KoREAs DREAM OF INDEPENDENCE.

No American with the glorious history Of his
eountrys fight for independence welded into the
fiber-of his being can Lelp but sympathize-of
would wish not 10 sympathize-with Korea s
dreams of independence, but every American &c
quainfed with the situation in The Orient must ad
nit that the dreams are scarce likely of reaza
ton.
Only tremendous political upheaval in the ORR
;ent with Japan the defeated nation in mighty
war, would afford the Koreans chance TO attain
this dream Of independence. AT present the mill

Korea is being Japanized, not only in government
but in geographical names, in organization of in
dnstry in schools, in churches, in local politics.
Every years that passes gives Japan frmer hold
on Korea just every year that passes sees Japan
expanding her power in China and Mongolia. The

he for Koreans TO rise in war of independence"
They have no army, no navy, munitions factories
no merchant fleets, national funds small private
resources Japan has all in abundant measure. and
Japan will never allow the beginning of a military
organization for Koreans.
Out Of MISUNDERSTANDING political status of the
Orient, patriotic Koreans may construct an mag
ined situation when China would rise and shake off
Japanese influence, defeat Japan in a decisive war
on land and sea, aud, as part of the price of con
quest demand territorial concessions from Toxic
There might come about situation when Japan
would be forced out of Korea but this is so mprob

II the funds now being collected i'll Hawaii are
for military organization of revolutionary Koreans
The effort may well be regarded as impfacticable,
desperate, doolped to defeat. Far better to contIi

support Of schools, to the spread Of religion among

hate, prejudice ignorance and weakness which made
Korea nationally an easy prey when attacked by a
slIong and united enemy.

CALIFORNIA BACKING HUGHES.

Victory for the Progressive Republicans in the
California state central committee reorganization
was to be expected after the tremendous triumph of
Hiram johnson few weeks ago in the senatorial
nomination contest. .~.
The ProgTessyes in California have virtually alb
sorbed the sandpat, old.line Republican organiza-
ton, and by the Johnson victory progressivsm in
the Golden State sounded mighty trumpet-bare
throughout the nation. 1t was evident then that
the standpatters could net win when opposed by
Johnson's steam-roIler, which is made up of huge
popularity in the state and well-oed political
machinery. ..=
What is most Important, outside California, in
the victory of the Progressves is that they have
come out strongly for Charles +. Hughes for pres
dent. johnson followed Roosevelts lead in espous
ing the Hughes cause. The Republican candidate
made a disappointing impression when he toured
The state, and there were persistent endeavors on
the part of his enemies to show that he had alien
sated Progressive support by refusing to take the
Progressive side of the senatorial contest. - ="
The Endorsement Of Hughes by the reorganzed
Republican coInmittee-composed of Progressives
headed by Chester Rowel-is the answer to these
endeavors. 1t is also prophesy that in November
Hughes will sweep California. =
Francis j. Heney, the irreconcilabe fre-eater, is
still trying to show that the California Moosers
have turned by thousands to Wilson but his is a
lonesome voice and every indication points to big
Republican victory in California next month.
During the last few weeks Honolulu has seen
some of the finest polo in the long history Of this
splendid game in Hawaii. Every match has been
hard fought every team has shown brillance, cour-
age and good craftsmanship and virtually every
contest has been an upset of the "dope" Surprises
have been heaped surprises, fine playing has fol-
lowed fine playing both offense and defense And,
what is quite as important as the high standard of
the competition, is the fact that the field at
Kapiolani Park has proved it's popularity. For
wears polo leaders have looked forward to a field
close enough to the city to the patronage OF
the general public without the expense for auto fare
of attending games at Moanalua. The field has
finally been constructed and hundreds, probably
thousands, of polo enthusiasts made by the re
cent tournament. Next year should see much
! larger attendance of the ''bleacher fans"

A Fight for Humanity.

1t is good news that 100000 has been
raised toward the 81 100000 fund which is
required to establish foundation for the
work Of the Henry Street Settlement. The
balance should be forthcoming speedily.
Among the many splendid philanthropic
institutions of this city there is none which
Goes finer service for human beings, none
which returns a better interest on the eX-
penditure. both for the individual and the
community, than this system of district
nursing in the patients homes established
twenty years ago by Miss Lillian ID. Wald.
This work is so excellent that it should be
removed from the somewhat precarous
condition Of being maintained by devoted
few. 1t should be placed on the firm basis
Of an assured income suitable to the ever
growing needs Of the community and the
Overwhelming activities Of the Settlement.

Twenty years ago, when the generosity

Apples have very good reputation, but the

Sir: The editorial in Tho Tribune en-
titled Socialists in the Cabinet" points ont
that Burleson ia perfectly consistent With
tho socialis,ic rolcies Of the Wilson adj
ministration in recommending government
ownership Of the telegraph and telephone
systems. That the Wilson McAdoo ship put-
chase bill is far more socialistic IN principle
is q point well taken.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson must also be
included amongst the socialists IN the Cabi-
net. for he is hsnd-n-g glove with the Com
pers crowd and he is responsible for the
socialistic Clayton act. which exenpts labor
unions from prosecution under the Sher-
man antitrust law and legalizes strikes.

Federal Quarantine Service.

The taking over Of quarantine duties at
me Port Of New York by the Federal gov
ernment is a step which must obtain gen
eral approval. The Treasury Department
has long favored the transfer, and Gov
crnor Whitman. who advocated it in his
annual message to the Legislature, has
been in communication with the Federal
authorities for months arranging the pres
ent temporary transfer.
Maintenance of the state quarantine
service was an anomaly, costly and gen
orally unsatisfactory. Governor Whitman
has estimated that by the new arrange
ment the state Will profit about 100000 a
year. This change will bring every port
in the country, save Baltimore, under the
Federal Health Service. 1t will mean, &C
cording TO the Treasury Department, uni

ping interests. feXibiity in requirements.

from all branches Of government Health
protection is a national function, espe-
clally at this great port, the gateway to
the country. 1t can be better performed
by the Federal department than by state
service with limited resources, subsisting
IN part on troublesome and outgrown fee
system. and with, at best, only a divided
authority.
To complete this transfer, only tempo
