PUREFOODAIDS
SUGAR

Has 1t struck you that the Pure
Food Bill. when has passed the Unit
ed States Senate. will be a great thing
FOR the sugar planters of these is
ands?" John ] Egan asked an Ad-
vertiser reporter yesterday.
How? 1t will probably increase the
consumption OF pure cane sugar In the
United States twenty-five per cent.
You know that a large proportion OF
the sugar consumed goes into the fruit
and food packing industries, also that
a large part of the profits are made
by smuggling cheap substitutes for
pure sugar into the composition OF the
products.
Under the Federal Pure Food law,
all such substitutions will be unlaw-
ful-subject to heavy penalties-ex-
cepting where they may be allowed on
| condition of the truth being told on the
labels. Whatever ingredients are
harmful to health will be absolutely
prohibited. Such a law cannot fail to
increase the demand for pure sugar"
Mr.. Egan's opinion thus expressed
certainly looks plausible. When the
manufacturers and packers of preserv-
| ed fruits and foods, confectionery and
condiments, have to show upon their
labels the true composition of their
goods when they use glucose and
chemical sweeteners instead of pure
cane sugar, il means that the consum-
ers will know what is offered to them
and those wanting only what is genu-
Inc and best will buy none other.
Pure cane sugar is mentioned here
| adyisedly. for 1t is well known that
sophisticated housekeepers will not us,

K1HE1 HAS ITS MEETING.

Slightly over the estimated produc-
ton was the amount of sugar market
ed last year by the Kihei Plantation
Co, 1850 tons being turned out. 1t re-
quired seven tons of cane to produce
one ton of sugar, according of figures
supplied in the report of the manager
Jas. scott, at their annual meeting yes
terday.
This year there will be 1902 ceres Of
-cane to be cut, much of which was
affected by the leaf hopper. In 1907
the area to crop will be 745 acres OF
which 375 are planted and $40 being
carried for ratoons. The planting OF
this crop has been greatly retarded
by the lack of water.
The soil on this plantation requires
more water than the average, each 80
acres taking one million gallons, which
would irrigate 20 acres on most plan
tations For this reason the acreage
to be planted in future will be cut
down, to secure the best results, to
700.
Continuous operation of the pumps
had to be kept up during the past year,
adding considerably to the operating
cost. Arrangements to secure water
from the new ditch of the Maui Agri-
cultural Company were made by doub-
ling the ditch capacity on the planta-
ton, the work having been finished In
the lost of January.
A $4,000 reservoir will be built this
year on the land reserved from the
tract sold to the Maui Agricultural Co
this being the only extraordinary eX-
penditure contemplated.

In supporting this suggestion. the A
Llberdade reminds us that It would be
no innovation In the case of the Homo
lulu High school. for when the gov
eminent first opened that school all
pupils paid tuition. And, furthermore,
1t is just that they should pay for
special school, for such 1t is, as only
the children of our richer class of peo-
pie can attend II. We must bear In
mind that the fathers of the poorer
children are also taxpayers, and i
might say truthfully. contribute move
to the school fund than the fathers of
the richer children.
When II comes to the other part OF
the suggestion, that the two higher
grades OF our best government schools
charge tuition we might and could en-
force those pupils above the age OF iif-
teen, the age limit set by law, to pay
such a tuition
The law, presume, is meant to offer
common education to the children OF
the land and prepare them for citizen
ship. But how many are prepared
directly for business and to enter col
leges each year? Professor Scott. as
| puDllSned III tne Otner mornings Au-
vertiser. said that twenty-seven pupils
graduated during the past year, ready
for business, from the High School.
Mr.. Editor. ] believe in giving every
one the hest education possible. but I'm
| the present case. where the lower
schools in Oahu and on the other is
| lands are suffering. l believe that that
| higher education should be paid for.
First, we must arrange to give all
common education and then, when we
can afford 1t. give special education to
those desiring 1t. Think of it, in the
High School the pupils, children of
taxpayers, OF course, are taught the
modern languages while in the other
schools the children, also of tax-pay-
ers. suffer for want of better paid
teachers. and better and more commo-
dious schoolhouses.
We never hear a word of complaint
from those parents whose children at
tend Oahu College. Punahou Prepare
tory, Kamehameha Schools, St Louis
College and other private schools II

ton of their children and also pa!
their taxes.
The suggestion. Mr.. Editor, may no

part OF our school law, but there car
never be better and more noble Law
than that of Justice TO the poor"

The Improvement of the individual

dress delivered to the Thursday Club
at the Y. NJ. G. A. han last night by
Hon. ID. l.. Wilmington. The effect of
grand ideas worked out in architec-

university grounds and buildings IN
California, is far reaching. developing
character and moulding the minds OF
people along higher grounds. he said,
The improvement of Honolulu in a
beautfying sense would improve 1t
morally, which was something not con-
sidered by the majority OF people.
A general discussion was INDUCED in
at the conclusion of Mr.. Withington's
address and a vote OF thanks was pass
ed. There We're only few present,
which was unfortunate as the subject
and its treatment We're excellent.

supper table Saturday night and scaled
the wall with the aid of a plank from the

Walcott, Wyo., Man Bought Horses
From Strangers Which May
Have Belonged to Irvine.

Walcott, Wyo, July 29.-It is ascertained
that T. f.. Weber of this place a few

Irvine and his son near here. purchased
from three men passing through the

which, il is believed, were the horses

Irvine was travelling across the country.
The wagon was found riddled with bull
lets, and short distance therefrom were
been brutality murdered and badly burned.
Weber has given TO the authorities a
very good description of the men from
whom he purchased the horses, and this
will probably help materially in obtaining
a clue to the murderers.
