KoREA's LITTLE EMPEROR.
He Has But Little to Say About the
Government or the Future Of
His Country.

The little emperor of Korea is neither
so powerful as the car, on one SIDE OF
him, nor so wise as the mikado OF Japan,
on the other side. His country is little,
so when his big and powerful neightbors
on either side begin to fight each other,
as they are doing now, he is k a grain
of wheat between millstones.
A look at the map will show how a

tramp across his small country. m this
Is what they are doing, without feeling
badly about doing it. Surely the little
emperor is in a peck of trouble. He might
as we'll be a plain, everyday American as
an emperor, because as an emperor he is
no more able to stop them than If be were
an American. When we think OF a EN-
pire we think of a great, powerful natloh
like Germany, and not little, weak ano
like Korea, but Ii Hi, Ii Hsi, LiHoui' "
Hieung, I'll Houi, or whatever the emper-
or's real name is, likes to think OF his
little country as an empire. No one needs
to bother about learning to pronounce
any Of these names, because so little IL

try that all of them might be wrong
According to. the New York Tribune
there are many queer things about this
ruler. who is said by those who have seen
him to be short and stout and to look as
if he were not well. They say he always
looks good natured, but does not look az
if he knew a great deal. When persons
are allowed to see him they always see
him alone, in the midst of a big room, ano
that makes him seem smaller still.
Like the midako, he asks many ques'
tons and knows a great deal for a man

Yokobamans CANT Let Up on walker

Under the caption, Another Fizzle, >
the Yokohama Weekly Box OF Curios of
January has the following fling at Mr..
Walker, the Honolulu yachtsman who
tried in Yokohama recently TO promote
a Hawaiian Japanese yacht contest The
paper adds some knots to Walkers
claim for his boat
No one ever doubted that Sir
Thomas Upton was a sport for he has
proved 1t IN every contest for the
America Cup and when, after his last
defeat, he announced he would not chal-
1enge again he was looked upon as a
sensible man, 1t now seems that he
has the fever again and has issued an
other challenge, but we predict it will
be the same old story-another defeat
and another batch of contributions from
our British cousins who Loyalty back
their boat, simply out OF patriotism,
well knowing that to bet on her is sim
ply throwing good money away Sir
Thomas deserves to win for he has tried
often enough and spent many thousands
of dollars, but by this time he ought to
know they cannot build yachts III Eng
land nor supply a crew to sail them to
victory. Shamrock III made the poor
est showing of any of the Shamrocks,
but perhaps this time he has secured Ho-
nolulu Walkers model. the man who
built a 10 rater that made II knots an
hour over a triangular course If the
new boat is to be built by Walker the
Americans might as well pack up the
old mug and express it to Sir Thomas,
for when they have to compete against
sail boats like Walkers, that can knock
the stufing out OF steamships and tor
pedo boats. it IS about time that Nat
Herreshoff should give up trying. OF
course, if Walker is to build the new
boat no American will dare bet against
her /"

SIMPLE LIvlKG.

The man back east who explains how
he lives on fifteen cents a day does not
exhibit tempting menu, but he lays
claim to perfect health. His food is
the simplest and the nearest to nature,
and he eats but little. After all, eating
is the source of most the ills that flesh
is heir to- and those who eat least, like
the desert tribes, live the longest. The
trouble is that eating has, in large
measure, became a social rite. We eat
strive to excel others in the bounty of
the table or If not, to show that prodi
gal feasting is at our command. Cen
orally one is sorry next day for the ex-
to right the wrong done nature, by semi
fasting on plain and simple food 1t
does not take long for the milk toast
and the soft-boile led eggs and the fruit
to put one right again. And they
would have kept one right from the
start.
The fifteen cent day philosopher is
as much of an extremist in his way
as the gourmand is in his. Although
he has fine health he would be none
the worse for adding a few more sim
pie things to his menu and thus avoid
ing the peril of safety. But he strikes
many true notes, particularly in his
dissertation on corn meal as standby
and as. compared with patented break
fast foods. His corn meal costs him
an eighth of cent a pound and he
claims, we think justly, that he gets
more nutriment from it than he can
obtain from breakfast foods. The meal,
if unadu1terated, has it's full per
centage of natural force; but the corn
and wheat from which breakfast foods
are made, have something taken away.
They are dessicated and devitaIized
Plain corn meal was the, cereal food
of the most splendid races of Indians
on the North American continent; and
it was the staple, with potatoes, dairy
products and homemade wheaton
bread, of the rugged New England
farmer. As mush, fried or boiled, as
Indian pudding and in the form of
hot cakes, corn meal is worth all the
patented breakfast foods that ever be-
guiled the readers of magazine adver-
tisements. If one, for the sake of vari-
ETY. alternates it with rice-the chief
food of the most tireless toilers in the
world-no other cereal is needed. The
two are Incompatible in the places on
ones menu which are now occupied by
the Almostfoods and Nextocorns of the
roller mills.

s.Know Nothing" Policy advocated.

The following editorial from the
Maui News echoes a sentiment that
lately found expression in a meeting
of the Honolulu Builders and Traders
Exchanges:
While it is true that the schoolhouse
is the corner stone of American prog
ress, yet a condition has now arisen on
the Hawaiian Islands which is fast be-
coming unbearab Bile, and which is be-
ginning to call forth indignant pro
tests from citizen taxpayers. 1t is not
right or just that the citizens of tbs
Territory should be called upon to edu-
children whose parents We're brought
here as plantation laborers. AT least
three-fourths of the children attending
our public schools are Japanese, whose
parents are here incidentally, and who
will leave for Japan with their families
when they have acquired what to them
will be competence when they return
home. Our school system is necessari-
ly an extremely expensive one, but no
of our own citizens are concerned
However, when that expense is dou-
bled by the burden of educating alien
children, the News feels that the time
has come to register an emphatic pro-
test. A movement should meet with
hearty endorsement if directed toward
enacting a law limiting the benefits
of our public schools to the children
of our own citizens. What do you
think of the idea?

