NEED Of
PEARL HARBOR

The representations made TO the
members of Congress by the Chamber Of
Commerce OF San Diego regarding the
necessity of the opening up and forth
fying of Pearl Harbor are strengthened
very much by the references made to
the fact that the safety of the whole
Pacific Coast depends upon this work
being done The national need of the
Pearl Harbor work is brought out most
clearly by the San Diegans in the fol-
lowing letter, a copy of the one sent to
the various members of Congress by
their Chamber of Commerce. The let
ter is:
''You are of course familiar with the
tremendous development now going on
in the Pacific Our states bordering
thereon are already classed as being
among the nation s most valued pos
sessions and yet they remain praeti-
cally defenseless. 1t is true that we
have Notifications at Puget Sound, at
San Francisco and San Diego, but they
are entirely inadequate. Especially is
this true of San Diego. 2100 miles
flom shore lies our outpost-Hawaii-
the strategic center of the Pacific. To
day her only defensible harbor, Pear
Harbor. near Honolulu, is unprotected
and in its present condition is useless
for our navy and therefore useless fol
cur defense.
"The Army and Navy Departments
own large acreages of land on Pear
Harbor, and we most earnestly urge
that that their plans for its improve
ment and defense be entered upon with
out delay.
While the growing commerce of tbs
Pacific is sufficient in itself TO warrant
this undertaking, we would yet pres:
it upon a selfish. standpoint-the meet
of adequate protection for the Pacific
Coast. which cannot be permanently Sc
cured until Pearl Harbor is made avail
able for our ships of war

THE DIsgRACEFUL
TREATMENT Of Id SUN

Editor Advertiser; Tie case Of Mr.
Lo sun coming up before the court
today, is an interesting one. It shows
another reason why the unrighteous
and unehristian exclusion law should
be modified.
Mr.. Lo came into the country with
papers as a teacher. He engaged in
teaching and in editorial work. Just
as soon as he gives up his position. in
one school where he was at work, and
before he has time to make other ar
rangements. he IS arrested, as being
only an editor. and a laborer and so
unlawfulIy in the country! This seems
rather hard on the Chinese. Mr.. Lo is
a weII-educated and scholarly young
man For certain reasons he was un-
able to continue as school teacher, in
the school where he was at work But
as a good newspaper writer, is he not
teaching? In every country newspa-
pers are a great source of develop
ment and education of the people. Why
cannot an editor be considered a teach
err?
Chinese preachers and evangelists
come into this country with teachers
papers. They are not strictly speak
ing, school teacher, but as teachers OF
religion are considered teachers. Why
should not editors as the teachers OF
public feeling and world news, be con-
sidered teachers? They are certainly
scholars and men of learning. They
are not merchants, or travellers, or
common laborers Certainly not COM
mon. at least If the doors of Amer
lea were open to all the editors OF
China, there could not be a great flood
The fact that an educated gentle
| man, of class that is not large, is
debarred the right TO enter our land,
| is one of the disgraceful and unchris-
tan things of the Chinese exclusion
| law. And it is this strict and otter
unreasonable Interpretation of the law
that causes so much irritation and
bad feeling among the Chinese. Lei
true Americans. who like TO see fan
play, among men and among nations

exclusion law.

MUSIC FESTIVAL.

One year has interviewed according
to arrangement with the authorities of
the schools interested. It was then
decided that at the festival to be held
this Spring some Cantata should be
given Since then the committee to
whom the question was submitted chose
the Rose Maiden by Cowan. It is
full of pleasing melody, has not too
much OF chorus work to be prepared,
and the choruses are not specially diff
fieult There is much of a variety by
way of solo work, duets, Quartets and
small choruses. All this latter work
can be supplied by local adult talent,
save that it is planned to have one
soloist from the mainland. Fortunate
", Mr.. Fred Butler, the bass, so much
in favor with Honolulu people is at
Seattle and has declared himself desi-
rous OF coming here. It seems likely
that terms can be made that viii bring
him. In this case a solo part will
either be adapted for him or various
solos from other sources viii be in
in the program.
As for the Children's Carnival OF
Song.-heretofore held at the Boys
Field. Mrs. Tucker viii be able to
bring together a larger number and
certainly they are better drilled every
year. This is saying considerable The
chorus may reach as high as one thou
sand this year. Mr.. Butler, If he comes,
win sing at this concert also.
The question of where the Festival
is to be held is exercising those inter
ested. The present view is in favor OF
the old fshmarket. This place has the
advantage of combining the outdoor
idea with perfect shelter for all. The
Bows Field is fine when the weather is
all right: last year. however, people

