KAPAA P|NEAPPLES

According to statements in the
Honolulu press, Kauai is to have
one of the largest pineapple cam
ming factories in the Territory. And
it is to be located at Kapaa, right
near the beach. According to Mr..
Starrett, the government will allow
a homesteader to take land to the
amount Of forty acres. According
10 promoter Lutted, the invisible
but enormously rich pineapple Co..
then steps III and plows, plants aud
cultivates the p n S until the
harvesting Of the FIRST crop, before
asking the homcsteader for a single
cent 5 return. To make it palmer,
Mr., Lutted's Co., will advance
money to the extent of one hundred
dollars per acre to the pine grower,
this sum being a fair estimate on
the cost of producing the first crop,
which he claims will be sufficiently
large to repay the hundred dollars,
which would give the planter two
to three rattoon crops on the velvet.
Another CinCh" which is offer
ed by the government, is wherein
a number of would-be homestead
ers form an association, and apply
III lump for so many acres, and
to whom exclusive rights are given
for certain lots. This disposes of
all possibility of any one getting a
look in OH any of the lots applied
for by the association and at once
places the homesteader in position
where he can simply sit by and
conjure a picture of his golden in
come wnen the factory once gets
going.
If the establishing of pineapple
cannery in Kapaa is the bonanza
which il is said to be, there seems
little doubt but that sufficient capi-
tai could be raised right here in Lii
hue within five minutes to provide
factory to accommodate all the
pines that could be grown in Ka-
paa within the next decade. There
is no denying the fact that there is
money to be made out of pines,
and that a canning factory in Ka-
paa would be a genuine good in
vestment, but under the present
scheme, that of soliciting funds
from outsiders for the erection of
such a plant, indicates one of two
things, either our local capitalists
are asleep to the advantages of a
lucrative business, or they are too
wide awake to be dragged into a
thing which they have reasons for
believing not as represented. AT
any rate, capital for the construc-
ton of the biggest canning factory
in the Territory is being secured
from outside parties, which to say
the least, doesn't SAVIOR of being
just the right stunt.

n, BRYAN was the way the situation
looked tonight, but 10 man can pre-
tend TO read the minds OF the $50 mon
who are needed to nominate a Demo
cratic candidate. Hundreds of con
ferences are being held. The arrival
OF each delegation adds doubt and
mystery to the result. The old-i!ne
politicians as we'll as the new are up
in the alr FOR they face n new align

i've strength of the conservative and

IN the convention can disclose.
1t seems certain that Bryan is for
wilson against the field. The Clark
osople are saying so freely. Ciar<'s
hdestepping Bryan's call for support
against Parker has had little TO do
with Bryans attitude, but only served
20 Intensity It. Whether there is any
composition Of the differences as to
Parker or not. it appears tina; Bryan will
throw his strength 10 Wilson. and if
Wilson cannot he nominated, Bryan
may. It IS generally believed. by en-
tering the race, seek to save the party
from commitment to a conservative.
Tho reactionaries are mass!ng every
ounce OF tneir power against Wilson,
but some of their leaders prophesy that
Wilson VIII! win.
The Virginia delegation Will. under
the working of the uni; rule, join the
so-lorn hopo OF Underwood, ana when
he is dropped out probably Will sup
port Clark or whoever is most likely
to defea, Wilson. The organization
does not want Wilson. and 1t Will fight
him TO the last ditch.
Harmon practically has been aban-
doned by the forces that would like
TO see him elected. His campaign has
been failure. and there is little SEN
timent for him. Underwood's conserv-
atism and the sectional argument Will
smut the door OF opportunity to him.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
In line with the article OF the
18th inst. which you were good enough
to publish. and with the further in
diligence OF those who may have read
1t, there liz ono fact that the writer
would like TO add. as illustrative of
the great Importance of winning that
large and growing independent vote,
to which he referred. and that is this:
No Democrat has been elected TO the
presidency since the War Between the
States without the support of the
independent newspapers and maya zines

that Tilden had this support. go. did
Grover Cleveland. Governor Woodrow
Wilson Is the one Democrat who. It

this support.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Silt is to be regretted that mod
ern historians have omitted some facts
in the history OF old Virginia that
ought to be considered In forming a
Just opinion OF her course since l716.
George Mason objected to the Consti-
tuition II the United states because 1t
admitted of the continuation of slav-
cry; jefferson and Henry because it
admitted OF the continued election OF
the same man TO the presidency. Bet

said jefferson. and he must have
abhorred. as Mason did. the absence
of limitation as to slavery "in essc."
for he was our first emancipationist.
BE that as IL may. Jefferson's grandson.
the late Colonel Thomas Jefferson Ran
dolph. was tho leader OF the enamel
patton party in the Virginia Legisla-
ture of 1892. being ably supported by
Charles James Faulkner and Judge p.
a. Boiling. Their plan was to
have an act passed by tho l.egisla-
ture providing for gradual ema ncipa-
ton. TO be submitted to the cleo
torate OF Virginia for adoption or
rejection, counting upon the West
Virginia vote to carry It, They
had gathered all votes they needed ex-
cept seven. and these they expected
to get. What caused these votes to
fail them? 1t is the most important
question ever asked in Virginia as to
ema ncipation. 1t was fortunately eX-
planned to tho writer by Colonel Thos
T. Randolph himself since our Civil
War Tho reason why tho seven votes
failed the emancipation party of that
time was because OF the overenGerness

VACATIONS RIGHT AT HOME.

1t is with pleasure that we publish
two letters on this page concerning
the recreation possibilities In Rich
mond. especially for boys. Tho widG-
spread interest in this phase of city
life gives strong ground for hope that
within short time Richmond may
have the facilities her younger citizens
require for tho best development OF
both health and character. We pointed
equipped and opened River Young
Mems Christian Association. One OF
our correspondents shows that practi-
cally at our very doors is an oppor
tunity to create similar water play
ground at small cost. II Mayo's Jslaud
rowing and athletic headquarters for
tho boys of tho community, located, rs
1t Is. in tho heart OF the city. 1t would
enable thousands to take real vaca-
lions right at home with no greater
expense than carfare. A few hours
mean better workmen and better cit
icons and happier children.
The poor man cannot think of the
mountains or the beach. lie has nell
Their the time nor money. But he
needs vacation and some sort of play
more than any other element in the
community. AS n producer of wealth
and an economic factor he should be
cared for His health and strength
are assets that cannot he valued too
highly. Moreover his right to happi-
ness must not DO overlooked. NatS=e
has furnished Richmond a substitute
for the beach But small advantage -
taken of it.
Ono single fact Will emphasize
the valuo of this plan. Already this
summer boy of twelve has been
drowned while seeking fun in swim
ming. The annual toll OF life from
this cause is heavy. Others will be
drowned this year. Boys will swim.
They should get the exercise and pleas
uro They should he taught. BY eX-
pending just enough to build a pool
on tho James. and stretch q few ropes
for safety, and hire one man as life
guard. countless mothers would be
spared hours OF anxiety while their
sons have gone swimmin'." and pos
sible sacrifice OF life avoided. Can the
city not afford to tax itself in this
small amount for It's own health and
pleasure?
