T., AUGUST, 1910 Speaking of the Election. Did we lose anything? Arguing that one never loses anything one never pos- sessed. WE lost nothing when the election was lost, for it appears we never even had a chance of winning. Besides. what we really had was the RIGHT in the matter, and it would be downright silly to call that lost, because, forsooth. a timid, befooled or degenerate majority voted WRONG. "IJut didn't you really think you'd win —"win out," in the popular sense?" Aye, we own up. We're just that sort of political "plum fool." We counted on something that wasn't there, but chiefly, we didn't count on something that was there We banked on the Hawaiian political conscience, and idiotically overlooked the Hawaiian's political training. It's that training we want to discuss right here. It is the secret of the '"losing" of the election. We can't prove that the Hawaiian collective conscience was with us on the "yes" side of that election, but we believe that it was,—is yet. Hut the money, the organization, the autos of the liquor people were convincingly in line with all of the Hawaiian's political experience, and of course, "won out.' "Why the other side, the Prohibs, just naturally didn't have interest enough in the election to buy up a man, tote a voter to the polls, much less stay around to button-hole every possible vote." Isn't the inference plain ? The Hawaiian had been trained to believe that Prohibition had no political right to win. Who Trained the Hawaiian Voter? "If you want to win this election," said a prominent gentleman when the campaign first started, "it will cost you about two dollars a vote." "Surely, a bit of prophecy," you say. Not at all, it was simply history. Some of the leading Hawaiians, genuinely interested to win in the Prohibition plebiscite, proposed a campaign involving the raising and spending of about fifteen thousand dollars. They were much crestfallen when told that the occasion that had arisen was not one of party politics, and that no such sum of money, even if it could be raised, might be spent in such a cause. "Why, the Republicans spent over $30,000 in a cam- paign?" Do they? How? Not criminally —there being no law. as in many States, to land the purchasers of votes in the penitentiary. Not wisely, we dare aver. Not without the heavy penalty which party and leaders pay when, they teach We a people to debauch the franchise. paid some of this penalty July 26. The proposition, put simply and frankly, is that the Republican party is largely responsible for the notion, very nearly prevalent among the Hawaiians, that the franchise is chiefly valuable for what there is to be made out of it. This was the weapon in the hands of the liquor men, many of whom wire leaders in party politics (though we would be willing to waive that last claim) that "did the business." "Here," thought the Hawaiian voter, "is the Simon-pure article of politics calculated to win out. This organization perspires dollars just like the Republican machine (which it resembles in other particulars), and there does not seem to be any other party in the running." We risk little when we call that the story of the election, and claim further that no Prohibitionist who happens to be a Republican has the right to rail at the Hawaiian voter. No. 8 that the Son of Righteousness would counsel us not to close up the saloons if our votes would do it. Would he tell us that something worse might happen if we forbade men their saloons, or that they had better be free than sober"? We hail Expediency as the greatest as well as the most insidious foe of Right. We fear him more than open opposition. Politics is ninety per cent Expediency—we do not know whether there is a remaining ten per cent. Hence we have no dependence on party manipulation to bring an end to the saloon. When (iod's word to the Christian churches of America is heeded. Christian votes will wipe out the saloon, nor will Non-Christian votes they stop there. will doubtless swell the overwhelming majority. Given a hope in the final conquest of the King, we can afford to differ in regard to the King's programme. T. R. Aole Loa.

We were simply out^meraled, What Chance Has Prohibition, Then? �THE FRIEND, 4 and the real issue went glimmering in a wilderness of billingsgate. The verdict of the twenty-sixth of July was no true record of the Hawaiian voters' genuine will atxnit the liquor business. It was a demonstration of their insufficiency for such a test: of the impossibility of a fair election in this territory, on any issue; and of the futility of trying to suppress the hideous trade by territorial action—which, after all, may have been, at the last analysis, the real issue in the campaign. And the end is not yet. The first sentiment aroused by a study of the plebiscite from the inside is pity for the native voters. To see a fine native race, after the most marvelous advantages ever enjoyed by such a people, and in complete possession of a wonderful opportunity, go down in such a shallow pool of dirty politics, was a sight to dim the very eyes of civilization. Hut just that is what we have just witnessed. Individual Hawaiians may make good in politics hereafter, but the race, as a race, is out of the race forever, save as the ball to be snatched and carried and kicked by strong teams of white competitors who can play the game. If the liquor problem of Hawaii is discouraging, the general electoral problem is a given-up conundrum. Not knowing who, or what, specifically, is entitled to my humble confession, I apologize to infinite space for having been so dully credulous as to accept the "lemon"aid disguised in the joint resolution of Congress; although, to be sure, the special election has not made the electoral condition worse. It could not be much worse. The plebiscite has even done good. It has given a lot of good citizens, who had not thought much u|>on the subject, a glimpse of the hopelessness of a political situation where the masses are treated and have to be treated as inert and unmoral suffrage "material" to be "handled" in the interest of the "interests." The plight of the decent whites is even more pathetic. It is a tragedy in civics when high-class men of culture, benevolence, high ideals and great ability have to confess themselves possessed of nothing but money that can be safely invested in political enterprise. It is worse than tragedy. It is a farce with the murder of democracy at the end. Worst of all, of course, is the case of the patrons and victims of the victorious bloodsucker. The effect of the emphatic defeat of prohibition will doubtless be a great increase of appetite and "liberty" and scorn of restraint on the one hand and of redoubled and more merciless exploitation of the weak and degraded, on savage: August, l'no. the duction, pauperism and wife-beating?

