THE CULEBRA TRANSFER.

1t would be interesting to know why
the European squadron of the United
States has been ordered to the West
Indies to maneuver. For such pur-
poses the Mediterranean was at hand
and in that sea the European squadron
has unanswered before. There was
nothing local to keep it from doing so
again. The question arises whether
there Is anything in our foreign rela-
lions, apropos OF Panama or San Do
mingo, which has made 1t seem advis-
able to strengthen our already great
fleet in West Indian waters.
1t may be that the return of the Eu-
ropean squadron means nothing more
than an exchange Of station with the
South Atlantic squadron. In that
event we shall soon hear Of vessels
coming north to join in the maneuvers
at Culebra and then crossing the At
lantic. Duty on the eastern coast of
South America Is always distasteful to
naval officers and it Is the custom to
give them a taste Of Europe after
wards. The time Is up for the officers
of the South Atlantic squadron to ex-
pect transfer and there seems to be
no good reason why they shouldn't take
their ships with them If they go.

A CAMPAIGN MOVE.

The approach OF a Presidential cleo
ton is known by the petty politics
that appear in Congress. one of the
present signs IL n privileged resolution
in the House requesting the Secretary
of state for inform alton as to the num-
Der of horses, carriages and automo-
biles maintained at the expense OF the
Government by officials at the state
Department.
The resolution recalls the row over
Van Buren's introduction OF a billiard
table to the white House, the criti-
cisms OF Grant for keeping more than
two horses and the periodical trouble
over repairs of the Executive Mansion
and the use of gunboat to carry
the President about. AS Presidential
elections approach 1t Is counted a sad
offence for the heads OF government,
In the richest country of the world. to
enjoy the customary privileges of gem
tlemen or of men of their official rank
elsewhere.
SO far as the State Department is
concerned II probably uses all the car
riages and automobiles 1t needs in its
business. The people pay for them
and expect to pay for them and yet
do not know that they are doing so
through any increase of their taxation.
Periodical rows over such things are
cheap1y political.

AMERICAN PROGRESS.

The United States again STANDS, at
the close OF the calendar year 1908, at
the head of the list of worlds export
ing nations. so far as relates to the
expectation of domestic products.
There are only three billion dollar
countries" considered from the stand
point Of expectation of domestic prod
ucts, and they are, in the order of the
magnitude of their exports, the United
States, the United Kingdom. and Ger
many. In the calendar year 1908 the
exports of domestic products We're:
From the United states, sl.457, 565, 1888
in value; from the United Kingdom,
81, 1911, 552; from Germany the figures
for the full year have not been receiv-
ed, but an examination OF the figures
of the year for which statistics are
available Justifies an estimate of 81,
200 100000.
The United States In 1875 stood at
the bottom of the list OF the four great
exporting nations OF the world; at the
end OF the next decade It had advanced
one place, a decade later still another
place, and in 1908 stood at the head of
the list as the worlds greatest ex-
porter OF domestic products.

NEW THINGS ARE OLD.

Charles f. LufnmlS, the eultOr VI d
magazine published at Los Angeles,
California, Is a writer of unusual re-
search and with quaint and strong
phraseology. He has delved extensive
" into Middle Age literature, and is
publishing the result of his researches,
and 1t is very interesting to observe,
in important connections. how little
there Is in modern days that Is abso-
lutely new and original.
For instance, he has brought to light
a book written in Latin by Ferrarius in
1916, published in Rome and entitled
THE Hesperides or the Golden Apple,
which Is most elaborate, exact and
nicely illustrated, and proves that in
the cultivation of oranges, lemons,
lines and other citrus fruit, no ad-
vancement whatever has been made in
two hundred and fifty years. The
methods employed in Califorpia and in
Hawaii are the same that were fol-
lowed at that remote period in Italy
and in other countries where these
fruits We're raised. Even the navel
orange has undergone no change.
Another example is in the modes of
conducting mining operations, in which
there has been great improvement but
practically no alteration in the prin-
ciples applied. In this respect Mr..
Lummis was anticipated by gentle
man, now in Honolulu, who as far
back as 1856, quoting from the Siciian
author, Diodorus Siculus, showed that,
before the commencement of the Chris
tian Era, on the confines of Abyssinia,
gold was extracted from quartz by cal
cination, pounding and separation of
the precious metal from the dross
through the action of water or course
the cyanide process is an innovation
! and machinery has been wondrously
developed. but the principles of existing
reduction and extraction are essential
ly the same. Mr. Lummis has found a
rare book, DE MetalliCa," published
in Basic in 1861, and written by Agri-
cola, who in 1881 was appointed Profess
sor of Chemistry in the mining district
of Chemnitz, SaXony, which Is one of
the most complete expeditions of deep
and superficial mining that the litera-
ture of the world can supply and Is re-
| plete with fine engravings that would
| almost answer for descriptive examples
of mining in the Twentieth Century.
Among other things, the accounts and
Illustrations of the bucket pumps in use
/ before the Christian Era and of the
varieties of suction pumps in existence
in the sixteenth century, seriously de-
tract from the claims of modern inven-
tors.
The wise Preacher said that, when
he lived, there was nothing new under
the sun, and, when the darkness of
the past is actually penetrated, evident
combinations of this philosophical
truth spring up on every side, especial
ly within the range of material things
But, even in the rich domain of litera-
ture, Shakespeare, the dramatic sun of
the ages, derived much of his blazing
light from the pages of the Bible and
the misty legends of the ancients.

