CHRYrIANlzlN6 JAPANESE.

The article copied from the Hawaii
shinpo on Christian missionary work
among japanese. points to a difficulty
which the missionaries have met among
other people than the little brown men.
There IL no more troublesome field in
which TO estab lish Christianity than
one where the inhabitants mix their re-
llgion with their politics. Thus in japan
the people are bound in a species of
state worship Of which the Emperor is
the deified head; at least ih Is so near
ly deifed that an attempt to change the
spiritual allegiance of his subjects to
the Son of God Is looked upon as a
sacrilege and one moreover which tends
to weaken the respect in which he is
held as the political chief of the state.
That is to say, the average japanese
feels that he cannot be a Christian and
at the same time a loyal subject of the
Emperor. Apparently this view is not
taken by the Emperor himself nor by
subjects of the highest intelligence, but
we are speaking of the masses among
whom the missionaries chiefly labor,
where 1t is very prevalent.
The same circumstance gives the
missionaries trouble in the Turkish EN-
pire. A man cannot turn from the faith
of the Sultan and remain true to his
temporal sovereignty-the religion and
politics of the Mohammedan autocrat
being two sides of the same shield.
Turks regard an attempt to subvert the
ancient faith as one to subvert the
foundations of the throne. This ac-
counts for the everlasting trouble be-
~, -,
trouble that generally ends in the
slaughter of Armenians, who have no
Foreign Office and fleet of ironclads be-
hind them.
1t is probably true, as the Shinpo
says, that the proportion of sincere
Christians among japanese converts is
much smaller than the missionaries
suppose. Commonly in Japan the
traveller soon begs to be spared from
stopping any more at the hotel of a ma
tive christian" for he knows he Will
be cheated. Nevertheless the faith has
made a far more visible progress in
Japan than it did in Rome fifty years
after the birth of Christ and now Rome
is center of the Christian world. The
conquest of one religion by another is
usually a process of the ages not the
feat of an hour; and we must have
much longer perspective than the civil
liZation of Japan now affords in which
to rightly judge the strength and re-
suits of the Christian movement. Moth
ing is more probable than that, in
few generations, the old superstitious
reverence for the Emperor will vanish
and that he will become. either gilded
n hnn of rot hit
of a business nation. In either case
he would cease to be an obstacle in the
way of the spread among his people of
Christian doctrine. Perhaps-who
knows ?-he will turn Christian himself
1t is possibility as all these things
are for which the Christian religion,
lowered as it is with the patience of
can afford to wait.

PORTUGUESE AND SMALL FARMS.

The suburbs of San Francisco are
covered with small farms OF from two
to six acres apiece on which Portu-
euese families make a living. These
farms are numerous on the sand dunes
between the settled part of the town
and the GIN House. The soil looks
forbidding and there is ralnless sea-
son of about five months. Gophers.
rabbits. birds and insects are pests 10
contend with, yet vegetables and small
fruits are grown and there are two
crops a wear of many garden products.
Goats are pastured among the rocks
and sometimes cows are kept. These
little rocket farms are thrifty and one
is surprised to find that many of the
Portuguese owners came from Homo
lulu, where they left a better soil ana
more abundant rainfall and more
remunerative market.
BY means OF a liberal land policy,
both on the part of the Government
and private owners, these emigrants
from Hawaii could have been kept on
island soil. But out of a principally
of vacant acres they could not be sure
of more than six feet apiece to call
theif own. ines W." ,,oraa,

THE LlSlANSKl SKINS.

skipper Weisbarth may or may not
have missed a fortune when he failed
to get the cached btrdskins on Lisian-
ski island, for there is no assurance,
had he brought them to this port, that
he would have been allowed to keep
them.
According to Washington advices the
United States government claimed the
skins and contemplated sending a YES
sci after them, Captain Hamlet OF the
revenue cutter Thetis said that the
prizes undoubtedly" belonged to the
Territory of Hawaii. Between the two
claims, which would certainly have
been lodged il the birdskins had an
rived AT this port, the claims of Capt.
Weisbarth might have fallen to the
ground, At any rate he would have
found himself obliged to nire lawyer
and fight for his property; and mean
while the Hawaiian bugs would have
a chance nj the skins.
Az things are the Japanese have taxi
en- the skins and that is the last we
shall probably hear of them.

