The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-09-16

The above are few extracts from
the remarkable address made yester-
day noon before the Commercial Club
by NJ 0. Leighton, Chief photographer
of the United States. Mr.. Leighton
said some things that have been said
before, but he said them in new way
and made an unanswerable answer to
some of the claims that have been
made by the element that has diseour-
aged the effort to people the land with
an American citizenship. The speaker
confessed that he came here with a
badly warped prejudice against home
steads in this country. But during the
weeks that he has been in Hawaii, he
has put in most of his time travelling
around the Territory, and has seen
more of it than most people ever have
the opportunity to see. And his opin-
ions have changed.
Mr.. Leighton was seated at the
round table with Governor Frear,
Judge Dole, Judge Woodruff, Superin-
tendent Campbell, w. C. Mendenhall,
the underground water expert; For
ester Hosmer and E. C. Brown, presi-
dent of the Commercial Club. He was
introduced by President Brown, and
read the following carefully prepared
address:
No good business man would oper-
ate a mercantile establishment year
after year without taking account of
stock; no successful manufacturer
would sell or contract to deliver a sea-
son s product of his factory unless he
had a thorough knowledge concerning
the supply of raw material entering
into that product. These are self evil
dent truths Why then should ter
ritory the bone and sinew of which
is made up of hard headed business
men expect to continue to roll up an
immense snow ball representing agri-
cultural success, when very little is
known concerning the most necessary
raw material, namely watera
This Territory is accustomed to
agricultural success, which is the same
thing as saying that you have had
sugar prosperity. Therefore, when l
say that you lack knowledge concern
ing water supplies, you may be justified
IN pointing to your sugar crop returns
and announcing that you are getting
along pretty well without such knowl-
edge So you are, but can you tell
me how much sugar failure you have
had because of your lack of that
knowledge! How many acres have
been abandoned because of lack of
waters How many more acres would
be planted if water were available
How much greater would have been
your annual crops had all the lands a

extend into transportation as they dc
into everything else You must have
the railroads in advance of traffic. The
only way to secure them is to guar
antee the interest on the construction
bonds
The third transportation difficulty is
the lack of harbors. 1t costs heap
of money to tranship freight by small
boat from shore to steamer. 1t is a
very familiar saying among transporta-
ton men that it costs very little to
turn the wheels of car or of steam
ship after you have once delivered the
freight on board but the major part
of the charge is the transhipment and
terminal charge. Harbors are neces-
sary and the steamers should be able
to 90 to docks to receive and discharge
their freight. Fewer and better land
ings. enormous freights, better service
and lower charges would result.
The Territory would profit greatly
by an increase in interisland traffic.
Productive trade relations should al
WAYS begin at home. You can not ex-
pect to serve the world markets with
diversified products until you are sue
cssful in serving each other. You have
great home demands which you could
supply yourselves but which are now
served by imports. The fault does not
lie in the lack of productive soil, but
in the fact that it is cheaper to serve
the local markets with supplies from
San Francisco than from your own
fields. Transportation is the prevent
i've. The company that maintains in
terisland transport service should have
volume of traffic sufficient to oper'
ate at least thirty boats. Railroads on
the islands will surely produce such a
traffic. This fact has been demon
strated elsewhere so many times that
the proposition needs no argument. Blu;
in order to accomplish this at an early
date your railroads must precede youI
traffic.

\ REALLY LIVE QUESTION.

The Glynn county commissioner
are going to meet again this morning
and We desire respectfully to call their
attention to a subject matter knocking
at their doors for consideration.
The proposed speedway from sa-
vannah 10 jacksonville Is to our mind
one Of the most important matters
touching Brunswick's material growth
anu welfare mat her people have mad
to consider FOR years. 1t is a con-
ceded fact that the automobile is TO-
day in it's infancy. II there is one
proposition gradually growing upon
the minds Of men OF affairs today it
IS this attractive means OF transport
tation. Like the bicycle in its balrny
times the automobile is today a lux
ury and only people of wealth can az
ford to use them, but the time is not
distant when the automobile. like the
bicycle, will come into reach of men
OF wages and the man of limited cap
ital. For that reason this means of
transportation is bound to become
popular and when this road is finally
constructed 1t will place Brunswick
upon the main line of great drive
way from Savannah to Jacksonville.
We do not believe we go too far when |
Sfe claim that tine construction OF !
his speedway would be worth as
much TO Brunswick and Glynn county
as a new railroad line. Passengers

unction points do not generally re-
move from their train. They may buy

point on this speedway,

OLD WARFARE AND NEW.


