STATE DEVELOPMENT.

1--WE talk much about our nat
ural resources, and we invite all
the world to come and live with
US because we have good air and
good water and good soil and
good timber and coal and iron
under the ground i'm other
words, because God has been
generous to the land. Well, the
truth is, the land was really rich
er when the Indians held it than
it is now; and the water was just
as good, the air was just as pure,
and there were more forests and
and more iron and coal than
there are now. For that matter
there are undeveloped regions in
South America that have many
natural advantages even over the
great and varied natural advan-
tages of our State.
This program of inviting set
tiers is program of sheer de-
pendence on Nature. 1t implies
the old conception of education,
the old conception of wealth-cre-
alton; for it takes no account or
little account, of the part that
men play in making wealth.
Within reasonable limits, it mat
mers little what Nature has done
for country. If you take any
land in the temperate zone and
put well-trained men there, the
land will turn out to be all right.
What did nature do for Holland,
which is the most densely pop
ulated country of Europe, and
one of the most thrifty and hap
py? Nature overfowed it with
the sea. and man had to reclaim
the very soil he lives on. | know
a part of our own country poorer
in natural resources than almost
any other part, and yet the peo-
pie who live there make more
kinds of useful and beautiful
things than the same number of
people make any where else in
America and more of them are
rich or well-to-do than the peo-
pie in any other part of the coun-
try. And education engages as
large a part of the population as
any other single industry, and
there is as much money spent on
school-houses and their equip
ment and on libraries as is spent
in the equipment of any single
industry.
While natural resources count
for much, the community where
the people are trained to profita-
BILE industry is the community to
which other men will go to live,
and they will go from all parts of
the world. After the first pio-
neer settlements are made, it is
trained men that attract men

The right training of men is a
better thing than the bounty of
Nature itself. Natue alone new
er made prosperous States. !"
Walter H. Page.
Ignorant people do not know
how or when or where to develop
the gifts of nature, and they sit
and do nothing until others who
are better educated in science
and industrial arts come in, seize
the available opportunities, pur-
chase for pittance the undevel-
Oped possibilities, and thus be-
come wealthy, while the native
population remain poor in the
midst of surrounding natural
wealth. IS. G. Heiskell.

KURopATKIN's DOWNFALL.

Kuropatkin has been dismissed from
command in disgrace a penalty which,
though severe, is probably merited. It
is not that the Russian general has
been beaten in battle after battle with
the finest soldiery in the world so much
adequate preparation for the events to
come. Kuropatkin had control of the
army administration of Russia about
two years before the fatal Sth of
Japan and studied the army, the Toxic
government giving him every reason
able facility to do so. He ought to
have known, as nearly every one else
did, that Japan was bent on avenging
the loss, at the instance of Russia, of
the best fruits of the war with China:
that her pride was strongly enlisted
in the Manchurian and Korean ques-
tions and that she had become an
armed power of high rank Instead
of measuring the situation as it was,
Kuropatkin returned home to live in
q FOOLS paradise. Assuredly, he
thought, Japan will never attack the
gigantic power which has bluffed
Europe for forty years; and so, in
stead of rushing men and munitions
into Manchuria and locating them at
all strategic points, the war caught
Russia with less than $4,000 men in
that field and with no point, except
Port Arthur, adequately fortified. 1t
is the irony of fate and the justice OF
it as well that the consequences of
Kuropatkins bad Judgment should fall
on his own head.

RUSSlA'S BLUFF.

The first stage OF the peace negotia-
ton between Russia and Japan taxes
the usual form of big talk by the los
ing side. Having already signified that
she would like peace without an in
denlnity. Russia. follows that expression
bv mock heroics. The Council of the
Empire has decided to fight some more;
poor. Rotestvensky. covering under
the lee of Africa. has been ordered to
attack Togo; a vastly greater army
than Russia could feed with its single
line of Railroads.&c., 900 men-has been
ordered to Manchuria; Russia would
like money but does not need it so
badly as to make a loan for less than
%. All this is easily recognizable as
bluff, intended to deceive Japan into
Offering more favorable terms of peace.
But japan knows her position and
may be expected to make the best of
it, She is now the mistress of the
East. Close to her base she can bring
more troops into the field and feed them
than Russia can possibly no. OnS Oh
her soldiers is the equal of two Rus
slams. Saghalien, the $15,000,000 seal
fisheries at Commander island and
Vladivostok itself are at her mercy.
With the railroad in hand she can
easily put troops on the Siberian bor-
der. In the matter of money she can
get more from the people, by appealing
to their patriotism and self-sacrif1ce.
than Russia can borrow today in the
European markets at 80. At her signal
China would be likely to rise and help
with money, men and provisions. She
commands the sea. Surely she does
not need to abate her demands for the |
sake of bringing Russia to time,-a
power which is on its last legs now, so |
far as the Manchurian campaign goes
and is menaced by insurrection at |
home.

