New Wharf
at Kahuluii.
The Company Will Do Everything Posi-
bic For the Convenience Of the Public.

The New Railroad Wharf at Ka-
hului, which is now completed and
which will be opened to the public
November 1st., will be a great CON
venience not only to passengers GO
ing and coming ON the differents.
boats, but also to shippers.
When this wharf was first talked
OF, it was thought an appropriation
could be obtained from the Terri
torlal government, and that the
wharf would be equipped with cleo
trio elevtors and all the modern con-
venlences so necessary to the rapid
movement of large consignments of
freight. When it became certain
that no appropriation could be OBJ
tanned the railroad proceeded to
build the wharf as a private enter
prise, and that they have builded
well is self evident fact.
On another page will be found
the general rules that will apply at
the wharf. but it is the intention of
the railroad to run the wharf in
such manner that will provide the
greatest convenience to the com
munities served. Ii it is found. af-
ter Il trial that improvements can be
made III the general movement of
freight and passengers, some of
these rules will be altered to suit
conditions. In short, the object the
railroad management will strive to
obtain will be convenience to pas
sensers, and the rapid handling of
freight at the least possible cost.
Manager Williams hopes in the
near future to use automobiles for
handling small consignments charg-
ing the lowest rate possible for such
deliveries.

The Perfidy
OF Coelho
viIifies the Portuguese and Calls Them
European Paupers

Coelho and Kepoikai the Inde
pendent Candidates held a meet
ing in Lahaina Wednesday. Af-
ter vili6ing the Republican admin
istration and making lot of vul
gar remarks about the Republican
Candidates, the pair appealed to
the lowest passions and prejudices
of the crowd i'll order to get votes.
= fearful Willie Coelho, who had
been telling the Makawao Portu-
guese that he was the son of Por
tuguese and felt as one of that peo-
pie, and that if elected he would
look after the interests of the Por-
tuguese, forgot himself i'll the pre-
sence of purely Hawaiian audi
ence and while abusing Governor
Frear for not opening up the Kui-
aha lands for homesteaders; declar-
ed that Frear was keeping the lands
from Hawaiian applicants in order
to provide homesteads for Euro
pean (Portuguese) paupers.
Think of that coming from the
son of good Portuguese, who says
he is a friend of the Portuguese.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1910-10-29

too, lying to the credit OF the Por-
tuguese wage earners of Hawaii,
are over three-quarters Of million
dollars. Figures of bank deposits
were obtained in May last by the o
Luso, the Portuguese paper, which
published the following particulars:
In the banks of Honolulu, 1920
457 .S5; in the banks on Maui,
S77, ,27S.S1; in the banks of Ha-
waii, $64,254'55, and in the Kauai
banks, $35, 924.99.
These figures show no evidence Of
starvation or underpay Of a people
that came to Hawaii as assisted
immigrants.
In real estate and real property,
according to the returns of this year,
the Portuguese of Hawaii own con-
siderably more than two and half
lllllllOli Nollils.
Is this any evidence of starvation
wages?
The Portuguese are deservedly
credited with being among the very
best of the many races that go to
make up the population of this
Territory. They are good workers,
thrifty, lawabiding and industrious
people. They have prospered in
Hawaii and Hawaii has prospered
through them.
The sons of Portuguese immi-
grants occupy positions Of trust and
responsibility in the community.
They are in the legislature, on
the bench, in the governing boards
of the counties, in banks and
stores and Offices In proportion to
their number they occupy as many
important positions in the Territory
as tbs representatives of any other
people.
Heretofore they have not been
regarded as unreasonable or as un-
grateful for what has been done for
them. Should they be led astray by
any of the sophistry of the Democra-
tic party in this campaign, However,
showing that they are not only in
capable of reasoning from cause ia
effect, but are also selfish enough tc
want to deprive others of their rela-
tives and fellow coun.rymen from
sharing in what Hawaii has to offer,
it will be time to change opinions
That such change will be at al
necessary, is one of the things moi
expected to come to pass.
The Portuguese of Hawaii are
expected to support the party thai
was solely instrumental in bringing
them here, in providing them with
work, in giving them every oppor-
tunity for advancement politically
and socially, in legislating express
ly forNp9-that they might be abb
to ref homes.

Prosperity
Facts That Give the Lie to the Preach
ing Of the Democrats.

Democratic orators, Stilouicli iiS
their good sense in the McCandless
feed trough, are preaching from
the soap boxes and platforms a
strange doctrine. declaring in the
face of all the evidence to the con
trary that labor in this country is
half-starved and that plantation
owners are growing wealthy from
the sweat and blood of the planta-
ton hands.
The figures made public by the
treasurers of the Portuguese socie-
ties, the figures made public 10y the
banks, the appearance Of the Portu-
guese themselves, in their cozy
homes, all give the lie TO any such
rank assertions as are made con-
cerning their half starved" condi-
tion.
There are two important Portu-
guese societies here, the Lusitana
and the San Antonio, Their COM
bined membership runs over four
thousand, of which ninety-eight
per cent is made up of Portuguese
on plantations. Since the found
ing of the societies in 1882, they
have disbursed in sick benefits,
death benefits, invalids' pensions
and for orphans, the enormous sum
of nine hundred and ninety thou
sand dollars.
This does not look as though the
Portuguese of Hawaii are living
from hand to mouth. 1t shows, on
the contrary, that their wage earn
ers are enabled to put enough to
one side to care for their widows
and orphans and to prevent them
selves from becoming objects OF
charity during sickness and in time
of accident.
1t is a splendid showing, not only
of the fact that the Portuguese
colony is prospering, but that
among Tie Portuguese are 50 many
with good Judgment to provide for
the rainy day, that comes to Ha-
waii Just asit comes i'll any other
country on the face of the earth.
The exact figures for the San
Antonio Society are not at hand,
but as the membership and dues
are about even with those OF the
Lusitana Society, the figures OF the
one represent very closely the
figures of the other.
The Lusitana Society books, from
the time of the founding Of the as
sociation in 1882 until the end Of
September of the present year, show
the following sums disbursed:
Sick Benefits.

Of all classes the farmers are the
least accountable for the high cost of
living. The principal cause is shortage
of live stock and production without in
creasing demand. 1t is not the price
that the farmers are getting for pro-
duction that makes expensive living.
But the prime factor is the profit of
factories, wholesale and retail dealers
and the excessive toll paid by the con-
sumner is no benefit to the farmer And
if farmers are getting good price for
production they are paying equally adj
vance price for everything they buy
and their margin of profit is in a great
measure less than the public think it
is. The cities are getting more than
their share of the population because
farming is hard labor, long hours and
not the environments, the pleasure ard
entertainments that are in the cities.
And the scarcity of farm hands on the
farm has shortened agricultural pro-
duction and is making the consumers
pay more for what goes on their table
and bumper crop of everything is
now necessary for cheap living.
