EDITOR SMITH VISITS
B|NGHAMTON, NEW YORK

Binghamton IN. W Press, Sept. 10:
Through local friends of Walter G.
Smith, native of Sherburne, who has
spent the last ten years in Honolulu
and who is stopping in Binghamton
for few days as the guest of Mr..
and Mrs. E. E. MacKinstry on Haw-
ley street, it was learned that he has
come to this country upon an invita-
ton to speak at the Mohonk confer
enee, which is a convention held at
Mohonk, in the Catskills, in October
of each year, and which has been at
tended by some of Americas most
prominent men. The speakers chosen
are always men well qualified to dis
cuss the various questions of public
interest.
When questioned by a Binghamton
Press reporter regarding Hawaiian
conditions, Mr.. Smith said that the
is very much awake to
the fact that these islands are I'M
protected and, if they are ever captured
by Japan or any other powerful nation,
this would constitute base of opera
tions against the coast of the United
States, for such a nation having full
possession of Hawaii, could temporarily
fortify it with floating mines or NOR
tars and, unless beaten back by our
feet, could send her ships against San
Francisco, San Diego and the ports on
Puget Sound. Mr.. Smith further sug-
rested that under such circumstances
our fleet would have to be very large
and very heavily fortified, but that
The United States could, by heavily for
flying Hawaii, and making naval

is At END Of
HER FINANCES
The Political Conditions Are
Very HurtfuI to San
Francisco.

Among the passengers TO return tt
this city on the Siberia yesterday were
Mr.. and Mrs. Willard Brown, who have
been on six weeks trip TO the Coast
Mr.. Brown states that he has been
simply on vacation and has not wOr-
ried with business matters while away,
but has taken a good rest, enjoying the
pleasures which California affords.
In speaking of the financial condi-
tions in California, which naturally
| have affected and will affect this city,
Mr.. Brown said:
81 was in San Francisco last year,
month after the earthquake, and the
tremendous work which has been done
since then in the line of rebuilding the
city is almost beyond belief The
buildings which have been and are be-
ing erected are substantial and very
many are of reinforced concrete. They
are springing up all over the city. 1t
is really wonderful to see what has
been done by the people of the city
which suffered so much from the earth
quake and fire.
81 am sorry to say, however, that
when it comes to rebuilding the people
of San Francisco seem to be almost at
the end of their financial ability. The
political situation there is the greatest
cause of money being so tight. There
are three candidates for Mayor. The
Republican candidate, Ryan, is hardly
satisfactory to large portion of his
party. Mccarthy, the Union Labor
candidate, is at outs with some of the
unions, though very strong. Taylor,
the Democratic candidate, is the only
one of the three who will be able to
restore confidence and help out the
financial condition.
THE business men of the city figure !
that through the split in the Republi- !
can and Union Labor parties, it may be ,
possible to get enough votes to elect !
him, but the outlook is very doubtful.
there are going to be hard times in San
Francisco. The Eastern capitalists will
not loan money to those putting up
buildings there unless they have the as
'urance of more settled political con-
litions.
'tThere is little going on in San
lone in the local stock exchange than
n that of San Francisco. Everything
$ tight, and those who started to erect
buildings and have not enough money
o complete them, are finding that they
annot get the capital necessary. This
situation is naturally being felt here,
nd, with the election of Mccarthy or ]
Ryan, will lbeeome worse than ever"

Coffee: There have been no arrivals
of Hawaiian coffee to this market, since
our last advices, while the availa ble
stock today consists of say 80 bags.
Locally small stocks in second hands
and a further hardening tendency in
all markets resulted in a continue ton
during September of the unusually ac-
tive demand noted in our previous cir
cular The deliveries from first hands
for the past three months have ag-
gregated $4,000 bags, which has reduc-
ed importers holdings to less than 49,
600 bags and requirements will doubt
less absorb these prior to the arrival
in quantity of new crop. This liberal
buying and reduction of stock has
caused an advance in prices of from
Lee. to Sac. during the month, current

washed at sc. to 914c. The advance
applies to all grades with The excep-
ton of the lowest classes. These have
not participated in the advance and
have been neglected, even at former
selling values, due in a measure to the
lower offerings from Brazil and COM

station Of Pearl Harbor, enable herself
not only TO beat off any attacking fleet
but TO also prevent it from going to
the coast at all, owing to the lack of
a coaling and repair base. But Mr..
Smith said that the government is
getting ready to make Hawaii the Nal
ia of the Pacific; that engineers are
laying out the ground for large defen-
sive works, and that a naval station
has been acquired by condemnation.
The United States garrison is being
slowly increased and the militia has
reached a high degree of efficiency.
According to Mr.. Smith there are, how
ever, $1,000 japanese, including women
and children, working on the island, |
and among these are many thousands of |
veteran troops. At the instigation of |
the Federal government, an effort has !
been made to locate all the arms in the |
islands and but few have been found !
in the hands of the AsIaties. Mr.. Smith |
went on to say that, should war come,
Japan, which is always prepared for
any emergency, would undoubtedly
land arms in large quantities to be
used BY these laborers, but if peace
can be kept for two years, Hawaii will
be in shape to defend herself from at
tack and to guarantee her own domestic
peace.
In response to a question as to the
future prospects of Hawaii, Mr.. Smith
said: "About the future we are some

census there were less than 5000 white

ROBERT THOMSON, Cashie,

We are only old once. There
fore, we should travel towards
old age by the right ronte, so
that when we reach old age we
will be prepared to live comfort
ably and happily.
1t is a good plan to save
something as we go along in life.
The time to save is while we are
earning. Save something during
your working days. You will
want an income to live on when
your powers are on the decline.
The average man has agreat
many years in which he earns
more than he should spend. If
you will lay aside a little each
year, you will soon have a con-
siderable sum saved.
Keep your savings in the
