HAWAII AS A THOVBLB CENTER
The new immigration law which has
Just become effective. Increasing the
head tax and Imposing other restric
tive regulations on Immigrants seeking
admission to the United States, may
have one good effect If rigidly enforced
In Hawaii, which appears to be a sieve
through which a stream of coolies has
been filtering Into the United Staffs
by way of San Francisco and other
Pacific coast points. The annual re
port of Governor Carter of Hawaii
throws an Interesting sidelight on the
character of the population of Hawaii.
The report asserts that there are no
labor troubles on the Islands, other
than the difficulty In securing a suffi
cient supply of workmen for the big
plantations. The government, In co
operation with private enterprises, has
spent something over $9,000,000 In the
last thirty years In importing labor,
and the classification of these laborers
shows a marked preponderance of im-
I migrants of the kind regarded In this
country as undesirable. The immi
grants arriving at Honolulu are classi
fied as follows:
Coreans 6,908
Chinese (Including Manchurlai s) 4t.4l
Jnpanes ; 111,137
South Sea Islanders 2.44R
Norwegians 615
Germans l,z?t

Austrtans (Qellcians) 372
Portuguese ,. 11.440
Porto Ricans 5,()
Negroes 300
White Americans 100
Russians (February, lf)OS) 114
Total ifU87
It will bo noticed that the great
bulk of the arrivals at Honolulu come
from China, Japan and the South Sea
Islands, constituting a class whose ad
mission to this country is neither
sought nor desired. It is estimated
that fully 100,000 of these Asiatic im
migrants have already come to the
United States and that the number will
be increased unless strictest precaution
is exercised by the Immigration offi
cials. Secretary Straus of the Department
of Commerce and Labor evidently ap
preciates the menace in the conditions
and will vlil Hawaii to make a per
sonal Investigation of the immigration
question there. America wants immi
gration of the willing worker type, but
the danger of an influx of immigrants
such as have been welcomed at Hawaii
is too apparent to be ignored. '
AN ENGLISH BT-E LECTION
The limitation of the power of the
House of Lords seems to be about the
only question that promises to create
any Interest in British politics and the
result of a recent by-election In the
Jarrow division of Durham county Indi
cates a growing sentiment In favor not
only "of limiting the power of the
Lords, but of actually abolishing the
body. In the recent debate In the
Commons the leader of the labor party
advocated the destruction of the Lords
as a legislative body. The London
Times reports his address thus:
It was said that the duty of the House
of Lords was not to thwart the will of the
nation, but to see that Ita will waa really
and truly carried out. He challenged that
statement at once, "he House of Ixrda
had no right to decide what waa the will
of the people. (Labor cheer. He believed
the government would have done better
If they had taken, action on the lines of the
resolution passed a good many years ago
declaring that the House of Lorda waa
dangerous and ought to be abolished.
The by-election in the Jarrow dis
trict furnished the first opportunity to
htest the sentiment of the voters on the
resolution offered by the liberal leaders
In the House of Commons providing
for limiting the power of the Lords.
The liberal and unionist parties put up
their strongest candldater In the dis
trict and the labor party named a Mr.
Currau, who was defeated by the lib
eral candidate In 1908. He won hand
ily over both opponents and made bis
campaign on the sol Issue of being
In favor of abolishing the House of
Lords. The hereditary legislators are
clearly losing favor.
A NEVT DEAL AT ANNAPOLIS.
'Authorities at the naval academy at
Annapolis have made the astonishing
discovery that the United States should
have its fighting ships officered by men
who understand the art of war on
water and are skilled in seamanship,
rather than by elocutionists and ora
tors. After a thorough Investigation
the navy board has ordered a revision
