MAY ESTABLISH
BRANCH HOUSE

F. H. Johnson, representing the big
packing firm of Frye, Bruhne & Co., of
Seattle, is in town looking over the
ground 10 determine whether or not
his company will establish a branch
house in Honolulu. Mr.. johnson has
been here about three weeks, and has
not fully made up his mind as to what
course he will recommend to his firm.
Inc firm made its entry in Honolulu
business by the shipment of packing
house goods ON the Tampico The re-
frigerator department of this vessel has
proven so capable of preserving meats
that all their shipments have arrived
here in first-class condition, and this
caused the firm to send Mr.. johnson
to personally look into requirements
here for packing house goods.
Should Mr.. Johnson take a favorable
view of the situation a small branch
house may be opened. Otherwise, their
business may be handled by F. L. Wal
dron, the commission broker.

DEATH IN CHINESE GIFTS.

Last winter, during the Chinese New
Year, a case of contagious disease,
which need not be diagnosed here, re-
suited in the death of Miss Desha, a
pupil at the Kawaiahao Seminary.
Nothing was said about it in print at
tbs, time but the circumstances were
such as to warrant public reference to
it now.
In following up the chain of infec-
ton it appeared that the girl had eaten
Chinese sweetmeats, which had been
distributed by Oriental employees of the
Seminary as is the custom at the New
Year season. These "dainties,'' which
were originally packed in some dirty
place in Canton, Hongkong or Shanghai
and then sent to a purlieu of our own
Chinatown, carried the germs of one of
the most dreaded of Oriental diseases.
How many lives beside that of the
little Desha girl have been sacrificed
to the hospitable customs of Konahi,
the Advertiser has no means of know
ing; but there was at least one other
last year.
In self-defence, the people of this city
should decline gifts of food or sweets
from Chinatown during the coming
celebration.

This is said to have been done to save

the ranks Of General and Admiral are

given flag rank because of his success
as a General of Cavalry in Manchuria-

LEpERs AND TRANSPORTATION LINES

The land and ocean transportation
lines have an interest in defeating the
bill for the deportation of mainland
Iepers to Hawaii.
Tourists and other travellers are not
likely to choose the vessels of line
known to be in the lazaretto business.
Nor are people willing to travel on rail-
roads which convey persons suffering
from infectious or contagious diseases
1t is possible that, as common carriers,
the lines could be compelled to
accept such passengers so, in their own
defence, it would be wise in them to
urge their friends at Washington TO
secure the defeat of any measure based
on the leper recommendations of the
Mitchell Commission.

AID FOR HAWAIIAN COFFEE.

If Congress grants bounty Of foul
cents, or even of two cents on Hawai-
ian-grown coffee, an industry which
started fairly but has been languishins
for years, will receive a special i'm
petus. That Hawaii can grow super
Tor coffee in many, if not all Of its
shaded upland districts. has been prov
ed over and over again. AT present ii
is exporting a small but excellent crop.
The trouble with the business, however,
exemplifies the damage which can be
e visited upon any agricultural industry
of the United States by a policy Of free
trade in farm products and which is es-
pecially severe upon small agricultural
undertakings. Coffee enters the United
States without duty and as a result the
prosperity and development of this
American Territory are deeply affected.
The mainland farmer of any State or
Territory has protection for his corn,
wheat, vegetables, fruit, timber, eggs,
cider, wine, live stock and everything
else he raises; why then, should the
farmer of this outlying Territory be de-
prived Of the same or a similar safe
guard? The only answer is that it
would be asking too much to tax every
breakfast table in the United States
for the benefit of a few coffee growers
in Hawaii. But such things have been
done for an hundred infant industries
with a view of aiding in their growth
and making the country self-support- /
ing. Protection was not devised to add
to the profits of great established in
dustries, but to build up small ones into
gigantic elements of national strength. !
Here in Hawaii is a small one which
carries the potential germ of growth. .
Have we not the right to ask that it be
nourished and conserved as other such !
industries are?
The next best thing to direct protec-
ton Is a bounty, and for this Hawaii
is now working with Senatorial as
sistance. BY granting it Congress will
not make a dear breakfast table; it
will help make Hawaii the abode of an
American middle class; it will violate
no precedent. Bounties have. within a
few years past, been granted to beet
sugar growers and even to maple sugar
growers. A pending bill would grant
them to American-bu ships. The
principle is thoroughly national; and
it's application should not be restricted
to one kind of a useful small industry
over another kind.

A GENERAL STAFF.

The use of a general staff such as is
provided for in the bill which has just
passed the House, is to modernize an
army and make it thoroughly efficient.
II the present measure becomes a law
the President will be able TO choose
the ablest soldier in the service as chief
Of staff, who will exercise the highest
military authority next to that of the
| Executive His relation to the Presi-
/ dent will be like that of Won Moltke TO
the King of Prussia in the Franco-Ger-
man war. At present seniority brings
| the highest command with the result
that a man who has kept himself alive
and well longest in the service gains
responsibility which ought, for the good
| of the country, to be vested in younger
and ADLER men. Under the proposed
new system the President has, at his
immediate disposal, the best talent of
the army. 1t is an advantage the coun-
try would appreciate in case of war es-
peciaIly at a time when. under senior
ity, the command would automatically
go to DR.. Leonard Wood of Santiago or
TO General Funston of Kansas.
Another useful change viii be the
requirement of a group of the ablest
officers who viii have nothing else to
do than to work out problems of Of
fence and defence. The German staff
is so highly organized that it would
know precisely what to do if war should
break out tomorrow in totally unex-
pected quarter 1t is related as an his
toricaI fact that when an aide awoke
Won Moltke and told him that France
had declared war, he merely said:
Take the third portfolio to the left"
he turned over and again
went to sleep. The portfolio, prepared
years before and revised from time to
time, contained minute directions, with
orders properly signed, for the invasion
of France. The next day the Prussian
armies began to move. Had the attack
come from Russia or Austria or from {
any non-contiguous power, some other {
portfolio would have been ready with
the necessary orders and instructions. '
1t is to secure a state of military I
like this that the general
staff bill was formulated. That thel |
measure will become a law may be in
TERED from the fact of it's passage in
The lower House where opposition was
more likely to arise than in the Senate.

Mexico, by letting Chinese into Lower
California so that they can smuggle
San Diego line-an industry which is
said to be profitable to Mexican officials
is getting payment in the coin of dis
ease. The bubonic plague has now ap-
peared in Ensenada and if care is not
taken it may spread among the poems

little seaport and even invade the Mex
lean mainland.
