NEEDED DEvELopMErr FOR KAUAI.

Kauai is giving the heartiest kind of indorse
ment to the proposal of railroad connection fol
the Kappa homestead lands, news of which
was published last week in this paper. The
. Garden Island says editorially:
I'VE are in favor of the resolution passed
by the Chamber of Commerce last Thursda,
in regard to railroad connection with the hotne
stead lands above and near Kapaa. AS we see
il, the proposal, if carried out will benefit all
of the interests directly concerned and will
hurt nobody. In case like that we say, ge

steaders on these important tracts would, in a
very short time, be seriously hampered in their
efforts. Spme--perhaps many would give up
entirely in the face of the many discourag-
ihents and probably none will be able to make
money
Ell Railroad facilities, such as are proposed
ii the resolutions, would give the homestead
ets ready access to three sugar mills and place
them in position to make satisfactory contracts
with. two sugar companies for the handling Of
their cane, And if q cannery is put in land

assurance Of Mr.. Albert Horner that capnery

a line connecting the Koioa railway with that

harbor. The Koloa and Lihue railway tracks
now approach within about enc mile of each
other, and only tunnel through the hills
would be necessary to connect them up.
And that would be the substantial begin
ming of the belt railroad for this island, which
must come sooner or later.

vention would never have been real
lied.

A NEW TONE FOR KUHIo.


Delegate Kuhio's speech in the Fourth dis
trict Republican rally Saturday night was dis
tinctIy propitiatory in tone. Though maintain
ing that he was ignored in Washington by the
Hawaiian delegate sent to work for the protec-
ton of sugar, he admitted that perhaps he him
self has made mistakes, Now he asks that the
differences of the past be forgotten and every
body get together for the future.
The delegate complains that there is per-
sonal reason for opposition to him. In some
instances this is doubtless true In most it is
not true. Charles A. Rice was politically a
very much weaker candidate. He was only
fairly we'll known on Oahu and even less on
Maui and Hawaii The argument that made
Rice possibility was the argument that the
delegate $ efficiency in Washington was being
impaired because he did not stay on the job
This argument gave Rice nearly 1000 votes
That is not personal objection to the delegate.
When the delegate complains that the Star
Bulletin opposed him at the primaries for per;
sonaf reasons, he is showing strange inability
to grasp the situation. But it is evident that
he realizes now the necessity of some vigorous
work for Hawaii in the future. He does not
maintain an attitude of antagonism to the BUSH
ness interests of Hawaii. He asks that Hawaii
pull together "I
The delegates has it in his power to convince
all Hawaii that he means what he says.
The fact that two different war relief funds
are being collected here has occasioned consid-j

into the circumstances that preceded
