.DR. SUN YET SEN AND THE BOW
WONG WUI ORGANIZERS Of
THEREVOLT IN CHINESE EMPIRE

Chronicle: While the insurrectos
of Mexico are claiming the worlds at
tention by a campaign involving few
thousand men in a comparatively new
and comparatively small territory, it
must not be forgotten that the largest
and most populous nation in the world
has at last begun a serious endeavor
to overthrow a tyranny three centu-
ries old and so primitive in It's op-
pressions as to seem almost unbeliev-
able.
Just at present Francisco l. Madero
Jr. us in the traditional spotlight, but
ten, twenty or perhaps fifty years
hence the name of DR.. Sun Yet Sen,
China's Madero, will be a much greater
figure in the worlds history. And, in
cidentally, it will be recorded that San
Francisco's Chinatown was the start
ing point for one of the greatest po-
litical movements, ancient or modern

these TGrtars, effete with overciviliza-
ton were the Chinese. And thus for
300 years they have held undisputed
sway, forced their unwilling subjects
to wear queues as badges of servituue
and plundered the national Golfers.
All this is more or less historically
familiar to the layman, Caucasian or
Mongol, but what is not generally
known today, even to the majority of
Chinese, is that every man in China of
Tartar birth enjoys unusual and lille
gal privileges. The hereditary owners
of China have to earn their living in
the sweat of their brows, and are so
heavily taxed as to make it we'll nigh

for high Office in the empire, while the
real Chinese is not. In other words,
he is set apart and politically favored

may seem, the Chinese themselves did

ARMY AND NAVY

/ The military order of the Carabaos,
which was first organized by officers
of the United States Service, embrac-
, ing all branches of the army, navy and
marine corps, stationed during the
Days of the Empire" in the Philip
pines Division, has grown and cement
I ed it's organization to such an extent
that the Order of the Carabao is
known and exists all over the military
domain and sea Of Uncle Sam. That
this ugly, but useful beast of burden
of the Philippine Islands should supply
the name of a large social banding
together of officers of the service, i'm
mediately suggests the wit and fun
that is possible to be enjoyed by its
members at their regular Carabao wal
lows held annually.
These Carabao wallows occur each
year wherever a Chapter or Corral"
of the Order exists. In Manila, the
wallows' occur more frequently, prob
ably on account of the isolation of it's
members who are far removed from
the crowds of their native villages
The "round-trip" of the herd in Ma.
Mia is effected at the Army and Navy
Club in the Walled City. where the at
tending Carabaos or those who have
been most willingly driven within this
delightful pen, find reshments that
are necessary to their health in the
tropics. While wit and fun are the
order of the membership, cemnted
with service comradeship.

HAWAII INVITED To MAKE EXHIBIT

Governor Frear has received the
following invitation for Hawaii to take
part a "see America First" exposi-
ton:
Baltimore, Md, May s, 1911.
MY DEAR GOVERNOR
The business men of Maryland and
particularly of Baltimore City, with the
assistance of the newspapers and vari-
Gus local trade bodies, are arranging to
hold in Baltimore from January 22d,
TO January 9th, 1912, See Europe
if you will, but see America first"
Convention; and as Governor of Mary
land, l take the liberty of inviting the
active cooperation of your State.
AS you know, is is estimated that
some hundred of millions of dollars
are spent annually by Americans in
foreign travel, and tens of thousands
of our people go constantly who really
know very little about the interesting
features Of their own wonderful coun-
try. This is especially true of people
in the East. Those who go abroad,
as well as those who stay at home, do
not realize the attractions and educa-
t!onal values which the different states
have to offer in the way of travel and
sight seeing, nor do they appreciate
the great commercial and social ad-
vantages which spring from a wider
intermingling with their fellow coun.
trymen.
This 'See America First" Conven.
ton, which the people of my State
will hold, appeals to me as a project
which should have the support of
every other suite. To one who does
not know Hawaii, the natural question
would be what was there in Hawaii
that would interest me as sightseer
or tourist? Or if l go there, what
ought l to see? Or what has it of
interest, that we do not have in Mary
land?" The object of this Convention
is to enlighten our own people and
such visitors as we may have on such
general points. In this way a wider
community of interest can be cultivate,
ed and interstate travel stimulated.
If you are in sympathy with the
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-05-31

