THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.

The Robesonian has refrained |
from saying anything on the
question of State prohibition
on which an election will be
held on the 20 of next month
because it has no seen no cry
ing need for shouting itself
hoarse about the matter. 1t be-
lieves that the better and surer
way is for each community to
settle this question for itself,
and 1t was opposed to the ques-
ton being submitted to the
people in this way, but when
you cannot get a thing the way
you want it you had best take
it the way you can get it. and
since the matter of how we get
it is eliminated it narrows down
to being for prohibition or
against, and The RObesonian
hopes that such majority will
be piled up for prohibition at
this election that the question
will never be agitated in this
State again. Robson county
will past question do her part
towards bringing about this
deyoutly-to-be-wished consum-
nation. She has been dry for
twenty years and it has proven
such a good thing for her that
it has ceased to be a question,
so far as it applies locally, but
there are some people who
are opposed to the proposed
law for some reasons that
would not apply locally
We hope they will be able to
overcome their objections and
will go to the polls and vote fol-
prohibition.
But there are two sides tt
every question, and while Thu

side of prohibition, it feels con

On cabled instructions from Wash

Federal Court against Lo Sun, the
Chinese editor, is to be dropped and
the defendant granted his right to re-
main on American soil and continue in
his profession, The ruling of the De-
partment at Washington, under which
the discontinuance of the case comes.
is a complete reversal of the former
rulings and will have a far-reaching
influence, one that will make the Lo
Sun case famous one among those
responsible for the enforcement of the
Exclusion Act. It is a legal somer-
sault of which Lo Sun gets the benefit
and which throws the burden of proof
upon the authorities to show that any
Chinese whom they would deport are
laborers and relieves the ones under
danger of deportation from having to
pro'te that they belong to the very
limited exempted class. It also estab-
dishes clearly the status of an editor
provisions of the law.
This ruling of the department is co.
incidental with the arrival of the new
Chinese Minister, WI Ting Fang, at
Washih z-ton and comes, beyond doubt,
as result of the presentation of the
Lo Sun case TO him at the time he
passed through Honolulu a few weeks
ago. 1t shows, also, that the new
Minister has pull at Washington not
possessed by his predecessor.
District Attorney Breckons yester-
day refused to discuss the report that
direct instructions regarding the dis
position of the case had been received
by him from Washington, but confirm
ed the report to the extent of announc-
ing that when the case is called on
Saturday morning next he will, with
out comment or explanation, move
that it be discontinued.

This work was commended by Minister
Wu, who expressed the hope that while
the young Chinese of Hawaii would
attend the public schools and educate
in English, they would not
neglect the educating of themselves at
the same time in Chinese.
The Minister went to the length of
suggesting the possibility of the Chi
nese government assisting the bright

public schools to continue their Chi /

youths might return to China as lead |

them on the trees a long time-three
rently ripe Mr.. Baldwin attributed the
mellow character of the juice that his
guests relished and praised.
On the subject of fruits Mr. Baldwin
uttered alarm for the fate of tree
growth in general on Maui, because of
some new blight that is infesting ohia
and koa trees. It had been reported
that kukui trees also had begun to be
smitten. He hoped that the govern
ment entomologists would not much
longer delay giving serious attention to
this pest, which is a menace not only
to the forests and orchards of Maui
but to those of the other islands.
Mrs. Baldwin most gracefully per-
formed the part of hostess, adding
greatly by her amiability to the un-
affected efforts of her husband to make
the party feel entirely at home. "That
lovely breakfast was the happiest
topic the rest of the day among the
guests whenever the spending of the
first morning on Maui was mentioned.
Shortly after breakfast Frank f..
Baldwin, manager of the III. G. & s.
Co., had three automobiles at the gate
for "a trip to mill and fields. Both the
twin grinding plants were receiving in
their titanic jaws a steady feed of
cane The mill is turning out about
$50 tons of sugar day of twenty-four
hours, and both the mill warehouses
and the shipping ones at Kahului are
fairly choked with the output. Last
years crop was 44143A tons, with
1900 tons from Kihei cane besides The
HI. C. & s. Co. s crop was from about
5494 acres. Extraction is close to 96
per cent in Puunene mill.
Mr. Searby, superintendent; Mr.. Saw
age. chemist, and Mr.. Tougher, sugar
boiler of the mill, were introduced to
the Governor and party. Ingenious cane
unloaders, consisting of mechanical
claws, are used to transfer the loads
from the ears to the feed travelling
belts The machine was invented by
Mr.. Wicks of Olaa plantation and is
made at the Honolulu Iron Works. A
request for it has come from Germany,
for use in that eountry's colonies.
An ascent was made to the cupola
of the mill, 100 feet from the ground,
where blrdseye view of the whole
vast plantation is obtainable. Half
dozen or more plantations are also in
the prospect, and in fact practically
the entire isthmus" separating East
from West Maui
There is tennis ground in a large
square in front of the plantation of
fee. and the elder Mr.. Baldwin stated
that dancing pavilion was to be
erected.

was taken clear to the top of the PLAN

The arrangements for the return of
the Japanese 1epers at Molokai to their
native land have all been made, and
they are expected to arrive here by
the Iwalani on Sunday morning and
be transferred to the Japanese steam
ship Kasato Maru and sail for Japan.
The arrangements were made on be-
half of the japanese government by
Consul General Mkt Saito, and the
action of the Territorial officials has
the approvaE of the government at
Washington.
The movement to send these 1epers
to their native land came about
through the action of the japanese
people of the islands, and that was
based on the fact that Japan has re-
Gently decided to segregate the lepers
in her own country and to provide for
them in leper hospitals. The commit
tee that was formed among the Japa-
nese to raise funds for the purpose
and carry it out, presented the mat
ter to the Board of Health The Board
of Health would not consent to any
thing except upon the approval of
the japanese government, and the
making of arrangements for the trans
portation of these people to Japan.
The Japanese government by a cable
to Consul General Mkt Saito announc-
ed it's willingness that these subjects
who We're suffering from leprosy and
were in the Leper Settlement at Mo-
lokai should be returned to their ma
tive land Notice of this was sent to
Washington and the approval of the
Washington government was secured.
Yesterday A. L. c. Atkinson on be-
half of the Japanese, and President
Pinkham of the Board of Health, sent
wireless message to J. d. McVeigh,
the superintendent of the settlement,
President Pinkham authorizing him to
send the seven Japanese 1epers to Ho-
nolulu by the Iwlani. A message was
also sent to the Iwalani at Maui au-
thorizing the master of that vessel
to receive the lepers. So they are
expected on Sunday morning.
Arrangements in the meanwhile have
been made with the master of the
Kasato Maru to receive them on his
ship and transport them to Japan.
In addition to the seven Japanese
there is one Korean at the settlement
who will also be taken back to his
native land if wireless eommunica-
ton can be established in time with
the Iwalani. In addition there is a
Japanese woman at the Kalihi Receiv-
ing Station. who recently came TO the

among the Japanese that one Of the
effects of this action will be to bring
any Japanese Iepers there may be in
hiding, out of their hiding, as they
will now know that they can be sent
home and will not have to go to Mo-
