SECRETARY OF STATE KNOX.

For while the encouragement of good
will with the Far East and the Far
South and more efficient diplomatic
relations are big consideration in these
new arrangements, back of it all is
the determination to corral trade with
the United States.
These things mean a considerable in
crease in the activities of the State
Department. Hitherto it has been the
smallest by far of all the executive
departments in the number of officials
and employees. But service in the State
Department has been of very polite
order. The clerk in the State Depart
ment has been accustomed to look
down upon his brother government
clerk in other departments. The work
in the State Department was not by
any means as strenuous. The working
hours, if anything, were shorter, al
though the same law applies to all
departments. The assistant secretaries
and bureau chiefs in the State Depart
ment have been accustomed to trans
act their business rather nonchalantly
and to devote a maximum amount of
attention to social matters.
Secretary Root first began to shake
up the State Department. He set a
wholesome example by going through
the files and disposing of old cases,
where it was possible-cases that his
predecessors had allowed to drift along.
He recognized the work of the depart
ment to considerable extent and
did much toward waking the employees
up to the Importance of their tasks.
He was in the habit of sitting in his
office many hours at stretch while he
went to the bottom of a case or
situation and mastered it.
Secretary Knox is keeping the en-
ployes of the department awake, and
insisting upon a businesslike atten-
ton to public affairs The assistant
secretaries and the bureau chiefs still
do their work more leisurely than in
any other department of the govern
ment and two or three men are re-
quired where in some of the other de-
partments one man would do the same
volume of work and do it quite as
we'll. But Secretary Knox is insisting
that the work be done expeditiously
and well. He has injected new life
into the organization. that If may keep
up with the new diplomatic and con
sular regime
The diplomatic representatives of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-10-04

ing. These qualities he is promising
anew in his efforts as the premier of
the Taft cabinet.
In some part he has coordinated with
President Taft, who resided much
abroad and had ideas of his own about
the administration of the foreign af-
fairs of the United States. But the
ideas have also been in no small part
those of Secretary Knox. In all he
has done and in all that he plans to
do there is earnest cooperation on the
part of the President, already convinc-
ed that one of the fortunate occur
rences of his administration was the
choice of the Pennsylvania for Seere-
tary of State.
Mr.. Knox has shaken up the con-
sular service It used TO be a favorite
saying that the American consuls We're
the least efficient of any first-class ma
ton. 1t was not true by the time Pres
ident Roosevelt had been in office a
few years. But Secretary Knox has
advanced the efficiency of American
consuls beyond the point of the RQose-
welt administration, by profting from
the experiences that Secretary Root
had in trying to improve the service.
1t may not be the case yet that our
consular service is the best any nation
has but if the reorganization work con-
tinues it is not improbable that will
be so before President Taft s present
term has expired. President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root perfected the sys
TEN. President Taft and Secretary
Knox have gone far toward taking the
trained material available and toward
getting the right men into the right
Dlaces. Those who did not make good
or who for some reason could not at
tain the desired efficiency in given
place have been transferred to less i'm
portant places. better fitted for their
order Of talent. This work has been
going on ever since last March so that
now there are comparatively few
square pegs in round holes and vice
versa.
No Secretary of State has been left
more to work out his own policies IN
foreign affairs than has Secretary
Knox. That has come to be regarded
as the sine qua non of great Secre-
tarv of State. Of course he can not
be highly successful without the full
est cooperation of the President. any
more than presidential administration
can be highly successful in its foreign
policies without the active and intellt-
gent cooperation of the Secretary OF

LAHAINALUNA CROWDED.

Maui News.-Lahainaluna school has
a greater enrolment than ever before
in its history. Principal Macdonald
has been at his wits end to know what
to do with the large number of old
boys who have come back unexpectedly
as well as to care for those who had
long ago made application and were at
that time received. \ rule of the
school is that old boys may come back,
but unless notice is sent by the boys,
it is practically impossible to tell how
many Will turn up, even after school
has been opened. Lahainaluna has
opened vigorously in all its departments,
and the year bids fair to be the bright
est in the history of the oldest boys

INvENTS INTELLIGENT
DEATH PRODUCER

japan Advertiser.-This is not our
own story and we therefore are unable
to vouch for it albeit that we have 1T
from so credible an authority as the
Hochi.
1t would seem that Mr.. Saito Soto
ichi is an inventor of no mean repute,
and at the same time president of the
Tsuruoka Ironwork Manufacturing
Company of Yamagata Prefecture.
Among his many inventions is loom
for weaving habutae silk, besides a
number of other machines which he
has had patented and many of which
have received government awards.
He now comes to the fore with
truly marvellous invention of tor
pedo that would seem to possess more
than human intelligence.
This dread machine of death and
destruction is said to be able to I'M
failingly and automatically follow IN
the path of an enemy's ship, finally
overtake it and blow it to destruction,
The fact that a wire, through which
an electric current is passed, and which
sinks to the bottom of the ocean,
would indicates that some human in
telligence is also back of this death
dealing machine.
These sunken wires, it is asserted,
will enable the torpedo to accomplish
it's dread purpose without danger to
noneombatants between the victim and
the destroyer. Saito has applied for
patents for his invention.

