MOLASSES
AND MAILS2

Waterfront habitues are familiar
with the sight OF windjammer that
having been safely towed into port
with steering way stil on and stay.
sails fifty trimmed casts Off the tow
Hbe, releasing the painting tugboat, and
gallantly takes her way by herself in
to DOCK without further assistance
Thus the Federal grand jury. having
been safely conducted by the District
Attorney through the legal verblage of
all the indictments he had to present,
has cast off the leading strings and en-
tered upon an investigation all it's
own.
Il really can not say what the grand
jury is doing" District Attorney Brec-
kons said yesterday afternoon with a
smile evidently meant to be vacant.
The grand jurors are through with
me- the Federal prosecutor added.
and have started upon some investi-
CATION of their own notion"
What this independent Inquest con-
Germs can only be vaguely surmised
from the class of witnesses thereto sub
poenaed. The first three. at all events,
are in the category of men who have
had experience in the conducting Of
country postoffices They are e. W.
Barnard of Laupahoehoe. Hawaii; w.
t. Lucas. formerly of Lihue, Kauai:
and ID. Mckenzie, formerly of Haka-
lau. Hawaii Either as postmaster or
manager of a country store in which
postoffice was situated, each of these
witnesses called to appear before the
Federal grand jury has had to do with
postal business.
An0fhpr hnn nf al ,,,s,
between the trio of witnesses is that
they all sold groceries as well as post
age stamps, and moreover are all pro-
minent now in the grocery business
Mr.. Barnard Is a general merchant,
selling groceries amongst other things, I
at the picturesque town beneath the !
beetling cliffs at Laupahoehoe. Mr. !,
Lucas is manager of H. Nav & Co.
Ltd, large grocery corporation, and !
Mr.. Mckenzie holds similar posi- |
tion In the grocery department Of Theo.
H. Davies & Co., Ltd.
How is 1t, then? 1t can not be that |
there is any such a ludicrous postal
scandal under investigation as the
mixing of molasses with the mails.
Neither can 1t be imagined that the I
proverbial sand for making the sugar
hefty has been used by any country
postmaster for cleaning" used post
age stamps, and then maple syrup for
mucilage to make the stamps stick
anew
Most likely the Federal grand jury
Is trying to get at the whole truth re-
garding the management of rural post
offices situated In country stores. A
reason for such an inquiry is easily
suggested by the fact that several
country postmasters have gone wrong
one or two very heavily so-wthin
the past two or three years. There
was one case in which postoffice was
robbed and then burned down.
Groceries in connection with the in
vest'eation are no doubt purely coin

last year, claiming that some lands
were rented for about cents an acre
Mr.. Lloyd also tried to bring out that
the expenses o. the Hawaiian Territory
are more than the expense Of the Ter
ritories of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma all put together.
Delegate Kalanianaole has secured
the consent of Col. pete" Hepburn Of
Iowa to be witness before the House
Committee on Territories in behalf of
the refunding bill at an early date.
The Washington Post of Monday
morning had a long article about the
Hawaiian delegation and also an inter-
view with Hon. w. o. Smith about
their errand here. The article is as
follows:
NEEDS OF TERRITORY.
The strongest delegation Hawaii
could muster arrived in Washington
yesterday, and will try to persuade
Congress to decree that three fourths
of the customs duties and internal rev.
enues collected in the Territory shall
be expended on public works there. At
present the entire sum. aggregating
sl,20O,OOO year, equal TO IS per capita
Of the population, is taken out of the
Territory, constituting a rather heavy
drain on its resources
So important is this matter, I'm the
estimation of the Hawaiians, that the
commission was instructed to ignore
all other business and concentrate its
energies on the ''refunding scheme" as
they call IL. Yet there are plenty of
matters of great importance TO T.,
island Territory, like immigration, that
require immediate attention
Hawaii has a population Of 100000
but needs 100000. With the Chinese
excluded, with strong sentiment devel.
oping ON the Pacific Coast for the ex-
clusion Of the Japanese from all parts
of the country, including Hawaii, and
with very little white immigration.
shortage OF labor is becoming serious
Yet even the labor problem does no;
loom so large in the Hawaiian view as
the plan TO secure three-fourths of
the Territorial revenues for public
works. The relative importance for
the two subjects, from the Hawaiian
standpoint may be Judged by the fact
that A. l.. @. Atkinson, Territorial
Secretary, who has been recalled 20
