TROPICAL ATHLETES.

The fact that Charles Hartwell and
Harold Dillingham; have secured places
on the Harvard crew directs public no.
tice once more to the athletic successes
of Hawaiian white youth. The list of
young men, to the manor born, who
have pitted both brain and Drawn
against their cousins on the continent
and won signal honors is long enough
to form a most effective answer to the
charge that white men necessarily de-
teriorate in the tropics Many Hawai-
ian athletes, mental and physical who
boast American or English descent, are
in the third generation of tropical life;
yet they easily meet and rival the
flower of the northern youth. They are
fine, stalwart specimens of Caucasian
manhood; in them the race shows no
inkling of degeneracy.
And why should it not be so? Heat
is not an evil thing in the economy of
nature. 1t is the inspiration and nour-
Usher of all life. Indeed, if we may
judge from the physical condition of
primitive savage races under the
equator, it is a conservator of health.

NO REASON TO CRITICIZE.

A great deal has been said. in the
Legislature and out, about the stop
page of the pumps of the water sys-
tenn because of the shortage of money
for payment of firemen, until a public
official personally drew upon his bank
account and advanced the cash. 1t
might be well for the legislators and
others who are criticiZing officials to
look at the other side.
When the Legislature met the facts
were set before them that there was
no cash on hand to carry on the work
of the water bureau, that the appro-
priation was too small and that unless
there was a deficiency provision there
would be no means of carrying on the
pumping. Seventy-five days passed
and nothing was done, the men We're
without pay and they had to quit work
to seek II chance to earn a living.
Some of the legislators cauc' it
criminal to permit the pumps to stop.
They did not say that the officials
should pay the money out of their own
pockets but one influential Representa-
tive referred to the fact that it seemed
easy to secure funds for other pur-
poses, such as sending Mr. Pratt to
Washington to secure fire claims funds.
1t might not be amiss to call atten-
ton to two facts. When the legisla-
ture is in session it, and it alone, has
authority over the public credit. Yet
with all the facts before members there
is no provision made for public utii-
ties. AS to officials of the government
securing money outside the treasury,
does the course of the Legislature in
refusing to repay the money advanced
to send Mr.. Pratt to Washington, a
mission which resulted in a clearsbene-
fit of sl,OOO,00O to the Territory, tend
to give any confidence that there would
be provision to repay monies scared
for any other purpose? The duty Of the
officials is as plain As that of the legis-
lators and the failure clearly is with
the latter

CELEBRATE CABLE COMING.

Now that it is as nearly certain as
anything can be in this world, that
the completion of the Pacific cable Will
be accomplished by July 4th when the
shore end from the Anglia is hauled
into the hut at Waikiki, it is up to the
Chamber of Commerce and the Mer-
chants Association to take steps to
provide for fitting celebration of the
event. The arrival of the end from
California was the occasion for a Cele-
bration which was worthy of the event
and the city. This second cable day
should be in absolute keeping with the
dignity of the occasion.
The completion of the Pacific cable,
an American line connecting the pos
sessions in the east with the mainland,
will be an event notable in the history
of our nation and worthy of every eff
fort at proper celebration. The bene-
fits to be derived by commerce, by the
Federal government and by the news
papers from the completion of the new
cable cannot be estimated. The ac-
QUESTION of the Philippines demanded
direct communication with the Orient.
It's realization was only question of
time which is now almost fulfilled.
The Pacific cable is a necessary in
cident to our expansion territorially. Its
value in time of war would be quickly
demonstrated. 1t is a means of protec-
ton which cannot be overestimated.
The important part which rapid COM
munication may play in war time Is
well illustrated by the fact that the
battle of New Orleans would not have
been fought If land telegraph lines and
the Atlantic cable had been in opera
ton. The treaty of peace was signed
at Client December "a. 1914. two weeks
before the battle was fought.
- On August 2S, 1850, for the first time
in the history of the world, an electric
message was sent by a cable construct
ed for commercial purposes from
Dover England, to Cape Gris-Nez,
about twenty-four miles. A British
newspaper describing the event says
that an eminent engineer advised the
promoters to abandon the scheme. Soon
after its success was made known this
engineer, with true prophetic instinct,
exclaimed: II congratulate you on
your success. Nothing can prevent the
cable from going around the world"
Nearly 100000 miles of wire now testify
to the truth of the prophecy.

