of Filipinos and the small Hawaiian
population, as mature peoples' and
without reference to ''the blessings or
civilization" which liz designed to dis
parage the latter. Their proposition is
that centuries of misrule and tempta-
tions to vice failed to degenerate the
Filipinos, who increased fourfold In
numbers. who remained temperate, a.
mong whom RIGHTEOUSNESS never took
special root and who now refuse TO
work. not from Inherent idleness, but
from statesmanlike determination
not to feed the vampires" and the
beasts of prey" sent forth from the
United States, whose enterprise threat
ems to become dominant in the Philip
pine archipelago. On the other hand
they claim that the Hawaiians yielded
to every solicitation to vice, that. gen.
erations ago. when trading vessels ar
rived, all the inhabitants of villages
fell into "a state of helpless drunken
ness" that the liquor habit entailed
all the evils with which II Is asso-
ciated. and that. in this way, that Is
through their own inherent weakness
as mature people" and not as other
wise specified in the article under re-
view from the hypocrisy or narrow
mindedness of the missionaries, their
numbers fell from four hundred thous-
and to thirty thousand.
Thus. by false premises, by nom
sequiturs, and through malicious at
tack upon American civilization, 1t is
sought to exalt the Filpinos to
height they have never approached,
and to lower the natives of these is
lands to depth they have never
reached. The fact of Hawaiian sus-
ceptibility to certain forms of disease
is undeniable. The reduction of their
numbers is a tendency which their own
intelligence and growing morality. not
impeded but aided by American insti-
tutions and by American example. are
in fair way to arrest. The moderate
consumption of liquor, often of most
pernicious quality, is feature of the
Anglo-Saxon race, that may have been
too successfully introduced into these
islands. but which the missionary in
fiuence, cooperating with the necess-
tiles of progress, is gradually but sure-
ly diminishing. Educated and travell-
ed Hawaiians are numerous. who at
least equal and probably outrank their
Filipino compeers. and who are capa-
BILE of holding their own all over the
globe. The mass Of the natives, res
cued from paganism and voluntarily
brought within the range of Christian
advancement, possess sensibilities and
faculties that render them peculiarly
alive to the advantages Of American
citizenship. Wise government, on the
American plan. the open door to the
best immigrants. the growth of in
dustries and the habit of individual
self-control and aspiration, together
with an unsurpassed location and the
transfer of commercial supremacy to
the Pacific, will speedily render such
criticisms as have been commented up
on as ridiculous as they are now false
and unjust.

cording to the Washington Star, the

plan in ten states. The essential fea-
lures Of this plan are the creation of a
state highway commission and the CO.
operation of the state with the coun-
ties and towns in the work of road
improvement, each bearing a fixed
part of the expense, though no two
states have adopted exactly the same
plan. At the expense of some little
correspondence, the County Act Com
mission might gain much valuable in
formation as to the best methods of
securing efficient coordination of gen.

tanning the best results from road ex-
penditures.

ACCURATE PREDICTING.

One of the remarkable things about
the war is the accuracy of predictions
made by Japanese officials. Yesterday
morning 1t was reported from Paris
that General Kuroki had begun the
attack on the Russian position upon
Iiaotung Road and 1t was believed
that a decisive battle was progressing.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister
in London, said as far back as May
9 that the next engagement of the war
would likely take place at Liaoyang.
General Kuroki, the minister said, was
probably on the march to that place
and General Kuropatkin should give
battle there. From the signs OF his
concentration he might assume the de-
fensive. But for his defeat at the
Yalu river" Baron Hayashi continued,
'this movement might be very danger
GUS, but, under the existing conditions
General Kuroki ought to be able to
drive back General Kuropatkin at LII
aoyang. The Russians have central
position and can strike either to the
left or the right an advantage they
did not enjoy when Newchwang had
to be defended. In the event OF our
occupation of Newchwang we shall
Immediately appoint civil admins
traitor, as we did at the time of the
war with China, and open the port to
all nations"
Liaoyang is about 200 miles north
east of Port Arthur and so miles SOUTH
west Of Mukden, on the line of the
Chinese Eastern railway branching
from the Siberian railway at Hardin
to Port Arthur.

FEDERAL AID TO ROADS.

Elsewhere will be found a telegraph
livered by Secretary Wilson before the
Good Roads Association in st. Louis.
The intimation given by the Secretary
of Agriculture that his department is
taking practical interest in roadmak-
ing throughout the Union ought to be
considered of great importaneeisto the
Territory Of Hawaii. 1t would appear
that the Federal Government purposes
to train men, who have had prelimin-
airy education in engineering, for SER
vice as directors of road construction
in the States and Territories, there be-
ing demand for such skilled assist
ance from all over the country.
With the large appropriations for
roads annually expended in these ISL
ands. it would be good thing for both
the roads and the revenue to have the
work done scientifically. Perhaps there
Is no other object of expenditure in Ha-
wall which has been more of revenue
sink-swallowing up good money after
bad as the saying goes-than the item
of roads and bridges. One of the
chief reasons for the unsatisfactory re-
suits in this matter undoubtedly is
that, to great extent, the money has
been entrusted, for its expanding, to
men who know little or nothing about
roadmaking. Besides, there is no doubt
that Hawaii is behind the times with
respect to equipment of modern road
making machinery, with its saving of
labor and hence of money. We have
seen and are seeing the Federal Gov
ernment's active aid in developing the
agricultural resources of the Territory.
1t is through the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington, too, that the
Territorial Board of Agriculture and
Forestry has obtained the services of
trained man for conducting the di-
vision of forestry. This Is just what
the scheme announced by Secretary
Wilson seems 10 have I'm promise for
us-to supply thoroughly trained men
for our roadmaking. There ought to
be ut least one for the Territory at
large always but, when hundreds of
thousands OF dollars in loan money are
TO be expended, one scientific road
builder for each OF the large islands
might, with regard 10 truest economy,
be employed
