time retaining his residence in Rut.
land. Since closing his work there he
had resided in Rutland.
While DIR. Seaver was pastor in Rut-

the memorial address.

extreme pleasure that ] seize this
privilege of seconding the nomination
of the Hon. Loveland Munson of Man
chester, for the position of Chief JUS
tiee of the Supreme Court of Vermont.
| have known this man from my early
boyhood but known him only to respect,
well-nigh to revere. From his early
manhood he has been placed in politi-
cal position of high honor and trust,
but never through any solicitation up
on his part. The integrity, ability, and
official dignity with which he has so
long held his place upon the bench,
well advances him, now in the prime

Asia to Play important Role In
New Era in World History,
Says Commission

An appeal to Congress and the peo-
pie of the United States for a more
adequate Oriental policy is made in
the following circular which has been
received in Honolulu from the com:
mission on relations with Japan, APP
pointed by the federal council of the
Churches of Christ of America:
1.-The awakening of Asia and her
rapid acquisition of important ele-
ments of occidental civilization inaug-
urates a new era in world-history in
which Asia is to play new and In
creasingly important role. Whether
that role shall be one of peace, good
will and mutual cooperation, or one
controlled by increasing suspicion and
fear between the East and the West
will depend largely on the attitude of
the western nations themselves.
1T has seemed to many of our citi-
zens who have become familiar with
the questions raised by this more in
innate and ever increasing contact
with the Orient that the United
States might well adopt a more ade-
auate Oriental policy. Therefore, be
1t +. ~: *
Resolved, that the commission on
relations with Japan appointed by the
Christ in America urge upon Con-
gress and upon the people of the
United. States the importance OF
adopting an Oriental policy based
upsn just and equitable regard for
the interests of all the nations con-
cerned, and to this end suggests that
Federal Council of the Churches of
the entire immigration problem be
taken up at an early date, providing
for comprehensive legislation covering
all phases of the question (such as
the limitation of immigration and the
registration, distribution, employment,
education and naturalization of immi-
grantsD in such a way as to conserve.
American institutions, to protect Amer
lean labor from dangerous economic
competition, and to promote an intel
ligent and enduring friendliness
among the people of all nations
DR.. Doremus Scudder, pastor of Cen.
trail Union church. who is a member
of the commission, recently returned
from the mainland, where he took

Breuihes From The
Anti-Saloon League

The Anti-SalOon League Of Hawaii
this week is publishing the first OF
what is hoped will be irregular month
ly~ issue of temperance items. One.
half OF this twO-page sheet is printed
in Westerville,F Ohio, and forwarded
to the league by the local w. C. T. u.
society. 1t. contains the latest TEN.
perance items from the East The
other side is printed here, the arti.
cles or items being furnished by the
superintendent Of the Anti-Saloon
League of Hawaii, in Honolulu.
The office of the league was clos,
ed Wednesday afternoon as a token OF
respect to the late DR.. w. P. Fergu
son, principal Of Mills School. His
loss is deeply felt by the league, as
he was an earnest, efficient and we'll
beloved member and ever ready to
help. He was a member of the legis
ence and clear insight into legal mat
tiers made his opinions of more than
ordinary value.
The league has received four poster
boards on which will appear at diff
ferent times and places the latest edu
eational and statistical items showing
the value of temperate living, and also
a case for the office for filing tracts
posters and various kinds of the latest
temperance literature, which will be
kept constantly on hand for distribu
ton. These poster boards and the
case for filing literature were both
presented to the league by the Mills
School, and the league wishes at this
time" to express through the Star-Bul
letin its appreciation.
1--WE are frequently told that the IL
quor traffic in Honolulu is run as de,
Gently as anywhere, but even that
is not saying much, says DR.. J. w,
Wadman. Nevertheless, it is a very
common thing to see men drunk on
the street cars, especially late al
night. A few days ago a man STUN.
bled off the car so drunk he could
not get to the sidewalk and had to
be picked up and helped out of the
road. Yesterday three men, two OF
them too drunk to walk straight, went
to sal1bn on Hotel street. If they
were too drunk to walk straight when
they went in, what were they like
when they came out? The fact is, the
liquor traffic is not rtE decently in
Honolulu or anywhere else, and every
man that is in it will tell you he is
glad he is ont of It as soon as he
gets into any other business.
II see that the police judge is do.
ing his shanes breaking up joy-riding
by giving a drunken chauffeur a fine
of $50 and five days in Jail. 1t seems
to US that is a mild punishment for a
man who is placing tbe lives of in.
noeent men, women and children in
jeopardy. He ought to at least have
his license revoked for one year"
