CASTOR BEAN POSSIBlLISlES.

A castor bean oil-maker on this ISL
and is authority for the statement that
s192 spent for labor on a ten acre tract
of land will produce 5000 worth of
beans. That is to say, Jap at SIG per
month can do all the labor required in
planting the seed and harvesting the
crop The product sells for cash,
through Hackfeld e Co., at $50 ton.
Such a business as that would make
an Eastern small farmer stare. We
have known many one who regarded
$1,000 and fair living, as sufficient in
come from a 200-acre farm. Some
farmers back East can't even make the
living and finally abandon their home
steads altogether. Yet here is a shrub,
which grows like lantana and yields
like it, which supplies more profitable
crop to the tiller of the soil than al
most any other known to agriculture
not excepting sugar in its best days.
1t looks as IL the castor bean had been
neglected to the detriment of our pros
perity. There are thousands of acres,
now covered with lantana, which might
be made to carry this oil-bearing plant;
which might better be forced to yield
castor berries at $50 ton than to main
tain a jungle which costs $50 per acre
to clear away. Hawaii has great cattle
ranges where it takes ten acres
to support one head of stock; yet these
same ten acres, If put into castor beans,
might easily yield the value of ten or
eleven good cows.
Between castor beans, sisal, vanilla,
bananas, pineapples and tobacco, who
says that the Hawaiian small farmer
has no chance?

LYNCnlNG AND LAW.

Lynching, with the adjuncts OF fire
and mutilation, is becoming almost as
common In the North as In the South.
The affairs at Versailles, Ind, and
Urbana, o., few years ago have been
copied since in several northern towns
with signs OF growing ferocity and
barbarism on the part of the mob II
is getting so that the crime of rape is
not the only one visited by torture; for
at Danville, ILL.,, the other day negro
who had fired on lawless mob whlch
was on its way to lvnch a man of his
race, was lynched, mutilated and burn
ed because his shot went home.
1t cannot be said that the average
American mob is made UP of the worst
and most ignorant classes-far from IL.
Mobs in the South are usually credlteh
with quorum of respectable clti-
zens:" and those in the North are maze
up from the men you see passing in the
streets-men who were educated In the
schools and trained in moral families.
We saw some of them in Honolulu one
time when the cry went around to get
a rope for Moreno. What Is 1t that
turns such people into wild beasts when
they get n chance to lay hands on a
man who has violated in some heinous
way, the safeguards of society? why
Is 1t that they no longer leave culprits
to the law? Is 1t not because the law
has been so emasculated that 1t Is
easier for n criminal to escape adequate
punishment than 1t Is to visit him with
It? The truth is that our whole system
of criminal Jurisprudence is constructed
on the theory that it is the duty of So
ciety to make 1t as difficult as possible
to convict criminals. Finding that SO
many murderers and rape-fends es-
cape on technicalities the people are
taking the law into their own hands.
How far they are doing it may be seen
from the following tabulated state
ments OF lynchings between 1885 and
1gO1.

WHAT TRADE GETS FROM TOURISTS.

