AMERICAN BEET SUGAR.

That the beet industry has developed
in the United States and has come to
stay seems now to be about as certainly
assured as is the permanence of any
other of our great American industries.
In the United States the beet sugar
industry is practically a very recent
one, and now, within less than four
decades from the failure of single
factory at Chatsworth, Illinois. and the
final success of that grand old pioneer
in the modern beet sugar industry, E.
II. Dyer at Alameda, California, the
beet sugar industry has attained pro-
portions exceeding the cane sugar in.
dustry of the Gulf States, where the
sugar cane has fourished for more than
century. Now, every feature of the
beet sugar industry is being carefully
studied and mechanical devices are be.
ing invented and applied to each pro-
cess to cheaper the cost of the process
or to make it easier or to reduce the
call the industry is now making upon
human labor. With the gradual applica-
tion of machine work to every process
incident to the reduction of beet sugars
the open competition in the markets
of the world of American beet sugar
with that produced in Europe now
seems probable at no very remote date.

aimed from the first at the continuous
and active intervention Of the trade
unions in politics, at direct representa-
ton of labor in the state parliaments,
and at much state intervention in the
concerns of employers and employed.
This has been the dominating aim
of the Labor party in the politics of
the Commonwealth of Australia since
1900, and the obvious success of this
movement is the New Protection that
has been developed in Australia. Since
the tariff was greatly increased all
through the schedules in 1906, there
has been a serious hitch in that part
of the tariff policy that was intended
to secure direct advantages to wage
earners from the high protection af-
forded by the tariff to Australian
manufacturers.
A constitutional amendment will be
necessary to carry out what are known
rs the excise clauses in the tariff act
clauses providing that tariff protec-
tion to manufacturers shall be depend
mt ON the payment of adequate wages
The vote at the general election which
brought the Fisher ministry into power
was in effect n vote in favor OF
such an amendment; and with labor
and protec,ionist maiorities in contro
of both the house and the senate all
four phases of the New Protection
should soon be in operation.

ON LITTLE LANAI.

Baby industries in Hawaii make a
great deal of noise for their size, aud
as infants prove to be as robust as
they are powerful when they grow up.
The Lanai Company, Ltd, and its sub
sidiary companies announced several
important developments in their affairs
during the week, the most important Of
which was the taking over of the
agency by Hackfeld & Co. The com
pany forms type of those which are
''making" Hawaii, sparing neither
pains nor money in adding industries to
Hawaii's list from which to derive addi-
tional revenue. Important work has
been done in improving the Lanai
Ranch Company's herds. The new
plans for the cultivation of beet sugar
are being watched with interest.

OF
WARRANTS BEGUN
Big Island Supervisors Ending
Term as ExpeCted-PoIiticS
Now Warming Up.

HlLO, August S.-With a deficit of
from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
staring them in the face the Big Island
supervisors have authorized Auditor
McGuire to issue registered warrants
to pay the county bills and tide the
corporation over the crisis.
just how much the county owes no
one knows. With the hit.and miss
method of conducting public affairs in
vogue, it cannot be told how much
of hole the county is in until the
bills are presented for payment. There
is different feeling in the air from
those days of high prosperity when
self-molding beds were considered well
within the financial reach of the county
and when little matter of thousands
never stood in the way of a political
favor.
The little pilikia of being behind is
not bothering the county fathers as
much as might be expected, however,
and the passing of new appropriations
goes mekrily on. With the elections
within a few months, there must be
| public work in progress, even if it
mortgages the island for a year to
| come.
Politics Warming Up.
Politics are warming up. The Repub
licans seem to be short of senatorial
timber, nobody being prominently men
! toned except Senator Brown, whose
term expires, and former Senator Hew-
! lit. The name of Mr.. Hind is not
mentioned so frequently now.
For the house of representatives, in
the Kona district, Land Agent I. c.
White is said to be slated for nomina'
ton and election.
In the first district, Alfonso will
again be one of the candidates and
probably an easy winner.
Hilo, as usual, seems to take but lit
lie interest in politics but there should
be an awakening, and the sooner the
better. The present county officers will
probably all be renominated, but there
is likely TO be a skirmish over the
supervisorships in conventions, and hot
fights to follow. Those who always
claim to want the best men for super
visors have, SO far, not lifted a finger
to work and the convention is only a
few weeks off,
A call for the Republican county
convention will be issued tomorrow, the
convention to be held September s in
the armory. This will bring a large
number of people to Hilo.
Preparing the Site.
The board of supervisors has agreed
TO build the needed road through the
federal site as soon as the lot has been
cleared of buildings and turned over to
the government. This completes al
steps needed to enable the federal gov
eminent TO go ahead with the work OF
preparing for the construction of the
federal building,

THE CANALS OF MARS.
Scientists Believe These Prove Abso'
tutely Existence Of Life.

If there Is one feature in astronomy
which more than any other appeals to
the public Imagination it is the canals
on Mars. Ever since they were dis
covered by Schiaparelli they have
been taken as evidence Of life on Mars
approaching more or less to that of
mankind, and the beautiful theories
which have been woven about them
have had all the fascination of the
most imaginative romance.
Mars is dying planet. and suffers
terribly from want of water. and so
the Martians. who must be expert en-
gineerS, have constructed series OF
canals from the snow caps at the poles
to catch the water when the snow
melts and turn it to the irrigation of
the plains, much as the Egyptian fell
laleen use the waters or the Nile. 1t
was therefore great blow to the
public when certain astronomers Of
cviderce declared that there is no evil
lence whichever of any canals on
Mars. and that what are mistaken for
these works are merely faults of OBJ
servation or in the telescoDes.
Happily. Professor Lowell of the
Arizona Observatory. who is perhaps
our greatest authority on the planet.
not only adheres to the old canals, but
declares that he has discovered
couple of new trenches where there
was never one before, and cuttings of
such a size that if they are not new
they must inevitably have been no
ticed before. This is great relief.
The public will not lightly part with
tic canals on Mars.-London Globe.
