OPIUM IS
Chief TOPIC

That the Federal grand jury, In sos
sion at the present time. win bring In
several indictments which follow with
more or less direct bearing on the ar
rest of Norman -. Smith In San Fran
cisco and his subsequent removal here,
IL the rumor that IL circulating around
the Federal Court this morning
The jury was expected tn bring In n
partial report covering the murder, but
this, It Is understood, has been left
over until tomorrow morning.
The evidence which has been gather
ed In connection with the Smith case,
II is believed. has led to the jury In
vcstigating the doings of number of
men around this city. Some of them
may stand the light that will be thrown
on their business, and others. II Is
thought. will nit away into the silence
of the night and be heard of no more
If they can help II.
This jury. while II naturally has n
number Of statutory crimes to dispose
of and several other small matters, II
expected to be confined almost entirely
to the investigation of opium SNUG
Cling. Likewise II is expected to have
an effect on the price of opium. The
price for the stamped stun at the pres
ent time is $50 tin, wholesale.

logical Survey, the indications are
that the efficiency of the irrigation
.ystems of the Islands Is very low.
That Is. the percentage of water ac-
tually applied to beneficial use as
compared with the total amount put
into the ditch systems Is very low
II Is probably well within the truth
TO say that In many cases not more
than fifty or sixty per cent Of the
water Is actually put to beneficial use.
or course you understand that this
statement does not apply TO systems
where the water enters the ditch for
the first time in cane field, as in
cases where II Is pumped or taken
from stream on the plantation. The
low efficiency OF fifty or sixty per cent
occurs where water is diverted from
streams several miles from the place
from which II Is used, and is carried
through many miles OF ditch system
before II finally reaches the cane. In
the case of ditch systems which orig
mate on a plantation itself. that Is
where all losses occur within the
field, II Is probable that the irriga-
ton system has an efficiency OF less
than seventy-fiye per cent
"ror the very reason that we do not
know, and the planters do not know.
just what the efficiency OF the various
parts of the irrigation system Is 1T Is
all the more important to have u
systematic and detailed study made
The same effort should be made to in
crease the efficiency OF ditch systems
as Is being made TO increase the eff
cheney of fertilization and cultivation,
and Of the manufacture Of sugar.
System Necessary.
Every up-to-date plantation In the
islands that has to practice irrigation
should know the exact status of It's
irrigation system. That is. II should
know the existing losses. where they
occur. and how and where they might
be prevented. We all know that the
all-imrortant prerequisite to any sort
OF intelligent Improvement Is thor

should say that IN any modern irriga-
ton system II should be possible Ia
know at almost any point of all main
bitches and principal iaterals, Just
what quantity of water Is passing a,
any time. In other words II should oe
known how much water Is coming
into the system and how much water
Is really being applied to the crop
and Just what ir becoming OF the DIFF
ference. Instead Of turning In so many
mems water" into q ditch for irrigat-
ing a certain field a certain number
OF cubic feet per second should be
sent down.
Suggests Organized Work.
"a complete knowledge Of the wat
erheadr. the amount at various points
along the bitches before the water
reaches the fields, and the amount APP
piled to the different fields during the
year are indispensable to the efficient
operation OF modern irrigation sys-
TEN. These and many other advan-

INVESTORS Wait
FOR THE DROP

While the market was slow today
with few sales made, brokers report
plenty of demand for stocks. The in
yestors apparently are waiting for a
drop in prices. for as soon as any
change Is apparent and the sugar
stocks go down even a quarter OF a
dollar, there are sales at once.
From present prospects, January Is
going to open with four-cent sugar, a
remarkable record. In fact the price
is abnorminally high now. but Euro
pean and Cuban crop conditions are
such that Hawaiian sugar men feel
confident OF high prices next year.