of the text books and the course of
study, laying special stress on the fact
that students should be given more
instruction In electrical and steam
engineering and less In rhetoric and
literature.
Under the new order greater atten
tion will be paid to the study of prac
tical navigation, astronomy, mathe
matics, electrical and steam engineer
ing, with a special course In French
and Spanish, to take the place of the
former thorough training In rhetoric
and literature. Seagoing officers will
be detailed as Instructors at the acad
emy, Instead of having the science of
navigation taught by men who under
stand it only In theory.
This action of the authorities seems
eminently proper. The advantage of
having an orator In charge of a battle
ship does not appeal very strongly to
the landlubber's sense of eternal fit
ness. History furnishes no Illustrations
of naval victories that have been won
by men with oratorical accomplish
ments. "Don't give up the ship," "We
hav met the enemy and they are
ours," "You may Jlre when you are
ready, Grldley," and a few -toon mots
of that kind contributed to the nation's
literature by naval officers are all elo
quent enough, but none of the authors
was trained elocutionist. In this lat
ter day, with the navy officer a prime
favorite in society clrclos nt Washing
ton, Newport, liar Harbor and other
fashionable resorts, the orator and the
elofutionlat have had some chance to
show their training to advantage, but
the world Is getting more prsctlcal and
the decision of the authorities at An
napolis Is In keeping with the spirit
of the day.
FIXIXQ THE SCHOOL LEVY.
Members of the finance committee
of the school board are figuring on the
school levy, which must be certified to
the city council before the end of the
current month. Our schools have cer
tain sources of Income outside of the
proceeds of taxation, which are reason
ably steady from year to year. The
Income from licenses, from police
court fines and from state apportion
ment can be counted on with fair reg
ularity, leaving the tax levy as the
elastic item on that side of the school
budget. While the taxpayers will
cheerfully respond to all the necessary
demands for the support of the public
schools, they rightfully object to any
addition to the tax burdens that is not
needed or which is not properly im
posed upon them.
The one item which has entered Into
the school levy, about which there Is
serious question, is that for the pur
chase of school sites and the construc
tion of new buildings. The board has
for some time past been setting aside
$2 5,000 a year for this purpose, al
though nt the same time it has been
putting $40,000 to $50,000 a year into
the sinking fund to liquidate bonded
obligations incurred in' the erection of
school buildings in previous years. In
other words, we have been paying
from $65,000 to $75,000 a year out of
current taxes into the capital account
of the schools In addition to paying all
the running expenses and keeping the
plant In a constant state of repair.
It should not require a diagram to
show that this is doubling up on the
taxpayer making him pay for new
buildings and old buildings at one and
the same time. If we are to pay off
the bonds issued for the old buildings
we should let those who come after us
pay proportionately for the new build
ings from which they are to derive
most of the benefits. . We understand
that the school board financiers are
considering the elimination of the con
struction Item as a charge against the
school levy. This should have been
done long ago and should now be done
without further hesitation.
Down at Lincoln the franchlsed cor
porations have been fighting again for
reductions In their assessments before
the county Board of Equalization. Up
here at Omaha that question was set
tled several years ago and the fran
chlsed corporations have come to the
conclusion that the wise thing to do is
to accept the reasonable valuation
made by the assessor without pursuing
any complaints higher up.
The democratic World-Herald prayB
for the time when the negro vote "will

