waii who have invested largely in enterprises
south of the American border 1t is estimated
that investments of Hawaiian capital in Mexico
reach at least million dollars and possibly
more. A good deal of this is in rubber planta
tons; a large amount in mines and cattle and
sheep-ranches have also attracted much Hawaii
an money.
There is general interest here also because OF
the military situation. In case of Intervention
troops now here would likely be called upon to
go to the front
There is also third phase that is of unver
sal interest. Should Uncle Sam find it neces
sary to send troops across the border, it would
not be a mere jaunt and return Mexico would
retaliate in no unmistakable manner. Few mil
itary experts are willing to say that the trouble
could be settled in less than two years, and the
estimates of the money cost to Uncle Sam range
from 10O,000,000 to five times that amount
With the necessity for immense emergency
appropriations, Congress cannot afford to cut
off any present sources of revenue 1t seems GER
tain that the first definite step toward interyen
ton will kill the free-sugar provision in the tar
iff bill. Uncle Sam is not likely to cut off sixty
millions of revenue at a time when emergency
appropriations of at least that amount are called
for.

afternoon, could not have come either

ISOLATION may take some action at its
r,eeting at half-past three o'clock this
afternoon was the information given
cut by O. G. Swain, president of that
organization, this morning. He had
beard several rumors of dissatisfac-
ton with regard to the delay, he said,
and had also heard that the mer-
chants association was figuring on
taking the matter up at the meeting.
Fred l.. Waldron, chairman of the
promotion committee, said this morn
ing that, in his opinion, it would be a
good thing If the merchants associa-
ton and the chamber of commerce,
which organizations have at heart the
interests of the local business men
and merchants. would jointly take the
matter of the delay before the postal
authorities.
Mail is considered ahead of ex-
pense in almost every country" said
Mr.. Waldron, "and such delay in the
mails from San Francisco as was ex-
perienced yesterday, while it might
mean saving of few hundreds OF
dollars for the government, might
mean the loss Of thousands of dollars
for the local merchants and business
men. The government probably made
the contract with the T. K. X. boat
because that steamer would carry the
mail somewhat cheaper than would
the Sierra, not figuring on the fact
that the mail would be delayed in
reaching Honolulu. 1t seems a poor
policy when a government will save a
few dollars for itself and by so doing
damage its citizens by the loss of a
much larger amount. In Europe mail
contracts with steamers, are made in
sometimes less than half an hour. and
the boat that will arrive at a certain
destination few hours ahead of any
other boat will get the contract for
carrying the mails to that point.
further believe that the local CONNER
cial organizations should take the
matter up with Washington, either
through the railway mail service de-
partment of the local postoffice, or
through the delegate at Washington"

BUSINESS AND THE NAIL SERVICE

Hawaii is quite justified in protesting to
Washington through the postoffice authorities
hereand by any other proper means, against the
handling of the mails that resulted in yester-
days delay. - ~
The isolated position of the Territory makes it
dependent to a very great degreesupon the Unit

liable and a vast improvement over no telegraph.
il connections whatever, is still so expensive as
TO be prohibitiye for the interchange of business
letters except in important cases of haste and
necessity. Businessmen and business interests
all over the territory depend upon the mails and
ten-hour delay in getting in the Coast mails is
good deal more serious thing than may appear
to Washington Particularly was it serious yes
terday, for return mail for the Coast left this
morning, the postoffice closing hour being $50
o'clock.
We do not know whose was the fault that re-
suited in this delay; whether it was due to a
false idea of economy or to miscalculation as to
the arrival of the steamers, but certainly the Ko-
rea and the Sierra each beat the Hongkong Ma
ru into port by many hours and Hawaii should
have had its mail ten hours before it did The
commercial bodies may well have the matter in
vestigated.

Is this word graft to be flung carelessly about
in this community without regard to its signif-
icance?
Can public or semipublic officials be charged
with graft and the charges 60 by default?
Are the people of Hawaii willing to allow
graft to be openly imputed to well-known Of
fetal without an inquiry that will go to the bot
tom Of the facts?
These questions are asked because of develop
ments in the charges of graft made against Sen
ate Clerk John a. Wise by Senator. James l..
Coke
There seems a disposition to let the matter
drop to indulge in explanations all around and
call il quits Senator Coke has charged 'sdirect
and positive graft in the compilation of the SEN
ate Journal and made Wise. the subject Of set
Of accusations deliberately drawn up and
backed since then by repetitions of his charges.
He does not charge private graft but public

The inexplcable part of it is that many
people seem to believe-or wish to believe
that this is personal fight between Coke and
Wise; that it is somewhat political fight;
that it does not concern the public. AT least,
such is the effect of their passive attitude
That is where they are mistaken, gravely
mistaken. These charges vitality concern the
public; whether or notstiere is politics back of
it, or personal hostility hack of it, is small
question beside the fact that public official is
accused Of swind1ing, of1stealing for that is
what this charge of graft amounts to-
Senator Coke made a. detailed statement;
Clerk Wise made speedy but detailed answer.
Wise also says that he is going after Coke and
it is possible that the truth as to the charges
viii come out in a suit orsdefamation of char
acter Possible but only possible. If we read
the signs Alright the whole fabric Of controversy
IS likely to be dropped by tacit consent.
It's a pretty serious thing for one public Off
cial to charge another public official with graft
ing from the public treasury. Certainly no citi-
zen Of honest purpose and M regard for public
policy can consent to see these accusations and
replies finally dropped by mutual consent.
Cannot the senate hold-over committee or the
grand jury turn it's attention to this situation?
Attention by somebody is clearly needed