PATENT MEDICINES.

L The other day an Eastern medical
assembly discussed patent medicines in
the hope of reaching them with some Of
the inhibitions of the pure food law.
Ever since such remedies came into
the market, doctors have inveighed
against them, often with reason, but
from professional standpoint of self
interest. Undeniably the proprietary
cure-alls have cost the medical profess
sion heavily in fees; and 1t is equally
true that many of them have hum
plugged their purchasers in the bar
gain; though even where the medicines
have been as worthless as the bread
pills sometimes doled out by highly
paid practitioners, they may have done
good through their effects upon the
Imagination.
The point we wish to make, however,
is that because a remedy is patented
it is not necessarily worthless. Patent
medicines are precisely like physi-
clans in that they are good, bad and
Indifferent. When a learned man, in
the course of his Investigations finds or
invents a remedy, as Jenner found the
principle of vaccination he is sorely
tempted 10 Cldlln the I1ndnClal DeHellS
of it for himself. He feels that he has
as much moral right te the money to
be made from it as the inventor of a
sewing machine has to the profits of his
device or as the writer of a book has
to the returns from his copyright
Naturally he hesitates between self-in-
terest and his ethical duty to the pro-
fession; and as he turns, his discovery
becomes either patent medicine,
tabooed as worthless by other doctors
or specific which they freely use in
curing the ills that flesh is heir to.
1t Is an imposition on mankind that
any cure should be put on an index
eXpurgatorious, merely because 1t does
not seek patients in a prescribed way.
That there are remedies as useful I'M
der a trademark as any that are with
out 1t, Is fact which common expert
ence proves. The writer could cite
examples If these We're advertising COL
umns; but the general public is CON-
petent to cite it's own and would re-
sent any attempt to bar such medicines
altogether. The most that could rea-
sonably be done would be TO have them
pass the same chemical inspections as
food To determine whether they have
harmful ingredients, in which case
they could be properly put under the
ban of the law
The Hawaiian gazette., 1904-02-05

The Merchants Association acted
promptly on the Advertisers plea for
a regimental post and named commit
tee to prepare a memorial to the Sec
rotary of War. This memorial will
go to Delegate Kuhio, who will thus
have the chance of his official life to
get big thing for Honolulu. Regi-
mental posts are not assigned by Con-
gress and if we get one it will be
owing to the singlehanded work Of the
Delegate with Secretary Taft. The
latter has been here and appreciates
as well as General Macarthur did the
supreme need of putting Hawaii on a
defensive basis. One point to press
upon him will be that it Is not neces-
sary in this climate to wait upon the
erection of barracks, as tent life is
practicable here the year around.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1904-02-05
WANTED-A REGIMENT.

The commercial bodies of Honolulu
could not use their influence to better
advantage than by urging the War
Department to establish regimental
post in this island. The Artillery is
going away in April and Infantry is
to be sent in its place. Whether a
substitute of one company or more is
intended, no one here knows; but there
is rumor out that a battalion will
come. 1t might just as well be regi-
ment. In any coast city on the main
land, the local authorities would make
a regiment their objective and would
give the War Department no peace I'M
til they got 1t.
1t costs money to get new residents
OF tourists; but when soldiers come
the Government pays the freight. II
Honolulu can obtain more than a
thousand strangers for the urging,
that will be promotion work worth
while and its cost won't be much.
Both President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Taft are inclined to listen to
representations from the right people
in Honolulu. Why not call them up?
