needs of enterprising American farm
ers, which are now unoccupied by any
tillage, and are capable of handsomely
supporting twenty civilized families
to the square mile. Very little of this
land, however, is at present open for
purchase, being in good demand for
sheep and cattle pasturage. The larger
half of such lands are subject to pri-
vate ownership, and much of the rest
is held in long leases from the govern
ment. As such leases fall in, it is
understood to have become the policy
of the Territorial government to put
homesteads upon the market at moder-
ate prices to desirable American set
lers. 1t is also to be expected that
some landowners will exercise a gem
erous policy toward such settlers.
There are also in the hands of the
large sugar estates many excellent
tracts of the lower lands, which would,
from fertility and climate, be very
desirable for farmers. From these
owners also generous policy is de-
much ground for anticipating large
addition to our American rural popu-
lation during the next decade or two,
such an addition as should establish
our American character upon a solid
basis.
Leading indications, however, of the
near future point to a very different
source of change in the status of Ha-
waii. The early future of these is
lands seems likely to become over
whelmingly commercial rather than
agricultural. Being the central cross
roads of the North Pacific, all the great
commercial routes of this ocean seem
necessitated to converge here. Great
steamer lines must very soon cross the
Pacific from Panama to the Orient,
carrying traffic which will outdo that
now crossing the Atlantic. Honolulu
lies midway exactly in the path of
that colossal traffic route which is
nearly 10000 miles from Panama to
Hongkong. Many large freight steam
ers daily must call here to replenish
their fuel supply. Both Pearl Harbor
and Honolulu will become crowded
with those freighters and fuel supply
ships. They will in few years be-
come large commercial cities.
here will call for food supplies from II
teeming back country of busy and pros
porous farmers. The agricultural re-
sources, not only of Oahu, but of all
the islands, will be heavily drawn up
on, and capable American farmers will
flock here for profitable employment.
One may well anticipate that not many
years hence the twenty-five thousand
acres of crowded cane fields along our
Oahu shores will have disappeared and
given place to produce farms. And
the mighty pumps which drive two
hundred million gallons of artesian
water daily over the broad fields will
nourish the tillage of thousand pro
duce farmers instead.
Hawaii may, therefore, well be re-
garded as now only iu embryo, A pop
ulous, busy and wealthy State looms up
in front Of us as dwelling here in an
other generation. This new and giant
future Of Hawaii needs TO be well pro-
yided for now, economically, socially
and spiritually, America should at
once diligently fortify Hawaii, not on
ly strategieally, but In all respects.
llawail's early destiny is TO be the
great Headlight of Amerieanism and
Christianity in the midi acihe,
Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands.

1t is thus apparent that over one
half of our population mainly of the
laboring class, are Asiatic, and prac-
tically incapable of assimilating to
American ideals, although of great
ability and practical capacity. Their
sympathies and ideals are quite un-
likely to become converted to an Amer
lean type.
The Portuguese immigrants, although
illiternte, are superior laboring class,
of great intelligence and of Christian
ethical ideals, especially as to sexual
morals. They readily incline to Amer
icanization, and will make valuable
American citizens. They tend to rapid
increase, both by immigration and by
great natural fecundity. But ther, is
needed n considerable rural population
of genuine American character, to be
in close contact with these Portuguese,
in order to mold them into the right
shape.
II becomes increasingly evident that,
for the, maintenance and progress of
healthy Americanism, Hawaii requires
q large influx Of American farmers.
We need the creation OF n large num-
ber Of rural American communities
throughout our islands. OF farming
communities Of such character we
have as yet only one Of any size.

~ is hy no accident that Hawaii has

Union, although it is not a result Of
definite human design working for that
specific end. II has rather been the
result Of a very marked Divine Proyl.
deaco. marshaling potent Influences in
succession. The process began with
the wonderfully prosperous effort, com.
menced in 1890 by American mission
aries, 10 Christianizo the Hawaiian
pagnns. That work rapidly prevailed
under the marvellous nourishing of the
Divine Spirit, and in thirty years had
transformed the ignorant barbarians in
to Christian nation, with a liberal
constitutional government, n we'll
tional system. The missionaries were
Americans, and impaired an American
tone to the new Hawaiian institutions.
They naturally attracted to themselves
other Americans of ability and similar
character and sentiment. The sudden
growth of an American State in the
neighboring California then arose to
confirm Hawaii's American tendencies.
The American dominant community
thus grew up, and has gradually shaped
everything in commercial, political, so
cial and religious life to the Amer
lean type and tone. So now, after near
ly ninety years of this progressive
work, you find, flung far out here in
the mid-Pacific, strong American
community dominant in Hawaii, and
shaping everything here to its own
form and likeness.
And yet it can not be confidently as
serted that this dominance of Amer
icanism is wholly out of danger from
internal tendencies. 1t rules supreme
in all the upper strata of the social
system. But it still lacks what is so
very needful-a cooperative support
from the majority of the laboring class
es and from rural communities. I'm
fortunately, those classes and com
munities are largely Asiatic and alien
to European and American origin. In

AGED FARMER INSANE.
John Carnahan Thinks Strange Be-
ings Are Following Him.


