What He Saw At
KiIauea

Mr.. c. L. La Rue Of Sacramento,
California, who has travelled exten.
sively around the world, returned
from Hawaii by the S. s. "Mauna
Loa" Tuesday Of this week; in an in.
terview he said:
Yes, | have just been to the Vol
cano. Was it worth while? Well!
should think so; it was worth 60
ing around the world to see; would
not have missed it for any consider
ance which cannot be described; 1t is
SO awfully fascinating that one can
hardly leave 1t. II my business
would have permitted, would have
remained there week. The wonder
to me is that your Honolulu people
do not make more Of 1t; they can't
iealize the extent of the present ac-
tivity; | understand that hundreds OF
people went up to see the flow of
1907, and that it was not n bit more
attractive than Kilauea is at the pres
ent time"
Everybody returns from the VOL
cano with the same enthusiasm, and
yet Honolulu has not awakened to
the fact that great eruption is tax.
ing place within twenty.four hours
travel of her gates.

LEADERS FROM RANKS OF
THE WORKERS.

In following the personal sketches
of japanese who have gained leading
positions in the business and pro-
fessional life of Hawaii, readers of
the Bull letin have no doubt no.
ticed that quite proportion came to
the Islands as contract laborers. Pos-
sessed of ambition and good brain,
they forged ahead.
Here we have ancient and honor
able American history repeated, as 1t
has been in the case of the Chinese.
1t is the same situation as exists
throughout the mainland with men
of other races and other nationali-
ties. They have come to the front,
have grown, developed and expanded
under the influence of opportunity
and freedom of action as found in
America. The fact that the start was
made by doing the most mental labor
does not prevent them going ahead.
In America, the workers win.
Populate any town, city, County,
Territory. or State with prepondcr-
ance of one class of workers, and as
sure as the rising and setting of the
sun the leaders will sooner or later
be found among those who have
worked their way up"
AS well try to hatch ROSTERS from
duck eggs as to expect any other re-
suit.
Contract labor or no contract In
Dor, citizen labor laws or no citizen
labor laws, the eventual dominating
citizens in any section of our country
will spring from the loins of the peo
pie who are performing the labor o.
the industries from which the meas
ure of community prosperity IL
drawn.

THE VICTORY Won.

The victory is won, after fifty
years struggle.
authorization by Congress of 49,
100000. for the Improvement oil
Pearl Halbor and the establishment
OF a naval station in that harbor
means that the future of that mag
niacent port is no longer in doubt.
The beginning made, the progress
OF events in the Pacific Will do the
rest.
Once that harbor is opened, once
,ha appropriations are started that
viii enable the engineers to proceed,
fncra will be no stopping the work.
While congratulating everybody
who has worked with patriotic fer
yor in the cause of Pearl Harbor, II
is proper to recognize this as crown
ing success of the service Of Delegate
Kuhio.
No appropriation that has been
passed by Congress in recent years
has been fraught with such great
promise lot tHe hCl'aSihs PO"N' "
America in the Pacific as this.
Pearl Harbor, developed, will ac'
commodate a naval force of sufficient
size to amply protect the Pacih'
Coast. 1t will also furnish space fol
the great fleets of commerce that will
pass from the West Coast to thu
orient and for the great trans-Pacifi
traders that will pass through tn
Panama Canal.
The future is no brighter for Ha
wall than for the Nation, by reasol
of the passage of the Pearl Harbo
bill.

PEARL HARBOR WORK
CONTINUED from Page "

neously, or first one and then the
other will be completed.
The question as TO the appropria-
ton is rs to whether 1t is straight
appropriation of the amount OF 3d.
100, 900. or whether the bill as pass
ed authorizes work to be done to that
amount, the actual appropriations to
follow in Jumps later, as was the
case with some other Government
work done in these Islands.
At all events, 1t is not probable as
matters stand that the full allow
ance for the dredging work as stated
in estimates made was allowed. The
engineers in this place, 1t will be re-
membered, placed the estimates for
this work at about two and half
million dollars, and the original al
lowance made was only $65O.OO0.
Assuming that part of the appro-
priation as cabled is for the dry
docks, the two and Il half millions
for the opening of the channel could
hardly have all been allowed.
Captain Rees, commandant at the
naval station, said this morning that
he had not sufficient information to
make a. statement in regard to the
matter and did not know when work
would be begun, how 1t would be be-
gun, or anything of the sort.
However, 1t is probable that the
construction of the dry dock and
! other work will be in charge of a
naval construction man, who will be
sent here for that purpose. 1t is just
possible that the naval men will call
on the engineering department to do
| the dredging work, but this Is mat
| ter which will have to be settled In
Washington.
Some of the work will doubtless DO
done by contract, even If the big jobs
will be directly in charge, probably,
of the Government naval construc-
ton man.
At all events, the Pearl Harbor
work is authorized, and work must
soon begin, bids be opened, contracts
for construction let, and things set
moving alta fast lick.
The woA win extend, in all prob
ability, over a term of years, so that
several Congresses will have a try at
the appropriation part of it. This is
one of the reasons. for thinking that
this Congress may be planning to
hand the appropriation out in pieces.
In connection with the message an
nouncing that this appropriation had
passed, another was received, an
nouncing. Lhe appropriation of $751;
900. for n light on Kauai, either on
kilauea Point, or such other place as
may be determined, the latitude be.
Ing allowed, as 1t is possible that the
place for the light may be fixed or
rs Mana, on the other side of the
Island from, Kilauea. Some of The
vessels sailing near Kauai come IL
between Niihau and Oahu, but other!
go to the windward of the Island
and for this reason 1t is an oper
question as to where the light Il
most needed.

