GOD SAVE THE KING AND THE LAND.
V mav be considered the best kinc of his name. Thack
eray's study of the Four Georges tells the tale of the others, but aj
second Thackeray would have a very different man to describe in the
sovereign who was crowned at Westminster today. While in him
there may be no really brilliant virtues there are also no Georgian
vices, and he is said to be the first of his house who is English without
reservations even of German accent. It has taken the Guclphs a long
time to get away from 1 lanover ; and the King's uncle, whom history
once knew as the Duke of Edinburgh, died on n little German throne.
But here is a real Englishman, married to a real English woman, in
heriting the noblest traditions of his country as well as the best ones
of his house ; a gentleman in spirit, quiet, unostentatious and respect
ful to the people by whose grace alone, under God, he wears the
British crown. j
It is the custom in England to say "God save the King, even if
Byron did add the cynical line "I doubt that man will longer." And
to the custom Americans courteously bow. But who docs not in his
heart, if he cares for Anglo-Saxon freedom, utter from greater depths
of feeling the prayer, "God save England !" Perhaps the old race has
its brutal traits, but there might be little freedom in the earth today
but for the men of the Magna Charta. the men of the Armada, the
ironsides of Cromwell, the cavaliers of the Restoration, and the re
volting Anglo-Saxons of the North American colonies. England lost
' America because of the application, by force of arms, of her own prin
ciples. Ireland has long been fighting for her rights with weapons
forged in the laboratories of Anglo-Saxon thought. She has de-.
mantled no privileges which Englishman have not died for. And
wherever democracy has ranged' itself against mere might of office,
whether in distant colonies of Britain, in China, in Russia, in the an
cient dominions of Spain, there lives the spirit of Anglo-Saxon liberty.
So may God save England, mother of free nations, from all harm;
build her up in worthiness and might, lead her in paths of honor, jus
tice and peace, and may her Kings not forget her ancient sacrifice but
come in all days to the' altar of constitutional liberty with "humble and
with contrite hearts," and with loyalty. to all that has made Britain a
commonwealth of free men.
WIRELESS SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.
Senator Bourne, of Oregon, announces an interesting political
experiment in connection with his re-election ifi 1913 and one that
will be watched with interest all over the United States. Posing as the
real apostle of popular government, the president of the National Re
publican Progressive League proposes to find out what the people will
do if they are let strictly alone and proposes to stay out of the fight
for his own re-election.
He says he will make no speeches, spend no money and pull none
of the usual political wires for his re-election, and allow Ihe people to
select a senator of their own choosing as far as he is concerned. If
someone else wishes to spend money and time in going over the state
of Oregon telling the people Bourne is a mistake, the Senator is per
fectly willing.. As for him. he will attend strictly to his own personal
affairs and the duties of his office, and if the people decide they want
another in his place, all well and good. In any event, he will pin his
faith to the theory he has so persistently advocated, and expects to be
re-elected.
Senator Bourne is a finished politician, with an abundance of
wealth. He knows all the fine points of the political game, and has
never been accused of being stingy with his money when a political
goal was to be reached. But he declares he has reformed, and will put
his re-election up to the people, and do nothing to influence their de
cision when his place if to be filled. Should the Bourne idea of a
speechless, non-political, campaignless campaign win, the idea may
become popular. LaEollette tried it last year and won out in a walk.
WHERE UNCLE SAM HELPED.
' After all it may be that some help can be had from the United
States Department of Agriculture in the search for parasites for the
pests that afflict Hawaiian fruits and vegetables. On the general sub
ject the Star's Washington correspondent, Mr. J. A. Breckons, writes
as follows:
WASHINGTON, June 9. It Is believed the department of
agriculture has discovered a remedy for the alfalfa boll
weevil, the beetle threatening serious damage to the alfalfa;
Industry of the West. The remedy is a parasite found in
Italy and forwarded to this country by W. F. Fisher, an
agent of the agricultural department from the Royal National
Agricultural College near Ncides.
The parasite was first discovered In a search for some
thing that would destroy the gypsy moth. Experiments have
demonstrated it will also kill the alfalfa weevil, and a ship
ment of them were forwarded from Italy to the department
here.
A small consignment of the parasite has been sent to
Utah, where practical experiments will demonstrate the 'ef
fectiveness of the discovery. The parasites are placed In an
Infested alfalfa field, where they soon multiply and destroy
tho weevil.
If the Department of Agriculture will send its agents out to find
the natural enemies of a Utah agricultural past why wouldn't it, if
asked, send one to searcli for prasites of Hawaiian agricultural pests?
THE HAMMONDS.
No American will take pride in the cabled statement from London
that Special Embassador John Hayes. Hammond "in court, dress and
knee breeches" and Mrs. Hammond "outshining all other women in
' attendance by the splendor of her costume." were "secpnd only to
royalty in interest." It is likely enough that Mr. Hammond could not
escape the court costume and still be a part of the show, but if Mrs.
Hammond "outshone" the titled ladies present she made a vulgar dis
play of herself and brought ridicule on American society. The whole
affair, one may think, will not conduce to Mr. Hammond's success in
American politics, which is already hampered by public memory of
the sneer with which Oom Paul greeted him when he came to plead for
his life after the Jamicson trial. "Yen our leedle dogs disblease us ve
' have to cuff deir ears," said the old burgher in dismissing him.
Mr. Hammond was mentioned for the Republican, nomination for
President a few years ago and Mrs. Hammond had her aristocratic
picture in the papers as a possible "lady of the White House." Can it
be and we consider it with bated mind that President Taft had fell
designs when he put this mincing and glittering pair on exhibition at
England's greatest fete?
The Kaiser inspects all foreign vessels that attend his reviews and
it is a pretty safe guess he doesn't go away without getting a pointer
or two -for the advantage of his own navy.
Probably the only American rival of Mrs. Hammond at the Coro
nation is Mrs. Jack Johnson whose diamonds are said toputshine her
husband's gold-filled ivories.
Let us all hope that the manning of Fort Armstrong with twelve
men won't rouse Hobson and Hearst to another high defiance of the
perfidious Jap.
A mere glimpse of Kuhio's wastebaskct gives our matin contcm
po7.ry the prickly heat.
Uncle F Walt
The Poet Philosopher
Beneatli this stone there lies at rest a man who always did his best.
The gods ordained that he should move along a lowly, humble groove.
For him there was no wealth or fame, he bore no proud
AN ancestral name, no palace doors for him swung wide, but
EPITAPH in his hut he lived and died. His years were many and
his toil brought riches from the stubborn soil, but all that
wealth to them was brought who owned the land whereon he wrought.
He fashioned lumber and the boards made shelter for the languid lords.
He fed the cows and herded swine that other men might nobly dine.
From break of dawn till close of day he toiled along his weary way,
and took his earnings in his hand to fatten those who owned the land.
His feet were seamed with bramble scars, that others might have motor
cars. This strip of ground is his reward ; 'twas given by his overlord ;
it's six feet long and two feet wide, and here they brought him when
he died. To labor hard for fifty years, endure the burdens and the
tears, to have no grateful hours of rest, to toil, and bend, and do your
best, to grind, and moil and delve and save, and at the last to get a
grave ! Poor souls that in the darkness grope, and weave and spin and
liave no hope 1

