rments used in defense Of the Wilson Underwood
program is that the abolition Of the sugar tariff
will reduce the high cost of living. This argu-
ment is now receiving some healthy "swats' by
Democratic congressman themselves. who say
that they are pledged to support the freesugar
program and yet have no faith that such a pro-
gram means a great deal of relief TO the ultimate
consumer.
Ii has been estimated, and the figures are now
out before congress that a reduction in the tariff
IN sugar will save the consumer about forty
eDts Il year. Leather, if placed on the free list
might reduce the cost of boots and shoes two or
three cents per pair Similar slight reductions
nav be made in other necessities of life but the
aggregate will be only few dollars per year.
which will be much more than offset by the low
er wages that will be paid by industries hit
through the disastrous free-trade program.
The tariff fight is not won or lost yet. There
are numerous indications of weakening in the
formidable wall that Underwood and the house
caucus has built UP. There are numerous indi.'
cations of dissensOn among the Democrats and
Of failure onthe part of their constituents to sup
pert the Wilson Underwood bill All this will
have its effect when the senate settles down to
the bitter fight
In the meantime, there is no reason for Ha-
waii to despair. We in Hawaii know the injus-
tice that would be visited upon this territory by
a party bound by political pledges. And it is
hard TO believe that the right kind of fight for
sugar, waged on the basis of justice and the
facts, will not aid in blocking the tariff bills

PHYSICAL VALUATIONS OF HAWAIIAN RAILROADS

Though the territorial senate killed the con-

railroads under the control of the new public

commission is preparing to make physical val

All Men Are Dreamers.

We may rejoice that il takes far less int elli-
gence today to realize that great man may
and must be a great dreamer and that all
men are far more dreamers than they will
acknowledge than II did before coasts were
linked with coasts continents apart by rail-
ways. speech sent through the air, and the
air navigated.
Somebody thought these things might be
done Until their thought could be worked
out 1t was considered a dream, often a wild
and impossible one.
These long ridIculed dreams of flying we
know now were always constructive dreams,
but II took many failures and heartaches,
and even blighted careers to prove this to the
world.
A constructive dream IS no different from
action, q high type Of action. and in the
end will show itself to be II 1t is realized
1t il action with the greatest faith in itself.
for It can go on acting or doing without see
ing the concrete ends which men demand
What the constructive dreamer has. this
perfect confidence to go on dreaming even
when seeming to fail in practical things, is
exactly what is considered the one and su-
premely excellent Possession of the most
successful men of action. These men sue
coed because they do not falter. because
they believe what they are doing can be
done.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-05-18
A Dream Is an Enthusiasm.

Even when a mans efforts are to proys
vain he is sustained in doing them by a sort
of dream or Illusion II he could see the use
lessness OF the end he proposes to himself
he could not 80 on, but his dream carries
him on unhesitatingly.
Confidence Is the mother Of action. and
whatever sustains 1t is as important as The
action itself
A French writer has recently said that
the blindness OF men is the condition OF their
life, blindness that constitutes the SUBJ
stance OF q dream, a dream OF something
hoped for and not yet seen. and in the end
realized because the dream is sustained until
the definite substance Of 1t becomes a prac-
teal fact OF life
There Is perhaps but one class OF men who
do not dream but do act They are the au-
donations. Something without themselves
started them going. and they go on automat-
ically without any new emotion about ac-
ton such as a dream brings Yet It is often
from this class, as well as from the class Of
men greatly inefficient in any sort OF action.
that there arise men Of perverted and de-
structive dreams The first class come to
hate the automatic round of their lives They
fall into a sort Of somnolence with no true
dreams, for the thing they dream of is to es-
cape from action. action which is necessary
10 any normal existence. The inefficient are
tormented by Jealous dreams of getting some
thing for nothing. but any dream worth
while is only worked out at definite cost.
To which class. my dreamer, do you be-
long? Do you hesitate to say? Are you
afraid to analyze the activities of your mind
10 find out just what 1t is producing in the
way Of dreams7 Do you make the excuse
that II you tried to set Up a double mirror
for those dreams of yours they would be no
longer dreams. that TO analyze them would
be deadly process?
A dream is an enthusiasm. No analysis
can murder an enthusiasm unless 1t is al
ready sick. You cannot weaken a vital IN
stinct that has not already become anamic.
by analyzing t.
II you have the vital instinct. the enthust-
asm, the high hope Of life, which leads you
20 dream dreams that are realizable, you
will not be afraid Of looking at them front
and back
