Not Shown by Their Code OF Morals
! and Principles of Living.

who fancy the japanese are
a sort of heathenish nation should
study their code Of morals and their
principles OF living.
For instance, they have what is
known as the moral code. It is not a
Sunday Dr. a parade affair. They do
not forget it for six days and then
brush the dust Off it when the minis
ter comes to dinner on Sunday. Tie
code is a part Of the national life, and
here it Is:
Diligence in ones profession.
Love and loyalty between master
and servants.
Decorum and propriety.
Gallantry and bravery.
Tr~ustfulness and justice.
Simplicity and frugality.
Contempt of meanne5s.
The best thing in religion is Love
For il combines tenderness, charity,
compassion, courtesy, deeency, re-
Spect. It is a combination of ali the
virtues, and the Japs. have taken the
best thing and nodded it into their
life until the people have become art
lists, lovers of the beautiful. They re-
gard gardens as their choicest posses
sions, and believe that care for the
aged is a privilege instead of a duty.
1t was the emperor of this heather
land who commanded his soldiers 70
not only fight ~valiantly for their ma
tive land, but to love their enemies.
And the prisoners of Japan found
better treatment than their W homes
afforded. "
Professor Nitrobe says: What
Christianity has done in Europe to-
wards arousing compassion in the
midst Of belligerent horrors, love Of
music and letters has done in Japan"
Yes, the Japs are heather.
They are also as consistent Christ
ians as the world knows today, and
they live their religion in their daily
lives. "
Is there a greater test?-Atlanta

Lively Ffght Among Democrats for thu
Congressional Nominatfon.

Politics in the tenth congressional
district district was given an added in
terest yesterday in SO far a. the dem
ocratic congressional race is involved
when Ben Posey of Murphy, Cherokee
county, announced that he would be a
candidate before the democratic con-
gressional convention for nomination
TO succeed Representative J. NJ. Gudger,
Jr. The coming-out Of Mr.. Posey puts
four candidates in the field and the
situation has now become decidedly in
teresting.
Mr.. Posey is one of the best known
lawyers in the extreme western portion
of the state and there is little doubt
he will develop much strength in those
counties beyond the Balsam. Con-
gresham Gudger is still in the district
looking after his political fences and
will doubtless remain away from
Washington for several days. He is
doing some good work in Buncombe in
an effort to Offset the persistent effects
of Mr.. Crawford to capture votes DUR
ing the past several months, Mr..
Crawford has literally camped in Bun
combe since the campaign opened and
MIR. Gudger's friends and Mr.. Hewjtt's
friends aver that the Haywood county
man is evidently giving more attention
to Buncombe than he is to his home
county. ESQ ~. -----e --ss. ~rs.f 49,
Mr.. Hewitt's friends are claiming
Buncombe. They say that they are
going to have a plurality in Buncombe;
that the, contest between Crawford and
Gudger is working out just right for
their man. Mr.. Hewitt is strong IN

