mentioned here. The answer to it may
be found in the carrying out of the pre-
vious suggestion for a better under
standing of japanese character.
The furnishing of means permitting
the Japanese laborer to live more as he
would in his native country.
Better understanding between en-
ployers and laboreTs. Here, again, is an
apparent contradiction but there is
shade of difference dwelt on by the
essayists which earns its place here.
The providing of lecturers eonversant
with the conditions existing in the see
tons of Japan whence the laborers
come.
Provision for competent interpreters
at plantation offices and hospitals.
Some comfort provided for aged
laborers past their greatest point of
usefulness will dwell on this feature
later.
Extra encouragement for those labor
ers who have worked on one plantation
for an exceptional number Of years.
The essayists, as is here seen. have
provided for more remedies than they
have mentioned defects, having present
ed fifteen of the former 70 ten Of the
latter, which can be explained by the
apparent Implications in the remedies.
Each of these points would require
much thought and calculation Of detail
to be successfully applied, notwithstand-
ing the small space they take up here
None Of the suggestions, believe, are
At all imyraeticable and none attendant
with ogerbalaneing expense.

AFTER MAIL WORK

There has been quite toidO in the
eastern papers of late over a proposed
of the American Hawaiian Steamship
Company to carry mails under contract
with the pOstofiice department, through
the Panama Canal. The department
has been considering the matter, al
though it does not yet appear that any
thing definite will come of the pro
pOsal. The entire question Of indie
pendent ships, not allied in any manner
with the transeontinental railroads, to
handle traffic through the canal, is be-
coming very important, because the day
is not far distant when the canal viii
be ready for business.
The American-Hawaiian Steamship
Company, which il credited with having
the largest acet Of American ships in
point Of tonnage, said that the ships IL
I now owns could not be made 10 conform
10 the specifications Of the government.
I IL does not consider the subsidy snf-
1eieat indueement 10 warrant the build
ing Of new ships for the mail service
alone.

coroner's jury sat last Wednesday on
tho case Of Oku, the Japanese charcoal
burner found dead on the beach at
Kahalepalaoa, Lanai, and after taking
tho testimony Of the man companions
and other witnesses rendered verdict
that oku's death was case Of "sui-
eide by drowning"

J. X. Kahookele, the surveyor, has
been surveying and locating the pule-
anas and privately owned lands in the
Ahupuoa of Honokawai. The tracts Of
government lands lying between Napih
and Kahakuloa valley are said to be
good lands for homesteading purposes,
and there is sufficient rainfall in the
district to make the land suitable for
growing pincapples and grapes.
| Scarlet fever is prevalent in Lahaina
and quite a number of premises are
under quarantine. Health Inspector
Trevenen, District Overseer w. l.. De
eoto and Supervisor Henning have been
cleaning up the town. A gang Of men
and several county mule carts have
been engaged for some time removing
rubbish and rotting refuse from back
yards, and the town is pretty well
cleaned mp.
There are several large swamps in
Lahaina that should be filed up or
drained. The last legislature appropri-
ated $4,000 for this purpose. The
swamps are n menace to the health of
the town and it is declared to be time
the Territorial Superintendent of Pub
lie Works should move in the matter
and proceed to fill up the swamp as a
sanitary measure. Several cases of
typhoid fever have appeared and DR..
Burt and DR.. Hayes have their hands
full tending to the patients. The La
hainaluna school has been closed on
account Of a case of typhoid in the
school.
LAHAlNA, Maui, December THE
settlement associations that are to take
up the Kuiaha-Pauwela lands will be
getting some pretty valuable lands for
song when they get the lands. They
were formerly cane lands worth about
$500 an acre. The Land Commission
/ is allowing the homesteaders to take
them up at a valuation of about $4,000
an acre. Auditing land owners value
their lands at not less than 500 an
acre. Over in Kula Waiakoa and Keo-
kea where priYRtelY- oHned lands- cnnld-
acre the Land Commissioner requires
the homesteaders, principally natives
aud Portuguese, to pay $40 to $50 and
even SIS an acre for unimproved lands.
A former settlement association con-
sisting of eleven members applied for
homestead lots in the Kuiaha-Pauwela
tract last May, but after looking over
the lots only three made good. The
Others forfeited their application fees
and chose to remain landless. There
is belief in some quarters that settle
ment associations are illegal and that
homesteads can only be gotten by a
public drawing Of lots open to all quail
fled applicants who wish to take up
public lands.

