RELIC OF ROYAL POMP IN THE SOUTH SEAS Hawailan Man-of-War Still Anchored in the Bay at Honolulu. THE NALMILOA, HAWAIIAN MAN-O-FOR-WAR FIRING A SALUTE IN HONOLULU HARBOUR TOWS BLOODSAILING ON HER RAMON MISSION, HI. VOL. 24. NO. 36. RELIC OF ROYAL P IN Hawaiian 'Man-of-War S at Hon As the Atlantic fleet entered the harbor of Honolulu the great battleships steamed past an old anchored in the shallow waters of the harbor's edge on their left. This wooden hulk is all that is left of the navy of the Kingdom of Hawaii, which was organized and sent out to assert the supremacy of the king of Hawaii over the South seas, through which the feet under Rear Admiral Sperry now sweeps without a rivar; to establish for his majesty, Kink KalaKAua, the "primacy of the Pacific," just as to-day the commander of the great white fleet is showing to the world that the power of the United States on the Pacific is absolute. Twenty-one years ago the vessel, of which the hulk alone is left, passed out of the Honolulu harbor to carry the lord high commissioner of Hawaii to Samoa to treat with King Melieloa to induce that monarch to recognize the suzerainty of King Kalakaua over the kingdom of Samoa and to bind him in an alliance, offensive and defensive, through which all the isles of the South seas should be banded into a kingdom, and the advances of the white nations in the Pacific. The Hawaiian monarch had just returned from a tour of the world, in which his recognition by the sovereigns of Japan, China, the native THE NALMILOA, HAWAIIAN M. IN HONOLULU HARBOR JUST SAMOAN states of India and Egypt had fostered his inordinate vanity and "the divine right of kings" idea had been seeded in his simple soul and had sprouted and grown exceedingly. Ambition grew as he stepped for his kingdom on his return, and the primacy of the Pacific doctrine developed, bringing about one of the most inducible series of incidents in the opera bouffe government of Hawaiian royalty. Early in the setting of 1877 the Kaimai High Commissioner John L. Bush presented a report that the mission had been highly successful. Then the truth leaked out by degrees. Of her officers many had died through the debaucheries of the voyage; the lord high commissioner had only landed on Saimoa soil by stealth, the Kaimai having been chased about by a German gumboat, coming in for an anchorage only after dark and chasing off for a hiding place behind some of the islands before daybreak. Typhoid and delirium tremens in the forecastle and delirium tremens in the cabins had reduced the crew by half, while in the archives of the Territory of Hawaii there are yet an ill the commissioner against both, and all three against the cook, in which in most explicit language charges of drunkenness and wanton ostentatious are held. The net results of the attempt to assert the primacy of the Pacific doctrine was a hole in the Hawaiian treasury of $100,000 and the Grand Cross of the Order of Oceanica, which had been pinned on the commissioner's gaudy uniform by the royal hand of Maleleo when the two squatted under a pandanus tree and bid from the German marines one Ramon night, discussing affairs of state. The Kailimoa was a 170 ton steamer, launched as the British steamship Explorer and purchased and rechristened. She cost $20,000 and her fittings of Hawaiian mahogany, her crested crockery, her elaborate, bunting and flags of silk and her armament, six 6-pounders and two gattings, added $30,000 to her cost. She was manned by an admiral and staff, captain and staff, hula girls, marines and sailors, the vafom school and musicians. The admiral was a white man named Jackson and the other officers were men in whose veins flowed more or less white blood. At that time Walter Murray Gibson was premier in the Hawaiian govern- ment, and to his fertile scheming was the Samao venture due. Prior to this time, 1883, he had sent Capt. Trippe and F. L. Clarke as royal commissioners to the Gilbert islands and New Hebrides, and a parody on the Monroe doctrine had been put forth in grandlquent protest, addressed to all the great powers, warning them against and further annexation in the Pacific ocean and warning them that Hawaii claimed the exclusive right "to assist them in improving their political and social conditions." At the time of the attempted extension of this burlesque doctrine to the Samao group three great powers were interested there, and a conference was about to open at Washington between Great Britain, Germany and the United States to determine the status of the islands, in view of which the mission of the Hawaiians to King Malletoa was seized upon by the Germans as something backed by the American government in an agreement with the monarch in annexation of Hawaii and of Samoa. Added to the embarrassment in which this placed Washington was the fact that the Hawaiian commissioner returned with a commission for Mr. Carter, the Hawaiian