A PACIFIC EXCURSION SYSTEM.

Why can we not have on the Pacific,
the kind of excursions which are being
run with so much success and in so
many directions on the Atlantic? Every
great magazine makes seductive an
nounCements of summer and winter
cruises to the West Indies, Norway,
Newfoundland, the Mediterranean and
the Baltic and Black Seas at prices
which are surprisingly low. In a re-
cent issue of the Four Track News, a
journal especially given over TO work
among the tourists, we find the adver-
tisements of a cheap trip to Labrador;
Cooks cruise to the Mediterranean
and Bible lands in twin screw steam
er of 1000 tons, lasting seventy days
at less than SO per day; a Jamaica eX-
curson at $50; European trips of from
forty-three to l07 days, at rates of from
$3.50 to $3.50 and $50; Raymond K Whit
comb tours to every point of interest in
Europe and Western America; and sail
inss to Cuba and Mexico, all at a mark
ed discount from the cost which n
private traveller would have to meet.
The Pacific remains to be exploited
and within comparatively small area
1t offers surprising attractions. A
steamer leaving San Francisco could
travel down the coast, stopping briefly
at one port in Southern California,
skirting the Mexican peninsula of Low
err California and calling at the almost
unknown capital of La Para city of
some 10000 sequestered people; crossing
the Gulf to Guaymas or Acapulco on
the Mexican mainland; slipping over to
Samoa and seeing something of native
Polynesian life. then coming TO Ha-
waii and seeing Honolulu and the Vol
cano; thence back to San Francisco via
the Sound and Portland, making a
journey of Incompatible charm, much
OF II made on the mildest of seas, under
the Gains OF Cancer
This would do for a,winter trip. For
n summer journey the vessel could skirt
the North American coast as far as
the Aleutian islands, viewing the Nor
way of the new world and coming di-
rectly here from Oonalaska, thence
back to the starting point
Any large steamship company acting
In conjunction with the transcontinen-
tai railroads ought to be able to make
such excursions pay.

ON THE OTHER FOOT.

"In the meantime the expense of
maintaining this Improbable acquisi-
ton will be borne by the ever enduring
and always patient taxpayer of the
great Republic"
Thus Edwin II. Clough ends an arti-
Gle. written aboard ship and sent back
to San Francisco from Yokohama, COM
menting upon Hawaii. Mr.. Clough Is
man of parts; has travelled on the
mainland and has written much and
well. But 1t was far from wise for him
to turn upon and rend Hawaii, after
stopping here just while his steamer
was in port.
Had he taken the trouble to inquire
he would have learned that Hawaii is
the most profitable investment made by
the national government: that the net
revenue from the islands is about
81 100000 n year and that the trade
amounts to many times that sum. A
territory where the business is so ex-
tensive can hardly be called a lazy
lounging place, and Mr.. Clough must
make closer Investigations on his world
round journey if he is TO retain his
reputation for accuracy.

