Where does the money come from? For the
nine months of this year ended with September,
shipments of merchandise from Hawaii to all
parts declined 50, 168 066 as compared with the
corresponding period Of last year, yet the i'm
ports of merchandise from all parts increased
s., 1886 1896 on the same comparison Larger pur-
chases with smaller visible purchasing power af-
fords problem expressed in the question above
asked. The surplus money does not all come
from the federal governments expenditures here
for defenses and navigation improvements, for
the increase in imports from the motherland is
little more than twice that in imports from for
eign countries. Hawaiis foreign trade has it's
own curious feature, in an increase of nearly one
and quarter million dollars. of imports, while
exports show gain of only $271 1856 which, but
for an increase of shipments to the Philippines
accounted for by sugar factory plant made
here would have been decrease of more than
one hundred thousand dollars. The official re-
turns yield declines all down the list of foreign
countries, with that just noted the sole import,
ant exception, in the amount of exports hereto
Domestic merchandise shipped from Hawai-
to the United States during the nine months
mentioned amounted to $36,512 ,469, which is
$1OO84 ,05S less than for the corresponding pc
Yiod in 1912. Foreign merchandise shipped
hence to the mother country in the same time
was So, 125, gain of $44036, making the net
decline Of exports to the mainland, $10, 040022.
Shipments of domestic merchandise direct to
foreign countries amounted to $621, 239, being an
increaseof $2T9,556 over the same period last
year. Foreign goods to foreign countries made
$685., decrease of $780, so that the net gain
lin foreign exports was $o71 $50.
Imports of domestic merchandise from the
United States to Hawaii during the first three
quarters Of this year were $22,S89,057, being an
excess of $2,669, 1872 over those for the CORE
spending period in 1912. Foreign merchandise
received through the states amounted to $780,
S97, or ,5S4 less than for the same time last
year, making the net increase Of imports from
the mother country $2,654,64s.
Direct imports from foreign countries to Ha-
vail amounted to $5,672,297 for the nine
months, being an increase Of 8, 231 s4s over the
same period last year. -
The grand total of exports for the first three
quarters of this year was $37, 194 ,379, against
SAG, &c., 445 for the corresponding period last
year, a decline Of So, 76S, 066. The grand total
Of imports was 2S71s,251, against $24 1871 ,s55,
an increase of $3,ss6, 1896. These figures show
an aggregate commerce for Hawaii for the period
under review of $65, 912 $50, as compared with
$71 ,794 300 for the corresponding portion of last
year, or decline of 1881 $40.

to complain that Mike" Forgot aged

overstepped all the bounds OF paren-

by the authorities. The two mothers
declared that their sons would not

They were told that the matter
would be looked into, and went home,

the two boys were busily engaged In
tearing the Petko family cook stove
from It's mOorings, and selling 1t to q

NeighbOrs informed Mrs. Petko that
Louis and Mike had departed, with

LANSING Mich. June 6.-Attorney
Alfred Lucking. representing the

and Detroit contractors and builders,
argued before the Michigan Railroad
commission here, yesterday. against
the proposed change In switching
rates on building materials by the
Michigan Central railroad. Officials
OF the road met MIR. Lucking argu-
ments with the plea that the present
rates do not pay cost OF operation.
Mr. Lucking declared that the pro-
posed increase would greatly heighten
the cost OF paving, county road build
ing and all construction work, and pro-
duced figures to- substantiate his state
ments. II was stated that the cost
OF constructing a factory building OF
any size would be increased $500.
The proposed raise in rC$es amounts
to $500 per ton. which would make
the new charge $1,000.

The Century of Peace

10 1t not rs plain as q pikestaff that
the formal celebration OF century
OF peace between two nations is bound
to lead to bloodshed? II Is upon that
foundation of cubist logic that British
suffragettes and laborites and Irish
irreconcilables are protesting against
the contemplated ceremonies In con.
nectiOn with the hundredth anniver-
sary OF the signing Of the treaty OF
Client. We don't imagine that Gen
eral Drummond and her followers are
really convinced that an affirmation
Of AngloAmerican amity will mean
war with Germany. 1t is simply too
good an opportunity for throwing a
few stones through a window and II
1t happens to be the windows OF the
temple OF peace, that doesn't matter.
To sabotage peace mission Is
piquant novelty and good advertising.
Keeping this fact In mind. We may
steer our way through the argument
that the peace Of the world Is pro.
noted by warship competition, and
that the peace Of the world is endan-
gered when two nations express the
desire to live at peace with each
other.-New York Evening Post
