National Go ard Camp Approximately 600 officers and men of the 29th Infantry, Hawaii National Guard, moved into Camp But it was not toil alone she had to bear. She had to suffer terror for the life cf her husband which was threatened br infuriated tailors who accused him of interfering with their sensual pleasures. She and the ether missionary women were not frightened by HawaUans. but by white men. It was in 18CS wien the mob attacked the mission house.

In a letter she told how she suffered. "With rov defenseless family I heard the blasphemous language and saw the furious arm thrust at my dearest one. I saw the brandished weapon and marked the raging of the angry mob. I heard the scream of my child for the safety of her father, but my spirit was sustained through It all." It was Hawaiians who defended Bingham and a native who warded off the blow from a knife. A year later she and her husband were at Lahaina when shots were fired from an English whaler, with an American captain, at Mr.

Richards' house because the debauchery of sailors had been interfered with. Mrs. Richards. Mrs. Bingham and their five children took refuge in the cellar, terrified by the balls from the cannon and the how imps of a mob.

This life of toil and danger she endured for 20 years there was no system of furloughs for missionaries then. In 1840. the Binghams were granted 18 months leave of absence. They expected to return to Hawaii but their intention was not realized. Mrs.

Much is written in Hawaiian history about the American missionaries but little is aid about their wives. It is true there are two delightful and informative books WTitten by the wives cf missionaries, one by Lucy O.

Thurston, who arrived here in 1820. and the other bv Laura Fish add. who came in 1828. The reader will find in neither any complaining at their hard lot for hard it was but he will find that both were upheld by a strong and fervent faith that thev were doing the Lord's work- Today, I write about Sjbil Moseley Bingham, wife of the Rev. Hiram Bingham who was the grandfather of Hiram Bingham III.

the senator for Connecticut. She was born at Westfield, September 14, 1792. of old New England stock. At the age cf 19 she was left an orphan and in order to help in the education of her two younger sifters she taught school. At first her school was at Hartford and later at Canandaigua in western New York, which village was then in the west After three years at Canandaigua she determined to visit her friends and relatives and the people whom she was leaving tried to make her promise to return.

Her answer was. "1 wilL unless the Lord opens another door." She little imagined what that door would be. She was visiting the Rev. and Mrs. S.

Bartlett at Windsor, when the ordination of two missionaries was announced at Goshen, a village near by, and she was invited to go with them to attend it. She was interested in missions and had even desired to be a missionary. When they reached Goshen.

Sir: "Where East Meets West, by George Sakamaki is verv interesting reading.

He spoils his articles every time he mentions Christianity as having anything in common with Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, etc. Christianity will not mix with any religion. Christianity is sufficient in itself, and any alloy would make it unchristian. 1 Cor 10:20.21. It is all very well to flatter one another by saying he Is a good Buddhist, Protestant, Catholic or Christian.

But we should never forget that the one who said "there is none good." when he knew that all men were liars. So those who believe that statement will never be deceived by any liar. President Wilson in his day said that some one was "rocking the boat." He was so "good" that be did not know that he was one of the "rockers." And now the poor sick world (the boat) Is so full of "good rockers" boasting of their goodness that the boat will have peace when it turns keel up and sends all those "good people" to heaven. Now, George, you need not believe a word of all this but it is the truth, and your articles are interesting. Yours truly, J.

S. WATSON. Infinitely more significant than the rumpus raised in the Philippines this summer on independence by Senator Harry II. Hawes of Missouri is a resolution now being circulated, by the chamler of commerce of Northern Monterey countv. California.

For HO years we have leen hearing about in-de'tendence for the Philippine and the islands continue under the American Flag, fortunately for them. And we never heard of the chamber of commerce of Northern Monterey county, California, lefore. But we know that when the citizens of this country, speaking through civic bodies like chambers of commerce, begin to campaign vigorously on an issue the members of Congress begin to prick up their ears. The resolution adopted in Northern Monterey county says that f'the states on the Pacific ocean including the territories of Hawaii and Alaska, are being invaded each year by an increasing number of Filipinos (amounting to thousands er annum) who by law are not er-mitted to become citizens of. this country and who generally are undesirable settlers (such infusion being an unrealized danger to the white race) and whose presence in the United States gives rise to frequent race riots, during which acts of violence are committed which are a breach of the peace and offend the dignity of the United States and in which these otherwise peaceful and law-abiding Orientals are terrorized, abused and sometimes killed." In conclusion, the resolution asks for "complete and absolute independence of the Philippines' In red ink is printed -'Urge your congressman and senators to Rtop the invasion of the United States by Filipinos.

