PLANS To TRANFORM THE KAP|OLANI
LAGOON INTO BEAUTIFUL LAKE

Alexander S. Young, superintendent
OF Kapiolani Park, said on Saturday
morning that as soon as funds per
nlitted the lagoon at tho park which
has for long been a source of abiding
trouble to the superintendent, would
be dredged down to coral and the la
COON transformed into a beautiful or
uamental water.
AS things are at present the lagoon
is a muddy morass, the home OF the
pretty but unpopular water hyacinth
or Florida weed; and place where
mosquitoes breed by the million.
The lack of water supply keeps the
lagoon Unfinished and noisome, for
it is only in time of freshet that 1t be-
comes partly purged.
The park at present receives S1OO
month from the county and $500 a
month by legislative appropriation to
be used strictly for permanent inn
provements.
Mr. Young stated that a start might
be- made on the work of dredging in
comparatively short time but that
the work could not be completed until
9 further appropriation was made.

What is progress? asks Mrs. Martin
at the outset Of her argument. She re-
plies; "The word progress should, l
believe, be exclusively reserved to ex-
press a rise in human capacity, the,
development of higher orders of human
beings. Thus restricted, it remains,
as it should, a strictly qualitative,
never a cumulative, term. Improved
conditions conduce to progress, and
are necessary to progress, but may
exist without producing progress. Prog,
ress is something more than improve
ment. Progress means movement for
ward. "-Current Literature.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE IN
GREAT BRITAIN

We live, no doubt, in an age Of LABOR
unrest, yet there are forces working
In the direction of industrial peace.
The head of the labor department of
the British Board of Trade has issued
a report on collective agreements be-
tween employers and work people in
the United Kingdom, Within this re-
port evidence is to be found of pacific
tendencies in all the organized trades
of Great Britain. Many of the Difficult
ties of the situation are, no doubt,
connected with misunderstanding in
working agreements. The instruments
may be still imperfect; nevertheless a
large part of the industry of Great
Britain is now conducted under a
system of discussion, concession and
agreement, in place of the brutal meth
DDS of the strike and lockout. The
volume contains particulars of no few
er than 1896 collective agreements di-
rectly affecting 100000 work people,
but indirectly affecting a great many
more. The subjects dealt with treat
of piece work and its division among
groups, OF sliding scales, of the hours

attempted the ascent of the
Needle and five of them,-all members
of the Trail and Mountain club
reached the apparently inaccessible
summit. They are Gilbert Brown,
Kenneth Reidford, Watson Ballentyne,
Cyril Broderick and George Dwight.
The ascent of this peak is probably
the most difficult bit of climbing in
the islands, and has seldom been ac-
complished. Francis Cooper got near
ly to the top and then lost his hat,
and after having a strenuous time re-
covering it, gave up the ascent.
At the top the mountaineers found
a bottle containing the names of 9TH
ers who have accomplished the climb
ing feat, and they left their own
names. After resting and enjoying
the marvellous view which the peak af-
fords they got back i'm time for lunch.

