after having come this far. They
are, on the whole, a very likely-look-
ing people. They don't act like
loafers. The families, as whole,
appear clearly and well kept. Every
thing about them suggests that they
will make good citizens, and will
find the country and the work OFFER
ed them congenial.
Admitting all this, we must not
forget that the Territory of HAWAII
owes something to its own people.
Already more time and money and
worry and kindly words have been
expended on the Russians than have
fallen to the lot of some of our own
work-a-day citizens III many moons.
II the Anal result is to secure more
consideration for the citizen-worker
or all men who do manual toll, well
and good: the Russians may be look
ed upon as saviors of the working
mems cause. But this seems highly
improbable The net result, accord
ing to present indications, has been
to SOW seeds of discomfort all up ana
town the line, and eventually so
disgust the citizen worker that he
will make decided protest against
all immigration projects under Ter
ritorial auspices.
Sufficient time has elapsed to en-
able our Russian friends to decide
what they will or what they won't
do. Further parley can accomplish
nothing more than talking in a cir
Gle. Let us have an end of 1t so
far as the Territory is concerned.
Let those who want work, go to
1t, and those who won't work, go
home.
There are lots of people in Homo
lulu who are quite as much in need
of free food as are the Russian inn
migrants.

Aged Inventor Has An Airship That

LONDON, March 12.-Sir Hiram
Maxim, who was the pioneer Of motor.
propelled flying machines, has built
an aeroplane which, he believes, is
superior TO anything yet invented.
Seventeen years ago Sir Hiram be.
gan the remarkable experiments which
resulted in his being able to lift n

a large amount of money, and the con.
illusions at which he arrived and which
were freely divulged were of invalua.

Now Sir Hiram, at the age of 10, has
taken the field again. He has invent
ed biplane which is said by those
who have seen II to be extremely
graceful, and gives promise of being
equally effective. Not only the de.
sign of the machine but the engine
and practically every detail OF the
mechanism are the outcome OF Sir Hi

Briefly, II may be said that the ex,
