Editor Advertiser: While the ques
ton of the suspension of the Coastwise
navigation laws has a distinct local
side, in all fairness and in all wisdom
it should be considered to the limit
of its greatest bounds. Capt. Mahan
and other writers of his, rank tell us
that advance of naval strength is essen
tial to American safety and American
progress. And they point out most con
vincingly that naval progress cannot be
certainly made under conditions which
force the decline of the merchant sea-
going service. So united and so firm are
all the authorities in this field of di2cus-
sion that their conclusions may well
be accepted as final They are final.
1t is the fact also that every war the
United States has ever had has been
won by the navy and that the navy
for each war has been recruited direct
~ for the occasion from the merchant
service.
The foregoing are some of the facts
that must be borne in mind if we are
to entertain really large or big or
national consideration of the question.
Now, supposing we are voting on this
proposal in Honolulu. Would it not be
exactly honest to have the ballot read:
81 am (or am not) friendly to Amer.
lean shipping as against the subsidized
boats of other nations"
Does it amount to anything else when
| we strip it of the insignificant plans of
certain Honolulu or San Francisco peo.
plef 1t does not.
Let us refrain from temporizing. Let
us consider principle and policy rather
than expediency. Suspension at this
time means the entering wedge which
will in very few years result in
driving absolutely from this ocean on
! ly highly subsidized and cheaply
manned ships. Let us cast our lot with
those who believe in and are working
for subsidy for American shipping. The
idea has finally been grasped by the
people off the coast lines of the United
States and there is every reason fol
confidence in the belief that subsidy
legislation will be successful at an ear
ly date.
Even if we again locaize the subject
and there may be two sides to that, il
soberness it must be admitted that thu
hardships which it is alleged are under
gone by travellers in and out of Homo
lulu have been greatly exaggerated. Thu
5000 fines have been related in nearly
every case and doubtless will be whei
the case is one of "life or death. ,
But, if it becomes the regular thinI
for passengers to use foreign vessel
between Honolulu and San Francisco
how long will it be before there will
be this peculiar demand for foreign YES
sells between the ports of the Islands
, And, finally, let us remember that i
encouraging the particular line of yes
, sells that would most be benefited b.
suspension, we would be throwing pal
ronage to lines operated on the wage

one.third the American figures.

WILLIS AND LANE
BOX EIGHT ROUNDS

HILO, January 19.-The many and
varied attractions provided at the Ar
mory on Saturday evening drew large
audience, and it is safe to say that not
one went away disappointed.
The moving pictures were good, as
they always are; the music by Pro-
fessor Carvalho s orchestra was better
than anything hitherto heard at the
ance was as enjoyable as could be
desired; but undoubtedly the great
event of the evening was the boxing
bout between the two bantamweights,
Jockey Willis and Tommy Lane.
An elevated stage had been erected
and properly roped, so that the con
test might be managed according to
| the rules Of the p. r., while at the
same time every person in the hall
could obtain good view of the fight.
Ned Austin was referee and Jack Ken.
nedy timekeeper, and they both dis
charged their onerous duties satisfac
torily, except that Ned was occasion
ally called to order for interposing his
burly figure between the spectators and
the pugilists.
The two bantams looked very fl
when stripped, but the Australian was
! the heavier and went at the business
with greater confidence than his op
ponent. Lane, in fact, made the fight
ing from the start, keeping Willis al
most constantly on the defensive. The
little jock fought most with his legs
and feet, showing, great agility il
lodging the blows and getting ava,
from the rushes of Lane. Time anC
again Lane gave openings, but Willis
was too busy gyrating about and duck
ing his head to take advantage o.
them. Despite his agility, Willis suf
fered considerable punishment during
the nrst four rounds; but he Away
came smiling up to time, though GU
of breath through his gymnastics.
1t looked as though the Australian
was to have it all his own way; blu
it soon became evident that Willis wa
ug him out by his lodging tactic
and by the smihng way i'll which h
took his cruel. In the latter rounds
the little one seemed to gain il
strength and determination. From de
Tending himself, he assumed the often
sive, and by clever boxing got in
number of sounding blows that told
The fight was for eight rounds. Ha
, it been for ten, Willis would have bee
the victor. AS il was, the referee pre-

that was undoubtedly just.

To the American traveller, accustom,
ed to the splendid service, due to the
competition existing on the Atlantic, it
does seem a hardship that he is prac,
tically prohibited from patronizing the
splendid steamers of the japanese boats
calling at Honolulu. Patriotism, in the
fact of indifferent service on some of
the American boats, quickly gives way
to irritation.

The American service is too infre
