What is known as the "Tyner" Incl
dent has been closed by "A letter from
President Roosevelts secretary, in
which the President declines to with
draw the expressions he used in a let
ter regarding Tyner's conduct while
in the Department of the Post Office.
Tyner was placed on trial for conspi-
racy and was acquitted. He then wrote
long and pathetic letter to Roosevelt,
claiming to have been done a grievous
wrong by RooseVelt's severe express
sions about him and asking that the
President retract, in view of the YER
dict of acquittal. The letter was made
use of a good deal by Democrats, as
showing an alleged hasty injustice by
the President The final reply Is, how
even that the president, after having
the matter Investigated by the Depart
ment of Justice, stands by what he
originally wrote. Secretary Loeb's
letter calls attention to the fact that
Tyner's acquittal was on a charge of
conspiracy which is substantially diff
ferent from the accusations Roosevelt
brought, and the President refuses to
retract or withdraw anything he said.

in deciding to withdraw his request
to Governor Carter for the immediate
acceptance of his resignation, Attorney
General Andrews has acted for the best
interests of the Territory, even though
it is at the cost of personal sacrifice.
During the period of his incumbency
the Attorney General has put the work
of his Office in splendid shape and has
done that with the least possible fric-
ton. He has made enemies no doubt
but strong men are often known by
the enemies they make and certainly
in this connection the Attorney General
cannot complain. The work he has
been called upon to do has not always
been of the most pleasant description
but he has invariably gone ahead dis
playing a devotion to duty which has
been nothing short of admirable.

The local Federal Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has just issued a bull
letin on The Banana in Hawaii" The
bulletin is very thorough in it's treat
ment of the subject, and contains in
formation which should be studied by
all grower, for under modern condi-
lions the scientific farmer is the one
who succeeds the best in all lines To
the general public aside from those
engaged in banana raising, the intro
ductory remark by Commissioner
Jared Smith are interesting as calling
attention to an opportunity, long neg
lected which Hawaii should be able to
grasp THE people of the United
States consumed over seven million
dollars worth of imported bananas in
the year 1902. Each year the importa-
tions are increasing and at the rate of
nearly a million dollars per annum in
value. The West India Bulletin states
that in the height of the season, up
wards of twenty steamers per week
leave Jamaica alone laden chiefly with
bananas for the markets of the United
States. Comment is unnecessary upon
what this trade has done for Jamaica
particularly since the decline in the su-
gar industry. Banana growing is to-
day one of the most profitable indus
tries in that island, Notwithstanding
the fact that tornadoes sometimes de-
stroy whole fields. Further, the indi-
rect influence which this trade has had
upon tourist travel can not be easily
estimated. The frequent passage of
steamers has attracted thousands of
people to the West Indies to spend the
winter. Why should not the Hawaiian
Islands take some more considerable
part in this large and increasing indus
try and commerce? This is question
worthy of careful consideration. This
Territory possesses soils and climate
admirably adapted to the growth of
bananas. 1t also is fFse, from lorna.
does, the, grower thus avoiding the
great losses that come to planters in
some other countries. A great market,
on the Pacific slope of the main land
of our own country, is at our doors"
1t needs no "small farmer" enthusiast
to say that Hawaii can grow good ba-
nanas, and anyone can see that the
western American market rightfully
belongs to Hawaii. Even with present
steamer facilities, there is money in
competing with the bananas which
have to come all the way from the
West Indies and the future will see an
increase in steamer facilities, especial
ly if freight offerings increase. Incl
dentally, as Jared Smith points out, the
tourist trade grows with the other
There is no doubt that here, as in the
West Indies, the indirect effect of a
