HAWAIIAN FLAG PRETTIEST
ONE MAN EVER SAW

Hawaii's territorial flag, formerly
the flag of the Republic, the Provis-
ional government, and the Monarchy,
has now place in the lockers of the
Pulitzer, better known as The World,
building in New York city. A hand
some flag sent by the promotion com
mittee has reached Superintendent e.
A. Pratt of the Pulitzer building, who
writes the committee as follows:
81 think the flag the prettiest 1 ever
saw, of course, next to the American
flag. The Hawaiian flag has probably
never been seen on public building
in this city before.
"It will give me great pleasure to
have the Hawaiian flag raised on TINS
building on your two special holidays,
June ii. and the third Saturday OF
September, and / am thinking of put
ting it up on New Years day with the
American flag"

KAMEHAMEHA'
NAME HONORED
Military Post at Queen Emma
Point Named After the
Great King.

"Fort Kamehameha is to be the
name of the new military post at
Queen Emma Point, Pearl Harbor. This
is the first post in Hawaii to which
a Hawaiian name has been applied, all
the others bearing names commemora.
tive of haoles VINO served their coun-
try with distinction.
1t is true that one other post bears
the name of local man, Fort Arm
strong, at the harbor entrance, which
was named after General Armstrong of
Hawaii. But Armstrong is not a Ha-
waiian name.
Governor Frear has for some consid-
erable time been trying TO get the name
of the military post at Queen Emma
Point changed to Fort Kamehameha.
The post was originally named Fort Up
ton, in honor of Brevet Maj. Gen.
Emory Upton, who served with distinc-
tion during the Civil War and who died
in 1881. There has been considerable
correspondence between the Governor
and the war department on the subject,
and yestrday the following letter was
received by Acting Governor Mott
Smith:
"Sir:-I have the honor to inform
you that orders have been issued chang
ing the name of the military post at
Queen Emma Point, Pearl Harbor, Oa-
hu, H. T., to Fort Kamehameha in hon
or of King Kamehameha I, surnamed
The Great.
"This action has been taken in view
of the recommendation contained in
your letter of May 12, 1902 and as a
recognition of the respect and esteem
in which the memory of Kamehameha
is held today by the residents of Ha-
waii, white and native alike, and the
place he holds in the history of what
is now an integral and loyal part of
the United States. Very respectfully,
"(Signed)

ABOUT READY TO
LAY DOUBLE TRACK

No additional extensions are being
planned by the Rapid Transit company
other than the double tracking of King
street and the building of the new road
to Pearl Harbor naval station. Fort
Ruger does not, at present, occupy any
part of the plans of the company.
The material for the Pearl Harbor
extension is nearly all here. Essen.

SILVER SERVICE FOR
RETIRING MANAGER
Honolulu Plantation Employees Show
Their Aloha for Manager Ross.

A very pleasant event took place at
Aiea the other evening, when the friends
Of Manager George Ross of the Homo
lulu plantation gathered at his resi-
dence and presented him and Mrs. Ross

The presentation was accompanied by
few words expressive of the hearty
good wishes of the employees.
After the presentation social even
ing, with dancing, was enjoyed.
Mr.. Ross, who has been manager for
the past three years, turns over the
helm to James Glib at the end of the
year. The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ross join in hoping that their fu-
ture will be pleasant.
1t is probable that Mr.. Ross will
make a tour of Europe after the first
of the year, revisiting the scenes of his
youth.

Prospective Citizens Are
Greeted by Hun

and Friends.
(From Wednesday Adverttser.)


Eight hundred and sixty.nine Port.
nguese men, women and children left
Madeira and st. Michael islands for
Honolulu aboard the British steamship
Swanley, and although three infants
died on the way, about eight hundred
and seventyfour arrived at Honolulu
yesterday morning, there being eight
births on the voyage.
1t was an eager crowd which lined
the rails of the steamer when the ves-
sci arrived off port and as she passed
in and tied up at the Channel wharf,
and there were hundreds of their coun-
trymen and women ashore anxious to
see old friends or relatives. In fact,
so many of the Honolulu Portuguese
swarmed over the road between the
wharf and the immigrant station to see
the new arrivals, and to talk and weep
with them, that Inspector.in-C Charge
Raymond c. Brown had to use fire ropes
TO keep the crowd back.
The Swanley brought 511 adults, and
they were a likely looking lot of peo-
pie. They did not all look like agricul-
fural laborers. Many wore clothes of
a city cut, la Azores styles, and some
appeared even dudish. Some of the
men came ashore wearing jaunty hats
of straw or felt, some carried canes,
and sported gold chains and watches,
some carried parrots. dogs, game cocks,
while accordions, guitars and mandolins
were numerous among the musical in.

wearing hats akin to the peach basket
style of several months ago-but it
must be remembered the immigrants
have been at sea nearly two months.
Being Examined
The immigrants came ashore soon
after the vessel tied up and were i'm.
mediately escorted ~ the immigration
station where the usual examination
will be held. 1t will continue all of
today and when passed, the immigrants
will be free to go where they choose.
The planters will look after as many
as wish to go upon the plantations.

