SUPPORT TIE YACHT RACE

Honolulu set such a high mark in
handling the floral and pau parade
thai the leaders as well as the rank
and file of the town should approach
the next great event with confidence,
liberality and enthusiasm.
The ocean yacht race to be held in
the spring has already done great
deal toward bringing Hawaii before
the public In a most favorable manner,
II is opening out a new line of thought
for all mainlanders. Though the EN-
pire has been steadily marching on
a westward course, the thought that
the Pacific is ripe for great yacht
race comes to average humanity as a
pleasant awakening.
There Is no doubt that the islands
will be wonderfully benefited by this
enterprising move of the Promotion
committee especially n the town will
give the support warranted.
Hawaii must have a yacht In the
race. II must see that the visitors
are properly entertained. The pro-
gram must have other features than
the mere sailing to Honolulu.
To do this requires money. Every
business man should be convinced by
this time that money invested In pro
motion is certain to reap ample div
idends.

Permanent mproyements.-To the

Cane Loading Devices.-Three Will
son-Webster cane loading machines
were purchased during the year. While
these machines have their drawbacks
they are, to my thinking, a profitable
investment for the reason that they
do not require picked men for the la
borious work Of loading, and they need
less men TO handle a given quantity
OF cane. At the beginning of the sea-
son their cost Of operation was eX-
Cessive; but, after the workmen were
broken In" to their use, this expendi-
ture was reduced 10 very satisfactory
degree The main drawback to the
Wilson-W Webster loader is the quantity
of leaves gathered on the bundles OF
cane by dragging over the field to the
machines.
S7S9 acres new land were cleared
and planted for crop of 1907, and stones
taken from this area were utilized N

Experiment Station.-During the

termining the most profitable fertilizo-
ton methods and for testing values OF
different varieties OF cane. One of the
largest single items of expense on this
plantation is fertilizer II averaged
during the past four years In the neigh

be In the erection OF houses for labor

GENERAL LEWDNESS


er refer the case to the Territorial au.
thorities, or give the defendant a
light sentence. such as he would be
liable to under the law of the Terri.
tory. The latter way was properly
the better of the two.
district Attorney Breckons stated
that while he agreed with Kingsbury
rs to the result he did not agree with
him as to the reason for IT, His argu.
ment might be taken as n criticism OF
the action OF the Federal authorities in
taking action in the case.
The United states had the authority
to see that the marriage VOWS we're
not violated, and in every case where
II could legislate in the matter It did
all II could to protect the marriage.
1t was true that II was not its purpose
to look aftetr the general practice Of
lowdness, but merely to protect mar.
riage. In this case woman had
chosen to cast aside the United States
laws regarding marriage, and Breck.
Ons believed that II was the intention
of Congress that such woman should
be punished. He had at first been
Informed that Revara know OF her for
mey marriage when ne married her.
Later on Breckons had ascertained
that he had been ignorant of the fact
at the time. and he was willing to
give him the benefit of the doubt. He
agreed with Kingsbury as to the re.
suit, at the same time protesting that
tho prosecution of cases Of this kind
was not contrary to the spirit of the
law.
Kingsbury still contended that the
law owed its origin to a political ques.
tion, and that II was not the duty of
lhe United States to do the cleaning
up of the alleyways Of this Territory.
He had, however, not meant to crit:
tcizc.
Judge Dole. after summing up the
facts Of the case, expressed himself as
differing to some extent from the
views expressed by Kingsbury, al.
though, he said, II was not the policy
OF the officers of this court to prose.
cute all cases Of adultery. Kingsbury
had made a strong argument for the
defendant, who was also entitled to
some consideration as II appeared that
he had not known of the woman's
former marriage when he married her,
His offense lay in living with her af'
ter he had found out about IT, He
would be punished lightly. Revara
was then sentenced to one months i'm
prisonment.

GOVERNOR AND SCHOOLS

Il may have been a stroke Of genius
or y small political inspiration that
suggested the idea OF petitioning the
Governor or the Acting Governor of
the Territory to borrow the money to
provide the public schools with the
janitors they need.
We are willing to let It rest as
genius.
The scheme is a splendid one. except
that 1t wont work, either coming or
going.
The Governor Of the Territory has
no authority to borrow money Tor the
public schools unless ne does II on his
private credit and makes a donation.
Any citizen can do that. The people
might petition until doomsday and the
Governor might promise 10 De as good
a fellow as the elasticity of his per.
sonal credit will allow. Meanwhile
the schools would still be free from
disturbance by ianitors. Pupils and
teachers would be sweeping out the
sChOOlrooms.

ed, the problem in its immediate de-
mands is one for the Honolulu pupils
