An Old and Rather Thin Farce with Man,
Bright Lines.

II was the custom Of the elder farce for
all Of the characters to act in collision with
the author by remaining out Of their senses
whenever the plot required it, There are
a score of places in The Passport which
Edward Terry put on last night for four
performances at the Princess. where If any
of the drdmdiis persona had had the least
grain Of common sense the play would
have come to an abrupt close. But at the
crucial moment each fulfilled his part in
the conspiracy Of idiocy; and 50 the authors,
B. {. Stephenson and " Yardley. were
enabled 20 fill out three acts without let OF
hindrance

encounter each other shortly afterward
in the house Of the NJ. p. That is all, and
it is enough
The construction OF the play is rather
loose and apt 10 run into irrelevant ara
besques Of complication. At best the fun
is rather thin But the charact ers have
some trace of real observation and the
lines are often apt and irresistibly comic.

II IL unfortunately a memorial volume

of greater achievement that the poetic
quality Of his verses inspired was ended by
his untimely death. or the many poems
that had appeared in various periodicals
a selection has been made in this little book,
which is beautifully gotten up.
Mr.. Bocock was great admirer OF Horace
and we find here several adaptations from
his author. Other poems deal with the
nober affections patriotism, religion,
family life. They are melodlous and gentle.
We quote two stanzas from Skipper Brown

This little skipper with eyes OF brown,

And the garish sun goes down
Her bark floats over the Enmy town

Resigning Under Fire.

The st. Adams Messenger is ac-
cused of inconsistency because 1t ex-
presses the inference that Superin-
tendent Cakes of the state prison di-
reefs further suspicion toward himself
by his recent resignation, while not
long ago the Messenger urged resigna-
tion as the plain duty of Lieutenant
Governor Allen when he was threat
ened with public disgrace. The Mes
senger pointed out the fact that Mr.. AL
len was holding one of the states
highest official positions while Mr..
Cakes is merely an employee. 1t might
have pointed out further what makes
a great deal more difference, that the
danger which threatened Mr.. Allen
was wholly with reference to personal
and private matters, while Mr.. Cakes
is exposed to suspicion with reference
solely to the conduct of his office.
Lieutenant Governor Allen on trial
for an alleged felony of Private Citi-
zen Allen would have shamed the
state. to avoid the possibility he might
we'll have resigned without dishonor.
Superintendent Cakes threatened with
exposure of alleged corruption in office
has not strengthened his position by
resignng under fire. The two cases
are absolutely without similarity.
Some day when the public business
IS made public in all its details we
may know whether Mr., Cakes resigned
because he couldn't stand the strain,
because he was afraid of exposure,
,r because the directors requested him
o do so. In any event the investiga
ion should proceed as before, and if
Mr. Cakes is proved blameless so
much the better. If not

Afraid of What?

1t is not many years since California
made such vehement protest against
the Chinese immigrant that the Fed
eral government passed the Chinese
exclusion act. The complaint against
the Chinese was briefly this. They
come to America simply to make
money and to take it back to China;
they do not adopt our language, our
manner of dress, our customs, our re-
ligion or our politics: they do not in
terest themselves in the higher forms
of industry; they do not add anything
to the citizenship of this country; they
are not progressive. These objections
to the Chinese prevailed and they come
no more except by escaping the Off
GERS
Japanese who have come to the island
and have been set to work in the cane
fields--work that white men will not
do-these Japs will not stay put. They
no sooner get the "hang" of western
ways than they insist on putting in"
W every lIdue, anu activity
of the island till the whites are begin
ming to feel crowded out. For fear
that the island will eventually become
entirely "Japanized," the whites want
the privilege of importing Chinese
coolies to do the work with the idea that
the Chinese will stick to the same old
job and leave outside things alone.
The Chinaman is wanted in Hawaii
for the same reason that he is not
wanted in California-he is not pro-
gressive. The Japanese is not wanted
in Hawaii because he is too progress
sive. The one says: If the Chinese
were more like Americans they might
come here; the other: If the japanese
were less like Americans We could use
them.
What are the white people afraid
of? Are the Chinese more industrious,
more economical, more thrifty? Are
the Japanese more progressive, more
capable, more energetic? Let us learn
from them both. The whites have CEN
turtles of civilization behind them; but |
We are afraid of the yellow man be-
cause he is yellow.