MERITS OF SMALL FARMING.

This mornings Advertiser, champion
of small farming of all kinds and ever
enthusiastic over the possibilities of a
few acres of land almost anywhere, con-
tains a quotation from the Washington
Star which was meant for the Main
land. but is all too true here. The fol-
lowing is true of the small farmer,
more or less from Maine to CalifoET
MAJ" do you think Bliggins could run
a small farm successfully" Certainly.
Bliggins has several hundred thousand
dollars in bank, and doesn't care how
he spends money."-Star.
The above comes from an article in
which the futility of growing vegetables
here for shipment to California and the
difficulty of selling them in town is
made clear-but not for the first time.
The Advertiser has demonstrated it
over and over again, pointing out that
small farming and market gardening
are two very different things.
The Advertisers idea of small farm
ing in Hawaii is specialized agriculture
for export purposes and staple agricul-
ture for living expenses and small
change. In the first category it includes
sisal, alligator pears and lines, coffee,
tobacco and vanilla or anything else that
can be sold on the coast without meet
ing local competition there; in the sec
ond, or home consumption and small
change class, 1t includes the growing
of vegetables, berries, grapes (ot the
best table varieties), watermelons,
honey, poultry, hogs, etc. 1t may be
demonstrated over and over again that
there is a good living and something
more for an industrious man in this
kind of agriculture. If there is room fof
a few COWS their entire feed-sorghum,
alfalfa and panicum grass-can be
grown on the place. ana a good COW
fed in this way and the milk retailed Is
safe for profit of SIS a month or even
more.
There are thousands of vacant acres
which could be divided into farms where
American young men, used to the hard
scrabble agriculture of the mainland,
would be glad to establish themselves
and show that the spirit which subdued
the wilderness is not dead yet. Why
not give them a chance?

CANNOT INTERFERE.

According to an official circular just
merce and Labor was not vested with
power of intervention in disputes be-
tween employers and employees, nor
was it the intention or desire of Con-
gress that the services of the depart
ment should be utilized in the direc-
ton of arbitration or settlement of
strikes. The act of June IL, 1888, es-
tablished Department of Labor,
which remained an independent organ
ization operating under the law creat-
ing it until under the act of Febru-
airy IA, 1908, it became a bureau of
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor. under the jurisdiction of the Sec
rotary of that department. BY this
transfer the scope of its authority was
not in any way enlarged so that 1t
might lawfully engage in the attempt
ed settlement of industrial disputes.
Section l of the act of June 10, 1888,
establishing a Department of Labor,
provided:
There shall be at the seat of govern
ment Department of Labor, the gem
eral design and duties of which shall
be to acquire and diffuse among the
people of the United States useful in
formation on subjects connected with
labor, in the most general and COM
prehensive sense of that word, and es-
pecialy upon its relation to capital,
the hours of labor, the earnings of
ls,l fTgp
means of promoting their material So
cial, intellectual and moral prosperity.
Section placed the department UNI
der the charge of a Commissioner to
be appointed by the President by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate. and Section defined the du-
ties of the Commissioner in regard to
controversies and disputes that might
arise between capital and labor. 1t
provided:
That the Commissioner of Labor, in
accordance with the general design
and duties referred to in Section of
this act, is especially charged to as
certain, etc. The Commissioner of La
Dor is also specially charged to inVes-
tigate the causes of and facts relating
to all controversies and disputes be-
tween employers and employees as they
may occur and which may tend to in
terfere with the welfare of the people
of the different States, and report
thereon to Congress.
BY the provisions of the act Great
ing the Department of Labor, which
has since been transferred To the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor 1t
Is plain that Congress never Contem-
plated that departments established
solely for the purposes OF investiga-
ton and report should transgress the
boundaries fixed Tor them TO the extent
Of Intervention In labor disputes,
4 widespread though erroneous im-
preston prevails that the Department
of Commerce and Labor could lawfully
/ bee transformed into a tribunal Tor ar,

tnE POSSIBLE INDUSTRIES.

