EDITOR GARDEN ISLAND
DEAR SIR:
Kindly d wise subscriber
through the columns of your paper
on particulars regarding actions
taken by the United States relative
to the Magdelina Bay situation
and h final outcome Of the
fortifcation OF the Panama Canal.
READER. "
In June last, at the time of the
affair between our nation and
Japan, the U. S. Senate took the
occasion to restate the Monroe
Doctrine in no uncertain terms.
About that time, too, the daily
press discussed the matter both
fav9Sably and unfavorably. Sen
atoG1~odge, however, introduced
the following resolution which the
Senate adopted by a vote OF 81 to
4. Some papers regard the resol-
ution as too militant, others say
that it is fair, but to the point.
= The restatement follows:
Resolved: That when any har-
Dor, or other place in the Amer
lean continents is so situated that
the occupation thereof for naval or
military purposes might threaten
the communication or safety OF
the United States, the government
of the United States could not see,
without grave concern, the posses
sion of such harbor or other place
by any corporation or association
which has such relation to an
other government not American
as to give that government prac-
tical power of control for naval or
military purposes.
THE PANAMA CANAL. BILL
AS regards the fortifying of the
Panama Canal, the Senate passed
in August. the Panama Canal Ad-
mInfstration Bill, W h c h has
aroused much discussion a | !
over the civilized world. 1t pro-
vides for one man to control the
canal instead o { a commission;
denies the use of the canal to
ships owned by competitive rail
roads; empowers t h Interstate
Commerce Commission to compel
a reparation of railroad and water
carriers, wherever their union is
prejudicial to the public's interest;
exempts American vessels engaged
in the coastwise trade from the
payment of tolls unconditionally;
and those American ships engaged
n foreign trade are likewise
exempted from the payment of all
tolls, provided that their owners
agree to sell them to the govern
ment in the event of war or other
extreme emergency.

instruction,
Honolulu, Hawaii.
Dear Sir:
l have examined with much in
terest and pleasure the course of
study for the elementary schools
of the Territory of Hawaii, which
you were kind enough to send me
On the whole, it seems to me ex-
cellent. 1t is much better thought
out than most courses of this kind
which come to me. 1t seems to
be based on sound principles and
worked out with a good under
standing of the interests and capa-
cities of children, as we'll as with
some understanding of the real
purpose of school work. Again, l
like tn close rticulation of the
work of different years and o f
different courses, and l am es-
pecially pleased with the amount
of good literature which you are
giving to the children of Hawaii.
I have to make only the follow
ing suggestions:
/. Possibly more of the history
of Hawaii could be given in the
lower grades.
2. The outline of work in
arithmetic is, l believe. based on
wrong principles, though it is in
keeping with that which is most
common in this country. This
happens to be a subject to which
have given most careful attention
and in which l have experimental
a great deal, Long ago found
that more than a third of the time
given to arithmetic might be saved
and much better results obtained
at t h e same time by a logical
arrangement of the regular work
l have found the following ar
rangement to be effective: The

FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF THE TENNESSEE
Congressional Aid Assured As
sOCiatiOn at South Pittsburg.

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn, Nov
t5.-With over one hundred delegates
present the sixteenth annual session of
the Tennessee River Improvement As
sociation was held here today, presid-
ed over by President John A. Patten,
of Chattanooga. The delegates we're
welcomed by Mayor W. II. Wilson and
responses we're made by Senator New
ell Sanders. Congressman John A.
Moon, Gen. John L. Miller and 9TH
els.
After the presentation of the report
of President Patton, which dealt with
the work accomplished on the Tennes
see River for the past year, Senator
Sanders delivered an address, in which
he predicted great things for the river
aud the territory through which it
flows
The positive announcement Of Con-
gresham Moon that Congress would
appropriate $6, 700. 600 for the improve
ment of the stream during the next
five years, aroused the delegates to a
high pitch of enthusiasm. Judge Moon
stated that the plan of the Improve
ment Association would certainly be
carried out, contemplating the expend-
iture of the above amount. and that
aside from this program, which has al
ready been adopted by Congress, ad-
ditional appropriations for the river
will be made. which will run into
many millions. He declared that the
entire country had come to recognize
the Importance of the river, which
ranks third in the country in size and
length
Sheffield. Ala was selected as the
place for the meeting next year All
the old officers were reelected, togeth-
er with several additional vice-presi
dents.
Following the adjournment of the
meeting. the delegates were entertain
ed at luncheon..by South Pittsburg off

from which the parcel is sent; the sec
ond zone represents a distlnce between
so and $50 miles, the third $50 to 300,
the fourth 300 to 600, the fifth 800 to
1000, the sixth 1000 to 1400 seventh
400 to 1900, and the eighth all areas
beyond 1900 miles from the sending
office.
The first pound. or part of a pound,
costs five cents for the first zone and
increases one cent for each additional
zone. Additional pounds start at three
cents and increase one cent for each
additional zone, except the sixth and
eighth. where the increase is two
cents For small packages and short
distances these rates are much cheaper
than present express rates AMI cheaper
than the present rates for fourth class
mail. But for parcels of over five
pounds. and distances over 1000 miles,
they closely approximate the usual ex-
press charges, and for the larger par
eel and longer distances exceed them.
Express companies do not seem to
be worried over the matter, aB it will
probably deprive them of but small
part of their most undesirable busi-
ness
Present express rates, too, are now
being considered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and may be
materially reduced on the smaller
packages. The Postoffice Department
also has power to modify the prol o>rd
Parcel Post rates, and it is not unlike
ly that grauual reduction will be
made just as was done with general
postage.
