GET COINCIDENCE.

after, it sometimes seeks the proper
and capable man, instead Of the man
seeking it,
1t is to this position we have now
come To restore confidence we must
have a citizen as Treasurer who vii.
command confidence. Such man must
be sought among the business men Of
the community. We have many men
with the requisite attributes both Of
ability integrity, honor and wealth,
but the question is which of them will
be patriotic enough to serve, 1t is not
the lack of the material, but it is the
lf-dihidence, and the fear of adverse
criticism, as well as the hesitancy
about leaving private affairs under less
competent management that makes
men chary of doing their bounden duty.
In looking round, no man more thor
oughly fulflls the requirements of
Treasurer than +. w. MaCfarlane. He
has the confidence, the entire and con =
plete confidence, of his fellow citizens.
There are other gentlemen who might
fill the Freasurership. as ably as Mr..
Macfarlane, but there is no one who
would command the united confidence
of the community as he does. That he
would be pleasing himself. were he to
take the position, is undoubtedly not a
fact Mr.. Macfarlane would have to
make many sacrifices in order to do his
duty. But when duty calls he should
make those sacrifices, however har6
and unpleasant they may be.
In the present situation it is not a
party matter which is under consider
alton l. is a question of restoration
of conf lence. The defalcations which
have occurred have shaken confidence
and we must have some one in charge
of the Territorial finances who is of
such a character that he can complete
" restore confidence. Mr.. Macfarlane
especially unites in himself the attri-
butes which are calculated to bring
about thorough and complete conf
dance. He has been remarkably sue
cessful in business, and yet he has
been most conservative. He is one of
our leading men IN financial thought.
He is a most able organizer, and his
power os work and influence over 9TH
er minds has been shown by the man
ncr in which he handled the fire claims
matter. He is acceptable, moreover, to
all classes. He is a son of the soil, who
has spent his life in the Territory. He
is married to one of the most promin-
ent and most charitable of our Hawaii
an ladies'. But whatever social, racial.
and other qualities he may possess are
all overshadowed by the one great
quality, confidence. 1t is Mr.. Macfar-
lanes duty as a citizen and as a son
of the soil, to sacrifice his own COM
fort and his own ease, to restore the
confidence in Territorial finance, and
his presence at the Treasury would do
so.

The defalcations of the two Wrights
in the Executive building and of Wal
ter Wright on Kauai has shaken con-
fidence from one end of the Islands to
the other. That they should have oc-
Cured without the knowledge OF the
Auditor seems very remarkable. b.
II. Wright's trial will bring out much
which cannot be understood now, or
which can only be surmized. The case
against William Wright seems to grow
darker and more ineXplicable. 1t was
thought that he had been tempted to
use the public, funds in his hands in
order to assist his brother in extricat-
ing himself from his trouble. But he
did nothing of the kind. Mr.. Conant,
the tax assessor in chief Of his district,
as soon as he heard of the Treasurer S
flight Immediately cdme up to Homo
lulu to announce the delinquency OF
Walter Wright. whose shortage the eX-
Treasurer had agreed to pay, but had
not, while some six hundred dollars
which had been received by him on ac-
count of his brother, had never been
turned in.
In such a condition of affairs it is
absolutely necessary to restore conf
dence, and that can only be gained by
putting a man in the Treasury in
whom the public have absolute conf
dence. The present plan of having a
locum tenens in is only a makeshift,
and cannot he continued for any length
of time. The Treasury Department
needs man who can give his entire
thought to it, and must be a man OF
wide and accurate business training.
As matters stand today, especially
should the Treasurer be a man Of es-
tate to whom the mere salary Of the
department is no consideration OF at
least of secondary consideration. The
reply is that few if any men of expert
ence in financial affairs would care to
burden themselves with what must
prove a thankless task. The position,
as far as salary is concerned, may be
an attraction to either second rate
men, or to men of broken fortune, but
to the successful man the salary has
absolutely no temptation. This may be
true, and yet we want and must have
"A first rate man.
The citizens of a Territory or a State

That is why men take so much interest
in elections, and urge the success Of
their candidates, while they supply the
sinews of war, in the shape of cam
paign funds. But there comes a time
when personal work is required, when
the work cannot be delegated to 9TH
ers, and when the call of duty to his
fellow citizens must find some promin-
ent man, who will take up a burden
which may be irksome, bu. which must
be carried for the good of all. Politi-

SUGAR PROSPECTS.

Writing in August, Consul-General
Mason of Berlin foreshadowed the
present great shortage in sugar and
he came very near the actual truth
He calculated the whole beet sugar out
put of Europe as between 6,56O,OOO and
the weather in late August and early
September, until the beets were gath
cred, should be sufficiently warm and
bright to develop in the growing beets
the normal percentage of sacharine
matter. If this did not prove the case
the consul-general foresaw a falling off
of ten, fifteen and even twenty per cent
This is just what happened A falling
off of twenty per cent upon the esti-
mate of 6,5600O tons would be a re-
duction of 100000 tons. The actual
falling off is given by LIGHT, the great
sugar statistician, at 100000 tons. This
shortage will eat up the surplus stock
of beet sugar and still draw largely up
on the cane growing countries, and it Is
this which makes our prospects 50
good
We We're only saved, practically, by
the lack of a few weeks of warmth and
sunshine. On August q of this year
the promise was that the beet crop
would be the largest on record in pro-
portion to the area of cultivation. The
month of September swept these hopes

