THE SIMPLE LIFE.

! II IL a good sign that Pastor Wag-
| ner's little book. The Simple Life,
should have taken the country by
storm. II ls many years, perhaps a.
long ago as the advent OF Uncle Toms
Cabin" that any book has sold 40 well
in the United states. The cartoon In
the Sunday Advertiser showing the
street hawker offering THE Simple
Life" 10 a sluggish voluptuary. was
not out OF the way for the work Is sold
NJ the curb all over New York and
other cities. Is to be found on the rail-
way cars and In the news stands and in
tens Of thousands of offices and homes.
Surely there must be some latent Inn
pulse or emotion, some deep seated in
stinct which the book draws out, or II
would not sell so well. There is moth
ing strenuous or exciting about It; no
plot, no glitter, nothing morbid; just
a manly and simple appeal for a return
to that life which made our fathers and
mothers strong when full Of years. and
accumulated the great Inheritance of
| health which so many of US are spend
ing rashly as we go along. The multi
! tudes that hasten to read The Sim
pie Life" save those who merely do so
from curiosity, must feel the need of it
or they would let it alone. And we re-
peat that this is a good sign.
The world is beginning to see that
the conquering races are those whose
lives are least corrupted by luxury; and
that the same is true of the conquering
men. The simple days of Rome were
its great days; the simple days of the
Anglo-Saxon race, whether in the old
world or the new, were it's noblest ones.
And If there is anything in the Yellow
Peril 1t is due to the fact that the Ash
attic races are living in simple houses,
wearing simple clothes, eating plain
food and having few wants. The ma
ton which Is shaking the world today
with the tread OF its armies and the
thunder of its broadsides Is made up
of rice and fish eaters, of hard, out-of-
door laborers, of athletes; people like
! the Moors, who conquered Spain with
no other rations than a handful of
dates. Woe to the race, whatever its
past glories may be, which rises from
the banquet board or the silken couch
| to cross swords with these men of ma
ture. 1t will go down before them as
the slothful Romans did before the
fierce invading Huns.
II Pastor Wagner can induce our
countrymen to return to the plain liv-
ing and high thinking of the early New
England days he will deserve we'll of
the republic. Things that sap the
strength Of America are the vastness OF
its riches and the diffusion of its ener-
waiting comforts. "As wealth accumu-
lates, men decay" Back to the simple
life Is a course that would have saved
Babylon and Tyre, Rome and Greece
and all the splendid imperial states
that rose in goatskins and died in pur-
! pie,

As TO OCEAN FARES.

The Oceanic Company knows it, OWL
business best and may have good rea-
son TO think that IL pays better TO run
the Alameda with a few cabin passen-
gers at sl35 for the round trip than il
does to send that vessel out with many
passengers at $50 or 500. Nevertheless
the big Atlantic lines adopt the other
policy. II a man chooses TO take a
small or a slow steamer across the At
lantic he can get first cabin passage as
low as S45; but II his choice Is a grey
hound he pays much more. Here the
small and the great steamers are
put into the same fare schedule
class and 1t costs just as much TO
ride on the Alameda as II does on the
Ventura. the Korea or the Manchuria.
Naturally the Alameda gets left. If
there is nothing to be gained in passage
money by taking the Alameda why
should anybody prefer 1t to a newer
steamer of three or four times its size,
more stability and greater comforts?
II the Oceanic line could see its way
clear to cut the Alameda rate the city
would be gratified in more ways than
one: pleased at the chance to avail It
self of lower fares and at the incentive
thus given to the tourist trade. To
the lay mind II looks as If the Alameda
could be kept very busy indeed as a
cutrate ferry boat.

This is matter that Is Of the last In

The Governor. in making up his re-

matter that he has to give In inter-
esting form, as we'll as in the way TO
draw direct attention to the neecs of

The Governors report, in fact, Will be
found to be good reading aside from Its
advocacy OF the best interests of the
commonwealth. In addition to the re-
port and recommendations of the Gov
ernor, the volume contains separate
reports from the several heads OF de-
partments, and a number of most in
terestng papers upon the leading in
dustries OF the Territory, each written
by an expert. The present puniicatio,,
by the Advertiser is the first time the
report has been given to the public,

DATA ABOUT JAPAN.

One of the most interesting books re-
Gently published is Japan in the Be-
ginning of the Twentieth Century"
which was issued by the Imperial Jap
anese Commission to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition for distribution at
st. Louis and which has also been
quite widely distributed by the Jap
anese consuls. 1t Is a substantial vol
ume of $40 pages bound in green cloth
with the national emblem, the chrys-
anthemum stamped in gold upon the
cover.
Inside the volume is a mine of in
formation about Japan. 1t is divided
into eight parts and has a supplement
on the island of Formosa. Part / deals
with the Geography, Population, Adj
ministratlve System and Land System
of the Empire. All these subjects are
fully treated and tables of statistics
appended. Part II. deals with Agri-
culture, Forestry, Mining and Metal
lurgy and Fisheries. Part III. is full

ilst part is a review of Education II
Japan. A supplement is devoted t
the statistics of Formosa. The scope o
the work is so large that no newspape
article can do it justice. Suffice II t
say that 1t is an invaluable mine o

The appropriation by Congress of
$1,000 for a leper hospital in Hawaii
would mean that 1t would be under
the direction and management Of a
federal bureau or department, probably
the Marine Hospital service. What
would that either be, or mean, but the
taking over the control and care OF the
lepers by the United States Govern
ment Star.
In that case hadn't the Legislature
better stop appropriating for the ex-
penses of the Settlement and give Jack
McVeigh notice? Up to this time the
Territory had been in ignorance of
any intent on the part of the United
States to assume its Molokai guardian
ship. Where did the Star get the
news?

DINNERS

The Hawaiian Hotel was attractively
decorated with palm branches and
vines, while huge American and Ha-
waiian flags were appropriately draped
| in the dancing lanai.
The dinner was made merry by sew
eral parties. Manager and Mrs. Church
entertained a party including Mr.. and
Mrs. c. B. Wells and Miss Wells of
Waikiki, Miss Reed of Sacramento
Mrs. A. p. Taylor and Mr.. E. NJ. Wat
son. Another table was occupied by
Prince and Princess Kawananakoa and
Mr.. and Mrs. C. w. C. Deering. Por-
tuguese Consul Canavarro entertained
a small party, as did Captain and Mrs.
Lyon and Miss Newcomb and Mr.. New
comb. The souvenir menu cards were
much admired. Owing to many re-
quests Mr.. Church finally consented to
give the guests the pleasure of dancing,
although it had been his intention to
have all adjourn to the Young Hotel
for this purpose. After several dances
this advice was followed.
The Young Hotel holiday dinner was
largely attended. Every table was oc-
cupied and many dinner parties were
in evidence. The menus were attractive
souvenirs. Dancing was enjoyed by a
merry crowd until long after midnight

The guns of the New orleans were the

their range and accuracy surprised the

ment. Landed at Guam and Midway