by prejudice," and thereupon proceeds
to Incite negro prejudice over the
Brownsville affair. In the meantime

southern states are being persistently
put into execution.
Local bill posters are complaining
against the distribution of handbills
by unlicensed circulators. The hand
bill nuisance Is chiefly responsible for
littering the streets with paper and
constitutes a nuisance that should be
absolutely prohibited and not li-nsed

The democratic World-Herald is
very naturally worried over the sur
plus In the federal treasury. A treas
ury surplus is a purely republican
creation, as distinguished from deficits
and bond issues in times of peace that
characterize democratic national ad
ministrations. Ambassador Aokl says there are
many reasons why Japan does not
want to fight the United States. The
authorities at Washington have or
dered sixteen of those reasons to pro
ceed to San Francisco, chaperoned by
Admiral Evans.
Another penitentiary convict par

The Pennsylvania tailroad has made

Thirty thousand ton of steel rails have

trust and they will be made on the open

plants ought to have been atlrred by the
appalling number of railway disasters due to
hasty and imperfect manufacture, and loud
and imperative Is the challenge to them to
do better work. If Mr. Schwab, with all

They have a story in Colorado to the ef
fect that the supreme court of that state
once held a law to be unconstitutional
which had been passed In accordance with
an express provision of the state constitu
tion. About as extreme Is the position
takon by a Chicago judge who decides that
a law of" the stfHe, prohibiting divorced
parties from marrying again within a year.
Is "against public policy," and therefore not
binding upon any one. The law may be
clearly within the constitutional powers of
the legislature, as no doubt it is, but in tha
view of this Judge It may b set aside If
contrary to what he considers good publlo
policy. This Is where the legislative power
assumed by the court approaches Infinity.
A WAIL FROM CANADA.
Western Farmer's. Experience with
Manitoba Weather.
Washington Post.
Many of the western farmers who sold
their high-priced lands and moved to Can
ada, where they could get' lands Juat as
fertile for a tenth of the price for which
they sold, have been heard from In term
highly eulogistic of their new homes. But
ona of these new residents of the Dominion
at any rate Is extremely tired and makes
a pitiful complaint. He says that frosts
begin In August and that beginning In
November the thermometer stands at from
86 to GO degrees below zero, with snow over
three feet on the level, while around the
houses It drifts until It covers house, barn
and even haystacks. The snow drifted
seven feet deep around his house last win
ter and remained frozen hard until May.
He had to cut steps to bis barn and was a
prisoner In his house all winter. Worst of
all, he reports that they had on an average
one blizzard a week from November 18 to
April S. while In summer they suffered
from hot winds. For weeks In winter the
trains were stopped and there were no
malls or news of any kind from the outside
world. Many people were without coal
during the worst weather and some were
even without wood and wore compelled to
burn straw and fence post. Those were
hard lines, but In some winters similar
conditions have been experienced In north,
trn Maine. But farmers In Maine thus
situated manage to make a good living
and educate their children. They could not
easily be Induced to move to a warmer
climate.
BIG DlVlDKNDS FROM UHAI.V.
Secret of Germany's Great Prog reft
and Prosperity.
Cleveland Leader.
It la Impossible to make a candid survey
of Industrial and commercial conditlona in
Cermany. however hasty and superficial,
without doubting whether natural advan
tagessoil, climate, harbors, minerals, etc.
play any such part In determining the
success or failure of nations as la gener
ally supposed. In Germany It seems evi
dent that the secret of great national
prosperity and progress is mainly a matter
of brains.
The German empire Is much leas favored
by nature than some of the rivals It is
leaving behind. Its coasts had few natural
harbors of much value. Its soil is only
mediocre, for the moat part. The climate
is not especially good. There are valuable
and Immensely Important deposits of min
erals, but other countries which do not
come anywhere near the German rate of
iidvancement are Just as well endowed In
that respect.
What la it but bralna carefully trained
and industrious brains which makes pos
sible the huge dividends paid by the great
chemical companies in Germany?. One,
with a capital of 2.f,O00. earned net
profits last year of $1.19P.OCO. Another, on a
capital of K0.W, cleared M.143.000. A
third chemical company in the Frankfort
district made net profits of S1.311.CO0 on a
capital of I2.3WU0O. A corporation special
izing In aniline, cleared M.0i,X0 on a little
less than t6.O0.CKO capital, and another In
the aame branch of Industry made net
prc flts of $U90, on I2.142.0W In capital.
Nothing In the natural endowment or
position of Germany accounts for such
tremendous success la on of the most com
plex and highly developed of all productive
industries. It Is German bralna and above
j all the systematic, careful and thorough
education or German boys and young men
which explain the wonderful growth and
profits of the German chemical Industry.

American cltliens of foreign birth who
have made comfortable fortunes In the
United States and returned to their native
land leisurely to live out their days are
reported to be very much disturbed over
the prospect of losing their American
cltlaenshlp through the operation of the
new naturalisation lam-, which went Into
effect July 1. The particular cause of their
agitation la a clause In the law which
reada: "When any naturalised citizen aliall
have resided for two years In the foreign
state from which he came It shall be pre
sumed that he has ceased to be an Ameri
can cltiten, and his place of general abode
shall be deemed his place of residence' dur
ing said yeara." The effect of this law Is
already felt In Germany, where there are
from 10,000 to 15.000 German-Americana. The
law permits them to overcome the pre
sumption of residence In their native land
by" presentation of satisfactory evidence to
the consular officers of the United States,
but the desire to remain In the fatherland
makes the step difficult If not impossible.

