PUBLICITY FOR TRUSTS.

A list recently compiled shows that
there are existing in the United States
1893 trusts. or these $40 are what are
called natural or local trusts. The re-
naming 453 are all engaged in inter-
state trade and are subject to the super
visory control of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. Their total capt.
talization is 80 900. 900. 900. The entire
wealth of the United States according
to the provisional figures of the census
of 1900 Is 100000, 000,0 00 So the new de-
partment will be responsible for the
proper management of ten per cent. Of
the capital of the nation.
While old trusts are constantly being
dissolved or reorganized new ones are
being formed and the amount of money
and property placed in corporate or
ganization Is rapidly increasing. In
vestors and spectators are not confined
to Wall street. The rich, the poor, the
widow and the orphan, living in all the
different States of the Union have in
vested; and their combined holdings in
these concerns exceed those of the
execrated magnates who are the main
objects Of political Trades. The prob
abilities are that II the question was
put to a vote of the people, the over
whelming verdict would be in favor Of
corporations trusts and mergers. Ev-
erybody realizes that there must be
millonaires in successful industries
Just as there are presidents and kings
i'm governments. The sensible. ordinary
American does not wish to kill the ruler
or the capitalist but rather strives to
be one himself. The only purpose of
sane legislation is to assure a fair field
without favors to all that desire to
compete.
Great changes were not intended nor
are they promised by the Republican
party as a result of the antitrust laws
enacted by the last Congress. The re-
turns made by National banks and the
power exercised over them
by the bank examiners and auditor are
far more drastic and inquisitorial than
the provisions of these new statutes.
Many of the larger corporations are
avowed advocates of the principle of
publicity. If capital stock is all paid
In and business is profitable and sur
plus has accumulated, corporations as
n rule voluntarily publish these facts. |
1t is only the corporation with facts to
conceal which opposes publicity. The
that a body of men, though
ought to have the same
freedom as a private person in the /
transa teton of business, is based upon
an erroneous understanding of what a .
corpol q tion is. 1t is the creature of the /
State and the law which brings it into
existence and makes it possible for it to
place bonds and stocks upon the mar
<et, ought also to grant to the purchas-
NC Dublic the right to enquire into their
ialue and marketablity.

THE MAUNA LOA ERUPTION.

The Advertiser, since st. Pierre.
Martinique. was destroyed, has not
looked upon volcanoes. however tame
they may be- as a tourist asset. To
the vast majority of people a volcano
Is powder magazine which, after
lulling the neighbors into security,
blows up and kills them. Hence in
dealing with ours, through news letters
and in tourist literature, it is well to
respect this prejudice and to make it
clear that Mauna Loa is about $50
miles from Honolulu, divided from it
b. two large and two small islands and
that the whole trend of volcanic activ-
ity has been, for centuries, towards
the southeast away from and out of
sight and hearing the island upon
which Honolulu is situated.
Even upon the island which contains
Mauna Loa and its lower crater of
Kilauea, the danger is entirely differ
ent and much less serious in its char
aoter from that which destroyed St.
Pierre. Mont Pelee blew off its top
and precipitated n cloud of gaseous
vapor upon a nearby town. That
was because the cap of the mountain
was rigid and made resistance enough
to imprison the gases until their
strength became overwhelming. But on
Hawaii the burning mountain is por-
Gus and is supplied, in the ever open
vent of kilauea, with an escape valve
When a force reaches up from the
EnCeladus caverns, under Mauna Loa,
a mightier one than Kilauea can deal
with, it gently thrusts aside the soft
and loose strata far up on the shoulder
of the $4,000 feet mountain, and with
out uproar or CONFUSION, lets go a
stream of lava. There are no towns
and villages to be destroyed by the
flow and small danger to property,
save to isolated sheep and cattle
ranches.
In point of fact there is less peril
from earth's spasmodic forces here
than there is in California where i'm
prisoned gases are ever making earth
quakes. 1t is doubtful If Honolulu
has had an earthquake In n genera
ton which was perceptible to the
whole public and not a matter of dis
pute afterwards. In that time Cali
fornia has had some hundreds of lively
shakes. People living on this group
regard the volcano on Hawaii island
as their sure protection against seis-
mic danger and they would not have
it become extinct If they could. Well
for California If 1t had such a gas
chimney.

Call Out the Names.

Editor Advertiser: AS a frequent pa
iron of the electric car service, I would
suggest that the conductors call out
the names of streets on approaching
them, for the benefit of passengers.
Even to old residents, it is difficult at
night time to distinguish the different
streets and one is very liable to be
carried block or two past their des-
tination. This drawback applies with
more force in the case of comparative
strangers The custom is general in
many of the large cities on the main
land, and would serve an equally good
purpose here. Trusting that the COM
pany may introduce this much-needed
reform, l remain.
Yours truly,
CITIZEN.

JApAN'S GAME OF EXPANSION.