Grant them immediate and complete This is the type of agitation that scores heavily in Congress. THE MILITARY CAMPS Bartlett asked a young man on the street if he knew where he was to be entertained. He told them at Mr. Thompson's and said he would how them where the house was. Meets Hiram Bingham The young man was Hiram Bingham, who, with Asa Thurston, was to be ordained on the morrow.

He was introduced to Miss Moseley and he recalled a conversation with a fellow student at Andover who had said if he got an appointment as missionary he would ask a Miss Moseley to go with him as his wife. But he thought this could not be the same Miss Moseley for he understood she was teaching in far off western New York. He found In the course of the day that the young lady was the one of whom his friend had spoken and In the short time at his disposal, he sought her acquaintance. Before he left Windsor he had asked her to go with him to the Sandwich islands as his wife. Their common desire to work in some mission field drew them together in affectionate sympathy and she told him she would be his co-worker among people whom they supposed were savages.

The ordination took place on September 29. and, as there was no time to lose they were married on October 11. On October 23 they sailed from Boston on the Thaddeus in company with six other missionaries and their wives. Sybil Moseley Bingham wrote to her sister: "Since that memorable evening when I was introduced to him. I find that he has secured my love.

Gcd did indeed choose for me." Like many other men and women among the missionaries to Hawaii, common intellectual and spiritual interests drew them together after a brief acquaintance and held them together during long years of toil under trying conditions with many sorrows as well as joys, defeats as well as victories. It was a strange honeymoon for the young missionaries and their brides on that voyage of 164 days to the Sandwich islands, but they were fortunate in having for a captain and first officer such good men as Blanchard and Hunnewell. It Was not until April 19, 1820, that the Binghams landed at Honolulu with Messrs. Loomis, Rugeles, Chamberlain and Whitney. The Thurstons and Dr.

and Mrs. Holman were left at Kailua, Hawaii. Three Grass Houses Through the kindness of some of the traders living in Honolulu three grass houses were offered to the five families. It is believed that these houses stood near the site of the McCandless building, at the corner of King and Bethel Sts. The Binghams occupied one of these, which consisted of a single room, one corner being partitioned off by mats, providing a little me oi apvum, out mere was a mistrial on the count of possession, there being no verdict.

The Right Word By CURTIS NICHOLSON long the line of the merchant, the banker, the transportation lines and so on through the vicious circle.

It is not price fixing in the sense of taking undue advantage of the consumer. It is in reality an intelligent conservation of resources as an aid to more, general prosperity. On the mainland the great difficulty in crop control has been the inability to secure cooperation among the farmers. Some are tricky, and want to take advantage of their neighbors. Others are suspicious.

So they go on weaving the roe that may sooner or later hang them financially and industrially. The sugar industry of Hawaii furnishes one of the world's finest examples of in production and marketing. occasion has arisen for curtailing the crop. There is no doubt but this could b- done if the United States were producing more sugar than its people consume. The pineapple industry of Hawaii has given a fine exhibition of cooperation in marketing and merchandising promotion.

It has led the way in proving the iower of advertising and aggressive salesmanship. Uight now, however, Hawaiian pineapple finds itself in a position where it controls the world's supply. Owing to extraordinary conditions in the world at large there bids fair to be a surplus. How foolish it will be to go blindly forward rolling up a surplus to be sold at figures that will not only break the prices, but will also break the independent planter, without in the slightest degree lenefiting the consumer. We may reasonably exeet the pineapple growers and canners of Hawaii to show their business judgment.

Theirs is the opportunity to lead the way in doing what so many mainland farmers say can't be done. LESS HOWLING, MORE WORK Activities at the summer military training camps in various parts of the country serve to emphasize the clever way in which army leaders have been able to combine business with pleasure, so to speak, in the matter of preparedness. Being in the army is not always looked upon as fun. Infantry drill under a hot summer sun is no cinch; and the other concomitants of a buck private's life range all the way from arduous early morning setting-up exercises to the hated IV detail. But thousands of young Americans are spending their vacations at military camps this summer, and they are having a perfectly swell time.