minister at Washington, creating him as well the "envoy extraordinary and minister MAN OF WAR FIRING A SALUTE BEFORE SAILING ON HER MISSION·1887 plenipotentary" of the Samoa kingdom in Washington, while Carter was negotiating for the cession to the United States of Pearl harbor. On Jan. 23, 1887, news of the Hawaiian expedition, magnified out of all proportion, having reached the British government, a warning note was issued suggesting at the time that this was another instance where Downing street received its inspiration from the Wilhelmstrasse. At that time the British commissioner at Honolulu requested the Hawaiian government not to interfere in the affairs of Samoa. But the loading of gin on the Kaimilao went merlyly on despite the growlings of the British lion, the notice attracted from abroad pleasing the Hawaiian head. Premier Gibson went ahead, the merry monarch Kalakaua played poker with his lord high commissioner and his admiral, and the hula dancers packed their wardrobes for the junket, while on the other side of the world Bismark discussed with his colleagues the importance of the Hawaiians, Lord Salisbury worried the Kaimilao mission should bring about the German annexation of Samoa, and Ambassador Bayard had to accept the news of the invasion that they had no intention of gobbling Samoa or of suspecting America of any such motive. The affair almost developed in international politics into war between Germany and little Hawaii, thus producing into the sore spot of the body politic of the powers and acting the part of a mosquito in line to be skipped and crushed. In instructions Washington for transmission to the american government Bismarck wrote: "In case Hawaii, whose king acts according to financial principles which it is not desirable to extend to Samoa, should try to interfere in favor of Malietoa, the king of the Sandwich islands would thereby enter into a state of war with us." In Trouble Little.Newman's mother had faithfully tried to answer his questions in regard to death and the future life and he had been told that when he died just his soul would go to heaven. One day he came running in from his play and in excitement grilled, "Mamma, mamma, if just my soul goes to heaven, what am I going to button my pants on to?" THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS.

HAGGERE OF HARWARD Who is studying simians at close range to find whether they really think or are only imitators, and who spends five hours a day with the monkeys in the Bronx zoo. "Haggerty, the monkey man," the keepers somewhat irreverently call him at Bronx Park, New York, and the deep research work he is doing in the little known field of comparative psychology they still more flippantly characterize as "high brow monkey business." Both terms are misnommers as applied to Melvin E. Haggerty, the young Hoosier scientist of Harvard university, and the investigations he has been making for the last three weeks at the local zoo into the capacity and activities of the simian mind. There has been a good deal of misconception about Mr. Haggerty and the experiments he is conducting with monkeys in New York city. It should be stated at the outset that the Harvard man has no special interest in monkeys in themselves and has no intention of becoming a second Garner or of making the study of simian habitation possible. His present efforts, along lines which has given him a quick lift to unexpected fame throughout the country, are merely incidental to his winning a degree of doctor of philosophy at Cambridge, and his deductions from the data he is now diligently and laboriously collecting in the Bronx Park Primate House will be given to the scientific world through the medium of books which as a candidate for the doctor's degree. Entering Harvard as a post-graduate student a year ago, Mr. Haggerty, who was graduated from Indiana university in 1902, and has since taught Who is studying simians at close think or are only imitators, and who s eys in the Bronx zoo. in the Anderson (Ind.) high school, decided to specialize in the subject of comparative psychology, and, acting upon the advice of Dr. Robert M. Yerkes, his professor, he chose to make a special study of the workings of the monkey mind. For some time the young investigator has worked on the monkeys of monkeys of his own in his private laboratory in Cambridge, observing and carefully recording their antics and their evidences or lack of evidences of ability to "use their heads," as the case might be. Feeling that he could work to better advantage and with less liability to error in his deductions if he had a larger number of monkeys to deal with, Mr. Haggerty went to New York and, with every encouragement from the zoo officials, converted the monkey into a laboratory, a temporary monkey laboratory. Where he spends five hours every morning, sitting silently at a little table, notebook before him, alertly