If the Iiioiiko of llartholdl were nnlnmto, would It not Blvt a rousing cheer for the won derful advancement toward liberty which has been made during that llmu? And that advnnca has not been accomplished through the machinations of mirh organ lz.it Inns as the I'rrmiunl l.lhoity l.ougue, but through the Hllcnt woik of such dis interested Ict'ei n.t Charles E.ins Hughes. I In protesting unoUlciiilly against tho disposition In England to consid er him nu onemy of tli.it count iy, Emperor William of ticrmuny reveal ed tho fact that Pronto and llussla had contemplated Intervention dur ing the war In South Africa. Tliun .two countries hud Invited tho Kaiser Jo join In the proposed nttempt to let tho Iloers alone. Hut, he de clares, tho Invitation was declined, il'lic Emperor also protests that ho Silded the British during their trou bles with the Iloers by working out 7jnh.it bo considered to bo tho best plan of campaign under the circum stances, a plan which he submitted to tho llrltlsh general staff for crltl 'Clsin. This announcement of tho al leged Rchcino of Intervention may fhtrcugthon tho relations now exist ing between Ccrinauy and Great llritnln. In the case of France, the disclosure Is unfortunate Through Ihe Krencli-Urltlsli i:lilbltlon In London, traditional enemies wero drawing closer together. The Kaiser would rnthor have tho countries which nrc separated by the English Channel Indifferent friends. Conse quent!), he may hno made bis re cent statement for the purpoo of cb trunglug England and Trance. UNCLH JOE'S DOCTRINE. In n recent public speech aimed at homo of his political enemies Speaker Cannon said: "1'hls republic of oiiis, Is not worth three hurrahs In tho ; place tint bums with llio nnd brim ktonc if ft has wlthlu its borders priv ileged classes. Civilization should 'Spic.ul over nil alike." This Is bound lundnmentnl philosophy sulphurously expressed. I Mr. C.inuou was directing his re marks especially at Mr. (iompers and (outondlng Hint tho labor lender do-' hired lo give tr.tdo unionists tho status of a privileged class. If that ho bo, thoiu can bo no question Hint Mr. liompors Is wrong. Tho labor group, howover, doubtless would con ledo tho correctness of tho genornl principle laid down by Mr. C.iunou nnd would nrguo thai what they seek Is only equality befmo tho law and not tin ndvautngo over tholr fellow imcn who nio nut trado unionists. It is encouraging to hear Speaker Cannnir talking so vehemently against tho existence of privileged classes, it may bo of value to bo ablo to recall to his mind this speech torno tltno when powerful InterotlK hook to gel through Mr. Ciunnu't) us sistauco privileges placing them nt un, advantage In comparison with tho rest of tho world and at tho oxpeubn .'of tho Industries of Hawaii. POSTAL SAYINGS BANK FOB THE' TIMED ONES. I Somo opposition to tho proposition to establish postal bnvlngs banks cropped up nt tho convention of tl.o American Hankers' Abbocliillon In Donvor. Tho committee appointed lo look Into tho subject reported unfav orably upon it. It is pointed out Hint last year llio savings banks of tho country took enro of J3,C00,O0O. with n loss of only. $120,000., or tho barest fraction of. ono por cent., "whoroas the pro pose'd government rato of two per! cent, would havo deprived tho depos- fctitrrcl Rl llir rostofficc at Honolulu im-ioihI cUm mMtcr. :. NOVEMBER 17, 1008 ilois or nt least $50,000,000. In In terest In the same jc.ir." 1'ault Is a I? ii found with various provisions of the bills brought before Congress, one Mltirlsm being that the postal ostein would centralize tho funds just ns the Democratic platform (barged that tho funds might ho shipped to Wall Street although the principal advocates of tho project, notubly Postmaster General Meyer, have declared It to be their wish and purpose to have the deposits Lept ns near homo ns possible. The objectors seem to have over luol.ed tho Important circumstance that the Idea of establishing a postal taxings hank system was proposed (lileily for tho purpose of reaching the people who cannot or will not de posit their savings In existing banks. Tho large amount of money annually tent abroad for deposit In foreign banks furnishes reason for believing that this money, or some substantial part of It, could be retained In this country, where It Is needed and where It could well bo kept In circu lation. It has been predicted that tho establishment of the Postal Savings Hank would result In tho local de posit of thousands of dollars now scot to .Japan each year. HIRAM MAXIM AND OUR PRE PAREDNESS. Illrnm Maxim, whoso Inventions of Implements of war have neon numcr mis and noteworthy, showed himself n master of haul truth In n recent New Yorlc speech, in which ho de clared that Americans wero obsessed wltli a military (onceit that might toino day prmo disastrous. Ho polnl (d out the extent of our distant do mains; llielr vulnerability; the fact thut all our possible enemies, east ward and westward, were arming, or nlicndy are nrmed, In tho teeth; Hint! wo have practUnlly no army: nnd .dVjC?-1 4-n For &ale At Kaimuki One acre nnd a half in choice fruit trees.