Somehow the war department has been able to fix things so that a fortnight of military training takes on all the aspects of a good time. It was a highly ingenious move. The nation gets something in the way of preparedness, thousands of young men get some wholesome training and recreation, and everybody is happy. their efforts to the destruction of ARE YOU READY?

The News Calendar privacy. The missionaries had not brought much furniture, so boxes in which goods had been packed served as tables and chairs. There were no furniture stores and no lumber yards in Honolulu then, but Mr. Bingham, like most Yankees at that time, was handy with tools and with a piece of driftwood from the northwest, a stick of sandalwood given him and some koa, he managed to make a rocking chair in which, later on, Mrs.

Bingham rocked her babies. On Sundays it was taken to the old grass church as a seat for the pastor's wife. When in 1840 the Binghams left Honolulu for the United States, the chair was taken with them, and when they reached Boston she refused to part with it for a fine piece of upholstered furniture. Her wish was that when the last' summons came she might be found in that chair, and her wish was granted when she died in 1848. They had brought a cook stove and this was set up in the ard and the natives watched through the palings to see how haoles cooked.

To wash the clothes which had accumulated during the voyage, water had to be brought from the Nuuanu river and washing and ironing in the open air gave Mrs. Bingham a severe sunburn. In addition to their household duties, the chiefs brought broadcloth and linen to be made Into suits and shirts. They had not been landed a month when Mrs. Bingham gathered around her a dozen girls and began to teach them how to read.

This teaching was of course in English, for there were no Hawaiian books, and she knew no Hawaiian. The pupils were the children of- Americans and Englishmen who had native wives. In a month she had 40 students, some of whom were adults. First White Baby On November 9, a daughter was born to the Binghams, the first white child born in the islands. In such cases, as they occurred, the wives of other missionaries acted as doctors and nurses for their sisters.

Next day a ship arrived bringing letters from home, the first word they had received from friends for more than a year. With all her varied work and what we should call deprivation she wrote home: "Who would not leave sisters, friends and kindred to tell these pagan mothers of the Savior's love." Permission had been granted the missionaries to remain in Hawaii for a year, but when it was found that they came to do good they were allowed to stay. The frame house which had been brought from Boston was erected on what was then a barren plain a half-mile from the village. CThis is the house now standing on King St. In that house, at first, lived four families, three having an infant each, and one, the Chamberlains, having six children.

This Daniel Chamberlain was a farmer and must not be confused with Levi Chamberlain who arrived in 1822. It was he who built the coral house on the mission lot and whose descendants live here today. Daniel Chamberlain only stayed two j-ears. Besides the four families sometimes guests were entertained. At one time, for four months, Messrs.

Tyerman and Bennett and the Rsv. William Ellis were somehow accommodated. The dining room was in the cellar and furnishing the long table with food three times a day devolved upon the women cf the party by turns. Sometimes they had beef or pork, potatoes, butter and flour, but at other times they had none of these things and had to subsist on fish and poi or taro. As soon as possible other houses were built and then the long table was sawed In two and one-half was sent to Hilo for the mission there.

Served As Midwife Four times in the first four years Mrs. Bingham went with her husband to Kauai to be with a sister missionary in her time of need, as there was no physician or nurse. Once she went with a babe of her own three months old, who was sick at the time and the day after landing a son was born to Mrs. Whitney. Three weeks later she officiated at the birth of a daughter to Mrs.

Ruggles. When she reached Honolulu her services were required at Kaneohe over the Pali over which there was then only a trail so narrow at one place that her feet had to be placed by a guide while her face was turned to the perpendicular reck above her. A native carrying her babe followed her and she feared more for her child than for herself. Sometimes on her Journeys she was carried by natives in her chair which was lashed to poles, and occasionally she rode with her husband on a horse. The recent announcement from Washington that treasury officials and various members of congress are contemplating the possibility of imposing a federal tax upon gasoline has aroused a storm of protest from the organized motor interests of the country.

In some quarters it has been computed that a tax of 1 cent per gallon would cost the car owners of the United States an additional These figures are based on the fact that ir.7ol.4n0,0) gallons of gasoline were consumed during 10H0. The American Automobile association, at its 2-nd annual convention held recently at West Baden, Indiana, passed a resolution which said in part: "Whereas the motor vehicle is today the most heavily taxed property in this country, the American Automobile association is unalterably opposed to a federal tax on highway transport, whether through an excise tax on motor vehicles, accessories or parts, or through a sales tax on fuel, or through a license fee for motor Tehicles or drivers."
