! his political views grew out of his be-

"A recent writer said of Mayor Jones's
ways and methods:
Mayor Jones is Tolstoian in his
beliefs and tries to live according to the
Golden Rule The Mayor lives in
comfortable home in the most aristo-
cratic portion of the city. He rises
early in the morning, walks two miles
to his factory and works in the shop
with his men until nine O'Clock. Then
he goes to the Mayors Office and for
two hours and a half he looks over a
mail which daily brings him letters
from all parts of the world, and listens
to hundreds of poor people who bring
their cares and troubles to him as to
a father 1t is safe to say that no one
ever goes away from Mayor Jones with
out help: he gives away annually the
salary he receives as Mayor and how
much more besides nobody knows. AT
noon he goes back to his factory, and
eats dinner with his nIed. In the after
noon he works again in the Mayors
office, and in the evening usually deliv-
ers an address on some philosophical
or sociological theme: his audiences
are of all kinds and descriptions. He is
away from home frequently delivering
lectures and addresses, and all this
work he does for the love of it and
without any recompense other than the
satisfaction it brings HIM
MAYOR Jones's office is an Indication
of what the man is. The walls are
hung with pictures of noted men, many
of them, at least of those who are liv-
ing, with autograph presentations Be
sides these, most of the great poets
and authors of the world are represent
ed by their books. Whitman is Jones's
favorite He reads him constantly and
can recite most of his poems by heart
Mayor Jones is the most democratic
of men, He does not use the private
office of the Mayor except when COM
PEELED to, but ordinarily sits in the
large reception-room and talks with
any one who may come along. FIRE.
quentIy he pauses long enough to read
for his callers from the Bible
or from Whitman or from Tolstoi, and
if he does not read he recites passages.

Mukden, the headquarters of Alexieff

permitted, assuming few thousand

to go forward and encounter more.

POLITICS AS A CAREER.

Senator Depew in his recent address
at Yale gave young men some sound
advice against going into public life
but he overdid the matter when he 'said
that There is not an instance on rec
ord where a young man has entered
an administrative department and has
afterwards risen to a position of pro-
mfnence."
The New York Senator overiooks
some object lessons close at hand. A
young man named Daniel s. Lamont
took small public clerkship at AL
bany, in the Senator's State, became
secretary to a Governor and President,
then Secretary of War and is now
railway manager and millionaire.
George B. Cortelyou, one of the rising
men of the country, was a department
stenographer but a few years ago.
John Hay began his public career as
an assistant private secretary to Presl-
dent Lincoln. Representative Hit be-
gan as a Government messenger and
Senator German as a page. There are
probably many other exceptions to the
Depew rule worth looking up.
Still in a general way the New York
Senator is right. A Government clerk
rarely grows, except in his own sub
ordinate line of duty. A regular salary
and short hours spoil him for private
business and his absence from the
place where his pull was gained soon
loses it for him and he can expect no
more home backing for higher post
When the time comes for him to get
out of office he finds that a political
career is no recommendation to a bust
ness one. Most Government clerks and
pretty near all honest politicians die |
poor. The exceptions merely prove the
rule.
Honolulu can afford some cogent ex- |
amples of the bad beginning which a |
young man makes when he goes into |
politics for livelihood, but they are |
too near home to point out.

A GROWING COMMERCE.

Exports from the United States to
Canada will be larger in the fiscal year
| about to end than in any preceding
year. Reports just prepared by the De-
| partment of Commerce and Labor,
through its Bureau of Statistics, show
for the ten months for which figures
are already received total exports to
Canada amounting to 100000, goo,
against SOS. 900, eco in the corresponding
months of 1903 and eighty-nine millions
in the same months of 1902. Going
back to 1897, the year in which the
Canadian reduction in tariff on imports
from the United Kingdom went into
effect, the figures Of our exports to
Canada during the ten months ending
with April, 1897, are $51,9O3,579, or but
one-half those of the ten months end
ing with April, 1904.
The Canadian reduction of duty or
imports from the United Kingdom and
certain of it's colonies began in April,
1891, with a reduction of twelve and
one-haIf per cent. In 1898 this reduction
was increased to twenty-five per cent,
and in 1900 to thirty-three and one
third per cent, and has so continued
up to the present time. A table show
ing the total exports from the United
States to Canada, covering a long term
of years, indicates that there has been
a more rapid growth in exports to Can
ada since 1897 than at any period pre-
ceding that year. For the full fiscal
year our exports to Canada were, in
1874, SAL, 100000; in 1884, $44,0O0,O0O; in
1894, $4,000, 900; in 1897, the year in
which the Canadian reduction of duty
on imports from the United Kingdom
occurred $65, 000O 600, and in 1904 seem
likely to be nearly or quite $4,000, 900,
and will exceed those of any preceding
year.
OF imports into the United States
from Canada the total for 1874 was, in
round terms, 1884, 900, 900; in 1884, $3S,O0O.- !
900; in 1894, $S1, 100000, and in 1904, will
be about, $4s, 100000.

TRUSTS.

There are no politics in trusts. The
Fifty third Congress, Democratic. did
not raise a finger against trusts. Re-
publican Legislatures have been just as
active and fruitlessly active against
trusts as Democratic Legislatures. The
Federal law against trusts bears the
name of a Republican. Democrats are
just as much engaged in the existing
trusts as Republicans are. In fact
trusts are no more Republican and no
less Democratic than are partnerships.
AS to the hope of regulating them
Grover Cleveland proposed a way and
Theodore Roosevelt, in his dealing with
the Northern Securities case, found
one. Mr.. Hearst, in his suit against
the coal trust found another. But the
trouble is that the trusts are so pow
erful and protean that, when checked
in one place they turn up in another
with their charters and methods
changed to save their powers of mis-
chief.

MORE TINE FOR THE FAIR.

The claim is made that the physical
setting of the Worlds Fair at st. Louis
has cost over 100000, 900. Certainly the
pictures of the place suggest a height
and breadth of sp1endor which only
prodigaI use of millions could supply.
1t is a tremendous outlay for a tran
sient show, for a Worlds Fair in the
northern climate of the United States
only presents "a completed display for
about four months and during that
brief space of time it must look for
nearly all the returns it is to get from
its investment
Why would it not be practicable to
keep such a fair as that at ST. Louis
running for two years, giving it a Sec
ond simmer with added attractions?
Is it not to be supposed that with the
world to draw upon, it could expect
longer run than Barnum's circus
counts upon when it visits New York
or than Irving may expect when he
opens a new and stirring season in
London? Here is the greatest show
ever made in the world, this one at st.
Louis, and yet We give it lease of life
through a shortened summer only. 1t
deserves to be held together so long
as there are enough people DESTROYS of
seeing it to pay it's running expenses
and swell a sinking fund.
