MORE INDUSTRIES.

Apropos Of the crying necessity,
in this country for more diversi-
fed agricultural industry, many
valuable and interesting lessons
may be drawn from an article on
the new farmer Of the Southern
States by Prof. Dabney Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. The writer points out
that the depression in the cotton
and tobacco markets has indirectly
proved beneficial 10 the farmer Of
the South. since it has forced him
TO cease giving all his attention 70
one product. Prof. Dabney states
that many Southern farmer
through bitter experience has dis
covered that cotton and tobacco
are not the only paving crops and
many Of the more intelligent who
turned their attention 10 truck
crops OF fruits have established a
business which pays them far bet
ter than cotton did even IN the days
Of high prices"
As the result Of this awakening,
the past five years have witnessed
g remarkable change IN the agri-
culture Of the South. Farm crops
have become diversified Where
corn was once purchased from the
Northwest, it i now produced at

Notwithstanding the defeat of
the arbitration treaty in the United
States Senate, the pacific influence
of that document Is not entirely
lost, The fact remains that the
leading diplomats Of Great Britain
and the United States succeeded in
reaching an understanding that all
matters of difference between the
two nations shall be submitted to
arbitration. After all is said and
done the destiny of fraternal rela-
lions between nation and nation IS
in the hands of the diplomats, and
the influence Of the document sign

Some Of the papers of the Unit

that there Is danger of Speaker

men are becoming restless on ac-
count OF desire to begin work

their constituents have particular

whip hand through the appoint
ment OF committees. RebeIlious
individuals stand a good chance Of
being RELOCATED to unimportant po-
sitions. As long as Speaker Reed
can hold his Republican majority
together, there Is no prospect of
Congress devotine the time Of the
extra session to any other than

quarters, being particularly unin-

home. With various other foods
stuffs and fruits the same change
has been noticed. Cattle are
raised in sufficient quantities TO
supply the home market and stats
ties show an increase of over two
million head of hogs in the cotton
states from 1890 to 1896.
Hawaii today is in much the
same position as the cotton states
Of the South in their palmiest days.
About all its hope for the present
and the future is locked up in the
sugar barrel. Sugar has been the
money product and to sugar the
industry of the country has bowed
Il willing knee, because there was
profit in 1t. The nation and the
people have Jared well, SO well in
fact that the possibility of a rainy
day" seems TO have escaped the
minds of the community. The
minds of the community. The PEG
pie have followed in the same path
that has led many another nation
through fields of valuable, though
most diSagreeable experience. So
many examples have been furnish
ed us in recent years, it seems rea-
sonable that our citizens should
profit from those lessons and fore
stall the always possible evil day
when depression may surround the
staple product. Hawaii needs
more houses Of refuge on its indus
trial battle ground.
An evidence OF this was brought
out by the Hilo Tribune in its last
issue. Reference was made to a
large shipment of hogs that sold
in Hilo at eight cents a pound.
The fields about Hilo can produce
nearly three crops of corn a year,
enough to feed all the hogs re
quired for the Hawaiian market
and then have plenty to spare.
This is only one instance among
many where Hawaii is paying out
its money needlessly for necessi-
ties that can be produced home.
In the days of prosperity the big,
rapid money making schemes are
the eyes of the people to
the small affairs.

The wisdom of putting stop to
''scorching" and training for road
races within the city limits cannot
be questioned. Every citizen who
stands in constant fear of being
knocked down will smile satisfied
smile on learning that the police
department has taken the matter
in hand. But there is such a thing
as a business like method of ac-
complishing good results. 1t is us
uallv the custom of well regulated
police departments TO make public
announcement of rulings affecting
even thoughtless bicyclists and not
leave the absolute assertion of au-
thority to patrolmen, The public
viii be pleased to hear that the
police authorities have declared
against road racing practice within
a radius of two miles of the police
station. There are plenty of I'M
frequented roads outside that limit
ON which budding racers can
strengthen their sinews of war.

Governor Pingree of Michigan
has vetoed ''curfew law" on the
ground that it involves interference
by the State in matters of purely
domestic concern. In view OF the
successful workings of such a law
in many cities, Governor Pingree' :
argument seems pretty far fetched,
Since the enactment OF the curtew
law in this country no complaints
have been registered against State
interference with domestic affairs.
When fathers and mothers fail to
look after their children, it is Ger
tainly within the province of the
State TO take a hand in the matter.
The State guards children against
cigarette poison, why has it not the
same right to protect them from the
degrading influences boys and girls
encounter by wandering about the
streets late hours at night!

Party smash-ups are now the
order of the day in the United
States, Its not surprising that the
Populists have caught the fever.
Chairman Marion Butler is now
the object of attack from the mid
dle-of-the-road' faction of his
party. This faction demanded the
calling of a convention the real OBJ
ject of which was to get rid of
Butler. He of course refused to
furnish the material for securing
his own political death warrant, so
the ''middle-of-the-roaders" have
decided to call their own conven-
ton. They will break away ON an
Independent wing, thereby lessen
ing their chances for success. The
idea seems to be gaining ground
among many citizens of the United
States that to testify faith in GER
tain political theories is more Inn
portant than accomplishing prac-
teal results in the government of
the republic.

The United States ~ cinching
Its hold upon Pearl Harbor has an
opportunity to gain an immense ad-
vantage over every other nation
having an interest in the commerce
Of the Pacific. The United States
may. if its statesmen have the pro
per amount of foresight, become
the kingpin power OF the Pacific
Ocean. The United States can
control the commerce Of the Pacific
and be in a position to protect that
commerce in time Of trouble. But
this control and this protection viii
never be gained by an afraid-of-
your-shadow" policy and fear that
some private individuals viii be
come miIionaires.
One thing Is a positive fact.
Every year the commerce Of the
Pacific increases; every year the
value Of the Hawaiian Islands as
a port Of call Is enhanced; every
year the nations Of the world appre-
ciate more keenly the vantage
ground gained by the power that
owns and forriies Pearl Harbor.
If land spectators there are, these
men are not asleep To the fact that
every year that goes by swells the
possibilities Of their realization, and
they can well afford 10 sit by and
wink the other eve when some
statesman announces that some one
Will become d millionaire by the

proposition in which the wealth or
