Editor Honolulu Star-Bnlletin.
Sir. attended the mass meeting
Sunday evening At the Opera House
and listened. This query propose
came foreibly to mind How many
fathers and mothers positively know
where their sons and daughters are at
almost any time OF day or nightg How
many fathers make competitions of
their own sons and are positive that
they know who their sons associate
with and what they are doing and
where they are at night particularly :
How many mothers take their own
daughters into their confidence and
watch over them and throx q guard
around them through life from the
cradle to wedding day? When the
time comes that parents VIII more
closely watch their children and make
their childreh's own home more at

of India to govern itself ultimately and
to do 1t well. The Indians are a Won

of this vast empire are rousing in
remarkable manner from the lethargy
into which they had sunk.

INEVITABLE TARIFF REVISION.

Wages in this country for many years
have been higher than in the other large
producing countries of the world. Agri-
culture, commerce and industry have
grown and prospered under the influence
of great natural resources, remarkable
inventive genius and protective tariff
In many lines we have built up and main
tanned not only large home trade but a
considerable foreign business through
special labor-saving machinery and the
Standardization of parts and products.
The war has already wrought great
changes in methods and manufacturing
conditions in Europe. Women have
largely displaced men in many lines of
manufacture. Wages have advanced
materially, and, of more Importance still,
is the fact that all forms of American
labor-saving machinery and the Ameri-
can plan of standardization have been
adopted quite generally. 1t is quite pos
sible that for year or two after the end
of the war this country may suffer but
little from European competition. Ger
tain it is, however, that the relative po-
sition in manufacturing efficiency of the
worlds great nations may be largely
altered by the war. 1t behooves US now
to prepare through our own organization
for inevitable tariff revision-unless we
wish to place ourselves unreservedly in
the hands of the new United States Tar
if Commission, on which las competent
as it may be) there seems to be no men,

U. S. CREW ADOPTS
FRENCH FAMILY.

A FRENCH PORT, Oct. "a The crew
of an American warship patrolling the
steamer lanes off the coast of France has
just adopted" a French family, consist
ing of mother and four minor children,
and raised a fund for their temporary
support. The adopted family was driven
from their home in village near ST.
Quentin after their home had been burn
ed by invading Germans and their crops
and orchards pillaged and destroyed. The
father was killed in one of the early bat
ties of the war.
Several months ago the family came to
this city, here the mother obtained en-
ployment which just enabled her to pro-
vide herself and the children with the
bare necessities Of life. Soon after the
arrival of the American warship the sail
ors discovered the familys position and
Immediately presented to the mother a
large purse. The children were taken
into the stores and provided with candy
and other luxuries. Ever since the
American ship has made this port as its
base, this French family has wanted for

THE SNEAK WHO BLAMES 1T ON
GOD.

i Germany's misfit chancellor now says
| that "the war is Gods act"
Putting all the blame on God for the
dlsagreeable features of war and giving
credit to the Kaiser for all the victories
is a Teutonic habit Insolence rarely goes
so far as that.
| But was it God or an ambitious and
| bloody Prussian dynasty which for forty
years prepared an army of millions of
| men for this war?
Did God or a savage general staff of
| the Kaiser's order that rape of peaceful
Belgium?
Was it Gods order, or a command OF
a debauched Crown Prince which smote
the great cathedrals of France?
Did God or Won Tirpitz fire the torpedo
which sank the Lusitania and drowned
! over 1000 helpless non-combatants?
Was it Jehovah or drunken crew of
Prussian libertines who outraged the
women of conquered territory?
Did the Almighty or tottering En-
peror order airships to bomb British
schools and murder scores of children?
The people of the world take no stock
in this barbaric and pagan idea of Prus
sia's that whatever is cruel or harsh or
unpleasant CT savage or murderous or
, destructive is direct act of God.
On the contrary, the world has learned
to appraise the Hohenzollern tribe for
what it really is-a bloody dynasty which
to gain its own selfish and greedy ends
first brought the war upon unprepared
Europe and now wages it by all the rules
of the ferociouS Hun.
Besides which, blaming the war upon

TO DISCUSS SHEEP RAISING.

The Maine Department of Agriculture
will be represented at the sheep confer
ence which will be held at Boston, Fri
day, Nov. End, by Hon. John A. Roberts
of Norway, the commissioner of agri-
culture, and Herbert M. Tucker of Can
ton, the chief of the bureau of animal in
dustry William B. Kendall of Bowdoin-
ham, who is said to have the largest herd
of sheep in New England, will also be in
attendance at the meeting. The purpose
of this meeting is to stimulate increased
interest in the raising of sheep A few
years ago there were half a million
sheep in the State of Maine but the num-
Der has dwindled down to about 100, 900.
Many farms in the State might carry a
few sheep in addition to the stock already
upon them, and there are at the present
time number of unused farms which
could be made profitable in the way of
sheep raising. The price of wool and
mutton at the present time is exceeding
ly high, and there is no prospect that the
price will be much lower in the near
future. After the Boston conference, it
is proposed to hold series of sheep meet
ings throughout the State under the di-
rection of the Maine Department of Ag
riculture

the espionage and the trading with the
enemy acts, insofar as they effect the
postal service, and how they are to be
enforced against disloyal publications,
are explained at length in letter to
publishers made public today by ost-
master General Burleson.
Mr.. Burleson said that no publisher
who is at heart loyal to his country should
have apprehension or embarrassment or
inconvenience from their administration.
"No one connected with the Govern
ment," said the letter, "from the Presi-
dent down, seeks by reason of these laws
to avoid criticism, or even attack, but no
publication containing matter which falls
within the prohibition of the law will be
permitted to circulate"

money invested in the industry will be
$500, 600, 900, jump from $40, $4,000 in
1899, or an increase of 900 per cent in
eighteen years. In the decade between
1906 and 1916 the output of these fac
tories increased from GIG. 600, 900 to 1, 642, =
600, 900 pounds. The value of the out
put of our beet sugar factories last year
was approximately s1OO,OOO,OOO This
was the industry which the brilliant
democratic legislators in Congress tried
their best to destroy blythe provisions of
the now discredited free sugar sections of
the Underwood Simmons tariff law.
Those sections, it may be added, were not
much more injurious to many domestic
industries than others which stand today,
unmodified and unrepealed.
