there are none finer in the whole
Territory, is now complete and the
management is awaiting the arrival
of the furniture and office fixtures.
In addition to It's being one of
finest buildings in the Territory
it has a vault large enough to hold
all the money on Kauai, and that S
going some.

TEACHERS ARE
NOT So GOOD

The Advertiser in a recent issue,
editorially commented upon the
superiority of the Honolulu Nor
NAL graduates over teachers who
are brought here from other places,
basing its conclusions on the mar
kings of the various supervising
principals of their respective dis
tricts. l f the superior element of
our present teaching staff consists
of the home production, then there
, must be something radically wrong
with the members of the board of
education, for how many Honolu-
lu Normal graduates are holding
principalships? Since it necessarily
follows that the principal must be
a aleader, then why are not these
graduates given what is due them
as superior teachers?
Kauai has sixteen public schools
one of w h c h-a two-room
school-has normal graduate as
its principal. The rest are equipped
wit h inferior" material from
abroad. We are not slanming the
normal school, nor Its graduates,
but when such ridiculous conclu.
sions are drawn merely fr m
markings by supervisors" it is
time to put forever at rest the idea
that mainland teachers are inferior
The graduates do good work, but
the majority of them have a foreign
foundation upon which English is
based, and which never can be
completely obliterated. One needs
to converse with these graduates
but few minutes to form new
idea of where accents, for instance,
on even the comruonest words are
given. They teach. in most cases,
what they have been taught, in a
highly satisfactory manner, bu t
when it comes to originality, it is
an unknown quantity with them,
J with but few exceptions. There is
10 need of saying this to hurt the
feelings of these graduates, nor is
this said with any intention to be
personal, The facts in the case are
so apparent as to warrant no other
statement if we regard truth in its
proper light. There h S always
been some doubt in the minds of
many as to the qualifications of
some of our supervising principals,
and that the Commissioners con-
tinue to regard t h e imported
teacher as possessing better quail
fcations--else they would not
make them principals-it would
seem that the Commissioners, to a
certain extent, share h same
opinion relative to the supervising
principals.
The poor old Advertiser cannot

LIHUE TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY. MARCH a, lsl3
LAND LAW QUESTION

With sugar plantations paying
dividends from 10 to 30%, it does
not require Lihue lawyer to un-
derstand the benefits that are to
acrue to the homesteader when he
finally gets what is coming to him. i.
This may be sometime in the dis
tant future. but start was made
in h right direction when a
n Ii m Der of prominent citizens
gathered It the Fairview Hotel
last Sunday for the purpose of
forming an association wit h a
view of filing an application for
homesteads containing 80 acres
each in the Kapaa tract which Is
claimed to embrace some of the
finest pineapple land in the Terri
tory.
A prominent sugar man in con-
versation with II s the other day
said that before many years, we
will say, at the expiration of the
present leases of Government land
the present plantations will become
milling properties only, the cane
being grown by small farmers. The
publication of the annual reports
which show for instance Kekaha
to have increased her capitalization
seven hundred thousand dollars
and yet having declared dividend
of four hundred thousand dollars,
cannot but impress every man of
even ordinary intelligence with
the enormous profit in the pro-
duction of sugar.
The homesteading of cane land
since it is bound to come, should
not be source of worry to the
plantations in so far as labor is
concerned, for it will be up TO the
homesteaders w h o acquire the
land, whether it will be S acres or
100 acres, to cultivate the crop.
The plantation therefore, would
not need to worry over the supply
of labor, any further than that
which is necessary. to keep the
mill going. Of course the present
dividends would be slightly shaven
but this could be done and yet
allow the milling company a safe
margin. 7 h present estimate,
that is, the very lowest estimate
of expense in producing a ton of
sugar is S35, the lowest sales esti-
mate is placed at $71 per ton. The
lowest average yield is estimated
at 5 tons per acre. Therefore,
when sugar sells at 81 per ton a
good profit is realized and bonus
to the employees is allowed. Be
low this price good profit is also
made bat no bonus is given. One
acre of cane at these estimates will
produce S tons of sugar with a
total value at the prevailing prices,
of. say $500. The cost of produc-
ing and marketing the sugar at
S35 ton totals S175, leaving a
balance profit of $225.OO per acre.
This should be an inducement to
the homesteader to think twice be-
fore devoting all of his energies
and thoughts TO a line of agricul-
tural pursuits which is practically
in an infantile stage.

The Crusade Against The Drink
Evil.

