IT is apparent that the Hon. Davis
Elkins does not think very highly OF the
Hon. Virgil Highland, Republican leader
in West Virginia II will be recalled that
Mr.. Elkins held the proxy OF Hon. William
Seymour Edwards as member OF the
National Republican Committee, and that
Mr.. Highland by a slick bit OF political
trickery made it null and void by getting
for himself a certificate as committeeman
from the State Republican Committee.
Mr.. Highlands credentials proved good
at the recent meeting OF the national COM
mittee in Washington, whereat Mr.. Elklns
seems bit sore. In an interview a few
days ago he made these pointed, not to
say unkind, remarks:
al regret very much that William Sey-
mour Edwards, who was the unanimous
choice of the people of West Virginia for
member OF the Republican National Com
mittee, should have been summary re-
moved from that committee without an
opportunity TO be heard and when he was
too i'll TO defend his rights in the case.
Those who were responsible for the act
will be held accountable for il by tue Re-
publcans OF West Virginia. The under
handed methods used in selecting Virgil
Highland for his place certainly will react
on those responsible for them and the
Progressive element OF the party will
never forgive Governor Hatfield, Virgil
L. Highland and Sherman c. Denham:
II committeeman had to be chosen, |
think he should have been elected at the
June primary instead OF by the methods
used"

The annual report OF the Secretary oil
the Treasury shows that during the past
year the production of distilled liquors
was AZ, AIT ,492 gallons less than the pre-
vlous year, and there was decrease OF
6,3S1 ,263 barrels OF beer as compared
with the preceding year. These officia
figures show very plainly whether or not
prohibition is prohibiting.
The fact is, the efforts of the temper
ance forces TO educate the people to the
fearful evils of the liquor business are
bearing fruit, and the wretched traffic is
steadily declining.

1T makes us laugh to read that Mayor
Breeze tried to prevent the production OF
"The Birth of Nation" in Charleston,
this State. We have always thought that
Charleston could stand almost anything,
and that il should balk at this famous
show is real funny. "The Birth OF a
Nation" is not only the most beautiful and
thrilling moving picture show that has
ever been produced; il is an instructive
historical drama that ought TO be seen by
all who would know the facts OF recon-
struction days in the South. To our
mind if is no more reflection upon the
colored race than the portrayal OF the evil
deeds OF white men is a reflection on the
white race. II is striking expose OF the
vicious politicians and carpetbeggers who
came near destroying the South after the
war by using ignorant colored men as
their tools, aud we believe that it is good
TO place il before this generation.
The objections of Mayor Breeze, by
the way, were of no avail, for Judge Little
page has given legal authority Tor the
production OF the picture.

he will not stick at the methods OF OBJ
tanning it. 1t has leaked out that he at

where he met number OF Wall Street
magnates-high financiers who are in the
habit ofbuying anything they want, from a

said that the plans were laid TO have him

BALTIMORE has been shocked by the
publication OF the report OF its Vice Com
mission, which reveals an appalling con-
dition of vice and immortality. The Sit
uation is one that makes respectable per-
sons almost despair, for the evils are so
widespread and so migrated that there
seems no hope that genuine reform can
be worked out.
And yet. after all, the solution is simple.
The liquor traffic is the very foundation
OF this horrible state OF sfiairS-the hun
dreds OF saloons are the instigation of al
most all the crimes and degradation.
Whenever Baltimore has the courage TO
wipe out completely the accused liquor
traffic in city and State the community
can be cleaned up-indeed, automatically
very large part OF the vice so unhappily
revealed will be eliminated. Step the
pollution at the fountain head-the sd
loon--and the cleaning-up process will
be comparatively easy.

1T looks 10 US as if the tidal wave for a
vast navy and army and the expenditure
of enormous sums of money 70: prepared
ness in the United States has passed its
flood and is now receding. Sober second
thought is showing the people that a very
considerable part OF the iurore has been
raised by army and navy people who
would flourish most when the spirit OF
militarism is greatest and by the manu-
facturers who expect to be enriched by
fat contracts for munitions OF war. Few
persons believe that there is any danger
of war with any of the great nations OF
the earth, for when the present European
war is over they will all be too exhausted
10 think OF another conflict. The next
generation may possibly find it necessary
to prepare for war. but there's no occa-
sion for il now.
The policy of preparedness has brought
on the fearful struggle that is now running
Europe. The adoption OF similar policy
is the most likely thing to bring trouble
to the United States.

Battle OFF CHILE
Is REPORTEDB BY
kIY0 MARU

That the Japanese cruiser Asatna.
the Dresden and perhaps another Ger.
man war vessel had an engagement
off the coast of Chile is the belief to-
day expressed by some of those N the
Togo Kisen Kaisha liner kiYo Maru.
which steamed to an anchorage off
the port early this morning. awaiting
pratique before proceeding to Hilo.
The Kiyo Maru left Yokohama with
large general cargo, 900 tons Of
which will be delivered at the Hawaii
port. Before leaving the coast OF Ja-
pan the Kiyo Maru men were told
that a battle between German and
Japanese vessels had taken place.
The result was left IN doubt. When
told today that the Asama had been
reported wrecked off Cedros island
off the Mexican coast, the impression
prevailed that the cruiser may have
beaehed there.
No date is set for the departure OF
the Kiyo Maru from Hilo for Mexican,
Central and South American ports. It
steamed for Hilo this afternoon, TAX
ing number OF federal customs in
spectors who will look after the dis.
charge of the Oriental cargo.
The Kiyo Maru Is reported to have
met with an uneventful trip in cross
ing the Pacific. This vessel. it is I'M
derstood. will inaugurate the new T.
X. X. service which includes call at
San Diego. or San Pedro before re-.
turning to Honolulu and the Far East.
