be the most formidable opponet against
which American handicraft and sea-
manship has been measured for many
years. 1t may be that the grounding
of the Shamrock II during her brush
with her elder sister off Southampton
will be regarded as an i'll omen by sail
ors, but it Is more an evidence that the
pilots did not know their business. AS
to rocks and shoals, it's an old pilot
adage along the Atlantic that if one
don't know where they are he should
know where they are not.
Although there was really no test in
the true sense of the word between the
two boats on that occasion, Shamrock
II. seems to have scored point or two
over her competitor. The new boat
footed faster than the old one, but ac-
cording to the despatche she seemed a
bit tender on the wind. All the same
she pleased her owner and designer,
and new boats are almost always tend
er. 1t is not at all likely that Sham
rock II. will prove to be a crank, but
what she really amounts to as an up-to-
date cup hunter can only be known af-
ter she has spread her wings in COM
pany with the American craft. The
summer is coming. The fun will soon
begin.

Parasites and the Public.

Editor Advertiser: The following sug-
gestions are offered the public for con-
sideration:
| 1. Incurables, habitual drunkards, gam
blers, burglars and tramps, while free,
are a menace to all who are self-sup-
porting.
| 2. In some way, directly or indirectly,
clothing for those who do not work.
! Tramps, burglars, drunkards, gamblers,
must eat. If in prison, workers are tax
ed for their support; if free. they exact
tribute from all who have means
| 8. If free, tramps and burglars and
drunkards reproduce their kind; and the
| same problems repeat themselves end
lessly. If in prison, and Set to work
upon public roads, or to manufacturing
articles for the market, they are doing
| work that honest men need, to support
their families.
4. The duty every Government owes
self-supporting men and women is abso-
lutte freedom from parasites. Whether
these parasites appear as trampS or as
burglars, or as incurables, does not mat
ter. Those who are sick should be in
hospitals. All the rest should work. If
they say they cannot get work-well,
Government farm would settle that
matter. There they could and should be
self-supporting. They should have
nothing there their labor did not produce.
The expense of establishing such farm
wouiu be considerable. ne expense aft
EDWARDS would be much less than under
the present system.
Paternalism? Yes. But paternalism
by Car, for personal ends, is one
thing; paternalism by intelligent, indus
trious people for their self-preservation
for tue best interests of coming men
and women-is quite another matter

IS 1T ONLY A LEADER?

1t IS timely to consider the eHect
which has been produced on the minds
of men accustomed to weigh public
events, by the continuous vaudeville
performance given at the Executive
Building and Bungalow under the joint
stage management of america j.
Emmeluth and "Oily Bill'' White. The
view of thoughtful men here is known;
one hears the chorus Of condemnation
on all sides. The effort of the per-
formers to answer to feeble call for
the curtain, excited the risibles as well
as the pity, Of all who were conversant
with American methods.
Accustomed to consider national af-
fairs with an eye gagged for long dis
tances as well as for microscopic in
vestigation, the newspaper writer Of the
national capital brings to his analysis
a familiarit with governmental
metods and results which gives to his
conclusion something of authority.
With these facts known the following
editorial from the Washington Star
will be read with interest:
1t appears from recent comments by
the Honolulu press that the Home Rule
party has disintegrated and Is no Ion
ger serious factor in the situation. But
unfortunately the freak session tended
as well to demoralize the Republican OPP
position. 50 that the adjournment of the
Legislature seems to have left chaotic
state of politics for the next campaign to
resolve into a Semblance Of order.
The mail dispatches announce that the
Governor refused to extend the regular
session of the Legislature, winch has
been utterly wasted on futile attempts
at bili-passing. The appropriations re-
main to be passed, and the Governor
may call an extra session for this specific
purpose later. The chief causeeof trouble
during the regular session was that each
member seemed to think the body had
been created solely to permit him to en-
act some nonsensical idea into law. Some
of the propositions, on which The Star
has already commented, were almost be-
yond credence. There was an inordinate
amount of wrangling over personalities,
whole days being consumed with debates
upon items of precedence while the
Royalists lost no opportunity to make
capital for the lost regime. On the
whole, however, the session was prob
ably a wholesome experience, for 1t at
least demonstrated that the unaided, un-
controlled native Hawaiians, spurred on
by ignorant demagogues, are not ready
to assume the responsibility Of legisla-
ton and government, and at the same
time 1t may have been a valuable object
lesson in showing what to avoid in the
drawing of party lines In future cam
paigns. It Is evident that the Home Rule
native party, unless 1t gains a leader Of
commanding force and determined pur-
pose, will never be dominant factor in
Hawaiian politics,

AALA PARK AND ITS NEEDS.

One Of the greatest needs Of all the
public breathing spaces is that for the
improvement of the Aala or River Park.
This plot of ground, eva Of Nuuanu
stream, since having been set aside by
the Legislature two years ago. has re-
ceived nothing in the way of improve
ment. 1t Is a desolate spot, its surface
now dust and now mud, and for the
purpose for which 1t was intended, as
useless as though it was not in exist
ence.
Since the destruction of the Royal
School buildings the old quarantine
warehouse has been utilized for the pu-
pills. 1t Is not an ideal school house.
rather mere makeshift It had to be
used and 1t will continue in service for
some time. Meanwhile the only play
ground offered to the children who are
instructed there is the waste which
was intended to he a park. In its dust
and mud they must play, for they can
not get their needed exercise in the
busy street. They ronp over its filthy
surface; the. wind sweeps its dust and
CRIME upon them, and they carry away
with them the germs of no one knows
how many ailments.
At the best this ,refuse-strewn stretch
Is unsightly; at the worst it is breed
Ing ground for disease. The sun bakes
Its surface and the wind distributes the
bacilli where 1t listeth, and no. one
knows the fruits OF such seed. This, too.
when the conditions might be remedied
so readily.
The assigned reason for failure to inn
prove the appearance of the park Is the
lack of appropriation. In the estimates
of the Governor, as submitted to the
Legislature. the appropriation appears
coupled with that for Makiki Park and
the addition of the word new the
amount set down at 5000.
But there Is way out of the diem
ma. plan which would mean the al
most immediate reclamation of the
waste. A dozen convicts might be
spared from the rock piles while the en-
tire open space was seeded to grass.
This might be done in sections, the part
Immediately under cultivation being
closed until the seed started and the
grass was In comparatively little dang
er of being trodden to death. Any plan
which would change this unsightly
spot to one which would offer green
grass for driving dust or malignant
mud would be more acceptable than
present conditions.

Motors for Farmers.

With reference to motors for rarm-
ers, a correspondent informs the Lon
don Daily Mail of a recently patented
Improvement in the construction of
self-propelled vehicles for heavy traffic
on common roads, by which it is un-
necessary to employ both motor and
trailer to carry six tons. BY this
new arrangement every axle is made to
be driving axle, and the motive
power does not interfere with the car
rying capacity of the van. This in
sures gain of power, grip and speed,
in addition to which the carrying ca
pacity of each pair Of wheels is great
ly increased, being practically ten tons,

ty there are many mills devoted ex-
clusively to grinding corn and making
corn flour. Within a few months a
big export trade has been started with
England, Germany, Holland, South At

that corn -four. which is mixed with
wheat -four in Europe, is deletorious.
This is erroneous. Corn flour is just
