Not that bIio lias ever been very brilliantly lighted, but the dim electric lights have served better than coal-oi- l lamps and candles, which is the best the community has had since Tuesday night. The Island Electric Company's plant quit completely at midmlght on Tues- day night and Is now dismantled in order that two bent connecting rods might bo removed and other absolute- ly necessary repairs made. The work is being done at the Maui Agricultural Co.'s machine shop and will possibly be completed tomorrow or Sunday. But Manager Blair admits that these repairs arc simply an expedient to getting the plant to running again, and that the service can be no better with the present equipment. The diesel engine, which Is the only source of power the company now has, lias mn almost constantly since the sum- mer of 191G. It Is now in such need of complete overhauling, including of cylinders, renewing bearings etc., that It cannot possibly render Its full power. Anil besides this it is compelled to carry a serious overload which Blair says Is the cause of the bent connecting rods. 'He will give no assurance that these rods will not be bent again in a very short time, since It Is Impossible to remove the cause of the trouble. According to those In a position to know something about the conditions under which the company's plant has been operating for months past, It Is a marvel that it has kept going with- out a real shut-dow- n long before this. In fact Mr. Blair admits that the dang- er to the men operating the machin--- y has been very real for some time Past, and that he did not dare to risk a serious accident any longer and so ordered the plant stopped.

But the mill plant Is small, a ml is utterly in- adequate to supply tho mill needs and tho town also at night. Tho only cur- rent being furnished outside the sugar company's plant at night is to the Malulanl hospital. It would not have been possible to have issued the Maui News this week except for this favor extended by the mill company, and a number of other small industries are under similar obligations. Mr. Penhallow makes It clear that It Is a favor to tho com- munity and In no sense one to tho Island Electric Co.

In tho scurry for some substitute, the stock of candles in iVailuku was exhausted, as was also the supply of oil lamps. The Maui Hotel company for Its two hotels bought up a miscellaneous assortment of omo 80 lamps at an outlay of about ?200. Manager Ross, of the Walluku theater, managed to secure a small generator mounted on an automobile body and driven by tho automobile engine, and by means of this was able to secure current for tho pictures at the Hip theater.

Shrine Initiates Game ToThe Last Submit T Honolulu Pen Parade Streets In Mirth Provoking A- rrayBrilliant Ball And Banquet Lahaina Chowder Ends Affair. The ceremonial session of Aloha Temple, Mystic Shrinors, which took place on Maul last Saturday, was one of the largest as well as most success-lu- l affairs of the kind ever held by he Honolulu shrine. More than 30 initiates "crossed the hot sands" In most approved fashion, and according to reports, all made the trip success- fully, albeit more or less the worse for wear. Twenty-si- x of the new members are Maui men. ' d,iv The Honolulu shrine ofllclajr ..' more than 100 members of tT.u order from the city arrived by the steamer Kilauea early Saturday morning, the essel having been chartered for the oocasirn. They brought with thorn the 17tii Cavalry Band, which furnish- ed much appreciated music for the 'arlous events on the program. The Maui public had a share In some of to fun, notably in the mammoth street parade which left the Walluku armory about 1 o'clock Saturday af- ternoon and slowly wended its way 10 Kahulul where the finishing touches were put on the new Shrinors by their (!evoted instructors, in the territorial building at the fair grounds. The garbs of the shrinking candidates in which they were exposed to the jeers of the multitude, were grotesque and terrible, and the careworn abstraction of the victims later in the day in- dicated that the ceremonies as a whole had left their imprint. Bail A Success The big ball on Saturday evening at the 'fair ground, was very largely attended and was a most pleasing social event. It was given by the members of the order who proved splendid hosts. Music was furnished by the cavalry band and was greatly appreciated by the throng of dancers. The ball was one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind ever given in Maui, and made especially so by the beauti- ful gowns of most of the women pres- ent. Bankers Pull Sensation At the banquet at the Grand Hotel, earlier In the evening, an apparently controversy be- tween D. C. Lindsay and C. D. Lufkin, winding up in pistol shots across the banquet table produced a profound im- pression. During the gun-pla- tiie lights went out, a few sacks of bot- tled judiciously dropped simulated broken cre- - y and, well imagina tion ?r "11 tho story. When the ligh. k on, some people w 1 juhu under lab... others In cornr J ,nd some had man-ngei- . - make f escape entirely. The hoax was a very great success. On Sunday the visitors were enter- tained with sight-seein- g trips, and at noon-tim- e by an elaborate chowder luncheon at the Lahaina armory pre- pared under the auspices of Geqrge Freeland. The Honolulu crowd departed for home at 10 o'clock by the Kilauea, be- ing given a rousing send-of- f as the boat pulled out. Tho 26 Maul men, on. whose ac- count the big affair was so largely prepared, are Dr. G. S. Aiken, W. O. Aiken, J. C. Blair, E. A. Campbell, W. H. Engle, G. H. Farnsworth, J. P. Foster, J. H.

It is in charge of Scout Master Frank Goble, and Is get- ting down to work with enthusiasm. Another troop is likely to bo organiz- ed there shortly, A. B. Brown being interested In the new group and scheduled, as in Its scout master If it comes Into being. The Waiheo troop, which was left without a head when its scout master decamped rather suddenly not long since, is still' holding togethor and it Is probable that a new scout master will be found In the near future. - - .... Arbitration Board To Fix Land Value Two Appointed To Choose Third Member Will Determine Value Of Extensions Both Market And Wells Streets Under Consideration Tho supervisors last Friday after- noon, following quite n lengthy con- ference with W. T. Robinson, and others over the matter of acquiring he land on the west side of Market street needed for the extension of Ineyard street, agreed to submit the .uestlon of tho value of the property to a board of arbitrators to consist of three members. The county has named J. H. Kune-va- , tax assessor, to represent it, while D. C. Lindsay will represent the Robinson interests. The two arbitra- tors are to choose a third member. It was also agreed to submit the matter of the valuation of the land taken irom the Robinson property in the opening of Wells street several years ago, and which is still hanging lire In the courts, to this same board of arbitration. Should the parties to the contro- - versy fall to abide the decision of the arbitrators, It will doubtless mean that the mater will be Immediately taken to court for adjudication before a legally constituted jury as provided by statute.

