hey are not holding the farmer
down they are doing nothing to
help him up.
1t Is true that efforts have
been made 10 organize the far
mers tut there has not been
success.
II the minds of the great cap
tains of industry had been di-
rected to the uplift of aericul.
ture, there would have been
success. Carnegie. Schwab
and trick would have organic
ed an d executed the plans.
Morgan would have worked
out the financial system.
The greatest single element
OF strength is union. If each
state of our Union was sepcr.
ate and Independent, the United
states would not be the great
world power that it is to-day.
The steel corporation is the
richest and most powerful in
the world 1t was made posi-
BILE only by the union of small
Ter steel companies. If union
Is a good thing for the corpora
lions and the government. why
should it not be for the farmer?
The farmers are like a sleep
ing giant who is not yet awak-
.ened aud knows not it's power.
If the millions of farmers in
the United States should organ
ize, the union would be OF such
strength that the steel corpora
ton, the labor unions and the
government itself would look
like a child's toys by the side
of 1t.
In the United States, there
are lO,000,OOO farms and sup.
pose that on each farm thous
and dollars is spent for sup
plies and machinery, which
makes a total Of ten billion
dollars spent in the United
States annually by the farmers.
If the farmers were organized.
and had one purchasing agent
t o spend this amount. that
agent would be the most pow.
erful man in the United States
and could get some extraordi-
narily cheap rates by buying
in such Il huge Wholesale way.
This purchasing agent would
spend as much money as our
billion dollar congress would
spend in ten years, as much as
the congresses of ten countries
as large as the United States.
These figures almost stagger
belief, but figures neen not, ne
cessarily, lie.
After a union / $ once formed
the greatest element of strength
of the union will be this purch-
asinR power.
10 get new viewpoint of
familiar things from a new an
gle it is sometimes necessary to
imagine some very radical CON
ditions Suppose, for instance,
that the State of Virginia had
been devasted by war. so that
there were no men left to farm,
that all houses and buildings
were destroyed and that it was
necessary for the government
to start up the farms to supply
food for the soldiers. No war
in any age has ever been this
severe, but imagine so, for the
purpose of illustration.
+ h G first steps would be
something like these: There
would be appointed county

of an agricultural college.
These county men would be
under a head man in each con

county men would meet quar-
terly each year under the head
man Of each congressional dis

TENNESSEE and THE TARIFF

Representative Richard w. Austin Of Ten
nessee pays his respects TO the Wilson n,ler
wood tariff bill in no uncertain terms. Here
is what he says Of it:
''Under this bill we are going to take from
the American workshops and the American
wage earners business amounting in the first
year to S135,G59,4GG Sixty per cent of that
amount in wages, at $50 a day. would sns-
tain 100000 wage earners in the American
mills for II months. / ask those i'm charge of
this measure, and responsible for its proposed
legislation, what are you going to do for these
wage earners that you rob Of $136,000000 in
the output of their mills? What employment
are you going to substitute for the employment
that YOU take from them? And Why should
the American lawmaker legislate here to in
crease the output of foreign mills against
American mills, where the capital is American
money and where the men who own them are
American citizens, giving employment to
American wage earners at the highest known
standard of wages? Yes; President Wilson's
platform promised that no legitimate industry
in this country should be injured. ask the
dustry in that State is a legitimate industry;
/ ask the representative on that side of the
chamber who represent Western States that
are interested i'm the wool industry if the wool
en- industry is legitimate industry? ask the
men who represent the Democratic party on
the other side of the chamber from the South
ern States if the cotton mills, 80 in number in
the South, are legitimate industry under the
Interpretation of your platform? | ask you if
the coal companies now shipping coal to New
England from Maryland, Kentucky, and West
Virginia, are engaged in a legitimate industry
in the eyes of the Democratic party; and why
should this business be turned over to the coal
companies of Newfoundland?
sThis side of the house believes in giving
American orders to American mills and the
work to American artisans, laborers, miners
and mechanics, as against foreigners"

THE FUTURE OF The REPUBLICAN PARTY

Though the Bull Moosers from the Colonel
down to the last Of the immortal boilers are
confident the Republican party is dead beyond
resurrection, signs are not wanting that when
1916 rolls around the c. O. =. forces will rally
rs of yore.
1t is true that the attempts of BOrah, Cum
Minis. LaFollette and other leaders of the
party have not so far awakened much interest
in the country at large, but this is not because
Republicansm is dead Far from it. 1t is
because the country is suffering from surfeit
of party politics and has to get over political
indigestion before taekling the next meal
The echoes of the Chicago conventions have
not yet died away. Thwarted personal ambi-
tions still throb painfully The steam-roller is
not forgotten, nor is the personal fight made
by Roosevelt forgiven by such men as Penrose
and Boss Barnes of New York.
For months on end last fall the public was
fed on bitter party and partisan politics And
the country is weary of party politics now.
What the voters want is results from the
chosen administration.
There are still. and there will be Indefinitely,
fundamental differences of opinion relating to
governmental policies in this republic. These
differences make the party divisions. The Re-
mental policy On such matters as the tariff,
monopoly control and currency reform it diff
fers vitality from the Democratic party and it
will continue to differ. But the differences be-
tween the Republican party and the Bull
Moose party are differences that can be adj
iusted without conflict in these fundamental
policies OF course there will always be ire
pressible and irreconcilable clements. The Re
fl,n,,, SIIcla
men aus Penrose and Barnes have no more bust
ness in the Republican party of the future than
Billy Finn has i'll the Progressive party. The
Republican party must be purged of its reac-
tonaries, its mercenaries, and once purged of
them, once freed from the clogging mud that
has impedesl its movement forward into the
light of a new day, as Wilson has aptly
phrased IT. there will exist no irreconcilable
differences between the Republicans and the
Progressives.
While these harmonizing movements are go