grants in Portugal, left Punta Delgada

immigrants, and left Funchal, Madeira
on October 26 with Ill more, making
n total of 500. The agents had expect
ed to gather at least 1900 immigrants
and the vessel had been heavily provi
stoned to meet the hungry demands OF
sueh a large number. That proper pro
vision was made to feed this larg,

the fact that ON arrival here yesterday

Not only this, but some OF the teach
ers in other schools became convinced
that cigarettes were bad for the boys,
but they said: How can we exhort
them so long as we ourselves smoke
them?"
Happily the movement has devel-
oped to the point where there has been
an imperial edict directed against the
habit for the boys of the whole en-
pire. which, while there is no proba-
bility of its becoming Immediately ef-
fective. is still of great moral value.
That the Chinese boy has con-
science and that 1t bothers him be-
cause of wrong doing and is not strik-
ingly different from the American
boys, is illustrated by the following
letter written by a Chinese boy to the
author:
Dear Sir: Four weeks ago we had a
conversation about my faults Now

are indeed very kind. The right mean

I beg you to point out my faults
during these four weeks. Tell me
at any time, please. For illustration,

write this letter. earnestly hope that
you will help me to do good
Your obedient student.
This lad has since become an en-
thusiastic Christian and is now in
regular training in the fine Shanghai
association training school for the
physical directorship.
Not only are the Chinese people
taking on with startling rapidity the
political and educational features of
western civilization, but they are
turning to an earnest consideration of
the religious problem also. Said one
of the educational leaders in this mod
ern movement: China first saw that
western military systems were supe-
rior to her own and she at once estab-
lished military schools and arsenals
She next saw that there is much that
she must have in western education.
and hence the great modern school
propaganda. The next great issue is
going to be the question of western
religion"
Well should we Americans note that
saying of Napoleon. when China
moves she will move the world.rs
President Taft has on more than one
occasion voiced the conviction that
one OF our most important problems
is that of China, and that the Ameri-
can people should be awakened to a
practical knowledge of the situation.
The San Francisco call., 1909-11-21

In this three important considerations
are:
1. China is fully determined to break
from the Objectionable features OF her
past and to take on the best things she
can find In the west. In this she has
ample and convincing authority from
the greatest Chinese that has ever
lived. for Confucius said when two
men walk together. there is sure to be
one and teacher. Take his good
points and follow them; take his bad
points and change them" And. what
is more convincing still. China is now
some years advanced in the more i'm
portant phases of her great reforma-
tfon.
2. The stupendous changes. such as
abolishing the old and establishing
new educational system. establishing Of
constitutional government, the wonder
ful anti-opium campaign and others.
are all coming. not from the people up.
by fighting and blOodshed, but from
the ruling classes down.
g. 1t will be true in China. as anv
impartial student of history will admit
1t has been in the west, that the re-
ligious element will be. in the long
run, the most important.
1t is matter of which America may
well be proud that in both education
and religion she is doing nearly il not
quite as much for China as all the rest
of the world combined. In this con-
nection it is significant that China. due
to the above and to the almost ideal
attitude that our government has taken
toward her from the beginning. has
won her most sincere regard and con-
fidence.
1t now remains TO be seen whether
or not our American .ople will rise
above short sighted and petty interests
and considerations to continue for the
greater China that is to be that great
work that she has been doing through
standing for the open door in Man
churia, through the education of Chi
nese students in American universities.

The Chinese boy in school is not par
ticularly different from his American
prototype. He certainly does not seem
to one who, knows him to be behind In
intellectual power, and good sugges-
tion that this is SO is that when he
comes to America for university work.
as he is now coming by the hun
dreds, he wins more honors than his
proportionate numbers would lead one
to expect.
A feature of the modern school sys-
tenn that has stirred a great interest
in the Chinese schoolboy is military
drill, that has been everywhere intro
duced. Practically every school, from
the lowest. up, has had uniform, and a
certain number of hours of drill are
required weekly of every student.
Napoleon said of China: There lies
a giant; let him sleep" Any one who
has lived within drum or bugle call of
a Chinese school during the last five
years would be certainly convinced that
the giant is awakening

thusiastic attention in its season.
The Chinese Young Mems Christian
association. based upon the American
model and having the cooperation of
the American association through the
American secretaries it has sent, has
had large part in this rise of interest
in western athletic sports in China
Here are some records that will in

by Chinese high school boys Running

October. held under the auspices of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian associa-
ton and certain of the modern schools,
there were present some 1000 specta-
tors and between 100 and 200 athletes.
Not least by far in the benefits that
modern athletics is bringing TO the
Chinese schoolboy is the moral issue
that efforts for athletic efficiency
raises. For instance. In one school
a determined effort was inaugurated
on the part of the boys Themselves to
stamp out cigarettes, because 1t
injured their prospects in football.