In Mr.. f.. p. Dole's letter, published
elsewhere in these columns, he speaks
of tourist travel as a thing that would
revive every line of business not de-
pendent for existence on distant mar
kets." The Advertiser is not sure that
would 1t not benefit every enterprise
which is in the market with its stock
or bonds to have wealthy men come
here and see the securities offered at
first hand? That is the experience of
Southern California and the Sound
country; and we have no reason to
doubt that 1t would be our experience.
1t has been estimated that sixty per
cent of the money put into old and
during the past ten years came from
tourists who went there to see and re-
manned to invest. Much of the remain
der came through them or because of
their presence. This money went into
agriculture, buildings, railroads, whole
sale and retail business and odds and
ends. Everybody benefited by 1t d.
rectly or indirectly. 1t represented pop
ulation, trade, investment, enterprise
everything that goes to make pro-
gressive country.
In the past we have had tourists from
whom these effects have not accrued
In a like ratio with Southern Califor-
MIA, but that is because Q) Hawaii was
foreign country; (2) The way OF
getting here was difficult; (9 There
was no cable communication with the
Coast; a. Frequent revolutions made
values unstable: (5) There was close
corporation in business. Now Hawaii
is a part of the United States: first
class steamers connect with 1t: the ca
BILE is In operation: the era of revolu'
lions has ended: the road into business
has been broadened and smoothed OFF
and as a result. II the tourist trade IL
again secured, the effect should be thu
same as 1t is In Mainland pleasure re
1
sorts.
There is nothing Hawaii has to sci
which yields greater returns on thu
capital invested than what tourists
come primarily to buy. They come fo
climate, scenery and rest, a stock II
trade which costs us nothing, which
tourists pay we'll for and which the,
cannot take away when they have dom
with 1t and which can be sold again
on the same terms indefinitely. Nov
when tourists not only buy climate
scenery and rest, but invest in all man
ner of securities, as many of them do
the more Hawaii cultivates their favo
the more It shows good business judg
ment.
In a large tourist trade there Il
recuperation for every money-makini
interest We have. Even sugar stocks
would gain by 1t.

THE MERCHANTS AND POLITICS.

1.-THE oficial and Commercial Recordl
The Mercantile Associations of Homo
lulu are to be congratulated upon the
good work which has been accomplish
ed looking toward the advertising OF
the Islands and the care OF tourists. The
work has only just begun however, and
should be steadily pressed. II the re-
suits hoped for are to be realized. There
are many other directions in which the
influence of the Associations can be
beneflcially exercised. The coming
county elections will be of vital inter-
est TO the merchants OF Honolulu. The
county authorities can do much to
make or mar the fortunes of the local
business men, and there will therefore
be strong temptation held out to the
chants Association to take an active
part in selecting and electing a ticket
The Record sincerely hopes that this
temptation will be resisted, and that
they will remain what they have been
In the political bodies, deal
ing with questions of interest to the
business community, purely from the
civil side. AS long as this Is done they
can appear before legislatures and
county supervisors and be in a strong
position to obtain by argument and
presentation of facts, what they want.
For example. they obtained good re-
suits through their efforts with
the legislature, which was anything
but friendly disposed to the poltical
views of n majority of the members of
the Mercantile Associations. Cham
Der of Commerce which has actively
declared and worked for a Republican
ticket will receive but scant hearing be-
fore a Home Rule Board of Supervis-
ors, If such should be elected where
as a non-poitical Chamber of Com
merce, even though the majority of its
members may be ardent republicans,
will be in a far stronger position to
exercise it's influence.
There are political organizations,
formed expressly for the purpose of
forwarding political views. Any MEM
Der of the Chamber of Commerce or the
Merchants Association can find full
scope for the expression of his political
desires and preferences through these
organizations, or he can form new
party, or get up an Independent ticket.
The best results can be obtained by let
ting political organizations manage the
political part of local interests, and
confine the Mercantile organizations,
as organizations, to the forwarding of
the civil, non-political interests of the
community.

MACON AND DAVIS.

II has come at last. Yesterday j. "A.
Magoon and George A. Davis were
cited to appear before the Supreme
Court to answer the charges maze by
John X. Sumner in the Advertiser ana
formulated under direction of the Su-
preme Court, by the Attorney-General.
They are summoned to explain alleged
unprofessional and fraudulent conduct
toward a client.
George A. Davis, in n grandstand
play against the Attorney-General, as
sumes that the latter is his accuser'
But this is a confusion of persons. MT.
Dayis's accuser Is John X. Sumner I:
the officials who called for the investi-
cation are the judges of the Supreme
Court; the Attorney General, as the
Iaw-officer of the Territory. has simply
carried out the courts directions. AS
TO this the issue cannot be clouded even
though Davis, in his rage, showers pa
per petitions by the square mile and
raises a dust of accusation against
other people all the way from Diamond
Head to Waialua. AS to the other peo-
pie, II the Supreme Court wants in
quiries made about them, the Attorney
General is at their service. But his
has not been the initiative In any OF
these disbarment cases.
Now that the matter is in the courts,
this journal will not discuss 1t further,
but will, in closing its columns to edi-
torial criticism of the accused men,
content itself with congratulating the
public that Hawaii has Supreme
bench which may be trusted to punish
blackmail, If the crime exists, and
brand blackmailers. If any there are
within the jurisdiction of the court.