March 22nd, I<MO. The death of one loved and respected by so large a circle of friends and relatives seems to call for fuller notice. His father was the well known veteran missionary, the Rev. W. P. Alexander. I le was born at Waioli, Kauai, Jan. 7th, 183( >. His father was transferred from that station in 1843 to Lahainaluna, which was the home of the family during the next ten years. He was educated at I'unahou, wliere he was a student from 184') until 1860, first under the Rev. Daniel Dole, and then under Pres. E. G. Heckwith. After leaving that school, he was employed in various capacities in agricultural work, took a course in Heald's Business College, and finally learned the art of sugar boiling in Louisiana, and followed that profession for a number of years, both here and in these islands. Finding that his health suffered from the strain of this exacting employment, he started a cattle ranch in Kohala. Wholly unselfish as he was, and of stainless honor, he was yet subjected, in this part of bis life, to severe trials, of which more cannot be said here. In 1888 he disposed of his interest in the ranch, and removed to California, where he carried on a fruit farm in Shasta county, near Redding, with varying success, for many years. On the sth of April. 1905. he was happily married to Miss Ina H. Weist, at Red Hluff, Cal. Soon afterwards he returned to these islands, and invested in a pineapple farm at Haiku, Maui, which he carried on until a short time before his death. About the first of last March, he purchased a house and lot in Manoa, where he expected to spend many peaceful and happy days among his friends. Hut it was not to be. His removal was to be from this to a better home above. He died from a sudden attack of angina pectoris at his Haiku home on the 23d of last March. His funeral services, which were held the next day at the Paia church, were conducted by the Rev. E. B. Turner, and then what of him was mortal was laid to rest in the Makawao cemetery. He was greatly loved and respected by those who knew him in California, as well as in these islands. One writes of him that "he was one of the kindest, sincerest and best of men." Another friend writes: "Perhaps what impressed me most in him was his sweetness of nature, the fact that years of loneliness and sorrow produced not one particle of bitterness. Another strongly marked and beautiful trait was his love for his own. It is a cause of gratitude to us all that Ina came into his life and brightened it THE 5 FRIEND so well, and made his latter years so happy."

It seemed to him unreasonable that business conducted on high Christian principles should not be as remunerative as business conducted according to the lax moral ideals of the business world. Interesting and convincing investigation along this line led him into the advocacy of the following plan of investments, whereby persons may enjoy in security the fruits of their labors as long as they live, and at the same time be assured that their savings, after they no LIFE ANNUITY, THE IDEAL INVESTMENT Hy Henry A. Collins, "The Life Annuity Man." The only bond worth having is the life annuity bond, for it is the safest, the most lucrative and by far the most satisfactory bond of the present day. No other bond contains so many valuable features. Although life annuity bonds have been sold for more than a hundred and fifty years in the United States, yet there is now a much greater demand for them than, at any time in our past history. The United States Congress is now investigating old-age pensions and life annuities now in o|)eration in other countries, with a view of taking up a similar business. Life annuity bonds may be purchased on the life of one or more persons from three years of age and upward. The rate of interest is determined by the age of the individual for whom the annuity is purchased. The older the person is the higher the rate of interest is paid. The organization that receives money on the life annuity plan can and does pay a much higher rate of interest than the usual business rates, for the reason that at the death of the annuitant all interest payments cease and whatever sum that has been paid by the annuitant becomes the exclusive property of the organization having issued the bond. The economical management and no watering of stock also permits the higher rates of annuity interest. Annuity interest is usually payable annually, semi-annually or quarterly. The history of the life annuity business shows that nearly one-half of all the annuity bonds issued are purchased by peo(Continued on page iS) �Augst,1910. THE FRIEND 6 A GOLDEN WEDDING. Professor W. D. Alexander, LL.D. and his honored wife* celebrated their golden wedding Monday, July 18. A large number of friends assembled in the afternoon, filling house and lanais and overflowing into the beautiful grounds. The Hawaiian band was present, and added greatly to the pleasure of the occasion. Decorations and mottoes which had been made by the late W. W. Hall for the wedding fifty years before, were hanging on the walls. Some of the friends who attended the wedding in 1860 were with the company of 1910. Judge S. B. Dole and Rev. O. H. Gulick made addresses of a reminiscent character, and presented golden gifts, toward which many friends had contributed. Professor Alexander responded with very happy remarks. Mrs. Sereno E. Dishop, who was a guest of fifty years ago, and also at this time, had dictated the following paper which was read by Mr. Frank Damon: FIFTY YEARS AGO. Mrs. S. E. Hishop. As I was present at the marriage of these friends it gives me much pleasure today to renew my congratulations as they pass this golden milestone. May their pathway still be onward and upward, and peace, honor and happiness crown their future lives. Knowing the intimacy of the families it caused no surprise to friends that Father Alexander's eldest son William chose Dr. Baldwin's eldest daughter Abbie for his bride. The wedding occurred on the evening of Wednesday, July 18, 1860, at Lahaina, in the old rambling missionary house then occupied by Dr. Baldwin, which some of you may remember. A short time previous Mary Parker. Abbie's intimate friend, came to help in arranging for the festive occasion. There was ho confectioner to aid in those days. and all preparations must be made at home. Important gatherings were held in Mother Haldwin's room, and various cookbooks were consulted. The wedding fruit cake caused the most anxiety, but decisions were made and work began. The dining room was the scene of ac- tion. The old koa sideboard spread open its resources, and the long table was filled with materials. Busy hands were at work stoning raisins, washing currants, beating eggs, etc. The bride's loaf was Abbie's own handiwork. These loaves which were too large for the home oven were consigned to a Chinaman in town with fear and trembling. The results were successful. Chattering and merriment made a happy scene. Once cream of tartar was required, and application was made to Dr. Baldwin's medical dispensary. He looked Up with wondering surprise, saying, "That is a medicine; what do you want it for?" But he doled it out. We noticed, however, that he frequently took occasion to pass through the dining room watching our proceedings. The old domestics of the house were also much interested. Kali, the cook, often looked in at the back door, and the dignified old Kealoha sat at the window near by with her mending basket, fully enjoying the scene. The Alexander family from Wailuku and a few friends from Honolulu had arrived. Verbal invitations were given to the Andrews and Pogue families of Lahainaltma, and to ourselves—the Bishops—who lived next door, to be present at the ceremony. Written invitations to a reception afterward were sent to those living in the town: Mr. and Mrs. Chandler, of the U. S. Consulate; Dr. and Mrs. White. Mr. and Mrs. Brayton. Captain and Mrs. Bailey, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Everett, Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bond, Mr. and Mrs. Howies and their daughters (Mrs. Caverly and Miss Louise). Mr. G. D. Oilman. Mr. Bartow and Mr. Hustace. In due time the house was decorated and all was ready. Leis of made were festooned from the ceiling. Mottoes which you see here today were made at that time, the lettering being of mousefoot. These were placed on the wall, wreathed in green. One corner of the parlor was filled with green, dotted with white flowers. At the appointed hour the bridal party entered from the dining room, passing diThe bride and rectly to this corner. first, attended by four cougroom came pies: Emily Baldwin, the bride's sister; Henry Alexander, the groom's brother; Mary Parker and George Beckwith, Annie Alexander and W. W. Hall; Kitty Hall and Henry Baldwin. The bride wore a dainty white dress (made in the prevailing hoop style of that day), looped with orange blossoms, and a dainty long white veil, also fastened with orange blossoms. The veritable dress is seen here today. The two fathers officiated in the ceremony. Dr. Baldwin tied the knot, and Father Alexander gave his blessing. Family congratulations followed, and the other guests soon arrived. Mrs. Caverley and Miss Bowles, recently come from the States, were especially attractice to the younger members of the family by their pretty lace evening dresses, so daintily trimmed. These ladies added much to the enjoyment by their pleasant songs. After much urging Mrs. Caverly sang a comic song, entitled "His Name was Only Common Hill." After a pleasant social hour, all repaired to the beautifully decorated sitting room of the brother, D. D. Baldwin, where bountiful refreshments were served. At an early hour the gay company dispersed amid congratulations to the happy pair. The next morning the Alexander family left by steamer for their home, and at a later hour in the day, on Friday, the 20th, a party of young friends accompanied the bride and groom on horseback over the rough and rugged mountain road to the Alexander home at Wailuku. cße Strong I Be strong!

