Maui Magnate on Coffee

Especial to the Bulletin.

Puunene, Maui, April 5--Hon. II.
j. Baldwin whose experience in the
agricultural industries of the Islands
is second to none was asked today by
the Blu lletin representative for n
brief review of the agricultural enter.
priscs OF the Territory with special
view to the development Of Maui.
Mr.. Baldwin has been intimately
associated with the progress of the
sugar Industry and Is reputcd To be n
man of great wealth but he has al.
ways been a tremendous worker. He
has worked in the fields, he has done
everything there Is to do in the way
of manual labor. He was born and
raised in Hawaii aud Is a splendid
reputation Of the idea that the "trop.
lcal' climate OF Hawaii takes theS
energy out of white men.
Mr.. Baldwin in talking Of agricul.
ture took up the various possibilities
in detail. Although talking at random
he had each industry thoroughly
sketched out before he passed on to
the next one. OF course sugar was
first in mind aud in this connection
Mr.. Baldwin said:
Some varieties Of sugar cane are
Indigenous on Maui and on the other
Islands. In very early days, before
animals were allowed to roam at
large, these indigenous varieties grew
on the slopes of Haleakala, especially
on the Hama and windward side of
the Island.
THE sugar industry did not amount
to much on the Islands, until about
1860. The price of sugar went up
very much at that time in conse.
qucnce Of the Civil War, and new
were started throughout
the Islands. Previous to 1860, the
total crop Of tho Islands amounted ;

ever, to plant sisnl in my opinion, as

finally abandoned the industry after
spending several thousand dollars

among the lantana, and may In time
even choke 1t out. There are these

During the seventies, the larges
crop on the Islands up to that time
was takcB-off on Maui at the Plonee
Mill Co, Lahaina, and amounted t,
1000 tons. This, at that time, wal
considered an enormous crop. TIL,
crops Of most of the plantations a
that time averaged from 500 to 9Ot
tons per annum.
The total crop on Maui In 1906
was lO296O tons, of which amour,
7G,5O2 tons were shipped from Kahu

There Is still further opportunity
for expansion in the sugar business
ON Maui, though to what extent It is
difficult to say.
Coffee Industry.

been very successful owing largely
TO the high price of labor. Tho coffee

A Utilities Lesson Soon Taught.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has put ginger into the Electric
Railway Commission. BY requesting
the two local traction systems to pro
vide it with the information those cor
Iporations have declined to furnish the
board on street railways, it gives the
latter body full character as an au-
thorized agent, TO be sustained without
hens and haws. Out of the present
conditions, therefore, conditions which
once threatened to make the Electric
Railway Commission practically impo-
tent, il is not impossible some effective
supervision over our traction lines may
be obtained
But what has occurred Is more than
enough to uncover the weakness of the
compromise adopted at the last session
of Congress. The Interstate Commerce
Commission cannot properly be bur
dened with the supervision Of municipal
car lines This, no matter if some of
those lines do cross the boundaries Of
the District. The Commission Is already
overwOrked. 1t Is inconceivable that
the Congressional committees thought
otherwise, and the only conclusion seusi-
bic under the premises-whe the ar
rangement was proposed as well as
in the light Of what has happened
Irecently-is that those who orr .sed
staightout control expected -this extra
authority to be substantially inopera-
tive.
WHAT the District needs is control
Of its public service corporations on
the level-control without going round
any corners. 1t is probable there Is not
enough work to warrant the creation
Of special board of this character.
But there is mquestionably too much
work for the Interstate Commerce
Commission 10 do, even If our street
railways lay within its rightful field,
which they do not. y vastly better
CONSEQUENTLY, all things considered,
the very best cou-se-would be TO in
trust this responsibility to that body
whieh is responsible for the general
good government of the District, which
now has authority over every other
kind of vehicle, which, while it should
have authorit, to employ experts TO
cope with technical problems, wotId
yet not need to delegate its powers.
We mean, Of course, the Board Of Dis
trict Commissioners.
The Washington times., 1908-07-24
Two District Appointments.

By the selection of Surveyor Rich
ards to be District Assessor, the Com
missioners have taken step which
may very reasonably advantage the
local government for many years to
come. 1t is not too much to say that
the Board of Assessors has not held
the unqualified confidence Of Washing
ton property owners. There has been
much adverse criticism of its personnel
and more of its indings-this beyond
that dissatisfaction which must be eX-
pected to center on any board with
power virtually TO levy taxes
The new Assessor is known among
these very property owners as an Off
cial not afraid to do his duty, thor
oughly honest and straightforward,
abundantly competent as an admins
traitor. What lies before him to do In
his new post he did once before under
much the same circumstances when
he took hold of an antiquated Sur
veyor's Office and set it to rights, to
the subsequent admiration of practical
~ every citizen who has had business
TO transact there.
The Commissioners now have another
appointment TO make. They must
choose a successor to Mr.. Richards as
Surveyor. The need here Is TO interrupt
as little as possible the machine smooth
ness with which this bureau has been
run. 1t would never have done to pun
ish Mr.. Richards for his efficiency by
refusing to promote him But it viii
hardly do any better to punish Dis
trict property owners by disturbing
avoidably the department which Mr..
Richards has put in such prime running
order. The Commissioners manifested
both courage and fine judgment as to
the first vacancy. There Is every rea-
son to expect them TO do the same as
to the second.
The Washington times., 1908-07-24
Names and Art.

An American gallery possessed an
original Rousseau. 1t was wonder
ful painting, but not more so than
others hung near, though not half so
much noticed. The trustees sold the
Rousseau and bought with the pro
Iceeds seventeen paintings by American
artists, all of them worthy OF close
study, all inspirations TO an appreeia
.tion of nature, all of Unquestioned art
Equality, although no one of them, per
haps, was so consUmmate a creation as
the original which was displaced. But
and here Is the point-not only was
the whole corps of Yankee artists
heartened by the exchange, but the art
usefulness of the gallery was vastly
widened.
Not long ago this same gallery de-
tected that certain of its other originals
were spurious OF their art value no
one had the slightest doubt. Their beau
ty was manifest. 1t was the signatures
which were doubtful. So the batch was
sold, and in their places-here is the
second point-were hung an equal num-
Der of other paintings, undoubtedly
genuine, but Of distinctly less artistic
worth
An original by Hans Memlincll has
just been purchased for the Louvre for
$4,000. Another, supported by docu-
mentary evidence, was put up by an
American auctioneer a little while be-
fore. 1t brought only S2,I25. It is
inconceivabIe that between them lay
any such difference in art value as
their selling prices would indicate. The
variance was due to the fact that in
Europe Afemlinck is more a name to
coniure with than in America.
The lesson underlying these three in
cidents is plain. 1t is that Originals
and art value are often far apart, and
that the tendency Is to make our mod
Iern galleries art museums before they
iare- 2rt collections TIL true interest in
"a Reynolds, a Constable, a David, a
Gerome, a Monet, does not stop with
the name. The signature is only a
signpost, indicating that on the canvas
are to he seen certain craftsman char
lacteristics. If those manifestations OF
talent, of special ability, of genius, ii
may be, are present the value of the
picture is clear. If they are not pres
ent, the pictures lack Of value ought
] to be no less clear. And until the Hen
