OCEANIC coMPANY'S TERMS

Four hundred people, anxious to come
to Hawaii and stay for from four to
five weeks, have decided reluctantly
that the trip is out of the question be-
cause there is no assurance that if they
come here they will be able to get
away, back to their mainland homes.
This is the substance of the letter
received yesterday by Prof. w. A.
Bryan of the College of Hawaii from
DIR. David Starr Jordan, president of
the Leland Stanford Junior University
and prominent member of the Amer.
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science.
The matter of inducing the members
of this celebrated society to hold their
1911 convention in Hawaii was taken
up by Professor Bryan and others some
months ago, material progress being
made. The promotion committee took
the matter up and prepared pamphlet
setting forth Hawaii IS claim to seien-
tifc recognition. Other organizations
became interested and committee was
named to keep up the campaign and
bring the scientists here. The commit
tee was unable to secure any reason
able prospect of ocean rates or of ac.
commodations on the American liners
and finally let the matter fizZle out
to an inglorious conclusion.
The scientists themselves, however,
had been infected with the Hawaii
microbe and opened up negotiations on
their own account with the steamship
companies. What the indifference of
Honolulans failed to accomplish, the
independence of the American steam
ship companies succeeded in. They sue
ceeded in keeping from four to six hun
dred visitors away from Honolulu
The letter of Doctor Jordan. writ
ten under date of January "a, says:
"Dear Mr.. Bryan:-The matter of
going to Honolulu was discussed at Bos-
ton at the meeting of the American
Association. 1t was felt that the asso-

Association, and a corresponding meet

the table, somewhat reluctantly, but II
was understood that the sole reason
against it was not lack of interest OF
the part of the people of Hawaii, but
the fact that there is no certainty OF
the members getting home, and we car
not go until we are absolutely sure OF
a return at definite time An oppor
tunity was given us to charter the Ala

demand for fifteen thousand dollars il

"I am sure the association will b'
pleased to 90 to Hawaii whenever We
can be assured of accommodation fol

Personally, am glad it is post
poned, for l should like to go along
and I am on an international commits

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms give
place to chronic disorders and the suf-
ferer goes gradually into the grasp of
diabetes, dropsy, Bright's disease,
gravel or some other serious form of
kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre-
tions are irregular of passage and un-
natural in appearance, do not delay.
Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for
kidney disorders-they cure where
others fail. Over one hundred thou

WASHINGTON, January 27-Prob-
able the most important Hawaiian
item of recent occurrence here is the
favorable report of the army engi-
neers on the Kahului harbor project.
While this action was foreshadowed
some days ago there were annoying
delays. Two prominent engineer of
ficers have been laid up with the grippe
and the work of the engineer office has
been much delayed Meanwhile the
house rivers and harbors committee has
been waiting to consider Hawaiian
projects,
There was danger that the commit
tee might decline to delay considera-
ton of Hawaiian projects longer, which
would have been somewhat to the pref
udice of Kahului harbor. George b.
Mcclellan accordingly went to the wal
department yesterday and informed the
chief of engineers how important it
was to have the report forwarded to
the Speaker of the house, in accord with
the routine requirements, at once. Gen
eral Marshall appreciated the situation
and allowed Mr.. Mcclellan to take the
report to the secretary of war for ap.
proval and then to carry it personally
to the house where it was delivered to
the proper authorities, 1t is now form.

Prohibition Bill.

Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, who is
candidate for reelection this coming
year and has developed a very unex-
peeted interest in prohibition, is re-
sponsible for the favorable report from
the committee on Pacific Islands and
Porto Rico of prohibition bill for
Hawaii. The bill reported is that in
troduced by Representative Curtis of
Kansas. 1t was reported by sort of
flank movement, getting out of commit
tee by the votes of two absentees, Sen
ators Piles of Washington, and Fletch-
er, of Florida, who had not heard the
protests against the measure as at
tempting legislation which belonged to
the territorial Legislature. 1t appears
that they had authorized Senator Clapp
to announce their votes for the favor
able report, largely as personal favor
to him. There is a big prohibition ele-
ment in Minnesota and Senator Clapp,
now having terrific fight for reelec-
tion, is trying to do something to win
the favor of that element.

Congressional Party Banquet.

The banquet which the congressional
party that visited Hawaii last autumn
gave to the Delegate and his wife last
Tuesday night was a very successful
affair in every particular. There were
number of invited guests, including
Mr. Hatch, Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclellan
Colonel Parker, Frank Thompson and
Mr.. Watson Many very pleasant things
were said about Hawaii and the Ha
waiian people but the feature was the
really spontaneous expressions of good
viii for the Islands. The number n,
the banquet was sixty and all voted II

For months the members Of the House

entered the same class on the Senate

Gratis are not more to be blamed in
this relation than some of their Repub-
lican brethren, but Senator Newlandsi
observations for the benefit of his
party drew especial attention to Demo
cratic obligations. Senator Newlands
said:
The people of the United States are
not inclined 70 permit themselves TO be
absorbed IN studying refinements as TO
the Constitution. They wish great ma
tiOnal constructive work TO be done,
They wish great reforms inaugurated
and pressed 20 a solution.
Senator Newlands spoke of the evils
of interstate commerce, and declared
there were many lines of progressive
action which could be taken only by
the National Government. Should il
declare itself impotent to accomplish
them, he held its doom was sealed, and
that the people would not intrust it
with authority. He advised his breth-
rem to break away from the traditions
of the past and set their faces TO the
future.
Democratic leaders intrusted with
the management of the Congressional
campaign and with the policy of the
party in Congress will do we'll to weigh
Mr.. Newlands' utterances.

THE DAY WHEN THE NATION
PAYS TRIBUTE TO ITS DEAD.

Today is Memorial Day. 1t is the
day when the nation, from Maine to
California, pays deserved tribute to its
honored dead. All over the country
fitting ceremonies are being held in
memory of the long muster roll of the
silent ones, those who loss their lives
on bloody fields, those who were rent
by wounds from which they suffered
and suecumbed, those who were caught
In the fatal grip of the diseases of the
camp, and those who, invulnerabe to
bu lets OF to disease, have gone down
before the remOrseless hand of Time.
Loving hands are placing flowers and
flags on the graves Of fathers and sons
and brothers, those who constitute the
vast army of the known dead who
were sacrificed in the terrible struggle
of 81 and 80. Nor are those whose
names are unknown, but whose bones
have been gathered up from battle
fields all over the South, and decently
inferred, forgotten. The sailors who
lost their Ives on the ocean and on
the rivers in saving the Union are re-
membered. And while Memorial Day
was instituted primarily for the sol
diers of the civil war, the dead of other
wars are given equal tribute.
More and more, Memorial Day is
coming to be generally observed in this
country. 1t is in some respects the
noblest of our holidays. It is a time
when we can all prOftably stop and
turn our minds to the consideration of
what it is about, of what its lessons
are. 1t is a time to remove any last
vestiges of sectionalism, a time to in
still in the minds of the young people
right ideas of patriotism. Year by
year, the lines of the survivors Of the
armies who fought for the preservation
of the Union a half century ago are
growing thinner and the armies of the
dead are growing larger. We cannot
honor them too highly or cherish their
services too greatly. 1t is a day to
study the example which they set. In
cidentally, too, it is worth while to re-
member that this generation has its
problems to solve, its great issues to be
met, and that not less heroism will be
required courageously and honestly to
meet these PROBLEMS than was required
Of the men who have sacrificed them
ealves all along the line of march of
the republic.