Death Of Sailor Is Veiled In Mystery Dead Body Of Chilian Memhcr Of Crew Of Schooner Found On Beach At Kahului No Water In Lungs Face Disfigured. The dead body of Olofario Aguilar, a Chilian seaman olf the schooner Mel- rose, was found on the beach of Ka- hulul harbor about 7 o'clock last Mon- day morning. The face had been badly mutilated by crabs and the .features weie unrecognizable, but the body was positively ldeiililled by the clothing and by various articles In the pockets. At first presumed to lie n lease of accidental drowning, the are now looking for another member of the schooner crew who has been missing since about the time that Aguilar disappeared, which was Thursday night of last week. An autopsy on the body of the dead man disclosed that he had not been drowned, but that death had come, np- - parently from heart failure. When last seen alive, so far as Is known, Aguilar had just come aboard the schooner in the harbor about mid- night on Thursday night in company with two other members of the crew. He had been ashore and had been drinking when rowed out to the schooner by the night watchman, a Japanese employed by the Kahului Railroad Co. The two other sailors paid their two-bit- s apiece to the boat- man for their passage, and left Agui- lar searching for change. This, ac- cording to the boatman, he was un- able to find, and produced a $20 bill Instead which the Japanese could not change. It was thereupon agreed that he should pay the following day, and the boatman left him. Presumably the man soon after was stricken with heart disease and fell overboard. His cn"Mianions, who testified that they ri Immediately did not know that he itiV" - Uiein to the forecasti d done nke- - wise, until the follow,..,,, day. Even then it was several days later before his absence really caused any alarm. i The Melrose arrived at Kahului last week with a full cargo of lumber for tho Kahului Railroad Co., from I'uget Sound, which is now being discharged. The deceased, who was 33 years of age, had been sailing on the boat for a number of years past, and was well acquainted In the Islands. The $20 bill which the boatman had seen In his possession was found In one of his pockets. Sheriff Clem Crowoll departed for Honolulu on Wednesday afternoon In .hope of finding the missing sailor wnoso uisappearance lias exciteu a suspicion that the death may not have been an accident.

With a view of possibly arriving at some method of fixing the valuation of real estate for taxation purpose, Assessor J. H. Kunowa, some months i'Bo, called a public meeting at which the matter was discussed, with the result that committees of citizens In "veral districts were appointed charg- ed with the duty of further consider- ing th" matter and of making recom- mendations. These committees are now making their reports. Thus far Assessor Kunewa has been quite cordially commended for the way he has heretofore handled the matter, and the recommendations are all of minor nature. Ii speaking of the matter Mr. Ku- newa stated that he Is disappointed that the reports had not proved more specific, particularly in the matter of dividing the community into blocks recording to their value as nearly as possible. On the contrary the com- missions have not changed the pres- ent methods of the olllce In any parti- cular. The following is tho report of the Wailuku district committee consisting of .1.

Music was furnishedby the cavalry band and was greatlyappreciated by the throng of dancers.The ball was one of the most brilliantaffairs of the kind ever given in Maui,and made especially so by the beauti-ful gowns of most of the women pres-ent.Bankers Pull Sensation

At the banquet at the Grand Hotel,earlier In the evening, an apparently

controversy be-

tween D. C. Lindsay and C. D. Lufkin,winding up in pistol shots across thebanquet table produced a profound im-

pression. During the gun-pla- tiielights went out, a few sacks of bot-tled judiciously dropped simulatedbroken cre- - y and, well imagination ?r "11 tho story. Whenthe ligh. k on, somepeople w 1 juhu under lab... othersIn cornr J ,nd some had man-ngei- . -

On Sunday the visitors were enter-tained with sight-seein- g trips, and atnoon-tim- e by an elaborate chowderluncheon at the Lahaina armory pre-pared under the auspices of GeqrgeFreeland.

The Honolulu crowd departed forhome at 10 o'clock by the Kilauea, be-

ing given a rousing send-of- f as theboat pulled out.

Itwas also agreed to submit the matterof the valuation of the land takenirom the Robinson property in theopening of Wells street several yearsago, and which is still hanging lire Inthe courts, to this same board ofarbitration.

Should the parties to the contro- -

Death Of Sailor Is

Veiled In Mystery

Dead Body Of Chilian Memhcr Of

Crew Of Schooner Found On BeachAt Kahului No Water In Lungs

Face Disfigured.

The dead body of Olofario Aguilar,a Chilian seaman olf the schooner Mel-rose, was found on the beach of Ka-hulul harbor about 7 o'clock last Mon-day morning. The face had beenbadly mutilated by crabs and the

.features weie unrecognizable, but thebody was positively ldeiililled by theclothing and by various articles In thepockets. At first presumed to lie n

lease of accidental drowning, theare now looking for another

member of the schooner crew whohas been missing since about thetime that Aguilar disappeared, whichwas Thursday night of last week.

An autopsy on the body of the deadman disclosed that he had not beendrowned, but that death had come, np- -

parently from heart failure.When last seen alive, so far as Is

known, Aguilar had just come aboardthe schooner in the harbor about mid-night on Thursday night in companywith two other members of the crew.He had been ashore and had beendrinking when rowed out to theschooner by the night watchman, aJapanese employed by the KahuluiRailroad Co. The two other sailorspaid their two-bit- s apiece to the boat-man for their passage, and left Agui-lar searching for change. This, ac-cording to the boatman, he was un-

able to find, and produced a $20 billInstead which the Japanese could notchange. It was thereupon agreed thathe should pay the following day, andthe boatman left him.

Presumably the man soon after wasstricken with heart disease and felloverboard. His cn"Mianions, whotestified that they ri Immediatelydid not know that he itiV" -Uiein to the forecasti d done nke- -

wise, until the follow,..,,, day. Eventhen it was several days later beforehis absence really caused any alarm.

i The Melrose arrived at Kahului lastweek with a full cargo of lumber fortho Kahului Railroad Co., from I'ugetSound, which is now being discharged.The deceased, who was 33 years ofage, had been sailing on the boat fora number of years past, and was wellacquainted In the Islands. The $20bill which the boatman had seen Inhis possession was found In one of hispockets.

Sheriff Clem Crowoll departed forHonolulu on Wednesday afternoon In

Railroad May Get

Run From Hudson

Bay To ArgentinaN I0W YORK. April 7 - Realization

of the dream of a railroad from"Hudson Hay to Patagonia and s

Aires" has been brought neareras a result of the Fin-ancial Conference in Washington, ac-

cording to ('barks M. Pepper who, in!M was appointed by President

Roosevelt under authority ofCongressto visit the several countries from

southward and report on theproject.

A journey by rail from the ArcticCiicle to the tip of South Americaapproximately 10,000 miles could bemule under good Irallie conditions, ithas been estimated, ill 16 to 18 days.At present 24 (lavs are required forthe sea voyage from New-Yor-

to the rapilnl of Argentina.This dream of a

trunk line, running almost the entireleugth or the two American contin-ents, was born in the brain of HintonRowan Helper, a Southern writer andformer I'nited States consul in SouthAmerica, more than HO years ago. Thelate I'nited States Senator HenryGassaway Davis of West Virginia, a

1'r.ictical railroad builder, saw itsfeasibility, and, with Andrew Carne-gie and other wealthy Americans, pavethe idea a fresh impetus. James G.l'laine also once advocated it.First Definite Form

The project, however, received firstU liidte form at the International Am--i

t !i aii Conference held in MexicoCity in 1!)02 when it appointed a per-manent n Railway Com-mittee composed ol prominent cillz"iisof the United States and diplomaticetlicials of Latin-America- n countriesresident in Washington. Former Sen-ator Davis and Mr. Carnegie weremembers of it. Later, as the envoyof the President and the representa-tive of the committee, Mr. Pepperwent to Central America and SouthAmerica, and after visiting the vari-ous countries for a year, returned andmade a report which has been thebasis of subsequent "ion andlegislation.

