The Sheep and the Shepherds
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The sheep are the people of the ma
tons. They till the soil. make the goods
and do all the other business necessary
To life.
The nation is the name of the pen they
happen 10 be in. Some pens are large,
some small some have low fences, ana
some very high and strong walls.
The shepherds are the rulers, including
kings, ministers. diplomats, and generals
r. BY ignorance, tradition, and lack OF or
ganization. the sheep are unable ana
afraid TO govern themselves SO they sub
NIT to the shepherds and are governed
by them.
No two nocks Of sheep ever want TO
fight No flock ever wishes the deStruc-
ton or impoverishment of another, as
they all know that the more prosperous
one is the more prosperous they all are.
The shepherds, however. are under the
delusion that the welfare of each flock
depends upon the ruin of other hocks.
They are also filled with pride, ambition
and notions of gNy and fame. These
sentiments they insti into the poor
sheep
By persistent preparedness and talk OF
defense and patriotism they keep con
stantly on the verge of violence by an
accidental spark the conhagration is kin
died War breaks out
Then the sheep tho they have no quar-
rel under heaven against their neighbors,
60 out TO raven and kill The shepherds,
whose quarrel it is. do not engage in the
conflict, but stand behind the sheep and
give orders
When the war is over the same poor
boobs who went out and slaughtered. be-
cause they were told, return home and
go to work to make money TO pay the in
demnlty, am 10 make PREPARATION for
the crime they never wanted TO commit
in ths first place.
Even in the victorious country the peo-
/ pie are impoverished. for victory IS
about as deadly a. a defeat.
When we speak OF nations glory
we never mean the people that constitute
IT. but the rulers who control 1t. When
We speak Of It's Indebtedness it is just
I the reverse.
Rulers sometimes profit by wars; the
people never.
No sheep are the enemies of other
iheep; their only enemies are the shep-
nerds
War would cease if heaven would
kindly remove the rulers and let the peo-
pic manage their own affairs.
All the miseries of the sheep arise
from the fact that they are sheep, and
have not the brains nor the courage to
govern themselves. but make themselves
the pawns Of the shepherds.
In the game of sheep and shepherds
il is. Heads, you win: tails, | lose

As Honolulu bankers and business
men hold more than 1905, 900 roubles'
worth of these bonds, the message
this morning. besides being of inter
national Importance, is welcome news
to the financial interests in this city,
The cable from New York states
that the bond holders, in order to
obtain this interest, must forward
their papers Immediately to the Ma.
tionai City Bank OF New York and
must reach that office before octo-
Der so. ...-
Local financiers VINO have invested
in these bonds were agreeably sur
prised to receive the word from New
York, for with the change in the place
of payment, they stand to receive al
most double the interest they had
been allowed under tn old plan. While
a roubie is supposed to be worth so
cents, the value OF it on the New
York money market has been only Is
cents, owing to the uncertain conii-
tons Of Russia's finances. With this
move by the Russian government the
market value of the rouble is bound to
increase and it has been estimated
that Honolulu financiers who possess
those bonds stand to make 100 per
cent profit on their investment

$4,000 By Carrying

Because People Refused to

CARRYING Austrian and Ger
man diplomats away from
~ China is not a profitable bus
mess according to the declaration
of the captain of the Oranje,
which was in port yesterday.
He told several Honolulans yes
terday that his ship lost $4,000
guilders in passenger business
when it became known in the Or
lent that the Austrian and German
eXiled diplomats were to go from
Japan to America on his steamer.
As a guildcr is worth about 40
cents, the loss was approximately
$4,000.
Just as soon as those who had
booked passage on the Oranje
from the Orient to America knew
we were to, carry the diplomats
they Cancelled their reservations,
he said. Fhe captain mist he
stakeholder in the company cper-
ating the Oranje, because he be-
walled this loss to nearly every
one with whom he talked.
Two reasons were advanced fo-
the canceling of the reservations.
Many of the travellers frankly said,
they did not want to go through
the discomfort Of q long ocean
voyage with the representatives of
two internationally disliked eoun-
tries. Others said they feared that.
all travelling on the ship would be
restricted from landing at the diff
ferent ports of call. .

