BEER AS A CIVILIZER.

Great times are ahead in China. A
number of Honolulu capitalists are
looking over the ground, with view
of establishing a brewery at Hong
kong. If there is any element of civil
cation that China mas lacked, it is
beer. Think of a country where one
can not go out of an evening and
rush the cant To be sure, some bot
tied beer has been sent to China. But
it is insipid compared to the creamy
stuff right out of the barrel. AS soon
as that brewery gets well under way,
little Jim Sing, son of Sing Jim, will
be able to run down to the corner, a
cloisonne pitcher in one hand, bushei
of perforated copper coins in the other,
and bring back beaker of foamy
liquid that will create joy in the family
and fights and divorces and neigh
borhood rows. Friendships will be pro-
NOTED. Instead of afternoon teas. the
wives of the common people of China
can have beer-fests, and the men can
gather at the corner groceries of even
ings and talk politics as they tell the
barkeeper to fill 'em up again sharp,
and not so much collar on it. You
can stay the march of civilization

lations between Hawaii and Portland;
Expansion of Portland direct trade
with the Hawaiian Islands. as well as
maintenance of the new steamship line
to Honolulu, is being materially en-
couraged by the attitude of the Homo
lulu papers The Commercial Adver-
tiser. in a very ffattering editorial on
the arrival of the last steamer from
Portland predicts that the new rela-
ticns between Portland and the Ha-
waiian ports will be perpetual, and
points ont the possibilities for opening
up a new market for Hawaiian fruits
and other products, and welcomes the
opportunity TO get from first hands
the products of farm, forest and or
chard out of that vast region, which
they have been getting at second hand
through San Francisco. with the GER
tain enhancement of cost from the in
termediate landings and trans-ship-
ments.''
The Advertiser also expresses belief
that a considerable amount of sugar
will find distributing channels in the
Pacific Northwest, now that direct COM
municat1on is established. 1t is graft
flying to witness such an exhibition of
good feeling on the part of our island
friends, and it augurs we'll for steady
growth of new business with this re-
discovered trade field, which was Gull
tivated by Portland nearly half CEN
fury ago. The stress of modern COM
petition is so great that there is an
eEer-increasing tendency to eliminate
all unnecessary cost in bringing the
producer and the consumer together in
an Interchange of products. This is the
pre-eminent factor in guaranteeing
permanency of the new line between
Portland and Honolulu.

OREGON APPRECIATES
HAWAlpS GLAD HAND

1t is decidedly advantageous to Port
land and the tributary territory to Sc
cure BY the most direct route from
first hands island sugar, fruits, to-
bacco. fiber, rubber, ETC., and it is
equally to the profit and advantage of
the islanders to secure Oregon prod
Ucts direct from oregon instead of by
roundabout route where tranS-ship-
ment and an extra middleman's COM
mission increase The cost and delay
the time of delivery. The Hawaiian
Islands. like every other possession
over which the American flag is float
ing today. are increasing in population,
and there is a corresponding increase
in the development of the natural re-
sources of the country. San Francisco
will lose but little if any of the trade
she has for so long enjoyed with the is
lands, but the natural growth and de-
velopment will supply an increasing
volume sufficient to maintain a first
class line between Portland and Homo
lulu. 1t was not two decades ago that
practically all Oriental business out of
Pacific Coast ports was handled by
San Francisco, and nearly all flour
shipped to the Far East from Oregon
the Bay City
Today both Portland and Puget
Sound are shipping enormous quanti-
ties of flour, lumber and all other
classes of freight direct to the Orient.
and at the same time San Francisco's
business with the Far East is greater
than it ever was. 1t is laudable am
bition for every port on the Pacific
Coast to desire to handle all of the
bushes that can possibly be secured
in legitimate manner. but it will
never again be possible for any one
port. or any two ports, along the thou
sand miles of shore line in California,
Oregon and Washington. TO enjoy a
monopoly of the business. For that
reason. as we'll as others cited. Port
lands line to Honolulu is destined to
become a permanent fixture.

