THE CAMPAIGN UPON US.

Few except the perennial politicians il
Hawaii realize that already the national presl
Dental campaign is in full swing. Such Re
publican candidates as Weeks of Massachu
sets and Burton of Ohio can be put in the
''avowed" class, while among the ''receptives'
are Root of New York, Fairbanks of Indiana
Borah of Idaho, HadIey of Missouri and Sher
man of Illinois.
Several of the candidates and nearcandi
dates have already built up strong organiza
tons. Two or three tentative attempts have
already been made to secure the Hawaii dele
cation that will go to the national convention
next June. Whether the territory gets six or
two votes, the delegation will be valuable, for
the convention is likely to split half dozen
ways on the first ballot Unless there is a
sudden landslide to one candidate, through the
skirmishing and maneuvering that will follow
even vote of two will be good for trading
purposes.
1t is only nine weeks now until the first of
the state presidential primaries is held. Min
nesota opens the ball with primary on March
IA. North Dakota follows on March y. South
Dakota is third, the date being April 4, and the
other April dates so far set are: Iowa, April
10, and Nebraska, April %; California then
takes hand with primary on May 9.
number of states will probably hold April
primaries but have not set the exact date These
include Illinois, Wisconsin, Oregon Pennsyl
yania, Massachusetts and New Hampshire,
and sometime in May that Mother of Pres-
dents, - Ohio will hold its primary. In states
where delegates to the convention are not
chosen by the primary method the old method
of state convention will of course continue
While Justice Hughes of the Z. S. supreme
court has steadfastly declined to allow his
name to be used as candidate, he has grown
steadily stronger and it is no mere conjecture
that the convention might stampede for him
on the second ballot, after all the favorite but
impossible sons have been duly honored by a
complimentary vote. Before that time some
Republican of standing will undoubtedly go
to Mr.. Hughes and endeavor of find out if the
justice would accept such nomination 1t
Hughes absolutely refuses, a stampede which
is usually prearranged anyway might prob
ably be averted, but no real politician could
bring himself to believe any man in earnest
who declined presidential nomination.

is typical. perhaps, of the views held by the
majority of the educated Chinese:
such short sighted diplomacy on the part
of the three great nations is bound to create
future international discord and lead to ever
lasting disturbances of the political equilibrium
of the Orient. The questions that will imme-
diately come to ones mind are: Will the Eng
fish, Russian and French people be willing to
have all special privileges that they have sue
ceeded in laboriously building up in the last
two decades destroyed by following the selfish
dctation of Japan! After the war, what will
the Englshmen say when they discover that
the japanese have stepped into their shoes and
crowded them out of commercial Asia.
with the Tsng-tau episode as precedent
it is as certain as night follows day that Japan,
using this advice as preteXt, will demand
further concessions and privileges that will
rival the Infamous twenty one demands. Is 1T
possible that the European powers fail to grasp
the real motives behind this latest 'altruistic
peace insuring' movement! Turn on the
searchlight of international publicity to the
dark corners Of japanese diplomacy, read the
writing on the wall, and you may yet save
yourselves from the serious predicament of
having your houses burned through your own
inexcusable fault of blindly following the Jap
anese and indirectly assisting them to consum-
mate their devilish plans. -

Sir: Can il be that the Star Bulle
tin is in earnest when it suggested
that Collector of Customs Malcolm A
Franklin pose as literary censor by
emulat4ng the example of, Collector
/ Eavis of San Francisco and bar the
works Of the immortal Radicals from
entering Honolulu? Perhaps the Star
Bulletin only intended suggestion
that our collector of customs and 9th,
ers might improve their time and
broaden their grasp as to. that which
is literary by going to the fountain

tin believes that we here in Honolulu
should be denied the right OF perusing

and apt stories of the immortal Pan.

Prior to the act of Collector Davis
of San Francisco. did not suppose
that the Bay City had any corner on
professional PuTitans, or was conspiC.
uous for its morals, and | do not be.
lieve that Honolulu has developed a
class of morals that are of such a
fragile nature that we need place a
guardian of them at the waterfront
Rabelais had one of the greatest
creative minds of all ages, and he did
that which could have been done in no
other way-tore off the mask from the
abuses of his time by making them
the subject OF irresistible laughter.
True, there is lot of buffoonery and
rough wit, but that only depicts the
spirit of the times in which he wrote.
Literature did not spring into being
full blown, but has been slow
growth. Human thought of today is
but collection of the wisdom of the
past; and in that past there is no
single author whose works have been
initiated, borrowed from and pillaged
as have Rabelais' Lawrence Stern
but initiated him when he gave us the
biography of the Shandy family, and
Ebert Hubbard derived inspiration
from him when he desired thought
that would form the basis of one of
his two-edged stories. 49,. j..
But this is not intended as a de-
Tense of Rabelais; he needs no defense
as the world of letters has already
paid tribute to his work The thought
l wish to express is, that perhaps it
might be that a man who has been
appointed collector of customs might
not receive with his appointment the
necessary literary requisites to be a
true critic of the classics.

REAssURING LATIN-AMERICA.

If the Pan-American Scientific Congress
which has just closed its meetings in Washing
ton brings no other result, it will go far to
dispe the suspicion with which the Central
and South American republics have viewed
American statecraft.
Not for a decade have the relations between
the northern and southern republics been SO
harmonious and potential for good as they are
today. For years the Panama republic incident
has been pointed to in Latin-America as proof
that the United States is out to grab all the
territoryi it can lay hands on. When President
Taft and President Wilson forbore to inter enc
in MexRo, even after the situation had become
shameful to all patriotic Americans, the fact
was driven home to every country below the
Rio Grande that the United States is not out
for territorial conquest Though the admins
tration's Mexican policy has in many respects
failed to work out satisfactorily, in this i'm
portant respect of reassuring Latin-America, it
has been a real achievement.

Isaac r. Sherwood, the Ohio congressman
who made speech in the house of represent
atves Yesterday counsellng the reduction of
the standing army to $4,000, is one of the best
known of the "penson-pushers" in either
house Sherwood prolific use of pension bills
to help the ''old soldier" vote has been the
subject of much criticism. In fact, his anxiety
to get all the national funds possible into the
pension measures may account for his sudden
zeal for economy in the regular army. That
he is a modest man may be gained from the
fact that in his autobiography in the Con-
gressona Directory, he shyly mentions that he
was I'm 43 battles, was 123 days under fire
and was six times complimented for gallant
conduct in battle and was later honored ''for