completely away. Had there been a
phenomenal beet crop, this together
with the large surplus that was on hand
would have fairly swamped the sugar
market, and we should have continued
to suffer depression. People have been
apt to think that local conditions have
brought about the depression in sugar.
Local conditions had nothing to do with
it. The beet sugar crop of Europe,
however has had everything to do with
it.
1t is a curious thing that the great
beet sugar producing countries consume
very little of their own crop. The con-
sumption of sugar per capita in Ger
many, is only 2S lbs, and in Austria
17.6 lbs, which are both meager and
insignificant when compared with the
per capita rate of consumption in Great
Britain and the United States. The

tenn has been to tax sugar out of the

ing classes in Europe, and the two most
important results aimed at by the
Brussels conference were to repeal the
cause of countervailing duties and to
reduce the retail price of home grown
sugar in the European markets. The
sugar markets of the world are going
to be in favor of the cane producer for
some time to come.

BOATS BURN AT WAYzATA
Park Board Boats Narrowly Escaped
Destruction, Being Shipped
just Before the Fire.

The Moore boat works, including the
main factory and lumber warehouse,
which were burned yesterday at Wayzata,
will be rebuilt on the old site as soon as
the losses can be adjusted. The new
structure will be go feet wide, 12O feet
long, and two or three stories high. Work
will probably begin next week.
OF the four launches which were saved,
three were under construction for A. S.
Brooks, E. N. Osborne and J. E. Nichols
Of Minneapolis, the fourth being a stock
boat. Ten sail boats, also under con-
struction, were saved, and ten rowboats.
Eighty rowboats stored in the third
story, were destroyed. Part Of these
were stock boats, but most Of them were
being built on an order from the Twin
City Rapid Transit company. The day
previous to the fire about 81, 900 worth Of
rowboats were delivered to the park
board Of Minneapolis, the ten saved be-
ing the remainder of their order.
The total loss is about $1,000, about half
of which is covered by insurance. John
Anderson's loss on barn and icehouse is
fully covered by insurance.
Great credit is due the volunteer fire
department. The fire had gained such
Roadway before the alarm was given that
no attempt was made to save the shop,
the hose being played on the group of
buildings just north of the factory.
August Strands residence, next to the
fire, was at one time a ,nass of flames,
and it seemed certain the fire would get
beyond control, but 1t was finally sub
dued after hard fight. Had the fire got
ten beyond control, the entire group Of
buildings to the north, consisting Of three
houses, two barns and Moore's main
warehouse, would have burned. The lat
ter contained craft Of various kinds
valued at 100000.

new FEATURES IN GAs0-
LINE ENGINES.

The White Gasoline Engine has re-
Gently adopted number Of new features
which add greatly to its attractiveness
for the average launch owner. A new
device for timing the ignition enables the
operator to control the speed Of his boat
by merely throwing lever. This lever
times the explosion in such a way as to
get either full power or only part of
it out of the engine. thus controlling the
speed Of the boat without reversing the
propeller.
A second Improvement is the use of a
glass feed cup in place of the old brass
style. This allows the operator to see
at glance If his gasoline is in proper
condition and makes 1t possible for a
novice to. run the engine without the
slightest trouble. We speak especially
Of the improvements to marine engines,
because the owner of launch is not, as
a rule, an experienced engineer and must
have an engine which Is simple in con-
struction and easy to handle. This engine
is manufactured by the Globe Iron Works,

MISS BENFEY'S SUCCESS
Many Distinguished Persons Have
Commended Her Art


Miss Ida Bentley, the delightful story
teller, who is to appear in the Y. M. C. A.
popular entertainment course, Wednes-
day evening, has had remarkably sue
cessful career. She has enjoyed season
in london, reeiting at Stafford House
and Grosvenor House and having In her
audience the Princess Christian, the Prin-
cess Of Wales, the Duchess Of Teck, Mrs.
Ronalds and other distinguished English
women.
Many distinguished persons have paid
splendid tributes to her talents. Miss
Mary e., Wilkins says that she Is deeply
grateful to Miss Bentley for her marvel
.ously faithful Interpretation Of the
formers New England characters. Joseph
chamberlain, late president Of Bowdoin
college, declares that her conception of
the meaning and spirit Of a composition
is profound. Mark Bailey Of the chair
OF elocution at Yale, says that her re-
citals are unique and well-nigh IDEAL.
The uniqueness consists In the presenta-
ton Of condensed long stories, so to
speak. For instance, Wednesday evening
Miss Bentley will take Adam Bede,"
George Eliot's masterpiece, and present
1t to her audience in essence by means
of selected passages It may be added
that she will also treat her auditors to

Professor J. F. e. Woodbridge gave the
third of his series of lectures on "Psy-

course last night at Stanley Hall. His
subject was "Psychical Elements" It
was shown that they consist of va
riety of different sensations, outnunber-
ing those through the traditional five
senses and that the psychologist aims to
analyze all the complex mental processes
into these elements. Sensations have such
common characteristics as quality, in
tensity, space and time and are accom-
panied with feelings Of pleasure or pain.
The great difference between individuals
as to sensations and perceptions was
pointed out, indicating that the world APP
