clashes between the sects over the
teaching in the public schools.
Within the last week, however, we
have read Of a protest by the Catho-
lie clergy against a history which is
used in the public schools Of New Jer-
sey. According TO published extracts
this book expresses very strong opin-
ions about controvertod matters, and
is unsparing in its use OF adjectiyes
that reflect on the Catholic church of
a former age. OF course. if we wish
to set forth minutely the real truth re-
garding the past we shall have much
that doesn't look pretty in print, but
IL will not be- confined to any one
church. The age itself was lacking in
the mental and moral development OF
the present, and an exhaustive treatise
would bring more than one denominaS
tion under the ban. But whether It is
history or not, such books should be
written in a vein which ON line surface
suggests more conservatism and less
passion.
But now comes the news that the
Attorney General of California has rem
dered a decision which bars the Bibia
from the public schools. This suggests
narrowness in another direction. The
decision is based upon the idea that
there must be no sectarian teaching in
the public schools. But does the Amori-
can idea contemplate am entire absence
Of religious teaching? If 30, one Of the
fundamental impulses Of humanity is
ignored The Bible, as a whole. is ac~
cepted by all the denominations; 1t is
highly esteemed as literature: 1t CON
tains much valuable history, and pre-
sents the Oldest code of Jurisprudence
known to men.
Besides this, our literature touches
the Bible at almost every point, and
without some knowledge OF the Book
a thousand references become mean-
ingless. The best Thought is that we
cannot Danish the Bible from the
schools, but that the few passages
around which a battle Of controversy
rages shall be omitted in reading. The
soul and spirit OF the Book will still be
left, and denominational bitterness win
not be aroused. Certain educators
have so interpreted the nonsectarian
idea Of the schools. that neither reN
liglon nor morality are tolerated. This
is surely not the American idea

AN ARGUMENT FULL OF HOLES


The Union Republican plea for the
retention Of the Voters, Assistant act
goes to pieces before amy proper ar
ray Of facts. We have bean told that
without this law the Union Republl-
cans would not be adequately repre-
sentedl by officers at the polling places.
Now It must be remembered that there
are thnee, and only three, officers al
each polling place who have any au-
thority TO interpret the Law and 10 re-
receive or reject votes. These three
officers in counting out are the only
persons in authority The clerks sim
ply tabulate the vote and keep the
records, and the voters assistants have
no powers aside from assisting the
voter to mark his ballot
Therefore, 1t is interesting and peril
nent to learn Just how fully the Union
Republicans have been represented. We

Governors home, and we may take 1or

There are nineteen inspectors Of cleo

the last election, eleven were
Union Republicans, and eight Demo
Gratis. AT the preceding election there
we're ten Union Republicans and nine
= Democrats When we remember that
the Inspector Is the chief officer OF the
election, It appears that the Union RE
publlcans have been pretty well repre-
sented.
Then comes the question of the
Judges. The law allows the Democrats
nineteen in all, one for each polling
place and am equal number TO be ap-
pointed by the Republicans. At the
last two elections OF this number mime

SUGAR MAKERS ARE DISCOURAGED

Deer Park, Md, April 9.-The makers
of maple sugar in Garrett county are
rather discouraged over the present
situation. They declare they have only
had two or three good sugar-mal1ing
days this year. Since the breaking up
of winter the weather has been too
warm for maple-sugar making. Cold,
frosty nights, to be followed by warm,
sunny days. are acquired for the max
ing of maple sugar. The present cool
weather at night will not save the day
as It has come too late. The present
scarcity of the genuine sugar and
syrup will bring to the front more OF
the adulterated product, of which therS
is already quite an abundance on the
market.

When so much is said about the

alarming to see how little heed is

ceive how a human being can be so
lacking in refinement as to spit on the

on the sidewalk but in this matter
we have learned long since that it is
"a condition and not a theory" that
confronts US. People Will spit in
these places even when the sign pen

physician recently suggested the fol-
lowing plan to lessen this nuisance:
He proposed having the city employ
from one to three detectives, dressed
as private citizens, who should ride on
the various lines of cars and mingle
with crowds in every part of the city
Any person seen splitting, contrary to
law, should be arrested and fined OF
reprimanded, and his name should be
made public. For a second offense the
penalty should be severe. The an
nouncement should be made before
hand that such detectives were to be
on duty. 1t is said that a plan like this
was tried in one city with a marked
dimunition OF the evil.

1t is natural for Great Britain and
Holland to want Panama to assume a
part of Colombia's foreign debt, but
such a request would not be made of a
strong power. Possibly the idea may
become a basis of compromise between
Panama and Colombia, in which case
the assumption of a S15,000,000 dent

Great Britain and Holland, in loaning

A VULNERABLE DOCTRINE.