' reminded his nudlcncc of our belief In our Immediate, complete, and pre ternatural ability to "whip nil cre ation," nrmed or unarmed. Mr. Maxim known. He Is ono of us, though mostly ho lixes abroad, where tho market for tho things ho makes Is better than in his own coun try. Ho comes homo to tnlk. Hut If ho needed popularity in America to help him in his business which It is lucky for him ho docs not his speeches wouldn't help him get It. As a matter of fact, wo havo an Inadequate navy; wo havo tho mock ery of nn nrmy; nnd wo cannot do better, because well, simply be cuuso tho people enn't ngrco on tho proper way to do better. If Hiram Maxim knows anything about Ameri can politics, ho knows this, accord ing to the Philadelphia Times: that the quickest way to loso tho support of tho members of nny of the sub committees of tho Committee on Ap propriations is to tell tho truth out loud. There is an old story about an os trich hiding Its' head in tho sand. Hut It Is quite well understood that you cannot make n lilt by telling that story to an audience of ostriches. THE TERRIBLE TOLL OF TUBERCU LOSIS. "Consumption kills 1.1$, 000 in the United States every year. Tho en tlro cost of theso numerous cases is not less than ouo billion dollars; tho cost to other than tho victims not less than four hundred nnd forty mil. Hon dollars n year. A quarter of these lives could ho saved by an In vestment of SB, 500,000." This is tho Judgment of Professor Irving Fisher, expressed to the Inter national Congress on Tuberculosis. Kvory layman who has touched tho problem knows how much basis ex ists for thehc stupendous totals. They iro awful, accusing, discreditable. Hut It will not do merely to dwell upon that slda of tho problem. Tho men and women lost must not ho our chief concern. Their sacrlflco was woeful; their deaths should provo an Inventive. Wo must turn our lives to prevention. Wo havo the impres sive testimony of a specialist, Dr. Lawrcnco V. Flick, president of tho Henry Plilpps Institute, of Philadel phia. Ho bays: "Lot us mnko tho people beo tho bright bldo of this problem. Let us fill them with a normal nnd Justi fiable hope. Let them sco ,us wo sco that even tho most advanced cases tnn ho arrested; that all other cases can bo thoroughly cured; that for them and us tho discaso can bo whol ly prevented by nutrition, hygiene, nnd happiness, Let's preach tho doe trlno of good, healthful, senslblo liv ing, with cfccnpo from consumption us Its rewiird nnd wo shall all bo tho better for It." UNDERFED SCHOOL CHILDREN Chicago's City Council has ordered nn Investigation as to underfed school children. Alderman Hurt Is respon sible for this ofnclal inquiry, nnd In railing tho attention of tho Council to tho situation ho cremnrked: "When The December Number OF THE New Idea Magazine is the best ever issued. It is now here; also the DECEM BER SHEETS and PATTERNS. Price of Magazine, So. each. Price of PATTERNS, 10c. each. EHLERS Jm..1 Jt, . t .. . jou nro told that B.OOO children nro hungry nil tho ilmo and that 10,000 more nro only half-fed. mu nrc faco to fnco with n big pioblem." with u big problem." If theso flgtues are even approxi mately correct tho (oiidltlon nmotii; tho tchool children of Chicago is cer tainly ono calling for Investigation and relief. Hut things mo not nl wnjs ns bad ns! they are said to be. Even stronger statements and big ger statistics hne frequently hceiil placed before the pooplo of Now York ns to Its underfed school children and almost uniformly they hnvo been found to be greatly exaggerated, Wbllo there nio nlivaj's some, pcr linps many, enses In ocry largo city where children nio undeifed, to tho honor of American fatheihood and motherhood theso cases are far more rare than they nrc gcncinlly asserted to be. Tho parents are far more lll.o ly to bo underfed or hnlf-stnrved Ihnn the children, for every parent worthy tho name would sooner go hungry than that his child should bo deprived of food. Hcsldes It is a fact which tender hearted philanthropists sometimes forget 'that the healthy ilillil, espe cially ono that Is allowed to play out of doors, Is almost nlw.in blessed with un appetite and ready to rat anything catnble. Still another con sideration should not bo lost sight of. In making self-respecting nnd self supporting citizens It Is better that a ihlld should occasionally go hun gry rnthor than gel accustomed to eating the broad of charity. Tho principle can bo cuirled too far, but thero Is probably less danger of this than thero Is of affording aid which, unless Judiciously ndmlulstcied, helps to increaso tho evil it is intended to diminish, BENEFIT CONCERT SATURDAY, NOV. 21.
