'Yua,, Shih-Kai

THE death of Yuan Shih-kai, President of
- China, by the hand of an assassin removes
from the difficult Oriental situation a man who
has strongly impressed his individuality upon the
times in which he lived. His demise probably
will tend to bring revolution and anarchy to
close, for however much he did for China in the
hrst years of his aScendency, it apparent to
all the world that his period Of public beneaction
had ceased.
Yuan Shih-kai had lost the confidence of the
Chinese people and had opened the door to armed
revolt Province after province had forsworn al
leg:ence to the Picking government, and the rela-
tons OF the new Republic with Japan had more
than once neared the breaking point Intrigue
had supplanted fair-deang. Oriental diplomacy
had created a network of craft and Discrimination
which enmeshed all who approached this ruler in
overseas affairs
Oh the man himself much has been written He
first became prominent in Chinese affairs when
IN 1910 he raised an army of fifty thousand SOL
diefs, infantry, cavalry, artillery and engineers,
trained them in European drill and tactics, and
maintained them out of his own private purse 1t
was this army Of Mukden under the leadership of
Yuan Srih-kai that finally enabled him to domi-
neer the affairs of the Republic and assume the
reins OF government. His later course of action
Indicated that he neither understood the mette of
MS own loHoWerS nor mad any Just appreciation
OF the dreams and aspirations of the men who led
the revolution.
And so he has passed from the scene of his for
mer brief triumphs by the quick methods of ORR
entail diplomacy, and the Republic of China goes
marching An election would have taken too
long and have cost too much
1t remains to be whether the trade guilds
and commercial interests of Canton and Kwan-
tung will again join allegiance to the north, as it
also remains to be seen whether another strong

Lord Kitchener

StT 7 cannot be true" was the first word from
= every mans lips when the electric spark
flashed the news Of the tragic ending Of Lord
Kitchener, Britain's minister OF war, and his en-
tire staff Yet it was the truth that spoken.
The fortunes Of war" have robbed mankind Of a
striking parsonage, and England of strong pillar
OF defense
Astonishment that his nation had allowed this
military leader and genius to place his life in
jeopardy on the high seas was tempered with the
knowledge that in all probability few were aware
Of his having undertaken the journey.
Kitchener was a law unto himself in his comngs
and goings, and it was this independence of action
that made him the commanding figure in English
affairs during the'la twenty years of his career.
He was first of all soldier to whom the chance
of death was merely one of the fortunes of war.
What the effect of his own ending might have on
the destinies of England was undoubtedly weighed
IN the balance of his own judgement, but having
marked out the line of duty, he marched straight
towards the goal.
A brave soldier and wise one not merely Eng
land, but all the world, mourns for him

A Question of Policy

n HE policy of The Advertiser in fighting the
! legalized sale of alcoholic posons within this
Territory will not be changed to suit the AID Club
or any other civic organization. The communica-
ton reprinted in another column which was read
at the noon luncheon by the secretary of that live
aggregation of businessmen yesterday assumes
that this paper is amenable to influence in its
handling Of this and possibly other questions of
public morality.
The Advertiser is a booster when it knocks
booze 1t will continue to give the widest pub
LEFTY to crimes bred of the whisky bottle until
the little brown jug" and the homcidal jag are
banlshed from these Islands.
This is the policy of this paper and in hewing
to the line it is animated by what we term civic
patriotism-the desire to make Honolulu pros
porous, intelligent, law abiding, cean-lived city,
using the words of Rev George Laughton, the
orator of the day.
Booze breeds crime, poverty and moral turpi-
tude. Its licensed sale in civilized community
is an anachronism. 1t is no more necessary that
the whisky trade should be conducted under what
amounts to government patronage and protection
than that the church should license men to rob.
loot and enslave the custom in the Dark
Ages.

At RAID OF WORK OF
j. S. ARCHITECTS

MELOURNE, Australia, Oct 23.-
When it was decided recently by the
Federal Ministry to revive the archi-
tectural competition for a design for
the Federal Parliament House at Can
berra (the Commonwealth capital
site), which was suspended in Sep
tember 1914 on account of the out
break of the war, Australian archi-
tects declared this was practically
giving the thing to the United States. ~
By this was meant the advantage held
by Americans in that their nation is
rot at war.
The Victorian Institute of Architects
protested against proceeding with the
competition at present but the Minister
for Home Affairs King O'Malley, a
Canadian who was once New York
bank clerk, replied that the decision
was that of the Cabinet and was unan-
imous; that while some architects
might not be able to compete on ac-
count of the war sufficient talent
should be available to ensure a salts
factory range of designs being sub
mitted
AS announced by Mr.. O'Malley the
terms of the competition are: Designs
must be in by January 81, 1917. A to-
tai sum of $4,000 will be paid in
premiums for the first eight designs,
the first design emitting its author 10
$4,000 The judges will be G. T..
Poole, Australian; Sir John T. Bur-
nett, Great Britain; Victor Laloux,
France; Eliel Saarinen, Russia, and
Louis H. Wagner, Chicago The Min
istry will employ the architect placed
first by the judges for the initial por-
ton of the building but only provis-
ionally for subsequent stages inasmueh
as the construction of the edifice will
be spread over a number of years.
