her newly-acquired population.
And so 1t comes about that single
States of the vast American Union,
lying on her very borders, have be-
come more important than the whole
Dominion of Canada. Every Canadian
knows in his heart that IL his part
of North America had been incorpora-
ted with the United States at the be-
ginning, it would now be the
home of not less than twenty millions
of people; and that. IL it had estab-
lished a republic of its own, and kept
the peace, it might now be a nation
of thirty millio' s. Nevertheless dis
loyalty in Canada Is confined to spo-
radio editorials and the mother coun-
try and her American empire seem
to be bound by indissoluble ties.