Theresa Wilcox makes the astonish-
ing statement that the Home Rulers
at Kalihi camp have all been employed,
at her request, by the Department of
Public Works. This is a new sort OF
politics to Americans, but we beg to
remind them that 1t is historically Ha-
waian. Love your enemies, help them
that despitefully use you, side-track
your friends and supporters-this is the
golden rule OF political management in
the Paradise OF the Pacific.

KALAUOKALANI
IS PRESIDENT
CONTINUED from page ~

A finance committee was next UNDER
taken and this met with greater sue
cess. As completed the committee is as
follows: Hawaii, John It. Brown Ma
nj, s. f. Kaiue Molokai, ]. N. Uahinui;
Oahu, Charles Motley; Kauai, John b.
Leleiwe.
DECLARES FOR INDEPENDENCE.
Former Delegate Wilcox was then in
troduced for second speech and held
the audience with him for half hour.
He declared that the time had come for
unity. He said there must be no more
of the talking of the outbreak of fac
lions in the party, that only by pulling
tories that are wanted. He reviewed
the fights of the past, saying that three
years ago the fact that the people were
as one made victory possible, that last
time there was disunion and conse-
quently the Republicans won handily.
Likewise he told Just how the Repub-
some information of the organization of
the Republican methods of carrying on
the war.
Taking up the local campaign which
is now to open, he said that 1t was
time for the people to select the very
best men among the Hawaiians to lead
volt
gions. he said, and man Is not judged
by the church he attends. So with
the parties, there are good men in each
and the duty of the convention was to
make up a ticket of the very best men
possible, but of course making sure
that all were Hawaiians.
Taking up his plans FOR the future
he said that he was preparing a meno-
rial to Congress, asking that there be
given to the islands their independence
just as the United States gave freedom
to Cuba, with a protectorate. Memorials
would be given to the members of the
convention for their signature, and he
hopeu Gil "oaio Ndo Sitclcu
with applause. These and any other
memorials to be passed by the conven-
ton, he said, should be sent to Wash
ington by the Delegate elected last fall.
He closed with an appeal for unity.
Curtis P. Iaukea was next called up
on for a speech. He said that he felt
something like a prodigal son coming
back to his people, but he was glad
to see the faces before him. 1t panied
him to see attempts made to disrupt
the Home Rule party for he thought
the party of the Hawaiians should be
kept in existence. He blamed the Re-
pubicans for insincerity, but said also
that there were Home Rulers who We're
false to the declarations of the party
in its platform. That he could not join
the Home Rule party in its fight, he
said, was a cause of sorrow to him, but
he had chosen his party and would
abide by it. The choice of his party
for Delegate was the young alii, who
had knocked at the door of Home Rule,
and had not been received.
The convention adjourned to meet
this morning at s o'clock.

1t has been some time since earth
quakes were reported but the other day
a shock in Northern California, nearly
coincident with another outbreak at
Soufriere, showed that the globes
seismic forces are livening up again.
Possibly something may happen at XII
lauea in time for the tourist trade
though it is an open question whether
tourists are going to volcanoes as
eagerly as they We're before the Mar
Unique disaster. Still, Hawaiian vol
canoes are tame affairs which share
the dolce far niente feelings of the

The creation of the Fire Claims Com
mission ana the work it has accom-
plished pass into history as a grand
combination of public beneficence. 1t
was a great public calamity, though
with considerable of incidental blessing,
the fire blast that swept through China
town on January 90 1900, There was
no legal recourse for damages against
the body polite represented by the
Government, but the people at large
through their representatives in the
Legislature resolved to sustain the bur-
den of loss. Then the Congress of the
United States, following the divine ex-
ample OF helping those who help them
selves, generously provided about two
thirds OF the means required for the
relief Of the immediate sufferers. Ha-
wall, with all its shortcomings, can do
things or have them done when it's peo-
pie act unitedly.

