DIR. CLARK CABLES.

DR.. Clark has telegraphed to the
local Board of immigration from San
Francisco stating that so far he has
not been able to conclude negotiations
for a suitable steamer to bring the
laborers from the Madeiras to Homo
lulu via Santa Cruz. He added that
he was unable to make complete ar
rangements for the chartering Of the
vessel, as so much would depend up
on A. J. Campbell, the agent, who is
at present in London. AS soon as DR..
Clark hears definitely from Campbell
he will be better able to make his ar
rangements for the charterihg of the
steamer. For the present, therefore,
he can only obtain offers from steam
ship owners. Campbell will communi'
cate direct with DR.. Clark at San
Francisco.

A FEW FEATURES
OF VOLCANO TRIP

Snow may not be unusual at this
season for people who come from
the mainland to Hawaii. 1t is out Of
place only to those who live in this
semi-tropical section of the world all
their lives. But Hawaii can offer a
novelty to the average tourist in a
fiery volcano a thousand or more feet
below the snowline. 1t is not every
winter resort that can offer such an
attraction.
The crater is very active now, and
has been for a longer period than
for many years. The rains have filled
the streams which dash over the
cliffs on the island of Hawaii and the
cane is as green as green can be.
These are features or trip to the
volcano, for the steamer passes with
in sight of the shore. The noun
tains with their snow-tops fourteen
thousand feet above the sea level and
an occasional glimpse E. the smoke
from the crater are among the sights
from the deck of the Mauna Kea.
An opportunity will be afforded to
see all there is to be seen between
Honolulu and the volcano next Fri
day, when the Mauna Kea will leave
on a special excursion, returning
Monday morning. The price for che
trip is set at thirty dollars, which
pays all expenses from Honolulu to
the crater and return. The crater
was never more active than now and
the weather at the crater is said to
be perfect; crisp enough to encour-
age tramping from the hotel to the
koa forest and to little Kilauea, in
addition to the tramp into the big
crater. The koa forest should be in
teresting to strangers, for it conveys
an idea of the gnarled trunks of the
trees from which the beautiful Ha-
waiian mahogany comes. There IS
much to be seen on the trip to the
volcano, plenty besides the fire and
wonderful lava formations in the trip
itself, and those VINO wish to sec
them at a very small cost will do
well to book for this excursion.

Mr.. EDlsoN's INTERVIEW.

1t is rather astonishing the large
amount of comment which has beer
occasioned by a recent interview with
Thomas A. Edison, in which he says
he believes death ends both the spir
itual and physical life of man. He
expressed the opinion that the human
body is nothing more than a collection
of cells.
Mr. Edison has delved into the
mysteries of electricity and come out
with wonderful products. He knows
what composes the Odd little storage
battery. He knows how to reproduce
the human voice. All these things
he is able to do by knowledge of ma
terial things. Now he reaches the
conclusion that everything is mate
rial. 1t is a conclusion which many
minds reach at some time in the
course of their development, and
above which, fortunately, most of
them rise, because there is nothing
inspiring about the belief that we are
little collections of cells.
The statement of Mr.. Edison was
so entirely natural for man en-
gagged in his kind of work and one
who devotes so many hours of every
day to it, that there seemed little
reason for the interview to attract
great deal of attention. 1t was the
fact that Edison is a very learned
man which drew attention to his re-
mark. With reference to learning
and recognition of the existence of
spiritual life, Macaulay, in one of his
essays, says: las to the other great
questionable question what becomes
of man after death-we do not see
that highly educated European, left
to his unassisted reason, is more
likely to be in the right than Black
foot Indian. Not a single one Of the
many sciences in which we surpass
the Blackfoot Indians throws the
light on the state of the soul
after the animal life is extinct"
Mr.. Edison's remark had been an
swered many, many times before Mr..
Edison was born-San Antonio Elk

essay to criticise when criticism is

PUBLICITY AND PROGRESS.

The Atlanta Constitution in a few
terse sentences eXemplifies the truth
that lies back of the recent assertions
of Senator Lafayette Young of Iowa,
himself an editor, to the effect that
the press of the country exercises a
greater final influence than congress.
The same applies to all other fields
of human activity, whether in legisla-
tive halls, on the public rostrum, or
in the humber walks of productive
endeavor Says the Atlanta contem-
porary:
Publicity is the keynote of the
progress of our day, provided it is
conducted upon lines of candor and
full opportunity for public expression.
Arguing from that premise, it is likely
that the editor who keeps his news
columns responsive to the truth and
to the drift of public sentiment, is
greater factor in molding public opin-
ion than the editor OF the old days,
who Numbered personal opinions in
his editorial columns and garbled
news reports in his news columns
Personal journalism had its weight
in molding public sentiment in the
older days; then the public wanted to
know what the paper had to say, and
the paper, as a distinct entity, had to
say It; but when the paper said it,

being given the opportunity of doing
something toward warming the heart
of and bearing Christmas joy and
sympathy to some one who may be in
sore need of the benediction which
no one SO well as we can bring. The
secret of a blessed Christmas for us
all is to cordially lend ourselves to
the heavenly task of making as many
other people as we can reach and in
fluence know that He and we love
them and are intent upon bringing a
blessing into their lives Thus OBJ
served the happiest of all our holiday
seasons will be we'll worth while.
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1910-12-22

1t is but natural that a man takes
retrospective view of life about
Christmas time Especially is this
true if the man is getting along in
years. Youth does not take heed of
things that impress man. Youth
lives today The man of years lives
largely in the past. And when the
time of festivity comes instead of lay
ing all cares aside and taking part in
the merriment, he becomes retrospect
i've: He spends his time in taking
stock of the past; in thoughts of
what he has failed to do, largely. And
with most men the review is anything
but encouraging, reassuripg. We
enter a new year with resolution to
do certain things, but somehow we fail
in our effort. The year has not
brought to us the blessings we had
hoped for-the things we had strived
for We seem to be no further along
than we were this time last year.
And, too, one more year has been
clipped from our allotted time. But
what is the use We can but do our
best, and live in hope. All else
should be left to Him who guides our
destiny and our lives.

Problem ConfrOnts
Army Officers Now
(Herald Specially

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. pa
problem that is causing some worry
is confronting army officers at Fort
Sam Houston. Within the next six
months at least six hundred enlisted
men of the Twenty-second Infantry,
now stationed here, will have served
the term of their enlistment and will
be discharged from the army As
rule, these men enlist again, either in
the same regiment and company or
in other regiments Very few of the
men now receiving their discharges
are re-enlisting in the Twenty-second
Infantry, and the reason lies in the
fact that in the foreign service the
men get double time allowed on their
service looking toward retirement
Most of the men now re-enlisting are
going to Alaska and the Philippine
Islands.
Fifteen years abroad is equal to
thirty years service in the United
States. Another reason why the sol
diers are flocking to the foreign SER
vice is that an increase of twenty per
cent in their pay is allowed. They
are given the same allowance for
clothing as in the states, whereas the
actual need for clothes is less. In the
foreign service the annual maneuvers
are dispensed with, and this is also Z
feature that pleases the soldier.
