orators like to call the Masses and the Glasses
Rooseyelt's method was direct and bnsinessiike
He stirred the people with ringing epithet and
telling phrase; he stirred the leaders of Big
Business by swift and audacious attacks, in
congressional messages as well as in legal pro
cedure The result was an amazing and perma
nent awakening of interest in what Big Bust
ness is doing in Big Politics
At the same time, the financial leaders to
whom Clews refers with such evident yeneration
found that in proportion as they were failing to
hold public confidence, they were opening Bust
ness to attacks of all kinds Many of these at
tacks were unjust, but they were the natural
result of policy of seeretiyeness, Indifference
to public opinion or defiance of public right
Within the past five or six years, great cor
porations have learned their lesson and are
seeking to win the public confidence They
maintain publicity bureaus and give out even
their private business affairs with frankness
that is in marked contrast to the former reti-
cence.
They don't do it because they have pro-
crossed in love for the socalled Classes They
do it because they are afraid to continue their
secret borrowings They are finding it better
to be frank than to fight hostile legislation.
They are finding it pays to let the public know
what Big Business is doing, and as Clews OBJ
serves in the same letter, .'progressivism is es-
tablished; not the kind that tears down and
destroys, but the kind that builds up and estab-
fishes institutions more in line with the inter
ests and will of the people than has been the
custom in the era which is now passing away

NOT IN SHORT TROUSERS

4fr
Congress has set very valuable precedent
for Hawaii in its passage of the Kau ditch bill
The bill is reported by the Star Bulletins Wash
ington correspondent to have passed the senate
today.
In the favorable report of the house commit
tee on territories, the following comment is
made:
sInasmuch as Congress has heretofore re
fused to extend the benefits of the reclamation
act to Hawaii, the people of that territory
should be given every reasonable opportunity
to develop their water resources and reclaim
arid lands by the aid of private capital"
The report calls the contemplated work "a
great public improvement and says that the
question of fiscal policy has been left to the PEG
pie of Hawaii as .'best able to decide this ques-
ton for themselves.
The senate committee declares that the
srights of the public are carefully safeguarded"
In passing the bill Congress has gone on rec
ord as allowing Hawaii to settle the details OF
Questions of this kind for itself. Hawaii is able
to do it, and it is gratifying to know thai the
national lawmakers, with whom the territory
desires to work in absolute harmony, know that
Hawaii is able to do it.
AS a territory, Hawaii is distinctly out of the
short-trouser stage

PROTECTION FOR YOUTH

In police court this morning a girl par0led
from the Industrial school and man of this
city we're brought before the court charged with
a statutory crime. The charge, stripped of le-
gal verbiage, is that they have been guilty of
gross immortality, and the evidence on which
they we're arrested was that the man had gone
to the private home in which the paroled girl
lived and that the offense in the eyes of the law
was there committed. The girl is fifteen years
old
The case is before the court, the evidence not
vet taken, and the Star Bulletin does not wish
to comment on the case for these obvious rea-
sons The case now serves to draw the atten-
ton of thinking men and women to the laws of
Hawaii and their power in preventing indie
ceney and the sway of a libertine's passions.
The last legislature took up certain phases Of
this question and amendments we're passed to
the present law relating to assault with intent
to ravish Serious penalty is provided for those
Who assault female under twelve, while abuse
of child under ten is punishable only by death
or life imprisonment The age of fourteen is
the cage of consent, although a widespread
opinion seems to prevail that it is twelve The
niarriageable age is also fourteen for females.
There has been for some time feeling on the
part of men and women of this community di-
rectly concerned with disciplinary, educational
and reform work among boys and girls that
there are not enough safeguards for the moral
ity of youth That the next legislature will be
s asked to make amendments to the present law
is certain One proposed amendment is that the
cage of consent" should be fixed at sixteen years.
1t is pointed out, however, that the marriage
law would have to be amended also, to provide
that females under the age of sixteen may not
marry, and the very pertinent question then
comes up if the ends of morality would be
served in Hawaii by fixing sixteen as the mini
mum manageable age for females.
PROFESSIONALLY if present statutes are inef-
fective it is time to change, and the time to Sc
cure unbiased consideration of the subject is
now, so that the next legislature may be APP
preached on sure footing. The subject is not
a pleasant one, but it is public duty to handle
it fearlessly and thoroughly.