E. p. DOLE WILL
SOON RETURN

The Boston Globe Of May 4, says:
Hon. Edmund p. Dole, former attorney
General for Hawaii, spent yesterday
in Boston, visiting relatives He is a
cousin of Nathan Haskell Dole and OF
Gov. Sanford Dole. Today he will &c
to Maine to visit other relatives, and
VIII stay until the week end. Next
Sunday he will be in Boston, and then
he Will begin his westward journey to
the islands of the Pacific.
II came to the United States" said
he yesterday, to Globe reporter,
about three months ago. Mr.. McKin-
ley appointed a commission, you will
remember, to recommend legislation
and a form of government for Hawaii,
after sovereignty had been surrendered.
The American members, Senators Gull
lon and Morgan, and Mr.. Hit, asked
for the views of the local government
in regard to Hawaiis political status,
which you remember was unique, and
the government I'm turn asked me for
an opinion as attorney general

mission and by the local government.
and was sustained by the courts of the
islands. Atty. Gen. Griggs also gave
President Mckinley an opinion in line
with mine.
Our procedure Is somewhat different
from that in the states. We have no
indictment by grand jury, and a unan-
imous opinion is not required In court
cases
well, our criminal and civil bust
ness went on for some time after the
surrender of sovereignty. When the
territory was organized, the question
at once arose whether the decisions
since the surrender had been valid.
There We're some 40 applications for
writs of habeas corpus, for we had 80
persons in Jail, convicted Of manslaugh-
ter rape and other serious crimes.
Three circuit court judges said the de-
cisions were void: four said they were
valid. The supreme court of the terri
tory was divided.
THE first case that came up before
the federal judge he sustained the YER
dict; the second one he declared was
void. I appealed to .the supreme court
of the United States.
"The question was whether the 5th
and 9Th amendments to the constitu-
ton of the United States took effect in
Hawaii on August ~, 1898, when SOW
ereignty was surrendered, or on June
IA, 1900, when the territory was organ

THE FARRELL INTERVIEW.

1t is well not to lay too much stress
upon the Examiner interview with j.
d. Farrell, vice-president of the Great
Northern steamship line, until that
gentleman himself is heard from. At
present all we have is a letter to the
yellowest journal of the Pacific Coast
from f. II. Clough, a member of its
staff who picks up living by writing
sensational news. How much of the in
teryiew is Mr.. Farrells and how much
is Mr.. Clough's, cannot now be known.
But some inference may be drawn from
the fact that the language and state
ments sound more like those of re-
porter in search of thrills than those
of a sober business man in search of
trade.
The Advertiser does not know that
the Planters Association has asked
Mr.. Hill to build a refinery on the
Sound for the handling of its sugar
crop; but If 1t has, he is not the man
to meet the proposal with the thought
less rejection which Mr.. Clough at
tributes to Mr.. Farrell. 1t certainly
would be worth the cost to the Great
Northern to get the handling of the en-
tire Hawaiian crop, and Mr.. Hill Is not
likely TO be appalled, by a competition
which Claus Spreckels easily met and
which has no terrors to the Arbuckles
of Brooklyn. The Sugar Trust is far
from being invncible. Beaten by
Spreckels, beaten by annexation, har-
red by Eastern coffee and sugar men,
what is there about it to dismay the
master of the Great Northern, the
,nl 90 .f he. n-tI v ct
whose combinations embrace gigantic |
blocks of Eastern capital? Besides |
owing to recent decisions, it is not
healthy for any trust to open a cam
paign in restraint of trade.
To Mr.. Clough rather than to NJ. |
Farrell we must attribute the com
ment that Hawaii is a burden to the |
American taxpayer. a man of Mr.. |
Farrell's business and responsibility |
would know that Hawaii not only pays |
its own expenses but eases the burden |
of the American taxpayer, through its |
custom house, postofiice and internal |
revenue receipts, to an amount between
one and two million dollars annually. |
To say nothing of its strategic value,
Hawaii, as a purely commercial prop
osition is one in which the nation may
take pride. But that is no news to Mr..
Hill or his steamship expert. Mr.. Far
rell.
Another sign of Clough is in the
garbled interview with Mr.. Dillingham;.
1t would have been impossible for Mr..
Farrell, we think, to have reported a
private conversation at all to strangers,
least of all to have vested it with mis-
representations. That is not the way
with shrewd and honorable business
men,
