was out of town on Sunday, the
fifteenth of this month; did not see
The Advertiser of that date and did
not see the article in the Bystander
column relating to Kuhio's charges
against the Governor and discussing
the status of the native Hawaiians,
until this morning, when, having seen
it referred to in The Star and having
been spoken to about it by a friend,
] obtained a copy of the paper con-
tanning it,
First, as to the "Bystander column:
1t is a free lance department, contrib
uted to by various writer's, expressing
all kinds of opinions on all sorts of
subjects. It is not intended to rep
resent, and does not represent the
sentiments Of the management or pub
fishers of the paper.
Under ordinary conditions l would
not undertake to comment on what is
published therein; but the wholesale
arraignment of the native Hawaiian
contained therein is so distasteful to
me, and, in my opinion, so uncalled
for by the, circumstances, that | would
not feel comfortable if | kept still and
allowed my Hawaiian friends to think
that the article in question voiced my
sentiments.
do not propose to discuss the truth
or falsity of the statements made in
the article. Some of them are true;
but as to those which are, they APP
pear to me to be failings common to
humanity and not especially those Of
Hawaiians For example, l think the
records will show larger percentage
of haoles who have acquired home
steads and sold them, than of Hawai-
ians.
There are grating government Off
GERS in Hawaii but it has not been
confined to one race, and it does not
compare with the civic rottenness OF
vast number of municipalities across
the water
There are weak voters and venal
ones in Hawaii; but the recent revela-
lions of wholesale bribery OF botn
voters and Legislators in some OF the
"whitest" States, does not indicate
any monopoly of virtue on the main

Davenport told of his efforts to as
certain the truthfulness of reports in
the press and elsewhere that the pen
sion roll was honeycombed with fraud.
He sent field men from pensioner to

Knoxville agency. Out of a total of
47,1S1 pensioners seen and questioned
only twenty-siX cases OF improper
pensioning were revealed.

The number of sailors and soldiers
on the pension list at the close of the
fiscal year was 57O,O5O; dependents
and widows, 321 ,642; army nurses,

the Civil War, 1928 having died dur,
ing the year. 1t is believed that only
about twenty-five per cent. of the es'
timated 3,213,36j individuals in the
United States service during the Civil
War are now living, the death rate OF
the survivors being now slightly in eX

land, or preponderance of sinners in
Hawaii.
When it gets down to cases, my
observation is that in both legislative
and county governments, the average
Hawaiian has done quite as well and
been quite as conservative as the av-
erage of his white colleagues.
There is a disposition among some
of the newer corners in Hawaii to be
impatient with existing conditions; to
look upon the Hawaiians as an in
cubus, to be shouldered off the beach
at the first opportunity.
There is practically no such feeling
among the older residents certainly
do not share it in the remOtest de-
gree. / have summered and wintereu
with them for fifty odd years; went
to school with many of them; cam
paigned among, and was twice elected
to the legislature from constituencies
almost exclusively native; have had
the strongest and most disinterested
political support and personal friend
ships among them and experienced
no such double dealing at their hands
as have observed among some of my
white fellow citizens.
AS to Kuhio, whom l have favor
ably known since he was a boy, | am
unable to agree with his attitude to-
ward the Governor and think he is
making a mistake. l do not believe,
however, that he is acting as he does
through any mercenary motive, and he
certainly has repeatedly demonstrated
a marked independence of spirit show
ing that he is not the mouthpiece of
any one man or clique of men.

HILO, Oct. 23.-The long expected
test suits by the Territory against the
Kaiwiki Tract settlers have finally
been filed. They are expected to set
tie once and for all the old questions
as to just what is meant by residence,
by cultivation, how far the settler may
enter into contracts with plantations
and so forth, which have in the past
been the cause of many squabbles and
much bitterness.
The suits were brought last week
by the encouragement through Land
Commissioner Judd, against two of
the settlers, namely Alfred Rannie
Henderson and Manuel \. de Souza,
Souza holds under a right of purchase
lease, while Henderson has a cash
| freehold.
In each petition Land Commissioner
Judd gives the history of the taking
up of the land in question by the set
tiers, which ended in the refusal Oh
the part of the government to give
them title. He states that a dispute
and disagreement which can not be
amicably settled has arisen between
respondent and petitioner as to thu
performance of the terms and condi
lions of the freehold agreement an,
of the law relating thereto, and NOR
particularly with regard to cultivation
of the lot or premises covered by SAT-
agreement; planting and care of tree
thereon; assignment and suitcase G

