j JAPANESE' ON
f .
Intermittent rovlvnl of tho war
talk Involving tho names of the
United Slate.s ami Japan has brought
forth from a correspondent of tho
.Now York World a communication
thnt Is very sensible In some of IU
conclusions and suggestions. This
ommuiilcntlon, written by a Japan
use, follows a lino of thought fre
quently oxprebsed by thoso In this
Icommuiilty best informed on the
commercial status of the two na
Itlons. As to tho effectiveness of
tho Japancbo warships, there will bo
considerable difference of opinion,
but thero fceeins little doubt of the
litter folly of Japan going to. war
with Its best customer. The com
munication from the World Is given
Jn full:
To the Editor of tho World:
INTOXICATEU-By PROHIBITION
Rev. Mr. Oleson riai published a
letter In which ho declnres what he
Intended to say on the prohibition
question and tho morning payer dur
ing his recont. address In the Central
Union church.
lie says Hint his view of It can he
substantiated by any number of rep
utable persons. As the morning pa
per that was nttnehed and the II u 1
1 o 1 1 n that had n representative at
the meeting Interpreted tho remarks
or Mrt OU-on In iirnetlcnlty thcamo
manner. we .have- not the slightest
,ouijt ihat.Mr. .Oleson said what was
rredllcil him but It looked other-
wise than ho had Intended when he
saw it In print. He isn't tho first
man to -havo had such an expert
once.
The incident Is of Importance only
showing tho recklessness
with
which so many ot tho prohibition ad
vocates approach their subject, and
their departure from the usually
xai.n methods of thought nnd speech
when they are laboring under the
Intoxication or u prohibition brain
stdrm.
The morning paper appreciated
this when It said of Mr. Oleson's
original speech, "As, Mr. Oleson did!
not know what ho 'was talking
about, there Is no occasion to reply
to him." Judging from tho later
. men statement ot .Mr. uiesan, n
d.d not Indeed' know what ho was
talking about. He was merely
Jggod with prohibition enthusiasm
and did not carefully chooso his
words.
This Is ono ot tho unfortunuto fea
tures of a prohibition campaign.
Some otherwlso sane people get so
bolting drunk on their own theories
thai they cut and stash, have no re
Igardjor what they are saying, con-
uemn in ueasuai terms an nu ""
not agree with them, consign all
their opponents to present-day and
future Hades, call their opponents
great horned loads, and then wake
up the morning .after surprised nt
what they have said, nnd absolutely
certain thnt they have been misrep
resented. Of course, theso people have ti
right under tho constitution of the
United. States to rip everything and
everyone up the back to suit their
own pleasure, provided they do not
Interfere with the peace and com
fort of tho neighbors and thus con
stitute themsolves' a nuisance.
The most regrettable part of It Is
that they aro likely to mislead a
great numbor of. citizens who nro
searching for a reasonable and prop
er solution ot the liquor traffic prob
lem, with the Inevltoble result that
nut only the leading roisterers, but
tho whole crowd will wake up the
morning after and admit that they
havo made a great mistake Indeed,
mado fools of themselves and fi
nally curso tho day that tho rosy ap
pearanco of tho path pointed out by
the prohibitionists led them astray
nnd disconnected them from their
reabon.
Wo doubt, however, that anything
near a majority of tho citizens of
the Territory of Hawaii can be so
misled, nnd It Is perhaps rortunato
for nil concerned that nn exhibi
tion of what prohibition enthusiasm
will do In tho way of liitoxlcr-tloit
has been mado while those who think
calmly on this very important mat
ter nro making up their minds on
what Is best for Hawaii.
WAR TALK
(There Is one troublo about this war
.talk In fact, two:
Tho Japancso aro not all Idiots
Heaven knows wo have our share of
them, of course.
And then Japan Is not on exag
gerated nifcano asylum.