Just at this time, the following
letter comes to us from good wo-
man in Mississippi, together with a
batch of gayly-colored and seduc-
tive literature from mail order
whiskey house. She wrote:
In my Indignation, / appeal to
you to help us poor mothers out.
sEhe enclosures will! speak for them
selves. Now this came through the
mail to my little son not vel in his
teens. How can I, with three sons
whom l am trying to rear into use
full, sober, good men, combat such
villains, when our government al
lows such temptations to be brought
to our very fresides? They do not
have to leave their mothers and
sisters presence to be tempted. Not
one of my boys drink, but how long
can say that of my young sons, If
this is permitted. Help me!''
The problem of controlling whis-
key advertising is one with which
congress must deal, and might we'll
be considered in connection with
the proposed Sheppard-Kenyon bill:
That bill, as we understand it, will
not prevent man from ordering
whiskey for his own personal use,
but will aii temperance forces in
breaking up the blind tiger busi-
ness. What we can't understand, is
that many parents are not only
willing to let the circular letters
from whiskey houses come to their
boys, but will themselves pay pub
fishers of money-seeking newspa-
pcrs to bring such advertising into
their homes. In other words they
not only let newspapers that are
travelling barrooms come to their
homes and solicit patronage, but
pay them to do it. Such papers as
the Atlanta Constitution and Allan
ia Journal ought to be too decent
to take such advertising, but if they
are not, their readers should make
them so by refusing patronage un-
til they reform. Progressive Far
mer.

A Mean Attack.

If Governor Blease wanted to
attack Senator Tillman he could
not have selected a meaner, MOI 0
contemplate or baser manner than
that IF accusing the senior senator
Of feebleness of mind. 1t is like a
person making light of another's
physical deformities.
Of course, no one suffers by
the attack of 3lease. The people
of the the United States know full
well that while Senator Tillman is
in feeble health, his mind has nev-
er been impairedSand that he is still
a giant in intellect.
While Blease may have some ex-
cuse, if he had, although he has no
grounds, for making the other
charges, the fact still stands out
above all others that he jumped on
Tillman's physical weakness, sent
by a divine power, and attempted
to make political ammunition out
of another's misfortune. In intel
lect. Senator Tillman is equal to an
army of Bleases and the pity of it
all that the governor cannot real
ize this. -Spartanburg Journal.

Should Not Receive Official
Recognition.

The insulting and disgusting ref
erence which Governor Blease made
to Senator 1ilman in his message
should not be given place in the rec
ords of the Senate or House, nor
should Senator Tillman's reJoinder.
However, if on, is printed in the
journal the other should be also.
This is purely personal and politi-
cal quarrel which was begun with
out warrant by Gov. Blease and no
official recognition should be given
to it by the general assembly. Let
them thrash it in the press, or. bet
ter still, let it be stopped altogether.
Senator Tillman can afford Ito ig-
more Gov. Blease entirely.

VIII Reduce Fertilizer Bill.

The impression prevails that
farmers in this county will
not use as large quantity of
commercial fertilizers as they did
last year. This is said to be due to
several causes. The large acreage in
oats, the slight advance in the price
of fertilizers, and the determination
of farmers TO reduce expenses, have
each had some weight in causing
to decide to curtail the quan-
tity used.
The Advertiser has always advo-
Gated a generous application of
guano but let it be used intelligent
ly and with judgment. Unless the
preparation is thorough and suttl-
cient means are in sight for work
ing the crop rapidly, a heavy appli-
cation should not be made.

Knights Enjoy Annual Feast.

The knights of Pythias held their
annual banquet in the college dining
room Thursday night. There were
about 80 Knights present and each
one accompanied by lady. Before
the dining room doors were opened
a social half hour was enjoyed in
the parlors, where sweet music was
rendered by the college orchestra of
ten pieces. This was the first op-
portunity that the people of the town
have had of hearing the orchestra
and they were charmed with their
skill and with the extent of their
repertoire.
About nine O'Clock the commit
tee in charge invited the Knights
and their friends into the dining
room, where three long rows of ia
bles had been arranged. Three gen.
tlemen and three ladies were seated
at each table. The committee was

which was SO we'll served. AS mas
ter of ceremonies, DR.. J. S. Byrd,
the ranking officer of the lodge, an
nounced that the gentleman who
had been invited to deliver an ad
dress was unable to attend and
that IN lieu of the one set address
he had at the eleventh hour request
ed several knights to make short
talks, calling upon the following
gentlemen III the order named, A.
S. Tompkins, F. N. X. Bailey, j..
L. Minis, P. P. Blalock, A. E. Pad
gett and P. B. Mayson.
The occasion was so thoroughly
enjoyed that some of the Knights
have suggested that these feasts be
held quarterly instead of annually.

Don't Neglect The Garden.

Good soil, good seed, good tools.
and good care-these are what it
takes to make good garden. All of
them the farmer can get or give,
too. Indeed, the farmer who neg
lects his garden is lacking some of
the qualities every farmer needs.
Any man should be ashamed to live
on a farm and then have to buy his
potatoes, vegetables and canned
goods. Of course, even the best far
mers may need to buy few now
and then; but this should be the ex-
ception and not the rule. 1t is the
farmers business to have these
things to sell. Progressive Farmer.

Foreclosures Continued

Although we are well into the
new year, foreclosures of chattel
mortgages continue. Probably more
small farmers, chiefly colored peo-
ple, have been closed OUT" lock
stock and barrel, during the past
sixty days than ever before in Edge
field county. This will weed out an
irresponsible and thoroughly de-
pendent class of tillers of the soil,
who should not undertake to con-
duct a farm on their own resources.
