PATRIOTISM IN CONVENTION.

From the Public Ledger.
Conventions Of patriotic societies,
whatever their vital differences or
their origins, can easily meet on a
common ground this year and exalt
that type Of Americanism that be-
lieves in tolerance and broad charity
for those not of the same way Of think
ing in all things. The very essential
OF an abiding Americanism Is to re-
member that ones own rights end
where another's begin. There can be
no hyphenism among those who sub.
scribe to this safe and sound doc
trine. Philadelphia, which is easily
the most American of cities, will nat
urally give the delegates to the jubilee
convention Of the Patriotic Order Sons
Of America a hearty welcome, since 1t
stands for those things that make for
real service to the community and the
country. Indeed, orders of this char.
acter have a special ;.;ork to perform
at all times; but today, when the ques-
ton Of the .Iore certain assimilation
Of those who seek our shore is upper
most in the public mind, they have
signal duties as Americans, as well as
rights as citizens, to perform.
In this matter we should all be as
one. All those things that tend to mar
row the ideas as to what citizenship
should mem or as to who should or
should not be admitted to the priv.
ileges Of citizenship should be forgot.

1t is altogether fitting that the defence Of the Wilson
administration in the lower house Of Congress should
be undertaken by a Representative from Mississippi-a
state which is Democratic mainly because Of statutes
which do not permit the colored Republicans to vote
or to have their votes counted. Moreover. it is the
South which has furnished the votes in Congress to
pass the measures which Wilson has advocated and 1t
Is the South which has provided the chairmen for the
committees who have framed these measures and who
have drafted the gag rules" under which the bills
have been passed. Hence 1t is the obvious thing for the
south-which. in addition, has been the chief beneh-
ciary Of the Wilson regime-to come to Wilson's de-
fence.

Wheeling's proposed baby show has been abandoned
because of the general feeling of uneasiness throughout
the country in regard to the spread of infantile paraly-
Sis. Two years ago the authorities were closing the
cattle and live stock shows because Of the foot and
mouth disease. Pretty soon the complaint Of some
people that more time and money is devoted to COM
batting hog cholera than goes into the conservation
of the crop Of babies will not be well founded.

SALARY BILL
FOR DOLE SURE.
TO PASS-COKE

That the Dole retirement bill, pro-
viding that federal judges in the Ter
ritory of Hawaii shall have the same
rights to pensions after they are 20
years of age that federal judges on
the mainland do, has been approved
by the committee on territories and
will pass, was stated this afternoon
by James L. Coke, senator for Oahu,
who returned today on the Great
Northern after a months stay on
the mainland.
There seems to be no doubt but
that the free sugar clause will be
repealed he adds, 'and that it will
be passed nicely" The senator says
bill reorganizing the entire military
system of the United States will soon
be introduced, and that it will provide
for federalizing the National Guard
and securing pay for members of the
National Guard of Hawaii.
Senator Coke this afternoon called
on his friend, Collector of Customs
Malcolm A. Franklin, and had a long
chat with him.

GAME FISHING
BOAT ARRIVES
ON HILLLINER
First Boat Built for Game Fish
ing to Come to Hawaii; Will
Go to HaleiWa

As result OF the active campaign
carried on by James W. Jump of Los
Angeles and f. X. Burnham of Marti-
nez, Cal, to promote and introduce
game fishing to the mainland people,
the first game fishing boat ever
brought to the islands arrived this
morning on the Great Northern.
The new boat is named the Crete,
and is one of the best boats for game
fishing that was in use at Catalina is
land last year. II was brought over
by Captain Mardon, who is well
known fisherman around Avalon. The
Crete is especially arranged for game
fishing, and has every feature that
is needed.
Itfhas deep cock pit, "a side chair
especially fitted for landing big fish,
and on the back deck are leather poe.
kets for the placing of the pole. There
are many other features that will ap.
peal to the fisherman, and Captain
Mardon is confident that this boat
will meet the requirements of the
most critical game fisherman
Captain Mardon has arranged with
the Haleiwa hotel people to keep the
Crete there to be placed in use for
fishing parties leaving from that point.
This is the first step in bringing game
fishing boats here, and according to
the present fishermen in the city will
result in more of the boats being
placed in use around Oahu making
Haleiwa a second Catalina.

DR.. Charles w. Mayo, one of the world
famous Mayo Brothers, surgeons, of
Rochester, Minnesota, who arrived on
the Great Northern this morning,
gives his hearty approval of plans for
a Baby Week in Honolulu, to reduce
infant mortality in this city through
a campaign of education.
Although | do not KNOW any de-
tails of the Baby Week campaign in
Honolulu, l do know that similar ef-
forts are being made throughout the
entire United States, says DR.. Mayo,
who is one of the most eminent sur
geons in America. ".
IF we are going to save people we
must begin with the babies. In the
East they are doing it--in fact, over
the entire country. In the saving Of
the lives of babies is where the great
est advance has been made in medi-
cine in recent years. -
While medical science has been
able to add number of years to the
average length of human life, this has
been accomplished by the saving of
children's lives, not adding years to
the lives of adults.
Progress In 80 Years.
In the last 100 years the average
length of human life has been extend
ed from IL to 20 years, varying accord
ing to the locality 1t is in the last
80 years. however, that the most pro-
gress has been toward the saving of
babies and children's lives
DR.. Mayo says this is his first trip
to the islands, and that he and Mrs.
Mayo are going to see as much of
them as possible between now and
Thursday night, when they will re-
turn to the mainland on the Great
Northern. DR.. Mayo declared Kilauea
