take care of herself. and here is where
the real reason for political intrigue,
which incidentally benefits the COM
merce of the intriguing nation, comes
into consideration; here it is that the
strongest reason to fear the influence
OF Japan is to be found. All the suit
ors for the hand of and favors of
China have a common object, but each
are determined that China, being the
weaker vessel, shall be obliged to re-
main in that condition for all time to
come, when the hoped for alliance takes
place. 1t is the geographical position
of Japan and the records of her army
and navy in the last six years that
is causing so much heartburning
among the powers which in common
with Japan are determined to keep
China down politically, while they
build up her commercially to their own
advantage.
It is misrepresentation that enables
the troublemaker to stir up strife be-
tween nations; by him Japan is repre-
scented as seeking territorial aggran-
dizement in China and as laying all the
time plans for the violation of the
rights of other nations and the exclu-
sion of foreigners from the participa-
tion in whatever benefit is derivable
from the commercial relations with
China

Women Prisoners in Japan

It is difficult to associate the light
hearted, chiIdlike japanese women
with the dark, forbidding and depress-
ing side of life suggested by prison.
But even in the Land of the Rising
Stunt crime and the punishment # it
have to be reckoned with; and The
question of reforming women criminals
is prominent one in Japln just how.
Penology has made rapid advances
there Of recent years because the jap
anese have the capacity of assimilating
the best methods of other count;i in
every subject they seriously consider.
They realize that the prevention If
crime is even more important than rs
cure, writes Elizabeth Sloan Chesser
in the Guardian, and the drift If their
legislation is toward nipping crime in
the bud. They have grasped the fun
damental principle that much crime
is due to adverse social conditions, AMI
their idea is to lessen temptations to
crime by improving the social and eco
nomic state of the people and by pro-
stationary methods.
With regard to their treatment of
women and girls sentenced to prison
for such crimes as theft, drunkenness,
arson Ga very common and serious
crime in Japan, where the tiny wood
en- houses blaze and burn in a few
minutes, and fire spreads quickly from
house to house) reformatory methods
are rapidly being employed all over
the country. When [ visited Ichigaya,
one of the chief prisons for women in
Japan, was much struck by the
humane and curative system that has
been organized of recent years. The
first impression of the prison contrasts
markedly with ones idea of a prison
in this country.
There are no massive buildings and
glass windows with iron bars, no bars
| stone floors, no long corridors and tinv
| cells where the prisoners spend long
hours in solitary confinement. The
buildings surround a central courtyard,
and are built of wooden planks or STAN
/ dards cage fashion. so that the pris-

and night. The floors are covered with
corn colored mating and the wood
work is polished till every grain is
visible. The prisoners wear pink crepe
| kimonos, which contrast with their
ivory faces and cleaning hair.
We were taken to Que large room
where three rows of pink clad figures
were squatting Japanese fashion on
pink cushions on the floor. They geet-
/ ed us with shy smiles and soft muir
murs of "Ohayo," the japanese
"Good-day," while they simultaneous
~ bowed the blue black heads to the
! ground. Politeness is one of the chief
virtues in Japan, and in the prisons
! special lessons are given in MANNERS
and department. and classes are even
! held TO teach the art of tea serving,
which is an important ceremony with
the Japanese. The idea is that whatever
raises the self-respect of the prisoner.
whatever improves her behavior and
manners, aids her reformation. The
teaching is very comprehensive. Les
sons are given in weaving, dressmak.

ing and sewing, and we saw some ex-
quisite embroideries made in the prison
and artistic garments cut kimono fash
ion
The prisoners work in sheds all day,
so that the cells are practically sleep
ing apartments, and it has been found
that working in association under of
fetal control makes for reform and
improvement of mental and physical
health. Prison in Japan is an educa-
tional agency and the women work and
are paid wages for what they do
Prizes and decorative awards are also
given as an incentive to good work and
conduct.
The Japanese of today could teach
us a great deal in the matter of pen
ology. They allow their prisoners more
liberty. they show more sympathetic
interest in their welfare, than we do.
Everything is done to teach them in
dustry and morality. AS their behav-
Tor improves they are given better
food and various privileges. Every
thing and every prisoner is scrupulous-
ly clean.
We visited the bathroom, which con-
tanned about fifty quaint little wooden
tubs, measuring two feet by four feet.
These are not for washing purposes,
but are much appreciated luxury. A
japanese washes before entering
bath, and everybody has heard of the
custom of the country that makes
bathing regular household ceremony
partaken of in order of precedence.
Every prisoner has to wash three times
day and has a hot bath three times
week in Japan. When the prisoners
have served their sentences arrange
ments are made by the state for provid
ing them with remunerative work on
discharge.

