West a gospel of peace. Hawaii
prides herself on tho fact that she
stands as a guard to protect America
from Invasion on her AVestern Coast;
It remains with Hawaii to demon
strate to tho Orient and the Occident
that the races from each can meet,
mingle and live together In peace,
and thus, through the message that
might go out from these little islands,
have equal prldo In that she stands
as the outpost of America in extend
ing tho olive branch of peace to the
Oriental world.
Hawaii has gained her promlnenco
as a strategic point through her own
and the mainland Jingo's policy of
holding up Japan as a bogeyman for
the frightening of those in power at
Washington. Surely tho time has
come, however, when those In these
Islands and thoso on the mainland
who have helped her must know that
now thcro is as much to gain by
adopting a different policy as there
has been gain through tho policy of
working the Japanese scare." Ha
waii, and particularly Honolulu, has
profited greatly In a military sense.
Now Is the time to look for a com
mercial gain as great as that gained
, in a military way. Trouble in the
East will not benefit us now. The
appropriations have been passed and
the money is coming in and there Is
tween America an3 JapanV On tho
contrary, tho harm that would follow
to Honolulu would bo great.
We do not bellevo for an instant
that such a calamity as war between
America and Japan is possible, but
Hawaii can do much to riiako It im
possible, just as she has done a big
share in brfnglng about much of tho
present suspicion of Japan and Jap
an's designs that exists throughout
America. Here tho population Is
about half and half. If a perfect un
derstanding existed between theso
portions of tho population, if Ameri
can newspapers here and American
correspondents to mainland newspa
pers would send out as much reas
suring news concerning the sincerity
and goodwill of the resident Japanese
as they have sent out alarming re
ports in the past, tho sentiment
throughout all America would change.
In the same way, if the Japanese
newspapers here would work to fos
ter this goodwill Between the races
even more than they do, tho results
would bo appreciable, and in Japan a
feeling would be spread that Ameri
cans and Japanese have no cause for
mutual suspicion or mutual dislike.
Fortunately for the Japanese pa
pers here tho work they would be
called on to do would be much less
than tho share that would fall to the

ATLANTA, Georgia, September 29.
Tom Watson, tho Populist candidate
for President, yesterday Issued a reply
to the charge made at Salem, South
Dakota, by former United States Sena
tor Pettlgrew, who declared that he
had been offered ?10,000 to take the
stump In Watson's favor by the Repub
lican management, the Idea being that
votes drawn for Watson would be taken
away from Bryan, thus strengthening
Taft's chances.
Watson replies by charging that this
attack has been Instigated by Bryan to
hurt him (Watson), because ot the ex
posures made of Bryan's negro poli
cies. He says that Bryan's brother
and his brother-in-law got $15,000 out
of tho campaign fund subscribed in

therefore, for Hawaiian-Americans to
forget the policy that forced these
things hero and take up a policy that
will bring more commerce, more
tourists, more wealth.
The bogey of an ambitious Japan,
always ready to pounce upon Hawaii,
has been manipulated smoothly. To
thoso Hawaiian statesmen and plan
ners who played the cards great
credit must be given for the skilful
playing of a hand In the great game
of diplomacy. From the time , tho
Provisional Government refused tho
landing to tho Immigrants who came
hero on the Shlnshu Maru, with a
view of irritating Japan into some ac
tion that might be referred to Wash
ington as an Indication of Japanese
intention to seize this place, up until
the present, when stories of Japanese
regiments drilling in Oahuan cano
fields, Washington has been kept
well excited over the bogey, excited
to the extent first of annexation,
with its assurance of a free market
for sugar, and then fo the tune of sev
eral millions for fortifications. First
annexation, then fortifications, and
now If wisdom prevails conciliation.

Throughout tho country districts In

Is no knowledge that war was even

LIFE-SAVING AS A SCIENCE.
In tho current issue ot Harper's
Weekly, Dr. Walter B. Peet describes
the manner in which Atlantic City
has systematized its method of reviv
ing tho apparently drowned. "Sitting
in the main hospital tent, apparently,
without a care," he writes, "the big,
good natured surgeon hears the cry
'Man in trouble!' hut he does not
move. He knows that the life guards,
whom ho has so well trained, wilt
bring the unfortunate one ashore.
"Out Into tho breakers dashes one
ot these athletes with life-line hitched
to a ring-buoy. One ot the patrol-
boats possibly two or three station
ed far out, puts in toward shore, and
there Is a race for the man. If the
swimmer gets thero first, he puts the
man on the buoy, and both are pulled
ashore by the guard who holds tho "end
of the line on the beach. If the man
has gone down, the guard In the boat
dives after him, and often two or three
go overboard from the gathering boats.
Sometimes when a strong man is in
danger, and is thoroughly pnnlc-strlck-en,
tho guard has a hardd time to quiet
him and prevent him from getting a
strangle hold around his neck, and
very rough measures have to Da
used."