watching every move made by nine Cebus, or small South American monkeys, making copious notes of their every action. The problem which Mr. Haggerty is trying to solve is whether monkeys are imitators, or whether they find out things by themselves. The conclusions of the various investigators who have already delved into the question of variance in the matter, and the Harvard roomful of simeans, it is not unlikely, may shed important light on the knotty psychological puzzle. Occupying the center of the stage in Mr. Haggerty's rather restricted laboratory is a large box, or cage, about seven feet high and three feet wide, made of pine boards, except for the front and one side, across which is stretched wire mesh. This the student of the simian intellect describes as his "trick" or "problem box." It was devised by him at Harvard and used in his earlier experiments there. All of his work of investigation centers about this box. Various little sliding doors, windows, pulleys, strings and other ingenious devices are incorporated in the construction of this "problem box" for the purpose or testing the ability of the machines to solve the ability of manipulate them. In all Mr. Haggerty has deviled eight or ten different problems or tricks for the monkeys with these contrivances, and is gradually, and with great patience, trying out all of them, working with the monkeys, except one, are based on the desire for one case. "Monkeys are almost always hungry," said Mr. Haggerty, "and therefore the machine is best for obtaining the most reliable data. The desire to obtain freedom is less constant. $2.40 PER YEAR. MONKEY MIND Doctor's Degree Locates conx Zoo. "In my work at Harvard, I found out a little of the monkey's general ways of doing things. As a result I devised problems to set before the various animals. According to the way they went at these problems or solved them, I decided I might be able to tell whether monkeys are primarily imitators or try out things for themselves. I haven't got along far enough yet, of course, to form any opinion on the matter." Perhaps the simplest of Mr. Haggerty's hailful of monkey tricks is one which requires the monkey to push aside a small wooden door in order to get sunflower seeds or a bit of banana placed just outside a hole concealed by the door. A second trick, slightly more puzzling to the simian gray matter, requires the monkey to break a thin sheet of paper before he can reach the coveted fruit. Problems still more puzzling to the monkey intellect are those which make it necessary for the simian under observation to shove up a small door by pushing against its flat side; to cage the cage in order to open a door on the opposite side and to pull the right one of a dozen or so strings, all hanging from the ton of the trick box. "My general plan in trying out the monkeys with each of the different problems," explained Mr. Haggerty, "is to put each one in the box alone for fifteen minutes every day for five successive days. At the end of that time he will either have learned the L. HAGGERTE AWARD. range to find whether they really ends five hours a day with the monk- trick or have become indifferent to it. If he has failed to learn it, the next step is to see if he will imitate some other monkey who knows the trick. "When I have put into the box a monkey who knows the trick and one who hasn't learned it, I first make sure that the latter sees the trained animal solve the problem at least five times. Then I remove the trained monkey and give the other fellow ten minutes' time to get the food. If he hasn't succeeded by the end of ten minutes that trial is recorded as a failure." Mr. Hagerty says he sets down no monkey as hopeless until he has seen the cock performed a hundred times and still is able to do it. There is a wide difference in the quality of the brains of the different simian individuals with whom he is in daily contact in his work, the Hooser psychologist has found, and this he says adds greatly to his difficulties in drawing exact conclusions from so limited a number of animals as even the zoo affords. Some of the monkeys, he says, pick up the tricks very quickly, while others are dull and succeed only after many trials. "Jim," the sole specimen of the hoosed sappajon monkey now left at Bronx Park, who is worthy of note because he looks as if he brushed his hair pompadour, is one of the very bright ones. "When I was in the laboratory for a minute recently to look at an injured monkey," said Dr. W. Reed Blair, the zoo veterinarian, Jim was in the trick box with one of the other monkeys, who was getting the bannanas as fast as fast, and could record his movements. Jim was an asthetic and eager about it that he drove the other chap into a corner and did his best to prevent his seeing how the trick was done." Mr. Hagerty declares to discuss the incident. Besides, he doesn't recognize Jim as Jim, but as No. 5, for like the inmates of Sing Sing, all the experimental monkeys have been numbered as investigator. Mr. Hagerty will continue his studies of the Bronx Park monkeys until late in September. Flattery.