dustry of the islands. These monopo-
lies, instead of the people, would then
be the principal beneficiaries Of the
tariff concession.
THE small farmer can not grow
cane unless he has sugar-house where
he can deliver the cane Immediately af-
ter it is cut, because sugar-cane can
not be stored for any length of time.
Sugar-cane in the tropical countries is
therefore mostly grown on large plan
tations. The labor on large plantations
is usually of a semi-slave type and of
little benefit to a nation.
1.-THE production of other tropical
products, such as coffee and rubber, of
which we are also large Consumers, and
which we can never hope to produce in
the United States, can be sold directly
by the small farmers to the merchant.
Such crops will tend to make independ-
ent farmers with small farms having
independent homes and therefore good
citizens.
Tariff concessions to the islands,
considering them as a dependency of
this country, can be considered in the
nature of a bounty, and may, under
the Brussels convention, prevent ex-
porting Philippine sugar to the Eng
lish, French, and German possessions
in China which heretofore have large
ly purchased their sugar supply from
the Philippine Islands,"

"HOW THE OTHER
HALF LIVES''

EDITOR STAR:-Wiu you allow
space to call attention again tn Mt
Raths address at the Thursday Club
on ''How ne Other Half Lives" which
was revelation to the audience who
were present of what thorough and
valuable work was being done along
lines more familiar upon the mainland
than in HCnolulu. 1t is true that a
dark impression was given Of some
phases of the situation but these rath-
er reflected on "How Our Half Lives''
rather thai 'HOw the Other Half
Lives" The address contained much
of hope as well. It deserves the
thoughtful attention of this community,
as showing a faithful presentation of
it's weakest spot, it's points of danger
its points of vantage, and the lines of
work which must be done to improve
If not to eradicate these dangerous
conditions

it, and asked George why he didn It
eat it.