San Francisco Chronicle: 1t is stat
ed that a German company has been
organized with subscribed capital of
$5,OOO,OOO to construct a canal from
the mouth of a river in Costa RIGA, a
short distance south of the Nicara-
guam line, to Lake Nicaragua.
That such a company is being pro
NOTED it probable. That the $4,000,
600 of capital has been subscribed is
possible and if the connection with
Lake Nicaragua can be made for S.
100000, it is quite certain to be made.
German investments in Costa Rica
and Nicaragua are large and would
quite justify an investment of $4,000
600 for transportation facilities to
open up the large district which a ca
nal would make accessible. If, how
ever, the necessary concessions have
been obtained from the Costa Rican
and Nicaraguan governments, no one
seems to know anything about it.
The chances are that at present the
canal exists only as the scheme of q
promoter. That, however, is the origi-
nal status of all great enterprises, and
if $5,OOO,OOO will make a ship canal
between the Pacific and the lake, it
will not be long before the connection
is made, because as a single unit it
ought to be profitable.
But if the Pacific is connected
with Lake Nicaragua, it is evident
that it is only question of time when
the San Juan River will be canalized
and a new isthmian canal completed
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-10-26
ANOTHER ISTHMIAN CANAL

1t is not probable that any such ca
nal would provide for the passage of
ocean monsters, which would involve
enormous outlay for dams and locks.
But canal which will pass steamers
and sailing ships of moderate size
could be built for a small part of the
cost of the Panama canal, and even in
the face of the competition of the big
ditch ought to be made commercially
profitable. One thing which would
Justify the construction of such a ca
nal of moderate size is that it woull
open up large areas of productive ter
ritory.
That canal route has advantages
which will eventually lead to it's con
struction. If not now, then later. II
our Government desired a monopoly
of canal traffic across the isthmus, il
should have built over the cheaper
route. And, except forthe necessity
of providing for our own war ships, Z
much smaller canal than we are build
ing would have been sufficient.
AS a commercial proposition it will
never be possible for the Panama ca
nal to compete with a purely CONNER
cial canal by way of Lake Nicaragua
and that fact will assure the ultimat,
building of a Nicaragua canal.
If the project is now seriously en-
tertained by capital, it shows the con
fidence which exists in the future o
the commerce of the Pacific And tn
more canals there are built the bel
ter it will be Tor all of us.

OWNERSHIP Of GREAT WEALTH
AND ITS PROPER DISPOSITION

Editor Star:-In the North Ameri-
can Review, September, 1906, is an ar
ticle on THE Gospel of Wealth. by
Andrew Carnegie. The whole article
is too long to quote here, but it seems
worth while to quote the following
passages, in connection with the cere-
monies of last Saturday, at the new
library for this city:
Not evil but good, has come to the
race from the accumulation of wealth
by those who have the ability and
energy that produce it, e..
There are three modes in which
surplus wealth can be disposed of. It
can be left to the families, or, it can
be left for public purposes; or, it can
be administered by the possessors.
Why should men leave great
fortunes to their children? 1t is no
longer questionable that great sums
beQueathed, oftener work more for
the injury than for the good of the
recipients.
AS to the second mode, it may be
said that in many cases the
requests are so used as to become
only monuments of his folly.
The third mode seems best be.
cause the same ability that acquired
the fortune, is the best able to give it
out again, and to see that it is used
as he wants it used. If we con.
slider what results flow from the
Cooper Institute, for instance, to the
best portion of the race in New York
not possessed of means, and compare
these results with those which would
have arisen for the good of the
masses, from an equal sum distribu,.
ed by Mr.. Cooper in his lifetime in
the form of wages, we can form some
Iestimate of the possibilities for the
improvement of the race which lie
in the present law of the accumula
tion of wealth. Much of this sum, il
distributed in small quantities among
the people, would have been wasted
in the indulgence of appetite, some o
. lit in excess, and would not have
yielded results for the race, as a race
3 at all comparable to those which ar
, flowing, and are to flow, from tn
. Cooper Institute from generation t,

This, then, is held to be the duty
q of a man of wealth: First, to set AZ

display and extravaganza; to provid,
II moderately for the legitimate want
!. Of those dependent upon him, and
r after doing so, to consider all SUI

In their answers the settlers admit
that a dispute has arisen as stated by
the land commissioner, but claim that
it has arisen solely over the clauses
relating to cultivation of, planting and
care of trees and to residence. The
settlers claim that they have no knowl-
edge, and have never been informed

has never been any dispute in regard