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1908. WESTERN CIVILIZATION The New York Tribune is worked up over the prevalence of lawlessness in Japan. It draws the following picture of the situation: Cases of assault and battery are becoming alarmingly common. Crimes resulting from indulgence in debauchery, formerly almost unknown, are now numerous. Highway robberies, even in the outskirts of large cities, are of not infrequent occurrence. Blackmail is practised. There are reports of open attacks upon dwelling houses by mobs, while strikes and labor riots attain menacing proportions and are marked with criminal and sometimes deadly violence. Along the coasts and on the Inland Sea piracy is practised, cargo vessels have been looted, and women have been abducted from passenger ships. Strange to say, the Tribune is not delighted with this evidence of the rapid progress of "Western civilization" in Japan. That country has taken the United States, as a man takes a wife, for better or worse, as a model. The worse and the better are bound to go together, and, there J. H. HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT Next President of the United States "Every good citizen in the count the disgraceful mob that has brought an outbreak of lawlessness and bitter his country sad."—William H. Taft. "Every good citizen in the country must deplore the fliendish work of the disgraceful mob that has brought the city of Springfield to sorrow. Such an outbreak of lawlessness and bitter race prejudice makes the lover of his country sad."—William H. Taft. is reason to suppose that in due time at Frederick. In the second place Japan will develop a Thaw case her grandson was one of Stonewa' KENTUCKY CIVILIZATION Seeking in vain for some way to check the outrages, Gov. Willson let it be known that any one convicted of shooting or killing a night rider in defense of his property or his family would promptly be pardoned. This meant that where the county or State officials proved too weak or cowardly to enforce the law, the governor thought that individuals had the right to take the law into their own hands and defend themselves. It does not speak very well for the amount of civilization existing in Kentucky, when the Governor is thus compelled to encourage and sanction lawlessness. But it goes to show that any one form of lawlessness which is not merely tolerated but excused is a direct incentive to every other. While the outrages upon Afro-Americans were being perpetrated during the Springfield mob, the property of white men was recklessly destroyed and the goods in their stores stolen to the amount of thousands of dollars. The lesson is simply that it does not pay to tolerate any species of lawlessness. A TEXAS BRAINSTORM Texas has been exasperated into a brainstorm over the discovery that Whittier's Barbara Frietchie appears in some of her school text books. The offensive production is to be at once eliminated in order that the tender minds of Texas youth may not be contaminated with such rot. Whereupon the Washington Post is moved to comment thus: In the first place, Barbara Frietchie did not wave a flag THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES "As a Nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the Afro-American be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our culture; their prosperity is our prosperity; their debasement would be our misfortune. "The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment."—James S. Sherman. y must deplore the fiendish work of the city of Springfield to sorrow. Such race prejudice makes the lover of at Frederick. In the second place, her grandson was one of Stonewall Jackson's "ragged rebels" that day. In the third place, she was in sympathy with the South, and if she had waved a flag at all that day it would have been the stars and bars and not the Stars and Stripes. THE APPEAL hopes that the Texas legislature and the Post together will next investigate the truth of the statement that "Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating a Christmas pie;" for if it cannot be shown that the incident actually occurred as stated it is manifestly improper that the minds of our youth should be fed with such slush. THE FRIEND OF LABOR. Any workingman who is inclined to give credit to Mr. Gompers' attack upon the Republican party, would do well to consider the attitude of the Democratic party as a friend of labor as summed up by the New York Mail: "All the labor legislation on the statute books of the nation is Republican legislation. Practically all the labor legislation on the statute books of the States (three or four Commonwealth excepted) is Republican legislation. "The States that have resisted legislation prohibiting or restricting child labor are Democratic States. "The States where child labor is most widely employed are Democratic States. "Peonage—the legal slavery of laborers in debt—is confined to Democratic States. "The farming out of convict labor to contractors is confined to Democratic States. M. H. HON. