+ All over Virginia and North Caro- i
lima the receipts of tobacco on the
loose leaf markets fell off considera bly, |
last week. as compared with former
weeks since the opening of the season
last fall. There were three reasons
for this. In the first place, the farm /
ers are too busy pitching their 1910
crops to bother much about marketing
their 1909 crops of any character. In
the second place. there has been no
"season" for handling the leaf, the
weather throughout the entire tobacco
territory having been dry, and the
period has been absolutely without
rains, or even the usual spring wealth
err "giviness." In the third place.
there Is. comparatively speaking, very
little more OF the 1909 crop to be mar
keted, the farmers having, under the
pressure OF eager demand and high
prices, and with good seasons in the
earlier days. sold off their stock very
rapidly.
The sales of suncured and other dark
Virginia tobaccos on the warehouse
floors OF Richmond the past week
amounted to but trifle over 10000
j pounds, and the sales of Burley footed
| up but little more than 10000 pounds,
making a total of loose leaf sales for
| the week of less than 100000 pounds.
| The sales on the Richmond floors up
| to and including March 81 have been
| interesting. The official figures. as OBJ
tanned from the secretary OF the To-
bacco Board of Trade, are as follows

PINCHOT'S WARNING.

Clifford Pinchot states the truth.
It is the struggle of the People
against the Interests, and while he
is about 1t he might have added that
II Is a battle In which the once de-
spised Senator La Toilette started
out several years ago. fight in
which Congressman Lilley OF Con-
necticut all but lost his reputation
and sacrificed many years of his life;
a fight that is real, that is earnest.
and one that is not confined to any
particular part OF the United States.
President VIM. II. Taft realizes
the truth of 1t when he decides that
he had better not oppose what Is
known as the Insurgent movement
in Congress.
Exactly where the President
...nds can not be determined until
1t develops whether the peace that
is being made with the Insurgents IL
inspired by desire to follow the
popular will or temporary move to
make more probable the punishment
and discrediting OF Pinchot for his
characterization.

not for Americans who retain a
fair measure OF individuality and
assertiveness.
This bureaucratic idea Is evident
~ very much in evidence in the ma
tional government at the present
time. Every employee of the depart
ments is supposed to forget that he
is an American citizen, and recall
only that he must do as he Is told,
keep his mouth shut, and when he
does open II to do so to his superior
officer who is In position to pigeon
hole any or all his utterances.
Should we be surprised. therefore
to find that the recognized local adj
vocates of government by commis-
sion argue that the people OF Homo
lulu should keep their mouths shut,
when the fiat has gone forth from
the building up yonder" that So
and-So should have this official po-
sition and the next best friends be
handed what remains?
That sort of plan won't work In
Hawaii, and we doubt that 1t will

when the people there once gain
close acquaintance with II.

TAFT and COMMISSION.

On the authority of the Washing

are again reminded that President
Taft thinks that Hawaii would be
much better or under bureau of

Rico. the Philippines and other ont
side appendages, than IL is with its
present Territorial form of govern
ment and consequent connection with
the Interior Department.

an open-air camp for consumpuVes III
their midst, Il general discussion loi'
lowed Bishop Restarlck stated tha'
in one OF the most exclusive resideh-
tial districts of philadelphia perma-
nent home for consumptives had been
established and that particular district
was considered the clcanest and best
Kept district iii the Quaker city. Mr..
Gait also got up and gave his views
ON this matter, which were to the
effect that II the patients of an open
air camp were provided with medicfn-
ally prepared paper handkerchiefs. IN
to which they could expectorate. the
paper then being at once burnt. no
harm could accrue from establishing
camps Of this nature In the best local
tiles.
The proposal TO establish an open
air camp on Miller and Bcretania
streets has raised perfect storm OF
protests. DR.. j. r. Wayson, DR.. G. j.
Augur, Mrs. Psrmelee. Col. laukea rep
resenting cx.Queen Liliuokalani, and
many other prominent citizens OF That
neighborhood are taking active steps
to have the matter thoroughly threshed
out and are confident that their com
bined efforts and the protests OF the
people Of Honolulu will make the es-
Establishment of this open-air consump-
tive camp in the midst of this beau
tiful city an impossiblity.
The chief points of objection are that
a INFECTED class of people should ON
no account be brought into "A clean
community; that these cases should
be confined to the outskirts of the city
for several reasons, which are as fol-
lows: The proposed site is in the
very center OF the church district, on
one of the main car lines Of this city.
II will not add to the. attractiveness of
the neighborhood to have consump-
tive camp established within a stones
throw OF the Central Union Church, st.
Andrews Cathedral, the Methodist
church. the German Lutheran church
and directly opposite the Kilohana Art
League.
In this community a well estab-
lished night camp is far preferable TO
well established day camp. for this
reason: Patients are taken from the
slums and filth OF Honolulu to a beau.
tiful and healthy spot during the day.
and are then taken back to the filth
and squalor OF the slums for the night
What benefit they derive in tho open
air at the day camp is undone by the
vile and filth-laden air which they
have to breathe during the night. 1t
Is absurd to think of establishing
camp under such conditions. II con
smnptive patients sleep in unhealthy
spots during the night and are brought
to healthy camp during the day, what
benefit do they derive?
