ABOUT RURAL DELIVERY.
John Haskell Says Z Few Things
From the Farmers Side.

From the Farmers Side.
In the Weekly Chronicle appears
the following letter. 1t has not been
published in the daily, the editor evil
IDENTIFY thinking that like his mail
order advertising he could keep the
businessmen from seeing it:
Editor OF the Chronicle:-I read
in the Chronicle Of August 10 that
the merchants OF Abilene fear rural
mail delivery will hurt their bust
ness. Must the farmers of this coun-
ty be deprived Of a modern progress
sive, practical benefit because the
merchants Of Abilene fear the farmers
1T they have their mail brought to
them will buy what little things they
have to have from some village store.
"Now in all candor, is not that a
contemplate, selfish attitude for the
merchants to take toward matter
that will be Of great material and
mental help to the farmers, and en-
able them to have daily paper de-.
livered at their door and to keep in
touch with the worldp II rural de.
livery Of mail only benefits the post.
MASTER then drive into the coun-
try ionly benefits the doctor. The
doctor should be required to stay in
Abilene and have the country sick
brought in and fill the boarding
houses that the merchants may do
more business.
"Then when the doctor is done
with the patient, the hearse can be
kept within the city limits, the un-
dertaker deprived of a benefit from
rural drive, and the Abilene mer.
chant can sell yard or so of black
crepe that otherwise would perhaps
be sold by the cross road store keeper.
By all means let everything pay trib-
ute to the merchants Of Abilene.
Better think it over, merchants of
Abilene, and quit opposing free rural
delivery Of mail.
John D. Haskell.
Mr.. Haskell is evidently laboring
under the delusion that the Chronicle
represented the businessmen of the
city in its growl at the delivery Of
mail to farmers which was not true.
The Chronicle dreamed dream, that
was all. 1t published ialsehood in
its representations concerning Abilene
merchants. No businessmen object
to rural delivery and the remarkable
and short-sighted argument emanated
only from the brain Of the editor of
the Chronicle who seems incapable of
seeing he benefits Of any new feature
Of development. Wherever rural de.
livery has been tried it has been a
success; it has built up the business
Of the towns from which routes run
because no small postollces or stores
are then needed nearby the city. The
postmaster simply has more work to
do. The farmer is the party most
benefited and he is entitled to all be
can have in this line 1t undoubted-
ly makes his life easier and pleasant
er. II three more routes are estab-
lished here as contemplated it will
give about 600 families daily mail
and give ~, 900 in salaries to carriers.
1t will bring more people to the city,
it will make the farmers happier and
every merchant in the city is heartily
in favor OF the establishment of
routes. The Chronicle simply print
ed its ill.considered grumble to keep
in harmony with its established pol
icy of getting on the wrong side Of
questions Of public interest.

reelected all its old teachers except
Miss Florence Reasoner, formerly of

a reason. The board refused to give
one until pressed, when they claimed
that she didn't work sin harmonylwith

claims that the trouble started be-
cause she refused to buy wreath

much excitement in Leavenworth.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-11-13
PROSPECT OF INCREASE,

Pago Pago, now that it is an integral
part OF the United States, will be the
port OF call of steamers from the main
land, Apia getting the ~o-by. AS far
as harbor accommodation is concerned.
Page Pago is to Apia what Pearl Har-
Dor is to Kahului. The one is land
locked harbor, the other is an omen
roadstead. Had the war vessels which
were wrecked in the great hurricane
some years ago, been at anchor in Page
Page they might have ridden out the
storm, and many lives might have been
saved.
with the change of base from Apia
to Page Page, (Which is pronounced by
the way, Pango Pango) the latter
place will become by far the most i'm
portant commercial center of the Sa-
moan group. Since the late war q con-
siderable amount of business in Apia
has been closed up, as one can see by
the disappearance of many familiar
names from the advertising columns of
the Samoan Times which is published
! in Apia.
II Apla is to continue in the race it
will have to be connected by steamship
lines with the southern colonies, and
possibly with the German possessions
in the Carolines. OF course there is
direct trade with Germany by sailing
vessel. But the loss of a regular ocean
steamer calling at a port is consider
able. Steamers require fresh vegeta-
bles and fruit even in spite of their
cold storage plants Fish is another
thing that is eagerly bought And
then passengers always spend money
when ashore. Individually it may not
! be much but collectively it amounts to
a good zeal. All this Apia loses and
Page Page gains so we may look to
the growth of the one and the gradual
shrinking of the other unless rival
steamer lines are established.

OUTLOOK NOT BAD.

The gloomy view which some people
take of the election is not warranted
1t is true that the Independents have
a majority in both House and Senate
but when the Legislature gets to work
it will be found that the Independents
will not present a solid phalanX against
the Republican minority, and throw
down every measure because it is initi-
ated by Republicans. On many meas
ures they will agree with the Repub-
licans, and will depend upon the init
ative of the Republicans for important
bills which must be passed, no matter
what the majority of the Legislature
may be-
To those who watched the politics up
on the mainland and knew that there
would be a Republican victory there it
seemed important that there should be
Republican delegate TO Congress, as
he would be a nersona grata to the
administration. And it was decidedly
unwise to have a Democratic delegate
The election has shown that there
is no Democratic strength on the ISL
ands. In the matter of delegate Prince
David, the Democratic candidate did
not poll in either case half the vote of
the Republican candidate. Sam Parker
was beaten by Wilcox by 277 votes fer
the 56th Congress and by SIG votes f)r
the 57th Congress. But Wilcox's plu-
rality over David was 1923 for the 56th
and 2452 for the 57th Congress. In the
Senate no Democrat appears. There are
Republicans and Independents. In
the House there are two Democrats.
SO what people said about the Territory
becoming a Democratic stronghold is
all sheer nonsense.
The Republican vote on Oahu was
remarkably strong showing that the
commercial and business center could
support the party of progress. When
another campaign comes on the issues
will be different. The independent
party will find that the promises made
by the leaders have not been fulfilled
and there will in ali probability be a
reaction.
There is no need to be down hearted
A Republican victory all along the line
would have been thoroughly satisfac-
tory but as we could not get that we
must be thankful that we have shown
as much Republican strength as we
have and make the best of the condi-
tions we find ourselves face to face
with.

The segregation of prisoners making
a difference between those for long and
for short terms is a step in the right
direction. In time we shall have separ-
ate buildings for these classes the one
being simply a place of detention and
the other a petitentiary. But much
can be done even in the present build
ing. The subject was discussed very
fully some two years ago in the press,
and Mr.. Low, the then warden of the
Jail, was very strongly in favor of a
change. The Prison Commissioners
four years ago put forward the same
idea, but the Legislature made no APP
preparations for changes in the build
ing which both schemes involved. The
high sheriff and the present warden
have met the difficulty in another way.
What is needed is an industrial farm
upon which those who are in for minor
offenses can work. The plan of en-
ploying the prisoners upon the city
roads is not or - be commended but

the past

The relations between the officers of
the U. S. Navy transport Solace and
the Federal customs officials are the
reverse of friendly. The orders of the
customs officials are peremptory to
keep out Chinese and they cannot be
reversed or slackened unless the Off
cials at headquarters give leave. The
matter is not discretionary here. 1t is
unfortunate when the officials of the
same government fall out.
