societies that uo wiuo or liquors

alphabetical sociHtios evidently did

THE QUARANTINE FAROE
The tnuchly bled taxpayers are
beginning to have that tired feel
ing which naturally must bo tho
result of the exponsivo antics of our
best government Tho present
quarantine farce has become so ab
surd that thore is serious talk
among the business community of
calling a public meeting and ceneur
iug the authorities who make a farce
of a serious matter
There are according to our hoalth
authorities two or threo caios of
smallpox at tho Quarantine Station
and a largo forco of guards is en
forcing tho quarantine ruloa iu a
very strint and proper maimer
The circumspection of tho author
ities has gono eo far that it has been
considered nocossary to place in
quarantine the officials who came in
contact with th Japanese immi
grants during the inspection pre
sided ovor by Minister Cooper and
Collector Castle
Pooh Bah Cooper being tho boss
of the authorities did not proposo
however to be confined for oighteen
days at tho quarantine grounds and
a suitable placo was selected as a
Quarantine Station ad interim Mr
Castle who prefers the grub of his
Chinese cook to the food served at
tho Quarantine Station immediately
offorod his rosideuco at Waikiki for
quarantine purposes and being at
present a grass widower ho was only
too glad to fill his houses with the
investigating oQioiaU
His offer was accopted at ouco
with pleasure and it was arranged
that thegeutlomen should finish tho
investigation of tho Japs and then
bo carried to Waikiki where they
will be quarantined guarded by six
specials for oighteen days at the ox
pense of the taxpayers
Well and good Tho principle in
tho mattor is all right thoorotieally
but certainly not practically In
tho first placo tho selection of a
residence for a Quarantine Station
in one of tho most soloot quarters of
tho town is absurd and wo are sur
prised that tho residents of Waikiki
have not registorod a big kick If
there is any necossity to quarantine
theso officials who have been in
contact with the men suffering from
smallpox have handled tho moneys
and clothes of tho sick mou and
been closeted with them during a
lengthy investigation they should
certainly bo quarantined as strictly
and thoroughly as are the officials
and people at tho Quarantine
Station
After it was decided that Mr
Cooper and his assistants wore to
go into quarantine they finished
heir investigation at the Station
and thou drove iu hacks public
vehicles to Waikiki Theso car
riages were not disinfected after
being usod by the officials but wore
most likely enterod by other citizens
unaware of tho load recently carried
in thorn Somo of tho quarantined
party stopped on their way to Wai
kiki and mingled freely with their
follow citizens Is that quarantine
At Waikiki the quarantined gen
llemon have conversation and inter
course with men from town We
are told that an official this morn
ing rodo into tho yard of Mr Cas
tlos quarantined houso ami had a
lengthy conversation with Minister
Cooper who with Iuh party was
seated on ho verandah steps Is
that quaiantiue
If there id no necessity for qnar
auliniug tlies men and cnufiug
them great incouvetii uee let us
know it before tin- billn against the
Treasury come iu fat ami heavy
To keep twelve mou at Waikiki for
eighteen days at public expense just
for fun is a mattor of tome import
ance to the taxpnvers Either iho
smallpox business Miould be lakon
seriously or it should not lie taken
at all and former experience of the
dread epidemic in this oitj tends t
show that there is no fun in
smallpox If the epidemic breaks
out iu Honolulu the blame will fall
on Mr Cooper who neemB to tako
tho mattor as a joko
Tho raising of tlm jellow flrig in
CaHtlos yard with mueio furtuiied
by the boating of the tinpaus aud
blowing of tinhorns and whistles
may be very amusing and appropri
ate to tho organ grinding Ministers
taste Listening to Chester Doyles
endless fund of juicy stories and
his gagB may bo considered a serious
punishment for thoso compelled to
remain in tho so called quarantine
for eighteen long days Tho main
issue however is that the quaran
tine be strictly observed and that
whoever enters tho preminen ibo
forced to remain there The com
munity irrespective of political
opinion demands that the curtain
bo dropped on tho quarantine farce
and that tho gentlemen under the
yellow flag at Waikiki settle down
to strict quarantine business
CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES
Tho Buddhist priest H Dharma
pala rocontly bade farewell to a
San Francisco audience with an ad
dress on Christianity iu India
He gave much interesting informa
tion rogarding Oriental conceptions
of Christianity and attacked the
materialism of tho Western nations
He traced says tho San Francisco
Call the history of missionary en
deavor pointing out that through
out Asia Thibet is tho only country
into the heart of which Christianity
has yet failod to ponotrate He oar
rated his own personal experiences
of Christian profusion nd practice
and stated that the niton 1 differ
once to animal Buffering ho uliurao
teristiu of the Westerner finally de
termined his doparture from the
fold of Christian tuition Ho re
viewed tho leading features of the
teachings of Buddha its ethical
code so sublimo and comprohonsivo
aud its exalted philosophy the doc
trines of Confucius and of Brah
manism which were old before
Oiuistianity was heard of
Iu view of these facts he con
tinued Christian missionaries
should understand that they are not
dealing with Hotentots or American
Indians but with people who were
highly civilized before the world of
Christ They should have some in
telligent conception of tho religions
they sook to destroy Christianity
in Westorn couutries is so mixed up
with siiporsition and speculation
that tho puru teachings of Christ
have beou rolegatod into oblivion
If Christians will only htudy these
othioal teachings they will try to
combat the many evil influences
which Europeans and particluarly
tho English have introduced into
Asia
Strangely enough tho most popu
lar missionaries tho wido world
around have immnmoriably been
those of the Roman Catholic faith
who invariably have become part
and parcel of the poople thomsolvos
learning their language habits and
customs and by dogreeB leading
them from thoir aucient traditions
into the lovelier paths of peace
prosperity and religion by gentle
means and not driving them head
King and brusquely into sheopfolds
thoy woro disinclined to outer
This statement though true doos
not destroy tho momories of excel
lent work done by many mission
aries of other churches in many
Inndp but it is none the less an un
fortunate fact that the lack of thot
and discretion on the part of Am
nrican and Enulp h missionaries haB
brought much bloodshed aud mis
fortune upon thir sVMral churches
