A FEW INSPIRING FACTS

Some people seem to think that business is not as good in the Warren district this and early fall as usual and the expression the strike and the war have hurt business" has become common one both among the buyer and the seller of merchandise. But 1t is fact the editor of the Review talked to a Bsbee business man today turned back the leaves of ledger and showed that the volume of his business in August 1917, larger than it in August ago. July month of the strike his business was larger in July of last year. And last year. mind you, considered banner business year for the district.
 And this merchant looks for better fall business than he enjoyed last fall.
 It is true that the war has hurt business to some degree and it true that the strike affected business unfavoraby But THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS IN THIS DISTRICT IS STEADILY GROWING LARGER! August business would have much better had there been no strike or no war Of that there doubt. The district suffered some from both causes the exceeding high prices the combined bad effect of both the strike and the did not keep the volume of business it was last year when there was neither strike war!
 And business will steadily get better. Prices of staple being standardized and the spectators go forth in the markets in search of In dustrial unrest has passed valley There is ? demand here for labor at high Conditions the upward trend building boom will have to begin spite high prices material of the pressing demand
 Strong confidence and cheerful optimism should pre- vail in this district

A GOLDEN RULE CONFUCIUS TAUGHT
 23O0 YEARS AGO

His name was Confucius. He lived 23 centuries ago and China was his home. Life was his chief study and he cared little where man came from or where he was going.
 He separated mankind into two great classes, the wise and knowing and the dull and stupid. To attain the ideal, therefore, education is nee essary. Not merely education in read. ing. writing and arithmetic, not mere ly the education of the schools, but study cf everything which consti tutes life.
 He said there were four things nee essary to raise an individual to the level of the superior man, which were, as expressed in his own words:
 ''To serve my father as I would re- quire my son to serve me; to serve behave to friend as I would require my youngest brother to serve me; to behave to friend as I would require him to behave to me; to be earnest in practicing the virtues of life and to be careful in speaking about them.
 This does not differ greatly from the teaching of the catechisms of Protestant and Catholic churches. Here is his chief or golden rule of life:
 My duty toward my neighbor is to love him as myself and to do to all men as I would they should do unto me. To love, honor and succor my father and mother; to honor and obey the civil authorities; to submit myself to my governors, spiritual pastors and masters"
 COnfucius was a stickler for disci- pline, by which he proposed to main- tain order and prevent waste of ener- gy in confusion. For happiness he relied upon unselfishness.
 His ideal man is one who seeks cul- ture for the good of others. In other words, unselfshness must character ize the superior man. Confucius climbed up the ladder reaching to the ideal in the following way:
 You must obtain knowledge by in vestigation.. You must attain as con- plete knowledge as you possibly can. That was the first step.
 Your knowledge being complete, your thoughts must be sincere.
 "Your thoughts being sincere, then your hearts must be rectified.
 ''Your hearts being rectified, then your person must be cultivated.
 Your person being cultivated, then your families must be well regulated
 Your families being well regulat- ed, then your cities must be rightly governed.
 Your cities being rightly governed, the whole empire must be tranquil and happy"

Great Chicago Wheat Pit Is Silent-Closed
 for the War

Silent. like a deserted island in the midst of the sea, or a circus ring wherein an accident has stilled ac- tivities-that was the big wheat pit at the Chicago Board of Trade the day of it's closing last week. The pres sure of war has ended all dealing in grain futures. And few were the mourners at the obsequies-until peace brings recrudescence-of the pit where momentous deals in wheat have been written into history.
 Only a handful of the old timers were there in the closing hours and those were only liquidating the last of their deals in September futures.
 That liquidation has been on a large scale and has progressed so gradually that when noon brought the clamp ing down of the federal lid it was de- clared the big majority already had forgotten wheat and turned it's atten- tion to the business of other grains.
 There were. of course. the usual HdnSeTS-On lO TtCdh lut HoldoiS ucdio of other days, when monster sums were won or lost by dealers who staked their all on a deal.

