Several ladies have complained TO
US on account of the large lumber of
young men who loaf on the sidewalks
and 10 particular at point somewhere
between FUurnier'S barber shop and
Albert ArDdt's confectionery store
and make insulting remarks as they
pass by. The day and night police
ought to keep these young men
moving and arrest any such as make
ungentlemaniy remarks. An example
made of a few of them would soon
cure them Of this ineXcuSable habit.
Gentlemen would not be guilty OF any
such charge and we are sorry 10 hear
that we have any such men in our
community.

II is not easy to learn TO keep a

A young husband gave his wife a neat
little account book prettily bound aud

He also gave her fifty dollars, aud
said: Il want you to put down what

other write down the way it goes, and

for the book. "Oh. have kept that

inscribed: "Received from Fred fifty

summary, Spent it ALI"

The last resting place of the great
Norwegian composer, Edward Grieg,
is one of the most beautiful in it's nat
ural surroundings that could be mag
ined. By the side of lake, at the ex-
tremity of ford, close to the compos.
ers native town of Bergen, there is a
natural grotto formed in the solid
rock, which rises precipitously from
the waters edge. Here the bones of
the famous musician are buried, and,
as the grotto is only accessible from
the lake, the funeral cortege will have
to make the Journey by water.

Government Offices from which the
men are drawn.
Just at this time any action which
would tend to injure the National
Guard or cause any of the men to
have to drop out in order to hold
their positions would be very unfor-
tunate. As is announced elsewhere
in this issue, orders have been re-
ceived from the War Department
that the National Guard of Hawaii
must be recruited up to a full regi-
ment II 1t is to receive Its share OF
the Federal appropriation for Ma
tional Guards. This means that the
number of men now in the organi-
cation must be nearly doubled. This
Is going to be rather hard PROPOSE
ton, as already the percentage OF
men belonging to the Guard is much
higher than in any other community.
Four new companies must be raised
in Honolulu alone.
For this reason the Acting Gov
ernor is very anxious to have peace
between the Guard and the heads OF
departments. - At the same time he
states his position unequlvocally.
Membership in the National Guard
is not to be a prejudice to any mans
holding his job in any department Of
the Government.
The matter thus appears to be set
tied and the Government still lives.
The same difficulty has arisen in
virtually every other State and Ter
ritory. and the Federal Government
has taken the ground that nothing
should be allowed to interfere with
the efficiency of the organized mill
IA. In some States the matter has
been fought out in the courts, with
decisions In favor Of the guardsmen.

GOVERNOR VIEWS

The Governors Office gave out the
following statement:
In connection with the service on
the National Guard, the Acting Gov
Crnor this morning took up the ques'
ton as to whether or not the require
ments of such service decreased or in
terfered with the efficiency OF the sew
eral departments of the Government
by reason of Withdrawing men EN-
ployed In such departments for the
time required for such service.
The particular question arose by
reason of the fact thai -four men OF
the Office of the Registrar Of Convey
onces are National Guardsmen. The
Registrar submitted to the Acting
Governor that the withdrawal OF these
men for service on the National Guard
would interfere with the efficiency OF
his department,
After the conference, however, the
Acting Governor stated that the Ma

ORDER DOES NOT COME

Adjutant General Jones OF the Ma

The statement in the Advertise

to increase the strength OF the Ma

The ruling OF the Department in its

in forty years are too wise and too able
to be wasting their energy in a pur-
poseless pursuit.
The two wars fought by Japan in the
last fourteen years had the same ulti-
mate object in view-the securing of a
foothold on the mainland of Asia. If
Japan is cabined, cribbed and confined
within the narrow limits of its island
home, it will never be a great power.
The Japanese know that: But if, like
England, it can make that island home
a basis from which it can control large
portions of the outside world, then it
can hope to become in the Pacific what
England.is in the Atlantic.
As result of the war with China,
Japan wrested from the Chinese the pre-
dominant influence in Korea and seized
an important piece of Chinese territory,
the Lao Tung peninsula. The powers
forced Japan TO retroeede this tract.
Time went on and Russian influence in
Korea became menac;ng, Russia OBJ
tanned a lease on Port Arthur, on the
same peninsula which japan had once
held, and Russian aggression threatened
China. Again Japan went to war, os-
tensihly to free Korea. to maintain the
''open door in Manehuria, and to save
China from the Russians.

! done without the sanction of the Japa-
nese government inspectors, even if the
government is innocent of completely.
Complaints have been made, but the
evil still goes on according to the re-
ports of the traders of all nationaiities
who are concerned in the Manchurian
trade. These methods in Manchuria
are causing protests to flow into the
foreign offices of every Eurol can cap-
ital and also to the State Department
at Washington. What the outcome
will be remains to be seen.
From the Japanese point of view,
Manchuria is but the thin edge of the
wedge which Japan is inserting in the
body of the Chinese Empire. From
their coign of vantage at the north
they hope to flood China with Japa-
nese goods, japanese books and Japa-
nese ideas, not to mention japanese
guns for revolutionistS For this reason
they are interpreting objections to the
extension of the Chinese railway to
Fakumen. Chinese city, because it
might interfere with Japanese railroad
business. For this reason they are flood
ing China with teachers and spies
whose business it is to try to teach
the Chinese that Japan is the equal of
any nation on earth and that if China
will only follow its lead the despised
white barbarians will be driven from
Asia.
However, Japan is not putting all
it's eggs in one basket, and 1.-THE Chi
nese will not succumb to methods of
this kind they may be forced to sue
cumb by war. Japan, failing in diplo-
macy will always fall back on war
as it's best asset. Just now it is al
most bankrupt, but nevertheless it's
army and navy are being made ready
for trouble and if trouble comes in
China-then Japan is there on the
ground and China cannot defend itself.
There are two methods by which ma
lions maintain great military establish
ments One is that of the rich nation
which can afford the expenditure and
which keeps up great army and navy
to defend its possessions and it's trade.
The other is that of the poorer ma
tons which cannot afford the luxury,
but which hope by occasional wars to
make vanquished nations pay the bill
in the form of indemnities or territory.
Japan obtained a huge indemnity from
China and while it was thwarted in it's
purpose to extract a great sum from
Russia it obtained possession of Korea
and Manchuria. 1t is not at all I'M
likely that Japan, contemplating a
war with China. considers ii a foregone
conclusion that China, and not Japan.
must foot the bill for its own demoIi-
ton.
