ST. PETERSBURG March S.-ro the
uninitiated it must seem peculiar fact
that while Russia succeeds in borrowing
enormous sums of money from France
and little from England and Holland,
she raises not a single kopeck from her
wealthy German neighbor, whose friend
nness with Russia has been a tradition
since the time of the Napoleonic wars.
Why does not Germany, on her part, seek
to acquire the profit and political in
f1uence that always follow on the advance
of important sums of money to a foreign
nation? In modern times large body
Of cash deposited with a foreign people
Is about the most serviceable corps dipo-
matique lima ginable; it's presence is al
ways felt for the promotion of the lend
ers interest: its integrity is regarded by
International consent as something sa-
cred and inviolable, and, far from re-
quirng remuneration for its services, it
pays its employer for the honor of being
allowed to work for him. and that. too,
at handsome rate of interest. Can Ger
many be blind to this while France is
so clearsighted?
The truth is that Germany has satisfied
herself that she is obtaining far more
real and tangible hold on Russia by
actual occupation OF Russian territory
and the centers Of Russian commercial
life than she would by holding any
amount Of the scrip issued by the I'M
perial Bank at ST. Petersburg. 1t Is easy
to see this from the tone of the German
financial press. which does not think
much Of the credit of the Russian gov
ernment, but IL fully awake to the re-
sources of the Russian nation, and these
it knows Germany holds in the hollow of
her hand.

should be taught that the pick and

no more degrading than the same

there Is much better promise OF a

Senator Coelho wants to know
whose children are to be trained to
understand the dignity OF agricultur-
al labor. Most certainly every child

American knows no division OF race
or family. The common school Is tho
crucible of American citizenship;
work is the great ieveler of capacity

makes indicates need for more care

man to be seen.
And In connection with the Agri-
cultural College the Senator grabs an
other fifth wheel. The EFFORT OF Su-
perintendent Babbitt to train the
children in agriculture Is the one
line of teaching that will equip the
boys and girls of ambition and capac.
ity for advancement to the college

COMPROMISE, BeSH!

Compromise schemes for straight
ening out the difficulties into which
the Mayor and Board OF Supervisors
have brought themselves, are largely
buncomb.
The point at issue is: whether the
Mayor should appoint the city and
county employees, by and with the ad-
vice and copsent OF the Supervisors.
Don't befog this with a job-chasing
carnival fixed up In the back room Of
any citizens office, however good"
he may be.
The Mayor, acting with his politi-
cal advisers, proceeded to appoint ev-
erything in sight. And In the esteem
OF many sensible citizens made a silly
mistake.
The Supervisors, not to be outdone,
demonstrated to the Mayor and his
advisers that they could go to anoth-
er extreme II necessary. II was, and
they did.
To the citizen. the obvious intent
of the Legislature and the desire of
the people Is clear. The Mayor
should act with the Supervisors.
But since the law is so ambiguous
that 1t has brought about or made
possible the present deadlock, the
business-like solution is an appeal to
the courts. Whether this shall be
done in friendly spirit is not
OF especial moment. The decision Of
that non-political Supreme Court Is
the only proper method of settlement
because the Supreme Court has the
last guess in this instance.
II the decision OF the court Is OBJ
viously opposed to what the people
wish, the Legislature will be In SEES
sion, to make the necessary correc-
tions.
The political advisers have mud
died the situation quite enough. The
Mayor should stick to his text and 60
to the courts.