The general idea outlined in thePepper report was that the differentSouth and Central American nationsin their railway construction shouldgive special attention to the links ina through inter-continent- trunk lineNorth and South which, ultimately,would be joined. Attention was alsogiven to the building of branch linesand "feeders," especially in SouthAmerica, on the theory that in timethere would be through lines from theAtlantic to the Tacific which wouldform intersecting systems.

Subsequent n confer-ences held at Rio Janeiro and HuenosAires approved the idea and continuedthe n Railway Commit-tee. The International High Commis-sion, now renamed as the Inter-America- n

High Commission, which wasthe outgrowth of the first n

Financial Conference held inWashington in 1915, also approvedthe project and urged its support bythe various Republics.

"In the 18 years since the plan wasendorsed by the Mexican Conference,"explained Mr. Pepper, ''considerableprogress has been made in joiningup various railway sections. Chile

hue completed the longitudinal line

from Puerto Mont in 'I"' s,,,"hjthe r.iilwavs In the north which lormjunctions with the main trunk of the

system."The Transalpine line, fn'in

!paraiso to Huenos Aires, also has beencompleted while the lines joining the

jllrazilian svslems radiating from Rio

!de Janerio'have been finished so thatjthey lot m junctions w ith rruguayaiiland Argentine lines.

"The Argentine line was finished In

the sonihern border of Holivia at La

Qniaca several years ago while Holivia

lias closed up 'most of the links in'her trunk line. Therea re now less than 12.1 miles in Holi-jvi-

to be complet.ed, some of whichis also graded, in order to provideiiiv.io.ii inilw-a- connection from Hu

enos Aires to La Paz and to the Paci-lic- .

It would cost approximately.'i, 000,000 to complete it. .

Loan to Form Link"The group committee on Holivia

at Hie recent FinancialConference recommended that a loanbe granted Holivia for the purpose ofof completing this link. It was ex-

plained that the gauge was the sameas that of the Argentine lines and anarrangement by which Holivia coulduse Argentine rolling stock was sug-

gested."Hy a coincidence Mr. Pepper, who

made the Railway re-

port under President Roosevelt, wasa member of the group coinmillee onHolivia. He also was railway adviserto the Committee on Transportation.This committee adopted a resolutionoffered by Martinez Vargas of Holivia,Tor ('tilling a RailwayConference further to consider thesubject of railway operation, inter-change of traffic, standardization ofrates and financing. This resolution.

a-- amended by the Committee oM

Resolutions and adopted by the recentconference, provided for referring the(ailing of such a meeting of

representatives to the Inter-America-

Commission. Justwhen the liiilroaiconference will be called has not yetbeen delermined.

Anient ilia's keen interest in developi-ng- Ihe n trunk line pro-

ject was indicated by Dr. Iticardo c.Alilao, a member of Ihe ArgentineFinancial Missio.n. not only lit theconference in Washington but also inhis address at the recet banquet ofthe Society here. It

was later pointed out by others thatArgentina now has an 1.100-mil- e railroad from 'Huenos Aires to the Holi-via-

border, much of it built by Iirit-is-

capitalists whose interests inSou ih America are estimated at $4,-oii-

ooo.oiMi, half of which is r.aid to bein Argentina. The Argentine govern-mer.i- .

it was raid, controls this line.France and Helgium also have heavySouth American railroad investments.

The war, it . is said, has made p

virtually Impossible for Europeancountries to continue their financingof South America and this is whydelcgaliens from Colombia, Peru,Chile, Hraz.l, Ecuador, Uruguay, Para-guay and other South American landshave visited the United States in re-

cent years to awaken American in-

vestors to what they call "a big in-

vestment opportunity." The proposedtrunk line would run from the UnitedStates-throug- Mexico, Central Ameri-ca. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, almostthe entire length of Chile and fromLa Quiaca, Holivia, to Huenos Aires.From this main line would be con-necting roads, some already complet-ed, extending like "fingers" in manydirections toward the Atlantic ocean.

THEATERS"John Petticoats"

WilPam S. Hart's newest ParamountArtcraft picture, "John Petticoats,"lias a quality that most of this star'sproduction lacked. This quality iscomedy. Tho picture starts out withone of the funniest situations imagin-able, and the fun is kept up to theend.

This doesn't mean that it Isn't astrong drama. The comedy is simplyan added attraction.

Hart Is a lumberman in the North-west at the beginning of the picture.A letter from a lawyer announces thatho has fallen heir to a modiste shop.He doesn't know what a modiste shopis, but he suspects it is a saloon, andhe goes to New Orleans to find out.When he sees what he has inherited aproper shame overcomes him andforces him to conceal his ownership.

Then the plot enters in, and con-cerns a girl, her father, and the youngwoman who manages the modisteshop. This girl, to whom Hart be-comes a good friend, is betrayed bya society snob who .is at the sametime trying to marry the girl Hartloves. The unfortunate young womancommits suicide, and the blame forher death is laid on Hart. All worksout cleverly and unexpectedly to ahappy ending. -

Some of the best scenes of the pic-ture are those in which Hart, invitedto a fashionable ball, amazes theguests by giving them a real lumber-jack dance. This isn't the hit he ex-

pected so he tried to learn the waltz.

WOMEN SEE CHANCE TOOUTVOTE MEN IN

COMING ELECTION

WASHINGTON, April 12 Ballotscast by women in the coming Presidential election will fall short of thepotential men's vote by over 2,000,000providing the suffrage amendment Isratified and state registration lawsenacted in time to permit women ailover the country to participate, according to estimates by the NationalWoman s Party.

With the 1910 census as a basis, theoman s party estimates the num

ber of men eligible to vote at 29,577,- -

690, and the possible woman votersat 26,883,566. In 1916, however, theactual vote cast for all various Presidential candidates was 18,528,743,omitting, ballots thrown out for causewhich leaves over 11,000,000 possjblevotes unregistered. If as large aproportion of the men voters remainindifferent in the coming election, wo-

men political leaders here say thatthe eargerness of women to exercisetheir newly acquired privilege maymore than offset the disparity in num-Ikt- s

between the sexes.In five of the states, moreover, wo-

men of voting age themen. Massachusetts has the greatestpreponderance of women "voters"with 58,264 more women than men,North Carolina is next with a women'smajority of 15,288 and South Carolinawith 10,307 is third.

time eor run iroRU to tirxThe inevitable has happened.The overworked single unit plant of the Island Electric Company

has at last broken down. The community is without light and suchpower as is available during the daylight hours is supplied throughthe courtesy of the Wailuku Sugar Company a courtesy to the com-

munity and not to the electric company.The question is what is to be done about it?For years the people of Wailuku and Kahului have submitted to

treatment at the hands of the local monopoly that has been nothingshort of outrageous. Almost never has the current supplied been upto the standard of voltage, with resultant dim lights and lagging motors.During the past two or three years this has been growing worse as thepower plant deteriorated and the load was increased.