This story was told at college. A young man attended a fraternity dance. Before going, however, he had visited a number of places to get liquor refreshment, and got to the dance hall rather the worse for it. Of course no one warned-to dance with him. Undismayed by this, he took his coat tails in his hands and walttzed himself over the floor. Repeated invitations to leave had no avail, so finally he was led to the stairs and thrown down. When he reached the ground he was heard to say, in a drunken mumble, "I knew why you threw me out. You can fool some people, but you can't fool me. You threw me out because you didn't want me." For this same reason the people voted against prohibition. They didn't want it. Of course there was lots of money spent by the liquor men, and we think undue influence brought to bear. But I think 7000 to 2000 represents more than undue influence. c* What We Got. Mr. A. L. Gordon, assistant secretary of the Railroad Y. If. C.

Boys' Department will cooperate, and Ernest Thompson Seton, whose woodcraft books and Indian life studies furnished much of the basis of Baden-Powell's scout principles, will give it his aid. The Boy Scouts started with such a rush in England that General Baden-Powell, Mr. W. I!. Wakefield and others found it necessary to give all their time and strength to save it from becoming an irresponsible mob. As it is, they have made constructive units in the nation, and thrifty, intelligent and useful citizens, of boys who otherwise would have been hooligans and gangs of backboncless loafers. The boys are taught and trained in everything that has to do with wholesome, hearty, out-ofdcor life, and drilled in responsible groups by trained volunteer scout leaders. The movement in England has broken down class barriers and brought together separated denominations as nothing before, besides keeping boys in Sunday-school at the period when 90 per cent of them drift away. Already there are a thousand boy scouts in Toronto. At Silver Bay this summer, Messrs. Seton and Wakefield will teach 150 Association camp leaders woodcraft and scoutcraft and lifecraft as well. Scout Principles as Told by English Visitors. The visit of W. B. Wakefield to America has given us a new light on the Scouts. At a dinner given him and Mr. Heald at the Union League Club by Seth Sprague Terry, chairman of the International Boys' Department, he said: "The Boy Scouts are to play a big part in the salvation of Great Britain. Their watchword. 'He prepared.' is not a war, but a a service watchword. A scout 'must go ahead of the rest for the good of the rest.' His solemn oath binds him to 'fear Cod and honor the king." He must tell the truth, be thrifty, cheerful, respectful to seniors, obey orders, be kind to animals and have a bank account of at least one shilling, so that he may be able to help the other fellow in the time of distress. The movement is not a military one, but for education and business. The boy is first admitted as a 'tenderfoot,' and remains on probation for a month. �8 To secure the 'second-class' scouts' badge he must learn first aid, bandaging, track half a mile in twenty-five minutes, or, if he is in town, describe* correctly the contents of one out of four shop windows, observed for one minute each, go a mile in twelve minutes at scouts' pace, lay and light a fire with not more than two matches; cook a quarter of a pound of meat and two |x>tatoes in his 'billy' (tin cup), and know the sixteen points of the compass. To obtain other rank as a scout he must go beyond this in scout craft— swim fifty yards, travel a distance, and report, must name sixty wild flowers, stalk and photograph a wild bird or animal, and measure the height of a tree or width of a stream by triangulation, etc. That the boys are taught real service has been shown by their readiness in emergencies. One group was first at a railroad accident; another, which was trained by firemen, prevented a conflagration by their readiness. They have stopped runaway horses, and saved many from drowning. In fact, they are taught to be citizens with their first thought the good of others. After a boy is fifteen or sixteen years of age, he will not be content with makebelieve, either at play soldier, with a wooden gun, or play Indian, with arrows. painted faces, or feathers. The same weakness is with the Boys' Brigade, antl the Knights of King Arthur, as Mr. Seton also found with his first Indians. A difficulty has been found in securing capable scout leaders —one for every eight to twelve boys. There is the utmost value in the hardy and practical training given by the long hikes, teachinb it lx>y to handle and provide for himself under all circumstances, to shoot, to canoe, to meet every difficulty without fear. These all can be wrought into a plan and sys- tem which will not only attract the small- er boy, but keep him engaged through his teens and into his twenties. Then the movement will be strong, especially as its leaders carry with all this valuable train- ing the scout Bible class instructions. A New Note on*Giving. There is a new note on giving.