ROBERT BURNS.

scotchmen cannot follow Bruce or
! bleed with Wallace but they can sing
with Burns. His poetry touches their
hearts though his life and character
were in no wise typical of the best of
their own. Still they remember the
temptation and the age and their souls
respond TO what is genuine and typical
in the ploughboy's verse; and nothing
more genuine and typical. as respects
the patriotism, friendship, conviviality
and rural life of the Scottish peasantry
was ever written.
1t is not commonly known that once
Robert Burns was upon the point of
becoming an American. He had con-
tracted marriage under the loose law
of his country which incensed the
father of his bride and he was deter
mined to leave and seek his fortune
in the New World. where, but a few
years before, the colonials had estab-
Ifshed their independence Tt was
necessary to have more money than he
owned and so he vehtured to print and
sell the poems which he had written in
secret and hidden away. These YER
ses had scarcely gone from the press
when intellectual Scotland called for
the author Instead of going to Amer
lea Burns went to Edinburgh, where
he met the great men of Scottish let
tiers, Dugald Stewart and DR.. Blair and
the as yet unknown Walter Scott.
His muse was fairly prolific from that
on and when he died in 1896 he left a
considerable and permanent addition to
English literature.
The Scotch are perhaps the only peo-
pie who single out a man of letters for
their national hero and observe his
birthday. Who keeps the birthdays
of Shakespeare or Goethe or Cervantes
or Petrarch? Learned societies per-
haps but no race or nation. Such
honors in other lands are reserved for
princes and generals and great states
men, Scotland lacks for none of these.
Her annals ring with the clash Of
knightly steel and loom with the fig
ures of soldiers and men of State; but
she turns from these and places her
chapIet on the bust of the ploughboy
who sung from his heart of the COM
mon, human life about him.

OBSTACLES TO WAR.

There are some potent causes which
operate in these days TO prevent war:
"a The debts of European nations are
so great and taxation is SO heavy, that
q. foreign war, if indecisive, thereby in
creasing both debt and taxation. is
likely to cause a perilous amount Of
discomfort at home.
90 IF the result of the war is de-
cisive, other powers may combine to
keep the victorious one from getting
the prizes for which it fought. Rus
STA got nothing out of her war on Tur-
key other than the protection of some
of the Christian subjects of the Turk
under other flags than her own. She
was foiled of Constantinople. Later,
In the victorious war with Greece, she
was foiled of Thessaly. When ia
pan whipped China, she was permitted
to get only part of the recompense
which China coded to her, losing the
Liaotong peninsula-which includes
Port Arthur-and the suzerainty over
Korea, both of which We're vital to her
interests. 1t doesn't pay to fight for
spoils that may be snatched away by
outsiders.
80 War plays such havoc with COM
merce that all powers which share
the trade of a threatened country use
their influence to protect it. Thus, in
the present Far Eastern crisis, the
commercial nations are directing their
advice towards a compromise.
"a Commercial nations are usually
able to prevent the issuance OF for
eign loan to belligerent powers. So
far Japan and Russia have not sold
any beds though both have issued
paper. If the money market abroad
is closed to them they will have to
look at home for funds. It is doubtful
that Japan could do so to advantage;
nor is Russia favprably situated for
domestic borrowing on a large scale.
She prefers to seek funds of the French
who, SO far, are wary of the proposal,
go The balance of power is dis
turbed by war and Europe wishes to
maintain that balance as it is. Had
the United States sought, in 1889, to
annex portions of Spain, continental
Europe would have organized against
her. Political balances, in the Old
World. are things not lightly to be
disturbed. In Asia the matter is less
acute than in Europe but it counts.
go AS a recource from war the pow
ers have established a peace tribunal
at The Hague. 1t is open at all times
and ready for business and there is a
grbwing sentiment in the world that
1t ought to be relied upon in the set
Element of all international questions
which do not involve definite point
OF honor.
In view of all these obstacles to wars,
the chances of a conflict, between Rus
STA and Japan over a matter which
may be arbitrated, seem remote.

ADULTERANTs.

The passage of a national pure food
law will not only protect the public but
the jobbers and retailers. It is i'm
possible for the latter, unless they sub
ject all the drugs, wines, liquors and
provisions they buy to analysis, to
keep their shelves free of adultera-
tions. And such tests would, as things
are, compel them to also keep their
shelves free of wares. To do business
at all they must take what comes, I'M
der the manufacturers guarantee, and
make the best of it. though they well
know, as the public does, that things
are rarely what they seem. The art
of "doctoring'' food has gone long
way since the day OF sanded sugar and
has brought US to the time when we
are not sure of finding our truffies free
from an admixture of black silk in
bits; and when even the most spark
be rain water mixed with marble dust.
The pure food law will reach the
manufacturers who are the sources of
the evil. It will not permit them to
send such wares from State to State
and thus will isolate the business and
quickly bring it to terms; and in Ter
ritories the law will deal directly with
all offenders. The net result, if the
law is enforced, will be pure food and
a rise in prices; but the latter effect
may be counterbalanced by decrease
in doctors bills.
