THE NEW EPISCOPAL CHAPEL. ST
MARGARETS

Ground was broken May 18th for an Episco-
pal chapel at the corner of Court and Elm
streets. Services had been held during the
summer for some years past in the North
church when it was decided to build a chapel
and the lot was bought. Then when public
fairs, private sales and private donations had
provided building fund sufficient to warrant
the undertaking the committee in charge, of
which Hon. James P Taliaferro of Jackson
vile. Fla. and Belfast is chairman, contracted
for the building. R. w. Porter of Boston and
Port Clyde was the architect, W. E. Hatch of
lslesboro, the builder. Cooper & Co. furnished
the lumber, and Mathews Bros the inside and
outside finish and flooring. The foundation is
of stone and the superstructure of wood. The
half-tone above was made from the architects

architecture and proportions.
The main building is "a by 60 feet with
seating capacity of 100. 1t faces Elm street
but the main entrance, shown in the illustra-
tion, is from Court street, and when the
grounds are graded semi circular driveway
will be made on that side. There is a cellar
under the vestry at the rear and west side of
che building, but none under the main building.
At the rear is the altar, chancel and altar rail
and on the left the organ space and choir, and
adjoining is the entrance to the vestry, a. 6 by
II feet, out of which opens the robing room.
There is an outside entrance to the vestry,
which is ceiled overhead and walls ceiled. The
chapel walls are ceiled to the caves, leaving a
two foot air space and the roof is of open
timber work. The floors and walls are fin

the wood work is left in the natural colors
There are maple trees on the Elm street side
and October 1st Carolina popIars will arrive
for planting on the Court street side and in
tne rear barberry and other shrubs will be set
out this season and it is planned to have wood

THE RIGHT TO SPEAK.

In ordering the reinstatement of postal
official removed because he criticised the
presidents engagement, Mr.. Wilson has
brought the incident to national attention and
perhaps given it undeserved notoriety -
a notoriety which must be distasteful to the
president as well as his ifancee But he has
also emphasized the fact that this is a country
of free speech, ruled over by no sovereign who
muzzIes his subjects and that citizen has
just as much right to utter his mind concern
ing his president as concerning his next-door
neighbor.
1t has not yet come to the point where man
who comments upon the presidents engage
ment to Mrs. Gait is guilty of lese-majesty
Nor is there any legal justification for the re-
noval Of public official who passes such COM
ments, His punishment, if he offends good
taste, must be in the hearty contempt of his
acquaintance; if he is guilty of Islander, there
is remedy at law. The office of president is
an exalted one and its incumbent is entitled to
the honor that goes with the office, but there is
nothing in the constitution of these United
States, the usage of one hundred and forty
years of republican government or the temper
Of free people to put on our utterances as citi-
zens the muzzles which European autocrats
place on their hard-disoiplined subjects.

and otherwise reflected on his char
acter.
That the case may last for a week
or even longer Is the opinion of law
yers. Whether the article Of which
Lum complains Is libelous will depend
on whether Editor Sun wrote IL or
took it from another paper, whether
he meant Ching Lum when he re-
ferred to Ching. and on the transla-
ton Of the Chinese symbols into Eng
lish. Many expert witnesses will be
called and there will probably be

"The authority to control immigration to
admit or exclude aliens is vested solely in the
federal government. The assertion of an an
thority to deny to aliens the opportunity of
earning livelihood when lawfully admitted
to the state would be tantamount to the asser-
tion of the right to deny them entrance and
abode, for in ordinary cases, they cannot live
where they cannot work. :
'tAnd if such policy were permissible, the
practical result would be that those lawfully
admitted to the country would be segregated
in such of the states as chose to offer hos
pitality.''

POLITICS AS SERVICE.

