Ruin for Hawaiian Sugar Business.

Business in the Islands is rather
upset at present, every enc waiting tt
see how the sugar tariff is going.
Free sugar will certainly be a dealt
blow to us. and the greater part of tht
plantations will be put out of business
A larger number of them have already
stopped paying dividends and the best
of them have cut their dividends in
half.
Since annexation to the United
States the cost of sugar production
has increased from SIS To 500 Der ton,
and il now costs us about $50 per ton
more to land our sugars in New York
than it does cuba. ! don't understand
why Mr.. Wilson is so insistent upon
forcing a measure that will ruin so
important an industry as sugar Free
sugar will certainly kill a business
that IS now producing over one million
tons of sugar, ! mean in the United
States, which does not include Cuba.
'"rhe only thing we can now do. is
to wait and take whatever is passed
up to u.s.
The above Is from the letter of a
Honolulu business man to Hallowell
relative 1t breatbes fairness and
resignation. but failure to understand
the processes of a great mind and the
control of a great party that wilfully
inflict such hardship upon a portion
of the country's people This Homo
lulu gentleman was a native of Massa-
chusetts and his children are educated
there, a son in Harvard and daughter
in Boston Art School He understands
political conditions in this country as
well as the business of his adopted
island. Some Maine farmers under

latest changes in the tariff law to
every collector of customs in the eoun-
try, and each collector will be COM
PEELED to apply these duties as soon as
the bill is signed. This means not
merely a substitution of low rates TO-
higher rates, but complete change in
the system of valuation, the training
of large forces of men To make the
new calculations, and a general
switching from specific to ad yalorerl
duties. The administrative features
of the law have also been changed, ne
cessitating a new line of procedure in
many instances.
lit will be difficult enough for ths.
collectors and their employees if the.
new law goes into effect on Saturday
with only "A hours for preparation,
but it will be infinitely worse if the
bill should become effective on any
other day of the week. The least that
Congress can do is to arrange the
passage of the bill so that the Presi
dent can sign it on Saturday, granting
the collectors days respite.

Rivals Her Daughter
in Youthful Beauty
(From Social Register

A we'll known society matron whose
youthful beauty is so well preserved
that she is regarded as her daughters
rival in this espect-though she does
not pose as such-attributes her girl
ish complexion chiefly to two things.
She says:
Il am convinced that creams, by
overlooking the skin and pores tend
to age the complexion. Mereolized
wax has just the opposite effect II
keeps the pores clean, permitting them
to breathe. and removes dead parti-
Giles of cuticle which are constantly
appearing and which give the com>
plexion that faded look Whenever
nay skin begins to get the least bit Off
color, l go to my druggists for an
ounce of mercolized wax. / apply this
nightly, like cold cream, for u week or
so, washing it off mornings. This is
what keeps my complexion so fresh,
white and velVety.
The absence of wrinkles and fab
biness ! owe TO the use Of a simple
face bath prepared by dissolvnng one
ounce of powdered saxolite in a half
pint witch hazel This keeps the skin
tight and firm. ADV

The New Tariff Law.

Spring house cleaning is nothing as
compared to the upsetting influences
of a new tariff law on the customs
service of the country. The coun-
try's business is another matter,
largely private, bat the customs SER
vice is part of our great govern
ment system. And this service will
be taxed TO its utmost in adjusting
itself to the new duties. Treating
this phase of the situation now at
hand, the Washington Post says:
There has been much speculation as
to the effect that the bill VIII have on
business. but the effect on the customs
service is not a matter of speculation
Anybody who knows anything at al
about the tariff must be aware that IL
is not an easy matter to apply an en-
tirely new scale of duties TO imports
valued at millions Of dollars
The situatio has been complicated
by the change in the sysetm of valua-
ton from specific duties 10 ad val
orem. Most Of the collectors are aware
that under the ad valorem system
fraud is more easily perpetrated
Moreover. importers have been piling
up goods in bonded warehouses 70,
many months, in anticipation Of the
low rates, and there will be a race to
put these goods through the custom
houses 10 get the advantage Of the
first demand for low priced foreign
goods.

The Way We Greet Them.

Those signs, Automobiles Go Slow, "
Ten Dollars Fine for Driving Faster
Than Eight Miles an Hour" and others
of their kind. seem to have little effect
upon the average automebilist Some
times we wonder how the following
would work in Maine and other New
England states:
Motorists are received in a very
courteous manner by the city of Au-
rora. Ill, says the October Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Signs stationed
like outposts on all the roads form a
reception committee to welcome the
tourist and put him in a pleasant
humor before he crosses the city
limits. Instead of frightening him
away with warning of fine for ex-
ceeding the speed limit. the signs
merely give him a kindly hint that ex-
cessive speed is not desirable. To a
motorist approaching the city, the
signs read, Aurora. Welcome to Our
City; Watch Out for Copsi - and as
he leaves the city, the other side of
each sign says. 80 Long. Come Often
and Stay Longer"

Editorial Comment
Is 1t Snobbery?
CNew York Commercially

tNeW York Commefelai.)
Batting Secretary of State Bryan
has been carried to a ridiculous extent
by the newspapers opposed to him.
The New York Commercial has al
ready expressed itself on this subject
and has little to add to what has al
ready been printed in these columns.
Mr.. Bryan after disposing of the
mitted of settlement at the time has
resumed his Chautauqua lecture tour
in places within easy reach of Wash
ngton. In some cases he is lectur-
ing before large audiences which have
bought tickets based on a fixed pro-
gram of entertainment that included
what might be called vaudeville turns.
at least the papers that are attacking
Mr.. Bryan So describe them. In this
democratic country there is no reason
why Mr.. Bryan should not come in
personal contact with reputable
musician or other entertainer 1t is
cheap snobbery to say that he de-
grades himself personally or officially
by so doing. 1t is an old and we'll
recognized mark of the gentleman
who is satisfied with the solidity of
his own social position that he is
never afraid to speak to or shake
hands with persons Whom the world
commonly regards as his social in
feriors. Thackeray dealt with this
delightfully."- in his book Of snobs, and
some of the newspaper writer's who
are pouring out the walls of their
snobbish wrath on Mr.. Bryan's de-
voted head should re-read Thaekery.