Commenting on the Advertisers re-
mark that Hawaii ought to mane It's
own rope, smoke it's own tobacco. do Its
own insurance, raise its own poultry
eggs and fruit. manufacture its OWL
wine and spirits and market it's own
refined sugar" the Maui News says:
Something over two years ago the
News pointed out that vegetables
fruits. poultry, etc, would eNentuaiiy
prove a paying investment. 1t rs only
necessary to again call attention to the
upper districts of Maui where pine
apples. bananas, squashes. wheat ana
melons are raised protitably Nor Is
this the limit of the possible Industries.
Other like industries as well as new
ones are being preached which even
tually will put Maui as well as the
other islands we'll on their way toward
the goal of diversified industries.
In another paragraph the Maui paper
gives solemn warning in these words:
Now that sugar is jumping up toward
five cents pound, there Is some dan
ger that the modest minor industries
may be overlooked to the detriment OF
the Islands. cuba still looms up IKE
a big, black cloud in the east, and the
time may yet come when diversified
industries will be our only salvation.
We have sure industries in rubber
pineapples banana flour, taro -four
sisal. vanilla beans, cacao, and fruits
such as avocado pears. as well as gu
ava and poha jellies which can be sue
cessfully shipped, and the News So
lemnly warns the people of the Islands
that now is the time to lay the founda-
ton for every minor industry. Plant
avocado pear seed in every vacant
spot. Start rubber, pineapple, and ba-
mana plantations and get ready for
what may some time happen.
If Hawaii be ever caught mapping
over its sole basket of eggs and the
contents upset, certainly its press can
not be blamed for the casualty. In
both boom and busted" periods for
more than a score of years there has
ever been heard, from one or more or
gans of public opinion, the same note
now ably played by the Maui Newsman
in accord with the Advertiser. And al
ways the tune has been assailed by the
multitudinous croak of the scoffer
Where is the land?" Land! There is
enough garden space in the city district
of Honolulu lying fallow and numbered
with weeds to choke the local market
with succulent vegetables and luscious
fruits, besides providing a surplus of
exportable products which would re-
turn many thousands of dollars from
San Francisco and Puget Sound mar
kets. No doubt, too, amongst the lands
rated as "uncultivable" in official land
statistics there is an immense aggre-
gate area of warm gulches and shelter
ed pockets on the mountain sides, where
bananas, grapes, oranges, lines, olives
and what not would thrive.

If. Gen. Kuropatkin takes the ini-
tiative" it VIII naturally be n move
ment for the relief of Port Arthur. But
such a venture presupposes the defeat
of at least a quarter of million men
in the north and from $4,000 TO 100000
in the south and these men the best
soldiers, perhaps, that the world holds
today. Russia does not possess the
lsanguine temperament necessary to get
much comfort from initiatory plans
(which have such obstacles ahead of

OF several results from the publica-
ton in the sunday Advertiser of a
tropical menu without meat, the most
diverting is the solemn protest of an
Englishman against including baked
beans. His establishment over such a
dish is as great as that of an American
over the Englishman's breakfast mar
malade. Your true Yankee would no
more spoil his breakfast with MARINA
lade than he would with chocolate car
amels; and apparently your true En-
.glishman would no more accept matu-
final spread of baked beans than he
would of chopped feed. Probably both
lose something by their gustatory pref
udiees The writer of the menu should
have put marmalade ON his list, there Is

Following is what the Muncie,
Ind, paper has to say about the
Ideal Entertainers, who will render
their splendid production at Temple
Theatre June ID, in the interest of
the /. o. o. F:
1.-The Ideal Entertainers have
come and gone. In order to criti-
else their entertainment briefly but
accurately we have asked the ques-
tion "How did you like the Ideal
Entertainers performance Tuesday
night?" to about dozen competent
critics and theatre going people, and
the verdict of everyone has been,
"The best Of the kind we have ever
SEEM" And this opinion was shared
by everyone in attendance. These
people are perfect gentlemen and
have a clean moral and diversified
entertainment, should they come
again they will be greeted by full
house and a hearty reception.