Don't you think that wo nro old
onpuKh, that we havo common, or
dlnary, everyday horto sense enough
to see that we can not whip tho,
United States? Soma peoplo may
like to gp Into n light for the puro
and unadulterated luxury of being
beaten to death; wo don't. Neither
do we wish to be still bigger luna
tics, to take a funcy trip ot GOOD
miles to get Into a fight, when in
these blessed days we )iae such an
embarrassment pf riches in that par
ticular Hue right at home. Consld.
er the awal-enlnp ef China and her
titttr hitM-J ef h ar.i t c;r.-
TlBCtJ1
tint v.hai thp ii-p of talking '
It -further' Wo can not fight Amer
ica .w,hclher ,wo ..would .or not.
Why? He-cause, In tho first place,
we "can not afford to murder our best
customer Just for fun even if wo
could, which we could not. Nowa
days Japan N marketing nrtout 1:12
million yens' worth of goods nbro.td
every year. All the roiintrle.' Of Ku.
rope put together buy from lis about
90. million yens' worth n ear (Inr
rofond bet cu'tomer takes about S"
million yens' worth of our exports,
40 million 1es than tho I'nllet
States.
Look nt this tower of figures: $1.
120,000,000; that Is our national
debt. Why, wocan not afford to
fight with anybody, let nlonu tho
best friend ntul best customer, nipt
the richest country In the world to
hoot. War takes money nOwndays,
you know. If you wish tir bellcvo
that tho poverty-stricken people bur
dened with more than $20 per cap
ita national debt tiro In fine temper
for a wnr of any sort, you can; them
Is no law ngalnst it, 1 believe.
In the second place, wo con not
fight because we havo not tho fight
ing machines wherewith to fight.
Our navy? Not ono of our ar
mored ships has tho coal cair.iclty to
steam 3441, miles to Honolulu and
put up a light for battleships with
out coal are more helpless than sail
ing vessels. Not even tho latest ad
dition to our navy, tho lD.lliO-ton
Satsuma, has a coal capacity 'exceed
ing 2300 tons. Why not repeat tho'
Hojestvoimkl feat of coaling the fleet
at sea? '
Hut why should Japan wish tile
fate of tho Suvoroft nnd her sisters
for tho slil pa of tho Nippon navy? '
If tho Husslaiis had not been top
heavy with the weight of coal even
ln officers' wardrooms they could
not have shown to our guns so much
of tho unarmored portion of their
hulls below the waterllne whenever
thoy took n sharp turn, ni.d the Ko
rean Channel, today woulh not bo
tho grave of no many bravo shlpr.
Then there Is n lit tin risk of belli.?
surprised while coaling. If jmir fon
bo not entirely nslPcp.
Hut even If wo could achieve this
Impossibility ot occupying Hawaii
and establish there a baso with coal
ing depot and protected waters,
what then? Then we shall be call
ed,upon Jo face another, tho second
Impossibility. Wc shall bo forced
to steam once moro over 2000 miles
and put up another light. And thii
time against a superior licet In Its
homo waters, within eacy reach ot
their repair stations, coaling sta-'
tlons. stores, fortified harbors', etc
Now one mlraclo Is n little loo
much for the Nippon navy to per-
form at (ho present stiiue of its de-,
velopment, and tho adding of nn-
othpr Impossibility does not make
the solution any easier. i
In Bhort, before Japan could think
of fighting America sho must fight
geography: sho must fight the 'Pn-
clflc Ocean and conquer It. Usual-
ly reckless ynrn-splnners nnd yellow!
newspapers may be willing to under-
tnko tho Job, but few, 1 fancy, even
nmong-the eight million gods of our
forefathers, would bo bold enough to
try It
In tho third place, let us nsk a
rather pertinent question: ,
Who among the people of Nippon
aro going to light tho United States
anyway?