2. The possibility Of comfortable hv.
ing with small saving in Japan.
B. Their vanity and desire TO "show
off, before their old friends.
4. Their love Of home life.
5. The lack Of pleasures and COM
forts here.
6. The necessity Of a single life, prac-
tically compulsory here.
z. Family relations in japan.
8. Anxiety attendant upon old age
and sickness here.
3. The humiliations and inconven-
fences incidental TO deprivation Of polit-
ical rights here.
10. Humiliation and inconveniences
due to lack of knowledge Of English.
An elaborate treatise on the rene
dies of all these would have to go
through all the ramifications and pecu-
liarities of the Japanese character and
would be too long to give in this place
but It is possible to give an adequate
, idea of what should be done.
First, a house and lot should be pro-
vided to each laborer the lot sufficient
ly large to enable him to plant little
vegetable garden and thus reduce bit
of the cost of living, to indulge his ma
tural love for flowers and floral beauty
lin short to root his infection in the
soil. He is no different from other
races in his affection for an indepen-
dent home.
Secondly, encouragement of married
life should be much more general than
at present.
Means of enjoyment should be pro-
yided, an essential point, think. Such
a matter could be arranged with mutual
benefit to both parties. A circuit could
be established embracing all the plan
tations over which light vaudeville and
moving picture shows could travel, the
plantations guaranteeing the expenses
of each stand and allowing them what
net profits might be made. Vaudeville
features need be no more elaborate
than would be expected. Baseball
grounds in each plantation and further
facilities for similar sports are all in a
line with this suggestion.
Permanent residence should be en-
couraged through the newspapers. This
matter has been taken up by the Japa-
nese press already, it having, therefore,
made the first move in the campaign
towards keeping our laborers here. The
other matters, of course, rest with
! others.
There should be a better understand
ing of the Japanese character by over
seers and managers. Those managers
who have understood this character
have had marked success with their
! Japanese lahor.
Better information of the prevailing
conditions in Japan. This, as / have
shown, is already being arrived at.
Encouragement of contract work on
a more permanent basis than it is at
/ present.
Perfection of educational and reli.
gious organization, such as kinder.
garten, nurseries, night-schoOls for
English education and an increase of
means for more comfortable life, such
as bathhouse, clubs and comfortable
homes
The running of plantation stores on
the cooperative system.
Better treatment of laborers. This
is, of course, vague and general, but
our correspondents have almost univer.
sally touched on it and so it should be

from $500 to $7o0.
 In this city Tuesday morning the case of Julia M. Talbot, adm, va ed, the evidence for the plaintiff being completed during the day and two wit nesses called for the defense. The case will probably occupy much or to- day. The plaintiff is the widow oI Thomas w. Talbot of Lisbon. who left his half interest in the farm there to his sister, the defendant. It is to re- cover this half interest in the tarm that the suit is brought. He died July 16. 1909, having deeded the property July of the same month The plalnss tiff was the seend wife of the deceased and during the latter part of his lie 1 they did not live together.
 There were many witnesses calleo 1 by the plaintiff, including DOW B. TaI- bot, Dr. l.. E. walker, Miss E. M: Tai- bot, Eliza Ann Talbot. Abiaail M. ol- sen and Gilbert E. Talbot. It was tes- l tified that during his last sickness tne deceased was suffering from diabetes | and his illness was very paanluL He l was under opiates much of the tlrne: It was testified that he appeared or unsound mind and that he talked in 2 peculior manner.
