INVITATION To
THE SCIENTISTS
Committee Complies Reasons
Why Honolulu Should
Be Chosen.

ST am very much interested in get
ting the American Association to meet
at Honolulu. 1 should like 80 be With
them there more than in any other
country in the world. I can not think
of any place within our boundaries
where the Association would be so
thoroughly delighted or find so much
to interest and instruct them as at Ho-
nolulu, with the opportunity for excur-
sions to HaleakaIa, on Maui; kilauea
and Hilo, on Hawaii; the Island OF
Kauai and the many other places OF
interest. The climate of Hawaii is as
nearly perfect as may be. The coral
reef, the volcano and the Aquarium
any of these would be alone reason
enough to make trip to Hawaii worth
while to the naturalist. The people
are hospitable to the highest degree,
the hotels are thoroughly excellent,
and there is everything to make this
trip red.letter day in the lives of any
of the scientific men who may find it
possible to attend. DIR. David Starr
Jordan.

CHINESE FIRE TENDER
FINDS ROOM ABLAZE

An opium smoking Chinese tender of
the fire in a poi factory in Palama,
opposite the depot, built up good
blaze under the taro bulbs last night
and lay down for smoke. When he
finished he discovered that the kitchen
was on fire. His cries of Fire -
caused on alarm to be sent IN from
box 50, but the fire department was
not needed, the blaze being extinguish-
ed with few buckets of water.

The above is one of great num-
Der of reasons to be presented to the
several hundred members of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science, soon to meet at Baltimore
for their winter meeting, why Homo
lulu should be selected by them as a
meeting place for their summer session
in 1910. The meeting place will be
chosen this month, and if Honolulu be
not selected it will not be because the
committee looking after the interest of
this place has not done good work or
furnished excellent reasons by eompe-
tent authorities for so choosing.
There reasons are to be presented to
the scientists in the compact form of
twelve-page folder, now just off the
press of the Gazette Company. There
are \ fourteen contributors to the
pamphlet and each of fourteen sub
jects is treated in a brief but COM
prehensive way by authorities. Gov
ernor Frear, under the heading of
Hawaii presents the first reason,
stating the advantages of Hawaii from
climatic, scenic, social and industrial
standpoints. This is followed by the
tribute to Hawaii by DIR. David Starr
Jordan, quoted above.
Other contributors, and the subjects
on which they write, are: DR.. G. II.
Perkins, State Geologist of Vermont,
on geology; H. L. Van Dine, on eli
matology; Jared G. Smith, on botany;
VIM A. Bryan, on zoology; DR.. R. G.
L. Perkins, on entomology; DR.. G.
Montague Cooke, Jr., on marine biol
ogy; DR.. w. T. Brigham, on the Bishop
Museum; Dr. E. V. Wilcox, on agri-
culture; Noel DEER, on industrial
chemistry; w. P. Kelley, on agricul-
tural chemistry; w. H. Babbitt, on ed
ucation, and DR.. L. E. Cofer, on sani-
tation.
The concise description of Hawaii
given by DIR. Perkins, from geolo-
gist's point of view, is one of the
most alluring bits in the publication.
He says:
''The Hawaiian Islands offer unusual
opportunities for study to the geologist.
From the day when approaching Homo
lulu. looking forward over the superb
blue of the Pacific, he is welcomed by
the old crater of Diamond Head until,
homeward- bound, he reluctantly turns
from the numberless craters, ash cones,
lava beds, strange cliffs and more
strange valleys and bids farewell to
the then familiar landmark, every hour
is full of lessons in world making.

crews working on the pearNng lug
gers are introduced under agreement
with the Federal government. They
are imported for period Of three
years. and the master is compelled
to furnish bond Of $500 for every
man employed, as a guaranty that
at the end OF three years that man
will be deported to Singapore. the
port from which the divers are re-
cruited. Formerly the pearlers paid
the divers $40 per month, 800 to

III. Farmer. Interest.

A Cadillac, Mich, reader of The Com.
moner writes: "The farmers should be
with us on the tariff and trust questions
Around here the farmers are getting -four
and one-half cents pound for hides
against eleven cents year ago. Yet the
price Of leather is as high as it was last
year and no immediate promise of a
reduction, and his shoes and harness are
costing him fully as much as aryear ago.
This year our farmers received fifteen
cents for wool against price Of twenty
four year ago, yet the American Wooden
Company that controls about 20 per cent

year ago and the farmer must pay as
much for his clothing as he did last year
and he is lucky If he does not get more

farmers and laborers that their interests
lie with us. Along that line lies the road

bashful. That bundle Of fabrication
and misrepresentation amongst other
things declares:
.Under the administrator of the Re
publican party the foreign commerce
of the United States has experienced a
remarkable growth, until 1t has pres
ent annual valuation Of approximately
three billions of dollars and gives en-
ployment to vast amount of labor
and capital which would otherwise be
Idle"
On that general declaration the New
York Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin says:
Now, whatever may have been the
influences which have contributed to
the development of our foreign Com
merce, the policy of the Republican
party is certainly not one of them. The
|protectionist theory contemplates the
absolute elimination of the import Of
products which the country does not
produce, and necessarily tends to the
hamperfng of the process Of commercial
exchange which, in the last analysis,
resolves itself into barter Compared
with the other great nations Of the
world the ratio OF our foreign trade to
population is certainly not Impressive,
by the way Of supplementing the
general claim that the Republican party
has fostered and promoted foreign
commerce, the assertion Is added that
1t has also ,inaugurated through the re-
cent visit of the secretary Of state to
South America and Mexico new era
of Pan-American commerce bringing us
into closer touch with our twenty Sis
ter American republics, and Offering us
"a llmitless field of legitimate CONNER
cial expansion The specific claim has
even less foundation than the general
one Eminehtly beneficial for the pro-
motion of better understanding be-
tween the United States and Latin
America, as the visits Of Secretary Root
unquestlonably were, they 'inaugurated'
nothing In the way of commercial In
litiative. not even the postal subsidies
which Mr.. Root SO urgently demanded"
The fact is that the tariff has been
a great barrier, which the South Amer
lean republics have found 1t almost Inn
possible to surmount In their trade
with us. The exception being the enor-
nous trade in coffee from Brazil and
without which the trade with that
country would be comparatively insig-
nificant
But then there is free trade In coffee
SO the Republicans can hardly claim
that the Republican policy of protection
has built up that trade