Kalauokalani won't be run by The
resa and SO will be set aside as Pres
ident OF the Home Rule party. The
aged leader is not a woman's rights
man, which is unfortunate in a party
where women have so much to say AS
another terrible example of the fool
hardy person who tries to head off
Theresa while she is under full head
of steam and running on the main
track. Kalauokalani promises, by today
or tomorrow, to be set down as case
three In the political morgue. Emme-
luth and Russelowsh are on the other
slabs.

awhile and I want to use him." The idea of an assumed respectable citizen with particle of state love or state pride admitting that for a selfish pur- pose alone he is willing to lend his efforts towards foisting upon his state and his people standing shame and disgrace, such as Davis has proven and continues to be. In our opinion one so devoid of state love and state pride would prove another Benedict Arnold if the opportunity offered. Aye, even worse, for Arnold got price for his infamy, while they pros- titute themselves for patronage promise. Yet they tell us that such is successful politics. If so, may God deliver us from all such. Marianr ' Courier.

INVITED FOR THE DAY.

When one stops to consider the pleasure derived by elderly people in social reunions it seems strange to a younger generation that they are pot more frequently held. They are like mythical fountains of youth, such as Ponce de Leon sought in the new world, and rejuvenate old age with enthusiasm and mirth.
 Such gathering it was, when upon invitation from Mrs. L. J. bills, a number of her friends spent the en- tire Saturday at her home in East Newport. An elaborate and elegant dinner Lad been prepared for the oc- casion, beginning with roast pig and turkey and including all the delica- cies of the season. To say that it was enjoyed is putting the case very mildly.
 The hostess was assisted in enter taining by her daughters Mesdames Sam Taggart and J. G. Walker and the only thou Int to mar the perfect happiness of the occasion was found in the intention of Mesdames bills and Walker to remove shortly to their new home in the far West, for the parting of old time friends is indeed sorrowful.
 No games were played, not that games had lost favor, but for the bet ter reason that the company and host had too much to talk about of more interesting character than what was trumps. Mirth and gaiety held sway throughout the day and when the parting hour had hurried around, it was generally agreed that Mrs. J. Brandenburg and Mrs. M. O. Wicker sham of Little Rock were the two youngest ladies present.
 Those in attendance were Mesdames M. c. Wickersham, T. D. Kinman, J. Brandenburg, E. z. Mcdonald, J. M. Bell, A. H. Mcdonald, N. B. Petty, Laura boswell, Pattie Huddleston, L. B. Young, O. w. Scarborough and J. Q. Guynn.

POPULAR CIRCUS IS COMING
T.he Great Wallace Show Will Exhibit
 Here in the Near Future.

The great Wallace show, which will give two performances in Newport Monday, November 18th, is as well and favorably known as any show ever was, and certain class of busi- ness men probably think it foolish for Mir. Wallace to spend money in ad- vertlsing. MT. Wallace does not think so. His agents have been in the city and have arranged for very exten- sive advertising campaign both in the papers and on the billboards.
 Two things are essential for the se- curing of desired results from adver- Using. The advertising matter must be readable and attractive, and then the promise advertised must be kept. MT. Wallace is guided by these two cardinal principals which have been attended with such conspicuous suc- cess in his case.
 The Landmark of Norfolk, Va, one of the leading papers of that section of the country, said:
 "Whenever a circus does more than it advertises you can put it down that it is strictly first class and up to date This is what the great Wallace show did in this city yesterday, as can be testified to by the thousands who crowded it's tents at the o'clock per formance. In the afternoon standing room was at premium and even al night, when the rain looked at one time as if there could be no perform ance, there were people present."
