RUBBER TREES FOR PROFIT.

1t is true, as a contemporary says,
that coffee culture has not been a
money making venture of late in these
Islands, but happily another use may
be found for the uplands where the cof
fee experiments are tried, In common
with Allan Herbert, one of our most
painstaking students of forestry, the
Advertiser believes that the mountains
and foothills of Hawaii may be made to
grow rubber trees which, in a few
years, would yield big revenues. Rub
Der, owing in part to the wasteful
methods of gathering the sap in South
American forests-methods which de-
stroy the trees-and partly to the new
and varied uses to which the product
is put, has advanced in price and now
sells for double what it did few years
ago. This accounts for the present in
feriority of rubber goods, manufactar-
ers using old and half-decayed material
to adulterate their fresh stock. AS the
years go on rubber forests will become
more valuable than orange groves were
decade or so ago and Hawaii, If 1t IS
wise, will be raising the trees In the
meantime. There is plenty of room on
the mountain sides and as the forests
would beautify the landscape and con-
/ serve the water supply, anything the
Government can do to stimulate plan,>
ing ought not to be withheld. That the
rubber tree fiourishes in this climate
has already been shown.

Mems Belts and Their Effect.

There Is another side to the leather
belt now so greatly affected by men,
in lieu of suspenders. A prominent
eastern physician says of it, The belt
is very nice in a great many ways, and
certainly it is more slightly when man
wishes to remove his coat. But it is a
menace to digestion. In order to keep
the trousers in proper position it IS
necessary to have the belt buckled so
tightly that it can't help having an in
furious effect. In hot weather the
greatest freedom of movement shou d
be observed, and the looser a mans
clothes are the better ii is for him.
These belts, too, seem to grow narrow
er each year, and when they are buck
led tightly they form a deep groove
around the body, which retards circu.
lation and has a bad effect upon the
digestive organs. Many a man who
complains because his food doesn't
agree with him might overcome the
difficulty by discarding his belt

THE GOVERNORS COUNCIL.

The Executive Council, though not re-
Quired by law, is a useful and proper
adjunct of good government In these
Islands and is not likely to be interfer-
ed with. In fact there Is no statute
under which either Congress or the
Legislature could dlsband It,; for the
Governor has as much right to call the
heads of departments about him for
counsel and advice as has a General In
the field to call a council Of his officers
or as the manager of great plantation
has to hold regular meetings. If he
wants to. with his foremen and over
seers. In the Hawaiian case the heads
of departments might refuse to meet
each other and the Governor. but being
sensible men. DESTROYS of having a uni
form policy In the conduct of affairs
and or submitting their plans to the
united judgment of their colleagues,
and especially to the judgment of the
Attorney General. they choose TO meet
In stated council. Is there any reason
why they shouldn't?
The Advertiser believes that there Is
not a Governor In the United States
who does not meet those who are re-
sponsible with him for the success of
his administration whenever he has
need of their services. No matter
what the meetings are called they are
in effect executive councils. In the new
possessions of Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines and in the temporary Ameri-
can colony of Cuba the Cabinet prin-
ciple has been established by law; 1t
exists here by custom and for the pub

Wheeler had mercy neg ected to In
form her husband that they were to

he had lost his family, and asked their
advice as to where they supposed he

Five Years Old.

The present conservative government
of Great Britain celebrated its fifth
birthday on July 2. England has had
a total of twenty-eight administrations
in this century. eight of which were
longer than the present one. The long
est was that of Lord Liverpool, which
lasted from 1872 to 1927. a period of
fourteen years and 319 days. Lord sal
isbury's second administration endured
for six years and fifteen days, in which
time there were six changes In its COM
position. The remarkable thing abou;
the present one is that there has not
been single change, in spite of the
fact that 1t has nineteen members.

Voyagers' Fancy Toys.

The time has passed, it is said, when
any old clothes that a traveller might
possess were accounted good enough
for an ocean voyage. Indeed, the
dressing of some of the passengers on
some ocean liners has recently become
so elaborate that persons looking for
ease and informality are alarmed at
the rapidity with which the former
ideas on this subject are changing. A
recent traveller says that three-fourths
of the men on the steamer wore their
dress coats at dinner, and women wore
diamonds as at a party.

Pecans in Plenty.

The pecan crop of Texas promises to
be the largest known in many years.
Last years crop was a small one, caus-
ed principally by the floods in the BraZos
Valley, but this year the trees are
loaded with nuts. The price is better
than usual, owing to the ract that
there is no surplus from last year. and
that the demand for the nut steadily
grows. st. Louis is the great market
for the Texas nuts, and thence they
are distributed all over the world, Lon
don, Paris and Naples taking large
quantities of them.

The man for Delegate in Congress is
one who can induce the Appropriation
Committee to insert items In its bill for
Federal public works in these Islands
and who when our affairs are under
discussion in the House can get a
chance to be heard and use the chance
intelligently. Any other kind of a
Delegate would probably be a lay
figure.
