War U hell, but Honolulu will
buffer no harm from an object lesson
that occasions arise outside the fir
ing line when a soldier justified in
shooting straight,
public purse strings under present
conditions. When Damon declared
his policy, he had a surplus of about
$750,000, and practically declared
that he did not consider this too
large to guard the country against
losses sustained by changes In com
mercial relations with the United
States. We do not believe Mr.
Damon under present cond tions
would continue his previous ultra
conservative course.
Would Make
Our
Religion Real
According t) all accounts of de
liberations on Samoan affairs, the
I'eace Commission has retired into
innocuous desuetude. The Com
mission's usefulness can be set
down as ending with the forceful
demonstration of the fact that peace
ful administration of Samoa under
the tripartite agreement is an im
possibility. With all due respect to the mis
sionaries, we have to disagree that
they have overcome all the evils of
lhe contract labor system in Ha
waii, as suggested by Rev. Mr.
hmcrson. This is a reminder of the
American days when clergymen
questioned the advisability of giving
the worHngmen of the country the
personal freedom which they now
enjoy.
"Say,
See him shoot."

is all right
Dr. Mlnot .1. Savage pi cached recent
ly In tho Church of. tho Messiah, Park
avenue and Thirty-fourth Btrect, Now
York city. Tho preacher Bald ho want
ed to mako religion us real to his hear
ers as their bank accounts, their
games of golf, their theaters. Ho Bald
If ho did not hellovo religion to be far
nioro real than nny of tho things nam
ed ho would neither ask his people to
go to church again nor would ho him
self do so. Hu said In part:
I bcllevo that If" It Is the peoplo who
nro not attending church as much as
they used to, it is becauso tho Church
has ceased to represent to them some
thing vital, something which they can
believe, something mat tncy can love,
somcthlnK that they can woranlp,
something which seems to them worthy
of their manhood unci womannoou.
And If this bo tho case, Instead of this
supposed decay of religion being n Blgn
of tho decadence of human nature, It
means an uplift and advanco of human
nature. It Is no dlsgraco for"n man
to outgrow a partial and unworthy
view of things, no matter how much It
may have been reverenced In tho past,
provided ho goes on to tho acceptance
and admiration of something that Is
better and finer.
I'conio no longer. bcllevo thnl God
Is an Irr-jsponsllilo despot; they no lon
ger bollevo Mo Is going to tend to eter
nal pain any lioncst man, or any dis
honest man. for that matter: they can
no longer hold such n conception of
tho Divine.
C1IUUCHES LOSING THEIIl HOLD.
It is any wonder, then, If tho state
ment Is true, that tho churches that
hold to mid still ndvocnte theso Ideas
are losing their hold not on the mass
es, pet haps, not on the Ignorant, not
on tho peoplo who can bo frightened,
but on tho people who think and who
are bravo and who dnro that It Is
from tho vciy best classes of tho com
munity? It would Bccm strnngo to me
it these churches did not loso their
hold of this class of people.
But right heio Is tho danger. I said
a iow moments ago mat mo unurcn
and Its advocates. Its prlestH, its min
isters, havo W-cn for u Iour tlmo nccus
lomcd to associate ccitaln rights nnd
coicmonlcs nnd certain theological
Ideas with religion In such a way no to
make an Impression upon peoplo that
they nnd religion wero one. And thoro
nro thousands of peoplo who do not
think nnd study enough, absorbed per
haps In their worldly affairs bo that
they cannot, to obscrvo that this Is nn
error.
Ucllglon Is a relation In which man
Btunds to God, that Is n relation which
hu can never escape, a relation which
ho must nluns try to better.
I want to bcllevo, If I may rationally,
that thero Is Homo purpose In tho unl
veise, nnd that my life Is a pait of
some purpose.
And then at thu end ,when I drenni
ngiiln, as I did tho other night, or when
that dieiim becomes real, and I am
looking with tho eyes of expectancy
out into tho mist, conscious that I am
dying, I want to bollce If I can that

The decision of the administra
tion to rectinmend the enactment of
a resolution declaring the inten
tion of the United States to
retiin the Philippines means that
the (lights of ami expansion oratory
and long winded discussions will be
scheduled early in the Congressional
session. What Hawaii has to hope
for is' that the "retention" majority
will te large enough to secure
prompt action.
It is Jtn open question whether
placing Hawaii in the hands of a
new Congressional committee on in
sular affairs will bean unalloyed
benefit to the interests of these isl
ands. If the move is made with
the idea of creating territorial spe
cialties with the result that Hawaii
will be bunched with the posses
sions of conquest, pur people will
certainly raise object ons. On the
other hand should it foresh.now

While spheres of Influence and
open doors in China are an ever
fruitful source of international cor
respondence, it is not surprising that
Russia and France should renew
their interest in -the-subject while
Great Britain has troubles on her
hands. The American firm reas
sertion that the nation seeks no in
fluence in China other than secured
through the open door serves to put
a quietus on the European tenden
cy to embarass the British. The
opportunity to pay the British debt
for services rendered in the Spanish
war has come earlier than was an
ticipated, nor is the American
sympathy for Great Britain ex
pressed solely in the refusal to take
a part in the Britons difficulties
with the Boers.
When Minister Lansing gets
settled down to the affairs of his
office, the question relative to the
surplus is bound to come tQ him for
cibly from the public. A contempora
ry has intimated that a libeial policy
on Mr. Lansing's part will be view
ed as a reversal of the conservative
attitude takon by Minister Damon.
We are inclined to believe that even
.Mr. Damon will favor loosening the
