In reply to Ex-Governor George r.

ed the following COMMUNICATION:
Honolulu, T. H, Oct. 3. 1913. {
Editor Honolulu Star-BulIetin.
Sir: In your issue Of October End,
there appeared 9. lengthy letter writ
ten by Hon. G. R. Carter. &.
Mr.. Carter seems to belittle the
great Republican victory In the elec-
tion to Congress OF the Republican
candidate. John Al. Peters, In the
third Maine Congressional district ]
must concede that on the surface the
victory does not seem to be great, as
a Republican was actually elected to
Congress to succeed Republican by
the small plurality Of 553 in 36,146
votes. This statement Of Mr.. Carter's
Is very true, and am Inclined to be-
lieye that instead of the public be
ing misled by cable news being b
feature Of modern experience Mr.. Car
ter now wishes to misiead the public
by not giving all the facts.
The Facts.
The facts are that In spite of the
efforts Of two cabinet members and
the speaker Of the house of represen-
tatives the vote received by the Dem
ocratic candidate showed little varis-
tion from the vote cast for Presi-
dent Wilson last year.
In spite Of the aid of speakers Of ma
tional reputation for the Progressive
nominee, the Progressive vote show
ed falling on Of about fifty per cent
from what Colonel Roosevelt received
in November.
The vote cast for Mr.. Peters, the
Republican nominee, In a district
where last fall only 1000 Republican
votes were cast showed gain of 108
per scent. In fact, the Progressive
candidate received a smaller vote
than President Taft received Eoyenl-
Der last, and the Wilson plurality Of
last fall was eliminated.
This seems to prove that the Re

This may not often happen to an

Gradually, in spite of dieting, his
weight climbed until he weighed ESQ.
He was then still able to attend to

of which we are occasionally guilty
when we have our insular prejudices

The builders of the Suez canal had
their difficulties, though they were by
no means such serious difficulties as
have had to be overcome In the build.
ing OF the Panama canal. In the first
place. the engineering difficulties were
nothing like SO great. The greatest
elevation which tke Suez canal had
to cut through vas a ridge Of hills six
miles in length, which varied in
height from 80 to 60 feet above sea
level in Panama, the Culebra cut has
had to go down through 500 feet OF
rocks and sliding soil for long
stretches. The problem of sanitation
was not nearly SO severe in Suez as
that which has been solved in Pan
anna. But for all that the French
had their troubles.
In the first place, the canal cost
more than it "a originally estimated
it would. The optimistic De Lesseps
believed at first that he could build
the canal for $40, O0O, 900. Eventually
it cost more than $780, O0, 900. The
Egyptian government advanced a
large sum as a loan, and later sub
scribed for it's stock subscriptions, and
the stock was later sold in London,
Where the British government finally
convinced hat the canal was a sue.
cess, was glad to gobble it up.
The pasta of Egypt had agreed.
moreover, to supply $4,000 to 20, 0
laborers to dig De Lesseps' canal for
very low wages The French COM
pany guaranteed these Egyptian work
men good food and sanitary care, and
when they failed to provide it the pasta
called off his men. and it was neces-
sary to import laborers from Eu-
rope. The French company COM
planned Of breach Of contract, persuad-
ed the Egyptians to accept Napoleon
III. as a good arbitrator, and Wrung
about $4,000, 900 more out of ex-
hausted Egypt. Directly and Indirect
", the canal cost the land Of pyramids
about $S5, 600, 900, and in order to get
free of its financial difficulties, Egypt
turned over most of it's interest in
the canal to England.

OF Her Interest

New York.-When the Panama canal
10 opened with q flourish and q blare
Of trumpets in 1915 the second Of the
great dreams of Ferdinand de Lesseps,
French engineer, will have become a
fact, the New York Sun remarks. The
first of the De Lesseps dreams has
been an accomplished fact for almost
nifty years-the Suez canal; upon the
second dream he broke his reputation
and his heart. After he had ucces
fully dug the Suez canal De Lesseps
tried to dig a canal in Panama and
failed most di~sastrously.
But about the Suez canal. It has
been remarked that when the canal
was finished France reaped the glory.
England the main advantages and
Egypt most OF the bills. The idea OF
q canal across the isthmus was far
from new when De Lesseps In 1854 OBJ
tanned permission from the pasta Of
Egypt to form a company for the con
struction of the waterway. As early
as 1850 B. C. there was a canal from
n OF the branches of the Nile to the
Red sea. Seven hundred years later,
when the sands Of the desert had
choked this first canal, Pharoah Necho
set to work to build q new canal be-
tween Bubastis on the Nile and the
Red sea. Necho failed to finish his
canal, which vas completed about 486
B. G. by another Egyptian ruler. DART
US Hydaspis.
BY the beginning OF the Christian
era this canal, too, had become unnav-
igable; 1t was dredged and restored to
usefulness in the course OF Trajan's
reign. The last restoration of the wa
terway was made in the seventh zen
fury by Amru. the Mohammedan con-
queror of Egypt, who established wa
ter communication between Cairo and
the Red sea. And then the desert
sands drifted once more into the his
toric ditch and it was permitted to dis
appear.
As soon as De Lesseps had obtained
permission to build a canal a commits
sion Of civil engineers of different ma
tionalities explored the proposed
route. Most of these engineers be-
lieved that the project was feasible,
and they urged a sea level canal from
Port Said to Suez, abandoning the sys-
tenn of indirect routes through the
delta of the Nile which the early
builders OF canals in the region had
used. The English member OF the
commission, however, was opposed to
the building Of any sort of canal, and
said the only feasible way OF spanning
the isthmus IA by railroad, an opin-
ion which is not hard to understand
when we know that this same English
engineer was Robert Stevenson. son
OF the inventor of the locomotive.
England followed Stephenson's lead
enthusiastically and almost up to the
day when the Suez canal was opened to
h trfic of the world, it was the fash
ion in England to jeer at the canal.
Newspapers. magazines and statesmen
were agreed that If the Pharoahs and
imperial Rome had been unable to
keep a canal Gro the isthmus open,
it wasn't very likely that a trifing
people like the French would be able
to accomplish anything.
