Excellent PRESIDING Officer.

Mr. Meyer was graduated from llar-
ward IN 1879. just year before lheo-
dore Roosevelt received his diploma
from the same institution. Mr.. Meyer
went into business. With his family
backing and prestige, not forgetting
the accompanying cash, his way was

and became member OF the MasSa-
chusetts Legislature for several terms
In 1894 the young legislator was elect
ed speaker of the house. He made an
excellent record as a presiding officer.
1t is said of him that he expedited
business with unusual ability aud tact.
After his long service in city and
state legislative bodies Mr.. Meyer was
selected by President Mckinley in
1900 to go TO Italy as ambassador His
wealth and his wide experience in so
c!al functions among the upper ten

his own and maintain Uncle Sans

| ~ the development of the pineapple
| industry, make very gratifying
showing. The increase for the nine
month period is from s194,614. in
1906 to $339,161. for this year. For
the month of September alone the in
crease is from S6l,S29. in 1906 TO
S1j2.322, for September, 1907.
In reference to the ports through
which the goods pass the Pacific
Coast is holding its own, and New
York seems to take a large share OF
the increase. San Francisco is not
holding up to its mark OF handling n
million dollars month for Hawaii,
the Puget Sound ports having appar-
entity drawn some of the San Fran
cisco trade. The total for the Coast,
however, remains larger. New York
has advanced from handling s79,762.
for the nine months of last year, to
1,233.491. for this year. These fig
ures show to what extent the Tehuan-
tepeC route has detected the trade
which otherwise would be handled
over the transcontinental routes and
through the Pacific Coast ports.

HAWAIrS INCREASING TRADE.

The figures that do not lie continue
to tell the story of the progress Of
this Territory.
The statistics of our trade with
the mainland for the month of Sep
TENDER last and the comparative fig
ures for the nine months ending with
that date are contained in the latest
statistical summary of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor.
There was an increase of over six
ty thousand dollars in the shipments
to the Islands for the month of Sep
TENDER. The increase for the nine
month period of 1907 compared with
1906 is more marked and runs up to
more than two millions of dollars.
The figures for the total trade are
$11,107,9S0. for the nine months
ending with September of this year.
For the same period last year the to-
tai was $S,962,4 400. and for the 1905
period $S,SS0,630.
The movement of our shipments to
the mainland do not SHOW the rela-
tive Increase which a record sugar
crop might presuppose. The total for
the nine-month period Is S26,SOO,-
142., which Is not quite a million
more than last year. This can prob
ably be accounted for by the delayed
shipments of the sugar crop this year.

CHURCH COMMENT.

The Blu letin is reliably in
ing charge levied upon the head of
the Hawaiian Congregation. or any
other congregation, of the Episcopal
Church for the use of church prop
erty which appeared in Saturday
comment of this paper, is entirely
without foundation. Rev. Mr.. Simp>
son states that he rents his rooms OF
outside parties and no charge is made
Tor the use of church property.
Regardless of the truth or falsity
of the assertion and comment, the
b u e / II is entirely out of SYM
pathy with the sentiments that
prompt this or any similar nagging
in church affairs. Had the matter
come under the observation Of the ed
itOr, IL would not have been publish
ed for the simple reason that this pa
per is not to be used knowingly to
air the petty troubles of church ad-
ministratiOn.
We believe that the church leaders
in this city of all denominations are
working with an honest purpose and
in kindly spirit to help their fell
lOwmen. They doubtless make mis-
takes. This is the lot of all hu-
manity. And, under any circum-
stances, errors cannot be cured by an
exhibition of the degree to which
some parishioners can depart from
Biblical teachings.