the rounds catch Japan in some part
of her anatomy, and so the merry war
for part of China S dover goes on.
In all this there is, however, a re-
gretable amount of viciousness, a great
deal of misrepresentation and a great
deal of barefaced lying. The vicious
element endeavors to align Japan and
England against the United States and
China. 1t is the same element that for
the last two years has endeavored to
bring on war between the United
States and Japan; the breach seemed
to be about healed; that is to say, the
breach that existed in the popular
mind; thinking Japan and thinking
America were unable to figure war as
a result, though it was always to be
admitted that mass of popular senti-
ment, emanating, though it may, from
millions of unwashed, is dangerous
thing when international relations be-
come in the slightest degree strained.
These mistaken people, who would rep
resent America as befriending China
for the sole purpose of injuring Japan
and England, are doing America a very
great injustice, and IN some regards
we are obliged to bring the vicious
class and the lying class together and
identify them as one and the same.
1t is well known that President Taft
has for many years been deeply inter
ested in commercial China; it is to
be expected that man of Mr.. Taft s
caliber would grasp the Importance Of
China s trade to America and the mag
nifcent field that might be cultivated
in amicable copartnership with Japan.
That the business men of America,
who have seen through the same
glasses as Mr.. Taft, and who are now
prepared to compete for business in
China, or that Mr.. Taft and his ad-
visers in Washington have any inten-
ton of antagonizing Japan or of driv-
ing her from any position, commercial
or otherwise, that she may have seeur-
ed in China. we do not for one moment
believe. It is the desire of those who
are now engaged in the abominable
task of trouble making, to stir up in
America a feeling against Japan in this
connection, and in Japa to sow the
seeds of distrust and discord so that
some interest may be served, some
body s pocket lined, or some spite
gratifed.
Intense jealousy between competing
nations, and especially Germany and
England, has marked the history OF
China's commercial intercourse with
foreigners for the decade; America and
japan are newcomers in that terri
tory, and while there has of course
been pretty severe fight between
them we do not believe that America
has felt or has had cause to feel un
friendliness to Japan in this connec
ton. One thing is absolutely certain:
it is that none of the powers men,
toned have any intention of develop
ing China to point where China can

once he puts his mind, and hand, to it.
Constabulary Band.
Honolulu has much to look forward
to with the arrival of the great Fill
Pine band on Tuesday. It is long
time, as time flies, since the people
have had an opportunity to hear any
thing above ordinary in music from an
organization as large as the Constabu-
larry band and it may be a long time
again before another organization will
arrive and give as good music. The
selections to be rendered will please
everybody and more accommodating
set of musicians have seldom appeared
here. Seats sold well yesterday which
shows that Honolulu intends to greet
the band in numbers and, it is hoped,
enthusiastically. The concerts render
ed on the mainland by the Constabulary
were soon known as 'tPopular.'' The
programs included all classes of music
so they could not help pleasing. If
the band remained here long enough
their popularity would grow beyond
reason and as it is to remain but two
days let 1t part with pleasant recollec-
tions of the visit.
The BONNIE.
The program at the Bonnie, on Hotel
street under the Alexander Young
H4Sel, has the merit of exclusiyeness
for Mr.. Bonine is his own picture
maker. He has made slides of nearly
every part of the world, sometimes for
himself and often as the representative
of the government. He shows at his
beautiful little theater some startling
pictures of the volcano of Kilauea in
action and several interesting views of
island subjects. The last steamer
brought him a number of mechanical
additions to his well fitted place of
amusement and these will be seen to-
morrow for the first time.

This is the "Hall of the Dull Thud''

SICK TWO YEARS
AFTER THE GRIP
Tonic Treatment Is Necessary
After the Acute Stage of the
Disease Is Past Before the
Health Can Be Fully
Restored.

A single attack Of tins grip may mean
. lifetime of misery if proper precautions
arc not taken to restore the blood and
drive out the lingering poisons that
cause the so called after effects" of the
disease.
The danger from tire grip is seldom
over when the characteristic symptoms,
the fever, the catarrh, the headache and
the depression Of spirits pass away.
The grip leaves behind it weakened vital
powers, thin blood, impaired digestion
and Over-sensitive nerves--a condition
that makes tho system al easy prey to
pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner.
vous prostration, and even consumption.
Too much stress cannot be laid on the
Importance Of strengthening the blood
and nerves during convalescence.
Mrs W. II. Parker, Of No. 90 West
Union street, Newark, n. Y, tells Of
her cure by this treatment, as follows:
Il was sick for two years following

everyone thought I wns going into con
sumption. I was extremely nervous and
had trembling spells which affected me
so that I couldn't sit still. During this
year had 10 lie down most of the time.
My heart palpitated and my head
ached frequently. lost great deal iu
weight, had no ambition and was not
able to do much work. had no appe

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured such blood diseases as anmmia,
rheumatism, after.effects Of the grip and
fevers. Owing to tho intimate relation
between the blood and nerves, the pills
have been found invaluable in such ncr~