And the price of current has been extortionate, particularly whenthe quality of the service is considered. The Maui consumers pay20 cents per kilowatt for lights against 12 cents maximum charged inHonolulu.

No relief can be hoped for from the public utilities commission.This conclusion is based upon past performance. It has repeatedlymade investigations such as it has been engaged in for the past 6 months.It has declared that the company had violated the provisions of itsfranchise. It lias even gone so far as to threaten disenfranchiscmeutproceedings. It ordered the president of the company, Robert E. Bond,to produce the books of the company within 30 days. Ami after allthis nothing happened. Listen to the following taken from the reportof the investigation just referred to and published in October, 1910:

"The commission finds upon review of the evidence, examinationof the auditor's report, and by inspection of the utility

"1. That the bookkeeping and auditing of this service corporationis lacking in detail, is unsystematic and inefficient.

"2. That its construction work is" rapidly depreciating throughinattention, with no depreciation fund for replacements.

"3. That there lias been added an additional unit in the way ofa 120 brake horsepower Diesel engine which will increase the efficiencyof the plant to some extent.

"Fifty percent of the plant before the installation of the Dieselengine had but a scrap value with no money available for rehabilitation.The Company has disregarded the service it owes the public; it hasimposed unreasonable rates, and, generally speakingly has violated theethics of sound business. In addition, the president of the Company,Mr. Robert E. Bond, has taken up his residence in Berkeley, California,and the Public Utilities Commission has been unable to obtain fromhim a comprehensive statement relative to the Island Electric Company,Ltd. We are satisfied that more or less advantage has been taken of thepublic, and that this utility has not complied with the provisions of itsfranchise." .

"An amendment of the Company's franchise was secured throughthe territorial legislature, 191 J and ratified by Congress on April 28,1916, extending the sen ice to the Makawao district. It appears thatthis franchise was obtained principally for the purpose of enabling theutility to raise capital, and a movement, we understand, is on foot todispose of the institution to a San Francisco syndicate.

WHAT CAX WE DO ABOUT IT?

f The superintendent of public instruction calls attention to the factthat out of the 92 students registered at the territorial normal school56 are of Asiatic ancestry and but 13 are Caucasians.

With only the most kindly feeling to these young Oriental women(there are few men) who are iertccting themselves as teachers, it isextremely pertinent to ask where we expect to get off in our American-ization work with such material to direct the minds of the children ofthe community? In our opinion it simply cannot be done. To take-an-

other stand were about as logical as to expect a blind man tosucceed as an exponent of color values.

But what are we to do about it? Frankly, we don't know. It isa mighty big problem and it should have the serious consideration ofevery one who has the welfare of Hawaii nei at hearl.

THE MAUI NEWS, I'M DAY, APRIL 16, 1920.

Tun xEi:n tor TR.trxnn workersMore power to Superintendent Yaughan MacCaughey and other

educators who are boosting for industrial education. It is perhaps thegreatest need in the educational field today. But it is not a need thathas yet fastened upon the minds of the people of the United States inthe way it must be impressed before the full aluc of the new educationmay be realized. '

The world needs trained workers as never before. Every yearlliey are growing scarcer. This is due to the breaking down of the oldapprentice system upon which the past supplied skilled artisans. Todayboys are not "bound out" to an employer by their parents or guardiansas they once were, to "learn a trade." Year by year the youth of theland shows less and less inclination on their own initiative to go intothe shops and factories with that end in view. Our system of educa-tion has changed their view-poin- t. , It has been at fault. The insistenceof educators upon the importance of an academic education, with itsrewards in soft-han- d jobs and elevated social standing, even at a sacri-fice in weight of the pav envelope, has been largely responsible.

The situation in general is perhaps well illustrated by the conditionin the printing trades. The printing industry throughout the UnitedStates today is handicapped for lack of workmen. It is probable thatthere are three or four times as many jobs seeking men as there aremen seeking jobs; and this in spile of the fact that labor saving ma-chinery has been brought to a high state of perfection in the industry-- .

The cry everywhere is of the difficulty of getting men and of gettingboys to learn the trade.

And yet the printing craft may be considered little less than anart. Certain it is that no small degree of artistic sense is a prerequisitefor the successful printer. Also there is all kinds of elbow-roo- m atthe top, with ample financial reward for the r.

hat is needed is something to take the place of the worn-ou- tapprentice system. This something w ill probably prove to be some kindof trade schools perhaps industrial trade high schools, fully equippedand capable of turning out real craftsmen. There is nothing of thekind capable of filling the bill now although there have been more orless earnest attempts in this direction through vocational training classesand schools.

Perhaps the various industries of the country will ultimately beforced to lead the way in the establishment of such schools. It shouldbe possible by this means to create schools of such caliber and practica-bility that young men could, in 2 or 3 years, receive a training in theirchosen field that should be superior to 4 to 6 years of ordinary appren-tice training.

And were such a system backed up with a broad-gag- e campaignof advertising throughout the country, equal and similar to that of thepresent correspondence schools, the success of such clfort would beassured. The great need today is to impress the national mind with asense of the dignity and profit of high-grad- e craftmanship ; and then toprovide the most practical system possible for training the youth of theland in the best use of both hand and brain.

Would Know FactsAbout Bolshevism

Rev. Hugh V. White Preaches Thought-

ful Sermon In Which He SupportsDr. Scudde- r- Urges Democracy Of

Thought And Expression

In lils sermon, lust Sunday evening,the Ilev. Hugh V. .While, pastor of th'.Kahului Union church, preached onthe subject "What About liolshev-ism?- "

His talk was inspired by thenear-sensatio- n caused two weeks apoby the publication of nn article byDr. Doremus Scudder, of Honolulu,which by many was interpreted as s

Bolshevism.Mr. White Is frankly not a Bolshev-

ist, but he is not afraid to discuss thesubject and ho agrees with Dr. Scud-der that the Russian experiment Isone which the whole world should dowell to watch with interest andsympathy.

A synopsis of the sermon is as fol-lows:

Recently Dr. Doremus Scudder,formerly pastor of the Central UnionChurch in Honolulu, and at. present amember or the Hawaiian Board, andone of the editors of the "Friend" pub-lished by the Hawaiian Board of Mis-sions, has written a long article, pub-l'she-

in an eight page supplement ofthe Friend, in which he lias set forthsome of his conclusions, drawn Iromhis own personal experiences in Rus-sia, and from his reading and studyregarding the conditions that haveprevailed and are prevailing in Russiaentitling it In such a way as to havedrawn down the ire of a good manypeople, the title being "Apologies tothe Bolsheviki."

I want to set forth many things Dr.Scudder has written, because manypeople have said unkind things abouthint on the basis of a misunderstand-ing of what he has written. In thefirst place, Dr. Scudder has written astory, an account of recent develop-ments in Russia. He was there forsome time, and took particular ob-

servation of what was going on; asidefrom which he has read much fromether sources than the ordinary press,and on the basis of information hehas got, wl.th his comprehending minddividing the true from the false, hehas given us his conclusions.

