The report received from experts by
Dr. Jared Smith ON cottons grown at
the local experiment station are inter.
esting in that it shows the great posi-.
bilities for the industry in the Islands,
Previous experiments have shown,
however, that the cotton giving most
promise of success here is the straight
Sea Island. Samples of this cotton
sent from Honolulu to Liverpool, AM
sterdam, to various manufacturing
centers in the United States and to
Japan some years ago were pro-
nounced of superior quality, super
ior, in fact, to the Georgia and Flor
ida product eUplands cotton raised
here grades about the same as the
same product OF the mainland as to
fineness and strength of fiber, though
greater length can be obtained In
the Islands. For some cause hard to
determine at this time. theEgyptian
cotton loses its finepsss of fiber and
staple here. OF at least dozen var
ieties of cotton tried here in the past
few years, the Sea Island has proved
the best, and, in fact, Hawaii seems
to be a natural homef or it.

Four citizens having property in a

which is seldom used except on Sun.
days, have signed a petition to the
Board Of Public Works for at least
three large lights in their alley, Two
of the men, Mr.. Dole and Sam Parker,
seldom occupy their Diamond Head
residences, and the latter does not
need the lights anyway as his house
fronts on the illumination provided in
the park by the Rapid Transit Com
pany. There are in town many dark
places that require lights thousand
times more. Attention has already
been called to the dark corner of
Queen and Richards streets, which is
now being used nightly by sailors from
the visiting feet and has to be used
frequently by soldiers and passengers.
Kamehameha w Road and Kalihi road
are both in darkness, yet both are
thickly inhabited while the residents
Of the Diamond Head district referred
to can be counted on the fingers of
ones hands.

serve the purpose, but in most smile,
a hearty hand-shake and kind word
may be all that is required to tighten
the heart. In Honolulu we are handi-

CHRISTMAS.

Tomorrow will be Christmas, the
day of days to children and most
grown-up folk The day has signi-
cence all its own, and that Significance
manifests itself in every land in which
the name and words and works of the
Man of Nazareth are known. To the
child and youth 1t Is the one day upon
which the eye is fixed for twelve
months; 1t is enjoyed to the full when
1t arrives, and the grief over its de-
parture is appeased only by the joy
it leaves behind. To the older folk 1t
brings memories of the sweetest and
most lasting kind. 1t takes man and
woman alike, back to the morning of
life-to the snowy fields, barren trees
creaking in the ice-laden winds, the
sleighs. big New England dinner and
the old house party; to similar scenes
and experiences in England and Ger
many; or to the green hills, the shad-
ows of the palms, the scented valleys,
the music, the flowers the songs, the
leis the presents, the Christmas tree
and the thousand other things of Ha-
wall. 1t is a day Of joy and gladness;
a day of happiness and of making
others happy.

The Jones case is plain one to any
body that will stop to think and will
listen to reason. AS in all cases the
jury was instructed to deliberate
strictly upon the evidence. The jury
was one satisfactory to both sides and
each man had declared himself to be
wholly unbiased The prosecuting at.
torneys failed, however to present
such evidence as convinced them be-
yond reasonable doubt that Jones
shot and killed Mrs, Parmenter. A
doubt was left. However positive The
Independent along with many people
in the community may feel that Jones
committed the crime, we are not the
jury and the fact that Jones Is the
murderer was not shown to the jury.
Had the Legislature intended that
the bonds of the assessor of Oahu
should be 100000 it would have said

first year to 100000 intending that aft
er that the bonds should be arranged
upon a basis Of the sums passing
through his hands. 1t was not necessary
nor business for Assessor Pratt to have
had as much as 100000 in his hands
at any one time in November of this
year The amount should never have
been allowed to run over $4,000. or,

TOPICS OR THR DAY.

The scheme of asking the central
government to take over and operate
the leper settlement as national
charge is grave question, but there
are good points on both sides. There
would certainly be an immense saving
to the Territory, and the unfortunates
at the settlement would be better cared
for, for the first reason that where
Hawaii is able to spend dollars the
United States would spend hundreds.
We admit that the lights asked for
by Judge Dole, Sam Parker and 9TH
ers on the Diamond Head road are
badly needed, but they are not so
much required as are lights in other
parts of the city. Any man acquaint
ed with the town at all can think of
several populous centers without
lights The Diamond Head locality re-
ferred to is occupied by only few res.
idents and few summer homes. Is it
right to keep important residence sec
tions in darkness while an out-of-the-
way, country road is supplied with
lights to humor few OF the "elect" of
the family compact?