WILSON TALKS OF
CORPORATIONS ANO OIL TRUST RULING

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16-Governor
Woodrow Wilson he was easily the
most important visiting parsonage
who has come among us for some
time. Carefully side-stepping any
reference to 1912 and the presidential
chair, he is making his way across
the United States, carefully cycling
local conditions, meeting everybody
who is anybody, talking politics gen
orally but quietly, and delivering
public addresses upon important
but generally non-political questions
of the day.
! In an address delivered before 5000
men and women in the Greek Theater
yesterday afternoon, Governor Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey thus cpl
dramatically summarized his opin-
ion of the United States Supreme
Court decision dissolving the Stan
dard Oil Company as follows:
Certain notorious financiers have
been taking joy rides in our corpora
tions, and now instead of Furnishing
the lawless chauffeurs we are trying
to wreak vengeance by destroying
the machines. Dissolution is posi-
BILE, but it is unnecessary. Save what
might be a useful social agency and
punish the men who have been NAL
administering it,"
Governor Wilson's address was in
terrupted by numerous outbursts OF
applause, and it was noticeable from
the start that the audience was heart
lily in accord with the sentiments he
voiced His remark that the pro
gressives were engaged in a process
of preserving business by moralizine
it," evoked three minutes of uninter
rupted cheering. His statement thai
the people were engaged in a justifi
able burglary in that they are trying
to break into their own institutions,
brought cries of Eyes, yes,", from
different parts of the amphitheater.
Governor Wilson opened his ad
dress by saying:
1--WE are no longer afraid of oul
corporations as we used to be, be
cause we are beginning to understand
just what they are, and, to some eX
tent, at any rate, just how they can
be controlled and made to serve the
purposes of our life without governing
and controlling us. There was a
time when our feeling about them
was almost one of panic. We had un-
doubtedly ourselves created them
There was no disputing the fact that
they were our creatures, made by
laws which we ourselves had enacted
and had supposed we understood;
but we stood dazed at the work of our
own hands, and not only amazed, but
awed and frightened. 1t is not a lit
tie amusing, as we look back upon
our one-time state of mind in this
matter, because, having created the
corporations, we can certainly alter
them if we please, and control them
in any way that we choose. They are
not actual persons. We made them
God did not-and we can alter the
work of our own hands as we will"

Chance For Farmers.

life of Honolulu.
Chance For Farmers.
'"There is a chance in Hawaii for
American farmers to raise crops for
the mainland. The markets in the
islands are so small that only a COM
paratively small amount of home pro
duce is used.
"The islands are in need of more
American citizens. An increase Of
the proportion of white people should
be one of the policies OF the govern
ment. The settlement of American
farmers there would be generally sue
cessful if opportunities of reaching the
right markets on the mainland should
be provided. The islands are noun
famous and more roads are needed.
Approximately 10 or IL years ago
at Wahiawa a colony of Americans
was established of about IA families.
They struggled along until finally they
settled on pineapples AS the most
suitable crop 1t developed and can
ming was taken up until farmers wio
paid about $3.50 to IS an acre were
able to sell their lands for from 500
to 5000 an acre.
"SGsal fiber is grown successfully,
although there is probably not great
profit in it. Cotton during the last
two years has been cultivated in an
experimental way in a number of
places and promises very good results,
the quality of staple being most salts
factory.
Bananas for many years have been
cultivated and exported to the main
land profitably.
"The opening of the Panama canal
will bring more ships to the islands
and make Honolulu more important
port. Calls will be made for cable
messages, coal and to land passen-
gers for break in their voyage. The
American Hawaiian line now runs to
Salina Cruz and calls at Seattle, San
Francisco and Honolulu. 1t will prob
ably make use of the canal when that
is completed
Settling Lands.
"The settlement of white farmers
depends on the government The
private landholders prefer to lease
land rather than sell it. White farm
ers prefer land in fee simple and do
not care to lease it.
Freight rates to the mainland are
much more satisfactory than rates be-
tween the islands themselves.
"The labor question is always i'm
portant to the planters. The Japanese
make the largest element on the sugar
plantations, and the planting interests
have to keep up the supply, for the
laborers are constantly leaving planta-
ton work immigration from the
Azores is being promoted at present,
as the Portuguese race which comes
from there is one of the best for labor
and is a basis for the permanent popu-
lation. They come to the islands to
stay, but prefer to leave the planta-
lions when they can better them
selves. They generally wish to &C
qu,re land to live on and cultivate.
They are thrifty, industrious, honest
and law abiding and make good citi-
zens."