There has hardly been any subjectsince the revolution in Russia thathas been so dark as that of the Rus-sian government; it has been almostimpossible to get any news from Rus-sia that is re liable. One day you wouluget a report in the press that the Bol-

sheviki rule was one of unqualifiedterrorism, and the next day an ac- -

wouiu come mat uie isoisnevnuis the saviour of Russia; reports

written for the purpose of in-fluencing opinion, so that a greatmany of us, who have grown verysceptical particularly of press re-ports during the war have found our-selves in the dark as to what was go-ing on in Russia.

Nowadays the governments of thevane us countries have learned thepower of public opinion, and have us-

ed the public press for the purposeof propaganda. During the war theallied governments gave news to theworld that would inculcate a sympa-thy for their policy; and the policy ofthe allied governments has changedat least once; so you see how impos-sible It is for any man to believe thereports of the newspapers. Anywaymost people believe reports that arein harmony with their general ideas.People d'spleased with the theory ofgovernment going on in Russia wouldbelieve all the horrors told, and theman who believed tliat the Russianpeople had struck the right theory ofgovernment would believe all thehorrible stories were created fromsentiment; therefore, we are indebtedto Dr. Scudder because he has beenthere, and by his conscientious studylias given to us a reliable account ofthe actual conditions in Russia.

That is what we want; we want tofind out the truth about Russia, andwe don't want to be milk-fe- d by acensor; we don't wwnt our opinionsformed by propaganda of any particu-lar theory, and as full grown Ameri-can citizens we have a right to thefacts; and as for Dr. Scudd"r's rightto do anything like he has done, it isunnecessary to defend his right. AnyAmerican citizen has a right to in-

vestigate facts in any land and reportthein to the public.

Another thing we get from Dr.Scudder is that his opinon of the Bol-

sheviki has changed. His impressionwhen he first went to the country wasthat the Bolsheviki primary policy wasone of violence, whose theory of gov-ernment was impractical, and con-stituted a menace to the p?ace andsafety of the world. Since he hasbeen there he has changed his opinion.For a man So change his opinion onthe basis of new facts is alwayscreditable ; therefore, in that Dr.Scudder has allowed new knowledgeto change an old opinion, he hasfehown that he is a wide-awak- e man,although I understand well past mid-dle life. In the first place he has anopinion that the Bolsheviki have been

misrepresented to us; and many peo- -

pie who have been to Russia tell usthe same th.ng; and these are mattersof fact. The Bolsheviki have beenrepresented worse than they are; thatthe army of Kolchak and the govern-ment he tried to establish was farmore vindictive and given to whole-sale slaughter and brutal measuresthan the Bolsheviki have ever been;that the atrocities have not been bythe Bolsheviki but executed upon themby the followers of Kolchak; and Bol-

shevism appears to have appealed tothe people of Russia more than any-thing else up to the present time; andDr. Scudder has come to the conclu-sion that we have charged the Bolshe-viki with atrocities they have not com-mitted; and certainly if we havewronged them the only manly thingis to make them an apology. Thatalso I think is to be commended.

Dr. Scudder believes that a whole

lot rr.n b? said for them, and that ifwe knew what their real purpose was,instead of condemning them we shouldbe very sympathetic with them. Forcenturies they have been under themost brutal autocracy that the worldbis si known In modern times. Therewas no constitution, the czar was theabsolute ruler, with the power of 1 femid death over Ihe people; and weknow how he used it, and we knowthat Russia has been one of the darkspots in t lie world before the presentwar.

And these people have been loqklngforward for years to the time whenthey might throw off t lie yoke andestablish a democracy; and they look-ed to America as the golden land, be-cause here we had freedom; and sincethese people have been taught violencebeing the victims of it, is it any won-der (hey have risen and thrown offthat oppressive government and carri-c-

til" revolution by force of arms?Would it have been possible for humanbeings, to have gone through whatthe Russian people have gone through,i rul having power in their hands w th-cu- t

wreaking vengeance? There waswholesale slaughter when the UnitedStates was founded, and wholesaleslaughter when the Union was main-tained in 1861. And if Russia canbring together these nations inEurope and establ'sh a governmentof more complete justice than anythat has taken place, she will meritthe approbation of the whole world.

Dr. Scudder has it on good authori-ty that they have abolished alreadythe death penalty; and we should re-joice that Russia has taken such astep.

Hit lory will show that it is a revolu-tion n which the whole world shouldbe concerned. Dr. Scudder says it isaltogether possible that Russia willevolve something that will be of bene-fit to the rest of the world, that shev. ill succeed in her effort to establisha democratic government, and thatshe will, in so do'tig, teach a lessonto the rest of the world.

"Can any good thing' come out ofNazareth,"-- the Jews asked. Cin anygood thing come out of Russia? Verymany good things have: Tolstoy hascome out of Russia, and a good manyfond ide. ls of men; and it is possibleRussia is going to make a demonstra-tion of a new order or things that willbenefit all mankind! We all shouldwatch Russia's great experimentsympathetically and keenly, for if itturns out to be true that the peopleof Russia actually do establish ...asocial economic order which r- ..agreater happiness, insure Si eaterjustice and greater well being fotj thepopulation, then all the world willcertainly profit by it; and if we refuse10 profit by it, we merely cut off ournose to spite our face!

I think Bolshevism is an applicationor special form of what we haveknown for decades as socialism. Many

k,)f us have tried to understand thesocialistic doctrine, because we haveso earnestly desired the things whichthe socialist has formed as a theory,and of devising something that willput an end to bitter disputes betweenmen and classes. The socialists saythey can bring that about.

The clinching argument usedagainst socialism is this: "It may be;:11 right but it won't work." Now, Isay it is just possible that socialismmay work, and it is being tried on anational scale in Russia, though Iconfess I would rather see socialismtried in Russia than in America. Butif Russia proves socialism will workwe will see the benefits of it; and ifit will not, the world will learn itslesson. But I think, and my opinionis Bhared by many people, that the ex-

treme views and theories will bemodified; and they say the Bolshe-vists are modifying their extremeideas, and arc sending to this countryfor men to take high positions athigh salaries in their work of recon-struction.

Many changes are now here. Thereia our system which we call capitalismand many people know there is some-thing wrong with our country. Howare we going to set it right? Is itnot possible that capitalism, which isnot satisfactory, may be modified un-

til it becomes satisfactory; and ifBolshevism in Russia is modified un-til it is satisfactory, is it not possibleby going in different directons to ar-rive at the same place?

In other words the Greekorthodox church was one of the chiefinstruments against the people, andthe people knew it, so they overthrewthe church with the czar. I have readthe soviet constitution, and it providesfor religion. There is no establishedchurch, but all religions shall have anequal fooling and in Russia, as inAmerica, you can get married by thechurch or a justice of the peace asyou see fit. So donjbe shocked thatUussia has overthrown the Greekchurch; that was a necessity. Anddon't make the mistake also of say-ing that Christ'anily is comprised inthe Greek orthodox church, the RomanCatholic church, the Congregational, orany other one church.