Wrangle Ouer
Bible Leads To
Killing Of Man
lonokapu, an Aged Hawaiian
Placed on Trial on Charge
of First Degree Murder

That a quarrel over the Scriptures
led to the shooting affair resulting
in the death OF Sam Kaluahine and
the trial of j. K. Lonokapu on a
charge of first degree murder, is the
allegation made in testimony given
during the initial hearing of the case
In Circuit Judge Heen's court this
morning.
According to the testimony, there
was a luau in progress on the day
of the murder, and Lonokapu and Ka-
luahine were both there. During the
festival discussion OF the Bible
arose, and someone told OF the lame
man who had gone to the temple
where he was cured by Christ and
made to walk away without the aid
of his crutches.
Someone around the festive board
doubted the authenticity of this story
s,snd wanted to know why the teller
did not pray for the relief of a lame
man who happened to be one of the
guests at the 1uau. One word led to
another. according to the testimony,
and in the ensuing fracas Kaluahine
was shot and k:lied. Lonokapu was
charged with the murder.
AttorncJ William T. Rawlins, who
is defending Lonokapu, says the pres
ent trial is similar to one which was
held on one of the islands when Mr..
RaTlins was deputy encouragement.
Mr.. Rawlins went to the other island
to prosecute the defendant. In this
case defendant was alleged to have
killed another nan by striking him
over the head with a brass-bound'
Bible. He was convicted.
And here is q similar case, COM

Late Reports From Japan Say
10000 Houses Destroyed
as Result of Flood
Especial Cs1le to Sippu JuD

~ OkIO, Japan, OcL. o. ne TOLL OF
the great storm, tidal wave and
flood of Monday is steadily
growing as the reports from the strick
Ell points pour in. Today it stands as
follows:
In Toxic prefecture, exclusive of the
city of Tokio-Killed, 900; houses de-
stroyed and washed away, 2,400.
In Chiba prefecture, east of, Toxic
Killed, 400; houses destroyed and
washed away, 2,240.
In Ibaragi prefecture, east Of ChibH
prefecture-Killed, 300; houses de-
stroyed and washed away, $4,000.
Chamberlains this morning made
rounds Of the stricken parts of the city
to inspect the floods damage. Later
in the day they made the report Of
their investigation to the emperor,
who is much worried over Tokio's suf,
fering.
The newspapers, which reduced
their pages owing to the shortage OF
the paper supply, are still unable to
increase their size. The paper famine
is becoming more and more acute
every day.
Soldiers and police forces are still
engaging in the relief of the stricken
people in Toxic.
At the rice market it was today not
cd that the price suddenly scared to a
high mark. The rice crop throughout
the empire suffered the most severe
damage. 1t is feared the harvest will
fall far short of the estimate.
Damage to property and lives was
comparatively. slight west of Kobe.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct
w 5.-Without a dissenting
vote the house bill providing
for the suspension of the coast,

senate this morning.
All foreign vessels will be al

passengers and freight from

trade. r..
An exception was made SO the coast

come law before the day is over.
Since the bill passed the house
without a dissenting vote a few days
ago. IL has been anticipated, that there
would be little, If any, opposition to
the bill in senate, especially IN view
of the administrations announced in
tention to commander all American
shipping for war Service. But, never
theIess, there was some surprise
shown when after the roll cali ii was
learned that the bill had been unani.
monsly passed without one negative
vote from its former opponents 10 the
senate.
So late as this morning there was
an undercurrent OF hope apparent in
American shipping circles in Homo
iuiu that the bill for suspension OF
the coastwise shipping law might not
reach the senate at this session OF
congress and that its consideration
would be postponed until the Decem.
Der session.
However, ever since the news of the
passage of the bill by the house was
received here, 1t has been anticipated
that IL would become law.