The return of a aoclallst memher of
Parliament at the Jarrow by-electlon in
place of a liberal la the direct result of the
new policy of the Irish nationalist party to
fight both the leading British partlea. It
marka a new phase In the home rule cam
paign, a phase which was outlined in Red
mond's recent manifesto. Instead of sup
porting the liberal candidate at Jarrow,
where there are computed to be about t,0U)
Irishmen, who voted the liberal ticket at the
last election, the Irish party at this election
put up their own candidate. The result
was to draw bo many votes from tho liberal
ticket as to defeat Its candidate and elect
the socialist and labor candidate. It had
been expected that the result would be the
election of the unionist, who is also a
tariff-reformer, otherwise a Chamberlain
follower, so that the outcome Is a surprise.
The Irish nationalist candidate. Alderman
O'Hanlon, evidently received the fewest
votes of all the four candidates, but enough
to be effective.
Among the numerous privileges granted
the Germane by the Ottoman government
none exceeda In general Interest the conces

amplified by mining, colonisation, naviga
tion, generation of electricity and other
subsidiary rights of a railway through Asia
Minor and Mesopotamia to the Persian
gulf. At present the work of construction
Is at a halt In the Taurus mountains, aa no
money Is available for the mileage guar
anty. On both sides of the railroad line in
Mesopotamia are said to be the bitlmlnous
and petroleum fields. It is calculated that
Anatolia, Syria, Mesopotamia and the Irak
can produce more grain than Russia To
thia are added the vast possibilities of the
cotton supply In Western Asia. The Ger
mans, In looking forward to the completion
of the Bagdad railway, are not unmindful
of their commercial opportunities In Persia
and In India. The Bagdad concession ad
mits of the Germans utilizing all waters

such power will eventually be used for

Dr. Welakirchner, the candidate of the
Christian socialists, was elected president
of the new Austrian chamber by 351 out of
490 possible votes. His only opponent, tho
Socialist Herr Perneratorfer, obtained 101
votes. The Czechs decided not to oppose
him, and he thus received the support of
tho Poles, the Christian socialists, the non
clericals, Germans and the Czechs. This
combination Is regarded as a sign that the
Influence of the Neue Frele Presse which,
as the chief organ of German nationalism
In Austria, has for years promoted discord
between Germans and Czechs Is seriously
waning, and that the control of the German
element in Austria ta passing into other
hands. The Neue Frele Presse has propa
gated Pan-Germanism much more effect
ively than many of the avowed Pan-German
Journals. Dr. Welskirchner is a com
paratively young man, having been born
In March, ltd. As the son of Dr. Lueger's
schoolmaster he has always enjoyed the
favor and protection of the Christian so
cialist leader, and he la said to have filled
with competence all the municipal offices
he has hitherto held. He la deserlbed as
an orthodox Catholic politician unaffected
by clerical fanaticism. In his short address
'to the house he emphasized the need for
! positive social reform, and promised to be
I scrupulously impartial. His racial charac
ter as a German would, he said, not pre
j vent him from being Juat to other races of
I the fatherland.
The following are among the principal
passages of a recent article in the Inspired
Cologne Gazette on the subject of the re
cent agreements between France, Spain
and Kngland: "At best the question re
mains unanswered why this agreement was
concluded, not only without Germany, but
why It waa concluded at all; and why,
moreover, should France choose a moment
like the present In order once more to pro
claim, this time without Germany, princi
ples which It had already established by
a treaty in conjunction with Germany seven
years ago? It may be said that France
haa only desired to make assurance doubly
sure. This motive, however, can only
apply ao long a the present groupings of
the powers England, France and Spain;
England and Japan; France and Russia,
on tho one side; and the old triple alliance
on the other do not make their Influence
felt In any other direction than In that of
the common and of maintaining the peace
1 of the world. But the situation would as
sume a different aspect if the first of these
, groups were either on principle to obstruct
the German empire, and ith It Auatrla
jllur.fcaiy and Italy, upon Its pathway In
; the pursuit of which we are determined to
1 assert our Interests, or should attempt to
exert a pressure which, as Prince Buelow
saya, la bound to create counter pressure."
The article concludes with a vindication of
I the triple alliance and with the reminder
that Germany, Austria, and Italy are today
bound by their own interesta as closely as
ever to one another. "A powerful German
empire," it Is observed, "is and remains
for Austria-Hungary and Italy the surest
guarantee of their own unhindered exist
ence and prosperity, if things were pushed
to extremes, their Interests would compel
them to take their places by the aide of
Germany, even if they were no longer to
feel themselves bound by treaty obliga
tions. LONGWCRTHS ON THE COAST

