Are United
Favor Acquisition Of Addi=
tiOnal Land.

Board of Supervisors to meet them
and discuss the matter of third
story to the Jail building to be used
for County offices large number of
persons were present Friday after
noon and expressed themselves as
being opposed to the third story and
strongly in favor of acquiring all of
the land between the present County
property and the Daniels estate pro-
perty.
There were few preliminary
questions asked by several citizens.
Hugh M. Coke then addressed the
Board pointing out the urgent need
of additional lands for County pur-
poses. He referred to the limited
quarters which were at first thought
sufficient and to the necessity of more
room in short time there after.
He spoke of the additional quarters
being provided by former board
and of the fact that added duties
and responsibilities were assigned to
the counties by the legislature which
made the acquisition of more room
imperative. He pointed out the fact
that all political parties faver the
extension of local self government
instead of continuation of the pre-
sent paternalism called territorial
government. The fact that the add
ed room contemplated would soon
be inadequate was gone over thor
oughly and that then "A great outlay
would be required and probably the
lands now available could not be
had.
Mr.. Coke was followed by Hon.
III. p. Baldwin who strongly sup
ported the plan to acquire the ad-
ditional land and build thereon.
Mr.. Baldwin's address was short
but full of force and full of the
strongest support of the plan to ac-
quire the additional land.
Many other leading citizens spoke
and for the first time in history
Wailuku, Kahului and Pu unene
were a unit on a public matter.
There was not dissenting voice
against the plan that was called by
Chairman Pogue the Maui News
plan.
1t was case wherein, Hawaiians,
Portuguese and American born citi-
zens without an exception were of
one opinion, Home Rulers, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans we're of one
mind and petty local imaginary
differences were forgotten, and all
stood united.
Under these circumstances he
board felt that the will of such
body of men should be respected
and appointed a committee consist
ing of Supervisors Lyons and Haia
to investigate the proposition and
report at the next meeting.
1t is to be hoped that the owners
of the Kahale estate land will accept
a reasonable offer otherwise con-
demnation proceedings will be neces'
sary. GE

The good people of Hilo began CAM
psign at the beginning of 1909 to help
Hilo grow. From the report of the Dis
trict magistrate of the rainy city, it
would seem that others are helping the
city to grow too, and as result 1877 per-
sons were convicted during the year as
against $40 in 1908.

Tribune
Editor Scored
Pupils Of PapaikOu School
Write Interesting Letter.

The pupils of the Papaikou school
have written the following letter to
the editor of the Hilo Tribune.
Papaikou School,
January 13, 1910.
Dear Editor:
In your paper of January 4, you
make an attack on what the child
rem study in the schools of Hawaii. i.
A few weeks ago we enjoyed your
visit to our school. We feel our
selves under the direct aim of your
fire, for during your stay here we
worked a question in arithmetic
needing knowledge of specific
gravity" In your article you say
it is foolish to study such things as
astronomy and specific gravity.
You think it is a mistake to let us
know anything of the sciences, any
thing but "hoe hanahana." We
should like to express some of our
ideas on this subject.
Our creed is one of work--service.
We believe that we are here to do
things, 80 that the world may be a
little better on account of our having
been in it. In order to be of service
we must know about things--we
must be educated.
We know that farming is the
mainstay. of this Territory. We
have many copies OF the reports OF
the Secretary of Agriculture. That
great man has shown us that sue
cessful farming depends on a know
ledge of many of the sciences. We
want to be farmers, and we want to
work according to Mr.. Wilson s
system. We want to work in the
light of knowledge. We are weary
of this ignorance and superstition
which you would have us bear still
further down the ages. May not
we also clap our hands with JOY,
inspired by viewing and contem-
plating the wonders of nature?
Must we be here to do only the
drudgery, not daring to look to the
skies during the fourteen hours OF
each day we are not required to
work, while we straighten our weary
backs.
We assure you, Mr.. Editor, that
even our little knowledge of astro-
nomy has already done much for us.
We used to plant our vegetables, to
kill our pigs, to trim our vines and
even our hair only at certain stages
of the moon. Since learning some
thing about astronomy we do not lie
idly by waiting for the moon tC
grow before doing our work. We nc
longer fear eclipses, and we are going
to rejoice at the sight of Halley's
comet when it comes. Why not
allow us also to listen to the music
of the spheres?"
You would allow us to read, but
you put a ban on the sciences, his
tory and literature. What then shall
we read? What else is there tC
read? How can we ever learn tC
read if we do not read2 What il
reading? We understand it to b,
the getting of the writer's thoughts
from the printed page. How cal
it harm us to read the thoughts o
such writers as Longfellow, Wash
ington Irwin, Dickens, William III
Prescott, or Proctor.
We are hungry for this food o
knowledge which makes men wise
and which alone makes the worlC
different from what it was in tn,
darkness of the Middle Ages.
History teachers us that Egypt
Persia, Greece, Roome and Spain
were once great nations, but whel
they began to oppress the laborinI
people, in order to satisfy the self
ishness of the ruling powers thei

Merchant
Marine
Must Be Encouraged by
Congress.

Washington correspondents are
practically in agreement with regard
to the intense interest that is CEN
tered in the ship-subsidy bill.
Friends of the measure prefer to
have it spoken of as the ship
subvention bill. But this is neither
here nor there. Subsidy or subven-
ton, what is sought is government
aid in the upbuilding of our mer-
chant marine, and the point at
issue is not whether it shall be in
the nature of a subsidy or subven-
ton, but whether we shall be taking
wise or an umwise course in CIV
ing financial encouragement, by
way of bounty, to American ship
ping, so that it may be able to COM
pete on equal terms with foreign
shipping.
Representatives and Senators are
said to be primed with arguments
in anticipation of the merchant ma
rine debates. The foes of subsidy
are no less active in preparing and
distributing data than its friends.
Not all of this data is entirely trust
worthy, and not all of it, if trust
worthy, would be important. Now
and then scrap of information
more instructive and more eloquent
than any that has undergone elabo-
rate preparation drifts under the
notice of the casual observer. As,
for example, this little table detached
from report of the bureau of sta
tistics. which is simple and COM
plete exhibit of the worlds merchant
marine and of our share of it.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1910-01-22

This table brings out strongly the
fact that no amount of theorizing has
been able to dislodge, namely, that
under our present method Of deal
ing with the question our merchant
marine is decaying. And the great
weakness in the position of those
who so stubbornly and bitterly an
tagonize every attempt made to
restore our merchant marine to its
old standing is that their course is
purely obstructive.

low the cylinder.
The interior shaft turns at the
rate OF three hundred and seventy
five revolutions per minute. BY the
law OF centrifugal force the chains
maintain a rigid position, and strike
a blow OF eighteen hundred pounds
which is nine times the power of a
man swinging a two pound hammer
on a five foot swing. So effective
is the crushing power Of these re
volvlng slugs that Immediately when
the material is fed into the machine
the rock and cement seem to dis
appear at once. and the machine
seems ever TO remain empty. This
gives it an almost incredible capa-
city in a day. and as much as six
hundred tons Of material can be
treated in a ten hour run

but because Of their rightly. strong
resistance caused them to break. The
chains solved this problem. for
though the force of revolution keeps
them taut, they still have enough
give in the striking of the blows to
prevent breakage. Engineers to
whom the plan was shown declared
that the chains would rapidly wear
at the connecting ends Of the links,
but it has been found that the chains
remain so steady and stationary in
their revolutions that the wear is in

After the material has been pull
verified and the pebbles have been
cast out, and thus eliminated from
