always been lovers of nature. One
would think that in the midst of this
beauty the people of Hama ought to
be the best in the world. They ought
to be so good that they would not
need all those fine policemen, or the
judge. or even the minister. But we
all need law and its officers to regu-
late our conduct, ministers of religion
to teach us righteousness and educa-
ton to improve our minds and enable
US to make an honest living.
''Your people were once oppressed by
their rulers and by the. tauu system.
They could not hold property. The
kings and chiefs took it from them and
made them fight their fellowmen. But
it was not always SO bad. Your tradi-
tions tell you that once on Oahu, five
hundfed years ago, there was a king
who was good king. mat King maae
the people give their frstborn to him
so that he might educate them. He
taught them religion. not the religion
of human sacrifice, but genuine reli-
gion which makes people better. And
he encouraged them to become indus
trious. So prosperous did the people
of Oahu grow under this good king
that the PEOPLE of Maui became en-
vious OF the people of Oahu and sent
chiefs with warriors down there to see
if they could not get some of their
wealth. But they found that the peO-
pie of Oahu with all their goodness
could fight, and they beat the people
of Maui out.
Kamehameha I. did not have the
advantages you people have, but he
was a good King. He made laws so
that it was safe for people to 90 from
one place to another in these islands.
1t was LONG after Kamehameha S day
when you people had the advantages of
churches. schools and the printing press.
Kauikeaouli had not much learning,
but he gave the people laws, a con-
stitution and legislature, and taught
them to govern themselves. Since then
the people have had their rights-the
right to govern themselves and to get
wealth.
''There is a great future for these
islands. They are in the center of the
ocean and they are going to become
more and more important as popula-
ed States is going to protect them and
through them the Pacific Coast. The
United States is going to spend mil
lions here to make good harbors.

Campbell the need of a steam derrick
at the place. Just at this time an ac-
cident happened which perhaps We uld
have been prevented with better land
ing facilities. A cask dropped upon
the leg of a japanese sailor and when
he was brought aboard it was found
the limb was broken just above the
ankle. There was a slight confusion
of the skin which was bleeding. DR..

clean break that would not be hard
to heal, and the steamer took the Jap

lovely breakfast was the happies
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 H. C. & S
Co, had three automobiles at the gate
for a trip to smill 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 4414312 tons, with
| 1900 tons from Kihei cane besides. The
H. C. & S. Co. s crop was from about
5494 acres. Extraction is close to 90
per cent in Puunene mill.
Mr.. Searby, superintendent; Mr.. Saw
age. chemist, and Mr.. Tougher, sugar
boiler of the mill, were introduced to
F. 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 country's colonies.
An ascent was made to the cupola
of the mill, 100 feet from the ground,
where bIrdseye view of the whole
vast plantation is obtainable. Half a
dozen or more plantations are also in
the prospect, and in fact practically
the entire "isthmus" separating East
from West Maui.
There is a tennis ground in large
square in front of the plantation of
fee. and the elder Mr.. Baldwin stated
that a dancing pavilion was to be
erected
From the mill an automobile ride
was taken clear to the top of the plan
tation. From there. the ocean is in
sight on both sides of the isthmus, and
looking east the Grove Ranch lands,
the Omaupio homesteads. the Halea-
kala Ranch lands, the famous Kula
farming region and J. P Cooke s noun
tain retreat, "Kulamanu are includ-
ed in a grand panorama stretching
across the slopes of Haleakala.
Hon. H. P. Baldwin pointed out to
Governor Frear certain homesteading
lands-gOod for pineapples and diver
sified agriculture generally-which his
interests offer to exchange for public
lands which can be made to grow cane
with the ditch extension. An eX-
change between Haiku Sugar Co. with
the Government for the Honomanu
lands is one of the things proposed.
Mr.. Pratt regards the proposal favor
ably provided an equitable agreement
is reached

WHAT IS LOCAL OPTION?
By Edward Everett Hale, d. D.. IL. D,

tLocal option" has been and is
spoken of as if the two words meant.
h course, something about drinking.
n one place an optionist is man who
wants an l o'clock. or an eyeopener;
ia the other place be is man who
wants his water straight and filtered.
There is much danger that q great
principle of government may be neg
Iected by such careless talk.
Local option gives to the people of
the town. or even of county. sort
of responsibility in the management of
their own affairs, which can be gained
in no other way. What makes the
difference between neat. clean village
in Switzerland, and the God -forsaken
dirt and denominations of other parts
of Europe. which could be easily
named, but local option?

public square. my town hall. am

why. the knight of the shire or the
squire or the baron may take care of
it. If he takes my money, why. he
may see to the pavements.
You can not make the writer's in
