lowed, according to instructions by
the aforesaid l. p. But that is a story
that will make good reading for an
other time
Our point just now is that while,
legally, we have but one licensed sa-
loon in Kohala, our sovereigns, the
police, are virtually licensing dozens
of saloons, and collecting the license
under the guise of forfeited bail. We
do not know that there is an under
standing between the police and the
blind pigs; we would not think such
a thing of our present deputy-sheriff,
who has been in bed with typhoid
fever for month, but, supposing that
the police department simply look
upon this as the easiest way of deal
ing with the matter, still it is a very
low grade of civilization and efficiency
that accepts bail-jumping as the end
of criminal procedure. We maintain
that bench warrants should be issued
for these bail-jumpers, and the re-
sources of the police exhausted to
bring them to trial. Where they are
second offenders, they should be made
an example of by a prison sentence.
To pocket the bail and fold our
hands is disgraceful. 1t is winhng
at lawlessness; it is next door to an
archy.
The fine prescribed for such cases
ranges from 800 to $1,000, or i'm
prisonment for one year, or both. We
make the law ridiculous when men
are let off with a bail forfeit much
less than the fine ought to be in many
cases.
Jail, and not bail, is what such Of
tenders need.

THAT KOHALA POLICE
ARE LICENSING BLIND Pig"

Kohala Midget: 1t would seem that
government By legislative and execu-
tive branches Is pretty much OF
farce in Kohala-the police exercise
high sovereignty and make the stat
ute books look like a pewter tup-
pence. Here are a few mild laxative
pellets for the citizen who fondly
dreams that our excise laws are ad-
ministered from Honolulu, instead of
from police headquarters here
On February q a Japanese named
Takata was arrested for keeping a
blind pig. He was bailed out at 500,
and forfeited his bail. He has not
been found CD or brought to trial.
On March o. Nagata, son of T. Flu
gitani, proprietor of the Banzai Hotel
said to be the largest blind pig in the
district, was arrested, and forfeited
bail to the tune of $3.50. Nothing more
doing.
On April 10, nine Japanese were ar
rested for gambling, and forfeited
their bail, IS each, and are probably
gambling now and chuckling at the
ease with which one may spit in the
face of laws in K0hala.
On April 10, there were three ar
rests for needless riding, and NJ. Hald
was pulled in for keeping a blind pig.
He jumped his 1925 bail without even
running start He is absolved, judg-
ing from precedents, from all further
consequences of the law.
It is rumored that another blind pig
in Kohala Camp was to have been
raided at this time, but was tipped
off by telephone, by certain interested
parties who reap a harvest through
the lawlessness of these blind pigs,

Captain Lawless has invented a
wonderful instrument that eliminates
all faulty calculations likely to be
made by navigators, for the machine
will do what man now does, and ac-
curately too, without fear of mis-
take. 1t would be impossible for Il
lay man to describe the device, and
If a sailor man described it it would
be impossible for the man in the
street to follow 1t. Suffice 1t to say
that it looks a wonderful and compli-
Gated instrument, and capable of all
that it's inventor claims for 1t.
At present ]. d. Spreckels. Sr., has
the latest model in his hands and he
is looking after the commercial end
of it at his own expense. Captain
Lawless claims that the instrument
solves all spherical astronomical tri-
angles, whatever they are, and solves
them correctly. He knows this from
actual experience, for he uses one ev-
cry day while at sea. He states that
the use Of the instrument makes nav
igation dependent entirely on an &C
curate machine, and not on man.
The old style instrument was inscrib.

OF course, the old model was not
the outcome of a single thought; he
took four years to work it out. He
found that even this machine did not
quite fill the bill, but he has been
steadily at work effecting improve
ments, until today he has an instru-
ment that will do all that he set out
for It. His first model cost $113,50 TO

'oad, is surprising and every one who
has done this has gone back as en-
enthusiastic believer in the great
prospects which are now at hand Ger
this city.
Honolulu has advanced rapidly in
the past two years, but it has not
been the advance from internal rea-
sons which has developed her. The
bringing of hundreds and thousands
of soldiers to that city has been the
important factor in making business
so good. The general opinion seems
to be that that city will become a gar
rison town and that in other ways
it has reached we'll towards its limit
for some time to come. Hilo, on the
contrary, has advanced on account of
the natural position and resources of
the place and has room for twenty
times this progress in the next few
years to come. This city is unfor-
tunate in some ways, the chief zone
being in the fact that property in this
city is so hard to purchase at rea-
sonable figure. Another thing which
holds Hilo back is the fact that so
much outside capital, which simply
looks for interest on present invest
ments, is located here. If this money
came from local sources it would be
more progressive and thus help the
future of the city. However, this city
can not be held back, it must advance