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK. Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Who Will Lead the Republican Party to Victory in November. J. HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN. Illinois' Fearless Executive Who Put Down the Springfield Riot. A DEBATABLE PROPOSITION. A prominent citizen of Springfield, Ill., recently said: "Everybody knows that the mob has made our families safe." We suppose that there are many persons who are tolerant of mob-law because they feel the same way. We, however, think that the idea is an egregious error and do not believe that all the lynching that has been done in this country has had any such effect. We regard the citizen's remark as a doubtful, debatable proposition. On the other hand, it is a sure thing that the immense expense of the troops, the grand juries and courts must be borne by the tax-payers; as under the law of Illinois, the state, city and county are liable for the property destroyed and there is no possible way of evading the payment of the penalty. A community is certainly in a bad way when it looks for protection from thieves, drunkards and harlots to the thieves, drunkards and harlots themselves. Bishop Derrick of Brooklyn and Bishop Caldwell of Philadelphia called at Republican national headquarters in New York this week and speaking for the Afro-Americans said: "Our people have always been Republican since that party was first or- HON.

These twenty-five bishops represent active Methodists throughout the country." And these reverend gentlemen know whereof they speak. According to Ex. Gov. Terrell, the political situation is a little peculiar. The law is that in order to secure the electoral vote a candidate must carry a majority of the votes cast failing in which, the election is thrown into the legislature. Mr. Terrell says: "Tom Watson, the populist candidate, will poll probably 30,000 votes. The Independence Party, because of the personal following of John Temple Graves, will get a vote of 5,000 more perhaps, while the Republican party will poll its usual vote. Since all distinctions are odious it is with profound satisfaction we note that Judge A. H.

Twenty thousand people assembled at Freeport, Illinois, on the exact spot on which the famous Lincoln-Douglas Freeport debate took place fifty years ago, at exactly the same time, and in almost the same manner, the semi-centennial was observed. So engrossed was the audience in the old issues that it was a bold speaker who had the temerity to introduce topics of the day into the addresses delivered before it. This feat was accomplished successfully, however, by Congressman Frank O. Lowden, who praised Gov. Deneen's use of the "iron hand" in quelling the race riots in Springfield. The mention of Gov. Deneen's name in this connection was sufficient to call forth such enthusiastic applause as to leave no doubt as to the attitude of those who heard the remarks. "In every civilized government there must be something which is absolutely supreme," said Mr. Lowden. "In a despotism it is the will of the monarch. In a republic it is and must be the law and the law alone. It is the worst form of treason in a republic to threaten the supremacy of the law. Whenever any set of persons put themselves above the law, of whatever class, whether rich or poor, they are in open rebellion against the only earthly master we may know, the sovereign law which we have crowned supreme. "I realize that the race problem is a grave one. I appreciate the fact that primitive passions when once aroused make us forget the nineteen centuries of Christian civilization of which we are heirs. I don't know what the problem will be. But I do know that if we are to remain a republic there is a need to remember the history of our country teaches us aught, its lesson is that only by objection to law, by confessing its absolute supremacy, can any wrong be met. HON. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS We have not often been called upon to commend any actions of big Hoax Smith, governor of Georgia, but must do so, if it be true, that he will call the legislature together to put a stop to the convict system. An investigation has shown that the convict system of Georgia has resulted in cruelties which almost defy description—that convicts, male and female, black and white, have been tortured and murdered in numerous instances. The same is true of every state in which the convicts are sold to contractors. We earnestly hope that the Georgia legislature will put a stop to the atrocious system.

