HOMESTEADED LABOR ON
CUBAN SUGAR PLANTATIONS

Mr.. c. Hedemann, manager Of the
Honolulu Iron Works company, is in
New York city experimenting the
business of the company at that end of
the line, more particularly in connec-
ton with the assembling of the sugar
tract for furnishing and erecting near
the Tehauntepec railroad in Mexico and
the new mill which it is supplying to
the Wailuku plantation on Maui
Mr.. Hedemann has recently visited
Porto Rico and writes interestingly of
what he saw there and of labor and
poli,ical conditions in Cuba. He says,
in writing to a friend in Honolulu:
VISIT TO w. ]. LOWRIE.
During the month of May I visited
Porto Rico, and under the guidance
W. ]. Lowrie, 1 visited a number of
the most prominent plantations, trav-
eled across the country over the beau
tiful military road built by the Span
iards and kept in a most excellent
condition, and Travelled fully over three
fourths of the entire shore line of the
island. I found at the Aguirre planta-
tion on the south coast quite a large
and pleasant settlement of Hawaiian
people, whom Mr.. Lowrie has engaged
as engineers. sugar boilers, account
ants overseers, ETC.; besides several
contracting planters, all formally con-
nected with Hawaiian plantations. Mr..
Lowrie has brought that plantation up
to a wonderful success by using the
Hawaiian methods, in the field work
as well as in the sugar house, and it is

considered one of the best, if not the
best, managed plantations in all of the
West Indies. He is having a great bat
tie against the old established Cuban
and Porto Rican planters methods.
which these conservative planters do
not easily give up until they find the
example set by Mr.. Lowrie to be great
ly to their advantage.
The people owning the Aguirre plan
tation, which this year turned out over
10000 tons of sugar and have the cane
to be ground next season which with
yield over 10000 tons, are now contem-
plating the building OF large central
factory, located about fifteen to twenty
miles from the present mill. This cen
trail factory in the course of a few
years will reach a capacity of from
5000 to 1000 tons of cane per day. The
formation of this country is at pres
ent under consideration by the owners.
including Mr. Lowrie, who holds
large portion of the stock.
SUGAR OUTLOOK IN PORTO RICO.
With the sugar import free from duty
to the United States; with the large
poor laboring population in the island;
with transportation expenses from the
mill to the market of less than one
third of what such transportation ex-
penses are to the Hawaiian planters;
with a climate and natural condition of
the land and soil which can hardly be
found more advantageous anywhere for
cane cultivation. and with number of
responsible land owners who are will
ing and able to cultivate cane on their
own large tracts of land and sell it to
Aguirre plantation at what we would
liz Hawaii call low cost, and owning the
exclusive franchise of railroad trans
portation on both sides of their large

WATERMELON RACE.
- Five competitors faced the starter
mostly members of the polo club The
idea was to race to a line OF water
melons, dismount, grab a melon ana
ride to the finish with it, the first home
TO be declared winner. The race Gre
ated a world of amusement, for a ripe
watermelon isn't the handiest thing TO
take riding with one on an English
saddle. Major Potter won from Harold
T,iIyineham and Eddie Du1Senberg.
Clarence Cooke and George Angus also
ran.
BUCKING PONY CONTEST
Two essayed to ride a bit of hea-
bitten, -colored pony which had
more devil in him than his inches Woulo
seem to warrant. A Hawaiian boy was
first up and he was soon down, the pony
flooring him at the third buck The
gentleman didn't feel like trying again.
Then another young native expressed
willingness to take hand IN the game
He donned a pair Of monster spurs, put
this was as far as he got, for When the
time came to mount, a sudden and vlo-
lent attack of cold feet kept him on
terra frIna.
ROPING AND TYING CONTEST.
This event brought out some of the
most expert cowboys of Hawaii, all
eaeer TO win the very attractive prizes
offered. Ikua Purdy of the Parker
ranch was declared winner, doing his
stunt in SO ga seconds. Keau OF do-
nouIiuli ranch took second prize ms
time being IS seconds. Pulu, also OF
honolulu ranch, got away with th1rd
award, and T. Lopez, known as 90