MANANA AND ALOHA.


have no great love for hard manual
labor, such as is required in the cane
fields and they, too, are too few IN
numbers.
Practically the only labor left, then,
is japanese. 1t may be admitted with
out question that this is far from
satisfactory In Hawaii, as it has proved
to be everywhere else. But it is the
best that can be obtained, and the Ha-
waiian sugar planters are glad enough
to get 1t.
But there is not enough of it, and
it can not be depended upon. Com
paratively large numbers of japanese
come to the islands, but they do not
remain. After a year or two the ma
iority of them go to the mainland,
where they think they can make more
money. They are always coming and
going. and in the meantime the wages
paid to labor in Hawaii remains high,
compared to those paid in Cuba.
Hawaii's opposition to Cuban an
nexation is somewhat pathetic in that
it is so helpless. What Hawaii can do
in the matter is so little. Whether Gu
ba is or is not to be annexed depends
not upon Hawaii. the country most at
fected, but upon the United States
Hawaii is only territory, and as such
has no representation IN congress,
aside from one delegate, who has no
vote. And altruism is not a prominent
feature around the Congressional halls.
To obtain favors one needs to be able
to return them-ancl what can the one
lone delegate from the Pacific Islands
do for those Senators and Representa-
tives whose votes he must influence If
he would prevent the prospective disas-
ter to his country?
Yet the sugar planters of Cuba can
not be blamed for desiring annexation.
They are doing only what the planters
of Hawaii die, not many years ago.
1t is purely a matter of personal in
terest, and every man may reasonably
be expected to favor those measures
which tend to help him most.
Meantime, Hawaii waits in helpless
anxiety for what action the people of
the United States may ultimately re-
solve upon taking.-E. P. l. in S. f.

CHIPS OF THE OLD BLADE.

He rejoiced in the not very humorous
name of Wood. and he prided himself
on his jokes and smart repartee. Few
of his friends had escaped the lash of
his tongue, and he had victimized many
by his practical jokes-in fact, he never
lost an opportunity of being funny.
One day he met a friend whose name
was Stone. and naturally a name like
that was too good a chance to miss.
Good morning, Mr.. Stone" he said,

GALL STONES.

Man looks at the world through col.
ored glasses. Most of us like to be.
lieve that we can see things pretty
nearly as they really are for to that
Is the true aim of fairness. but as a
matter of fact it is rare person in
this world who actually does get a
fair and square view of everything he
! looks at.
During the past couple of years cir
cumstances of one sort and another
have brought to light the fact that
there are a considerable number of
people in Norfolk afflicted with gall
stones. One case has been the means
of bringing to notice another, and
thus the chain of gladstone patients
has been increased in the public eve
until it seemed that every tenth per-
son or so was victim of this ailment,
which had not until recently been
heard much of.
The result was that Norfolk began
to believe II was especially afflicted in
this regard and rumor crept around
the town to the effect that some sur
geon or other somewhere had declared
that more gladstone cases originated
at Norfolk than anywhere else OF it's
size that he knew Of The fable was
given credence by many because of
the gladstone atmosphere hereabouts,
and they began to hunt around for a
cause, finally lighting upon the city
water, figuring it out that there was
more lime in Norfolk's water supply
than there ought to be.
The absurdity of it all is shown by
the fact that within the past few years
Mayo brothers. two surgeons at Ro-
chester, Mimi, have themselves per-
formed no less than 1900 operations
upon persons from all parts of the
world for gallstones.
And 1t is a further we'll known and
well established fact that the quality
of Norfolk's city water is hard to beat
anywhere.
And so we find Norfolk, after all,
merely swimming along in the same
gallstone-pond in which all of the rest
of the wide world is bathing, and the
distinction which we thought we had
had thrust upon us, has melted away.
1t simply serves as a striking exam.
pie of looking at the world through
spectacles made with local-condition
lenses. The same rule applies to
everything else on earth, as we'll as
gallstones. 1t applies to sugar tariff
and to church creeds and to opinions,
good or bad, about our neighbors.
And the man who can take off these
colored glasses and look out over the
world with clear eye and a true
sight, getting an honest and genuine
view Of things as they actually and
really are, is the man who stands out
pre-eminently fitted either to chronicle
history or TO make it.