A TRAVESTY ON THE DIRECT
PRIMARY

Apparently the fight for the Re-
publican nomination for sheriff will
be waged between c. Valentine Bau-
mann, the candidate who has re-
ceiyed the Endorsement Of the Re-
publican county executive commit
tee and Walter Simpson, who has
been chosen by the Progressive Re-
publican league.
1t cannot be said that this condi-
ton OF affairs vindiCates the spirit
OF the direct primary law. The pur-
pose Of that law is not only to give
the voters an opportunity to express
their choice as to candidates, but to
permit a free and open field for
candidates themselves.
The News Is expressing no opinion
as to the qualifications of the two
candidates, but 1t does believe that
the voters should have a larger
freedom Of choice than will be posi-
BILE under the circumstance.
Mr.. Simpson was selected as the
candidate Of the ~Progressives with
out opposition, but the selection was
made by a few men who may or may
not represent the sentiment OF that
faction of the party. Mr.. Baumann
was chosen by the regulars" of the
county executive committee in OPP
position to the wishes Of a large
number of regular" Republicans,
who preferred some other man.
The effect OF the county commit
tees Endorsement has been to
drive all other regular" aspirants
from the field and thus Is estab-
lished the precedent that so far as
the organization Is concerned, the
action of the committee Is exactly
equivalent to that Of the nominating
convention in former days.
This is a usurpation OF power on
the part OF the committee which de-
serves rebuke. The selection of
candidates Is no part of the commit
tees duties. 1t is not even proper
that the committee should recon-
mend any particular candidates.
Every Republican should stand up
on an equal footing before that body.
Amy Republican of character, STAND,
ing fitness who aspires to an office
should be able to secure the COM
mittee's Endorsement and no more.
Then it should be left to the voters
at the primary 70 decide as to the
man whom they desired to support.
The method adopted is a travesty
upon the direct primary. 1t plerely
substitutes one boss method fQEf

SHOULD BE A CANDIDATE.

John Hanson. of this city. is men
toned prominently in connection
with the Republican nomination for
sheriff. Several other names have
also been advanced. MI. Hanson re-
fuses to commit himself as to his
candidacy. but says he wants to
find out whether or not he would
have the unanimous support of his
party. But how is Mr. Hanson to
know whether he will receive the
unanimous support of his party? He
may get the word of one or two
prominent members in the party, but
they are not the whole party by any
means.
The thing for Mr.. Hanson to do
is to declare himself a candidate, if
he wants the nomination, and let his
name go before the primary. If the
rank and file of the Republicans of
the county want him for their can
didate they will say so then. That
is what the primaries are for.
The day when a nan who desires
to run for office must first get the
consent of one or two men before
his name can be used, is passed. The
new primary law makes it possible
for the people themselves to choose
their candidates. Mr.. Hanson,
doubtless, stands as good a chance
as anyone else. If Mr.. Hanson is
looking for his party's endorsement
as a candidate, where better can he
get such an endorsement than at
the primaries? If he is looking for
the endorsement of certain would
be bosses, that is a different thing.
The new primary law was passed on
purpose to give every man an equal
chance to secure a nomination. If
Mr.. Hanson is at all inclined to run
for sheriff, he ought to be willing
to leave his candidacy to the mem
bers of his party.

IMPROVING SCHOOL CONDITIONS

CONDII1ON
The State Board of Education is
taking a decided stand in favor of
improved school facilities through
out New Jersey. The appropriation
for school purposes hat is distrib-
uted by the state board, has become
an important factor in the school
affairs and 1t would go hard with
most places should this appropria-
ton be withheld. The money Is
given by the state, however, only
on the condition that the various
municipalities and townships keep
their schools in good shape and af-
ford all the facilities that they are
required to by law.
A great many towns have become
lax in allowing the population to
increase without making provision
for the additional number of chill
dren who seek admission to the
schools. The result has been that
little tots have been huddled into
shacks and small rooms difficult to
reach, with inadequate supply of
pure air and with poor light.
Realizing the state of affairs, the
state board has begun a campaign
for better school houses and many
places have been notified that I'M
less they remedy conditions at once
the state appropriation will be with
held. This threat, in most instances,
has had the desired effect. In was
the aus of bringing a new school
to Jamesburg. A short time ago
Hightstown was notified that unless
more room was provided for the
children that place also would suf-
fer. The result has been that at
the recent election there it was de-
cided to issue bonds for $4,000 for
the erection of a modern school
house, in addition to the one al
'eady in use.
In the northern part of the state,
Llso, the state board base been ac-
i've in this regard and many of the
Id time country school houses have |,
cen replaced with modern struc-
ures where the pupils can receive !
II the advantages that they are en- {
tied to.
-SoFnlsuntty ,houlG take n
ride in the education it provides Z
,r the children. The public school ,
been the foundation for the pro- y
hat America has made. The e
act that we lead the world, as a ma z
ion, is largely due to the free edu- z
of the boys and girls. No z
community can afford to ignore this I
and 1t ought not to be neces- !
3ary for the state board to make ..
such threats as withholding the state
appropriation in order to force the
necessary facilities for teaching, 1t
however, hat some people
Will Ignore these matters, and it is
a good thing that the state board
has the whip-hand, so as to compel
them to keep up with the progress
of the times.

ton with the visit of President Taft
to that seaside resort Tuesday night,
the fact remains that the governor

action.
