THE BOOK CONTRACT.

In letter to the editor OF the Adver-
tiser, Prof. f. A, Hosmer, formerly
President of oahu College, says:
Your sharp words against the policy of
binding the public schools by contract to
any one publishing house, / most heart
lily second. The School Board of Ha-
wall should be free to purchase the best
books in the market without reference
to the publisher. When five years ago
this matter was before your board.
earnestly advised certain members
against the course they took and refused
to have oahu College and Punahou Pre-
paratory School thus bound. ! am conf
dent that the majority of the School
Board are against such n policy, and
now, after your editorials that the pub
lie will support them. You may have
cause, however, to fire another broad
side, as the matter is not yet settled.
1t was the supposed intention of the
friends of the existing contract to ask
the Legislature to authorize its renewal,
but if any request OF the kind was
made, 1t did not result in the passage
of a bill. A rumor reached this paper
some time ago, that, to avoid public
agitation and probable defeat of new
contract, the friends of the Book Trust
would simply let the old arrangement
run along. Under this the trust has a
virtual monopoly of supplying books to
the school department, making it i'm
possible to get the benefit of books pub
lished outside of the trust, no matter
how superior such books may be.

PROTECTION FORvCOFFEE.

The duty OF bringing before the pub
lie the desirability of placing pro-
tective duty on coffee so that this in
dustry can be conducted with profit in
the Hawaiian Islands, is one that the
Advertiser Is glad to assume.
There is no doubt that fine quality
OF coffee can be grown here, and the
lands best adapted TO its cultivation lie
above the sugar belt The
climate at this higher altitude Is the
finest I'm the world, and the work or
cultlvatlng coffee Is well suited 20 the
better agricultural classes OF the United
States.
II coffee were protected 20 the same
extent that sugar f.. large areas Of land
now useless would be brought under
cultivation, and the better class Of i'm
migrants would be drawn 90 the coun-
try. The established mercantile and
transportation interests would be slim
ulatedi Ia fact, the country would be
advanced IN wealth and prosperity
with the additional adYantaFe ~ am RE-
rlculturM resource other than sugar
and rice. Further, the cultivation of
ronre would lead % experiments in

And now the monkey wrench states
man accuses Governor Dole of having
permitted the Officers Club to exist
If the Governor pleads guilty we trust
he will have the mercy of the Home
Rule court in view of the other things
that have hourished under his eye
the Home Rule Legislature, for IN
stance. The Governor not only permit
ted that body to exist" but was IN
strumental in calling 1t together, ana
has stood supinely by while the major
ity of its members fuddled their wits
at the officers Club bar. Are the Home
Rulers so ungrateful that they VIII
pass resolutions against him on the
ground that he did not suppress them

Mr.. Emmeluth holds Governor Dole
responsible for the fact that the coun-
try has imported Asiatic labor for Its
plantations. He knows well enough
that such immigration began long be-
fore 1893, and that II continued by grace
of the Legislative bodies of Hawaii,
monarchical. provisional and republic
can. OF some OF these bodies Mr.. EN-
meluth was an active and not
tongue-tied member. Did he make any
effort to keep Aslatics from coming
here? Did he refuse, as a private en-
ployer, to accept their services? While
trying to become a planter did he offer
any objection, publicly or privately, TO
the prevalent type OF field laborer? Had
he managed 10 enroll himself among
the planters would Mr.. Emmeluth have
refused to employ japanese? The sim
pie truth about his attitude now Is that
he Is driven TO such sore straits for
points 10 make against the Governor
that he does not halt even at a kind
OF demaFogy that exposes itself and
which holds him up 90 the derision o.
fair-minded men. We begin 10 be sorry

The Board of Health cannot be made
self supporting while the lepers need
care. Leper expenses amount to an
enormous sum annually, and they must
be met by the Territory, which, II 1t
should surrender the settlement into
Federal hands, would incur the risk OF
having Molokai turned into national
lazaretto. There are, however, means
of revenue apart from direct appropria-
ton. Let garbage be collected on the
basis of a charge against the house
holder: let the use of the odorless en-
cavator be paid for by those whom 1t
benefits. We are told that an income
of $50, 900 per year might be had from
these sources. II so the plan is well
worth adoption; for this is time when
revenue from any legitimate quarter Is
welcome and Is needed.

1t appears that President Tucker OF
Amherst was misquoted In the pub
lished report of his remarks about the
attitude of Christian missionaries in
China. Instead OF charging mission
aries with breaking the laws of the
Gospel he indicted christian nations.
His exact language was as follows:
1.-The very nations which have sent
out apostles to preach the gospel have
shown that they have not learned how
to keep the Commandments. what
chance has the missionary in China
under the present ethics of Christen-
dom? the church has been set
back, nobody knows how long, by the
behavior of Christian nations in China.
And like result must follow in de-
gree everywhere whenever there is a
break between the faith and the morals
of Christendom."

The steady work of the labor organ
izers Is bringing all affiliated trades in
to single unions so that strikes may be
won almost before they begin. We
hear, for example, that the butchers
and the restaurant walters are COM
ing together at San Francisco and thai,
in case an eating house tries to run on
the non-union principle, the butchers
will refuse to fill orders for it, and the
delivery men will not take meat there.
This is but an example of what Is GO
ing on everywhere in the United States.
Take the Seamen's Union. 1t is now
reaching out for the freight clerks and
stevedores and everybody else con-
nected with the loading and unloading
of vessels. so that II its demands are
refused ships cannot be either moved
or prepared for moving. These condi-
lions are serious, but they are what
must follow or accompany the gigan-
tic consolidation of capital which Is al
so going on. When a billion dollar steel
trust is formed II is natural for the
workmen who make the steel and with
out whom the trust can do nothing, to
organize a union for their own de-
fence and 10 draw kindred workmen
into II. Before long capital and labor
will be solidly aligned against each
other. and II "A contest comes II will be
a battle OF the giants.

SCHOOLS
 REOPEN HAPPILY Thousands of Bright Faced Chil- dren Resume Their Stud
 ies-New Pupils.

Thousands of bright-faced and joyous children of Birmingham, brightest of an the jewels of the valley, returned to their books in the public schools yesterday morning and were gladly greeted by proud and happy teachers-proud to have such charges under their care and happy in the childrens gladness!
 "The children were all wonderfully bright and happy, and their cheerfulness after the holidays was very inspiring" said Super intendent Phillips last night.
 "The attendance at all the schools on the first day after the holidays was surpris- ingly large, and many new pupils were for the first time enrolled. I believe I never experienced a happier day in the schools. The children were all strong and refreshed and the teachers appeared to have enjoyed their brief rest greatly. The day in the schools was without special incident; but it was day to be remembered"
 It Is understood that the general health of the pupils of the public schools and the teachers alike is excellent, and the bright est and most encouraging condition mark the beginning of the school progress to the Junetime.

TRAFFIC RESUMED,
Some Fears of a Renewal of the 5cran ton Strike.

Scranton, Pa, December 31-Traffic was resumed on all the lines of the Scranton Railroad Company today in acco, dance with last nights compromise agreement, giving the employees an increase in wages. About 300 laborers were required to remove the obstruotons which strikers sympathizers had placed on the tracks all over the coun- trc.
 Some fears of a renewal of the strike are entertained as a result of the action today of General Manager Silliman in discharging Dispatcher Charles Powell, who refused to run a car during tine strike. The carmens eecutive committee, however, feel that their union is not warranted dn actively inrerfer- ring between the company and one of its officials.