Mall special TO the AdVertlSer.1
WASHINGTON, D. c., September 20.
Probably no other department of the
government under President Taft s ad-
ministration has been developing as
much under very promising conditions
as the Department Of State under Sec
rotary Knox. During the last eight or
ten years there has been a vast deal
of talk about the United States as a
world power. The phrase is now in
corporated into most public speeches
of a general character as necessary
formality. The State Department has
scored many advances because of the
government IS larger part in the theater
of world affairs. There were notable
achievements, such as that of the late
Secretary John Hay in compelling a
recognition of the open door in China.
Most of such activities were decidedly
good and made for the advantage of
the country.
Secretary of State Knox, after SER
vice in other cabinet positions and in
the Senate, the while the government
of the United States was taking a
place of first rank among the nations,
is now likely to do more in the way
of organizing and charging the work
of the State Department toward holding
whatever of prestige and other advan-
tage this government has gained than
many of his predecessors dreamed was
possible He is not a man of demon
strative methods but he has shrewdness
and foresight in planning and execut-

State. President Taft has had funda-
mental ideas about foreign affairs, es-
pecially about oriental affairs. But
he has turned over to Secretary Knox
the work of shaping these policies,
which is the proper function of the
first man in a presidential cabinet.
Secretary Knox has entered heartily
into the spirit of President Taft S orr
entail policy. 1t was ne who put the
Far Eastern Bureau into good shape
recently and picked the men who should
have charge of it. But the Secretary
also saw the possibilities of similar
South American Bureau the organiza-
ton of which he has just announced.
1t is Secretary Knox's idea that min
listers and consuls who have had long
experience in the Orient, for instance,
should be brought to Washington to
man the Far Eastern Bureau, and in
fact, that service in that bureau should
be regarded as a sort of staff duty.
After a term ministers, consuls and
secretaries to legation in the Far East
ern Bureau may be again sent out to
other consular and diplomatic positions
and others. more recently in touch with
the Eastern situation be brought in
to fill their places.
The same thing is to be done with
ministers and consuls in South Amer
lea. Men are to be brought from ac-
tive service in that continent to man
the South American Bureau and they
must be good men at that. They must
be more or less familiar with the
Spanish language and must have serv-
ed long enough in some South Amer
lean country to have gained intimate
knowledge of the commerce and dip
lomacy of that quarter Of the world.

BAD FIRE LOSS.
Building Of Dodge City Mercan-
tile Company Destroyed.
Contained One of Largest Stocks
in Western Kansas.
LOSS WILL BE $4,000
Fire Started in Basement Where
Goods We're Being Unpacked.
Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald
Owned Building and Stock.

Dodge City, Kan. Nov. 2.-This city
has just suffered the worst fire loss in
its history in the destruction of the
Dodge City Mercantile company block.
the total loss being placed at $4,000,
with only partial insurance. The fire
originated about o'clock Monday ev-
ening. The Mercantile company had
just received a large consignment OF
furniture and this was being unpacked
in the basement Of the building.
AS the excelsior was removed it was
thrown into furnace. AS the door
was opened to receive a fresh supply
of excelsior the flames shot out and
ignited the i1fiammable material with
which tbs basement of the building
was crowded. An alarm was immedi-
etely sounded and although the fire
flames were soon beyond control.
The fire occurred at a time when
many of the clerks were at home at
their suppers, and so fast did the
flames spread that the money was not
recovered from many of the cash reg
listers. The block was new one erect
ed less than two years ago by a COM
pany headed by Lieutenant Governor
w. J. Fitzgerald and cost $4,000.
The building was occupied by the
Dodge City Mercantile company which
carried a general stock valued at $780,
600. Governor Fitzgerald was also the
head of this company, the other mem
bers being w. N. Locke and Samuel
Stubs. The building which was de-
stroyed was erected by Governor Fitz-
gerald and Victor Carson, the latter
wealthy stockman of Ford county.
The firm which was burned out last
night is the outgrowth of d small de-
partment store founded Is years ago
by Governor Fitzgerald. 1t grew stead
lily from a small and insignificant in
stitution to one of the largest in the
western half of the state and was
source of much ride alike to it's own
| ers and the residents of this city.
The building or perhaps a larger one
will be erected to take its place is the
opinion of those who are familiar with
the pluck and courage of the men VINO
lhave just met with disaster.

ALL BALDWIN CELEBRATED.
After Is Years Rest Baker Has Tn
defeated Football Team.

Baldwin, Kan. Nov 2-Saturday
night witnessed one of the greatest
demonstrations that has taken place
at Baker university for years, it be-
ing a double celebration, that of Hal
loween and Bakers victory over
Ottawa universities football team.
Ottawa's undefeated football squad
came I'D backed by crowd of 325
to BEAT Baker or Bust and carried
home the small end of a 6 to score.
Baker celebrated Saturday night.
At 9:45 the entire student body,
faculty, and many Baldwin citizens
met in Centenary hall and spent an
hour in an informal program, con-
sisting of songs. speeches and yells.
The fact that after fifteen years rest,
Baker this year has a football team
that has not been defeated. seemed to
put new life into everybody present.
Following the program. the drum
corps led a walk around" which out
did anything of the kind in the his
tory of the university. The walk
around" stopped at the south side of
Lake Parmenter where a huge bonfire
was soon vying with the moon in
lighting UP the scene. Here more
songs were sung. more talks made,
and more yells yelled. At 11:40 DR..
Parmenter took the megaphone and
made a short talk and dismissed the
crowd, which sent UP a few parting
wells and went home.