A quiet day in Jersey City prepared the way for the thirtieth annual reunion in the Elm City. A college that makes friendship its cultural idea, as does Vale, is a good place to revisit. At all events our class —seventy out of a possible eighty—found it so, and every man of us left "the old home of days of long ago" with the hush of spirit that told the story of hours passed in the Holy of Holies. It was an experience that seemed but one step removed from a visit to Heaven. The good ship Romanic cleared Boston on time at the fashionable hour of high noon. Honolulu was well represented in the throng of farewellers by the Misses Bosher and Colwell in person, the Willard E. Browns in telegram, and not a few others by letter.

But for this professional coaching he might have been beaten. After five hours at Port Delgado, in the Azores, one is in a position to understand why Hawaii has so gootl an asset in her Portuguese. Neat houses, scrupulously clean streets, happy looking people, every available foot of land blooming with evidences of loving cultivation and picturesque scenes from every outlook tell the whole story.

Central Union News �THE August, 1010. Large Audiences Hear Dr. White In spite of the fact that an unusually large number of Central Union people are away this summer. Dr. White has from the very first Sunday had large audiences. The Sunday evening attendance has been especially large. This, no doubt, is partly due to the extensive advertising which we have given to these services. A large eight-poster bulletin board in front of the church and twelve smaller bulletin boards on the street down town have announced his subjects each week, while 1,000 cards distributed among the men in the stores, offices and shops have brought a direct invitation each week to at least a thousand men to attend the Sunday evening service. The large per cent of men in the Sunday evening audiences is noticeable. The newspapers, too, have given generous space to our announcements. I tut, while no doubt this thorough advertising has helped to get the attention of the general public it is the uniformly able, powerful addresses of Dr. White that have attracted and held the audiences. The popular character of his subjects arouse interest, and the masterful way in which he handles every subject wins and holds the people, some of whom have seldom been seen in church before. The subjects of his sermons have been as follows: AT THE MORNING SERVICES: 1. "The Keynote of Jesus Life" (Luke 19:10; 15:6. 7). 2. "The Everlasting Arms" (Deut. 33:27). 3. "Not to Destroy but to Fulfil" ( Matt. 5:17). 4. "The Three Specific Sins that Crucified Christ" ( 1. Cor. 15:3). 5. "An Expert's Definition of Life" ( Rom. 8 :61. 6. The Inheritance of the Meek" ( Matt. 5:5). 7. "The Flying Goal" (Matt. 5:47). And at the Evening Service: 1. "The Good Fellow and the Good Man" (Prov. 1:7. Ps. 111:10). 2. "Some One's Receiver is Down" (Mark 6:31). 3. "The Honor of the Flag " (a patriotic address delivered the evening before Independence Day). 4. "Making a Living, and Making a Life." 5.

An Important Business Transaction The Scribe's Corner At a special meeting of the church and congregation held on Wednesday evening, July 6, Central Union Church, voted to authorize the trustees to transfer all property held in its name at Palama Settlement to the new corporation of Palama Settlement when such corporation REV. WM. BREWSTER OLESON sympathy with the religious beliefs and missionary activities of Central Union Church, the property hereby deeded to Palama Settlement shall revert to the Central Union Church." Palama Settlement was organized as a mission of Central Union Church, and has always been largely sup]X)rted by the members of the church. The fact (hat it is now to be separately incorporated will, we are sure, in no wise lessen the interest of the church people in this important branch of work. this kind is probably essential in clearing the way for a better holding of virile beliefs. But the tearing down has been a dusty business at best, and men have looked at the ruins rather than at the resources for reconstruction. And it must be admitted that there has seemed to be more fun in the tearing down than there has been purpose in building again. But the building operations have certainly begun, and some of our ablest thinkers are it work in reconstructing religious belief. That is, they are using again the same materials very much, while placing them in more modern relations. Among the foremost builders of belief is Henry Churchill King, President of the Oberlin College, now a guest in Honolulu, returning homeward from an extended lecturing our in India, China, and Japan. The mere mention of the titles of some of his published works, such as "Rational Living," "Theology and the Social Consciousness," "The Seeming Unreality of the Spiritual Life," and ''Reconstruction in Theology," reveal the builder's outlook, and are a sort of blueprint copy of his fundamental purpose to help men forward surely and rationally into a wholesome religious belief. We welcome among us such a force in the religious life of the men of today. We wish Dr. King might make a longer sojourn with us. We extend our hearty grip to our honored guest, and in parting with him God-speed in the great work of building the thoughts of men into a sane, and hopeful and livable belief.