The impression brought back from the
Far East by Col. George w. MaCfarlane
that Japan was playing for Korea and
would willingly leave Manchuria to
Russia if given way and room in the
Hermit Kingdom, is borne out by such
news from the Russo-Japanese negotia-
ton as the cable is permitted to col
lect.
The other day it was stated that
Japan would send two regiments to
Korea to protect her interests" an
item which was followed by the official
statement from st. Petersburg that
Russia does not consider the Japanese
dispatch of troops an unfrendly act"
All this seems highly significant in
view of yesterdays news that Jap
anese fleet had arrived at one of the
Korean ports, and that negotiations are
in progress which will not only remove
the objections of Japan to Russia's con-
tinued presence in Manchuria but will
concede Japan n foothold in Korea"
No one need be surprised to hear that
the Japanese fleet has taken formal
possession of the Hermit Kingdom and
that Russia has served due notice
on the powers, copying Great Britain's
action in regard to Egypt, that she will
occupy Manchuria indefinitely

FERRIS SAVED
FROM GALLONS

Governor Dole yesterday announced
his decision to commute the death sem
tence of George e. Ferris, for the
murder of John Watson, to twenty
years Imprisonment.
Ferris was convicted last year and
sentenced by Judge Gear to be hanged.
C. r. Reynolds, who defended him on
the trial, started an appeal but after
ward left the Territory and f. C.
Peters handled the appeal until its
dismissal by the Supreme Court, which
affirmed the conviction and sentence.
\ few months ago r. V. Christian
son, an eye witness of the killing OF
Watson, who was not called in the
trial, came forward with statement
showing provocation given by the vic
tim and drunkenness on the part of
Ferris when the deed was done.
Attorney General Andrews, at the
instance of the Governor, investigated
Christianson's statement with rigor
like that shown in a regular trial.
When his report was rendered to the
Governor 1t was submitted to the eX-
ecutive council majority of which
decided that Christianson's evidence If
given at the trial, would not have
changed the verdict.
Governor Dole later obtained an
opinion from the Attorney General as
to his power to commute the sentence,
and this being to the effect that he
had such power the Governor took the
matter under his personal considera-
ton, yesterday deciding in favor of life
for Ferris as already stated. The
convicted man has failed greatly in
health during his long confinement,
and II was the OpiDiOn of visitors to
the prison that, unless his execution
was not much longer delayed, the ig-

THE PUBLIC EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

The reckless spirit with which pub
lie expenditures are urged in Hawaii
appears again through a comparison
between the cost OF various State and
Territorial buildings already provided
for at the Worlds Fair and the recon-
mendation lately made that this Ter
ritory should expend from $4,000 to
t22, 600 for a structure of its own. 1t
took hard work in and out of the press
to defeat this extravaganza, the enor-
nifty of which Is shown in the fact
that the entire st. Louis building fund
of New York--a state of six millions
of people, the richest one in the Union
and the richest non-independent SOW
ereignty in the world-amounts to
SIS 900 all told. For the State of Ne
vada $500 sufTices and for Arizona
$1,000. Hawaii. with n $1,000 propo-
sition would be doing very well IN
deed--a third as well as New York.
our harbor improvements will cost
great sums and yet they are no more
our pecuniary affair than the i'm
provements of the channel through the
Golden Gate and the bay beyond Is an
affair of San Francisco or California.
The harbors of the coast belong to the
United states and Congress is charged
with the care of them. And 1t Is so
with lighthouses. Nevertheless Ha-
wall assumes such expenditures with
free and easy grace, no matter
how large they are, and has entered
no complaint at Washington though
complete annexation is over three
years old.
Fellow citizens, considering that the
Treasury is not, precisely, at high
water mark isn't it time to get into
the habit of economizing and count
ing the cost?

Scientific men have long expected
that submarine volcanic activity would
yet build a new island somewhere off
Hawaii. probably in a south-easterly
direction from it, Such an island. If
given an open vent, would doubtless
draw the fire from the active volcanoes
on Hawaii just as those great furnaces,
cycles ago, extingutshed Haleakala on
Maui and as Haleakala in turn may
have supplanted the volcanoes on Oahu
and Kauai. On that account its APP
pearance would be a blessing to the
island OF Hawaii, which has no partic-
ular need OF an active volcano in its
business.

MORE SEA ACCOMMODATIONS.

The news that the steamers Gaelic,
Doric and Coptic are to be taken off
the TRANSATLANTIC run and replaced by
liners flying the American flag is high
ly satisfactory to Honolulu.
Not that there is anything the matter
with the White Star steamers in the
speed and comforts they provide, but
that, as British vessels, they are sub
tracted from the sum of our ferry facil-
tiles between here and San Francisco.
They cannot do business between two
American ports.
With American liners instead there
will not only be travel room enough for
Honolulu travellers but for tourists.
Just now the best accommodations are
crowded. More steamers are needed for
our convenience and 1t Is gratifying to
know that we are going to get them.

The other day as the President
mounted the side of a ship the wind
blew his coat-skirts aside and showed
the handle of SS-calibre revolver pro-
truding from his hip pocket. Southern

challenged. AS TO the need of 1t the
fact must not be forgotten that the

much danger, usually, as a soldier in

been murdered had men near by who
were charged with his care but were
unable to help him when the crisis
came.

SOAP BOILER AND MONT BLANC.
The latest failure to ascend Mont
Blanc is interesting. The heroes of the
story are German students with whom

and they called upon a Berlin soap
boiler to make a proposal. If he, on his
part. would finance the expedition. they,
on theirs, would placard the mountain
from base to summit with the posters
with which he advertised his wares.
The soap boiler liked the idea, and the
bargain was duly struck. Happily,
however, the communal authorities at
Chamonix got wind of the proposal,
and the German students are now on
their way, leaving trunk full of con-
hscated posters behind them.

Gov. Taft keeps his health and finds his
duties in the Philippines to his tastes the

said that the country thinks with the
