CUBA'S GREAT PROSPERITY.

. II there is one Hawaiian Industrial
nightmare that disturbs the peace OF
sthe financial mind more frequently
than another II is the annexation Of
Cuba.
q The reality has been forever COM
ing and never arriving. ...-..-
After reading the latest report of
Cuba's minister of finance, one may
well wonder why 1t should ever ar
rive, for any prosperous country is
'slow to change its status when the
public finances show balance on the
right side of the ledger -
Representative government whose
stability is guaranteed by the United
States, coupled with the high price of
sugar, have given Cuba a marvellous
prosperity. The figures of the latest
report of the minister of finance show
that Cuba's total value of imports of
merchandise Including money! has
risen from 500, 65S, 900 in 1900 to $751;
$4,000 in 1909, II is the figures of en-
portation, however. which disclose in
u more direct sense the country's eco
nomic progress. These figures show
a growth from $4s,9O4. 900 in 1900 to
s12l,71l,OOO in 1909. The latter fig

anese subjects engaged in freight or
passenger traffic between Japan and n
foreign port or between two foreign
ports and to all japanese engaged in
the building of vessels of not less than
700 gross tonnage, It is learned from
the report of the Japanese Depart
ment of Finance.
At the close of 1903 Japan possessed
$4,000 tons of steamers and $4,000
tons of sailing vessels, making a total
of $4,000 tons for both descriptions;
the tonnage of the steamer feet was
then about four times what II was
nine years previously, at the outbreak
OF the war with China. Nevertheless,
the stupendous struggle with Russia,
necessitated a still further increase;
accordingly, foreign vessels were
bought, chartered, or given special
permission to engage in the coastwise
trade. In the course of the year 1904
the losses connected with the block
ing of Port Arthur and those due to
other causes came up to 1000 tons;
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1910-09-01

sells of not less than 700 gross tons by
any Japanese subjects or any com
mercial company whose partners or
shareholders are all Japanese sub
jects that is engaged in shipbuilding.
The encouragement given by the gov
eminent in the matter has been so
great that by the end of 1909 there
were altogether 239 private shipyards
and 80 private docks in Japan.
The United States equally with ia
pan may profit by the encouragement
and development Of its shipping indus-
try, an industry which has fallen into
decay until our battleship fleet on its
trip around the world hardly, viewed
an American flag flying over an Amer
ican-built ship. Our legislators will
do well to take leaf from the book
of Japan and enact some legislation
that will rebuild our merchant mar
inc.

JAPAN'S SHIPBUILDING EXAMPLE

The Japanese, realizing that .as
their country is surrounded on all
sides by water. their development as
nation must largely be brought
about by the development of their
marine. have made marvellous strides
in the past few years, during which
the shipbuuding industry has been
greatly encouraged by wise legisla-
ton which gives assistance to all Jap

in Saturday nights contest chewed
gum, the defeated didn't; therefore
chew gum. Probably q HAL analysis
would reveal an intimate connection
between nerves and habiiual gum
chewing.
There have,been attempts to cstab-
lish gum in Europe. The results are
as yet inconsidcrable However, tho
demand in the United States calls for
the manufacture of 3,OO0,OOO.OoO pieces
of gum per year and gives prosperity

forced into our present fight to elect
clean and representative delegates to
the coming conventions.
I'VE believe, from the vote polled on
July Goth last, that the people are sat
isfed with the present liquor law and
that 1t should not be changed by the
next Legislature. Some of us voted
for prohibition and some of us against
prohibition, but we believe and main
tain, unanimously, that the liquor
question should not enter into the
coming campaign; and we aver that
1t has no part in our present precinct
contest and has not entered into the
selection OF our committee, or of our
candidates.

He had the attention of the table,
as if they sensed behind his words
more even than Judge Butler could
have told them.
And then the superstition about 1t.
It's rather pretty tale" said Kerr,
looking at Flora you've seen the
ring-a figure of Vishnu bent back
ward into a circle, with head Of
sapphire; two yellow stones for the
cheeks and the brain of him of the
one blue. Just as piece of carving
it is so fine that Cellini couldn't have
equaled it, but no one knows when or
where it was made. The first that Is
known, the Shah Jehan had it in his
treasure house. The story is he stole
it, but, however that may be, he gave
it as betrothal gift to his wife
possibly the most beautifuP'-his eye
brows signaled to Flora his uncer-
tainty of that fact-"without doubt
the bestowed woman in the world.
When she died it was buried with her
not in the tomb itself. but in the
Tai Mahal; and for a century or so 1t
lay there and gathered legends about
it as thick as dust. 1t was believed
to be a talisman of good fortune -es-
pecially in love.
1T had age; it had intrinsic value;
it had beauty, and that one other
quality no man can resist-it was the
only thing of it's kind in the world.
At all events, it was too much for old
Neville Crew, when he saw it there
some couple of hundred years ago.
When he left India the ring vent
with him. He never told how he got
it, but lucky marriages came with 1t,
and the Crews would not take the
house of lords for it. Their women
have worn it ever since"
For moment the wonder of the
tale and the curious spark of excite
ment it had produced in the teller
kept the listeners silent. Clara was
was the first to return to facts. Then
Bessie" she prompted eagerly.
Kerr turned his glass in meditative
fingers. "She wore it as young Chat
worths wife" He held them all in
an increasing tension, as if he drew
them toward him.
"The elder Chatworth, Lord Crew,
is a bachelor, but, of course, the ring
reverted to him on Chatworth's
DEATH"
and Lord only knows" the judge
broke in, how it got shipped with
Bessies property. Grew was out OF
England at the time. He kept the
wires hot about it, and they managed
to keep the fact of what the ring was
quiet-but it got out to-day when Pur-
die found it was gone. You see he
was showing it-and without special
permission"