There was some little delay in get

Guthrie, of the counsel for Hodges,
stated that he thought me hundred

drawn, referring to publications in
newspapers, which he said had work

THE HAWAIIAN BAND is
PLAYING IN MONTANA

The Daily Missoulian has the follow
ing about a Hawaiian band concert.
The music set the editor thinking and
he has written a good promotion ar
ticle. which, with the band critique. is
appended. The Missodlian OF June 90
says:
The Royal Hawaiian Band pleased a
large audience last night at the Union
opera house. There may be better
bands than the islanders, but 1t is
doubtful If there is an organization
capable of giving any better entertain
ment. What made the biggest hit with
the crowd were the native songs. The
Hawaiian Glee Club was certainly the
goods. The vocalists would sing in
their soft Hawaiian speech of waving
palm trees and dancing waves and to
vary the numbers gave several. hula"
songs.
The average person had little notion
of what "hula" song was. but with
the rattle Of a banjo and the thrum-
| ming of a score of guitars, the audi
ence recognized an old friend in the
rag-time rhythm. Consequently the
crowd applauded until it was tired.
Rag-time in the kanaka tongue sounds
good and the musicians were not at
all averse to responding to the numer-
Gus encores
Miss Lei Lehua possesses an UNUSUAL
ly sweet soprano voice. Her tones are
as pure as those of Il flute and her
lower notes have a sympathetic ca
dence and excellent timbre. She sang
Hawaiian songs entirely. She was
dressed in white and wore the tradi-
tionai yellow garland about her neck.
She has an attractive personality and
her singing is decidedly artistic.
John S. Ellis sang several tenor solos
and also appeared in the glee club. He
possesses a strong voice and his sing
| ing was well received.
| AS q band the Hawaiian organiza-
ton is not as good as Sousa's or Ell
lery's Italian band for concert work.
| This is not because the musicians are
not capable, but because the brass in
struments predominant too largely.
Perhaps for outdoor playing the Ha-
waiian band would outshine the others
| The volume of sound was too great
for the theater.
Bandmaster Berger, who organized
the Hawaiian band 80 years ago, is a
capable leader. His Interpretation oil
the Tannhauser chorus was excellent.

ORIENTAL INSURANCE CO.
CAUSING SOME TROUBLE

ter were ]. p. Mccoy, whose scheme it
was. Frank Halstead, Chas. p. Grim
wood, Wong Chow, VIM. r, Castle,
Jr., and Wong Leong. The capital
stock was two hundred thousand dol
lars, which it WAS permitted to in
crease later to two millions. A lot
of local people went into the concern.
1t was a mutual company, and it was
to write its policies in Chinese and to
do business principally in China. The
company maintained offices in the
Stangenwald building, and it sent first
DIR. Sloggett and then DIR. Murray to
China to serve it in the capacity of
medical examiner.
Apparently, it did some business in
China, but nevertheless 1t failed and
when the new insurance law was pass
ed in October 1903, the Oriental failed
to come in under 1t. In fact, it has
been out of business for at least two
years. What the Chinese policy hold
ers will do about IT, remains to be seer
but the appeal to the state Depart
ment would indicate that some steps
are in contemplation.

were astonished and delighted with the
wonderful versatility of the Hawaiian
musicians. AS a musical organization
1t has few equals, and as a novelty can
hardly be surpassed. The appearance
of the musicians in their white uni
forms and their garlands of flowers
made those in the opera house wish to
learn more of the island possessions of
Uncle Sam, and the people that inhabit
them.
The history of Hawaii, so far as 1t
concerns white men. begins in the
middle of the sixteenth century, when
the islands were visited by Spanish
navjgators. Captain Cook was the first
Anglo-Saxon to see the islands and
history tells us that he spent several
weeks there in January, 177S. Twice
during that year he visited the group
and was later killed by the natives.
whom, it is said, he had betrayed. The
much-used name, Sandwich Islands,
was bestowed upon the group by Cap
tain Cook in honor of his friend and
patron, the Earl of Sandwich.
native chieftain whose name was
Kamehameha, and who is counted
great In Hawaiian history, came up
from the southern district of Hawaii
with an army and conquered the other
islands. This was in 1890 and while
Kamehameha was primarily a warrior
he also possessed considerable genius
for government. Lands were divided
among the people, political rights were
granted. a constitution was framed and
treaties were negotiated.
Missionaries of all creeds visited
Hawaii and foreign ideas were in
culcated In the minds of the people.
The successors of King Kamehameha
were counseled by Anglo-Saxons and
the monarchs found their advice help
full The line of succession was broken
in 1874 when David Kalakaua was
elected to the throne after the dea Oh
of Lunalilo. When Kalakaua died In
1891. his sister, Queen Liliuokalanl
ruled until the revolution in 1893, when
the monarchy was overthrown. This
prepared the way for the republic
which was established July 4, 1894
and which endured until the islands
were annexed by the United States
July I, 1898. After the annexation, Ha-
wall became a Territory of the United
States, with the general form of gov
eminent already existing in our insulaI
possessions.
The backbone Of the business and So
cial life of the islands is the Amert'
cans, although the population of the
capital city can be said to be cosmo
politan.

TWain'S prose poem.