What shall we do with the Bolshe-vists in America then? There is thespirit of Bolshevistic ideas among thepeople in America, a great manysympathisers and a great many whocall themselves Bolsheviki: those peo-ple who have found in the Bolshevikiideas a vindication of their own viewsso call themselves Bolsheviki. Thereare, of course, many converts to thisdoctrine; but what shall we do aboutit? If we hear a man advocating Bo-lshevism we can put him in prison,or deport him, and possibly, if he isviolent enough, we can execute him.Bui that sort of treatment is a failure.You cannot combat ideas with force.If a man thinks a thing is right youmay put him in prison or hang himfor thinking but you cannot change hismind; and (he chances are that a lotof people, who waver in their opinionswill say they were, very pleased with

the man's argument because it wasright, and you will make three Bol-sheviki instead of one.

One man, who Is not a socialist,Charles Evan Hughes, candidate forPresident of the United States at thelast election, said when the New Yorklegislature refused seats to the fiveelected socialist members, it was noth-ing but a national calamity. It is acalamity for this reason: that it Is arepudiation of democracy in democra-tic America. And if we use thesemethods we are not going to stop thespirit of Bolshevism. Another reasonis that that it Is undemocratic and

It io like the old regimein Russia, and It is directly due tothat policy (hut we have the Bolshe-viki revolution.

There are two kinds of radicalsOne is a man who wants to changethings, through violence and throughbombs. That man is a criminal. 'Hieoliier is a man of the rank and file,the thinking men, (lie business manand the good Christian man, who be-lieve that a radical change in oursocial order is not only desirable butnecessary for the preservation of ourdemocracy. Some of the finest menand women I know have these opin-ions; and if the theory of our demo-cratic government is sound they

be permitted to hold thoseopinions so long as they try to gaintheir ends with ballots instead ofbombs; and personally, if I should bepermitted fill my rights under theConstitution,. I could claim my rightto be either a socialist or a Bolshe-vist. And I claim that as a right forany man, so long as he abides by theConstitution. He may be wrong, butif he is wrong I am going to try toreason against him, not try to draghim down. And the integrity of ourAmerican government depends onmaintaining that principle.

Now, Dr. Scudder does not believein Bolshevism. He. says he doesn't,so he Is not one; but he has a rightto be a Bolshevist if he wants to be.We have legal methods by which theentire government of the UnitedStates can be changed. So very short-ly we are going to. have an amend-ment to the Constitution giving thevote to women, and that is a funda-mental change in the sociah and poli-tical status of women in America.And there are other changes doubtlesscomng; they may not be in the direc-tion of Bolshevism; but anyone whowants to change the government ofthe Unit--- ' " ies in this way is with-!- "

of a good citizen.The key to the Bolshevist situation

is that the masses of the people feelthey have a grievance. When Wood-ro-

Wi!lson declared he was fightingfor democracy, the great masses ofthe people throughout the whole worldwere filled with hope; but now thatthe war is Qver we find that nothinghas come out of it but the same olddominant selfis'hness; and now itseems to the people of the world thatthe only organized and strong move-ment that gives to them the hope ofbettering their condition is Bolshev-ism; and if Bolshevism works in Rus-sia it is going to be established inthe rest of the world, that is unlessthe governments of the world getpretty busy in making their govern-ments so much better for the peoplethat they will have confidence inthem.

There are two classes of people inthe world: the Haves and the Have-not-

Naturally the people getting onwell at present are pretty well satis-fle- d

with conditions as they are an,ddo not wish to change them; andnaturally there are those who feelthey are not getting on well Vhowant a change. The man who hassucceeded under the present system ofthings may say that the man who isdiscontented is to blame because hehas not. been intelligent or industriousand ,in many cases it is true. On theother hand the man who has notsucceeded may point to the other manwho has and say he is dishonest andcorrupt; and in a great many cases heis right.

In conclusion, if any of you thinkI have not done justice to this subject,let me hear from you and I will talkto you about it again.

EMIGRATION OF WOMEN FROMBRITAIN FORCED BY WAR

NEW YORK, April 6 The Salvation Army in the British Isles, is work-ing in cooperation with the government is promoting emigration of theapproximately 1,250,0(10 women in excess of the male population there,C ommissioner David C. Lamb, Londonforeign secretary of the Army on amission to the United States has an-

nounced here.Spinsterhood or emigration is the

fate of these women, the commissioner asserted, adding:

e offer no apology for. active propaganda designed to procure a betterdistribution of the sexes. There area million and a quarter more womenthan men in the British Isles today,and one of the biggest after the wartasks assigned the Salvation Army InBritain is to stimulate female emigra-tion and direct it to those colonies Inthe British Empire such as westernCanada and portions of Africa andAustralia where there are more malethan female inhabitants. The prospect of placing female domestics inthe United States has not been over-looked.

The Salvation Army has dispatchedseveral shiploads of emigrants to Can-ada already. We help them make ar-rangements to leave the old country,provide transportation when neces-sary and through our world-wid- e or-ganization see to it that the emi-grants are safely settled in the newland.

"Our records show that of the girlswho emigrated some years ago tocertain sections where women werein the minority 60 per cent were marri-ed within three years of their arrival.This fact and the opportunities forwork at good wages in other landsare not without significance to thetens of thousands of thoughtful andenterprising women in the BritishIsles."

Other after the war conditions inthe British Isles included the virtualdisappearance of the vagrant, and theshortage of agricultural labor due inpart to the wartime cultivation ofmore than 2,000,000 acres of grassland, Commissioner Iviinib said.

The success or failure of "localoption" in Scotland will furnish a"good indication" on the prospectsfor prohibition in the Isles, he said,adding that the "probabilities are thatthe public houses will go in manyparts of Scotland. ;

"In Great Britain as a whob how-ever, the tendency is toward a re-

striction on the sale of liquor in pub-lic houses corresponding to the Am-

erican saloons and continuation oflimitation as to hours. This makesfor temperance rather than prohibi-tion. However, much they may scoffEnglish brewers are taking the pro-hibition threat much more seriouslythan they are willing to admit, andare sper e sums in counter- -

propar .. iney are obviously wor-ried

"Everybody is wailing to analyzethe results of nation-wid- e prohibitionin the United States."

A Brief Survey Of The

Constitution Of The United States

(Coinc the third of a scrips of, press. Congress Is tlio law-mak.-

rommittce for bod v of the Vnilril States. It conuse of the Maul Woman's Suffrage Association.)

In the early days of our country-ther- e

were thirteen colonies, eachcolony governed untler ita own charter,that is, each had a writing statingundrr what kind of a government thepeople were to live, and what rightsand privileges they were to enjoy.Some of these charters were sent outby the King, others were prepared by

the colonists themselves. Since thesecharters were not exactly alike thegovernments were not exactly alike.However the King of England wasthe head of them all.

