not advocate duties on raw sugar to
protect unreasonable profits. We do
not stand for the coddfing of a stated

of the few. Such cases may exist on
the mainland, but that is no excuse
for recklessly applying the pruning
knife to the duties on commodity
which is the very life, the very pulse
of this territory, with the inevitable
result that all, from the capitalist to
the poorest, will be the sufferers, even
to the third generation.

Outlining for the FIRST time the case
for the defense Of William F. Hag@-
mann, the Schofield Ra-'a,as 50!
der row on trja! in the t. S.
district court for the ale Cd
shooting Ct Henry Gerkia, Attor-
ney Lorlip Andrews this morn
ing in court stated that he would
claim for his client iustifable hom-
eide. Andrews explained that he
would prove that Gerkin was by ma
tire bully; that, under ordinary
conditions he was overbearing, fore
ing the men in his company to lend
him money to gamble with against
their wills; and that, when intoXicat-
ed, he was so Overbcaring as to jps-
tity Hagenann in committing the
crime alleged. The plan OF defense
came as something Of a surprise. it
having been thought, up to this time,
that the claim would be self defense.
, Preceding Andrews statement, the
government closed its case with the
examination Of several witnesses
who, in substance, coriObOrated the
statements made yesterday by Pri-
Yates Floyd, Evans and others. These
testified to the facts Immediately pre-

DEVELOP PARKS, B0ULtVARDs and BEACHES nov

The public discussion over the acceptance of
"Ainahau" by the legislature brings for
ward the wisdom of policy of securing and
developing park areas for the future of Honolu-
III. And not only parks are needed-a large pub
lie bathing beach should be acquired by the city

Mainland cities are spending millions in the
condemnation of valuable property for parks
and boulevards and are looking back regretfully
to time when the property could have been
much more cheaply acquired
The Right Hon, James Bryce, ambassador to
the United States, once made an address to the
American Civic Association in which he said:
"The love of nature is the very simplest and
best of those pleasures the power of enjoying
which has been implanted in u.s. 1t is the most
easily accessible of pleasures one which can new
en- be perverted, and one of which las the old
darky said about the Watermelon you cannot
have too much. 1t is a pleasure which lasts from
youth to age; we cannot enjoy it in the form of
strenuous exercise with the same fuIlness in age,
because our physical powers are not the same,
but we have perhaps a more perfect enjoyment
In some other ways, because We have the asso-
Citations and memories of those who have i'm by
gone days visited beautiful scenes with u.s. and
also the associations with whicha poetry clothes

in the interest of pure enjoyment we ought more
to desire and study to diffuse than the beauties
of nature. Fortunately, the love of nature is in

ization that people should enjUy this simple
pleasure instead of those more violent and excit-
ing pleasures which may become the source in

is happily increasing among us, and it therefore
becomes all the more important to find means
for safeguarding nature The population is in
creasing too, and the number of people who de

both absolutely and in proportion. But, unfor

THE sPERRY LECTURES

The Sperry lectures at the Y. NJ c. A. this
week should be largely attended, particularly as
Honolulu during the past year has begun to
realize the necessity for education along sex
lines Or. Sperry is an eminent authority on
sex education and kindred questions, and his lee
lures treat the subject in a wholesome straight
forward way in which there is neither prudish-
ness nor cffenseto themost delicate. His talks
are extremely valuable to young men. He speaks
each night in Cooke Hail.

w. r. KiDslea was the only member of the
house to vote the other day against the concur
rent resolution protesting to congress against
the abolition or material reduction of the
tariff. This paper happens to have com
mended Mr.. Kinslea for independence enough
to break away from his delegation in a
vote on another matter, but his later action
is quite inexplicable Republican and, Democrat
alike approved the resolution. Kinslea's illus
trious chief, President Wilson, has already de-
cared that his ideas ON tariff reduction are that
no legitimate industry must be hurt, and the res
olution of yesterday was quite along the line of
the presidents public declarations. AS matter
of party principle, Kinslea could quite well have
voted for the measure. AS matter of duty to
his territory, he should have done so. ... -.

MERCHANTS TAKE
UP SUGAR WORK
With COAST

A letter from the Merchants Asso-
cation, signed by o. A. Bierbach, sec
rotary, has been addressed to the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce. It
contains many of the arguments
evolved for use in the campaign OF
The sugar protection committee. Fol-
lowing is a summary of its leading
points:
More than 90 per cent Of our bust
ness activities is based on sugar.
Our total commerce with the main
band now amounts to. $19,e0e,No, OF
which 80 per cent and more is done
with the people of California, and
through the port of San Francisco
Our purchases in q year amount to
SOS. 900, 600, Of which over S1S,000,O0O
comes to US from the port of San
Francisco. Fifty percent of our sugar
shipments passes through the port OF
San Francisco. .:.....
Reference is made to a statement
prepared for transmission with the.
letter, showing the merchandise that
the merchants Of Hawaii bought from
the merchants of the mainland in
1912. Every line of trade gets share
Increase Of our business depends
On the tariff on sugar. Continued
prosperity for Hawaii means more
business for you. -. 7z:-E
Relative to an imputatien OF wa
tered stock, the letter says that the.
Capitalization of all sugar properties
in 1911. was ss74, 2S6,141, while the as
sessed valuation for taxes of these
properties was $92, 48s,041. The total
assessed value of all real and per-
sonal PROPERTY in the territory was

CRUISER TO MEXICAN PORT.
DENVER DISPATCHED TO PRO-
TECT AMERICAN LIVES.
Threatened Rebel Outbreak i'm Aca-
pulcO Necessitatcs Prompt Action
by United States.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The shifting
character of Mexican rebel activities
again was demonstrated today when K
became necessary to dispatch the
cruiser Denver from San Diego, Cal,
to Acapulco, on the southern Pacific
coast of the republic, where American
lives are in momentary danger be-
cause of threatened rebel outbreak
in that city.
Following reports of the NIadero
government that the revolution would
be put down, came reassuring reports
from the Mexican States along the
Mexican frontier, but hope of early
pacification of the republic gave way
as it became apparent that the federal
forces were inadequate 10 cope with
the rebels in the central and southern
districts, who have carried on their
operations even in the very face Of
the seat of government
Alarmed by reports from Consul
Edwards, state department officials
today realized that strong measures
were necessary, and so called upon the
navy to dispatch a warship to Aca-
pulco.
Officials here now hope for a change
in the fortunes of the Mexican federal
government through the consumma-
ton Of the 100000 pesos bond is
sue for the authorization of which
Mexican congress has passed a bill.
1t is apparent that only with sufficient
money to purchase munitions of war
the federal forces, can the rebellion
be stamped out.
