MAUI AND PROMOTION
WORK

Maui's plan to have representative of that
island stationed in Honolulu to meet tourists
and urge them to take the Valley Isle trips is
a plan that can be worked out in harmony with
the general promotion campaign. 1t would not
be bad idea if all of the islands had their rep
resentatiyes in Honolulu, with headquarters
with the Hawaii Promotion Committee and all
working in conjunction with the Committee
In this way the maximum of advertising for
the individual island attractions could be Sc
cured as well as the maximum of general boost
ing. If the work of the Promotion Committee
expands as it should if it is given adequate f.
nancial support, there will be plenty to do for
a staff of four or five live-wire hustIers. By
combining their offices at one headquarters,
expense will be saved.
The thing to be guarded against is the I'M
organized division of promotion work. The gun
that fires scattering shot doesn't carry the
''punch" that live promotion work for Hawaii
must have. The people of Maui feel that their
island needs more individual boosting and they
are prepared to pay for it. That same wide
awake spirit will convince all promotionistsH
that concentrated and cooperating boosting is
the only kind that will be of permanent benefit
to all Hawaii.

George r. Carter says that the Progressives
are showing the value of a clean campaign. AS
a matter of fact, so are the Rice speakers and
managers. The Rice campaign is as clean as
hase ever been waged in IIawaii-carried on by
the fairest and most straightforward methods
"a direct appeal to the intelligence and pub
lie spirit and patriotic interest of the voters
of Hawaii. In not one speech that the Star
Bulletin has heard or heard of has Charles A.
Rice made any statement on which he is not
willing to stand; in not one speech so far as we
know has he attempted to mislead the voters
in the slightest degree He has not INDUCED
in mud -slinging personalities; he has not made
statements as to political conditions on the
mainland that he cannot back up with proof;
he has not temporized or theorized. He has
driven straight forward on the dominant issue
that Hawaii needs at Washington not only
man of ability, but man of energy-a man
who will be there when he is needed And this
Rice pledges himself to do. The character of
the Rice campaign is one that every fair-mind-
ed man in Hawaii should appreciate and as it's
cleanliness and progressiveness are becoming
apparent to those who know little of Rice per
sonally, his strength is growing.

MANGANESE IN PINEAPPLE SOILS

Honolulu. Aug. 90, 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
Sir: Reading the issue of your paper
of Aug. Sth, | noticed a remark that
manganese has been discovered in the
pineapple soils in these islands.
Some eight or nine years ago, during
my sojourn in Honolulu, took lively
interest in the development OF
the pineapple industry. While
examining the Wahiawa soils,
noticed, when some of them
were treated with hydrochloric
acid. a generation of free chlorine.
Further tests showed that those. soils
contained manganese up to IA per cent
of brownstone. published about that
subject in several scientific papers, If
| am not mistaken, and also in the Ad-
vertiseT. "
While'I have to claim the priority
of this discovery, appreciate fully the
work done in this regard by the U. S.
experiment station in pursuing the
subject more to the detail than did.
My publications during this time con-
corning pine apple.growing and the in
formation given to the growers must
have escaped the attention of the sta
ton. III .~..".
Yours very truly,

RICE'S SUPPORT ON MAUI.

Apparently Hama is the only district where
candidates have enough backbone to come out
in the open and declare where they stand on
the delegateship question. Last week John
Wilcox and J. B. X. Kamai, both took the stump
and made strong speeches for Rice. Kawaa-
koa of the same district, who failed to get on
the ticket through irregularity in filing his APP
pication, had announced himself as favoring
Kuhio. There is something in Hama that breeds
independence, which candidates in other dis
triets seem to lack.-Maui News

FREEDOM FOR AMERICAN
COMMERCE

The London Chronicle, in taking up the
cause of American shipping, strikes the right
note America is the only country able to
handle the tremendous sea transportation prob
lem brought on by the war, and America is
not able to handle it unless American ships and
cargoes are to be guaranteed. some reasonable
freedom from inspection and seizure on the
high seas.
few days ago the British consul here re-
eeied list of goods that has been proclaimed
contraband and conditional contraband by
Great Britain. Under the head of conditional
contraband comes virtually everything that fig
ures in Uncle Sam S foreign trade-foodstuffs,
forage and grain, shoes and clothing, vehicles,
gold and silver bullion, etc. Until the mastery
of the Atlantic and of many Continental and
English ports is decided, until the trade routes
are clear, America can do little in foreign trade
Until either Great Britain or Germany drives
the cruisers and dreadnoughts ofsits enemy
from the sea, American ships are likely at any
time to be stopped and searched. This harass-
ment will discourage instead of encourage
American commerce.
Great Britain seems to be confident of her
control of the Atlantic today. The Chronicles
warning that the British government should
not attempt to search American ships at sea is
timely.

POLITICAL WHoPPERs.
Editor Honolulu Star-BuIletin,

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-Poor old Solomon was right.
The grace and ease with which poll.
tical candidates tell whoppers is in
accord with the political movements
of the hour. AS we progress we grow
broader, and the fellow looking for a
snap in some city Office grows liberal
with his whoppers, and we at the
same time are less exacting, that is,
we don't contradict him. Candidates
are telling today what they will do
when We know gol blamed well that
they will proceed to forget it as soon
as their election certificate is hand
ed to them. But we are broad mind.
ed and let it slide. Statements by
candidates, that few years ago would
have been treated with contempt and
regarded as abominable are now
seemingly necessary to the candidate
in his business. Everything goes, and
in that connection the gentle art OF
telling whoppers during election time
has hiked right along with the rest
of the progressive ideas, and is well
to the front among the stock in trade
of candidates where it blooms and
thrives. d.. H..

ARKANSAS PRODUCES
MOST ALUMINIUM ORE
Also Greatest Producer OF NOvacuIite,
From Which OH Stones
Are Made.

Arkansas is first among the states
in the production of two minerals
bauxite and novaculite the former be-
ing the ore of aluminium and the Latter
the source of the larger part of the
oilstones produced in the United
States. The principal mineral product
of Arkansas, however, is coal, the an
nual value of which constituted over
80 per cent of the state total. The
total value of all the mineral pro-
duce of Arkansas in 1913 was $780,
$50, according to the United States ge-
illogical survey, compared with &c.
25S.726 in 1912. The coal production
was 2.234,107 short tons. valued at
$3,S23,701 in 1913, against 2,10O,S19
tons, valued at $3,5S2,7S9, in 1912. The
Goals of Arkansas are generally of
nigh grade, particularly in the eastern
part Of the coal field, where they ap-
proach anthracite in character. The
semi-anthracite Of Arkansas is an en-
cellent domestic fuel and reaches mar
kets as far north as Kansas City.
Bauxite. from which aluminium is
derived, is second among the mineral
products OF the state. 1t is mined
near Benton, in Saline county, and in
Pulaski county.
In 1913 the stone quarries of Arkan-
sas furnished products valued at
$525.050, exclusive of novaculite and
of limestone burned for lime. In 1912
the quarry products were valued at
S513,844. The clay-working indus
tries. while not highly developed, take
third place and in 1913 produced an
outnut valued at $529,624. an increase
of $67.019 over 1912. The sand and
gravel pits Welded S32O.639 in 1913 and
$293,639 in 1912. The only metallifer-
Gus products of Arkansas besides
bauXite are lead, zinc. and manganif-
erous ores. Other commercial miner
al pboducts are fuller's earth, gems
and precious stones. lime, mineral wa
ters. natural gas, phosphate rock and
