YOUR EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

Would be a small item if the
monthly rent checks were
omitted. Have you as yet solved
the problem whereby this item of
expense called "Rent" can be
termed a profit, and ultimately
make YOU a home owner?
If you will take this matter up
with our Secretary he will explain
our method of making your rent

OPPOSES FREE SUGAR.
Former Gov Carter Says Underwood
Bill Will Ruin Hawaii.

Former Gov. George r. Carter of
Hawaii, who has come to Washington
on behalf of the sugar producers of
Hawaii and the Chamber of Commerce
and Merchants Association of Honolulu.
declared today that free sugar will mean
a decrease of 50 per cent in the annual
revenue of their territory, and that the
commercial supremacy of the United
States in the Pacific ocean will be lost.
Sugar is our one great industry, said
Gov Carter. 1T provides SIS per cent of
the 100000 annually expended by the
local government and in addition it pays
81 900 each year into the United
states Treasury. 1t educates our 1900
school children. Free sugar means that
the next Governor Of Hawaii must reduce
government expenditures to 100000 a
wear. This would mean reduction Of
six-sevenths in the $1.5O0.0o0 spent an
nually for education

III IN an old Manuscript in a dead language you
should decipher that on certain day cOmeiy
and healthy young woman, penniless and alone,
after weeks of furnishing scraps from cast
away picnic lunches and of sleeping on park
benches and in out-of-the-way places, being I'M
willing to earn ease at the price of shame, had
sought escape by poison, what would you think OF
the civilization of her timef
Reading her pathetic story, wouldn't you be
likely to swell with pride and exclaim: "Thank
heaven, if such things used to be, they couldn't
happen in this Christian land in this era of peace
and plenty!"
Suppose that, perusing the old manuscript fur
Their, you came to story Of roomful of orderly
persons eating quietly In tavern until suddenly
there was a commotion at the door and band OF
men wearing the uniforms of officers rushed in,
seized number of these quiet citizens, men and
women alike beat down their resistance and threw
them boldly into the street. Wouldn't you be in
clned to look upon it picture of the dark ages,
as an example of feudal outrage in the rule of
might over right Wouldn't your impulse be to
rejoice that such scenes had passed away2
Then suppose you turned page and read that
about the same time and in the same country
lust-crazed young man, red handed with murder,
after years of trifling with the laws of God and
man. had bought his way through the walls of
restraining institution and was bedeviling an
tire continent in his impudent efforts to escape
Wouldn't you think it, Also nightmare of the
buried past?
Alas, these are not tales from ancient history.
They are taken from the chronicles of day. All
reflect the civilization of our richest city and
state. And still we wonder why there are re-
formers.
