DOCTRINE OF GOOD TINES"

Neither dishonorablc Knockers nor
malicious campaigners can check the
steady progress of this Territory and
this city.
The money is coming into local
Golfers from the largest crop ever
produced from the lands Of Hawaii
The Federal Government has inaug-
urated a program of development
from which there is no turning aside.
The good times" is just around
the corner, according to the conserv-
atiyes. The optimists believe 1t Is
already here. Only an act of God
can prevent speedy realization on
that asset-Hawaii's inevitable des-
tiny-which has been the bulwark
of patriotic faith for more than two
generations.
The people are justified in assum-
ing ''good-times" atmosphere in all
matters, for, as Mr.. Grinbaum has
preached to the Fort-street delega-
tions, There is nothing like good
times and prosperity to attract tour
lists and people who have money to
circulate.

SHIPPING LAWS AND HAWAII.

Should Hawaii be merry or mad
over the news of the House having
passed Delegate Kuhio's shipping
bill?
Preferably merry, under all cir
cumstances.
II Is great misfortune, however,
that the greatest legislative body of
The greatest nation on earth should
70 far forget the Nations commercial
future rs to refuse legislation that
VIII restore our Flag on the high
seas.
We assume that the readiness OF
the House to pass the Delegates
shipping hill for the relief of Hawaii
may be interpreted as decision to
Nil the mail-subsidy bill. A decent
regard for Americas future in this
ocean should cause the passage of
the mail-subsidy bill and also the
suspension of the coastwise laws so
lar as passengers between our Island
ports and the mainland are concern
cd, But this seems too much to ex-
pect, The interior statesmen and
foreign-ship lobby are too strong.
To remove the penalty for the
crime Of travelling on steamer fy-
ing foreign flag is an act of COM
mon justice A people marooned in
their own country present a ridicu-
lous spectacle, in addition to the 9TH
er discomforts of such a condition.
Common justice for the people of
Hawaii is appreciated. 1t would be
more gratifying If Congress could
see its way clear to deal similarly
with the merchant marine of the
United States of America.

WOOD SUGGESTS
Continued from Page y

The last edition of MIR. Jared G.
Smiths pamphlet. Agriculture In Ha.
waii," Just issued by the Promotion
Committee, which we have sent for
review to every agricultural paper
published in the United States and
Canada, is certain to create greatly
increased interest in the opportunities
offered by Hawaii for the growing Of
pineapples, bananas, mangoes, citrus
fruits, grapes, alligator pears, cocoa.
nuts, rubber, tobacco, etc.
Now what is the best way to influ
ence some of these desirable home
builders to come to Hawaii? After
carefully considering the matter, /
would recommend that q special com
mittee be appointed to confer with
the Territorial Board of immigration
in regard to the matter. The plan
would suggest is to provide first
fund of say five thousand ls5O0O.OO)
dollars, and then to enter into CORES.
pondence with Hon. James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture, who, / feel
assured, will be In hearty sympathy
with the movement, asking him to re.
quest each of the State Farmers In
stitutes of Oregon, Kansas. Minneso-
ia, Ohio, Massachusetts, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin,
to select practical, successful farmer
to make a trip to Hawaii for the pur.
pose of investigating opportunities in
agriculture at our expense. The ten
men so selected to meet at San Fran
cisco, at n given date, leaving for Ho.
nolulu by the same steamer and to be
accompanied by two or three repre-.
sentatives of the Agricultural Depi.,.
ment specialists in viticulture, horti-
culture ana agriculture.
At least two months should be spent
in Hawaii by this party of investiga-
ton in order that the opportunities Of
every island and every district may be
noted and studied, the result of the
Investigations to be published in a
special bulletin by the Agricultural
Department, which, believe, would
gladly welcome the opportunity OF
placing before the public the conclu.
slons of such representative body
of men. We have nothing to conceal
and everything to gain from such pub.
licity. ,....-,-
Our enterprise in arranging for such
n trip would attract general attention
and the published reports of the con-
illusions of the ten practical farmers,
men of standing and influence in their
respective communities, could not but
prove of distinct advantage and would
undoubtedly result in our receiving
visits In the near future from hun.
dreds of moderately well-to.do people.
A smaller party of Investigation
would, of course, be less expensive
and would accomplish much good but
would not serve to advertise the ad.
vantages and attractions of Hawaii so
eifectually as the number first sug-
gested. In fact. II the funds were
available, would rather increase the
number Of States directly represented
to fifteen or twenty rather than cut
down the number.
Many other ideas in connection with
the matter will suggest themselves to
you but | will not, at this time, at
tempt anything more than presenting
the plan, hoping that 1t may receive
your careful consideration.
