NO SECRET.

There is no secret about
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil. The label tells
the whole story. There is a
knack in making it. The
only secret about it is the
secret of its success.
This year, when cod liver
oil is very scarce and high,
all kinds of cheap, inferior
oils are used to take its place,
and all sorts of things pre-
sented as substitutes. Think
of petroleum being taken as
a substitute for cod liver oil
too absurd. Think of the
so-called wines, extracts and
cordials of cod liver DILL
they are simply the shadow
without the substance; no
food value in them.

ANII-SALOON LEAGUE
ENDS ITS CONVENTION
Congress Commended for
Stand on Canteen Law.
TO UNITE ALL WORKERS
Effort to Start General Revival of Cos
pei Temperance and a Campaign
of Pledge Signing.

The eighth annual convention of the
American Anti-Saloon League closed
last night, in the First Congregational
Church. after a three days session. The
question OF the league pushing the total
abstinence plan came up for discussion.
Members of the league believed that.
as in some States kindred organizations
were working toward this means. any
similar action on the part Of the league
might be regarded as conflicting with
the work of those organizations.
a committee was finally appointed 70
draw up resolution which would ais
pose of the question. The report of
the committee was adopted. and the
resolution was as follows:
Upon the churches of America rests
the responsibility to drive the saloon
from the land. Recognizing this truth
the Anti-Saloon League seeks to fede-
rate In united effort all churches.

non-partisan omni-partisan organiza-
don. TO carry on the work
FIRST, by agitation to arouse and
build up public sentiment; second. to
secure. through public officials. If pos
sible. the enforcement Of all laws for
the suppression of intemperance: third
TO secure legislation in the national
Congress and other legislative bodies
further restricting and ultimately abol-
lsning the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage
We believe that this contest against
the saloon will be furthered by a gem
eral revival of gospel temperance. and
a campaign of total abstinence pledge
signing and living"
Resolutions Adopted.
The report of the committee on resoIu-
tons was adopted. The committee com
mended Congress for its abolition of the
bar at the Capitol. and for its refusal

THE LOCAL LABOR QUESTION.

There is a vast amount Of economic
nonsense in the cry that American
citizens" should be employed as con-
tract Iaborers here by preference TO
| foreigners. OF the kind OF American
| citizens known on the mainland OF
the United States there are none here
who want Jobs as laborers or would
take them il offered. The cry OF pro-
| test comes from lately enfranchised
Polynesians most Of whom cannot
| speak the tongue that Americans use
and who belong mainly to the class
described by the late Ross Browne
when he said that he never saw but
one Hawaiian doing anything and he
was falling off a house.
The truth about the native as a
manual laborer was publicly told at
the last meeting of the Builders and
Traders Exchange-he is not depend
able. He cannot be relied upon to do
a fair days work nor to stay by his
job until IL is finished. Now a con-
tract means that a certain amount OF
of time. If it isn't so done the con-
tractor loses his pay or forfeits his
bond. He cannot take chances with
his labor. He must have men who
will stand by him until the job is done; |
and when, as the fruit of bitter ex-
perience he turns from the Hawaiian, |
the latter has no right to blame him. |
1t is not the contractor. who keeps the |
native out of steady work-it is HIM
SELF.
We venture to say that the employ
ment of this class of American cit- 1
zens" on public works costs the Ter
ritory one hundred thousand dollars
biennially in labor paid for but not
This writer has seen many a gang of
native road "laborers'' on duty and
has estimated that they would be dear
at forty cents a day. These men do
not want to work. They had rather
starve than go on the plantations
where no political pull would let them
AXE their own time. What they are
after is the greatest possible pay for
he least possible labor; and that is
what they get and give in Territorial
Employ. Unhappily the Territory can {
lot help itself, but the private con-
ractor can help himself and naturally :
Ices so.
There is a way, nevertheless, for the
S9S issue of American citizens" to l
et work anywhere and that is to learn
o do what they are paid for as well as
oreigners. They might learn through ;
ractice on the roads and streets. 4

MOSQUITO MEASURES.

The Mosquito Committee has its eye
on Waikiki, which is a good thing.
That otherwise attractive part OF the
city has more mosquitoes to the acre
than any other portion of Honolulu.
The reason is that it keeps so many
stagnant ponds, many Of which are
situated in Kapiolani park.
II the park is not a mosquito-breeder
it bellies it's looks. Murky, moveless
water, some Of it with a green scum,
acts the part OF ponds and streams.
What is needed there is a continuous
supply OF fresh water such as might
be had from an artesian well, also a
general cleaning out and clearing up
of the channels. With good water and
plenty of gold fish in it there might be
no necessity OF using petroleum.
The lily pond at the Waikiki Annex
seems to be well-suppIied with fish al
though it is a disreputable looking
frog-hole now and may possibly, in the
shallow parts, where logs, brush and
other detritus obstruct even the fish,
be the breeding-place of the swarrns of
mosquitoes that infest the neighbor-
hood Other lily ponds thereabouts
need looking into by the health author
titles.
1t would be a good thing for Waikiki
IL its residents would form a neigh |
bcrhood committee, on the plan Of the !
village Improvement societies of the |
East, and tackle the mosquito ques-
ton for themselves. They could keep (
lab on one another. Mr.. Damon could
also do a great work on his Moana-
Iua estate. which breeds mosquitoes
enough to run New Jersey summer
resort. We had hoped that he would.
before this, have shown what can be
done by a free use of petroleum.
The collection of tin cans about town
Is a sound proposal, providing they are
sent out to sea as garbage and thrown
overheard. Once there they will not
turn up as water-containers on the
street dumping ground or in
so.re other place.
Another suggestion: People who
keep chickens should see that the wa
ter cans provided for them are regu-
arly emptied. Many a poultryman
-aises five hundred mosquitoes to every
chicken.