NOT WORRYING

Mrs. Max Schlemmer sends this I'M
signed letter to the Advertiser by the
hands of her daughter:
Editor Advertiser: On Thursday,
10th of March, there was a piece in
your paper where captain Weisbarth
says that he was turned down be-
cause he offered himself to go for the
schooner Z. Kennedy, as he is sure she
is lost. He came up to my house and
it seemed as if he had been drinking
too much, the way he came and spoke
to me. He said, Il have just come
up to tell you that you better go down
and see Captain N1black to send out
an expedition. as the schooner is sure
" piled up somewhere and l m the one
to go. - | said, 20, Captain / don t
think that the schooner is lost or any
thing is wrong, because they might
have bad weather. He said, ono!
they didn't have bad weather; if a
man doesn't get to Midway after thir-
ty days he ought to be ashamed of
himself Max SchIemmer is no navI-
gator anyway and | IN sure they are
piled up somewhere. That is all | came
to tell you You IL never see your
husband again. - | said, Captain, you
don't seem to know what you are talk
ing about, You seem to have been
drinking too much.
While I said this he was going down
the stairs and walked off.
/ think it is very shameful for a
man to come and speak to a wife of
her husband in such harsh way.
When my husband left, he told me
not to worry, as he would not risk any
dangers, for his schooner was not in
sured February icing very early
month when he left and it is very
rough there In that part of the year.
As he was first going to Laysan to get
a large boat as he said, it might have
been very rough so that he could not
land.
L have been staying at Laysan my
self many years and have seen some
very rough weather when ships could
not land for weeks. L am thinking
they are still safe and may arrive at
Midway any time.

THE ATKINSON CASE.

Without knowing all the circum
stances which had TO do with the Gov
ernor's tacit request for the resignation
of Superintendent Atkinson, this paper
feels itself safe in saying that fan
play has been more honored In the
breach than the observance.
Certain charges. to which Mr.. Atkin-
son had no chance TO reply, were made
AGAINST the conduct of his department
and his own conduct by a legislative
committee. The evidence" on which
some of the charges We're based came
from the testimony of Kalimahana (D
whom Representative Mahelona took
into a saloon and piled with liquor un-
til he signed statement implicatlng
the school authorities, statement
which he has since repudiated in an
affidavit. What other evidence there
may have been we do not know, but
we do know that Supt. Atkinson Was
not confronted with it, was not given
a show to clear himself and is held TO
be guilty without being afforded a
chance to prove himself innocent. It
is precisely the course which the polit-
zeal grafters who have been conspir-
ing for his job would like to have had
taken.
Furthermore a legislative committee
which is seeking more evidence in the
case has shut it's doors to press and
public and even to the Commissioners
of Public Instruction as appears else
where On this page. This inquisitorial
committee came very near excluding
the superintendent attorney. 1t is
impossible to say, therefore, how far
the Mahelona methods of rounding up
witnesses are still being employed.
The Advertiser feels called upon to
remind the Governor that the public of
Hawaii will not be satisfied to have
Mr.. Atkinson railroaded back to private
life nor stigmatized by ex-parte evil
DEAL which the Governor believes TO
be everybody's portion. He ought not
to be asked to resign under fire, nor to
put himself in any equivoca1 attitude.
AS matter of natural justice his right
to prove himself innocent before re-
cefving the penalty of guilt stands I'M
challenged at the bar of public opin
ion.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-03-18

Since the above was written Gov.
Carriers midnight statement was made.
The Governor says that he knows of
no charges against Mr.. Atkinson. I'm
der that head We must refer him to
the ex-parte Grand Jury report on the
basis of which the legislature began it's
inquiry, making the personal charges
which reappear in the record of yester-
days proceedings Charge one by the
House committee is as follows, it being
needless to recapitulate the rest:
Charges. 1. The Superintendent of
Public instruction has long maintained
a personal Indifference as to the proper
or improper performance, by teachers,
OF their duties, and takes little, if
any personal interest in their re-
sponsibilities and advancement. His
personal presence is an unknown fac
tor in the schools.
1t liz hard to consider these charges
and the subsequent request-or hint
for Mr.. Atkinson's resignation, as hav-
ing nothing to do with cause and effect.

THE STAR CHAMBER.

The ancient and accepted rite of So
called public investigation in Hawaii
is privacy. The Advertiser remembers
a few years back when it was not pos
sible to get a line on any transaction
of government except the Legislature
was on, often went into executive
session. Even such public matters as
the recording of deeds and mortga ges
was done sub-rosa. To cover up, to
conceal. to keep dark, these were the
principles upon which, for many years,
public business was done in Hawaii.
oftenest used in the dealing with mall
feasance in Office and letting the
criminal go.
Gradually things have improved. The
people are finding out more of what is
doing in public life; but at certain
times they are still excluded from the
spectators gallery, so binding is old
custom. There is an instance at once
in point. Yesterday the House Com
mittee on Public Expenditures brought
serious charges against the Depart
ment of Public Instruction; but coin
cident with this, when the people had
become aroused over the matter, a
kindred committee, the one charged
with the special inquiry, closed it's
doors to the press and the public. 1t
even excluded that vitality interested
body, the Commissioners of Public In
struction, who were compelled to ask
for publicity and for copies of the
charges, without getting either. Nor did
the Committee on Public Expenditures
give the accused parties a chance to be
heard nor did it inform them that anv
charges were laid against them. The
whole proceeding secret, black and
tees of the governments that are past.
The other committee even tried to ex-
clude the attorney of the accused and
to muzzle him. Tt is monstrous that
such thing could happen in a matter
concerning the public interests of this
Territory.
Open the doors and turn on the light!
That is the only thing to do with
the school investigation.