movement, I would like to suggest that
you appoint a committee of twenty
five Of your representative citizens as
delegates to take up with our commit
tees the question of having your state
properly represented in this Conven-
ton. The expense to your State
would be very nominal, as your display
features would be largely matter of
photographs, slides, etc. paintings
which could be loaned, literature for
distribution, ETC., with some addresses
by such of your delegates as might
care to attend or other special speak
ers they might select. OF course,
you might be able to arrange for more
substantial exhibits, though as to all
such matters of detail our convention
committees can enlighten your dele
gates, if you see fit to give your sup
port. l should note that there will be
no expense at this end for placing and
caring of exhibits, so that the outlays
necessary for your committee to make
will almost be nominal
I may say that all the large trans.
portation companies, the U. S. Govern
ment, the Pan American representa-
tives, ETC., have promised help and
very interesting material. Many thou
sands of people will see this display
and hear the proceedings, and much
good is bound to result. 1t is sure to
arouse wide interest and should re-
suit in diverting considerable tourist
and sight seeing travel, which now
goes abroad or elsewhere, towards
your State to the financial benefit Of
your citizens. We are anxious to have
every state in the Union properly
represented in such way as it may
seem most to its advantage.
/ hope this will appeal to you and
that your State will have the place it
deserves to have in this convention
and that you will give this convention
aud its plans as wide publicity as pos
sible in your section.
Trusting l may hear from you soon
and favorably, am, Sir,
Very respectfully your,
CSigned) AUSTIN L. CRQTHERS.

HILO, May 26.-The preparations
for one of the best celebrations
which Hilo has ever had for the
Fourth of July are coming ahead fast,
the particular feature being the fact
that there. will be no charge made
for anything, unless outside parties
should take up the race proposition.

sport and baseball games during the
afternoon, a Japanese lantern parade
during the evening and winding mp
with a magnificent display of fire.
works to be set off from a scow
which will be anchored in the bay,
are to be the special features of the
local celebration, to consider the de-
tails of which the executive commit
tee met last Friday. Those present
we're Messrs. Easton, Wears, Pom

Cabrinha, Filler, Kinney and Ma
guire.
The committee on finances made a
satisfactory report, in which was an
nounced that the funds were coming
in satisfactorily and that slightly
over a thousand dollars had been col
lected, while not a single subscription
had come from the various sugar
plantations of this vicinity, which
were expected to donate fifty dollars
apiece. Chairman Austin, of the
committee, stated that he expected
to raise total of about 81 400, which
should be enough for all purposes.

LONDON, May 23.-The dinner of
the Pilgrims Society tonight in honor
of the colonial premiers, was historic
because of the unexpected and note
worthy plain speaking by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the Premier of Canada. Sir
Wilfrid, addressing an audience COM
posed of many of the great men of
England, handled the annexation ques-
tion without gloves.
He began by expressing amazement
that during his three days stay in
England he had heard so many people
of standing voicing doubts concerning
the designs of the United States re-
garding Canada. He scoffed at the
idea of annexation being seriously con-
sidered on either side of the border
He expressed in warm terms his ad-
miration for the people of the United
States, but said that much as he loved
the American people, he loved Great
Britain better.
Strong for Arbitration.
Canada, in sharing the Continent
with the United States, he said, had a
double interest in the treaty of arbi-
tration between the United States and
the United Kingdom, and exclaimed
dramatically:
"I thank God that the relations be-
tween the two peoples never were so
good as they are today"
The Premier aroused enthusiasm
when he said that Canada and the
United States proposed to continue to
show the world two nations with the
longest boundary, extending from
ocean to ocean, living in peace and
mutual respect, without fortress, a
soldier or a gun on either side of that
boundary.
The dinner was in contrast to the
one held at former imperialfstic con-
ference, because that was of purely
British imperialistic tone, while Anglo
American relations were almost the
sole topic tonight.
Lord Roberts presided and welcomed
the Premiers. Sir Edward Grey, the
Foreign Secretary, proposed anglo
American arbitration" without adding
anything significant to his former ut
terances on this subject. He expressed
pleasure at the arrival of the draft of
.tho traafv from washington The me-
gotiations, he said, would enter the do
main of practical politics, and he sin
cerely hoped the treaty would be con-
Guided
Supports Monroe Doctrine.
Defining the Monroe doctrine, as
meaning that no European nation
should acquire more territory on the

policy is in full accord with that doc
trine"