VETERAN HIKER
COVERS ISLANDS

For the past three weeks, George
Thayer, the veteran pedestrian who
walked across the Isthmus of Panama
some months ago, has been tramping
over the hills and down in the valleys
of the islands of Maui and Hawaii.
During the entire three weeks, he has
scorned the use of horse or automo-
lille, but tramped necessarily from
the time he left the boat until he
boarded it again.
Tuesday he returned from Maui,
where he made the ascent of Halea-
kala and went over all the trails of
the surrounding country, covering his
gound so thoroughly that he doesn't
believe that he missed trail on the
island.
The volcano was great, :. he said
when discussing his pedestrian excur-
sions ON Hawaii. 81 always expected
that it would be pretty fine to look
at but it was even better than that.
When they asked me to write in that

long walk, but it's worth. it.

Yrng a famous Chinese engineer and
his wife are visiting friends in Homo
lulu today.
Yung is returning TO China as the
result of a eablegram from Gen. Ii
Yuen Hung, vice president of the Re-
public. instructing him TO return and
take up the work OF constructing the
first modern city in the Orient.
Yung is a graduate CT Yale. class

and in mining engineering at Column.
bia. He has been engaged in important
mining and railway building schemes
both in China and Cuba, and was Sc
lected for his new position because OF
his eminent success in all his engi-
neering undertakings.
Discusses Project.
In discussing his new project. Yung
said that it was the intention of the
Chinese Government to plan out a
modern city in the place of the old
Hankow, wiped out of existence by the
fire and pillage of the late rebellion.
The new city will take on the best
features of the larger American cities.
he stated. There viii be q civic cent
er. wide boulevard along the river
front, gas and electric plants, modern
sewage system, parks, eac.
Yung pointed out that this will
make Hankow the first strictly mod
ern city in the Far East and fifty
qualify her to take her. proper place
In the commercial and Industrial life
OF the Chinese empire. Hankow had.
before the rebellion, a population of
100000 in the city proper and more
than 100000 more in the environs
across the Yang-tse river The largest
ocean steamers ascend to its wharves.

Hankow Railway, the Hankow-S Sees
hHan lines, and a dozen other lines
planned and in course of construction
will find terminal in this city.
Backed by Dollars.
While Yung was not fully informed
as to the details of the matters of fur
nishing funds and material for the
great work ahead of him, it is under
stood thai. the Robert Dollar Company
of San Francisco will provide the nee
essary capital, amounting to $l7.000,-
900, and that their employees win per-
form the work, under the general sa-
pervision of Yung., Captain Robert Dol
lar is to leave for the Orient shortly
and. through the instruction of the
Peking Government to Yung. the two
will arrive in China about the same
time
An enterprise which has been dis
cussed with the Chinese Government
by representatives of the American
banking syndicate interested in the
Chinese loans several times during the
last four years is the building of sus-
pension bridge over a mile in length
over the Yang-tse river, and Yung said
that this would come about with the
rebuilding of the RACED city.
This would involve an expenditure
of $5,000,000 more and the whole
scheme is considered to be the most
important in which American capital
has. ever become interested in the
Orient.

BUILDING A CITY

Honolulu's business center of the immediate
future is definitely fixed by the sale OF the
spreckels property as announced in another
column of this paper
The wisdom Of settling the federal buiding
site in favor of the Mahuka area and of settling
this whole question now, is evident. Rapid de-
velopment of the section is sure to follow.
This is city-building of the highest import
ance. Honolulu will profit by it quickly and
surely.

LOCAL Y. N. c. A.
TOBE MODEL FOR
JAPAN BRANCHES

Several new branches of the Young
Mems Christian Association in Japan
are to be copied directly after the
local association both from the point
of constitution and articles OF incor-
poration as the result of a journey
made through here year ago by G.
N. Fisher, national secretary for
Japan
r When the Y M. G. A. official passed
through here he paid a visit to the
new building, then just completed, and
after looking over the plant and read
ing the constitution, bylaws and
articles of Incorporation, he declared
that the Honolulu association was
model one both from the standpoint
of organization and equipment.
When the last steamer arrived
from the Orient, it bore letter from
Fisher asking that copies of the by
laws, constitution and articles of in
corporation be forwarded him as he
desired to use them for several new
branches of the Association then be-
ing projected.
The new buildings are the result of
$2,000,000 donation made by several