BOND OF WEDLOCK
 IS MYSTERIOUS
 AS WELL AS HOLY

Riding home the other night ou the street car the newspaper man noted two different married couples get aboard at the depot stop. The first couple had evidently been up town to the picture show The woman enter ed first and walked straight to a seat and sat down with a fiounce. indicat ing by her air that she did not like the show Possibly the heroine had been too charming or the vampire had vamped too much. The man followed her to the seat and sat down beside her in much the same fashion that a bear enters his cave. The woman looked out of the window to her left; the man looked to the right. Thus they sat; thus they looked. and thus they rode as the car plunged down the canyon on it's way to Lowell
 The second couple; ah. they were different The woman had evidently been away on a visit and had just re- turned. for the man carried a suit case. She was all dressed up. while he was in his shirtsleeves and wear ing corduroy trousers and rough shoes. He had gone to the depot to meet her. He entered the car first and found her d seat and ushered her into it with the mein and deference of a prince seating his lady at some great state function. She turned to him as soon as they were both settled in their positions and began talking in lively fashion. He leaned over toward her and drank in every work. From time to time they beamed at each other Her slender hand slipped into his big calloused list and he held it tightly and leaned closer 10 her. The car

While organized under direction of the Red Cross, the hospital units in France both with the American and English armies, have been wholly taken over by the army, with the regular army surgeons serving as commanding of ficers and the adjutants and other doc tors being commissioned in the re serve corps.

rolled on. But whether it passed Lowell or Luna Vista or London or Langinappe this couple did not know or care.
 The newspaper man turned again to the first couple. The woman stili looked intently out of the window. giving only the cold profile of a shour- der to her companion The man star ed in abstracted fashion at the casn register in front of the car. Neither had addressed word to the other.
 Now then, judging from appearan- ces, these couples were of about the same age. somewhere around 30 to s3 for the husbands and 25 to 2S for the wives. They had been married about the same length of time; maybe five years. maybe eight. The first couple were better dressed and evidently in better circumstances that the last named. The two men were prepos- sessing looking, and of the two wo- men, while different types, they were equally attractive in appearance.
  neither beautiful or homely.
 Why. then, the marked and striking difference in their demeanor? Lis ten, oh ye sons and daughters of man kind. while this simple and humble newspaper man tells you an old and a very great truth: The first couple had been living right here together year in and year out The wife was sure of that husband; was he not at her side and in her fair, soft clutches? The man was sure of that wife: was she not his housekeeper and slave and under the hand of her lord and mas ter? Why any fuss or worry or feath- CTS or fiddles? Piffie and pudge,
 The second couplel An. their case was vastly different The wife had been away. Miles and time had in- tervened between them. Dangers were imagined because they were unknown. Thoughts of railway accidents had arisen like a nightmare Forebodings of sickness. fears of some fatality, ter TOTS of death. The man had missed that helping hand and gentle presence and patient partner in his house. The woman had missed the strong arm and hearty laugh and buffer against the waves Of the world.
 Hence, from this parting had come, like a beneficient spirit straight from heaven, an appreciation of each other. They had come to know. all of a sud den, just how badly they needed each other in the scheme of things that go to make this human existence.
 Without a doubt the first couple love each other just as devotedly. and would do as much for each other. as the second couple. All that was neec- ed was some danger or separation or sorrow to make them turn. she from her window and he from his cash register. quickly to each other.
 Boulevard crossing at Warren" bawled the conductor. The first couple left the car as though they were strangers. The second couple left the car like sweethearts descend ing from the stile on a moonlight night with the breath of the sleeping roses all about them. And the news paper man, thinking vaguely of the strange ways of the world. ambled on his way alone, down that road tha, was to take him one step nearer to immortal and still greater problems that cannot be solved until he has passed behind the Veil.

