this same speaker could not explain
why it was that in the years of
saccharine prosperity, the minor
industries had been cast aside.
Hawaii is today a step or two in
advance of the British West Indies.
1t has good seized rice industry,
and coffee is fairly well under way.
The principal requirement in coffee
Is more cooperation among the
planters. Coffee growing in Ha-
waii has peculiarities of its own.
The authority from Guatemala,
Brazil or Ceylon finds his general
rules apply, but many questions
of detail must be dealt with in
a peculiarly Hawaiian fashion.
The planter must adapt himself to
Hawaii, not Hawaii to the coffee
planters previous theories.
Nothing will promote the inter
ests of the coffee planters here,
more than an experiment station
conducted by the Government.
Every planter of the country
would share in the benefits. The
coffee industry deserves a larger
share of national funds than sugar
or rice, simply because the latter
are well on their feet and can ''go
it alone" Coffee and every other
young and struggling industry
should be given every assistance
possible from the Governmental
cash box. Sugar is now a prosper
GUS king, but we shoulS draw a les
son from the countries that have
found by bitter experience that
sugar may become a bankrupt
king. Now, while we are enjoy
ing affluence, is the time to pave
the way to continued industrial
stability. The experiment station
has long been talked of. 1t is
high time for it to be in practical
working order.

HELP THE NEW INDUSTRIES.

The discussion brought about by
the deplorable industrial situation
in British Guiana furnishes a lot of
interesting facts from which the
people of this country may draw
valuable conclusions. British Gui-
ana is now suffering from general
business depression, because all the
people put ali their money into
sugar. Sugar has been king. For
sometime past ii has brought gen
eral prosperity. Now prices are
low, competition sharp; sugar Is
still king, but it no longer goes
hand in hand with prosperity. The
people find themselves on the verge
of bankruptcy and are beginning
to ask what is the matterl
The answer Is simple enough.
British Guiana citizens put all
their eggs in one basket. They
have no industry to turn to that
will tide them over the present sea-
son of depression. They are ex-
periencing what is liable to happen
in Hawaii almost any day unless
the people and the Government
take an active interest in promot-
ing new lines of industry.
The latter part of February, DR..
ID. Morris, recognized authority
on the agricultural condition of
British Guiana, gave lecture on
"Minor Industries, in the city of
Georgetown. He told the assem-
bled capitalists that what the coun-
try needs is greater Investigation
of agricultural industry. He told
them they should make a start in
the production of rice, coffee and
cocoa. The wise capitalists made
all kinds of objections to the sug-
gestions made. They said they had
tried these and other new indus
tries and had made failures. One
speaker said it was useless to speak
of minor industries so long as the
staple industry Is not in fiourishing
condition. MAKE us safe and
comfortable with sugar, then we do
not mind risking little in coffee
and cocoa" was his argument. But

Sugar New and Profitable
Industry" is the title of a recent
American publication sent out
from the offices of the Orange
Judd Company, New York. The
object of the book is to convince
the farmers of the United States
that they can raise all the sugar re
quired in the United States. 1t
tells them all about what has been
done in sugar beet culture and
what can be done. The author is
Herbert Myrick, who is at the
head of the largest agricultural
publishing house in the United
States. Mr.. Myrick is also treas
urer of the American Sugar Grow
ers Society, (Which is coalition of
all interests throughout the coun-
try in an effort to secure such pro
lection in sugar that the domestic
industry may be quickly developed
until it supplies the $1OO,0O0,OO0
worth of sugar now annually inn
ported" The sugar beet growers
are a unit against the admission of
sugars produced by Asiatic labor.
We simply note these facts as an
object lesson to numerous friends
who look upon white labor sug
gestions with dignified contempt

advice had been, taken in the first
place can only be surmised, but
we firmly believe the conditions
would be far in advance of what
they are TODAY.
We do not believe in dwelling
upon the mistakes of the past ex-
cept as they furnish material for
drawing proper conclusions in the
future. What Hawaii needs today
is an active working arm that will
do more extensive work than is now
performed by the Board of Immi-
grafton. This work can be accom-
plished if the Executive will exer-
else a little more activity and put
the machinery of the Labor Com
mission in proper order. Water
doesn't rise higher than its own
level and unfortunately officials
do not usually move faster than the
people behind them. But it now
looks as if Mr.. Fitzgerald had
drummed good ideas into the minds
of some of our intensely ''practi-
CAP men and the time has come
for positive, progressive action.

