GEORGE OSBORNE.
A GREAT RIDE.

The Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany has arranged a trip for resident
and visitors which gives an excellent
opportunity to view the sugar and
pineapple plantations on this island,
and have day and a night at the
famous Haleiwa hotel for the paltry
sum of ten dollars. The trip includes
train and carriage rides. The seem
cry along the route is inspiring and
everyone who has been at Haleiwa
knows what that place is. The fare
for the excursion is set so low that
it is being well patronized an there
is no doubt of the coming popularity
OF this scheme. Trains leave in the
morning and passengers return the
following evening.

THE LABOR CURE

Editor Star: If space will permit
should like to say another word or
two in regard to the labor question,
and l would like to propose something
as a remedy, and something which
has never failed to bring about better
relations between the master and the
workman in any country in which it
has been tried. | REFER in this in
stance, to the plan of profit Sharing,
or copartnership, which has proved so
successful in England and in some
parts of the United States.
Not only would l like to see this
tried upon the sugar, plantation, but
by every firm of this city, and for
that matter by every firm in the entire
world. This remedy for the labor
question is not looked upon very favor
able here because it is supposed that it
would reduce the amount of dividends
to the stockholders. But this is a
mistaken idea, because it is found that
wherever this plan has been tried the
stockholders have received higher di-
vidends This is easily proved, because
when a man finds out that the amount
of money that he receives does noA
depend so much upon the length of
time he works, as upon the amount Of
work he does, he will certainly do
more.
The average man wants little more
incentive than the daily wage to in
duce him to put forth his best efforts,
and when he gets this incentive or in
ducement the amount of work that he
can accomplish is something wonder
full.
Again everyone knows that, as a
rule, a partner does more and takes
greater interest in his business than
does his workmen, and think what it
would mean if there were 500 or 1000
partners striving their utmost to make
the business a tsuccess. Now, it's my
opinion that if the laborers were told
that, without buying any of the shares
of the firm, they would be paid part
of the profit at the end of the year,
it would make all the difference in the
world, not only in the amount OF work
that they would do, but in the way
they would feel towards their partners.
And when this can be done without
any loss to the planters, indeed at
positive and certain profit, one would
think it might be given a trial. To try
this plan would mean little trouble
no doubt, but it would, feel certain,
be more than offset by the better feel
ing and the better results that would
be obtained.
Hawaii is we'll abreast of the times
except in this matter of profit shar-
ing. This exception is a pity, because
cooperation or profit-sharing is going
to be the universal custom and the
remedy for all the strikes and the
meny other labor questions. It is to

A JAPANESE ERROR ABOUT AMERICA

present that episode. No newspaper
editor, no financier of any grade, no
political party in America, did bring
or could have brought on, the war
with Spain. The tragedy ripened slow
ly and grew out of conditions in Cuba
long we'll known, and capped at last
by the wanton destruction of an Anne
rican warship, with nearly all of the
crew, in the harbor of Havana. Pub
lie sentiment in America demanded
the war, supported the war, and con-
quered Spain. Neither an individual
nor a party could have forced the
governments hand if public senti-
ment had not been in favor of ac-
ton.
The reference to Mr.. Schiff by this
Toxic newspaper carries in substance
this warning: Look out! The man

America and Spain is trying to bring
on a war between America and Japan.
He is still powerful. He may again
succeed" The answer is that he did
not bring on the war with Spain, and
cannot possibly bring on war with
Japan. Public sentiment in America
is not in favor of a war with Japan,
and Mr.. Schiff is as powerless to
shape it in that direction-if it may
be assumed that he so desires-as
need be. Money makes the mare go,
but Mr.. schiff does not command
money enough to make America go
contrary to the country S interests and
inclinations.-Was Star.