Potter divided second prize, which took
the form of 100 shares in Maunalei.
STRAIGHTAwAY ROPING CON-
TEST
This was regular scramble. a steer
being released and a whole mob of
cowboys racing after him, all intent up
on getting the first rope on his anatomy
and downing the "critter." Ikua Purdy
lived up to his reputation as the most
expert cowboy in Hawaii by winning
from Archie Kaaua and Willie Spencer.
The Parker ranch contingent fairly
farmed this contesti An Emergency
Roping Contest was to have followed,
but this event was eliminated from the
program on account of the lateness Of
the hour and the jaded condition of the
steers.
RIDING THE WILD STEER.
Will Bellina took first try and rode
the bullock like veteran. After the
first spasm the animal was quickly sub
jugated and gave Bellina very pleas

back made the crowd roar with laugh

PRESIDENT ELIOT OF HARVARD

ANY man who by sound thinking and

man a great sense Of responsibility accom-
panies this power. 1t may become SO pow
self
sn There are no more successful business
enterprises than are those conducted by
remarkable intelligent autocrats, and prob
ably the same would be true of govern
ments II any mode had been invented of
discovering and putting into place desir-
able autocrats.
The prevailing modes of selection, such
as nefedlty and transmission, have been so
very unsuccessful that autocracy as mode
10 government has fallen into disrepute. In
business enterprises the existing modes Of
discovery and selecting the autocrats seem
TO be better than in the government for
autocracy In business has been justified by
results.
The most serious disadvantage under
which the very rich have labored Is the
bringing up of children 1t Is weIl-nigh
impossible for very rich man to develop
his children from habits of indifference and
iazlness. These children are SO situated
that they have no opportunity of doing
productive labor and do nothing for them
selves parents, brothers or sisters no one
acquiring the habit of work. In striking
contrast are farmers children, who CO.
operate at tender years in the work of the
household.

CIVIC CLUBS PROTEST.
Decrease Of Saloons in the District
Subject Of Petition.

We feel that the criminal record of this
municipality would be considerably de-
creased If saloons were wholly eliminated
from the resident streets and the standard
and quality of the liquor dispensed thor
oughly inspected"
This is the concluding statement made
by a committee of the Civic Club of the
District in an energetic protest Just filed
with the excise board. In the body of their
communication the committee called atten-
ton to the large number and the proxim-
ity of saloons located in the residential
streets, particularly in those parts where
the laboring people are compelled to re-
side. Southwest Washington, the commit
tee thinks, is especially the sufferer from
the conditions named. while other sections
In which they believe there are too many
saloons include that part OF the city south
of Pennsylvania avenue and west of 21st
street north of NJ street and east of 7th
street to New Jersey avenue; west of Con-
necticut avenue on K, l. and NJ streets to
22d street The committee further states
that in this last mentioned territory Is To-
Gated one of the city's largest public
schools, and they ask whether in this case,
and in the case of several other schools
the act of Congress requiring that no sa-
looms shall be established within four hun
bred feet Of a school or church is being lit
Concerning the other point raised in their
communicaton-the quality of the liquor
dispensed-the committee calls attention to
the fact that the internal revenue law pro-
yideS that whisky received into bonding
houses must be ninety-five proof, or 90 per
cent alcohol and 80 per cent pure water,
and In this connection they state that 1t
Is a serious question what sort Of whisky
Is being sold in some of those places which
are known to demand only % cents pint.
I'VE feel sure" they continue, that 1t Is
a matter that should be investigated under
the pure food and drink law, for the rea-
son that it is apparent to our minds that
II the strength Of bonded liquor is reduced
with pure water. thereby lessening the al
cohol, there must be some other ingredient
introduced which produces the fire that
seems to destroy the reason and is pro-
ductive of SO much disorder and crime"
The committee which signed this protest
consisted of William s. Lotion, Charles r.
Douglass DIR. John r. Francis, William P.
Tunnel and Rev. Walter H. Brooks.