The disappearance of the war
cloud from the Balkan peninsula is
doubtless puzzling on those people
whose reflections ON the subject are
guided by reading of history. A cen
fury or two ago war was the chronic
condition, and many people have
drawn their ideas about It from the
history of Europe during the times
of Frederick the Great Charles the
Great and other wages of war. The
conditions then were favorable for t.
All a potentate had to do was to
gather his army. announce that open
ings were to be had by all brands Of
saughters. organize and march his
fighters into the territory of the enc
my and live off the innocent and I'M
offending inhabitants When one dis
trict was robbed and ravaged to pow
erty and no longer afforded the nee
essary subsistence, all that had to be
done was to march into another re-
eion not strong enough TO repel the
invasion and live off that till 1t was
exhausted The real reason for the
end of the Thirty Years War was
the exhaustion of the territories in
which the armies unanswered,
When there were no more rich cit
les to be ransomed or plundered. no
more farms to be raided, no more
rich estates to be spoilated. the ar
mics disbanded and war came to an
end until the common people had
time to raise enough stuff and ac-
quire enough wealth to make IL again
an object.
But gradually things changed.
With the consolidation of small king
doms and estates into powerful en-
pires there began to be established
some rules and regulations for war.
II became less and less a system of
legalized highway robbery and more
and more a struggle between armies.
i Instead of living off the countries in
which they operated, these armies had
to be paid and fed and housed and
clothed by the nations which kept
them in the field. This shifting OF
the burden has continued until now
the condition of the exchequer or the
credit of nation has more to do with
its ability to wage war than the condi-
ton or numbers OF its armies. 1t can
no longer enroll multitudes of free
hooters at no direct cost, because
treehootng has been discontinued.
At the conclusion of a war the de-
teated nation must pay an indemnity
TO the victor to compensate for the
expense of administering a licking.

ACCUSED NOTED BURGLAR
WHEN THE MANS LEG WAS RE-

THE STATION HOUSE.

Buffalo, N. Y, May S.--Captain Gill
ligan, of the Third precinct station.
exercised keen detective instinct
when he caused Arthur Phillips to I'M
strap his cork leg the other night, for
in the interior of this receptacle were
found silverware, laces and other arti-
cles taken in the afternoon from a
boarding house conducted by Mrs. E.
bearing, in Franklin street.
Phillips is said to be a noted cork
legged burglar who has travelled all ov-
er the country.
Early one evening Mrs. bearing re-
ported to the police that while she was
at the theatre during the afternoon a
burglar entered her home and with du
plicate keys succeeded in ransacking
the house from cellar to garnet.
Mrs. bearing said that at noon one
legged man had called and asked
about a room. She told him she was
too busy to attend to him. as she was
going to the theatre, and asked him to
call again. Phillips, or somebody, did
call again, because when she returned
most Of her silverware, some lace
waists and other articles of value had
disappeared.
Suspecting her visitor, the police in
stituted a search for cork legged
man. and Phillips was the victim.
When the leg was taken of the con-
tents rolled over the floor of the sta
ton house.
Mrs. bearing reported the follow
ing property stolen: Six silver knives
and forks, six silver spoons, six silver
table spoons, silver soup ladle, salad
fork, brown suit case containing
broadcloth suit, Irish point lace waist
trimmed with gold braid and blue vel
vet and gold buttons and gold brace
let set with brilliants.
Patrolmen Mcdonald and Miller saw
Phillips hobbling along in the red
light district. He was carrying lit
tie package which later proved to be a
stolen shirt waist. The patrolmen ar
rested him.
Phillips was stripped. His cork leg
was removed and inside were found
the silverware and jewelry that had
been stolen.
Phillips is about twenty-five years
old and says he came here from Scran-
ton, Pa. Headquarters men who looked
him over at the station say he has
been in Buffalo for some time. They
never suspected him Of being burg
lar, however.