because thoy sell their sugar so much
cheaper and therefore JLlio consumer
gets tho benefit of It. Our sugar Is
sold on tho Cuban basts and tho cost
of refining Is not less than five-eighths
of a cent. Getting tho enne sugar
cheaper they sell tho rofined at so
much lower a prlco In proportion, and
although it never occurred to mo be

conclusion.

CAPTAIN TRASK, S. S. Sierra I
do not know what Frank Coffee refers
to when he says that Captain Houd

the Australian postal authorities be
cause he refused to carry the malls

Tho malls were never refused, but I

up long ago.

YOU doimt expect us to tell you
how much you ought to pay for
a suit of clothes" or an overcoat; you prob
ably think that it's our business to provide
such clothes as you want, at such a price
as you want to pay; and if we dont do it,
you'll try to find some store that does.
We understand that.
But you do expect us to consider what's best
for you in clothes, and to give, some attention to
seeing that you get it; to feel as much interest in
your welfare as in your money; that's really the
best way to get a customer's trade to be inter
ested in his interests as much as in our own.
Hart Schaffner & Marx
clothes arc not the lowest priced clothes made; you can buy
lots of lower priced goods; we have some here. We'll charge
you $20 for a suit, 5520 for an overcoat of their make, and
from that up to S40, 45. But you'll find them the cheapest,
most economical clothes you ever had. If you've been used
to paying less than these clothes cost, and we can persuade
you to buy these at a higher price, we've done you the great
est service we can render; and you'll be the one to say it, after
you get the clothes.
