But Of their dread of the hospital
that is still eXtant In form less pro-
nounced, but still It exists. We be-
lieve that this fear has great deal to
do with the many deaths among those
who enter its threshold, although its
portals are wide open and free to them
all to enter and to leave, yet they do
not avail themselves Of the opportuni
ty. Probably more than one-half of the
deaths thus occurring therein are cags-
cd through fright from previously hear
ing those uncontradicted stories and
that doctors are bent In killing all of
them off, they being despised, and that
haoles had the ears of the monarchs
and chiefs, and now they have the up
perhand. We believe something should
be done to dispel this illusion from
their minds, which can only be done by
ar earnest endeayor to obtain the Ha
waiian confidence.

BEARS REPETITION

Following in the same vein as our
leader of yesterday, there is another
matter that we overlooked at the time
OF its being written which we now
think should be mentioned. 1t is IN
connection with an institution created
and erected for the special aid and
benefit of the Hawaiian people, ana
that is the Queens Hospital. We feel
that what we are about to state is
fitting sequel to the previous editorial
article AS to passing judgment, we
must leave that to others. But we will
undertake to give statement to what
we have repeatedly heard from the
lips OF the Hawaiians themselves, and
that with a great deal of force and OF
certainty; yet we will not now at
tempt to give instances and details.

Being superstitious and easily de-
ceived, certain amount of fear is
thereby aroused. This fear has imbed
ded itself i'll the native mind to such
an extent that dread exists among
them, which deters them from going
voluntarily to the hospital, and it is
even so to this day. AS already refer
red to, they will not go unless forced
to. The dread of being done to death,
probably prematurely, by "laaumake"
exists among them to such an extent
that they have no confidence whatever

1t is a well-known fact that Hawaii
ans, as rule amongst majority, have

which has occasioned wonder and has
been the subject of talk among many
for the reasons why they do not take
advantage OF the treatment and bene'
fits to be therein enjoyed. They, as a
general rule, will not go there OF their
own accord, and those who do attend
are compelled and forced to enter the

will do every time if they had the least

SAYS ROOSEVELT BLUNDERED.
VI. Ebray Thinks His Reference to the
Panama Canal . Mistake.


PARIS. April 4.-Alcide Ebray, who is
frequently inspired by the Foreign Office,
has an article in to-days Debdfs on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Chicago speech on the
Monroe Doctrine. NJ. Ebray expresses the
opinion that President Roosevelt has
slightly enlarged the doctrine without
making precise obscure phrases which are
capable Of various interpretations.
Hitherto. according to President Roose-
velt's own messages. the doctrine has
failed to serve as a shield for the South
American republics unless European Powers
sought the acquisition Of territory. The
President now speaks Of the acquisition
OF any control as really equivalent 20 terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT"
The writer dilates on the use Of tho word
control" He says the question may early
arise whether the seizure OF customs con-
stitutes a case calling for interference by
the United States.
NJ EbEay thinks President Roosevelt
Numbered in citing the Panama Canal as an
instance where it is necessary to prevent
Europeans from obtaining control by
building the canal, as he thereby practically
admits that the United States are obtaining
such control. which will consequently
strengthen the hands OF the opponents oil
the treaty at Bogota.