An item in the news from the coast
states that the Germans of South Bra
I'll are preparing TO set UP a govern
ment of their own. There are some
tens of thousands of Germans there
and they have established, over a great
area, the domestic institutions of the
Fatherland. a traveller finds the spo-
ken and printed language, schools,
dress, architecture, business and So
cial customs all German, and a more
intense Teutonic patriotism among the
people-for blood always flows more
warmly about the extremities than at
the heart-than is to be found on the
Inter den Linden itself. Naturally
such a community, containing all the
elements of well-organized state ex-
cept actual control of the machinery,
chafes for the wider privileges which
are enjoyed throughout South America
by men Of Latin blood.
Sooner or later there will be a rev.
olution. The southern States Of Bra
zil will be separated from the north
ern with a political center in Rio
Grande do Sui, and the spectacle of
German republic will be presented. or
course the new government will make
good, for the Germans are too numer-
Gus and powerful and can acquire arms
and organization too easily, to be over
come by the Brazilians. Success
means recognition by the powers, in
GLIDING, of course, the United States.
Now we come to the possibility of a
crucial test of the Monroe doctrine.
The Germans in South Brazil are i'm
perialists, not republicans or social
democrats like those who, by hundreds
of thousands, have sought homes in the
United States. They are in Brazil to
further the Pan-Germanic idea; to help
build up a colonial empire for the
Kaiser to rule and his manufacturers
to supply. Suppose, they establish a
republic merely for ad-interim con-
venience and then, following the gen
eral lines of the Texas precedent, ask
for annexation to Germany-what are,
we, as promoters of the Monroe doc
trine, going to do about it? Are we
going to say to a free republic, You
cannot dispose of your own property
in your own way without our consent"
and if Germany accepts the gift of
her sons across the sea, say to her:
You must give back that property or
fight us?" The mere statement of the
case which, though hypothetical may
be realized in practical politics at any
time shows how untenable the Monroe
doctrine is save as the arbitrary fiat
Of immensely superior brute force, If
such e. preposterous policy is to be
declared in the face of Europe it must
sooner or later be fought for-and
what American who can think consecu-
lively for two minutes and isn't pro-
fessional military or naval man, wants
to fight for it?

THE VISITING FLEET.
tine oficial and Commercial Record

The largest naval fleet ever in Ha-
waiian waters viii begin to arrive to-
morrow. This event will be one of the
mile stones marking the development
of the Pacific in general and of Hawaii
in particular.
1t will give Honolulu a foretaste of
what the establishment of full fedg-
ed naval station at Pearl Harbor will
mean. A money spending, enjoyment
seeking population of nearly 5000 men
landed in our port is an event to be
not only remembered, but to be made
memorable as we'll by the way in which
we respond to the opportunity to show
that we are glad to see the navy, and
more than glad to have the opportunity
to welcome the gallant officers and men
of the navy.
The Record is glad to see that the
Merchants Association has taken up
the matter of entertainment. The sAs-
ISOLATION cannot do it all however. 1t
can organize and suggest, but individ-
uals must be relied upon to carry the
suggestions into effect.
This is subject which calls for
hearty cooperation, and the Record
confidently expects that Honolulu will
maintain its reputation for hospitality

A NEW UNIVERSITY.

We are pleased to see that our young
Portuguese friends are deep in projects
for higher political education. They
are coming of age and, having matric-
uiated in the primary school of ward
politics, in their capacity of lockers Oh,
they are eager to study the loftier du-
ties of statecraft, in the guise of par
Elephants. To veracious Lusitanian
of Punchbowl we are indebted for the
news that college of politics is TO be
established on the slopes back of town
"a university in facial which the
Portuguese youth are to sit at the feet
of local Gamaliels and learn how to put
American citizenship next to the offices
and get all there is in both. The COM
plete faculty has not yet been chosen
but the names of Prof. Gear, Prof.
Dunno, Prof. Breckons and Prof.
Humphreys have been given US. Prof.
Gear is scheduled for the chair of Po-
liticaI Ethics, where he will demon
strate the perils of applied graft and
warn the young Portuguese against the
growing practice of using the courts
for political purposes. Prof. Gear will
alternate in this course, it is said, with
Prof. Humphreys. Professors Brock
ons and Dunno have not chosen their
chairs as yet, but we are led to suppose
that much of their labor will be given
to undoing the work of Professors Gear
and Humphreys. 1t would not be
Portuguese University if there We're
not divisions in the faculty-or fac
tfonality' as our informant words it.
The motto of the University is al
ready chosen and will be chiseled in
the main archway of the largest build
ing on the campus-"u Busto Vivas."
There is a sweet Lusitanian simplicity
in the motto and it shows that as in
the case of Girard College of Philadel-
phia, the doors of the Punchbowl Uni
versity are not open to everybody.
Vivas is barred. If he enters there
he will leave hope behind and run the
risk of being soused by a pail of dirty
water balanced over the door. If that
does not squelch him we are given to
understand that he will be sat on by
Professor Gear and his estate Sumner

SETTLING THE COUNTY ACT.
IThe oficlal and Commercial Record. !

The move to bring the County Act
agitation to focus, by securing a SUI
preme Court decision thereon, is a
thoroughly sound one.
1t is an unusual thing for a COM
munity to call upon the Bar Associa-
ton to gratuitously formulate a law
suit, and furnish lawyers to represent
both sides; but the present is an I'M
usual situation, and the Record believes
that the Bar Association will cordially
respond to the appeal made to it by the
citizens, Meeting. 1t certainly is a
compliment to the Association, and q
recognition of its public-spiritedne
that a mixed meeting OF citizens of
all political faiths should unanimously
turn to it for relief.
The Association meets this afternoon
at O'Clock. over Castle and Cookies
offices. and will probably take prompt
action upon the citizens request.
With the intelligent cooperation of
