Our Democratic friends con
tend that but for the attitude
and wise policy of President Will
son towards Mexico this country
would now, like all Europe, be
involved in a war. In view of
what has occurred in Mexico
during the past year this state
mentis truly remarkable. What
constitutes war? If the act of
the Wilson administration in in
vading Mexico with an armed
force and Selling and occupying
the principle part of that coun-
try, and the killing of hundred
or more Of its inhabitants in do.
ing so, was not war, then the
present invasion of France by
Germany is not an act of war
either. And let it be remember
ed that this conduct also cost our
invading force some score of flives
from the resistance of the Mexi-
cans. The only reason we are
not now engaged in real fighting
in Mexico is due to the fact that
that country is SO exhausted by
it's internal strife that it has not
the power of resisting the United
States, but as long as we are &C.
oupying the port of Vera Cruz
with our armed forces we are
clearly at war with Mexico and
have been ever since that act was
psrpetratea.

VARIOUS STAGES OF SMOKING
Ohoervant Man Has Noticed Pc.
ou'iar4ties That Mark Ago
Of the Cigar User.

4oung men. very young men, II
earlier smoking days like to keep the
ash on a cigar as long as it will stay
Somebody has told them that it Is q
mark Of good cigar for it to have
an ash that does not crumble and fall
on; 1t Is at least true that long ash
marks the cigar as one made with q
long dller.
The young man smoker who likes
TO see the ash grow and hang ON
handles his cigar with great care go
as not to joggle it of, and II he
smokes up the whole cigar without
dropping the ash he thinks that he
has been smoking a good CHAR and
that he is a good smoker.
AS he grows older the young man
comes to be smoker Of another sort.
He ticks the ashes of his cigar jaun-
tily. Then as he grows older st.u he
may come to be careless about the
ash. or he may be so engrossed with
other things as he smokes that he
let's the ash accumulate, to drop may
be on his garments and cover them
with ashes
Still later In life the grown, mature
man Is likely to knock the ash OF his
cigar at frequent intervals. to keep It
down short. He smokes in a business
like way, he doesn't want the ashes
scattered over him. But as he grows
older yet, when he comes to be an
oldish man, he may come again as
he smokes to keep the ash on a cigar
as long as he can.
You may see an old man smoking q
cigar thus. holding it carefully and
smoking slowly and contemplatively,
looking at the ash occasionally and
clearly interested in seeing it grow,
just as he did when he was young.
Why he does this now is uncertain,
but perhaps 1t Is because 1t brings
back memories OF his youth.

and Agriculture of the Country
But this is only half the story
} Aside from nearly two millior
operatives directly employed up
on the railroads in normal times
the hundreds of thousands OF
men who work in the great steel
mills, the coal mines, the lumber
industry and in the big car and
locomotive shops are equally vi

roads are making extensive i'm

OF the supplies it means that

Why Men Are Idle.
Every man who reads the
newspapers knows that our large
cities have been crowded with
idle men for number of years.
This has not been due so much
to politics, but rather that we
have been passing through one
OF the most marked business de-
pressions in the history of the
country-a period of readjust-
ment in the industrial world in
which a cropping after sound &C.
onomic policies, bad crops, etc.,
have all played their part. That
much of the trouble situated in
the labor world however has been
dus to the fact that the railroads
have been and are now facing the
most critical period in their his
tory is SO true that extended ar
gument is superfiuous Strug-
Cling against an ever increasing
cost of labor, operation and sup

and in the frantic endeavor to

they have been forced to discon.

lad railroad shops and thus dis

Of steel, lum ber, coal, new cars
and locomotives has likewise af-
fected the pay rolls of these in

unemployed which for some
years has been haunting every

The Farmer Vitally Concerned.
That the farmer has q very
'ital and personal interest in this
'ituation should be apparent at
glance. When the millions of
aboring men in the United
States are profitably employed

Enterprises are running full

PER CAPITA MEAT CONSUMPTION

The only countries reported as hav-
ing greater per capita consumption
of dressed meat than the United
States are the Australian Common
wealth and Argentina These, it is
well known, are countries of sparse
population and vast herds and f1ocks;
hence meat is exceedingly cheap and
the native consumption large and
probably wasteful.
The per capita consumption of meat
for Australia and Argentina is esti-
mated to be in the neighborhood of
$50 pounds per annum; it may posi-
bly, be even greater. The correspond
ing consumption for the United States
was computed by the United States
bureau of animal industry to be 172
pounds in 1909, and it is estimated to
be about 10 pounds less at the pres
ent time. This is much greater than
the British consumption, the largest
in Europe, which is slightly under 120
pounds per inhabitant per annum.

DIRECTORS Of 1915 MID.PACIFIC
CARNIVAL TO START WORK EARLY

That each member of the director
ate give early consideration to plans
for the 1915 celebration. as well as to
the matter OF the selection nf a direct
.or-general, were among the recon-
mendaticns made to the new board of
directors of the Mid.Pacific Carnival,
Limited. by its president, E. II. Paris.
at the initial meeting Of the body yes
terday afternoon.
Aside from Mr.. Paris being elected
president, G. Fred Bush was chosen
vice-president. James d. Dougherty
secretary and R. A. Cooke treasurer.
Il was voted that local trust COM
pany be employed to act as auditor Of
the corporation. With the exception
OF Fred l.. WaldroE, who now Is tour
ing the world and who expects to re-
turn to Honolulu in June, the entire
directorate was present. ., s...a
Il would like to have every member
of the board give his early eonsidera-
ton to plans for the 1915 Carnival"
said Mr.. Paris. There are two points
to be considered. Regarding the time
of the celebration, there is ques-
ton whether the Carnival should be
held before or after the opening Of the
San Francisco. fair. and whether We
should give due consideration to the
Lenten season. There is no reason
why we should necessarily adhere to
Washington's birthday around which
to weave the 1915 celebration. be.
lieve that the Carnival now has got.
ten beyond the bounds of being a
strict Washington's birthday affair.
President Paris urged the members
of the board to take early and careful
action in selecting a director.general
for next year.
B 81 have tried hard to prevail upon
James d. Dougherty to act again" he
said, and am still trying. The du-
ties OF the 1915 director VIII be less
irksome than this year The Carnival
now practically is financed and that
will serve to make the work OF the
director much lighter.
Ii there is a doubt in the minds OF
any person that friction exists be-
tween the Carnival company and the
Promotion Committee, we want to-
clear that doubt. he concluded Both
organizations are working toward q
common end-tbe promotion of the
best interests OF the territory. and we
are going to work in harmony with
the promotionists in carrying out this
endeavor." .syss ss5.