The affairs of the early Americansprospered unt 1 by the year 1775 fullytwo million people were in the colon-

ies The great majority of these peo-

ple were English. The Declaration ofIndependence tells ot the grievancesof the colonists. England at this timewas governed by a German King whodid not understand the needs of Eng-

land or of her colonies. Many of thepol ticians who had control of affairsin England used their offices for thepurpose of filling their own pockets.Thcv knew nothing of America andthought that they were safe in op-

pressing the far-awa- y colonies. Theprincipal grievance of the colonistswas that, they had to pay taxes andthey could say nothing about how Uiemonev should be spent. The English-

men in England had the right of see-

ing what became of their money. TheEnglishmen in America felt that theyshould have this same privilege.

When the Revolutionary War brokeout the central government which hadbound the colonies together disappear-ed and the first thing to be done wasto organize the thirteen separatecolonies into one strong body. During1775 and 1776 representatives fromthe thirteen colonies met and discuss-

ed d fferent plans for union. In 1777representatives of the colonies metand adopted the Articles of Confedera-

tion. This document was a great helpto the colonies during the war but wasnot strong enough for times of peace.

Some Objections to the Articlesof Confederation

There was no executive department,that is, there was no one like ourPresident and his Cabinet to see thatthe laws were carried out. Therewas only one branch of Congress; allthe powers were united in this onebody. Under the Article of Confedera-tion Congress could make treaties butcould not. enforce them; it could bor-

row money but it could not collectmoney to repay the loan; it could de-

clare war but it could not raisearmies; it could order the doing of athing or the making of a law but itcould not enforce the order. In otherwords it lacked power to do thingsand the result was a weak govern-

ment.After the war was over thoughtful

men soon realized that there must bechange. Representatives irom nve make to

colonies at anjfive colonies represented n.

gates and sei - to Philadelphia.finally t o'S" delegates met in

Philadelphi'in May, 17S7. After somemonQi ol debate nothing definite hadbeen 'ocomplished. There was greatbitterness among the men; each sec-

tion seemed to think only of its owninterests. When it looked as if theconvention would be failure, whenhe existence of the nation was

eatened they turned to God anded His divine help and under His

.idance the present constitution wasritten.In September, 1787, the constitution

' was finished and sent to the various"colonies to be signed. It was under-stood that if nine colonies agreed to

he constitution should go intofeet. By the middle of 1788 the re-re- d

nine states had signed,here was bitter discussion in most

t'ho colonies as to whether the(fJnst'tution should adopted, but

JM1 knew that some strong governmentmust be formed or the colonies could

hold together.The greatest statesmen of our own

Government is the most powerful andimportant of the three departments:

sists of two branches, the Senate andthe House of Representatives.

The nimni'ttnnmplil of the membersof Congress among the states was oneof the hardest problems In framingthe Constitution. It would have beeneasy all the states had been ot me

size, but somp were large andsome were small. The large stateswanted the to be apportioned according to the number ofpeople. That would have given thelnrce states more votes. Tho smallstates wanted each state to have thesame number of votes without con-sideration of its size. That wouldhave given the few people in RhodeIsland as much power as was givento the large population of New Yorkor Massachusetts. This was veryimportant point and it was discussedfor many weeks.

At last the Connecticut delegationbrought in compromise. As in allcompromise each side had to give upsomething. The Connecticut plan waslo give eaeli state two Senators, giv-

ing the small states an equal votewith the large states, in the Senate.In the House of Representatives themembers should be apportioned ac-

cording to the number people ineach. That gave the large states pow-

er in the House Representativesaccording to their population.Powers of Congress

Congress has the power(1.) To lay and collect taxes, cus-

toms, duties, and excises; to paydebts and provide for the defence andgeneral welfare of the country. Alltaxes and duties shall be uniformthroughout the United States.

(2.) To borrow money on the creditof the United States.

(3.) To regulate commerce withforeign nations, among the states, andwith the Indian tribes.

(4.) To .establish uniform rules ofnaturalization and uniform laws on;he subject of bankruptcy throughoutthe United States.

(5.) coin money, regulate thevalue of our own money and that offoreign coins and to lix the standardof weights and measures.

(6.) To provide for the punishmentof counterfeiting the or securi-ties (as United States bonds) theUnited States.

(7.) To establish offices.(8.) To establish courts below the

Supreme Court.(J.) To punish crimes on the high

sear. Congress has power to decideshall be considered crimes on

the high seas.(10.) To declare war and to make

In order tn rive lust ire to eachstate many sale guards were provid-ed. For example:

(1.) No tax or duty shall be leviedon articles exported from any state.

(2.) All ports shall have the samerights and rules.

(3.) Money cannot be drawn fromthe treasury except to pay bills au-thorized by Congress.

(4.) No state can enter into anytreaty, coin money, or undertake anyrtthor thrit lino hnnn pil'pn inCongress to do for all the states. Thisis a very wise provision for otnerwisethere would be great confusion in thegovernment.

ample of this is the present treaty nowbefore the Senate.)

The Presidest .together with theelected at the same

time, holds office for four years.Manner of Election

The framers of the Constitutionwere afraid to trust the people to votedirectly for i'resident. They arrang-ed that the people should choose"electors" who, in turn, should meetand vote for I'resident and

each suite to choose as many

electors as it has members in Con-gress.

As it happens the people have al-ways insisted on their electors votingfor the men that they, the people,want for President and

This is the way It works out, Cali-fornia, for example, has two Senatorsand eleven Representatives, that givesher thirteen electors. Each politicalparty nominates thirteen electors,these men are voted for at the Novem-ber election. As each elector, not onlyin California but to all the states, ispledged to vote for tho candidate hehas promised to support ,the peopleknow who is to be President as soonas they know what electors have beenchosen.

The candidate who lias a majorityvote of the electors becomes Presi-dent or t. In case nocandidate receives a majority vote otthe electors the three highest candi-dates for the Presidency who theirnames placed before the House ofRepresentatives; here they are votedfor by states, each state having onevote. The man receiving the majorityof the votes is declared elected. Ifno one receives a majority before thefourth of the following March theVice-Preside- takes the President'splace.

Meanwh.'le the two highest candi-dates for the y arevoted upon by the Senate. The onereceiving a majority is elected. A

luoi urn consists of two-third- 's of thestates. ,

unable to fulfill the duties of his officethe Vice-Preside- takes his place. Incase both are unable to act then theseduties fall to the Secretary of State.If for any reason he cannot fill theposition it goes to the Secretary ofthe Treasury, and so on in order.

In President Jackson starteda very had custom. Ho replaced allofficers already in office by his ownfriends. Later Presidents kept up thepractice; the result was that manyolllces were filled by incompetent peo-ple. At last, the situation became sobad that in 1883 the ciVil service billwas a passed. The bill provided for acommission to examine into the fit-

ness of appointees, and also gave thosewho qualified, their positions for life,or during pood behavior; this tookthousands of positions out of politicsand placed them on the basis of serv-ice and efficiency.

This of(Mirse covers a multitude of questionsand in as much as this commissionhas questioned you very closely, webelieve thai We can not offer any con-structive suggestions for your adop-tion other than to recommend thatyou pur 'lie the same course that youhave in the past.

