BOROUGH COUNCIL
PLEAS HEARD ON
TRAMWAY VET0S
TBy Latest MALL

WESTMINSTER Evidence was
given recently before the select COM
mittee of che House. of Commons
which is considering the question of
the motor traffic in London, with re-
gard to the retention or otherwise by
the metropolitan borough councils of
their power of veto over the intro
duction of tramways within their ar
cas-.
William Francis Dewey, town clerk
of Islington, said that the financial in
terests of his council in the tramways
in Islington were very great The
tramways in Islingtcn were at present
assessed at $4,000, which upon the
present basis of rate of Is Cd. in the
pound, meant contribution of $13,961
per annum to the revenues OF the
council.
The bourghs council considered that
it was better judge of the traffic
requirements in the borough than the
London county council. on behalf of
which the question of the retention of
the power of veto by the councils had

w. A. Kinney's reasons for opposing Pink
ham for governor are not known here, but 9
very reasonable explanation is that Kinney still
stands by his declaration of many months ago
that the organic act should be changed SO thai
executive might be sent here from the mainland
Possibly also his opposition is in behalf of his
carly candidate, G.. j. Waller.
Delegate Kuhio's first intention was to sup
port the Pinkham nomination Whether Kin
ney can bring forward arguments sufficient to
convince the delegate that he should withdraw
his support is uncertain, but there is no uncer
tainty of the fact that the blocking of Pinkham's
'confirmation and the continuance of the fight in
local Democracy will work strongly toward
amendment of the organic act.
We have yet to hear one person in Hawaii ex-
press the opinion that it is good policy, in the
long run, to surrender the present legal bar
against governor from the mainland.
Alaska is far less advanced in territorial gov
ernment than is Hawaii and yet the appointment
of Major Strong as governor emphasized the
home rule principle and this principle was
publicly recognized by President Wilson and
Secretary of the Interior Lane when the appoint
0ent was made. fractional squabbles should
cease when they come to the point of limiting the
f'eht Of this territory to self,government.

TELLS OF HAWAII
in THE DAYS
OF old

"0ld Hawaii" was the subject of an
interesting address delivered by w.
o. Smith in Cooke Hall, Young Mems
Christian Association building, last
night, the occasion being the tenth OF
the series of Thursday night addresses
now being conducted by the associa-
ton Taking up the history of the
islands with the coming Of Captain
Cooke, Mr.. Smith spoke in part as
follows:
Il would name as the three agenc-
les which brought modern civilization
and development to the Hawaiian is
lands; the teacher, the missionary
and the men of commerce. The teach
er and the missionary went hand in
hand coming here at the same time
and carrying on their work of enlight-
enment side by side as was the
scheme of missionary projects at
that time. A large factor in the de-
yelopment of the islands was the I'M
selfish and public spirited work of the
white men carrying on trade on each
of the islands. BY deyoting time and
energy to the help of the kings who
sought to improve the conditions of
their people and by setting an exam
pie in their own conduct there men
rendered large service. Among the
men who should be honored in
this connection Iswould name as
examples, William l.. Lee and
! Charles r. Bishop, the former hav.
ing been the first to codify and ar
range the laws OF the monarchy and
thus perfect in some measure legal
proceedings"
Mr.. Smith paid a high tribute to
the native race, their fidelity. sense
of justice and inherent dignity. He
spoke of how the Hawaiians took in the
affairs of government. especially the
court and jury procedure. An anus
ing incident of man who was being
tried for beating his wife and who
made his defense by showing: first,
that there was no doubt but what she
deserved the punishment he had ad,
minfstered; and second, did It not say
in the Bible that man and his wife
were of zone flesh?D Then how could
he be prosecuted for whipping him
self?
The people of these islands have
an opportunity to set an illustrious
example in our solution of the social
ed race problems of the world" he
said.
In our dealings with. all of the vari-
Gus nationalities that We have living
together. here, | would urge that we
refuse ever to apply the terms of In
ferior' or superior to any of the races
but that we accept the designation OF

cording to their development Orien.
tai and occidental have attained what.
ever present status they may have as.
a result of advantages under which
they have been placed. All men, no
matter what speech or color, appear
to have fundamental qualities and
abilities much the same and we
should judge them only by the way
in which they respond to their oppor-
tunities. The man who assumes 4
pride or dignity ID his own race and
as intolersnt with peoples who have
had lesser advantages is narrow mind

