Thus saith an oracle. So a progress

A Republican. therefore, is pro-
gressive Democrat in disguise. He
thinks he is a Republican, but he is
not. He should work with the party
to which he really belongs. HE must

be all the more recognizable if he will

trouser leg in his boot and wisp of

if you wish to avoid being catalogued
a Republican by our friend. But we
fear the method of differentiation sug-
gested won't work. There are some
parts of the country where it is con-
sidered an insult to call a white man
Republican. Yet we do not say Re-
publicanism deserves to be under the
ban socially in that part of the coun-
try or anywhere else, when the men
who profess it are decent and law
abiding. We admit our contemporary
is correct in intimating, even in a

some of the brightest minds in the
country are Democratic, we cannot

all Democrats. We know the best
people in the country are Democrats,

advice is generally taken.
For many years there was great RI
valry between the Americans and Brit
ish as to which of their nations should
have the preponderant influence. The
United States was represented by the
missionaries, England by business men
and others. The strife was long and
bitter, and it is still manifest in the
scorn which certain people in Hawaii
can put into the sentence. Hes mis-
sionary." To be a missionary" In
Hawaii before the days of annexation
was not necessarily to be a preacher of
the gospel. A missionary" might be a
gambler. The word was used to desig-
nate that faction which insisted upon
American supremacy. The bitterest foe
the missionaries" had was the mis-
sionary bishop of the Church of Eng
land. All this has changed since an
nexation, but the line which defines the
missionaries" is still drawn quite
sharply. It may be mentioned that
practically all of the territorial officers
and a large majority of the leading
business men are missionaries" The
exceptions among citizens of wide in
fiuence are more often British or Ger
mans.
So far as politics is concerned, Ha-
wall is already Americanized. The task
now is to bring the industrial and So
cial life to the American standard and
to keep it there. The overwhelming
majority of Japanese and Chinese pop
ulation makes this task a difficult one.
The sacred fetish of business inter-
ests" is also in the way. The oncom-
ing of the vast numbers of Orientals
of Hawaiian birth who will be entitled
to vote Is danger which must be
faced.
The islands are under the business
rule Of King ,Jugar. Sugar Is tropi-
cal product which requires the expendi-
ture of great labor, and that labor
must be cheap. 1T also must be class
of labor which is content to remain IN
the cane fields at SIS n month for long
time, preferably for generations. 1t
was King Sugar who brought the Jap
anese and Chinese to the islands and
caused their economical GENERALIZATION.
Fing Sugar has also brought Portu-
guese and Spanish laborers who have
made good ant whose children are good
American citizens.
THE policy of the American party Is
to encourage the immigration to Ha-
wall of American farmers who viii
take Id small homesteads and become
citizens, to form a nucleus for mid
die class to stand between great King
Sugar and the semi-servile laborers of
the cane fields. "Small farming" is the
hobby of many of the best men in the
territory. But it must be admitted
that conditions are such as to make
this task extremely difficult. Hawaii
has good homestead lands. and 1t offers
opportunity for making money to the
hard working farmer But tropical
conditions are vastly different from
those which obtain in the great agri-
cultural districts of the United States,
and it is this difference that breeds
difficulties.

Atavistic Anthropojd

Andamans and Nicobarians are about
to become extinct races. They are pure
blooded stock and from them the whole
human race sprang. These statements
come from no less an eminent author
ity than the earnest student Of soclo-
logy who called last night.
I'VE should send an expedition to the
Andaman and Nicolas islands to study
these oldest Of people. They are iso-
lated. They contract no international
marriages, their racial purity survives
but the race is perishing. Only one
member of their community ever
strayed away. I met him at Newport
a few years ago. not at a dinner but
in an informal way. He was the most
interesting of the quadrumanns branch
of the simiadae. A season on the bor-
der of Narragansett bay proved disas-
trous. My friend showed distinct traces
of quick reversion to type; signs of
atavism outcropped. The habit of
overlooking tables and stomachs had a
deadly effect; cheek-pouches returned.
Champagne and cigarettes caused puff
finess of eyes. I lost sight of him and

CHILD LABOR

~ ONE of the advocates of child Ia
n Dor say the poor widow should be
~ permitted to devour her own Off
spring in her struggle for existence.
Others say the mills, with their splen-
did business management and sub
stantial resources and mechanical
equipment cannot live unless permit
ted to use the labor of tiny hands
Child labor is therefore excused by
economic necessities. Capital, under
certain conditions, will not employ
adults. Therefore, because of the at
titude of capital, child labor must be
excused. Is it possible that anyone
will be hoodwinked by this plea, which
is an exact equivalent of that other,
that the end justifies the means?
Because certain factories employ child
labor adult labor cannot be employed.
and because adults cannot find employ
ment their children must go to work
With this weak imitation of sound rea-
sons advocates of child labor try to
cajole the country into belief in its
necessity under certain conditions. 1t
is not necessary under any legitimate
conditions. Conditions which are sug-
gested apologetically, and which in
volve poor widow who depends on
the work of her children" should not
exist. If they prove anything it is not
the necessity for child labor but rather
the existence of a flaw in the social
system. If all people who are willing
to work could be reasonably certain Of
employment the apologists of child
labor would be down and out. 1t is a
serious reflection upon our social sys-
tenn that it tolerates and perpetuates
conditions which make apologies for
child labor possible, and indeed some
times plausible.

BENJAMIN N. SMITH

nY THE death of Judge B. n.
II Smith, Los Angeles has lost a
= most estimable citizen, the bench
a judge whose name was associated
with equity righteousness, the bar a
learned Jurist. Severe in manner some
times, but kind of heart at all times,
Judge Smith won the esteem of all
whose esteem was worth the having.
He was true type of the best citizen,
upright, honorable, with keen sense
of conscience, and therefore constant
consciousness of responsibility to his
fellowmen- and his God. A man of
such a character, so sterling and at
the same time so well developed and
added to such experience combined
with such erudition and experience as
were his was an .eal judge and an
ideal citizen, expressions which cpl
tomize all that might be said of him.

FRIGID SCOTS

!" TRAVERS JEROME'S English
w cousin, Winston Churchill, is
making a record in England
for whirlwind campaigning. But that
is the Jerome style. In Scotland, too,
the bright young British-American has

woke the cannie and discriminating
Scots to genuine enthusiasm is "a Won

fish orator with a great reputation in
vading Caledonia, we are reminded of
the fate of the celebrated English ac-
tress who, on her first appearance be-
fore a Scottish audience, nearly
played herself into a fit" in the en-
deavor to warm up the house." After
her climactic effort she paused. There

part of the gallery came the coldly
critical voice of a Scottish god" say

Here is a question for Republican
spellbinders. Why is the tide of immi-
grafton on the turn. nay, why is 1t
flowing the wrong way, until along the
Canadian border it is literally emigra-
ton and not immigration. if the united
prosperity so abounds in the United
States that Republican spellbind-
ing oratory is itself spellbound at
thought of its vastness? People don't
run away from country in which
comforts, plenty and riches are heaped
on their willing heads. Why are they
running away from America? Why