Considerable speculation is being
INDUCED in regarding the artillery
post which is to be established at
waikiki Beach. That a post OF large
size will be established is certain, but
how 1t Will be laid out, and how the
buildings viii be constructed, is
known at the present time only to
the War Department, probably.
All of the construction and other
work at the beach Is under the direct
control of Major Winslow of the En-
queer Corps, and 1t Is probably to
him that the job will fall OF con-
structfag the barracks and laying out
the grounds. He will not be In a po-
sition to make any announcement,

II the children OF our public
schools are taught that agricultural
labor is honest, dignified, and remu-
nerative toll, when well performed,
we then have accomplished the dual
benefit Of raising the standards OF la
Dor and "citizenising" the employees
OF every industry in the Territory.
Hawaii has become SO lmpregnated
with the idea that agricultural labor
on the sugar plantation must be done
by the slow-witted coolie, living In
barracks. that ii is hard for some peo-
pie whose thoughts Senator Coelho
expresses, to think of a man who en-
joys the rights and privileges OF citi-
zenship to contemplate a future that
carries him Into the sugar field or
sugar mill.
As matter Of fact. the gang-labor
system is rapidly passing from the
sugar fields Of Hawaii. The first
movement toward Its disappearance
was when contract labor was wiped
out. The movement toward a larger
measure of independence for the man
of toll has been going steadily for
ward. until today we find many sugar
properties where there is practically
no day-iabor. The whole sugar crop
Is produced by men who contract to
cultivate the various fields, and their
financial reward is in accordance
with their own success In cultivation.

s. NJ. Damon is one Of the few de-

whom we Hawaiians love. because he
is a true friend of the Hawaiians,
and he loves us as though he were a
native Hawaiian himself. From
reading his interview, see, 1t is his
earnest desire to have more sons and
daughters of Hawaii take more in

them to acquire and build homes, and
out Of their holdings to build up
some industry whereby they would
become independent and happy citi-

that those who fail in their training,
and who cannot be made to apprs-
ciate the value of independent ex-
istence, should be trained to be skill
full in the handling or performance
of simple works around factories,

is something which has done 81 eat

a few years ago, on the mainland.
As you may remember, when the
farms on the mainland were going to
ruin owing to the poor crops pro-
duced, the Government at Washing
ton became interested, and sent out
experts with carloads of materials
and seeds for giving the farmers per-
sonal Instructions as to what to do
In order to save and improve their
crops. stock, etc. We all know the
result of that assistance. The same
could be done here in a simpler way.
The Legislature provide for the ex-
penditure, and the College of Hawaii.
the Federal Experiment Station and
the Territorial Bureau of Agriculture
send out experts in the several sub
jects which interest the farmers in
the several localities of our Islands,
and spend sufficient time at each
place giving practical demonstra-

work than room talk. ..'

Proposal

Editor Evening Bulletin:
H. reply to your request for an ex-
preston concerning Hon. s. M. Da-
mons interview in your paper Of the
4th Instant, would say that, in the
main, he is correct.
The idea OF interesting children in
agriculture is excellent, but the at
tempt to make them laborers Instead
of training them to be independent
citizens, earning their livelihood out
of their own toll and out of the soil
they cultivate is abominable.
The natural tendencies Of chill
dren to drift into varied vocations are
so evident that to inculcate into the
young minds the principle which is
now being advocated to be pressed
into the public school system OF Ha-
wall, will not produce the result de-
sired, and the efforts in that direc-
ton would be dasted. What parent

to be a cane-stribper or irrigator or
any other kind of field work, for
winch the highest wage is % cents
to VI per day, working from IL to
II hours per day and nothlng Tor
any overtime? And whose children
are to be trained to be plantation
field laborers," and whose to be train
ed for the "white-shirt professions?
IL IL very evident In hawaii TO-DAY
that 1t Is the purpose OF those who
have become wealthy out OF the ka-
nakas land to force them out OF all
chances OF becoming independent cit
liens and drive them to the fields. In

The best men the world has pro-

demonstrators OF mans ingenuity In
all departments, whether political,
commercial, financial, scientific, me-
chanical, or agricultural, were men
who were born OF parents OF poor cir
cumstances-sons OF good, honest
toilers.
Congress, when II passed the Nor
rill Act did not intend to train the
rising American youths-those OF one
class to be "white-shirt professors
and those OF another to be iaborers
on the cotton, sugar, and tobacco
farms OF the South. No. Decidedly