the capital city of the Paradise OF the
Pacihc-Johannes F. Eckardt. of Ho-
nolulu. He has been just the same
through all the years. and his name
out there, among all classes and con-
ditions-is the synonym for all that is
true. just, and square.
Brother Eckardt was born in Olden-
burg, Germany. June ID. 1857. In 1872,
he went to sea, from Bremen. After
four years experience in 1876. he re-
/ turned home, entered the School of
Navigation in Elsheth. Germany, and
in July. 1877, he passed a successful
examination. Next, in October, of that
year. he left home once more. and ar
rived in Honolulu in September, 1878.
In August, 1879, he commenced his SER
vice in the Queens Hospital as As
sistant Superintendent. and rose to the
position of Superintendent in 1888. In
this latter position, ne has continued
ever since, with credit to himself, and
satisfaction to the faculty, as well as
to the public.
Brother Eckardt became a member
of the Order of knights of Pythias
by initiation in Mystic Lodge No. OF
Honolulu. on November 10, 1890. Since
then, he has served his Lodge as Outer
Guard: Master of Finance: Vice Chan

of Works, and. for a second time, as
Vice Chancellor.

FORMER BAPTIST
PASTOR IS DEAD
REV E. TUFTS ONCE IN CHARGE
OF BAPTIST CHURCH
HERE.

Friends of the late Rev. George e.
Tufts, former pastor Of the First
Baptist church in this city, but later
Of Wolfville, N. s., will be panied to
learn of his death, news of which ap-
pears in a recent issue of the Watch
man" Baptist publication of Boston.
Mr.. Tuft was the pastor who succeed
ed Rev. James Sanderson in charge Of
the First Baptist church in October,
1880. He remained in charge until
the following September and was
succeeded by Rev. G. S. Bailey. The
account OF his death is given in the
following from the "Watchman."
1t was surprise to his many friends
to learn of the death of Mr. Tufts at
Wolfville, N. s., May 30. In the spring
he was in Boston, and appeared in his
usual health. We have not learned
the immediate cause Of his death.
Mr.. Tufts was born in New Albany
Nova Scotia, in 1870, and was gradu-
ated at Acadia College In 1856 and at
the Newton Theological Institution
in 1877. He was ordained at West
Waterville, now Oakland, Me-. in July
1877, and his pastorates have been
successfully at West Waterville and
Dover, Me-, Ottumwa, Ia, and Belfast.
Brunswick, and Islesboro, Me. In
1892 he travelled for year in Europe.
Probably Mr. Tufts most notable work
was in his ministry at Belfast and
vicinity. While at Belfast he became
interested in several rural churches
in Waldo county, especially those at
Morrill, and Liberty, and greatly as
CiStnd fhor,, NV, h c
ices. The rural Baptists churches Of
that vicinity owe much to Mr.. Turfts'
self-sacrificing devotion. After his
pastorate at Brunswick and return
from Europe, having means of his
own, he gave his services freely to
this work, and later became interested
in the little Baptist church at Isles
boro, on an island In Penobscot Bay,
opposite Belfast. The island vas ra-
pidly developing as summer resort,
an Mr.. Tufts sagaciously seized the
opportunity to strengthen the church
in anticipation of a prosperous future.
A good house has been built and the
church placed on an independent foot.
ing. All the work was done by Mr..
Tufts without regard to financial re-
turns to himself. He continued in the
pastorate at Islesboro until last sum
mer, when he had the satisfaction OF
seeing a successor settled with the
church under circumstances which
promise prosperous continuation OF
the work. Mr.. Tufts was of gentle
pleasing and courteous personality
and of more than usual culture. He
was contributor to both Appletons
J Encyclopedia and to the Encyclopedias
