improvements have been made at the
Alexander House gymnasium during
the last few weeks. Through an ar
rangement effected by the Waikiki
Sugar Company with the county,
water from the town mains is now
used for the swimming tank. The
water is perfectly clear and young and
old are thoroughly enjoying the bath
ing place. The gymnasium committee
painted the walls and. floor of the tank
white and the iron work black, so
that the whole tank is now most at
tractive in appearance.
The Island Electric Company has
changed the wiring of the gymnasium,
placing four large lamps near the To-
cation of the gas jets. The result is
that the floor is brilliantly lighted.

WILLLOWER LIVING

Not everyone realizes the exact sig
nificance of the Panama Canal from
the standpoint of shortened distance
between Atlantic and Pacific ports. 1t
takes considerable time for the heavy
freight steamers to go from New York
to the Oregon and Washington ports
around the Horn, distance of over
$4,000 miles. When the Panama Canal
is completed this distance will have
been cut down to approximately 5000
miles, thus affording saving in time
alone of four -sevenths of the former
time. When the vast saving in ex-
pense of transportation is considered,
the full meaning of this great venture
of Uncle Sam can be realized and the
public should benefit by that saving.
In fact, it is freely predicted that the
effect of the reduction of carrying
rates that will result from the opening
up of the canal will greatly affect the
high cost of living against which there
is so great an outcry all over the coun.
try

and the dust-laden factory remain.
Primarily, it is the child of neglect, ig-
norance, alcoholism, but, deeper than
that, the seat of the trouble lies in
"man's inhumanity to man." Vacu-
um devices are being invented that
carry off the dust of factories, legis-
lation will soon compel better condi-
tions in the coal mines, and it is hoped
the "back-to-thefarm" cry will soon
relieve the crowded condition of the
tenements of the large cities. But un-
til these conditions are relieved, the
great white plague will continue to ex-
act its toll from the ranks of the wage
Garner, whose germ-infected body ex-
udes the seed of further destruction.
Gratifying as are the results of re-
cent scientific methods of treatment
of the disease, it is still significant
that the death rate among consump-
tives is about one in eight. This i'm
proved ratio is due to the greater at
tention to fresh air breathing, better
ventilation in houses and the realiza.
tion on the part of weak-lunged peo-
pie that the night air, far from being
injurious, is the best air to be had at
night and that cold air is not neces-
sarily injurious. Within few months
the death rate has been reduced from
one in seven to one in eight. It is
hoped the discovery of an effective
serum will prove indeed reality.

IS THERE A LIMIT =?

The achievements of wireless during
the short time since its discovery have
furnished the most startling evidences
of the advance in modern science. I'm
less it be the science of aviation, wire
less has made the most signal success.
For the first time in history Christmas
greetings were sent from Mare Island
at San Francisco to the United States
capitol at Washington, December %
last.
The message was from Captain Mayo,
commandant of the Mare Island Navy
Yard, and was received by the giant
radio station at Arlington.
1t conveyed the wishes of Captain
Mayo and other officers at the navy
yard to the secretary of the navy and
the officers of the navy and marine
corps for emery Christmas and a
happy New Year."
Skeptics the world over hooted at
wireless before it was a reality. They
hooted at aviation before the Wright
brothers made themselves famous and
established new mode of travel by
their experiments. So they hooted at
the steam railway in days past and at
the telephone, telegraph, printing press
and every other thing that has made
the modern specialized system of labor
and promotion a possibility. And they
will continue to hoot, few of them
as lone as thew live
Is there limit to the achievements
of wireless? Men who have followed
its success almost universally agree
that there is not. Year after year il
has passed the hopes of its promoters.
Already it has paid for its discovery
thousand times over in the number of
lives it has saved on the ocean. When
the fated Titanic sank wireless did its
work, and, had the ships that heard
the message needed the call, all might
have been saved. Scarcely week
passes that some new achievement is
not recorded. History repeats itself
and there will be no limit to the
achievements of wireless. Indeed, the
most sanguine would predict the even.
tual linking of the earth with Mars
by wireless. Certainly on this earth
there is no limit.

THE GREAT WHITEPLAGUE
Eminent German Scientist Claims Discovery of Serum
That Will Cure Dreaded Disease

The world looked up in wonder and
breathed a sigh of relief when it was
announced some time ago that an eff
fective serum, secured from the turtle,
which would cure all cases of tubercu-
losis except those in the last stages,
had been discovered by DR.. Frederick
Franz Friedman, a German scientist.
Mr.. Friedman announced that he had
clearly demonstrated the effectiveness
of the serum in a large number of
cases and that he could supply it to
the world at comparatively nominal
fee. He said also that the supply Of
the serum was unlimited and could be
furnished to every physician of the
world in any quantities desired. Tele
grams and cables began pouring in on
DR.. Friedman, but he has as yet re-
fused to give the serum out to the
world. He gives as his reason the fear
that it may come into the hands Of
improper parties and that if he an
nounces its dispensation quacks and
takers will arise and announce, as they
have done in many former case, that
they possess the coveted remedy. He
fears the medical profession will suffer
from such result and is undecided
what course to pursue.
The fight against tuberculosis has
been agelong. 1t will continue just as
long as the sweatshop, the coal mine