able and wholesome If we recognize
the right we have to assume It. 5

CHANGE IN ROOF
OF WESTMINSTER
HALL DISCOVERED
IBy Latest NALL

LONDON.-Some serious signs of
decay in the wood work of Westmin-
ster hall have been discovered in the
course of an exhaustive examination
of the structure undertaken by the Of
fee of works. Fortunately not very
great portion of the timber is affected,
and repairs can be carried out with
! out interfering with the beauty of the
old wood work
This roof is regarded as the finest
specimen extant of Gothic open tim
Der roof. The original Westminster
hall was built by William Rufus in
1897, but the present structure with
It's famous roof was not completed
until 1909. The present overhauling
is probably the first that has taken
place since its erection, although
from time to time, the ribs and
beams have been repaired when it was
seen to be necessary.
The mischief now to be arrested is
at work where the wall posts touch
the wall, or where the beams and
posts cross one another Most of the
damage was found towards the north
ern end of the building. The work of
examination of the roof has been car
ried cut under the direction of Mr..
Baines, the architect of the ancient
monuments and historical buildings

to be formed to consider the best me-
tnod of dealing with the work of re-
storation.

that the existing tramways were ceas-

CAEADA's ORIENTAL QUESTION

Though the Japanese question referring
to the land-ownership controversies apparent
ly sleeping, there are beginning to come from
Canada reports indicating that Great Britain
may soon be facing the question that Uncle Sam
is facing.
The feeling between Canadians and Orientals
in British Columbia is becoming acute, it is said
by no less an authority than the Canadian cor
respondent of the London Times The first sign
of crisis came few weeks ago when the exec.
utiye committee of fruitgrowers and truck
farmers in the Okanogan district passed a reso-
luton excluding Orientals from holding stock in
any of the local associations This boycott the
Chinese were organizing to resist, say later re-
ports.
British Columbia seems to be approaching the
Japanese question by way of the Chinese first
The Chinese have long been residents in this
province, but it was not until a few years agp
that the Japanese began to come in A great
many we're brought from Japan to work upon
railroads.
There is a factor in the Canadian situation
that is absent in California Many Of the Chi
nese in British Columbia are naturalized Brit
ish subjects and keenly resent the discrimination
against them. Some Canadians object to the
Orientals as Understandable Thus the Toronto
Globe, always conservative, says:
The real objection the Chinese is that while they
much the whites they are poor spenders
Instead of living upon the same scale the Occi-
dental they hoard their profits that day they
may retire to China to Hongkong as capitalists.
The Oriental the Pacific coast does not assimi-
late with the white, and he did seek to do So
racial prejudice would prevent intemarriage with
the white population, without which assimilation be-
comes impossible 1t is most unfortunate that the
fertile fruit and truck farms of interior British Co
lumba have begun develop the racial troubles that
have long been acute in the cities of the coast
The cautious comment of the London Times
is this:
Manifestly there is, and will be. common feeling
in British Columbia and the western Pacific states
against Asiatc emigration, Asatic labor and Asiatic
competition in agriculture and in Industrial opera
tions.
1t is to be hoped that Canada's troubles do
not further involve the United States The adj
ministration and the japanese government are
now endeavoring to settle the controversy ami
cably and satisfactorily to both sides, and are
proceeding slowly but surely to that end.

SCHoFIELD BARRACKS, Aug. Is.
Accidents have been the order of the
day for the past week in the Twenty
fifth Infantry. On Thursday Private
Rawls of B company had a miracu-
lous escape when his rifle exploded
during the field firing of his company.
While engaged in firing, a cartridge
failed t. explode, due, no doubt, to a
faulty primer, and when Rawls turn
ed the bolt of his piece to investigate,
the cartridge exploded, blowing the
entire stock from the piece and driv-
ing the small arms oiler,a which is
held in slot at the butt, into the
mans chest.
The bolt itself was smashed into
two pieces. Some idea of the force
suddenly turned loose in the wrong
direction can be understood when it
is recalled that the barrel of the rifle
is required to stand strain Of about
fifty thousand foot pounds per inch.
Private Rawls is still confined in the
hospital with the wound in the chest
and a badly inflamed eye from the

where he served two years as govern
or at Tutuila, the Admiral is off on
the subject nearest to his heart. The
lecture will be Illustrated by many
scenes from the Admiral's collection
which has been many years in the
making. Unfortunately, the seating
capacity of the amusement hall, large
as it is, will not provide accommoda-
lions for more than small part of the
audience that would attend otherwise.

this going on than was the case ten

with the coming Of the dry farm

in the state for beef there has been a
great deal more killing of cattle on