Hawaii Herald: 1t seems strange for
a Hilo man to go to Honolulu to find
out the prospects that are ahead for
this city, but it is what happened to
almost anyone who spends a couple
of weeks or more in that city. Of
course, one finds plenty of people
there who like to Josh" our city and
some who really mean what they say
in this line, but when the wideawake
business men talk, the men who watch
the entire Territory, who keep their
fingers on the pulse of events and
then seek to know the reasons that
have made them come about, quite
another story is to be heard. Among
such men the outlook of this city is
considered as growing brighter from
month to month. The idea is express
ed again and again that Hilo will be-

According to Lincoln the census of
1910 should net 3S,91S,526 people, but,
like Jefferson, "Old Abe" was millions
too high in his estimate. The latest
census returns from Washington, sub
ject to further correction, places the
total at 91,972,266, which would show
Lincoln's calculation to have overshot
the mark by 46,946,260.
However, 1t is only fair to remem-
Der that Lincoln's estimates were
based on the possibility Of the war
coming to a sudden termination after
the people had learned OF his inten-
tions regarding the slave purchase.
But the death struggle went forward
relentlessly, and nothing was done
toward carrying out the life-saving
and humane policy advocated by the
great president. Therefore the above
decrease from his estimates must be
allowed to his credit, since hundreds
OF thousands Of the male population
were killed outright on the battle
fields, and others died later as a result
of their wounds. or disease contracted
through the privations they suffered.

offered as sacrifice to the war-god by
both north and south, and It is an in
teresting surmise as to what extent

strife decreased the population. A SUI

at the census periods of 1900-l910
(present census), 1920 and 1880. The
argument he sent to congress in 1862
read as follows:
The aggregate sum necessary for
compensated emancipation, of course,
would be large. But It would require
no ready cash, nor bonds even, any
faster than the emancipation progress
es. This might not and probably would
not close before the end of the 81
years; at that time we shall probably
have a hundred millions to share the
burden. instead of thirty-one millions
as now. And not only so, but the in.
crease of population may be expected
to continue for a long time after that
period as rapidly as before, because
our territory will not have become
full"
He then proceeded to analyze the
problem Of population increase, and
decided that the population of the
United States grows at the decennial
ratio Of 34,60 per cent. He submitted
the following table to verify his deduc.
tions:

may safely say we are above four mil
lions"
Thomas Jefferson personally as
sumed the responsibility Of correcting
the first census, and with red ink made
increases in figures, as well as sup
plying such other numbers as he
deemed correct. He then. in his off,
eial capacity. informed the world
through our foreign representatives
that the federal count was Incorrect,
but with his additions and amenda-
lions could be relied on.
When the second decennial count
was completed Jefferson was presi-
dent, and letter written by him in
1SO1 contains the following assertions:
You will perceive that the increase
of numbers (popul9tion) during the
Fast ten years-1790-1S00-p proceeding
In geometrical ratio, promises rapid
growth and the prospect 1t holds up to
Us, not with view to the injuries It
may enable us to do others in some fu-
ture day, but to the settlement Of the
extensive country still remaining va
e cant"
This second census was intensely
gratifying to Jefferson and he assumed
the role Of prophet again, but proved
over-enthusiastic when he declared
that the American population would
. continue to increase at the same ratio
Such was not the case, nor is there
any such definite thing as an exact
ratio in population increase. In 1913
he wrote to Humboldt:
Tn fifty years more (1S63) the
United States alone will contain fifty
smillions Of inhabitants"
But the population in 1863 was fig.
'ured at 33,21S,117, showing that Ieffer-
sons reliance on a definite ratio in
crease led him about 17,000.O 1000 too
high. In 1915 we find Jefferson writing
as follows to Mr.. Maury:
Forty millions in forty years, and
in sixty years eighty millions! This
would be 1915 plus so, making 1t in
1875 as S0,0O0,00O."
But at that date the enumeration re-
suited in 1896, POT, or about $4,000. 600
below Jefferson's estimate. Jefferson
was a careful student Of natural in.
crease In the human family, but his
.&nowledge as to what death, marriage
and immigration would do for a nation
was meager. If that great statesman
could not form fair calculation. IL ia

job for anyone to indulge in predic.

mfty years hence, according to geo.
metric ratio. Abraham Lincoln was
smother chief executive who endeay
Ored to solve the population puzzle.
Like Jefferson, he attempted to lndi-
cate the exact figures, but acquitted
himself with more credit in the prob.
Aem Of human fluctuations. Lincoln
at one time practically proposed an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, with view to emanci-
patiDg the slaves, and paying the
southern owners a reasonable pur-
chase price. He pointed out that after
fhe slaves had passed into the posses
sion Of the federal government they
could be liberated, and the dreadful
civil strife thus be brought to a close.