withdrew the commodity from the nor.
NAL current of trade, enhanced prices
and produced practically the same evils
as the suppression of competition. As
to the latter argument, the court said
it made no difference that there was
no allegation of specific intent to
restrain interstate trade, for "the con-
spirators must be held to have in
tended the necessary and direct con-
sequences of their acts and cannot be
heard to say to the contrary"
The manipulation of necessities such
as clothing and foodstuffs is the most
far-reaching and baneful of all the
gambling devices. The public
pays the bill in any event, but it can
stand raise in the price of steel far
better than raise in cotton, wool or
wheat. An increase of cent a pound
in the price of cotton does not bring
great burden upon the individual
who buys shirt made from this cot
ton, but when it happens in a dozen
different commodities, and keeps on
happening, his pocketbook very soon
feels the drain upon it. Furthermore,
the matter of cent a pound looks like
small profit to the man who makes
the raise in price, but when it is con-
sidered that this increase is upon every
pound in the country, an idea of the
profit can be had. This is the princi-
pie of stock-gambledom and this is the
thing the American people have set
themselves to rectify.
Most conspicuous among the railroad
prosecutions of the past five years is
the indictment of Charles s. Mellen,
president of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford, and Boston & Maine Rail
roads, and Edison J. Chamberlin, presi-
dent of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada. The act of which these gen.
tlemen are accused is that of unlaw.
fully agreeing "to prevent the con.
struction and completion of any Of the
Grand Trunk New England extensions,
to prevent the operation of the Grand
Trunk steamship line" between New
York and Providence, "and to prevent
the transportation of persons and prop
erty in interstate and foreign COM
merce over said lines of railroads and
steamships" Mr.. A. W. Smithers,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Grand Trunk, is also named in the
indictment.
The thing that actually happened and
that shows again the immense prestige

1t was just before election, and he
wandered into the headquarters of his
political party in the thriving Long
Island town. He was warmly welcomed
by the local leader, who grasped his
hand and said:
Make yourself right at home, sir.
Do you know all these gentlemen This
is Mr.. Scales, inspector of weights and
measures; and this is Mr.. Graves. our
local undertaken; and this is Mr.. Key,
the locksmith; and this is Mr.. House,

tracting stone mason; and Mr.. Cutler,
the hardware merchant. And now, sir,

held by men of wealth, was the enter
ing into an agreement whereby New
England was sliced up and diveded
among the railroads involved, with the
understanding that each company was
to keep out of the field of the others
and all operations and constructions
under way were to be abandoned. So
it happened that bridges, cuts and
grades were left in half finished con-
dition. Needless to say, New England
was thoroughly aroused. Providence
was torn up to make place for the
tracks of the Grand Trunk, construc.
tion being well under way. But the
railroad suddenly announced that it
had withdrawn from the field and
would not complete its line. Expected
railroad development brings extensive
building along all lines and the in
jury wrought by the sudden withdrawal
of the Grand Trunk was far-reaching.
The effect of the whole arrangement
was corner of traffic to the extent
that competition was practically killed.
Hence the Indictment, which is meet
ing with approval in New England.
Another incident in connection with
the New Haven road is the announce.
ment by President Mellen that the road
would sell its steamship lines in 1914.
The Panama act is responsible for this
announcement. In this bill is a pro.
vision prohibiting railroads from own.
ing and operating coasting steamship
lines unless they can justify such own.
ership before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Mr.. Luther Conant, Jr.,
commissioner of corporations, in a re-
cent report, gives figures to show that
the New Haven Railroad stands first
among the several roads controlling the
coast and river navigation of the coun.
try. The report says:
"In acquiring their extensive con.
troll over domestic water carriers, rail.
roads have had in general three pur-
poses: First, to eliminate the compe.
tition of water carriers; second, to OBJ.
tain an entrance into territory not open
to their rail lines; and, third, to secure
valuable feeders, mainly local lines.
"In the case of the New Haven sys.
tenn all these purposes are apparent.
For some time past the New Haven
system has pursued determined policy
of suppressing any effective competi-
tion on Long Island Sound; several, at
least, of its recent acquisitions must
be regarded as due to this policy"

SHERMAN ANTI TRUST LAW IN OPERATION
Supreme Court Makes Important Decision Ptn
Returned Against Heads of ahoads

The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court, affirming the
indictment in the New York Federal
Court of James Patten and his associates
for cornering the cotton market in
1910, is in line with an awakened ten
dency throughout the country to hold
responsible masters of high finance,
who carry on their monopolistic opera.
tions with impunity at the expense Of
their less fortunate neighbors. Mr..
Patten and his associates will have to
stand trial for violation of the Sher.
man antitrust law, for the decision
referred to declares that to corner in.
terstate commodities, such as clothing
and food, is, in effect, a restraint of
trade. Chief Justice White and JUS
tices Lurton and Holmes dissented
from the majority opinion.
The case is significant, in that it is
one of chain of events that herald
the doom of the stock exchange. Dur
ing the past ten years an ever-increas-
ing cry has gone up from the Ameri-
can people for relief from the condi.
tions arising out of our financial pol
icy. A few men have amassed enor.
nous sums Of money by the skillful
operation of which on the stock ex.
change they are able to control the
price of commodities. They do this
by buying up the entire supply of a
given commodity and withholding it
from the public for short time, thus
giving the law of supply and demand
chance to work, with the result that
the price of the commodity begins to
soar. Then they unload the goods at
the increased price and pocket the sur
plus. The consumer pays the bill.
Briefly, this is the story of Mr.. Pat
tens manipulation. The Sherman anti.
trust law has been brought to bear
against him and he will have to stand
trial. The action of the court will
nave the approval of the masses of
American people and the outcome of
the trial will be watched with interest
The defense made the contention that
a control of the supply of cotton would
have a stimulating effect upon the
market. They claimed also that there
was no intent to restrain interstate
trade. In replying to the former con-
tention, Justice Vandevanter said that
while this might be true for a while,
the corner was forbidden by the act
because it thwarted the usual opera.
tion of the laws of supply and demand,