conditions seem to have locked
arms on this one proposition. The
professional men of Paris object to
the German physicians, teachers
and clerks; the northern depart
ments dislike the Belgian factory
hands and the farmers of the South
cry out against the Italian miner
and farmer.
To put an end to the competition
of foreigners two laws are contem-
plated. One is against foreigners
in general. 1t is proposed to i'm
pose a military tax upon every for
eigner entering the country to earn
livelihood. The Frenchman
claims that as each native born
citizen is required to give a certain
number of years service in the
army, the foreigners should not be
allowed to receive all the benefits
of French protection without pay
ing any of the penalties. The
plan is to tax all foreigners for the
same number of years that French
men serve in the army; portion
the proceeds to be paid the famil-
les or widows of poor French
soldiers.
To get at the intellectual for
eigners the Frenchmen want law
to prevent the employment of
foreigner in any of the schools,
public or private, without the
special consent of the Minister of
Education. The penalty placed on
foreigners for infringing this law
is to be imprisonment from six
months to two years and fine Of
from 800 to $500. 1t is stated
that the enactment of this law will
necessitate all except few foreign
teachers of languages to leave the
country.
As is suggested by Cologne pa
per. the enactment of these exclu-
sion laws is liable to result in the
depopulation of France. "Like the
Chinese they are anxious to close
their frontiers. They forget how
ever that the Chinese increased
like rabbits behind their walls,
while France would lose with the
immigrants the only fecundate
element. For in spite of all the
warnings of the press, the people
are little inclined to burden them
selves with large families"

1t would indeed be refreshing
if someone could give a sensible
reason for the exercise of Stal
Chamber methods in the discussion
of matters in which the local pub
lie takes an interest. The quaran-
tine affair seems to be the latest
event in which the public servants
have made a grievous mistake by
placing the ban of secrecy upon
their deliberations. Rumors of ev-
cry kind and description have been
floating about the town. One
rumor says 'They did" and an
other says "They didn't" Sc it
goes from mouth to mouth and
with each exchange the crime of
the other fellow increases in virul-
ence. The powers-that-be deliber-
ate behind closed doors, and what
may be tempest in a tea pot is
Immediately put down as some
thing very serious. As it is, both
sides are mad and seem in fair
way to get red hot, and as the pub
lie looks at the situation neither
side is entirely free from criticism.
A splendid opportunity is offered
for public officials to straighten out
the affair and set the public at rest
by an open discussion of the why's
and wherefores. 1t always pays in
the long run for officials to take
the public into their confidence.

New York directors of the pub
lie schools have declared war on
pie. As a means of replenishing
the wasting energies of school
children, pie has been placed upon
the black list. Superintendent
Jasper says: "Many of the child
ren who lunch at the schools don't
bring their lunches from their
homes, but instead, bring a few
pennies to buy it with. They are
left, therefore, entirely to their own
Judgment. Their Judgment runs
to pie. They 90 out to the candy
stores and bakeries and get a
piece of indigestible mince, Gust
ard, lemon or pumpkin pie, and eat
it usually without any warm drink
to stimulate digestion. Sometimes
they invest their pennies in cakes
and cookies that are equally de
structive to their health, or in big
stick of poisonous red candy. 1t
is a serious matter with lis. | be-
lieve the board of education will
adopt the plan suggested" Not
withstanding many of our resi-
dents point with pride to the fact
that their ancestors came from the
great American pie belt, and there
fore might be preiudiced in favor
of pie, we believe this is subject
that might well receive attention
from our Board of Education.
New York is not the only city
where the pie-eating tendencies of
children are being seriously dis
cussed. The general verdict seems
to be that the pie must go.

