The saloon smashing agitation
started by Mrs. Carrie Nation is
sweeping over Kansas like an epi-
demic. Many communities are be-
ing shaken by this excitement, and
serious results are probable. The
ludicrous and humorous side OF th'
affair has been caricature1 by artist,
and photographers, but the serious
side remains yet untouched. And
what that will be is an unsolved
problem. The people have it in their
power to crush out saloons, but
whether the intense flame now burn
ing will soon destroy itself can only
be guessed at People often become
aroused over one thing o: another,
but soon relapse into quiet indit-
ference, induced largely by the press

The very much dreaded disease Of

crops would scarcely justify separate and
distinct shipments.
How best to follow in well-trodden
footsteps is question that requires
careful consideration by those most in
terested: still. perhaps, some good may
arise by opening the ball with the sug-
gestions OF an outsider. In the hope
that such may be the case, the following
IDEAS are submitted:
Create a curing and shipping estab-
lishment. Let all coffee be bulked on
arrival, for preparation and shipment. ex-
cept that which may be sold locally.
On delivery. the establishment should
be In a position to pay the consignor "A
certain sum. even though 1t be but a
small one-for the quantity of coffee
sent; this would keep the now threaten
ing wolf from the door!
| Periodically-say after each seasons
crop had been disposed Of, the books of
the establishment would be made up, and
the proceeds of all sales, after deduct
ing expenses for curing, etc, be divided
pro rata amongst the consignors, accord
ing to the amount of parchment sent
in by each.
| Such an establishment would not be a
costly affair; probably not beyond the
compass of the planters themselves, If
they all join in. ten-foot diameter
Peeler eight horsepower, with a capac-
ity of thirteen hundredweights of cof-
fee per hour, costs $3.50 in Colombo: a
winnower and sizer of the same capacity
$3.50.
The advantages OF central curing es-
adjustment are patent that they
scarcely need demonstration. Less labor
would be required on the estates-a great
consideraton-and the proprietor, or
manager, would be spared the time and
trouble that he has now to devote to the
preparation OF his crops.
Should the planters themselves not be
in position to finance this suggested
establishment, surely the sugar industry
does not absorb all the enterprise and
capital in the Territory!
With the planters cooperation, "a CEN
trail coffee-curing establishment could be
worked on private lines to the benefit of
both parties.
The suggestions are but in a crude
form; they may, however, be basis for
II perfect system of cooperation amongst
the members of the planting community.
! 1t may be well to add that the
fact of producing a good sample of cof-
fee does not necessarily mean selling 1t
right off the reel. Money will have to
be spent in advertising and in paying

lon planters spend thousands of pounds

for the entertainment of guests far in
excess of the last one given. The

to bring donations of freight from the

freight will consist of pigs, chickens,
potatoes and all the edibles that go to
the making of an Hawaiian luau.
Promises of provisions have been made
by a large number of Honolulans and
the ladies in charge If the affair feel
much gratified at the outlook.
1t is expected that the Shriners from
the Eastern states will be in Honolulu
about the time the luau is given and
that they will attend in large numbers.
There will be tables for the native luau
and also foreign" tables supplied with
edibles acceptable to the palates of those
who are not accustomed to the native

There will be fancy articles, Hawaii

Interesting Insurance Case.

In December last James G. Pearson
of Boston applied in that city to a
prominent insurance company of New
York for a policy of 5000, satisfy
ing the company's strict physical and
financial requirements for a policy so
unusual in size. For a time the COM
pany retained the policy, the first
premium not being paid until January
S. when Il Boston lawyer transacted
the business in New York. At that
time no steps We're apparently taken
toward ascertaining Mr.. Pearson's
state of health on the second day
afterward the company was notified
that Mr. Pearson had died on that day
in a Boston hospital having been op-
Grated on for appendicitis two days
before, or the day on which the policy
was taken up by his agent The COM
pany refused payment on the ground
that Mr., Pearson was mortally i'll
when the policy was delivered, and 1t
was therefore imperative, the appliCa-
tion for insurance containing the pro-
/ vision that the contract shall nol
| take effect until the first premium
shall have been paid during my CON
/ tinuance in good health" The counter
claim is made by Mr.. Pearson's heirs
that the company, having delivered
the policy and accepted the premium
accepted the liability as well, ami alsC
that 1t was not certain when the
premium was paid that Mr.. Pearson
had appendicitis. The original appli-
cation for insurance seems to have
been made in entire good faith.

The interesting action in the Interna-

rather the lack of inducement, TO
