Mr.. EDTTOR:I have heard the remark and think
l have beside seen it in some communication in
your columns that a reciprocity treaty would
only benefit a few planters" This has seemed
strange, for to me it appears that what benefits
the planting industry benefits the whole country
and what depresses and destroys that, depresses
and destroys the country.
Other departments of industry are hardly less
affected than the sugar industry itself. 1t forms
about fve-sixths of all our exports, besides what
indirect Influence it may have upon the remainder,
and its destruction, would, to that extent, be dis
astrous upon all depending industries, and Govern
ment itself.
Suppose 4 plantation to be started capable of
producing six hundred tons of sugar annually. To
conduct it well will require say two hundred hands
including all. These must all be provided with
dwellings and clothing and food. To supply
dwellings employs the mechanic-to supply food
employs the agriculturist-to supply machinery
employs the machinist-to build and run schOoners
to carry supplies to the plantation and its products
TO market, employs the ship-earpenters and sailors.
And all these classes buy food of the farmer
who with all the others buy clothing and supplies
from the merchant, who in his turn imports his
goods, paying for them with the money received

ACCIDENT To DR.. F. W. HUTCHIsoN.-We regret to

severe accident at Waikiki on Wednesday last. He
was in the act of mounting his horse, when the ani-
NAL suddenly started and threw the Doctor with
great force to the ground, striking on his hip. DR..
Saunders was promptly at hand, and reports no
bones broken, but the injuries received are of such a
nature as will probably confne the Doctor to the
house for some weeks.

A SUMNER ~SHowER.-Last Wednesday morning
the trade winds were interrupted for several hours,
and quite a shower of rain fell pretty generally all
over this Island, and as we learn by letters, also
on Maui. 1t was however only q very temporary
relief to the parched earth. Some portions of the
Islands are suffering severely from drought, partic-
ularly the district of MakawaO on East Maui, where
some of the planters are much discouraged, and it
is reported. have talked of giving up and turning
their cattle into the cane-felds.

CARBONIZED AIR.

In Sheffield, England, patent has been
taken out for warming and lighting build
ings by process which is claimed to be
both certain and cheap. In passing through
a charged battery atmospheric air is carbon
lied, and thus combustible gas produced
which burns brighter than coal gas, and
mixed with air has heating power which
can melt copper wire.
We clip the above from an exchange that
appears TO believe that something import
ant has been, or soon will be discovered in
developing new source of heat and light.
Some how our faith is weak in any power
of science to burn either water, common
sir, or carbonic acid, at any profit. 1t is
precisely like burning cord of wood or q
ton of coal over the second time just after
the fuel has burnt ones, and tie elements
not reorganized in any vegetable
growth. We know the London Nature IA
vors the idea that hydrogen may be extract
ed from water, and burnt into water again,
with large gain of heat and mechanical
power. But the carbon that carbonises
atmospheric air or hydrogen for this Sheffield
invention, was organized by the suns light
and heat, and is the real source of all his
light and heat. Coal or oil would do the
same. Let him draw heat from water, air
or tarbonic acid, with nothing combustible
to supply gas th-t will burn, then his patent
will be worth something and his discovery
deserve attention.

An IMPORTANT ISSuE.


According TO tie st. Louis Republican,
stOne of the main issues now before the
country is: Shall We have commercial high
ways open to the general public, between
the Western States and The Atlantic sea-
board?"
On the above question our vote is in the
affirmative. 1t is difficult to oVer-estimate
the business and money value of the very
cheapest and best public highways that Ia
Dor, capital and science are able to con-
struct. a railway that costs from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars mile appears like.
ly to supply cheaper transportation of per-
sons and things than one that costs two or
three times more. The narrow gauge
roads will soon settle this question. Our
people Ike TO travel often, and at the mini
mum expense. They take delight in
moving many things, and in
seeing all the world in motion. To crafty
this passion, all locomotive machinery
must be well oiled, and have solid track
as straight, level, smooth and economical as
possible. Nothing is more patent than toe
fact thai railway men throw away large
sums of money in matters of mere ornament
and then ash the public 10 pay interest on
their silly investment. No private citizen
who builds a palace to crafty his taste or
pride expects his neighbors to pay rent for
looking at biz dwelling. Common people
like farmers and mechanics want highways
with all costly ornamentation left off the
bill. How chasply thousand men may
be carried comfortably thousand miles, is
one of the great industrial problems of the
ace.