A recent talk by DR.. David Starr Jordan,
president emeritus of Stanford University,
upon the responsibilities oficitizenship, applies
as much here in Honolulu as to the American
nation generally. He said in part:
eff we redeem our political life, we must set
our politics to doing the things we want done.
To this end we must reconcile the two diverg,
ing needs of democracy individual freedom
and expert service. We must manage our own
affairs because they are ours. We must have
the highest skill to do this, else it will not be
done Alright. TO reconcile these two primal
needs is the great art of democratic statesman
ship It is process which will not do itself,
and it is the basis of the great fundamental
problem of the administration of the affairs Of
nation"

BLAME KITCHENER. !"

To put the case in the expressive if unrefned
slang of the day, Lord Kitchener is the goat
of this occasion of unreioicing among the
Allies.
Germany took Antwerp. Blame Kitchener.
The British retreated at Mons. Blame
Kitchener.
The French haven made any marked pro-
gress In Lorraine. Blame Kitchener.
The Zeppelins are bombarding Paris. Blame
Kitchener.
The German feet hasn't apparently taken
any notice of Winston ChurchilIs dare to
s'come out and fight" Blame Kitchener.
Heavy explosives were lacking at the proper
time in several offensive moves. Blame Kitch-
ener.
Bulgaria went over to the Teutons Blame
Kitchener.
The DardanelIes nut is still uncracked.
Blame Kitchener.
And so on down the long list of things which
haven't been done, or which, having been tried,
went the wrong way.
The excessive criticism against the hero of
Khartoum, the idol of last fall, the model
spdier Of the last ten years, arises from
British depression over apparent failures. And
yet history fails to record the name of a gen.
eral whose career was not sometimes furrowed
with defeat Hannibal, Caesar, Alexander,
William the Conquerer, Cromwell, Napoleon,
Grant they had their reverses. They had
their dark and bitter hours.
In that now-famous land repudiated) inter-
view with the American correspondent, Irwin
S. Cobb, Kitchener said the war would last
three years 1t has not yet passed the halfway
post. III the meantime the British feet rules
the seas controls trans oceanic trade-routes,
and without CONSUMPTION three million soldiers
have been raised and are being welded into
tremendous armies, while enormous stores OF
munitions are being made ready. Kitchener,
Of courses hasn4 done it all, but he has done
much. From outside observation it seems as if
q lifetime of military training had moulded
him into too much of the martinez; that the
British military censorship for which he is pri-
marily responsible has largely defeated the
moves to awaken the British to realizing
sense of their national danger; that not enough
advantage has been taken of the offers of bust
nessmen early IN the war to place their plants
at the disposalof the war office But to make
Kitchener the goat for everything that has
not brought Immediate success to British arms
is grossly unfair.

AN ANT1-ALIEN Law KNOCKED OUT.

recent United States supreme court decis-
ion knocking out the anti-alien labor law of
Arizona has been taken by some observers as
having possible relation to judicial action on
the California land ownership law The two,
however, are fundamentally different That
the Arizona.law has been declared unconstitu-
tional is no Indication whatever of the possible
illegality of the California law.
The Arizona law was put on the statute
books a year ago by the people under the in
itiative plan of legislation In brief it required
employers Of more than FIVE persons to employ
not less than so pefocent qualified electors or
citizens. The case whichSW to the supreme
court was that of an Austrian cook who was
notified that he would be discharged and
promptly appealed to the courts. He won in
the Arizona court and the state appealed the
case
this Austrian s constitutional rights as an alien
were violated by the operation of the law and
that he was entitled to an injunction prevent
ing state officials from enforcing the act
So much for the facts in the case. The SUI
preme court decision which was written by
Justice Hughes and concurred in by all the
bench but Justice McReynolds, is well worth
quoting from, since it lays down broad prin-
ciple of true Americanism:
cit is sought to justify this act as an exer-
else Of the power of the state to make reason
able classi6cations in legislating to promote
the health, safety, morals and welfare of those
within its jurisdiction. But this admitted au-
thority with the broad range of legislative dis
erection that it implies, does not go so far as to
make It possible for the state to deny to lawful
inhabitapts because Of their race or nationality
