will be an early solution OF the ques-
ton as TO whether the mill of the

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-12-11

Little Hawaii, before annexation,
yea even under the despised monar-
chy, subsidized the American mer-
chant marine. Did it handsomely, too,
considering its small wealth, compar-
ed with that Of today, and demands
upon it's revenues proportionately
greater than the present. Hawaii in
those days gave the Oceanic Steam
ship Company a subsidy of twenty-four
thousand dollars year, being one
thousand the round trip for the Ala
media and Mariposa sailing each once
a month from either end between Ho-
nolulu and San Francisco. These good
old boats-then the finest in the Pa
ciflc on this side, at arrived
with the regularity of ferryboats, ty-
ing up precisely as Lucas's Whistle
blew IL o'clock on the seventh day
out. They could do the trip quicker
as the Alameda does now on her three
week schedule, but there was no
hurry in those good old times and the
Spreckels people could save coal and
yet give satisfaction. When King
Calus would be aboard, coming on one
of his occasional visits, the little grey
hound was given its head under sus-
pension of the rules and then a quick
passage would be recorded.
After the Oceanic got the Colonial
mail contract twenty-three years ago,
the local schedule was reduced to a
four-week round trip while Honolulu
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-12-11

had the benefit of the through steam
ers in greater measure of considera-
ton than was enjoyed when the Pa
cifc Mail had that contract. The sub
sidy was continued, / forget in what
degree or arrangement.
1t has seemed to me that from Ha-
waits past example here mentioned
strong argument might be educed in
favor of a ship subsidy and, pending
sue hand its tangible results, the sus-
pension of the coastwise law. We can
say to the lawmakers of Washington
Before you took away the most lucra-
tive sources of our revenue, we subsi-
died your steamships that were serv-
ing us in a manner that yielded us
thorough satisfaction. Just let us
have back, by a refunding law, the
customs and postal receipts, and we
will give the Nation an example in
miniature of the reproductive value of
policy of substituting the American
merchant marine"
Again, is there not an effective ar
gument for special pleading now for
coastwise suspension, in a reference
to the conditions that existed before
the flag was raised over Hawaii. There
was free trade in both passenger and
freight transportation between Hawaii
and all coasts of the United States.
One of the favorite steamers was the
China under the British flag, and lat
terly the three Japanese Marus were
highly regarded. Yet while these de-
sirable carriers were without any re-
striction outside of themselves or
their agencies, there was no complaint
on behalf of the steamers under the
American flag of lack of patronage.
The Oceanic through steamers had sell
dom berths to spare excepting a few
vacated by stopover passengers. They
simply could not look at a freight bill
of lading for Honolulu from San Fran
cisco, as the usual thing on their de-
parture from the latter port was cargo
for the Colonies left on the wharf for
lack of hold room. Even the grimy
old Australia was damned to the rails
with cabin passengers on arrival and
departure here, and had a freight bus
mess in and out which left no sleep
for the stevedoring fraternity while
she was in port.
: Reasoning from experience and his
torical analogy, l should say that the
opposition to coastwise suspension, on
the ground that it would prejudice the
flag, is sheer poppycock.

spending several DAYS very pleasant
~ in Henderson. Mr. Angel is trav-
cling auditor of the American Cotton

He is an agreeable and engaging gen

He Is II warm personal friend of Nam
ager Fred Schroeder of he local mills,
at whose 'knock-down aud kick out"
reception given by some of his sym
pathiZing friends at the Croatan Club
Friday night, he YVES the guest of
honor. Mr.. Angel has been more
fortunate than his friend in one of
his ventures at least, as those who
met Mrs. Angel will testify. She is a
charming little woman, bright and
vivacious, of pleasing manner and
attractive personality, whose gifts
and graces make for her friends and
admirers in any social circle.
Mr.. Angel is a native of Texas and
his wife of New York-the two ex-

they met and as neutral ground be-

have found.