, ing on, the Democratic party is trying its hand
ut government. lis pledge To revise the tariff
so that no legitimate industry will be harmed
is not being carried out. for Hawaii knows that
its free sugar program will do great harm To
the sugar industry. Many other items on the
schedule are bound To be bitterly opposed.
1t is yet too early 10 see what effect the adj
mnisration's program will have on the politi-
cal situation, hut indications are that the tariff
revision program will ALLEVIATE many of those
who have hoped To he able to support Democ-
racys move for needed reform. And as the
months 90 by, the opposition to Democratic
policies is bound TO grow. The Republican
party, which is admitted to have a normal ma
jority of the voters of this country, will gain
strength as its warning internal elements come
to peace.
Furthermore, the country will be beginning
to get over its political indigestion and with
that buoyant American spirit, plunge again
blthely into political fight.
Already on their program leaders of the Re
publican party have three subjects for reform.
They propose, first, congressional reapporton
ment on an entirely new basis, to reduce the
present unwieldy lower house; secondly, ma
tional primaries three years hence to select
presidential candidates and national and state
committeeman, and thirdly, the drafting of a
new party platform to supplant the last plat
form, the new document to indorse the initia-
tive and referendum and direct primaries
1t is proposed aIso according to this morn
ing's dispatches, to hold national convention
next year. This convention will probably
adopt the new platform.
The Republican party is far from dead. 1t is
undergoing regeneration and will rise to the
responsibilities of the future as it has risen in
the past. The party has met other crises just
as severe and has withstood attacks just as
bitter. 1t has endured while sporadic move
ments strikingly akin to the Bull Moose move
nlent had their day and were forgotten. It'll
profited by the good that was in them, as it'll

HAWAIIAN
SCHOOLS

Japanese pupils now form the most
numerous element in the Hawaiian
schools, and they are increasing at a
more rapid rate than any other race,
according to a statement by Governor
Walter F. Frear, received at the Unit
ed States Bureau of Education. The
Japanese now have a considerable
lead in the school population. with
over 81 per cent of the total; the
Portuguese follow with little less
than II per cent; the Hawaiians come
next with IA per cent; part-Hawaiians
comprise IA per cent; Chinese, IL per
cent; and all other nations or races,
12 per cent.
Governor Frear gives other inter
esting information about Hawaii's
schools. He shows how, after the es-
adjustment of the territorial govern
ment in 1900, the public schools Jared
worse and worse until 1907, when,
with increasing prosperity for the
islands, more ample provision was
made for education. Finally, in 1911,
new method of financing the schools
was adopted. under which there has
been a decided gain in the number of
teachers, in salaries, and in general
efficiency.
Industrial schools that are partially
self-supporting are a feature OF tie
Hawaiian school system. There are
three such schools, and in addition,
the Normal School, the College OF Ag
riculture and Mechanic Arts, two high
schools, and Isl schools of elementary
grade. A number of the schools main
tain city or county governments con-
Quoted by the pupils for practice in
citizenship, and patriotic exercises are
emphasized in all the schools.
There are now nearly 10000 chill
dren in the Hawaiian schools. about
twice as many as there we're at the
time the territorial government was
established twelve years ago. The
territory last year spent s5S2,536 for
education, and the counties them
selves $47,799 additional These fig
ures are exclusive of expenditures for
the College of Hawaii, which now oc-
cupies a permanent site in the SUBURBS
Of Honolulu and has graduated its first
class.
The Hawaiian schools. are up to the
American practice in length of term;
their school year is SO weeks. Attend
anee is compulsory from to IL years
of age, the maximum age having been
raised from Is year ago. Good at
tendance records are the rule; the
average last year was Sc per cent OF
the enrolment In this and other re-
spects the schools Of Hawaii compare
favorably with the best in the United
States.

CASTLE EXPLAINS HIS POSITION
ON THE BILLBOARD QUESTION

business OF printing and sending out
circulars certainly offer every legiti-
mate opportunity that any reasonable
business man could want for advertis-
ing his goods.
Any attempt to create sympathy
with the Pioneer Advertising Com
pany in the billboard matter seems
to me 70 be out OF place and unneces-
sary. There is an ample field for
placing lot Of good business energy
in the advert sing business with no
recourse TO biltBoards, and in all prob
ability as soon as the billboards are
eliminated the other lines in the adj.
yertising business will increase, and
ii seems 10 me that when the expense
of maintaining the billboards is gone.
the cost of keeping up and maintain
ing other advertising will be consid
erably less.
In the hope that we may all unite in
this most Iaudable attempt to rid
Honolulu and the Islands generally of
what is now a blot on our landscape,
and hoping that the advertising COM
pany here will more than make up
whatever loss there may be through
eliminating billboards, from their less
offensive methods, and trusting that
YOU will read these views to the gen.
Element who meet for lunch, remain
very sincerely yours,