WHO ARE THE GRAFItRS

Henry Vida states that the Adver-
tiser refused to publish the follow
ing communication: .
Editor ertiser:--Referring to
an article on graft In the editorial
column of the Advertiser of today's
issue in which it states, "The public
will remember that, when the new
police came into office, the present
Board of Supervisors interfered to
keep Iaukea from discharging all the
old force. 1t demanded that large
number of Observation-Disclosures
men-should be kept on the rolls"
Now, Mr.. Editor, will you kindly
inform the public in your issue OF
tomorrow who these grafters are and
If any of them are the so-called
Brown-Vida men, who are employed
by laukea today.

The band-wagon policy is Nigh
ty poor one in the long run, and
sooner or later Hawaii will find 1t
true. The proposal to withhold en-
dorsements, for candidates until the
way the cat will jump has been de-
termined is weak and cowardly, and
the Democrats of Hawaii who vote
in favor of such course will as pos
itively put a price on their votes as
they would by declaring that the

The best way to check anarchy is

WHAT TAG DAY MEANS.

Those Who Don't Know Will Hear
Much Of il the Coming Week.
Those who are not yet familiar with
Tag Day and what it means are likely
TO hear much about it the coming week.
Saturday September Goth, has been de-
cided upon as Tag Day and the Ladies
Auxiliary of Minquadale Home are
sparing no effort to acquaint every
man, woman and child in town with
full information as to the day and its
Importance.
Tag Day may be new to Wilmington
but it is not new to other cities, where
various charities have been enabled to
raise liberal sums by this easy and
comparatively simple method of dis
posing of tags to every person In sight
for the day only. The Junior Auxiliary
has been doing some effective work the
past week and when Tag Day finally
comes around they will have a very
effective organization and one that will
cover many points in the city on Sat-
urday the 18th. There has been some
discussion as to what the first tag VIII
sell for and already various offers have
been made Where the objects Of Tag
Day have been devoted to great chari-
ties in other and larger cities than
Wilmington the first tag has been sold
for as much as $1,000. The purpose OF
the Ladies' Auxiliary Is not to ask for
large contributions, however, and while
they will doubtless receive good sums
for tags from various persons who are
inclined to be liberal in a good cause
the average sum Is expected to vary
from ten to twenty-five cents.

IMPOSING ARK
AT SYNAGOGUE
Is Of SantO Domingo Ma
hOeany, and is One Of the
Largest in Country

Not the least of the imposing fixtures
Of the new Adas Kodesch Synagogue,
which is to be dedicated tomorrow, is
the ark. beautifully modelled piece of
work in the Doric style OF architecture,
done in Santo Domingo mahogany,
which sets at the very front of the in
terror Of the edihce and is reached by
flight Of several steps at the rear Of
the platform.
This is one of the largest arlSs of
any Hebrew synagogue in the country.
In the center are two sliding doors.
Behind these will be deposited the holy
scrolls and hanging over the front OF
the doors will be the century curtains
Of silk. On the scrolls the five books
OF Moses are written and form a very
important part of Jewish worship. The
scrolls are made of parchment. Each
Sabbath and holiday they are taken
from the ark and a chapter is read to
the congregation.
At the top Of the ark are the figures
Of two lions holding between them the
tablets on which are written the Ten
Commandments. To the right and left
Of the ark are the chairs for the presi-
dent and president Of the congre-
cation.
In Jewish history the Ark of the
Covenant or Ark of the Revelation
were the full names of the sacred chest
of acacia wood. overlaid with gold
which occupied the holiest place in the
tabernacle and temple. and through
which the idea of the constant presence
of the covenant God with the people OF
Israel received symbolical expression.
This meaning OF the ark was sym
bolically expressed by the addition OF
an upper piece called the Kapporeth
This was surmounted by two cherubin
or symbolical winged figures
AS the permanent pledge OF Gods
gracious presence. the ark preceded the
people in their marches and led them
on to victory. in David's time the ark
was carried into the field by the ar
mics OF Israel.
But the idea was soon gained that
Gods help could reach forth to those
who were far from Zion without any
material pledge, and so soon as this
idea was reached the Importance Of the
ark was lost in the gradually increas-
ing weight laid on the fixed sanctuary
of Zion.

sweet Potatoss PIentIfuI.

Special 70 THE ENENINH JOUHNAL+
DOVER. Sept. 1s.-Eweet potatoes
are becoming far more plentiful in the
Delaware markets and farmers and
growers are delivering them rather
than undertake to keep too many in
their potato houses, which have to be
heated beginning with the month Of
October. The potatoes blacken and de-
cay quickly with the slightest exposure
TO frost. The price, locally, has now
dropped for the consumer from rs
cents to so cents the basket, and the
quality of the oblong potato is extra
ordinarily good this year. There is a
noticeable absence Of sweetness In
some. however, and shortening Of the
crop probably due to the unusual dry
season.
