JAPAN and The EXPOSITION

Japans participation in the San Francisco
exposition now dependS.on tn" possibility Of a
change in sentiment amog the businessmen of
the empire, according to frank admissions in the
Toxic papers The admissions are probably in
sprch by the government, which seems anxious
to see Nippon represented at San Francisco in
1915.
The Toxic papers declare that since the Cali
fOrnia alien land ownership controversy last
year, japanese businessmen and manufacturers
have undergone a change Of heart and there
seems now no hope of .persuading them to send
exhibits The government believes that if Japan
is not represented, it will have to pay to the OK
position management about 100000 yen for
ground specially allotted to Japan for it's exhib-
it. The japanese government, it is noted, was
the first to express an intention of participating
in the exposition and voted more than a million
yen for the purpose. T.
The tone of the japanese press is plainly pes:
smstic on this subject and unless by treaty of
some kind the two nations find way Of getting
around the barrier of the California law, public
sentiment in Japan is likely to prevent further
steps to exhibit at San Francisco. At any rate,
the chances of private exhibits are slight.

ESTABLISHING THE SMALL FARMER

Hawaii's land problems are not more the
problems Of cutting up the large tracts into small
holdings so that the ''Iittle fellow" may have his
acre or so than the problems of guaranteeing to
the "1ittle fellow" thathe will have fair chance
To establish himself on that acre or SO.
Last year Dr. Victor S. Clark then territorial
commissioner of immigration and statistics,
strongly urged Legislation that would establish
in Hawaii a system of horticultural credits. The
bill never had chance of passing the Legislature,
partly because it's need was not then apparent,
partly because it presented itself in the light of
a novel and e-too-practical experiment. =.
During the summer of 1913 a commission
from the United States went abroad to study the
subject of rural or agricultural credits and the
results of its mission are becoming apparent. A
few days ago Senator Borah introduced bill
asking national legislation to aid the farming in
terests of the country. A Washington dispatch
says: sE.. 45<tii# ~
"Cooperation among the farmers, instead of
competition that the farmer may receive the
whole of the consumers dollar for his product,
instead of 80 to As per cent, as is now the case,
is the aim of a bill introduced by Senator Borah
to create an Agricultural Capital or clearing.
house, to be run by the farmers, under govern
ment charter or subsidy.
'sThe bill would furnish machinery for seien-
tific marketing and Standardization of farm
products under direction of a countrywide or
ganization of producers, irrespective Of an agri,
cultural convention" Xii Z Il.
Hawaii should take up this matter of agri.
cultural credits together with that of homestead.

On the land unless he is certain of staying there
long enough to farm it?

AVIATION's DEATH TOLL

Progress in aviation has not brought greater
safety, according to figures recently published
by Popular Mechanics. The year 1913 showed a
considerable increase in the number of deaths
due to aeroplane accidents. Many more airmen
than ever before made flights during the year;
many thousand more miles were covered. As
agaimt 40 aviation fatalities in 1912, there were
1872 in 1918 In all the years before 1912, since
the Wrights made the first public flights in a
heavier-than-air machine, there had been but ia
deaths-1 in 1908, in 1909, 80 in 1910, and II
in 1911
Twenty-six of the deaths of 1913 occurred in
theU United States, Is in Great Britain, 81 in Ger
hanSs 81, in France and SO in various other coun-
triesS Twelve airmen fell into the water and
were drowned, 157 were killed by the impact of
falling to earth, 8 were burned to death and IA
met death in various other ways, 9 of these being
spectators who were killed while watching the
airmen. One hundred and forty-six of those
killed were plotting their machines at the time,
Is were mechanicians and % were passengers
September produced the longest list of cas-
ualties, % fatal accidents occurring in that
month There were % in April and an equal
number in July, while December was the safest
month, with but 6 deaths.
Besides the 1872 fatalities due to aeroplane ac-
cidents, so persons lost their lives in 1913
through accidents to airships or dirigbe bal
looms. Twenty-eight were killed on October II,
when the Zeppelin az ." exploded over johann
nisthal; Is died when the "L T. was wrecked in
the North Sea, Sept 8; 5 French acronauts were
killed by the wrecking of balloon on April II,
and > German soldiers were dropped from a
Zeppelin that broke away from it's moorings on
Sept. 10.

WHAT'S THE NATTER WITH THE
ROADS

Honolulu, T. H., Jan. 81.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir have been reading with
great interest the various articles in
your columns concerning good roads
and have, during my comparatively
short residence in Honolulu. had Oc-
CasiOn to notice how the road-Work is
done If the people ofethis city would
watch a road-gang for ten minutes
they would soon find out why the SUI
pervisors can't find enough money TO
do the work. 49,
On Kalakaua avenue this morning
there were fourteen men at work
with pick and shovel. l watched
them for quite little time. 1t seems
unbelievable, but most of that time at
least eight OF the men were idle and
often the whole gang would stop to
rest and joke. The average of work
done continuously was not 30 per
cent. And what Iazytswork it was!
No energy, no attempt 10 get anything
done. Two men with blunt shovels
were actually trying in the most fool
ish manner possible to spade up the
hard macadam covering. The most
stupid thing was that the pick men
were not going ahead of the shovel
men, loosening the paving and soil.
The pick men were working without
any system and the shovel men with
even less. If there was a boss Of the
gang, he was not in evidence, for he
never gave any orders! 1t was early
in the morning. yet the men rested
at least half of the time. One man l
watched for ten minutes actually did
not carry away a spadeful' of earth.
He would put his spade on the
ground, stick it a half-inch or so into
the soil, take it out, walk along to
another spot and repeat the opera
ton.
After watching this gang any resi-
dent will know what is the main thing
the matter with Honolplu's roads. 1t
must cost the city at least three
times as much for a given piece of
public work as a private individual.
Il might add that one laborer who
had evidently over-exerted himself
laid his shovel down Sthe road and
proceeded to a nearby tree, against
which he leaned himself with every
appearance of permanently and prob
ably is there now.

RUMORs IN THE PHILIPPINES

Manila folks are all excited about rumor
that Governors general Burton Harrison is to re-
turn to the United States in April land that
Frank W. Carpenter, recently made first civil
goyrnor of Moro province, is to succeed him.
The Manila Cablenews- American says:
sFor ten days or more the runlor has been
prevalent in and about Manila that the new
governor general, Francis Burton Harrison, and
Mr.. Bonsal his private secretary, who is also
first assistant executive secretary of the New
Era, will not remain long in the islands, but that
on or about the first of April they would both
return to the United States s~@. IL
S'The reasons for this surmise have been many
and varied Principal and chief among them has
been the one which declared that Mr. Harrison
had been sent out here by the president to inau
gurate the scheme of Filipino control of govern
mental affairs and that then, his mission accom-
plished, he was to return to the United States
and receive an important post either in the dip
lomatic corps or 60 to the United States senate.
The rumor is probably groundless. Certainly
only two good reasons could inspire such action
on the part of President Wilson. Either the gov
norgeneral has bungled things very badly in
his few short months in office, or the president
has determined On an entirely new line of policy
for which he does not believe Harrison is fitted
Neither seems to be a likelihood Harrison is
plainly carrying out Wilson's well-defined plans
and those plans are not likely to Exchanged in a
moment.
IS. The true explanation of the rumOr probably
is that it is inspired by opponents of Harrison,
of which Manila holds not a few.