WILLIAMS COMPANY, 1208 W. Taylor Street, Chicago, Ill. W. H. H. ROBERT SENG ROBERT H. SENG. Candidate for Republican Nomination for County Commissoner. NICHOLAS POTTGIESER. Candidate for Republican Nomination for County Commissioner. C. A. ANDERSON. Candidate for Republican Nomination for County Commissioner. Candidate For Republican Nomination For Court Commissioner of Hennepin County. Mr. A. X. Schall, ir. candidate for Court Commissioner of Hennepin County, is one of the promising young attorneys of Minneapolis and is in every way fitted for the duties of the office to which he aspires. He has been a resident of Minneapolis for the past twelve years and served a full term of enlistment in the Phillipine Islands with the 13th Minn. M. Vols. Upon his return he entered the Law School of the University of Minnesota and graduated with the class of 1902. Mr. Schall for some time past has been a deputy in the County Auditor's office where he has made many friends by his close attention to the duties of the office and his courteous and accommodating attention to all classes. In the event of his election, which now seems to be an assured fact, the position of Court Commissioner will be capably filled and satisfactory services rendered the public. Mr. Wm. E. Nagel, the undertaker, located at 208 W. Third street, "Seven Corners," who was injured in a runaway accident several weeks ago, is out again and able to attend to his business. the undertaker, Third street, was injured in several weeks able to attend County commissioner. Mr. Portgieser has served two years on the commission, and was defeated for nomination in the year ago by only 38 votes in a field of twenty-nine candidates. His defeat was attributed largely to antagonism which he had aroused because of his close scrutiny of claims against the county presented to the board. Mr. Portgieser having made a record for close to the line where the interest of the taxpayers were concerned. He was a member of the board when the reform in road expenditures was inaugurated, and while he did not share the views of some who wished large initial appropriations for road work, he was one of the strong advocates of a policy which would return to the taxpayers dollar for dollar in work and material on all their money expended by the bayard. He was also the time to the duties of his office, and was "on the pod" day in and day out. The county tax budget for 1900 aggregates $603,300, and it will be well for the taxpayers to select members of the board who will make it their business to see that the money is wisely expended. He will be voted for throughout the city. Everybody vote for him. SAFE DEPOSIT AND STORAGE VAULTS.—We invite your inspection.

Week. z 4 George Ade seems to be able to write better plays every time he tries, He followed that, splendid stecess, “The County Chairman,” with another great comedy, “The College Widow.” and he gives us “Just Out of College,” which is said to be as bright and breezy comedy as has been. seen in this City in many a day. vJust Out of College,” which comes to the Grand for the week com: mencing matince tomorrow, at 2:30, relates principally to the troubles of a financier with a nervy young ¢ollece youth. ‘The college boy. wants to marry the daughter ‘of the magnate, and, when asekd regarding his assets, can only account for a few snits of clothes, a banjo and a ten- nis racket. The head of the trust is not what you might call hypnotized by the boy, but his wife wants to marry their daughter to an. elderly “beat,” who is engaged. spreading the teachings of “Mahala” and spong- ing on the community for his keep. So. he gives our college friend $20,000, and tells him to go out and makeaname for himself in the busi- hess world, ‘The young man meets a woman who has a reeipe for. put tiug up. pickles, and. they go. into business and finally have the pickle trust on the run, Of course, the Mew company prospers and force the trust to buy them out, and then the old “Pickle King” finds out who his competitor really, was.’ The college youth wins his lady love and every- things ends satisfactorily to all. The play contains many original musi- cal numbers written expressly for it by Frank I. Calluhan, with Iyries by Stanley Murphy. Willidm A.