Something of Another Prominent Member Called In the death of Mr. Alexander Young Saturday, July 2, Central Union Church lost another most valuable member. Mr. Alexander was for many years a trustee of this church, and in that capacity always stood for progress and advance, lie was chairman of the Building Committee for the erection of the present magnificent building of Central Union Church. He was a regular attendant at the church services and always gave generously to the support of the church. One by one the vanguard lay down their work. It calls for men of ability and men of consecration to step in and fill their places. Private services were conducted at the home of Mr. Young at Waikiki at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, July 3, and afterwards a public memorial service was held in the church. Although the summe rseason, and the holiday following had taken a great many people away, a large concourse gathered to pay thev respects to Mr. Young, who for many years has held a prominent place in the The Plebiscite! social and industrial life of the city as It is settled at last, overwhelmingly settled, that Hawaii does not want prowell as in his church. on �10 hibition. But is it settled right ? ()ther prohibitionists are asking this question. It is one of the evidences that such matters never arc settled until they are settled right. For the real issue does not hinge on mere prohibition. That may or may not be the best method of meeting the greatest problem of modern times. Honest men differ as to the metb od of tackling the problem, but they agree as to the need of tackling it. And the need will never be absent until it is tackled for a throw-down. And therefore the problem cannot be kept out of politics. Not the problem of how prohibition can be secured, but the problem of how the saloon evil can be effectively minimized. Does any political party suppose that the two thousand men who voted for prohibition are not to be reckoned with at the polls? Is the saloon element going to control party nominations in the face of the fact that two thousand prohibitionists probably hold the balance of power in any election that may be held? Are these tinpiirchasable. unterrified two thousand, so innocent and forgetful as to believe that friends of the saloon in the Legislature will keep this question out of men than politics? Why Was It? Each man has his own explanation why prohibition was so signally defeated at the recent plebiscite; but one man's explanation does not satisfy the other man. Doubtless many influences account for the result. It is well that we should consider some of them. 1. The liquor interest is a strongly intrenched one. Its very existence was at stake. Hence it was compactly organized, and its campaign was pressed without scruple, and at no limit of expense, and with a master-hand in control. That in itself was a mortgage on victory. 2. The anti-saloon element was divided, some of the natural leaders in such a contest being publicly opposed to prohibition, others of the leaders being absent from the country, while the rank and file of prohibition voters took but scant part in any practical effort to win the day. That meant a mortgage on defeat. 3. Nearly four thousand registered voters did not go to the jxills. It is quite improbable that the saloon interests overlooked any of these whom it had the slightest hope of inducing to vote "No." It is altogether probable, judging on general principle, and with the experience gained in investigations elsewhere, that these men would have voted "Yes" had they been persuaded to vote at all. 4. Without wishing to criticwe«4hc- policy adopted by the prohibition committee, it should be said that the system of employing numerous runners to get out THE FRIEND the vote is so established in Hawaiian elections that the practical abandonment of the system by the committee undoubtedly spelled defeat to the extent of several thousand votes. 5. Political considerations compromised the situation in no small degree. The date of the plebiscite was unfortunate inasmuch as it precipitated the election just as the political parties were getting their organizations to work. Men desirous of political preferment wore afraid to meet the prohibition issue squarely on its merits. These conditions were favorable to the organized force in politics that is al- August. 1910 is not only to show the results of mission enterprise in the more direct evidences found in church buildings and statistics, but in the no less important features of a progressive community that have been born out of missionary enterprise.

There was unquestionably the survival of an old prejudice against prohibition instilled in the hearts of the people by the course of kings who forbade liquor Id their subjects while they used it themselves. ()nce the common people had prohibition against their wish. Now that the choice lay with themselves they refused to put themselves back into what seemed (o them like the class slavery of other days. 7. Demagogism was to the fore in the campaign, and demagogism is a trump card in elections in this county. X. Drinking habits tire on the increase among the people. And 1 lawaii wants no cross opposite the prohibition "Yes." l >. The question voted on was confusing. The question reiterated through the campaign was: "Do you want sal<x>ns?" "No," said our prohibition orators. So when the voters actually came to the polls, who knows how many voted "No" when their conviction called for a "Yes" vote? 10. Finally the evasive course of Prince Ktthio doubtless affected the result unfavorably for prohibition. We do not believe the question was decided on its merits. The majority, however, was such a decisive one that antisaloon men must now look in other directions for the effective curbing of the saloon evil. The World in Boston. Al last Hawaii has been assigned space in the exhibit hall of the great Missionary Exposition that is to he held in Boston in April, 1911. Now let every one interested contribute by suggestion and otherwise to make Hawaii's display a marked feature in the exposition. Among the things already suggested are relief maps of the Islands, models of Hawaiian fish, articles of furniture made of Hawaiian woods, lava specimens, oil paintings and photographs, Hawaiian curios, school displays, moving picture films, etc. The idea of the exposition Educational Advance F. W. DAMON Advance in the Mid-Pacific Institute. Steady advance has been made during the past year towards a fuller realization of this educational undertaking. Already has the girls' department of the Institute. Kawaiahao Seminary, rounded out two successful years of its history as a part of this new educational scheme. With the opening of the fall term, beginning September 12th, it is hoped that the boys' department, Mills School, will be definitely placed in its new and attractive home on the tine school campus in Manoa Valley, ready to enter upon what its friends trust will prove to be, with God's blessing, a long and fruitful career of useful and beneficent work. The spacious and imposing school hall, which is designed for the use of this latter department, is now rapidly approaching completion. Uninterruptedly for the past two years have large companies of workmen been engaged upon its construction. It is one of the largest buildings ever reared in the Territory and it is felt that it will be seen to be well adapted for the end for which it lias been planned. Those who have had charge of the work have been especially favored during the period of its construction by the fine weather which has prevailed, and by the quiet and temperate spirit which has characterized the scores of workmen, of different nationalities who have been engaged upon the building. In the basement are the workshops, laundry, baths, shower and tub, and all modern sanitary appliances. On the first floor are the dining room, recitation rooms, reception rooms, library and reading room. On the second floor are the sleeping nxjins for the teachers and the older boys, each boy having a separate room, and the magnificent assembly hall. On the third floor are the large dormitories, where the �August. 1910 THE FRIEND. smaller l>oys are under the special care of languages has l>een given throughout the the matron.

With the Mid-Pacific Institute in Manoa are the new playgrounds we hope to keep wholly free from debt, owing to the their physical development on a par with large-hearted and open-handed generosity of noble friends of this educational undertaking. An important beginning has been made in the line of endowment but it is but a beginning and there now arises with unmistakable emphasis the demand for its further development. Relations between the Mid-Pacific Institute, which has already taken over the Mills Institute, with certain other affiliated schools, namely, the Japanese boarding school and the Korean mission school ( Methodist) have been of the very pleasantest nature during the past year. From both these schools it is expected that a number of students will enter the Mid-Pacific Institute in September. A delightful evidence of the kindly feeling existing was seen in the union picnic, which took place in June, at which some two hundred persons were present in Manoa. A grand tour of the school grounds was made; the farm, in its different departments duly inspected ; the athletic field visited, after which the large company gathered in the splendid assembly hall of the boys' building, where interesting exercises were belli in English, Chinese. Japanese and Korean. Grandly did the voices of this student band sing in full chorus. "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Mow." thus fittingly acknowledging the divine source from which this new schoolhouse, with all its possibilities of helpfulness and inspiration, has come to them.