The Congregationalist is author
ity for the statement that during
the last six years the theological
students in German universities
have decreased from 1927 to
1856. The cause given for this
state of affairs is the weakening OF
faith through extreme liberalism
the over-crowding of the ministry
and the small salaries paid to pas
tors. In Prussia, minister at
the beginning receives $3.50, and
can not expect at any time to re-
ceive more than 5000. 1t is signi-
ficant that the only two univer-
sites which report increased at
tendance of theological students
are Greifswald and Erlangen,
which are among the less famous,
but which are most conservative.
The-liberal teaching seems to work
both ways in cutting down the
number of young men taking up
the ministry. Having been
taught the easy road to Heaven,
they naturally draw the conclu-
sion that most everybody will get
there any way. Consequently as
there is not much money in the
business of religious teaching, they
seek some more renumerative pro
LESSONS.

KEEP THE BALL ROLLING.

Commissioner Fitzgerald seems
to have sized up the labor situation
in this country just about as it is.
The fearless manner in which Me
has talked facts has had a very
good effect in circles where the
white labor proposition was once
laughed at. A general change in
the atmosphere has been noted, and
it is to be hoped that this new
state of affairs will continue after
Mr.. Fitzgerald returns home.
At the present time we find
many saying Eyes, yes" in an
swer to white labor sugges-
tons. We are pleased to hear
the general expressions of approba-
ton, but we trust that the visit of
Mr.. Fitzgerald will amount to
something more than the exchange
of favorable opinions.
If the employers of labor are
honest they will Immediately be-
gin to lay plans for obtaining white
laborers. 1t is one thing to say
nice things about the changes that
should be made and can be made
and quite another thing to go to
work in systematic style and
make the changes. This last is
now the duty that devolves upon
the planters and the Government
as well. Actions speak louder
than words. We have it on good
authority that one, perhaps two,
corporations are moving in the pro
per direction. The beginning is
good so far as it goes. The only
danger is that after the first en-
thusiasm is worn off some of our
good friends will forget that they
ever even talked white labor. A
few desultory shots will accomplish
little. What Is needed is a gener-
al advance all along the line.
The Government can show its
good will by resurrecting the Labor
Commission. 1t reflects no credit
upon the powers-that-be that this
important commission has been al
lowed to die natural death. As a
matter of fact it reflects discredit.
The work that was dropped almost
two years ago might have been con
tinued, so that the Labor Commits
sloners OF California would at
least find some semblance of an or
ganization to deal with. The pre-
sent white labor agitation is the re-
suit Of the excellent work done b9.I

The questionable policy of Sec

aggravated form in semi official
circles. For some months past the

talked over the situation and inall :
made known their grievances 10 the
Executive. The interview with
the Executive was held behind
closed doors, the ban of secrecy
was enforced and all the public
knows about the affair is that the
officers of the military were salts
fed
Now comes a meeting of the
volunteer officers TO Organize a
social club" This is indeed a most
innocent matter for discussion, but
at the last moment we find these
gentlemen placing every man on
his honor TO say nothing about
what was said or what, if anything,
was accomplished. This seems to
be the most senseless action the of
fcers of the volunteer forces have
ever allowed themselves to be mix
ed up in. The public may well
begin to ask when this idiotic fash

result is sure to be disastrous.
Friends Of the Government want
to know whats up" and possibly
become suspicious. Enemies of the
Government get a handle by which
they club the integrity of officials.
Not long ago the Portuguese
made a request to form a fraternal
and political organization and were
refused. These men now point 10
the meetings of the volunteer of
ficers where the public is shut out
and want to know the difference
between what they proposed to do
and the action of what we might
term semi officials. They size it up
that one set of the citizens of
Republic can do what another set
cannot do, which is not upheld by
one single principle of true demo
cracy. The officers will undoubt-
eddy reply The Government
knows what we are doing" What
if it does! Where does the public
get off!
The very fact that these gentle
men are among the strongest sup
porters Of the Government ought
to lead them to so carefully guard
their action that there will not be
the slightest appearance of favorit-
ism. This country is not in the
throes of political dissension. There
Is no occasion for our military of
ficers to lay their social club plans
behind closed doors and also close
the mouths of those attending the
meeting. There is however, null
titude of reasons why the doors
should be open, The public will
give all sorts of versions of the
meeting; sooner or later the numer-
Gus misrepresentation made will
