JUDD SAYSCIIY
SHOULD PREPARE
FOR 100000
Points to Wet Lands as Factor
Against Growth Along
Right Lines I

Declaring that Honolulu will have
10000 population in 1927, that the
citizens in general are asleep SO far as
planning public improvements to meet
this vast growth, and that in particu-
lar Honolulu's vast areas of wet agri-
cultural land must be broken UP, Sen
ator A. f. Judd addressed deeply in
terested gathering of citizens yester-
day afternoon in the public service
association rooms. Z 5&
The meeting was that of the civic
federation, hut the attendance en-
braeed several non-members and the
gathering was a representative one,
Several road experts and mining en-
gineers were present, and the sena-
tors address and discussion afteFward
cfystalHzed into action, in the form
of motion to take up the plan of a
big trunk sewer along the Waikiki
section of the city. Cooperation with
the federal authorities to make this
trunk sewer serve Fort De Russy, is
necessary. ...--. 80.

that the present laws for opening

had failed to effect the improvements

He brought up the tenement house
question. urging that land should be
made available for the building of cot
tages to do away with the congested
tenement house system. "A compre-
hensive plan for improvements along
these lines is needed" he asserted,
beginning at the wharves and radiat-

first that there is absolute necessity
for immediate action, and being a unit

would provide the method, and took
occasion to draw. attention to the de-
cision of the supreme court yesterday
affirming the validity of the health
reclamation act He also urged that
the proposed improvement bill that
will go to the next legislature be
given wide publicity as soon as pos
sible so that its meaning may be ia

There was considerable discussion
after Mr.. Judd finished his address,
mainly as to the details of local i'm

The newly awakened consciousness
O, the right Of the people to decide
things for themselves took a unique
turn in Kansas City recently, when a
referendum was held to determine as
to whether smoking should be allowed
on the street-ears of the city. There
lave always been quite axnumber OF
very decent people who could not un-
derstand why they should be forced
to submit to the stencil Of A varieties
OF pipes, ell cabbagoes, two-fors, coffin-
rails, etc, simply because a minority
of smokers assumed the right to poi;
lite the air in this way. And this time
they got their revenge. &
There was a great squabble over
smoke rule adopted by the street-ear
company and the company took the
politic course of leaving the matter to
testing public opinion on the SUBJ s"t
vote of its patrons. The method OF,

company about $4,000. The balloting

NOW PLANS TO LET
sHOMESTEADERS MAKE GOOD

more in the way of education I'd con-
vince them of what demonstrating
really is.
AS one method Of accomplishing
this policy there was adopted some
time ago a system of reports made
TO the land commission by the diff
ferent land agents from time to time
upon the condition of the different
homesteads taken up under the new
laws, and the way in which the home
steaders were carrying out their con-
ditions.
In other words, the administra-
ton proposes to keep track of the
tomesteaders rignt along, and warn
instead of waiting, as was previously
the case, for number of years until
they apphed for their patents and
having trouble all around
The getting of reports in regard
to honesteaders from time to time
will have its counterpart in the get
ting Of reports also from time to time
as to how the different plantations
are treating thei ehomesteaders in
their neighborhoods, and the warning
of the plantations if that shall be
found necessary in case they are not
treating the homesteaders as fairly
and favorably as the administration
thinks they should"
Briefly, the plan is to assist the
homesteaders materially in making
good, both by showing them what
they must do and by obtaining fair
treatment for. them d from the big
plantations with which they may
have to deal This matter already
has been taken up with the home
steaders, at Waiohinu and Hakalau,
notices being sent to some home
steaders personally and to attorneys
representing certain groups Of them.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE
IMMIGRATION LAW.

The New York State Board of
Alienists has given much study to the
problem of remedying the admitted
defects of the present immigration
law and now recommends certain
amendments to the act of Feb. 90,
1907, which it feels are practicable
anAwould go far toward relieving the
existing conditions.
The first of these recommendations
is that it should be unlawful for any
transportation company to bring in
sane persons into the United States.

Everyone ought to cultivate a

remember-have arbor days of his
own
Where family has been sentimen-
tai enough to do this you will find
trees about the house named John,
Henry, Susie, Clara, ETC., in memory
of the birth Of the children. You
will see a tree somewhere near the
gate called the telephone tree, because
it was planted the year the telephone
was put in the house.
There will be another tree some.
whore near that one called the free
delivery tree, commemorating the year
the mail was first brought to the
door. There will also be some small
trees, among them the auto tree, in
memory of the first automobile own

remember the thrill experienced upon
seeing the first aeroplane.

BETTER THAN STRIKES AND
POLITICS,

Knowing already the fine spirit and
the uncommon ability with which Pres
dent Vail of the Western Union has
been addressing himself to the prob
lens of modern industrialism,, we are
not surprised at his announcement of
scheme of retiring pensions, for the
, thousands of employees of that vast
system. But anybody that has not
| looked into the facts may well be sur
prised at the rapid progress of the pen
sion idea in this country and in
Europe 1t is fast getting to be the
rule rather than the exception for
great employers of labor to provide,
either out of their own means solely
or else with the aid Of contributions
from the employees themselves, for
the support of the latter in their old
age and in times of disability. Mr.
Vail declares that faithful and efficient
employees are entitled to such insur
ance against want; but it also seems
to be amply demonstrated that the
/ policy is paying one from the EN-
ployers' point of view. They get thei
money back, and more besides, through
the superior loyalty and efficiency o
the men.
And such employers are seldom

BEST WAY TO SET POSTS.

After many years experience j
have concluded by placing the small
end of the post in the ground. A
post will last much longer than with
the large end down. The reason for
this is obvious. When limbs are cut
off it always leave a cut that holds
more or less water and where worms
have worked the holes are always
downward. These poles hold some
moisture, but by placing the top end
down this moisture runs out and
leaves the post dry.
At first thought 1t looks as though
the post with the large end up
would not make a good appearance.
However, says an expert in Farm and
Home, 1 have generally found that
the large end is the straight end, and
frequently there is crook at the
small end. If this be placed in the
ground, the fence when completed
looks much better. / also have found
that small posts for wire fence last
longer than large ones, for they dc
not hold moisture as long. A post
should never be reset until it is well
seasoned. The end posts should al
ways be placed in concrete; then
there need be no bracing or anchors
used.

ture, and he found it in the increasing
prevalence of schemes for profit-shar-
ing. If, as we take it, service pensions
are really form of profit-sharing, we
strongly incline to our correspondents
view. We only wish it might be spread
more widely while we in our turn are
following England's example and in
dulging in a strike of coal miners. We
should be glad to see the principle ap-
piled in that particular industry and in
those very mines in which the strike
habit seems to be chronic.
For we are entirely unwilling to be-
lieve that the strike-habit is incurable
and we have precious little faith in
any of the political remedies prescrib-
ed for it. Profit sharing and service
pensions are non-political devices.

the actual working of modern indus
trial methods and conditions, out of
the brains of the men who understand
those methods and conditions best
Sooner or later of course, politics will
take account of them. Let us all
trust, however, that by that time they
will be so thoroughly established and
so fully developed that even the poll
ticians will be unable to make mess
of them.-Harper's Weekly.
