Here, then, remains the question OF
Hawails fate. One extract from Mr..
DoLR's published statement may be
examined with profit:
Here are a lew tropical islands In the mid
Pacific that we're exceedingly prosperous until
Chinese were barred out, the value Of whose ex-
ports was greater in proportion TO the population
than that Of any other country on earth; that spent
millions OF dollars every year for the products OF
American labor. that furnished . livelihood for
thousands Of white people within their own Dor
ders-As high a grade of men and women 40 can be
found Anywhere-And without Oriental labor these
Islands would have been Of little value to their lnhabi-
tsnts and Of novalus 70 American working

indeed the whole Pacific Slope, II the
land owners and wage payers were APP
pealed to, would decide with practical
unanimity against that law. Perhaps

Renee OF other patrons OF the N. Y. N. II. q X.

OF this kind.
In the first place a passenger In not compelled 70

The laws of both New York and Connecticut are
explicit IN this respect. and court decisions have
upheld them In each State. A conductor may
make n unpleasant for the passenger who refuses
TO surrender the ticket, but n the passenger has
SUFFICIENT nerve TO stand his ground. the conductor
Is not likely TO attempt an ejcctment-the road
would be mulcted in heavy damages IN such q case,
and the New Haven road is not oversnxious 70 go
before q jury.
For the passenger who Is willing TO submit TO the
rules OF the company for the sake Of peace there Is
sn easier and on the whole quite a. safe a way OF
protecting himself against imposition. n one will
sign his name on the hack OF the ticket and make
a memorandum of It's number, Identification ID

Rating Racing Yachts

The word has been passed in the New
York Yacht Club to look out for squalls.
It is said that a vigorous attack IL to be
made on the new rating rule, which Yves
adopted after much tribulation. The
advocates Of the rule held that It would
do away with the freakish type Of craft
which exuded abnormal overhangs for
ward and aft. The opponents OF the
rule admit that it did this, but declare
Il produced another style of freak. The
purpose Of the new rule was to put a
premium on displacement and thus pro-
duce a sound and wholesome type OF
Yacht, At to hold the sea in all conditions
Of weather.
It has been the general belief that this
end was accomplished, and that such
yachts as Queen and Effort were sue
cessful demonstrations of the worth of
the new method Of rating nautical racers.
The opponents OF the new rule hold that
these yachts are successful only on the
comparatively quiet waters Of Long
Island Sound, and that in any sea of
Sandy Hook they would prove to be
heavy pitchers.
The best way to settle that point would
be to race the new craft in a stiff breeze
and a rolling sea on the open ocean.
The activity Of the opponents Of the rule
has largely increased since Sir THOMAS
Upton expressed a desire to race under
1t for the Americas cpp. The Reliance
would not meet the conditions OF the new
rule, and no one appears 10 DO anxious to
build a new defender.
II It be demonstrated that yachts built
under the rule are, Al the opposition
declares, b~enefiting by II in the matter
Of rating at the expense Of smaller craft,
then a more stringent rule will have "a
be devised. 1t is safe 10 say that II the
new rule is supplanted by another de-
signers will find some way to profit by
the latest restrictions. That Is one OF
the things which yacht designers pride
themselves on doing.

financial ruin Of the Brooklyn Lberator,

CoLRR. He would have the city refuse
to pay the private telephone bills Of Mr..
CoLER and force that most eminent Of
municipal reformers to meet the post Of
his long distance conversations himself.
Mr.. CoLER il so built that uninter-
rupted talk il necessary to the preserya-
ton OF his health. Silence for him Is q
poison, and no antidote for It has ever
been found. Talk he must, or dwindle,
peak and pine. No private fortune, no
matter how great 1t is, could meet the
cost Of his telephoning. He employs
and clogs all the wires at all hours Of
the day and night. The company's bills
for his service are 80 large that they are
not sent by mail, but are delivered by
specially employed truckmen, who han
die them as structural iron is handled In
transit. Only a corporation OF limitless
resources, like the city Of New York,
could afford 9 o pay these bills, and the
strain to which they have subjected the
city treasury Is reflected in the falling
prices OF the towns bonds.
II the city will not pay the bills IL Ia
certain that Mr.. CoLER cannot. De-
prived Of the telephone, he must inevi-
tably suffer from suppressed converse
ton. To Mr.. CoLRR that would be fatal.

I'm the Second Maine District.