The new teachers who are to come in September are Miss Stambaugh, Miss Faust, Miss Hamilton, for grade work; Miss (loold for the sewing department, and Miss Wintie for music. Miss Ting will assist in the sewing department. Applications are coining in for next year. There is every indication that the school will be as large, if not larger than ii has been this year. Mills School and Mills Institute. Mills school is now the legal appelation of the boys' department of the MidPacific Institute. Mills Institute, after a history of some eighteen years has been merged in this new educational undertaking. Already the pleasant schoolhouse in Chaplain lane, which for so many years has been a busy center of youthful life, has closed its doors and as an independent institution has become a memory of the past. It is, however, a beautiful and helpful memory to those who have come under its influence. In IH( >2 six Chinese boys found hjere a home, and since that day there have been hundreds who have reason to remember through life the blessing it has been to them and to whom the "old school" will bt ever dear. God grant that its mottoes "Onward and Upward," may ever find an echo in their lives, and its ideals ever be to them a guide and inspiration! Mr. Merrill reports a registration in Mills Institute for the year ending June 30th, 1910, of "one hundred and thirtyseven (137)" students. Of these eightyone (81) were in the boarding department and fifty-six (56) in the day department.

The board of managers will find many matters calling for their earnest consideration in the conduct of the affairs of this school. The work, however, is one worthy of their best effort. The questions which will arise as to die care of the different races in the school, with their strong national feelings and prejudices, rivalries and temperamental peculiarities, will be many and insistent. The problems with reference to the food supply and its preparation for so varied a household will not be slight. The development of certain lines of industrial and agricultural pursuits will demand their attention, while financial responsibilities will be great and constant.

Today we pass the meridian of the Foreign Mission School in Cornwell, Conn., U. S. A., sailing westward 7 or 8 knots an hour. During 24 hours we have made nearly 5 degrees.

THE SPIRIT OF TRUE MIS- SIONARIES. Feb. 7.

March 11. Again we entered our own hemisphere. We have this day special occasion to acknowledge the kind providence of (iod. About 1 o'clock p. m. there was a calm, and several of the brethren and some others, having been denied the privilege many weeks, allowed themselves to enjoy the pleasant and healthful exercise of bathing in the ocean. Not long after they were safely out, while one of the sailors was employed in painting the bowsprit, with his feet in the water, a common sized shark was seen to approach him. Had he not been seasonably warned to avoid the monster he might have lost his limb, if not his life. The shark then played or rather raved around the brig with the boldness and fierceness of a hungry tiger. Ry the dexterity of George P. Tamosee and one of the mates a snare was fixed upon him. Then flouncing like a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke, he seized with violence the end of a long pole, and though it broke many of his front teeth, he held fast until by the pole and ropes he was drawn on board. The mingled emotions in our company arising from a sense of danger escaped by the gracious interposition of our divine and strong deliverer, evidenced by tears and congratulations, cannot easily be described. On opening the shark, the men found a porcupine fish, and a large beef bone which had been thrown overboard by the cook at the time the brethren were bathing, so that he could not have been far distant at that time. FALLING OVERBOARD OF MR. WHITNEY. March 27. It is with peculiar emotions of adoring gratitude that we acknowledge the distinguishing goodness of God, seasonably interposed for our deliverance this day. While Rrother Whitney was assisting in painting the outside of the vessel, which he considered not only as pleasant and profitable, but needful exercise, the rope by which he held with one hand gave way and let him fall from a temporary scaffold into the sea. His weight and the force of the ship entirely broke his hold from the rope and left him astern calling for help. Captain B's orders were promptly executed, and the brig, though under full sail at the rate of six or seven knots an hour, was "hove to" in less than five minutes anil stopped sailing. In the meantime Brother W.. whose perfect self-]x>sscssion and skill in swimming enabled him successfully to buffet the waves after one or two had broke over him, happily gained a small bench which had been providentially carried on deck a few minutes before and was thrown overboard to serve him as a temporary buoy. On this he was easily sustained after it had once or twice deceived him by rolling, though his strength was considerably exhausted. Never before did the mission family know how much they loved him. In five minutes more the boat was cleared away and let down and sent to his relief, which reached him in about five minutes at a distance perhaps of 1-6 of a mile. Refore the boat set off he raised his hat and waved it. lest his anxious wife should be too much disturbed, and then composed himself to prayer; while many hearts on board were in this soultrying hour lifted up to God in fervent petition that he would spare his life for his appointed work among the Gentiles Not far from 20 minutes after he fell, by the blessing of Him who had said "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee," he was safely returned and joyfully welcomed on board with many tears, and with thanksgiving to our strong deliverer who saved the sinking Peter, and who can with equal ease deliver those who trust in him from the waves and from the monsters of the deep, and from ungodly men.

