the WAR CORRESPONDENTS.

The war correspondents still COM
Main. They are unanimous in accusing
the Japanese officers of bad faith, but
the truth probably is that the home
authorities promised things which the
field commanders refused TO carry out.
As a rule a General in the field abhors
the war correspondent as privileged
spy. General Sherman would not nave
the field reporters about his head
ararters in the Civil War campaigns
and al one time he threatened to hang
whiteIaw Reid. During the Spanish
war Shafter and the pressmen were
always at odds. Lord WolseIey. in his
military text book, urged British ON
GERS to refuse CORE pondents s1elter'
food and forage. Ten years ago the
Japanese were inclined to welcome war
correspondents and give them chance
TO unfold the military virtues Of Japan
to the outside world; but after their
experience with James Creelman. who
invented the story Of the Port Arthur
massacre" they drew the lines very
taut. allowing no new men to enter the
field and even censoring the private
letters of those already there. As to
the present attitude of the japanese
Generals it is the common and natural
one. No commander whose country 8
fortunes and his own are at stake, can
afford to surround himself with foreign
observers whose business is to pene-
trate the secrets of his plans and pub
hsh them te the world, using bribed
messengers or even the new device of
wireless telegraph to reach that end.
Touching the complaint that COR
respondents are not permitted to go
near the firing lines, it may be said
that the precaution is necessary lest
the men be captured by the enemy and
pumped dry of any information they
may have of the Japanese dispositions.
Probably after this war the special
correspondent at the front will dis
appear altogether. He is, particularly
since wireless telegraphy was invented
and owing to the bride money he has
on hand, too dangerous a guest for a |
cautious General to accept.

NOT A REVIVAL YEAR.

An Eastern paper complains that the
general revival of religious fervor in
the Evangelical churches which Rev.
DR. Brushingham of Chicago is trying
TO inspire shows no signs OF realization.

people "are strangely Indifferent to the
appeals of the pulpit and even to those

A study of the great revival move
ments in the United States, however,
leads to the conclusion that they are
the products of hard times. When "a
financial panic comes and business
houses totter and fall, when incomes
are reduced and the outlook ahead is

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Today viii be a day of rejoicing Tor
/ many of the citizens of Honolulu for
| it il the four hundred and sixty
Fourth anniversary of the achievement
of Portuguese independence from Spain,
an event which had a profound infiu-
fence on the destiny of the peoples of
the Iberiar Peninsula. The history of
the little kingdom on the shores of the
| Atlantic, surrounded by a hostile
domain which seems always ready to
push her smaller neighbor off into the
waters of the great ocean, is a stir
| ing one. full of legends of martial valor
and all the romance and poetry of
medieval days The nation had its
birth amid the turmoil of the holy wars
and being consolidated with other prov
| inces wrenched from the unhappy
of the daughter of the King of Spain,
and being consolidated with other pro-
vinces wrenched from the unhappy
Moors in the long struggle that led up
to the fall of Granada.
Graded amid the bloody strife be-
tween Cross and Crescent, which lasted
for two centuries before the whole of
what is now Portugal was taken from
the Saracens, the infant nation was
soon plunged into the throes of civil
strife which wrested the crown from
the House of Burgundy and gave it
to the House of Aviz and made the
power of the crown absolute. Now be-
gan the golden age of Portuguese his
tory Her explorers carried the Por-
tuguese flag to the remotest corners of
the globe and her gaIleons, laden with
the gold, gems and spices of the Indies,
Africa and the Americas plowed every
sea. But the drain of her immense
commerce was too much for the lit
tie kingdom. Her men were taken to
the far-off colonies and when King
Sebastian persisted with his army in a
battle with the Moors of Northern
Africa in 1878 the country fell an easy
prey to Philip II of Spain.
Fol-. many years Portugal remained
province of Spain until, goaded by
Spanish tyranny, the people of the lit
tie country rose in revolt and aided by
England forced Spain to acknowledge
their independence in 1910. The crown
went to the House of Braganza of
which Carlos ", the reigning monarch,
is a member. Although there have been
some disturbances since independence
was achieved. today Portugal is in a
state of prosperity and peace. But the
day of her independence marked the
shattering of all hopes of Spanish
greatness and today the little nation
is in some respects more powerful than
her larger neighbor whose past glory |
stands in contrast with her present
weakness and shame.

The attempt of some organization
here to compel the sole employment of
citizens on the police force is absurd.
In a place where so many races con-
gregate it is necessary to have a few
alien police, japanese to ferret out
crimes among their countrynien and
Chinese and Portuguese to do the same.
The question to be settled is one OF
capacity. courage and honesty, not one
of citizenship To catch the criminal
is the main point, not to pay a party
organization's debts.