The voters Of the Second Maine Con-
aress district must choose between the
good opinion of Representative CHARLES
L. L~RrrLEFIELD held by President RoosE-
WELT Of the United States and the bad
opinion passed upon him by President
GoMPERs of the American Federation Of
Labor. One Of these presidents must be
IN error about the legislative services and
the personal character Of Mr.. LITTLE
FIELD. One Of them must be wrong
about the duty Of the voters Of the Sec
Ond district on election day.
Neither president was entirely salts
fed with Mr.. LITTLEFIELD's attitude
toward proposed legislation at the last
session Of Congress, but there was this
difference: the President Of the United
States respected Mr.. LT%rTLEFIELD for
his Independence and gave him credit
for honesty Of purpose, and the president
Of the American Federation Of Labor
hated Mr.. LITTLEFIEID for his indie
pendenoe and impugned his motives.
In spite Of the fact that Mr.. LITTLE
YIELD, to use Secretary TAFT's language,
Ssometimes has not favored measures
which the Administration hoped might
haas" the President of the United States
wants TO see Mr.. L~IrTLEFIELD reelected;
and because Of the fact that Mr.. LITTLE
YIELD opposed legislation desired by
organized labor President GoMPERs OF
the American Federation wants to see
him defeated at the polls,
The President OF the United States has
mot in so many words advocated the
reelection of Mr.. L1TTLEFIELD, but Sec
rotary TAFT must know what the Pres
ident thinks OF the conspiracy to dis
credit and undo the courageous repre-
sentative Of the Second Maine district
when he, the Secretary, takes the re-
sponsibility Of saying to Mr.. LITTLE
YIELDS neighbors:
Nothing could be further from the truth than
shAt the Administration would be gratined by hfs

InhospitabI, Chin.se .Ialler.

From the NorfA China Ners.
When che Chinese day wa.chman at the American
Consulate went his rounds yesterday morning he
discovered that one OF the cells that should have
contained . prisoner was empty. Door and win
dow were intact. and there was no sign to show
how the occupant of the cello. s. Buttrick-hAd
effected his escape. Buttrick was serving a sen
tence OF three years imprisonment on a charge
OF embeEklement. which was heard az Tientsin.
The night watchman, who was at nrst suspected
OF conntvancc In the escape, returned to his post
at p. NJ. A. usual. He told a perfectly straight
forward story. He came on duty, he said. as usual.
at 7 O'Clock the preceding evening. Buttrick was
then out for his daily walk. but returning at about
. N. called for . tansan and then retired to his
cell. The Waterman saw nothing more of him.
and when he left az 7 A. N. he placed the keys. as
usual, on q table where the day Waterman would
know where TO md them.
Another version h that when Buttrick returned
from his evening walk he was unable to get into
the Consulate. He Knocked and rang for some
time without any response. and finally. In high
dudgeon AZ the inhospitallty Of the Consulate. vent

adds that he would not be surprised II Buttrick
turned UP to-day TO lodge 9 complaint against the

Horses and the Automobile.

Any traveller on the Albany post road
between this city and Catskill, at any
point Of which from ten TO fifteen auto
mobiles pass In an hour In these months
when the touring car Ii overworked, il
aware that the horses along this route
have mastered distrust Of their COM
petitor. II Ia rare that the Hudson River
horse now pays the slightest attention
to these uncanny monsters as they
whiz past him at twenty miles an hour.
even on the too numerous stretches OF
the road that are very narrow. Famil-
iarity with the road machines has fos-
tered contempt, and the farmers, as well
as their horses, are enjoying life again.
On a bicycle journey along 100 miles Of
this road last week not a horse was Q
that showed the slightest interest In the
automobile.
Things are different on the roads away
from the main th~oroughfaree OF the Cats
kills, where a stray automobile may be
seen only once a week. II the farmers
team is OF the right temperament his
troubles are soon over, for easygoing
horses soon become habituated 70 the
new conveyance, but there are plenty Of
horses that the farmer will no longer
drive single for fear Of a few minutes Of
very unpleasant experience. Most auto
mobilists are very considerable and care
fully obey the requirements Of the law.
The agricultural press has expressed
fully the complaints of those rural COM
munities that have not easily adapted
themselves to the changed conditions;
and It is a good sign that these murmurs
are now coming from much smaller
districts and are confined almost wholly
to regions that the automobile Is Just
beginning TO invade. The farmers rec
ognize the fact that the machine has
come to stay, and find that most Of their
horses soon learn to tolerate its peculiar
music and appearance.
