SUGAR COMMENTARIES.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:-I don't know that | can say
anything new TO assist in STAYING Of
what appears TO be solar pleAus blow
row aimed at Hawaii through its chieI
industry In fact, don't think that
can coin or invent new word that
could be used in an argc :nent that has
not been used many hundreds OF times
before during the last few months, and
mad about concluded that my little
butt in" would be of no value as com
pared with the many able writer's who
have held forth on the ubject, but III
looking over funny picture the other
night | was convinced that it was my
duty to take an oar" in the fight The
Picture refer to vas: First picture
a voter ON election morning. passing
tight by the voting booth with the re-
mark, Its no use for me TO go In
and vote Brown is SO awful popular
that he will be elected without MY
help The companion picture shows
the same man attempting to pull his
hair out, over the fact that there were
several others in the same town that
thought the same as he did in regard
to Browns popularity and did not
vote, and as consequence, Brown
vas defeated by small majority So
/ concluded that Hawaii was not so
popular, even if she was the Paradise
of the Pacific, but what she needed
every man and every woman to get in
line and vote.
There is going to be no preamble to
this, leading up to the subject. but |
am going to start right in with the.
avowal that | now believe with the
rest that free sugar is going to let us
all down with a dull thud If something
does not happen, and happen in
hurry.
Hawaii's 100000 and more tons are
landed in the United States free of
duty and in competition with Cuba
alone. putting aside all the rest of the
world where sugar is produced in large
quantities. gives Hawaii an advantage
of $1.34 per hundred pounds. This OF
itself has been the incentive of devel-
oping sugar cane raising to the high
est state of science in these islands.

Ed Howe FINDS
DRINKING ON
DECREASE

z. w. Howe, the famous Kansas
editor, is. writing some mighty inter
esting travel notes for his monthly
farmers magazine. One of his
steamer talks on booze and business
runs as follows:
"A young Englishman who sits at
our table tells terrible story of
business. He says that in Johannes
burg, South Africa, where he lives,
he is often compelled to take thirty
drinks day, or lose trade. l would
like to tell him what | think of the
statement, but do not care to start a
row on board Any man who says he
is forced to drink intoxicants, or lose
trade, tells silly falsehood. A drink
ing man usually admires man who
doesn't drink. The men who have
been most successful in business
have not been noted as boozers. But
while | didn't tell the young man
what | thought of his statement, an
elderly Englishman did. The Ameri-
cans, the elderly Englishman said,
are the smartest business men in the
world, and they do not drink as much
as we do. And the drinking habit
in America is becoming more un-
popular every day, and will finally
become disreputable.' i have noticed
that while most Englishmen pick at
Americans, they really have high
opinion of them"

MISSING FIRE ON PROMOTION
A COMEDY DE LUXE ACT

Six hundred and twenty-five passengers on
the new liner Niagara were in the city yester
day Officially, their presence apparently
was not known to the promotion committee
unofficially, practically nothing was done for
them 1t seems to the Star-Bulletn that the
promotion committee yesterday Enthusiastically
and unfortunately missed fire.
This paper is informed by the committee
that literature of Hawaii was sent to the
agents in Australia to be distributed on board
by the purser while the Niagara was on her way
up from the Antipodes. Yet several passen-
gers told the Star Bulletin that they had no in
formation about Hawaii and were anxious to
secure some of the literature. The committee
also says that representative was sent to the
steamer off port, but SO far as the Star-Bulletin
has been able to ascertain, there was no vel
come hand whatever extended from the promo
ton committee to the Niagara
The Hawaiian Electric company's whistle
sounded the only signal of greeting. The only
attraction arranged for entertainment yester-
day was brief swimming exhibition at Wal
kiki courteously given by the boys of the Hui
Nalu and other aquatic experts and arranged
by w T. Rawlins.
The welcome to the CD passengers of the
Niagara was given by hotel runners, chauf-

There was great rejoicing over the
recent victory of the Democratic part
but that rejoicing is taking on an
other color. now that the first act by
{. Democratic congress seems in fair
way to partially impoverish number
of states in the Union and also one OF
its richest territories. and hano over

perity to the pauper sugar-raising
countries of the old world.
At the mere mention of sugar being
placed on the free list there was a
noticeable effect right here in Hawaii
Sugar stock holders commenced to
howl; prices on land went down, and
it may safely be estimated that loss
of many thousand dollars has already
been sustained The banks have not
ceased to give credit yet, but it is pos
sible to conjure up Just that state OF
affairs with the tariff off sugar.
Underwood is continually harpine
on the reductions that are going to be-
made in the tariff. This reduction is
supposed to reduce the cost of living
or to reduce something. There is not
the least doubt in the world that those
who foot these sort of bills or reduc
lions CD in the cost of living will be
the same who have always done it
the laborer. 1t always works out that
way. Any move in the tariff, either
up or down, has telling effect on the
laboring man; he either foots the bill
of deficit caused by somebody's blum
der, or there are few cents saved
that cut no ice in the general summing
up at the end of the year.
An earthquake such as visited San
Francisco a few years ago. or a flood

STATISTICS SENT
TO GOV. JOHNSON

Learning that Governor Johnson
was calling for statistics from diff
ferent states or territories on the
japanese ownership of land question,
extracts from the report of the terri
torial treasurer's report have .been
sent him, showing the number of Japa-
nese taxpayers and the appraised
value of the property owned by them
during the last two years.
In 1911, according to the report,
there were 267 Japanese taxpayers in
the territory, and the assessed value
of their real property was $219.994. In
the following year there were 657
Japanese taxpayers, and the assessed
value of their real property was

misstated. If he is correctly quoted, he ought
not to be at liberty. Hawaii does not face free

and selfish. Carter is merely trying tc

There's nothing uncertain about

retorted. "Shes right enough. The

Jennings has disappointed me. You

glanced at Miss Patty.
Mr.. Pierce also glanced at Miss
Patty. He'd been glancing at her at
intervals of two seconds ever since she
came in, and being a woman and hav.
ing point to gain, Miss Patty seemed
to have forgotten the night before, and
was very nice to him. After every
thing had been explained, including
Mr.. Jennings liver and disposition,
she turned to him and said:
I'VE are in your hands, you see, Mr..
Pierce. Are you going to help us?"
And when she asked him that, it was
plain to me that he was only sorry he
couldn't die helping.
III everybody agrees to it," he said,
looking at her, "and you all think IT'S

"Of course" said Mr.. Dick, II ex-

Mr.. Dick stopped walking and
turned suddenly to stare at Mr.. Pierce.

Everybody else was talking, and