John Carnahan, an elderly man
he is nearing the seventies in years
was placed on trial in the probate
court at two O'Clock this afternoon on
a charge of insanity preferred against
him by his wife and neighbors and
relatives Mr.. Carnahan has lived
with his wife and family in the vicin-
ity of Berryton for more than twenty
years.
His mind seems to have failed him
during the last few months and he is
sufferer from rather peculiar hal
fluctuations for a man who has passed
many years of his life on farm. 1t
was only few weeks ago that he
appeared in person at the county court
house and asked for some sort of pro-
lection from supposed extraordinary
beings which he insisted were follow
ing him. He classed these beings as
being human but without feet and
hands, which members came to a
point and were represented by corn
husks. He insisted that these indi-
viduals wore nothing but corn shucks
for clothes. 1t was thought at this
time that perhaps the old man was
suffering from intense heat, but his
wife who came with him on that occa-
sion told of terrible drive he had
made with his horse to escape from
these imaginary people whom he
thought were following him. He said,
himself, that he just beat them to
town by a nose.
Carnahan was not restrained at this
time because he seemed to be perfectly
rational except for these hallunications
that these unusal ogres were following
him,

PASSED BAD CHECKS.
Edward NJ. Ruffner Is Given Thirty
Day Jail Sentence. -.

Edward NJ. Ruffner of Hoyt, Jack
son county, pleaded guilty today in the
court of Topeka to a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenseS
through worthless check for SIS
which he got n. H. Wolf. the tailor. to
cash for him. Judge Simon sentenced
Ruffner to Imprisonment in the county
Jail for thirty days and to pay a fine
of SIS and the costs of the action, and
to stand committed to jail beyond the
thirty days Imprisonment until this
fine and costs are satisfied.
A warrant was sworn out for Ruff
ner's arrest on this charge on Au-
gust 8. 1t was not executed until yes
terday because it was thought that
Ruffner might have some explanation
to make concerning the check which
turned out to be bogus. He ignored let
tiers from county officials as to whether
he had any such explanations to make
and the result was that he was taken
into custody at Hoyt yesterday and
lodged in the county jail last night.

HOME GROWN ROCKY FoRDs.
Shawnee County Farmer Produces
Finest Quality of CantaIoupes.

t1neSt Quallty OF CantalOupeS.
Topeka will soon have an abundant
supply of Rocky Ford cantaloupes and
many of them will be the product Of
the soil of Shawnee county and of
quality that will battle the experts who
think that they know a melon grown
in Rocky Ford no matter where they
see it. w F. Niccum. who owns a
farm two miles east of Tecumseh, has
twelve acres of melons grown from
seed brought directly from Rocky Ford
and the melons so far marketed are OF
the finest flavor.
The melons began ripening about
two weeks ago though the field VIII
NOT he at the height of its yield for
another two weeks. At the present
time Mr.. Niccum is marketing about
75 dozen melons daily and the num-
her of melons ripening daily is increas-
ing at a rapid rate and by the end
of next week he expects to be able to
place double this number of melons on
the market every twenty-four hours.
"I have been unable to supply the
demand so far said Mr.. Niccum this
morning, but the patch has just COM
menced to ripen nicely and within a
few weeks 1 can supply a big demand
for Rocky Ford melons. and 1 am
willing to guarantee that they are Of
as fine flavor as any melon ever
brought from Colorado, or any other
place for that matter. 1 had a little
hard luck to start with. as the late
freezes caught my first planting, and
I had to reseed. but the prospect at
this time Is the finest. and do not
begruudge the extra work that was
necessary.

GERMANY NOT ALARMED
Statement Issued Regarding the Visit
- 80 of CaInbon.

Berlin. Aug. 24.-German officials
deprecate the idea that the visit of
the French ambassador. Jules Cam
bon. to Chancellor Won Buelow at
Nordeny today was occasioned by de-
velopments in Morocco and that Won
Buelow's invitation to him means that
Germany is disquieted over the Casa
Blanca incidents. Officials here say
the visit is. due to the wish expressed
in July by NJ. Cambon to see Prince
Won Buelow whose other engagements
prevented an earlier invitation,
While the fighting at Casa Blanca
has not caused the meeting of the two
statesmen at Nordeny. they will talk
over the Moroccan situation. This
does not mean, however, that Germany
is seeking any special arrang ements
with France This is impossible in
view of the terms of the AlgeciraS
convention which remain intact, Ger
many thus far sees no occasion to de-
part from her previous policy of yield
ing to France and Spain the right to
establish order in Morocco.

NO MEAT FAMINE.
Packers Make Deliveries Under Guard
of Police.

New York, Aug. 24.-There is no danger
of meat famine in this city because Of
the strike of the drivers of delivery wag-
ons of the big meat packing companies
according to statement made today by
VIM. H. Noyes, chairman of the employ
ers' committee. Mr.. Noyes said that
practically all of the firms affected by
the strike were moving their teams and
delivering meat today under the escort of
mounted police and that the packers had
comparatively full complement of men
for a dull day. Notwithstanding this
some of the consumers continued to send
their own wagons TO the packing houses
for their supply Of meat. One of the
most serious clashes today between the
strikers and breakers occurred at Third
avenue and East Forty-second street,
when Jacob. Handei,ta. strike breaker, was
dragged from his wagon and into a sa-
loon, where. he alleged four men beat
him until he drew a. revolver and began
to shoot. James Dowling, one of the strik-
ers, was arrested, charged with commit
ting the assault on Handel He admitted
that he did it and was held in Jail for
bail Handel was also held on charge
of carrying concealed weapons.
