Governor Carter and Secretary At

of Kauai one week from today, the Sth
instant.
A complete tour Of the island will be
made, as In the case of Hawaii.
Speaking on this subject, the Gov
ernor sal dthis forenoon:
I'VE expect to complete the tour OF
Kauai in about week. This can be
accomplished by early rising and
quick travelling.
Among other things. want to per-
sonally investigate the matter Of ap-
pointments on that island. There are
many factional differences existing
which can only be properly understood
by being on the ground.
Then there is the liquor question.
One element on Kauai wants no more
liquor licenses issued.
Another element contends that O
monopoly controls the liquor traffic
there and that man cannot get a case
of liquor without practically paying q
bounty to those In control. BY being
on the ground | can find the facts IN
these matters"

Why is Corea of strategic value to

Why is Corea of strategic value to
Russia?
For two reasons. First Russian
vessels must make long detour
around COrea to pass from VladivO-
stok, Siberia, to Port Arthur, the Rus
sian harbor in Manchuria. In this
journey they must traverse a narrow
strait between COrea and a Japanese
island, comparable to Gibraltar. To in
sure free passage Russia seeks to con-
troll the end of the Corean peninsula.
Second when Russia begins its antici-
pated absorption of China it would be
inconvenient if a hostile power should
have military base on the north
eastern coast Of Asia. Therefore, it
desires to annex COrea.
Why does Japan object to the Rus
sian annexation of Corea?
Because Japan is OvercrOwded, with
population II times as dense as that
of the United States. and it seeks an
outlet for its immigrants on the MAIN
land. The isla} ! empire has hoped,
too, to make Corea the base of an at
tempt to extend Japanese influence
throughout China. Furthermore, it now
conducts nine-tenths of Corea's COM
merce and owns Corea's two railways.
| It's trade and railways would both be
no cd
of value in the event of Russia's sue
cess. And. finally, Japan holds that
it's own independence would be mem
aced were Russia to gain the harbor at
the end of the Corean peninsula almost
within cannon range Of the Japanese
island fortress of Tsushima.
Does Japan want to annex Corea?
No. 1t is satisfied to maintain Co
rea's sovereignty with the expectation
will give it the lions share of Colea's
trade.
When did the trouble between Japan
and Russia begin?
1t began in 1895. when by war Japan
had forced China to recognize Corea's
independence and to grant Japan the
southern end of Manchuria. Russia
forced Japan to give up Manchuria.
seized the surrendered territory and
secured a timber cutting concession in
the Yalu valley in Corea.
What brought on the present crisis?
Last year Russia advanced the
claim that the timber concession eX-
tends to the valleys of all rivers tribu-
tary to the Yalu and that it gives the
Russians the right to build railways
and to monopolize the port Of Yongam-
pho at the Yalu's mouth.
Did Russia announce its intention
to annex COrea?
1t did not But Japan took the
ground that its procedure meant Vir-
tual annexation and so issued a pro-
test. -
Is this likely to lead to war?
Japan says it will unless Russia re-
cedes from it's claims.

CATECHISM OF THE FAR EAST

What is the trouble in the Far East
asks the Kansas City Star.
Japan is trying to keep Russia out
of Corea.
What is Corea and where is it stu
ated?
Corea is an autocracy under Japa-
nese influence. about as large AS Kan
sas. with population estimated at
between 100000 and 100000. The
empire occupies a peninsula just south
! of Siberia. jutting into the Pacific
! ocean between the Yellow sea and
the sea of Japan, and reaching
within less than 100 miles of the
Southern end of Japan.
Is Corea a rich country?
| Not especially. 1t is a purely agri-
cultural land and the methods of Gull
| tiVation are primitive. \ few gold
mines are operated and there are sup
posed to be deposits of copper, iron
and coal.
Why. then. does Russia want Corea :
Chiefly because of its position. Co
rea is an extension of Manchuria which
practically belongs to Russia. In the
natural development of contiguous
| territory Russian merchants have
crossed the boundary into Corea and
Russian interests accommodating there
naturally look to the car for protec-
ton.

IS HANNA RECEPTIVE?

Hanna's latest candidacy utterance
himself on the proposition that he
would not accept a definitely rendered
nomination, he, so the story goes, re-
that kind would be absurd; for how
can man with good grace decline
something which has not been Of
fered?"
This is important, if true; it is
also important independently of its
truth or falsity. The fact that Hanna
permits sufficient doubt in the public
mind to open the Way for such stories
when by a simple and decisive explana-
ton he could put an end forever to
speculation, amounts at the least to a
straw in the presidential breeze. And
would be to declare amity and coop
GRAFTON with Mr.. Roosevelt. How easy
it would have been, at an earlier date
suting the purpose of Roosevelt. to Isl
sue the cali for the convention. How
easily Hanna could have Influenced
declarations for Roosevelt instead OF
the non-committal or positive Hanna
declarations which a few conventions
have made.
Nowhere is the press entering en-
phatic and conclusive denials of Han
ma, receptive attitude. 1t is prepos-
ferrous to assume that the furtherance
| of his boom is undertaken against his
| will by papers near his home. 1t must
| be borne in mind. in estimating his
purpose, that to admit a presidential
| ambition now would be the sheerest
amateurism: and that to whet the
| public curiosity is a powerful play
Hanna now looms larger as a posi-
| bility than he could as an avOweG
| candidate. Should he announce him.
| self or admit his willingness he would
at once come forth in his true pro-
portions out of the dark haze of doub,
in which he seems so menacingly i'm
mense. One more consideration-al-
most any of us would accept the pres
idency of the United States if it came
our way. Mr.. Hanna will bear watch
ing.