SHANGHAI.

The thing that is building up Shang-
hal into the Chicago of the Far East
il its partial command of the trade of
$4,000, 900 OF pc ople. The city domi-
mates the entrance Of the Yang-tse
river, the greatest commercial thor
oughfare of the empire, Mississippi
as to size and more than a Thames as
to activity. Ocean steamers of the
deepest draft ascend this river six hun
dred miles to Hankow, a city which is
described as "the mart of eight pro-
vinces." Some of Hankow's trade,
however, is being diverted to Shanghai
by the system of railroads now build
ing. Last year the trade of the Yang
tse amounted to s1O9. 1854, 1850 and it is
bound to grow as China acquires new
wants and opens up to civilization.
The drawbacks to the settlement
there OF white men are climatic and
political. Though Shanghai is a bit
north of Hawaii it has the humid eli
mate Of New Orleans in whose latitude
IL lies and is much less comfortable in
the summer than is this trade-wind
group. Naturally, considering it's eli
mate and population, it is scourged at
intervals by disease. Being in the
typhoon belt the place naturally suf-
fers from the elements.
Politically the city is yet under a
quasi-Chinese authority and no one
knows what power will control it in a
few years to come. England may, in
which case all will be well for white
men; Russia or Germany may, in
which case Russians and Germans will
have the preference. Then again what
ever power holds the place will have
to reckon with nearly 100000 Chi
nese who. IL they acquire the ideals
and munitions of civilization may re-
store themselves to control Of their dis
membered empire.
In the meantime, however, money is
to be made there and the foot-loose
classes are fiocking that way.

James Brady. the We,

James Brady, the we'll known
bridge builder of New York, is an in
veterate theater-goer and is especially
fond of patronizing roof gardens and
similar summer entertainments. Also
he has an extraordinary passion for
diamonds, in displaying which he has
many startling ideas. In addition to
a full assortment for fingers, shirt,
cuffs and less exposed articles of ap-
parel he carries a beautiful stone in
the handle of his umbrella, another in
the ferrule of his cane and several
finer than all on the handle-bars of his
bicycle. To this fad he owes his nick
name of Diamond Jim Brady.

THE FILIBUSTER BISHOP.

The threat of Bishop Willis against
Tongan sovereignty seems to have
been something more than a bluff. At
residents who do not admire Poly
nesian rule, a British High Commits
sioner, Sir Thomas Moore Jackson, has
gone to Tonga from Fiji TO adjust mat
ters. On the principle that those whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad, the Tongan government has re-
fused him landing on the ground that
the measles prevail in Fiji where he
came from. All this, of course, plays
into the hands of Bishop Willis and
his fellow-conspirators against Tongan
sovereignty and the next we hear
British cruiser may come to back the
Commissioner up and incidentally put
an end to the Tongan independence
which has aroused Bishop WiIlis's
rious wrath.
Remembering the Bishops stern
fight for native independence here and
his horror at American "rapacity" as
exhibited in the "cold-blooded scheme
of annexation" the Advertiser will
watch his proceedings in Tonga with
the Keenest interest. One can hardly
imagine the virtuous old gentleman in
the role of a ''flibuster'' despite his
local fame as a disturber of the peace,
bur there is no telling what may hap
pen in the regions south of the equator
where Shakespeare found his anthro-
pophagi. What if a Tongan charge
that Willis had come as a carpet-bag-
ger, had tried to wrest land from the
natives and failing had undertaken to
steal their country and been backed
in his nefarious missionary" attempt
by another Stevens and another "Bos-
ton"-what if such a charge, we say,
should put Bishop Willis on the de-
fensive? There would be little left to
his old friends here but tears. Can
it be that all unconsciously to himself
his years of contact with the plumber
ing missionaries OF Hawaii has blunted
his appreciation of the divine right of
the Polynesian to govern wrong?

Is this the attitude OF the Land Com
missioner as described in his native
organ, the Independent?
The Advertiser has fiared up at the
Land Commissioner on account of the
conservative manner of that official in
dealing with public lands, and alleged
settlers and small farmers from
abroad. The cause OF the rumpus
Seems to be that the Commissioner en-
deavors to tell the truth about land