B, this afternoon sent oft a boat to make inquiries respecting the king, etc. Mr. Hunnewell, a mate, Tho. fiopoo, J. Honoree, and others, went nearly to the shore and fell in with 10 or 12 native fishermen in their canoes, who readily gave the important information that the aged King Kamehameha is dead—that Rehoreeho, his son, succeeds him—that the images of bis gods are burned —that the men eat with the women in all the islands—that one chief only was killed in settling the affairs of government, and he for refusing to destroy his gods—that Reehoreeho, the young king, and Kimokoo. the first chief, sometimes called Billy Rett, both reside at Owhyhce. If these are facts they are interesting facts, and seem to show that Christ is overturning in order to take possession, and that these islands are waiting for his law, while the old and decaying pillars of idolatry are falling to the ground. The moment seems favorable for the introduction of Christianity and customs of civilized life. THE BISHOP FAMILY. By Mrs. S. E. Bishop. Rev. Artemas Bishop and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards Bishop, were members of the first reinforcement of the Sandwich Islands Mission. They arrived at Kailua after a six months' voyage from America in April, 1X23. Mrs. Bishop was warmly welcomed by her old friend, Mrs. Lucy Thurston, who had not heard that she was coming to the Islands. They proceeded to Honolulu and afterwards to Kauai where they spent a short time. They were soon permanently stationed tit Kailua, associates of the Thurstons. They immediately began active work among the people, who received them kindly. The chiefs Kuakini and Kapiolani welcomed them cordially and often visited them in their home. Mrs. Bishop's health failed and after a long and painful illness she died in 1828. This was the first death in the mission circle, and elicited sympathy from the natives, by whom she was much beloved. Her grave may still be seen in Kailua churchyard. She left two children, Jane Fmzabeth, aged two, and Sereuo, a babe of one year old. Kind friends shared with the bereaved father the care of the little ones. In December, 1828 Mr. Rishop married Miss Delia Stone, one of the four �August, 1910 single ladies who had joined the mission that year. Thus the family were again united in a home. The home is thus described in a letter to a friend: "Our house is thatched with very long leaves of a certain tree which grows in this country. There are no floors, but the rooms are spread with large mats made of the same material as the thatch. The mats are very neat when new but they soon become dirty and cannot be easily washed. The house does not have windows, but blinds. The weather is always warm here, so that it never snows as it does in New York." In IK3O Mr. Bishop built a more convenient house. This was of stone, with comfortable rooms and accommodations for the family and a separate building for a cook house. This is still intact, as you till see at the present time—also the heavy stone wall which surrounded the premises. The social life between the Bishop and Thurston families was very congenial. The children made daily trips back and forth, both using the same school books. Mrs. Bishop spent many hours teaching in the native schools, and in guiding and directing the native women. But the education of her own children was not neglected. They rose at four o'clock in the morning, that this might be accomplished. With the dim light of a whale oil lamp they poured over their books. Their efforts were so successful that when Elizabeth and Sereno went back East, at the age of thirteen, they were in advance of the children of their own age. Mr. Bishop spent much of his time in the work of translating the P.ible, and in preparing other literature for the natives. The proportion of the Rible translated by him was about nine and a half books. Mr. Rishop removed to Ewa, on Oahu in 1836, as pastor of that large and flourishing church. There was much interest at the time of the great revivals, when, standing in the door of the church, he would address those inside and also hundreds of eager listeners on the outside. Mr. Rishop remained at Ewa until failing strength permitted him no longer to minister to the church. He then moved to Honolulu, passing his last years in quiet Nuuatui Valley. He died Dec. 18, 1871.

The first edition of Mr. Burnham's catechism is freely distributed, through the kindness of Mrs. H. P. Baldwin, who for a long time, has desired something of the sort for the education of our young people. Our Young People �As conducted at present many of. the methods are out of date and need reformation. The six departments—Primary, adult, teacher training, home, temperance and missionary, are not well organized on all the islands, and very little is being done in some of these departments among the Hawaiian-speaking schools. The reasons for this are not hard to see. There is little in the line of literature for the schools conducted in Hawaiian and there is no way for some of the heads of departments to spread abroad their ideas among the people of all races here. Moreover, the chairmen of the work cannot accomplish much unless they secure sub-chairmen for the different islands. The efficiency of department work depends upon the faithfulness of the island leaders and district workers. In spite of all the barriers, progress is being made along the lines of approved Sunday school work. Many schools are doing splendidly. The weakness of the work is in its failure to provide proper support for the weaker schools, not financial but personal visitation and letters of encouragement and literature of the right kind and helpful county institutes at the time of the semi-annual church gatherings. It is true that the teacher training department is deriving support from the various island schools or institutes for ministers. If the ministers who are being instructed in new methods of work and improved systems of study, will only gather about them their teachers and give them the benefit of their new ideas and knowledge, then the problem will be solved, at least partially. The greatest work that the ministers may do in some places is in training their teachers and leading classes of young people to become teachers and workers. The home department is going forward in many localities, Oahu and Maui being perhaps in the front rank. The primary department is not well organized, neither are the adult, temperance and missionary. These last two subjects are usually presented adequately in the church services which are generally attended by the majority of the school pupils. During the recent campaign preceding the plebiscite, the subject of temperance was a very live one before the schools. A great deal of educational work in this subject has been done this year in Hawaii nei. The subject of missions is not presented very strongly in some schools, although an appeal is made for funds for work abroad, on the mainland and in the islands. It is in instruction and information in mission work among the peoples of foreign lands that we are weak. Can we not do something to arouse enthusiasm on this subject in our 15 THE FRIEND. August, 1910 island schools? We should pray more for missions in our prayers before the pupils, we should present the subject of mission work definitely, giving specific information that will interest the pupils, we should have missionary books in our school libraries, and encourage gifts to mission work abroad at home. The adult department has some problems jxculiar to these islands, and the systems that prevail in other lands may Among the Hanot be worked here. waiians there are adult classes, many of whom are doing excellent work. There is little organized work such as is being urged Upon us constantly by the officials of the International Association. There is a future for organized work along all the lines of the mainland work, but it will take much time and patience to put into operation the features that are desirable. A Sunday School Rally. On Sunday afternoon, July 24, there was a large parade and rally of the Sunday schools of Central Maui and parts of East and West Maui. Special trains brought the schools of Makawao, Pauwela, Paia, Spreckelsville, Puunene and Kahului to Wailuku, where they were met by a great gathering of the schools of Waikapu, Waihee and Wailuku. After the line of parade had been formed and banners given out to the paraders. the county band started a march, and the procession made its way to the green in front of the town hall. Here speeches were made by Messrs. Raldwin, White. Turner and Kalua. and rousing temperance songs were sung. It was a most successful affair, and gave evidence of the interest taken by the Sunday schools of Maui in the plebiscite. There were over five hundred in line and nearly a thousand at the rally. existing international agencies for the purpose of limiting the armaments of the nations of the world by international agreement, and of constituting the combined navies of the world an international force for the preservation of universal peace, and to consider and report upon any other means to diminish the expenditures of government for military purposes and to lessen the probabilities of war, THE FEDERATION OF THE WORLD. HAMILTON HOLT, Managing Editor the Independent. The foreign relations committee has just reported back favorably to the House of Representatives a bill bearing the name of Congressman Bennett of New York, providing for the appointment of a commission "to consider the expediency of utilizing existing international agencies for the purpose of limiting the armaments of the nations of the world by international agreement, and "Where is the Sunday School Lesson?"

Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Uinited States of America in Congress assembled, that a commission of five members be appointed by the President of the United States to consider the expediency of utilizing I tee by Hawaiian Board Book Rooms 60 Cents �of constituting the combined navies of the world an international force for the preservation of universal peace." This bill is a ways and means measure to bring about a world federation, limited to the maintenance of peace, so that our recommendations to the Third Hague Conference of 1915 may be well considered and far-reaching. It is indorsed by the New York Peace Society, the International School of Peace of Boston, and the New England Arbitration and Peace Congress held at Hartford, Conn., on May 11. If passed it will be the first time in history that a government has officially recognized that the true philosophy of the peace movement requires world federation as a prerequisite for universal peace. In his famous essay Perpetual Peace published in 1795. Emanuel Kant declared that we can never have universal peace until the world is politically organized, and it will never be possible to organize the world [>olitically until the majority of the nations have a representative form of government. At last all the IX'oples of the world have achieved in some measure representative government. Russia has its Duma; China has announced that shortly it will promulgate a constitution, while Turkey and Persia have each just gone through the throes of revolution and emerged with a If Kant's philovigorous parliament. sophy is sound, therefore, the world is at last ready for world organization and universal peace. The only two powers that ever have or ever can govern human beings are force and reason—war and law. If we do not have the one we must have the other. The problem before the world is how to decrease the area of war and increase the area of law until war vanishes and law envelopes the world. At the present moment the world is organized into fifty-nine nations claiming independence and within their territories—nominally at least—organization, law and l>eace prevail. We have already learned to substitute law for war in cities and states, and even up to the fifty-nine nations; but in that international realm over and above each nation in which each nation is equally sovereign, the only way at the present moment for a nation to secure its rights is by the use of force. August. 1910. THE FRIEND. 16 Force, therefore, or war, as it is called when exerted by a nation against another nation, is at present the only legal and final method of settling international differences. In other words the nations are in that stage of civilization today where without a qualm they claim the right to settle their disputes in a manner they would put their own subjects to death for imitating. The peace movement, therefore, is nothing but the process of substituting law for war. Rut how can we best create law in the international realm. Certainly not by the cumbrous methods of the present. Today there is no such things as a code of international law which is binding on the nations. What passes under the name of international law is simply a series of arguments, maxims, precedents and opinions. It is the work, not of legislators, but of scholars. The nations are at perfect liberty to accept it or reject il as they wish. Before we can have 'i real international law we must have behind it some conscious political organization to give it sanction and validity, and that implies a federation of the world. The history of international law prestriking analogies to the history of private law. Likewise, the history of the organization of the "United Nations," which is to give sanction to international law, will correspond to the history of the organization of the thirteen American colonies into the United sents States, therefore, furnishes the model for the United Nations. The Declaration of Independence foreshadows the declaration of interdependence The beginnings of world organization, however, have already taken place. In the Hague Court and the recurring Hague Conferences we see the germs of the international court and the parliament of man. The problem is how to develop these so that they will become the judicial and legislative departments of a ixjwerful world constitution, just as our Articles of confederation and Continental Congress developed into the present United States Constitution, which a century of storm and stress has not broken, and which still serves as a model to all the republics of the earth. A careful study of existing arbitration treaties and of the work of the first and second Hague Conferences shows that our international law is at the same stage of development as private law of about the tenth century, while the organization of the "United Nations" has reached the same stage of progress that our thirteen states did before the Constitutional Convention of 17K7. The problem, therefore, before the world is to perfect the Hague Courts and Conferences so that finally, if it be deemed necessary, we may even add ,1 world executive and thus create the united nations in the very image of the United States. The peace advocates from Perm and Kant and Hugo and Rurritt down to Hale and I'.artholdt and Carnegie have long realized that world federation is the key to peace and disarmament. Even Mr. Roosevelt in his remarkable Nobel peace address the other day at Christiania goes so far as to urge a "league of peace," to abolish war. paradoxically, by force, it" necessary. The governments themselves, however, have not yet officially recognized that world organization is the goal of international effort, though they have unconsciously and inevitably been driven much faster and farther along this path than they realize. The passage of the Bennet bill, however, will remedy this. The creation of a world federation commission would guarantee to our own people as well as to the peoples of the world that the United States is in earnest and ready to take the lead in the only practical and promising method of obtaining international peace. It seems the destiny of the United States to lead in the peace movement. The United States is the world in miniature. It is a demonstration that all the races of the world can live in peace under one government and its chief value to civilization is a demonstration of what this form of government is. We have settled more disputes by arbitration than any other nation. In all history no men have done more to spread the gospel of peace than the two Pennsylvanians, William Perm and Benjamin Franklin. David Low Dodge of New York in 1815 founded the first peace society of the world. Two generations ago Elihit Rttrritt and a dozen others in New York and New England went up and down this country, and even over to Europe, urging �August, 1910 THE and prophesying the formation of an international court which Rurritt declared when it came into existence "would constitute the highest court of appeals this side the bar of eternal justice." Coming down to more recent times it is probably a fact that the late Frederick W. I lolls of New York had more to do with the establishment of the Hague Court than anyone else, while Mr. Carnegie has given it a palate in which it shall hereafter sit. The United States tix>k the first case to the Hague Court that ever came before it, and the American minister at Venezuela sent the second case there, which brought all the great powers before its bar and established it in the estimation of civilization. Mr. Rartholdt was the first man who ever stood up in a national parliament and suggested turning the Hague Conferences into a real international parliament. Flihu Root planned the idea of having the Second Hague Conference create a world court modelled on the United States Supreme Court, and now Secretary Knox has announced its early establishment. President Roosevelt's Christiania address is nothing else than a 17 FRIEND plea for the federation of the world. Not since the "Great Design" of Henry IV. of France proposed in 1(>02, has one who has represented a great people ever promulgated so comprehensive a plan for universal peace. Mr. Taft says that if the Rennet bill becomes a law he will appoint Theodore Roosevelt as chairman of the commission. Does not the last sen tence of Mr. Roosevelt's address indicate that he would feel compelled to accept the honor? He says: "Rut the ruler or statesman who should bring about such a combination (league of peace) would have earned his place in history for all time and his title to the gratitude of all mankind." 11" the world federation commission is appointed by the United States government with Theodore R<x>sevelt as chairman, can anyone believe that the day will RESPOISS/BLE For those Ja|»nese Servants?