Christian Science Monitor: Business
conditions in Hawaii give promise OF
expansion in trade, both domestic and
foreign, for this country's mid-Pacific
possessions, according to Sanford B.
Dole, former governor of the islands.
Mr.. Dole, who was the executive in
Hawaii from 1900, when the territorial
government was established, to 1908,
and who now as a judge of the federal
court makes his home there, is stop
ping in Boston for a few days on his
way to Europe with his wife and niece.
When seen at the Hotel Touraine to-
day he said of the islands;
Business conditions are promising.
The presence of a considerable mill
tary force tends to the promotion of
business. Supplies are mostly brought
from the United States. The families
of the American officers are good con-
sumers and add to the social life.
1.-THE United States is spending con-
siderable money in Notifications, con-
sisting of batteries of mortars and bag
guns protecting both Honolulu and
Pearl Harbor. The entrance of the
latter is about six miles away from the
entrance to Honolulu, so that some
of the batteries will protect both en-
frances.
1.-THE United States is improving
Pearl Harbor by establishing a naval
station there, building a large dry
dock for battleships and commercial
ships, and dredging. Those operations
distribute a great deal of money
among the inhabitants and employees
and make for general good business.
There are number of visitors to the
islands and they are increasing all the
time and of course also spend great
deal of money there.
General Business Good.
Sugar is the main crop and it is
prosperous one The business of rails
ing and canning pineapples comes next
and is also in prosperous condition.
Generally business seems to be in a
rise with very good prospects for the
future
Exports are mainly sugar and are
much larger than the imports. Both
show up satisfactorily and are with the
United STATES for the most part. Some
business is with Europe by way of a
few sailing vessels around Cape Horn
and quite a little across the United
States. Other business is finding its
way by a line of steamers to Salina
Cruz and across Mexico by the new
railroad
"There are a great many races there
besides the native Hawaiian and the
Anglo-Saxon or white race. There is
a large colony of Japanese, also Chi
nese, Koreans, Philippine Islanders,
Porto Ricans, Portuguese and Span
iards.
Business is largely lin the hands OF
Americans, English and Germans; that
is, the large firms engaged in import
ing and doing a wholesale business
There are many stores operated by
Japanese and Chinese, dealing largely
with their own countrymen. There
is really no social distinction except
as regards the negroes, and there are
only a few of these in the islands

and educated has the enjoyment Of

fine corporations and said they pos
sessed no inherent rights such as are
possessed by the individual, but only
such privileges as a collection of in
dividuals, forming a community, had
conferred upon them. The granting
of these privileges, he commended, car
ried the right of control.
In referring to public service cor
porations, Governor Wilson said;
"Public-service corporations, such
as railroads, street railways, gas COM
panies and companies which supply
electric light and power, are in a
still larger sense public instrumental
ties. Besides having the artificial ad-
vantages and powers conferred upon
the ordinary corporation doing what
we call private business, they are in
partnership with the government in
the laying of rails, the erection of
poles and wires and the laying of con-
duits as the means of transmitting
their service. They have had dele
gated to them the governments right
of eminent domain, the right to make
partial use of public highways, to con-
denim rights of way across pieces of
private property.
Are Natural Monopolies.
Moreover, they are in a very in.
teresting sense natural monopolies.
They generally use the pieces of land
and the roads and highways which
are most convenient to their purposes,
and most direct for effecting the com.
munication which they wish to effect;
and it is perfectly obvious that if 9th
er companies are allowed to compete
with them, there is very wasteful
duplication in outlay and equipment.
So that competition generally results
in an eventual combination of the
competing companies and the neces-
sity to charge price on what they
supply that will pay the interest on
twice as great an investment as was
really necessary for the service"
Wrong Point of View.
Governor Wilson then went on to
discuss the difficulties that had beset
the representatives of corporations
and of the Government in trying to
meet on a common ground to adjust
the relations of the two In this con-
nection he said:
"The real difficulty in the manage
ment of our corporations in recent
years has been the wrong point of
view of those who were in control of
them. They did not recognize that
they were public trustees. They act
ed as if they were conducting their
own private business. Let them
change their point of view, and there
is no problem to solve. There is no
legislation necessary if they will but
regard themselves as trustees of the
common interest, bound by consider
ations not private, but public, in the
conduct of their business"
Men of business are waking, to
look about them upon the real facts
and to make statesmen of themselves
and public men are going half way to
meet them in this new temper and
purpose of theirs. We shall yet see q
day of happy accommodation and OF
established justice"
