Another source of complaint, is
the expense bills allowed the road

be found elsewhere. 1t should be
read and studied by the taxpayers.
From the items of the November
bill it will be seen that the county
paws for washing the automobile

ing it in repair. 1t will also be
seen that for an expensive" ma
chine it needs a great deal of fixing
every month. For the three months
it has been used by the road super
visor the bills for repairs. Gil, etc.
amount to over $500, or over 500
per month. This added to the sal
ary makes. the cost of this officer
$3.50 per month.
We have no intention of criticiz-
ing the work of the road supervis-
or as we know nothing about it
but we do think that he should keep
his own machine in repair.
Some people who pay taxes say
that the county is paying alto
gether too much money in settling
Mr.. Agee's private grievances. As
proof of this they point to his
trouble with Sam Bachman that
cost the county a snug sum We
believe Mr.. Agee is entitled to the
same protection as other citizens
and no more. His property should
have all the protection accorded by
the law to all citizens. II the
prosecutions he brings are based on
personal spite, and brought to
wreak personal vengeance, he is un-
worthy of any protection. But this
we cannot believe.

the part of George Carter, Harry Irwin, l; d.
Mead, +. Il. Paxton. Judge Ballou and the 9th
efs. They have kept back nothing. They have
told the truth and the whole truth.
To all in Hawaii who know the situation, the
Expenditures made by the local planters,
large as they are do not seem at all extraordi-
nary. The sugar industry here is a big-scale in
dustry. 1t deals not in thousands but in mil
lions. Nor do the expenditures in Washington
made on behalf of the industry seem extraordi-
nary Carter hit the nail on the head when he
told the committee that Hawaii would spend
Eight. hundred thousand without culver if It
would save sixty-two invested millions.
Hawaii is fighting not for an academic prin-
ciple, but for commercial prosperity, for econom-
ic existence Hawaii is not fighting for the sake
of few dollars a ton added profit on sugar but
for the very life of the sugar industry. Hawaii
has weathered storms before now, but there is
not a man in this territory, sugar expert or lay
man, who knows just the extent of the disaster
that permanent operation of a free-sugar tariff
would wreak And under these conditions the
territory is justified, amply justified, in spend
ing a great deal of money in this great campaign
of education - education of party-bound SEN
ators and of practically the whole of the Ameri-
can people.
The fight is being made aboye-board, in full
view of every man and woman in the United
States And yet we doubt not that Wilson and
his hand picked committee of investigation will
find the sugar lobby "insidious," will find it
guilty. They will play upon moneyspending

Of Hawaii's fight and the tremendous scope of
this campaign of education And it is precisely
this result that Mr.. Wilson must have fOreseen

an OPPORTUNITY OF SPORT

Hawaii today is the center of the worlds in
terest in aquatic sports. Yesterdays perform
ances are perhaps the most remarkable ever wit
messed in one swimming meet The most re-
markable thing was not the worlds record set by
Duke, his new American records or the new Ha
waiian records, nor was it the sterling perform
ance of Miss Ruth Stacker, who covered the fifty
yards in the fastest time ever hung up by fem
mime swimmer
The really remarkable thing was that literally
scores of local swimmers shovel themselves in
the championship class Dukes victories were
won by scant yards, if not less; other first
places by scant feet. whole shoal of young
sters under sixteen covered the fifty-yard sprint
in time that half a dozen years ago would have
been the worlds record for adults. Hawaii can
produce hundreds of men and boys that are mar
wells of speed and endurance in the wafer.
Why not hold great invitational swimming
meet here during Floral Parade week next year?
Why not ask the crack swimmers from the
Coast and from Australia to come here and race
the local champions?
The expense would not be great. Yesterdays
attendance showed the absorbing interest that
Honolulu has come to feel in swimming races
since Duke conquered the world at Stockholm
Such a meet, properly advertised all over the
world, would be an international attraction. 1t
would pay for itself many times over. 1t would
advertise not only the annual Floral Parade, but
Honolulus unparalleled facilities for ocean bath
ing and swimming.
In 1916 all eyes will be on San Francisco
Next year would be the time for Hawaii to hold
a great series of aquatic events here for the low
ers Of sport and the lovers of picturesque athletc
achievement
And the chance of entering such meet
would be still further stimulus to hundreds of
youths now aspiring to the same kind of clean
and well-won honors that Duke and Miss Ruth
Stacker have gained for Hawaii

THE PRESIDENTS COUP

President Wilson's attack on the ''insdiOus
lobby was ceverly-executed coup to put the
campaigners for sugar protection on the defens-
i've.
The move came at time when two or three
Democratic senators were wavering between adj
herence to party regularity and adherence to the
prosperity and welfare of their constituents and
to the safety of an industry as legitimate as any
industry that ever grew under the toll and sweat
of man.
Until Wilson made his plausible charges that
improper influences were bearing on the sena-
tors, the Democratic party was on the defensive.
Underwood, Clark, Simmons and Wilson him.
self were apparently reduced to the argument
that the party must stand together on the whole
tariff BILL that to weaken on sugar or wool
would be to open the crevice in the Democratic
wall and make way for the crumbling before the
later flood. They were not fighting out the
sugar tariff on its merits, nor has the party
throughout the controversy dared to fight out
the sugar tariff on its merits.
Wilson's charges of insidious lobbying were
made to put the domestic sugar-producers on the
defensive They were made to bring into the
fight statements of the sums of money expended,
of the activities of the publicity bureaus and
press agents, of the conferences with senator's
and appeals to senators,-but particularly to
bring out the facts of money expenditure.
1t was apparent that the domestic sugarmen
were spending large sums of money. Possibly
the Democratic leaders hoped to find that part
of this money was being spent illegitimately.
Certainly they desired to make this point against
sugar-that its profits are such that the sugar
growers can spend hundreds of thousands to save
the tariff.
To the credit of Hawaiis representatives in
Washington be it said, they are making fight
that Hawaii should be proud of. They have gone

is contemplated and that campaign

! Democratic leaders. while concerned
over the activity of Republicans and
Bull Moose, are hoping that in the big
three-cornered struggle of next year
they will win out again as they did in
1912. They admit, however, that little
can be told about the outcome until
the tariff measure has gone into eff
feet and ii is possible to see how the
country takes it. Should it work out
successfully, with little disturbance of
business, and perceptible relief in liv-
ing costs, the Democrats have good
reason to believe they will have
smooth sailing.
1t is apparent that the struggle for
next year is going to center on the
tariff. Proceeding on that theory, the
Democratic leaders are planning to
swamp the country with tariff litera-
ture. Millions of copies of a compact
tariff handbook are going to be issued
for the enlightenment of the voters on
the Underwood bill.
The Republicans are still many
miles from harmony among the war
ring factions in spite of the unani-
