Sinclairs argument was that there

THE GROWTH or WIRELESS

The enormous growth of the wireless tele-
graph systems of the United States in the years
1907 to 1912 inclusive is emphasized i'm figures
recently collected and made public by the fed.
eral census bureau. The figures exclude all gov
ernment plans and plants in the insular terri
tory under the American flag. Even with these
exclusions, the remainder, representing the com
mercial systems, is very large considering the
cOmparatiye infancy of wireless ,
The figures presented show that while there
was net deficit in operation in 1907, net in
come was the result of the business in 1912. The
gross income( only the total of which can be
given, as to do otherwise would disclose individ-
ual financial operatiOns) increased $562, 1867, or
527 per cent, over 1907. 4 great part of this in
come was the rental of wireless apparatus for
ship equipment. The expenses. including
charges for depreciation in 1912, increased 1904 :
O91, or 3l4.4 per cent. The great decrease in
assets $22,5S 100, or 6S.5 per CENTS due to
the disappearance of one large company in a
merger of interests. The decrease was largely in
the value placed on patent rights, good will, and
contracts in 1907, and op-treasury stock
The amount expended for construction and
equipment increased $685., t56, or 2SO per cent.
over 1907, and the number of employees 1872. or
"A per cent = the increase in salaries and wages
being $311 $50, or 3S1 per cent.
Since much of the wireless development took
place in 1918, and since one of the features of
wireless telegraphy is its early establishment,
and growth in insular territory. the figures
given above do not 10y any means represent the

eral supervision over the sanitation
OF the camp. This, in itself. is sufti-
Gent to inspire any man to the point
Of lending his assistance in order that
, this branch Of the service may be
kept at its highest efficiency But
there is something else that the hos

man receives from it enables him to
be useful to himself as well as others,
in time Of peace as we'll as in time
IF war Each man in the detachment
is furnished with hand book. which

a drowning person. how tC care for
such emergencies as shock. sunstroke

So that they will not become infected
Talks are given on all these topics
and many more, by officers in charge
For any one who. is interested in
this kind of work. the hospital offers
lust the thing he lis. after Incomes

Der of the hospital corps,
There are a few vacancies in the

NO HEARING FOR TIRE KNOCKERS

Happily they are few Why should there he

Why shouldn't Honolulu welcome its thousands
OF visitors from the other islands and the out
side world with an expansive smile, without a
trace of idle criticism?
Constructive criticism is good, it is worth
while, it helps But destructive criticism hurts
Honolulu, hurts Hawaii AS an example of what
destructive criticism may do, there was a story
started recently that the official Carnival leis
were made by alien labor, and over this matter
small enough even if true but in fact not true
Ia yeritable storm of condemnation and rec
Elimination was raised-until someone took the
trouble to run the report to earth and establish
Its falsity -.
There may be some flaws in the workings Of
the Mid.Pacific Carnival for 1914 Honolulu is
straining every effort to carry out successfully
program of unusual elaborateness Many of
the features have never. before been attempted
Some Of them are really experiments But they
are experiments undertaken to give the visitors

before greater in variety in picturesqueness,
IN character interest There was never fete or
carnival or exposition in which flaws could not
be picked. There are bound to be some slight
mistakes made here but, people of Hawaii and
visitors, they are not mistakes of intention,
The Star Bulletin has not been called upon
to speak for the Carnival management and what
Is said here is said without consultation with any
Carnival official Direetor-general Dougherty
and his associates have shown themselves ready
to receive any suggestion, to give it full and fair
consideration and to make changes in their own
plans where changes seemed advisable 1t
strikes us that merely as "a matter of courteous
feciprocation the people Of Honolulu cannot do
less than to refrain from foolish, idle, ignorant
criticism That is the least they can do

CIVIC CONVENTION DATE
CHANGED TO OCTOBER ON.
ACCOUNT OF. FACILITIES

1t was decided at a n Getting of the
committee which has charge of the
arrangements for the, next civic con
vention, to change the date of the
affair from July 4, 5: and 6, to early
in October. 1t was felt that the ho-
tells and boarding houses could not
house the big crowd that is sure to
attend the conyention-to say nothing
of the race crowd WHICH always comes
to Maui for the Fourth.
The various committees will have
much more time now to make their
arrangements. and the convention
should be all the better for the change
in dates
The hotel managers have all been
approached on the subject Of occOm-
rotations for the visitors, and it is
certain that ample provision will be
made for the comfort Of the delegates
while they are on Maui.-Naui News

AGITATION IN TIE PHILIPPINES

1.-THE nearer We get to independents" the more
unpalatablc it looks. cxcIaims the CahlenewS-
Amt rican and other Philippine papers concur
rmpIaticaly
The Philippine press is discussing tn" report
| of "nputraliZatiOn commission with c"nSld-
cradle heat The CablcneWsAmcrican says: IS
Standardization with an international COM
mission to boss things would show 4 wonderful
confidence on the part Of President Wilson in
the capabilities of the Filipinos to maintain Il
government Instead of naturalization being a
case of hands off, it is evidently to be a case Of
everybody with a hand in the Philippine pie.
The United States, with customary nlagnanim-
ity, is to surrender sovereignty over the islands
to motley group Of Powers. They are agree
able, of course The United States transfers to
them fOur;fifths or five-siXths, as the case may
be, of her right and title. The prospect is so
pleasing that some of the Powers are aid to have
agreed already.
"If the scheme of DECENTRALIZATION, said to be uI-
der consideration goes through, it will be one
more triumph for japanese diplomacy. That
willy nation generally knows what it is after,
and generally gets it. Before the war with Rus
STA it played England, Germany and Russia
against one another and emerged with the thing
it wanted-the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The
California episode helped to make for Japan the
opportunity she needed to hustle the United
States out of the Philippines, and it was to be
expected that she would make the most of it.
Once the United States withdraws, Japan will
take care of the future That is TO be expected
also. The reported stipulation of Japan that
her commissioner shall always be ON the ground
and exercise general supervision indicates that
her interests will at NO time be neglected. Why
Japanese immigration should be limited to three
million is not understood that must be q mis-
take. .:.......- 's5'.<Fs = 49,

land law, and the rumored naturalization there
may be some connection We ventured the opin-
ion months ago that japanese exclusion in Cali
fornia might be followed by unlimited japanese
immigration to the Philippines"