This commission while consideringthe matter of taxation has taken up atarge number of individual cases, andwhile we find that, there has been?ome discrepancies in the matter ofvaluations which you have assessedas between individuals, these in-equalities have been so small that wemost heartily endorse the system thatyou have in vogue in arriving at yourissessments.

There is one small item that cameui dining our deliberation whichmight be considered by the next legis-lature, and we would suggest that youtake steps to have the law amended,f il is possible, that is in the matter

of exemptions. By reason ef the high;'.M of living and the consequent de-preciation of the dollar in its purchas-ir- g

power, we think it no more thanfair that Hie exemption for individualproperty holders should be inci ?ased,'rnm SlliM.oo to .

We further believe that it would bein the best interests of the public thattii advisory committee be establishedfor each taxation district in the Ter-ritory whose duty it shall be to studyablations of property, making their

recommendation to the Tax Assessorsof the respective counties for his guid-ance in arriving at his assessments.We believe the legislature should pro-vide for the appointment of such acommission on each island to actmerely in an advisory way, andserve without compensation .

than aculual expenses incu.ieu intraveling over the respective islandsso as to obtain first hand informationconcerning values. In this way itwould seem that the Tax Assessorwould be relieved considerable critic-ism on the part of individual or cor-porate property owners who are everready to complain of the tax assess-ments arrived at. We might suggestalo lhat you take this question upwith your supervisors and if they con-cur with our views, a bill may bedrawn for presentation to the legis-lature covering this recommendation.

In considering all of these mattersof taxation in this district during ourmeetings, we find that your system isabout the best that you can proceedunder, and we have at times felt thatpossible the appointment of this com-

mission has been somewhat super-fluous; however, it has been a pleas-ure to serve, and we sincerely hopethat the consideration of these variousquestions will assist you somewhat in

our work, and that even though wehave not attempted to give you relative values that our discussions con-cerning the different sections may beof material assistance to you in thefuture.

In cjosing permit us to express thethanks of this commission for tingenerous help you have furnished usthrough your office force, and for yourwise council in all matters broughtup. This commission therefore asksthat you kindly accept this report andthat it be discharged.

FRENCH TOLD TO FEEDAMERICANS ICE CREAM

PARIS, April 7 The NationalChamber of Hotelkeepers has begun,an active campaign to make Frenchhotels attractive to Americans. Am-erican ideas are being sought throughan agent of the Chamber in theUnited Stales. A series of articles forhotelmen is being published by 1heorganization's official paper. Thenecessity of modern toilet conveni-ences, honest, treatment, and other-wise conforming to the standards ofhe United Stales are emphasized.

Cleanliness is given the most at-

tention by the Chamber's agent in theI'nited Slates and he cites conditionsin some of the French hotels thatwould be surprising to an American.He recommends the use of white orlight paint to prevent the gloominessof interiors, greater illumination, rec-ognition of the bath-tu- b from the Am-

erican point of view, removal of vari-ous unsanitary quarters from near theUitrhen, elimination of little servicecharges and other changes.

"Breakfast," the correspondent re-

ports, "is the American's best meal,"and we must organize ourselves togive il to him and to served it quick-ly. Also, ice cream is the nationaldessert; it is eaten morning and night.America has machines for making thisdessert. Perhaps we can adopt amodel am 'er make it in France."

The horeli are cautioned by theorrespomh nt against "a veritable or-

ganization to boost prices" which hehad been reported to him. Other-

wise, he reasoned, returning travelerswould spread the bad mews and "wewould thus lose the chance we nowhave to make enormous rrofits."

To prevent such overcharging, agovernment agency is obtainingpledges from hotels to charge onlyposted rates to tourists directed tothem through the government's inter-national publicity campaign to attractvisitors.

Instructing Grandpa"I was talking to my little grand-

daughter over the telephone the otherJay," said an old man recently to afew or his friends at a hotel, "andwhen I ended I said, 'Here, Dorothy,is a kss for you.' She replied, 'Oh!pshaw, grandpa! Don't you knowthat a kiss over the telephone is likea straw said, 'Why, no, sweet- -

.low's that?" 'It's not felt, grand-pa,' she said." Blighty (London.)

Taro Scarcity PutsPoi On The Elevator

Shipping Of Product To Big IslandBlamed With Rise In Price-- Will

Soon Beach 5 Cents, Is Now The

Prediction.

A poi famine impends on Maul. Ac-

cording to those who are in touch withthe situation, taro, which aj'ew weeksago va3 a drug at SO cents to $1 abag is now readily commanding ?2 abag and is hard to get at that figure.I'oi which could be bought two orthree weeks ago at 28 pounds for adollar, has advanced to 26 pounds forth dollar, and it is predicted it willsoon reach 5 cents a pound or 20pounds for a dollar.

Maui lias been better supplied withtaro than most of the rest of the ter-ritory nnd prices have been lower.Tills has resulted in the shipping ofa large amount of taro out of the is-

land. It is stated that a little Wallukuhul has been sending about DO bags aweek to Hawaii for months past, andnetting a neat profit on it, as taro liasbeen unusually scarce on the Dig Is-

land for a long time.These shipments, together with the

fact that it is now rather the off sea-- 1

son for taro, has finally resulted in.the upward trend of the staple.

Another factor is the fact that vari- -

cms land. II Is rnnortod. is beinir Willi- -

drawn from taro culture for that ofric.f, Chinese growers being againtempted 'by the high price of thecereal, which is now about 515 perbag.

Pol was scarce on Maul about ayear ago, and the situation was mademore acute by Honolulu speculatorswho boosted the price by shipping outa great deal of taro to th.o city.

NEW BRITISH ORDERFRESH ARGUMENT FOR

FEDERAL INCORPORATION

WASHINGTON, April 10 Underthe terms of a recent Order of thePrivy Council ot the British Govern-ment, "no person other than a Britishsubject resident within the limits oflliis Order, shall act as managingdirector or in any position similar tothat of managing director, or shallotherwise exercise general or

control of the business of aChina Company." As a result, allAmerican managers of American com-- .

antes organized, for convenience, un-

der the British Icorporation Lawsfor China have been forced to resigntheir places in favor of British sub-jects.

This order is only one of ag-

gressive steps taken in the last yearby the Brillsh Government in con-formity with its policy of governmon-tola- l

encouragement and support offoreign trade. By way of contrast,the Congress of the United States hasrecently been attempting to destroythe one agency our Governmentwhich is most effective in aiding for-eign trade, the Bureau of Foreign andDomestic Commerce, by cutting outits appropriations.

This expulsion of the Americanfrom all companies incor-

Kong,' lends peculiar torce lo meof thc National Foreign Trade

Council and American Chamber ofCommerce In Shanghai to secure thepassage of a bill permitting FederalIncorporation for Foreign Trade.

Bills now pending before Congressaim remedy the situation. In Chinaat present, a company formed by Am-ericans and backed by Americancapital can be Incorporeal only underthe laws of Great B. Ise underthose of one of our dint-- . states.These state laws are so uu andc, singe so constantly, and court pro-- i
