The attempt of colored mass meeting in New Haven, led by negro preachers, to distort Governor Baldwin's remarks at the recent convention of governors in Richmond, into an endorsement of lynch law for negroes, is too far-fetched to merit even casual consideration. Their resolution of denunciation cannot harm Governor Baldwin in che slightest de- gree, but simply makes the negroes of New Haven ridiculous.

PROTECTION IS NECESSARY
TO MAINLAND BEET INDUSTRY

An interesting discussion of the
sugar tariff proposition as it affects
the beet industry in the United states
is found in an editorial of the San
Francisco Chronicle Of June 21, ar.
irving by the Ventura this morning.
II says:
THE sugar trust has no claims on
the forbearance of the American peo-
pie except whatever credit We may
choose to allow for the fact that
new men are now in control of it
who, so far as known, are conduct
ing the business decently.
In process of time the public will
become educated to distinguish be-
tween an industry and it's organiza-
ton and the particular individuals
who. for the time being, are in charge
of it.
ut may well be that individuals in
charge of an industry should be in
the penitentiary, while the industry
ITSELF. and even the form of its or
ganizatiOn, should be maintained and
cherished.
1T is by no means certain that the
public would derive any benefit, and
it might derive lasting injury5b by the
success of the government suit for
the dissolution of the American SUI
gar Refining Company, but it is i'm
portant, if it has not already been
done, that the sugar refining compa-
ny should be forbidden to have any
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-06-28

interests in beet sugar factories.
The legitimate business of the
American Sugar Refining Company is
the refining Of cane sugar, nearly all
of which is imported.
The natural competition of that
company is with domestic beet sugar
and that competition should be main
tanned and is sufficient If the do
nestle industry can be protected ry
duty from undue competition from
imported cane sugar, and on the 9th
er hand, from being absorbed and
controlled by its natural competitor,
we shall do well enough, and in due
time we shall produce in our own
country whatever sugar we need.
The advantage of a beet sugar
factory to local communities is great.
It provides a great amount of bust
ness by which farmers, workingmen
and business men profit. 1t is also a
source of supply of sugar to the
country surrounding it,
But the beet sugar industry can
not exist in the United States in free
competition with imported cane and
beet sugar except by reducing the
standard of life of those who pro-
duce the commodity to the standard
of life of their foreign competitors.
To that end the tariff must be re-
tanned.
But neither can it expand and
prosper, even if protected by a duty,

IRRIGATION WATER FOR
FRUITDALE DISTRICT

From the present outlook the
Fruitdale people will have water in
their ditch early in June. The pump
is connected up and the pipe line
laid from there over across the dat
and up TO and across the river road
aud the men are now at work clear
ing the place for the pipe up the
hill where it will empty into the
ditch on the mountain side. Receiver
Soranson says that the water will be
delivered to all parties on the ditch
up to the point completed last year.
From that on there is aOout ten rods
of hard digging, when a point will
be reached where little or no work
will be required, simply the cleaning
out of the loose dirt. Just how many
acres will be put under water below
this ditch this season, has not yet
been determined The extra work
necessary to complete the ditch to
supply considerable number of 9TH
er farms will be given in exchange
to those who take the water.