CAN AN OFFICER HIRE A Sub
STITUTE?

a private note from one Of our most in
telligens citizens calls our attention to the
proceedings of the Board of Comm on
Council, at its last meeting, relative 10 the
city prescriptionist. Il appears from the
brief synopsis of the report of the Dispen-
sary Committee that
"The city dispensary was at present in a
good condition, the charity prescriptions
were being satisfactorily filled. Some irregu-
iarities had been reported, but upon an in
vestigation, nothing had been found to sub
stantiate the report. The gentleman who was
elected by the committee had hired sub
Stitlde, who was acting as dispensary clerk
in bis place. He was competent so far as
the committee knew. They desired to know
of the City Council whether or not the
same was lawful. The latter part of the
report was referred to a committee COM
posed of Councilman Atchson, Hamilton
and WiGfrey, for investigation"
Our correspondent concludes his note
with the inquiry: /" Is there anything new
under the sun?" In reply to that interrog-
atory we have TO say that if!ho Committee,
to whom the lawfulness of this question was
referred, should decide thai. an elected Off
Ger can hire a substitute and turn over his
business to him, then the elective system,
republican government, representative de-
mocracy, is at an end. We do not know
who the Dispensary officer is. We do not
know who is his clerk. Therefore we can
not mean anything personal to either of
them. But their action, as indicated in
this report, puts at stake an important prin-
ciple of government, Federal, State and
municipal If it can be done in the last,
why can it not be done in the second, and
in the first? If the Dispensary officer can
hire bis substitute, why cannot Council
man or an Alderman go and do likewise?
If either of these can do this, why cannot
the Mayor? If the Mayor, why cannot the
Governor of the State, or member of the
Legislature, or member of Congress, or
the President of the United States? The
principle is the sane. One may be
larger oak than the other, but they
all come from an acorn. Absenteeism, the
bane of Ireland for centuries, is the cause
of misrule wherever permitted. The elect
ed officer, whether for the city dispensary, the
City Council, the Legislature, the Guberna-
torial or the Presidential chair is elected be-
cause of his personal qualifications and fit
ness 10 DISCHARGE the duties of the office to
which he is elected. If, from the pressure
of other business, or from other causes, he
cannot discharge the duties of that office,
there is but one course left him to pursue
that is TO resign. Then the vacancy can be
filed by the City Couccil or other legal au-
thority. Though this be but simp,e dis
pensary officer, the principle involved is just
as important as if he were the President
of the United States. 1t was not the little
two-pence tax on tea that produced the
revolution of 1915. 1t was the right or
principle thereby asserted which caused
that dreadful war with all its consequences.

*Fourth week in March estimated.
= These roads, with their feeders, are the
lines mainly engaged in transporting the
grain of the Western farmers to market.
The increase noted shows that these roads
are doing "a fine business, and must be pay
ing handsome dividends to the stockholders,
but it makes the Western farmers vince to
enable them to do it. One of the most con-
elusive points made by the recent conven-
lion of farmers in Illinois, was statistical
one, showing the commercial history of a
car load of oats shipped from Pine Rock,
Illinois, to Lowell, Mass. The oats were
bought ny the shipper at % cents bushel,
costing $50 "a; transported to Lowell at an
expense for one car of S242.22; and sold at
81 cents bushel for S359.24; that is, at a
loss of 1922 to the shipper. No arguments
need be added to this brief statement of
facts to show where lies our greatest needed
reform inst now.

MOST persons will be surprised to learn
that New York city contains the densest
population of any city in the world. The
population to the square mile in several of
the largest cities of the world is as follows:
London, $4,000 Pekin .......2S 500
Paris. ......2S,0OO New York.. .43 900
Pekin has generally been regardei as sur
passing all others in the density of its popu-
lation, but it appears that New York ex-
ceeds Pekin by 1880, or more than fifty
per cent per square mile.
