FAIRBANKS TAKES Up
CRY Of WAGE Farmers
Former Vice President Of the
United States Tells Method
lists q Few Things.
Says Laborer Has Come to Feel
That the Church Is Not
Sympathetic Enough.

At the Ecumenical Methodist con-
ference held in Toronto last week
Charles W. Fairbanks. former vice
president Of tho United States, who
had been invited to speak. took up
tho cry Of the laborer and told the
Methodists a few things that ought
to have some weight with them.
The Men and Religion movement
ought to send for Mr.. Fairbanks,
and have him repeat the speech in
every city in America where the
movement is to be conducted. It
might serve to allay some Of the op-
position with which it is confronted.
Hits Nail on Head.
Mr.. Fairbanks told his hearers that
inequality Of wages for men and wo-
mon working under like conditions,
Is an affront Of the spirit of Chris
tian} religion. The progress OF the
nations in the last analysis is meas
ured by the real progress of woman
herself.
The laborer has become merged
In the machinery of which he is
such an important part, and he has
come to feel too frequently that the
great church is not sympathetic to-
ward him. Industrial peace will
come through the influence Of the
Christian religion. .,s'.: -......:
I'VE must strive regardless Of con-
sequence to ourselves. We must
come to the point where We will take
bankruptcy rather than do injustice
to our ,workmen." ~ ~

SUGAR. HOMESTEADS AND
HAWAII'S PUBLIC LANDS

Editor Evening Bulletin: in
your issue of August 8 there is an open
letter to the Delegate, ini which APP
pears n number of errors, few or
which / win point out, In which It's
author suggests that when leases OF
lmhlic lands revert to the government
they should he offered for release In
small areas to encourage homestead
ing. Has not the government for some
years been forfeiting not only high rem
tails for land and water, but. ut frac-
ton of its real value, the fee ms well
to large areas of developed lands In
order to encourage homeStcadinS
without accomplishing much in the way
Of legitimate homestcading?
In referring to the Report of the
WAYS and Means Committee on Senate
Resolution No. 10, IL Is stated that this
resolution seeks to secure the cane
lands to the plantation without any
change except to pay slightly in
creased :enta'
As matter Of fact, the committees
report and the resolution as it passed
both houses distinctly states that tho
object and intent was to make the de-
velopcd lands and waters yield the
maximum revenue, and the proposed
act fully provides for the accomplish
ment of that object, The Legislature,
which passed the resolution by vote
of two to one, had ample evidence to
warrant the vote cast In the interests
of all the people and not for prlvi-
legged few, who, incorporating under
the guise of "homesteaders," have de-
prived the government of not only
much needed revenue, but the fee of
valuable lands as well which they have
not homesteaded in accordance with
the spirit of the law, but exploited for
their own selfish ends at the expense of
the Territory.
In another place the following state
ment appears:
"The plantation corporations are
credited by this report with the lease
of 42S.13l acres, or nearly half of all
the lands lcased by the government.
out of the 42S,131 acres of these lands
leased. to the sugar plantations, 35,O42
acres We're cane lands ON these cane
lands We're raised and exported To the
United States in the year Of 1910 sac
lG25,27i worth of sugar. This gives the
plantation nearly s122 per acre for the
sugar produced half of which Is clear
profit"
This above fallacious statement Is on
q par with those usually spread broad
east against the main industry of the
TERRITORY, and because they appear in
the press are taken as gospel truth
by those who, owing to their lack of
knowledge of the true conditions, arc
incapable of detecting the errors OF
computation and argument.
Your correspondent inlers that all OF
the sugar produced in the Territory
last year was harvested from the 30,

Oi2 acres of Public cane lands. AS n
matter of fact, there are nearly 25O,ooO
acres of cane land in the Territory un-
der cultivation of which about one
seventh IL Public Land. Si2,625,47i d.

as stated by your correspondent, who
also states that one-half of 1922 value
of sugar produced per acre Is clear
profit, or by inference that SCI profit IL
earned per acre from sugar.
Assuming that the average cost per
ton of sugar landed at market in New
York is SEQ and that the selling price
of same is $75, with yearly crop of
| 500, 900 tons, the annual profit from the
$50 600 acres of cane land under cult
alton in the Territory would be ST.

portion of which, before the net returns
to the land are determined, is to be

Thirty thousand people turned out to

Both men went much higher than
they did yesterday, Parmalee reaching
an altitude of 1000 feet and Turpln go
ing about the same height.
The aviators say that they found
practically no support for their bIplanes

for that reason they made no attempt
TO get much higher than they went to-
day. Plans for circling Pixies Peak had
to be abandoned.

( This Is the Case With Many Rock Is

Too many Rock Island citizens are
handicapped with a bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis-
cry, making work a burden and
STOPPING or lifting an impossibility.
The back aches at night, preventing
refreshing rest and in the morning
is stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief, but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid

their efficiency.