committee, announced that his plans
were going ahead well and that he
hoped to have a turnout which would
rival the floral parades in Honolulu.
People were going into the PROPOSE
ton in the right spirit His oniv
complaint was that he had not been
allowed enough money, as he wanted
to give good prizes and also needed
funds to help out the Sunday schools
which were to take part, in the line
of furnishing horses. He was allowed
800 more.
Chairman Filler, of the fireworks
committee, announced that he had
ordered a fine assortment which, with
freight and other like expenses,
would cost about $500. Then followed
appeals from the various committees
for more money. The aquatic sports
committee was given a raise from
SIS to $125. The $50 for children's
sports was raised to SIS, the regular
sports program boosted to 5000 from
1925, and the expenditure of S75 for
advertising and printing was author
lied.
Considerable dispute came up over
the band. Austin stated that if the
county did not pay the band a sal
airy for the Fourth of July that the
committee should do something for
them. He stated that they would be
needed in the morning for the pa
rade, again in the afternoon for a
short time, and in the evening for

ically ruled race, but they were so
busy making a scanty living that they
failed to realize how outrageously they
were being treated.
Almost simultaneously three great
reformers sprang up in China. They
were Kang Yu Wei, Leong Chi Chew
and DR.. Sun Yet Sen. The former two
were political and social reformers,
but their propaganda dealt with theo-
ries and hypothesis rather than with
that actual and belligerent enthusiasm
which inspired active support. OF the
latter type was DR.. Sun Yet Sen. per-
haps the bravest and most strenuous
Chinese liberator yet to come before
the public notice.
Converted the Emperor.
Kang Yu Wei and Leong Chi Chew
converted the boyish Emperor, Kwang
Hsu, to their beliefs, and with his fn-
dorsement planned great and radical
political reforms. But even they did
not go so far as to attack the sacred
institution of taking away the special
privileges of the Manchus. Their
scheme was to educate the people by
the adoption of modern methods. They
wanted to turn the priests out of the
temples and make public schools of
them; to order the cutting off Of
queues, beginning with the army and
navy; to abolish the Confucian classics
in reading and writing for simpler
forms, and to establish at some vague
~ distant time a constitutional form
of government
But they overstimulated the young
Emperor with their ideas. He became
overenthused, and the ever-watchful
Empress Dowager nipped his little re-
form plan in the bud by taking away
the seal of state and putting Kwang
Hsu in prison for the rest of his life.
Kwahg Yu Wei and Leong Chi Chew
were warned in time to escape with
their lives. Since then, until recent
proclamation of amnesty, they have
been careful to stay away from the
jurisdiction of the Picking government.
There is no doubt that they have
done "a great deal toward arousing the
public intelligence of China But DR..
Sun Yet Sen was made of sterner stuff.
Time and time again he took his life
in his hands, and, with a large price on
his head, he worked under the very
noses of Manchu officials, spreading
his doctrines, exposing the selishness
of Manchu misrule and organizing
revolutionary societies. Whatever the
others may have done, DR.. Sun Yet
Sen is the man behind the present
revolution in China.
1t is doubtful whether any series

CANADIAN PREMIER SUPPORTS THE
MONROE DOCTRINE, ARBITRATION
AND ALLIANCE Of ALL ENGLISH LANDS


The American Consul-General, John
L. Grifiths, responded. He said it was
a matter of qualification to the Amer
lean people when President Taft struck
the highest moral note of the genera
ton, and he recalled with what sense
of exaltation they received Sir Edward
Grey's reply.
"The Imagination is profoundly
stirred as we try to anticipate the
beneficent results which would follow
if England and America enter into
a covenant of peace" he continued,
(which would govern the mutual re-
lations of more than 5OO,OOO,C0O people.
In the long interval since the clasn
of arms was heard on the islands,
England has had the opportunity to
develop her conceptions of law, order
and power. So she has been able TO
impress her lofty ideals of govern
ment on a larger aggregate of people
than any one empire in the history of
the world"
A message was sent to the King by
the diners, and the secretary of the
society, Harris Britain, read this reply:
"The King thanks the Pilgrims for
their kind congratulations on his ap-
preaching coronation He earnestly
hopes that the high ideals which the
society have in view may be COM

Americans in Canada.
OF the speakers the Canadian Pre-
mier was the most impressive, because
his subject had aroused interest here.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke at length on
the immigration of Americans to Can
ada and the spprehensfons expressed
that they might threaten the integrity
of the Dominion. He said that the ma
jority of them took the oath of al
legiance to George v.
They had found in Canada the same
opportunity and the same freedom I'm
der the laws which they had on the
other side of the border. Moreover,
they had found that democracy under
British monarchy was not less than
under a republic.
He would not say that some Amer
leans did not covet the fair acres of
Canada, they would not be human if
they did not. If the United States at
tempted to annex Canada, continued
the premier, it would not be by force
of arms, but by sedition. In that
event Canada would reply as Diogenes
did to Alexander, STAND out of my
sun" There was sun enough for both.

mler were almost drowned in applause.