The hfth annual convention OF the
Mil Engineers Of the Hawaiian En-

opened this morning in the Library OF
Hawaii assembly rooms. At the same
time, in another part Of the building
the annual meeting Of the Hawaiian
Chemists Association also began. Al

Jointly in the library. The sessions
will be held twice daily, and will con.
tinue until Friday evening. Follow

Yesterday the delegates left the Alex

the meeting OF the assembled engt'

announced the weeks program. He
then introduced the weeks program.
He then introduced William 0. Smith,
pioneer sugar expert, who delivered
a short talk to the combined conven'
tions.
Mr.. Smith welcomed the visiting
engineers and chemists, and reminded
them that the entire sugar industry
looked toward these experts as the
leading figures in the work. The close
relationship between chemist and en-
gineer was lauded by the expert, who
laid great stress upon the fact that
the credit for past Developments and
the responsibility for future expansion
lay with the trained men he was ad-
dressing.
Tractors Doing Big Work
Mr.. Smith related several interest
ing facts regarding the work on the
first plantations on the islands. In
1885 the Koloa plantation on Kauai
was opened, closely followed by the La
haina plantation on Maui. In those
days there were no irrigation facili'
ties and no artificial fertilization.

related to the artisan. stated Mr..
Smith, inasmuch as they create. The
artisan may think the laboratory eff.

speaker, but the entire future of the in.

that there was nothing to show that

memory OF NAVY
MEN KILLED ON
DUTY, HONORED

Memorial services for the twenty
eight naval officers and men who have
lost their lives while engaged upon
their duties in defense Of the country
were held yesterday afternoon at the
Army and Navy Y. II. c. A.
Captain George Clark. L. S. ",
following the welcome address
made by Secretary Horn of the Army
and Navy Y. NJ. c. A. outlined the
duties which fall upon the naval
forces. and at the close Of the service
thanked all who had taken part in
the program.
The music for the occasion was
especially good. The Apollo Club was
in perfect harmony and accord in its
rendering of kipling's "Recessional"
to the beautiful setting by Reginald De
Koven, and the Soloists. Mrs. Charles
Hall and Mrs. George Brown, were
their best, Mrs. Hall singing Rest
in the Lord" and Mr.. Brown the
hymn, Abide With Me" The band
from the naval station rendered sew
eral selections.
IT, S. District Attorney S. c. Huber
made the memorial address. speaking
with a depth and sincerity of feeling.
After a resume of the war, and the
terrible atrocities that led up to Amer
ica's joining the Allied forces, he said:
IF you look into the pages of his
tory you will find that wars have
been waged and men have fought
since time began for but two reasons.
One is selfish ambition. which covers
brutal greed,a thirst for power and a
desire to require at the expense Of
life and honor what rightfully belongs
to another. That is the first reason
that is Germans cause. The other
reason men fight is for protection,
for life and home and liberty-that is
our reason for being in this war"
Speaking Of the treatment accorded
Belgium, Judge Huber added: rs it
any wonder that America joined the
war to beat back this common foe of
humanity-Germany? We could not
sit back and see these smaller and
weaker nations trampled under foot.
That is why / have tried to picture
to you the cause for which these
twenty.eight men died"
After the national anthem, played
by the naval station band, Secretary
Horn invited the audience to look over
the new Army and Navy "Y" quarters,
and many availed themselves Of the
opportunity.

Chinese SLAYER
gets new TRIAL

Lum Dim. the Chinese man who has
been held for number of months at
Oahu prison under sentence of death
for the murder of fellow country
man at Kailua, Hawaii, is to be given
a new trial.
The Chinese was sent on Tuesday
back ID the Big Island. the request of
his friends for new trial having been
granted. Persons who have observed
him for some time are of the opinion
that he is insane.
AS has been stated before, Lum
Dim is willing and anxious to die. Day
after day in Oahu prison he would
plead with Sheriff Jarrett to get the
execution over, claiming that the man
he killed was getting too far ahead
of him in that country across the
river. He feared, he said. that the
dead man would be winning friends
who would be waiting to make it hard
for Lum Dim when he arrived.
