new INDUSTRY
GIVES PROMISE

There Is new industry opening up
for the islands and that is the cult
walton of the kukui nut. Experiments
carried out by the department of
chemistry in connection with the
United States Bureau of Agriculture
seem to show that the oil produced
from the nut is OF better quality
than castor oil. Food Commissioner
Edward b. Blanchard IL sending away
two sacks full of the nuts to the de-
partment and they will carry out ex-
periments.
In letter written recently to the
food commissioner, +. l.. Dunlap, act
ing chief of the chemistry depart
ment, asks for 100 pounds of Aleuritis
triloba or candle or Kukui nuts of the
Hawaians. He also wants the food
commissioner to find out whether they
can be cultivated and purchased and
the approximate cost.
The oil from them. he states. seems
to have much promise as a medicinal
agent in place of castor oil.
In his answer Mr.. Blanchard stated
that he could not get any price on the
nuts as there had never been any sale
for them. 4Vi

some of his lnsurgent colleagues have
at times been unwilling to speak to
him, and yet sooner or later the
wounds were healed, at least suflci-

much fear is mingled
For La Toilette not on,y seems to
achieve his ends; he will do some
things that the people insist in their
blindness on remembering. They are
aware that he was the author of the
first direct primary law, that of Wis
consin; that the railroad laws he drew
and had passed in that State have
served as models for many another.
They know that he told the truth
about the Payne tariff from the be-
ginning, and they are certain to think
well of his efforts to pass the wool
bill and to tighten other tariff bur-.
dens, even II his prestige as leader
was good deal shattered in the clos
ing days of the session, and even
though he, like the other Insurgents,
took a wholly wrong and Inconsistent
course in the matter of Canadian rec
iprocity. At a distance, people can
not be expected to pass upon mans
sincerity as do his colleagues; nor
can they measure the full extent of
that undoubted personal ambition to
which the Tribunc's correspondent re-
ferred. La Toilette could, says an en-
thusiastie biographer, who counts him
the originator of the whole great po-
llitical revolution going on in this
country, have been the premier OF the
Wisconsin bar, but political life was
inevitable" There can be no ques-
ton of La Follette's loyalty to La Fol-
lettc or the sincerity of his belief that
he is predestined for the White House.
"To pass as accurate judgment on
this mans character, his soundness,
or his achievements, is not possible
at the present time. We would mere

can National Convention. More than
that, II is indisputable that in accom-
plishmcnt, whether il be judged good
or bad Mr.. La Toilette was leader
of the Senate during the extra session.
To him was turned over the shaping
of the Senates course in conference
with the House on the wool bill and
other important matters. In some of
these his carefully laid plans failed
of execution. His alliance with the
Democrats went to pieces, with con-
siderable injury to his prestige. But
the fact remains that he was more
prominent than any other Republican
leader In House or Senate. And yet
the Tribune declares him timid DEM
agogue, and the President, the leader
OF the party, is going out to La Fol-
lette's own State to make speeches
against him or his policies.
When before In the history of the
Republican party was there such an
extraordinary situation? There have
been, of course, schisms and bitter
battles over patronage. But here the
question Is one primarily of party pol
ity. with the Insurgents led by u man
who has the confidence and backing
of great Republican State. On the
Democratic side the feud between Hill
and Cleveland may be recalled, but
there the parallel is not very close.
The truth is that the split in the par
ty between the Progressives and the
Conservative Republicans has widened
steadily during the session just closed,
and that within "a year of Presiden-
tial campaign II finds itself rent in
twain. while the leader of the revolt,
despised and hated and feared as he
is by most of his colleagues, has found
himself more and more In the popu-
lar eye. He is naturally the kind Of
man of whom "stories" are written.
Only six years ago, as we recalled the
other day, his associates gave him,
on his arrival in Washington, the least
conspicuous Craftsmanship available
and trusted that he would busy him
self exclusively with the Potomac
River flats. Today, In. possession of
the best seat In the Senate, his words
are listened to by thousands the coun.
try over, particularly In the Middle
West, where he Is ranked by some as
political Moses, the man who more
than any other has helped the people
to rule in place of the politicians. Sc

HAWAII MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN LA TOILETTE
AND TAFT.

Official announcement of Senator La
Follette's candidacy for the Presidency
Is most important one TO the Re-
publcans of Hawaii, because the only
occasion ON which the people of this
Territory have any opportunity TO ex-
crcise the franchise in voting for the
President IL through their delegates
to the national nominating conven-
tion.
Republicans of Hawaii must take
sides as between Taft and La Toilette,
the tarilf-supporting Republicans and
the tarif-revising Republicans.
There will be strong influences
drawing In both directions. With La
Toilette will probably be found the
Insurgcnt Republicans of the United
States Senate, William Kent and other
lnsurgent Republicans Of Congress.
Behind the scenes, working like a
Trojan, will he Rudolph Spreckels,
who has been one of La Follctte's en-
thusiastic supporters since he has
undertaken public work.
Among the national journals sup
porting la Toilette will be the Amer
lean Magazine, with which Ray Stan
nard Baker Is associated, and Golfers
Weekly
Judging from what La Toilette and
his associates have said at one time
or another, the combination will prob
ably attack the sugar tariff vigorously,
and Hawaii may come In for share
oi the criticism.
Judging from some things that he
has said of late, Roosevelt thinks bet
ter of La Toilette than he did while
President, but to one who reads the
outlook, the magazine seems to be
Democratic nomination for Woodrow
Wilson.