Nbt tho farmer class. They have
all tho trouble they caro to have,
all tho burden they can stand, In
looking after the taxes. Incidental
ly, It was soma of thnt class who
contributed each his modest squnro
feet of soil and you would appre
ciate what their offering meant tt
you knew upon what tiny, pocket
handkerchief farms they support

1...1 .. .., a.1niv Attaltntl,, wllll ITindn
IllWiil'll til Juitvv, ,i,.mii,,,..i -his
debut nt tho Aloxander Young on
8nturday ocnlng. Mr. notion's nnmo
appeared on tho program four times,
which was most grntlfjIhK, ns ho .was
In splendid form nnd was heard to
great advantage.
Tho pingram was n, lengthy ono npd
ns sovcrnl well known local nrtlstR ns
slRteil the music lovers of this city
were given n rich treat.
Mr. Hobcn'H first number was "Mokz
kowshl's Hnrcarolle." This pleco was
entirely new to (ho audience, but it
superb beauty and brilliancy combined
with a most finished nnd nrtlstlc rend-;
crlng, gained n henrly recall. Owing
to n lengthy program, encores could
.not bo responded to ns frequently us
tho njidlenco would havo liked. The
only encoro tnken by Mr. Hnben was
tho "Klfln Danco ' of Jensen.
His next bracketed numbers wero
romance "Hhclnberger" (for left hand
only) and tho over welcome "Caprice"
by Paganlnl'Schumnnn. Hoth theso
numbers limo been mado known to
music lovers of this city. Tho pianist
was rccii nt his best in tho Homnnco,
has almost "titanic" left-hand tech
nique being remarkably evident, while
the delicate contrasts of tone color
wero beautifully brought In.
In tho second part Mr. Hoben brack
eted ICtudo In C sharp minor nnd
Scherzo In 11 Hat minor (Chopin). In
place of tho latter ho played "Air tin
Uallet." a very brilliant, very spark
ling French piece. Tho last piano
solo lo bo played by this distinguished
artist was "Irish Airs," nrrnnged by
Henedlct and partly rearranged by
Mr. Hoben. Theso piano solos wero u
superb treat, mid Honolulu audiences
will look forward to thu time, when
another concert ot such sterling qual
ity will bo arranged by local artists.
Mrs. Hobo, with her rich contralto,
made n marked Impicsslon, partic
ularly In "Aria," ono of Mr. dioben's
compositions, nnd which is considered
a very big concert pleco. Mine. Al-
haul, tho wldqly known prima donna
nnd n great friend of tho latu Queen
Victoria, has sung thlo song on sovcr
nl occasions, and hns complimented
Mr, Holien on his composition. "For
I.ovo of Thee," another of Mr. Ho-
ben's coniHUltlons, wnu beautifully
rendered by Mrs. Hobo. This Is u very
passionate fcong nnd was ghen beforo
"Passion's Sway," whlcti Is n melod
Ions composition nnd was accompanied
with a cello obllgato by Dr. Ilamus.
Mrs. White, suprnno, sang artistic
ally, especially In tho upper reg'
Istcrs and snug with spirit ami much
feeling. Mr. Unit also naug with
plenty of spirit nnd was much appro-
! elated. Tho duet fioin Carmen by-
Mrs. White, and Mr. Hall was very fav
orabty received. Two movements of
n Hohm Trio commencing with thu
Andante, wcto gUen, in which Mis.
Tcnncy Peck, Mrs, lloss nnd Dr. Ila
mus wero tho recipients of tremendous
applause. Mrs. Horton, who accom
panied the various singers, performed
her arduous task most crcdltubly nnd
It was partly duo to her masterful
handling of tho Chlckcrlng grand that
tho concert was bo highly appreciated
by tho large audience.
Among tho comiKisors whoso com
positions wero chosen. It may not bo
out of placo to mention that Hhclnber
ger was head of tho Munich Conserv
atory; Moszkowskl was n famous
teacher at tho Paris Conservatory, and
tho "Etude In C sharp minor" by Cho
pin, was ono of tho favorlto composi