GOOD LITTLE GODS FOR INDIA.
How Million of Fantastic Deltle Aro
Produce for Population.
. . New Tork Trlbun.
Few of us realize that Into th vat tri
angle of Hindustan la packed one-fifth of
the entire human race more than 200,000,000
Hindu. 60,000,000 Mohammedans, 10,000.000
aborigine and well over 35,000,000 of other
miscellaneous people, making up a popu
lation of over 800,000,000, peaklng acorea of
different language and divided Into hun
dreds of separate state.
Th most important Industry of India Is
agriculture, for the people are a rac of
farmers, and nearly two-thirds of th
masses cultivate the soli, eking out a living
so scanty that the slightest failure of the
monsoon bring acute distress, if not pos
itive famine.
It Is perhaps for this reason that India
is the most god-ridden region on earth.
Its deities are numbered In millions; for
quite apart from the greater goda, every
little hamlet between the tremendous Him
alayas and Cape Comorln haa its own set
of deities, dreadful and beneficent.
From this It will be seen that god-making
In India must necessarily be an Immense
business, and just now there Is much feel
ing among the native artificers over this
holy and profitable Industry being cut Into
by foreign merchants and traders. Only the
other day an enormous five-tiered Jugger
naut car of gaily painted steel and wood was
made In Calcutta, and of late years Birm
ingham and Philadelphia have both se
cured big slices of the traffic In goda.
Every village, especially In south India,
Is supposed to be surrounded by evil spir
its, always on the watch to inflict dlseaae
and misfortune on the people. At the same
time every little hamlet has also Its guar
dian splrlta who ward oft the evil ones and
protect the villagers from epidemics of
cholera, smallpox, cattle disease, famine
and all the dire and manifold Ilia that In
dian flesh is heir to.
The names of these village deities are In
deed legion and some of them are quite
unintelligible to the people themselves. On
the other hand, many of them have mean
ings which show clearly their close connec
tion with country life. Thus the "Village
Goddess," the "Great Mother," tha "Water
Goddess," the "Goddess Who Presides Over
Buttermilk," the "Goddess Who Sits Under
a Mango Tree," and so on. In the Hamll
country Marl-amman, the Goddess of Small
pox, both Inflicts and chases away this
dread disease.
Sometimes there Is no permanent Image
or symbol of a village deity, hut a special
clay effigy a couple of feet high Is made
for each god festival by the village potter.
Again, the deity may be represented by a
rough, stone pillar stsnilng under a tree or
In the open field, i-t by the figure of a
woman carved In high relief upon a stone
slab.

When a girl Is around and Is watching of
you
It Is wonderful all of the things you can
do;
You ran run twice as fast and can Jump
twice aa high,
You can turn a neat handspring and never
half try;
You can hop, skip and Jump, and you're
never afraid
To take any kind of a dare that Is made;
You can hang by your toea twenty feet
from the ground
On the limb of a tree when a girl is
around.
When a girl Is around and you're sure that
she sees.
You can do your best tricks on the swing
ing trapeze;
You can Jump a high fence with the grace
fnlest spring
And hang by your toes from the ropes of
the swing
When It's going Its best what If you get a
fall.
You say that It really don't hurt you at
all,
If It makes you see stars and you're up
with a bound
And a smile on your face when a girl la
around.
When a girl Is around oh, the heroes we
are!
Who can leap twice as high, who can Jump
twice as far.
Who can cut up such antics aa never be
fore. Who can conquer all worlds and then look:
out for more;
From sloughs of dead level as giants we
stir
To prove all our might and our prowess
to her;
And we reach dizzy heights at a leap and a
bound
As the lad at his play when a gU-l Is
around.
GIRL BABY'S
Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease-
Tried Five Doctors but brew
Worse In Agony Eight Months
Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED
"Out little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said it waa. We called
In the family doctor and he gave soma
tablet and said she would be all right
in a few days. The eczema crew worsa
and we called in doctor No. 3. H
said she was teething, as soon as tha
teeth were through she would bo all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time she waa nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he coujil
help her, so -we let him try It about
a week. One morning; we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of her
eyee. Of course wo phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that be could not do any
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. S.
Wall, that proved tho same, only h
char (red $10 more than doctor No. 4.
We wore nearly ciiscouraKed. I saw
one of the Cuticura advertisement in
the paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and
purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me $1, and In three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great Improve
ment, and in one week all sores had dis
appeared. Of course it oould not re
store the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticura in time I am confident that
it would have saved tho eye. We think
there is no remedy so good for any skirt
trouble or impurity of the blood as
Cuticura. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abbott,
