Col, George Harvey, the interesting and dy-

solution for the Mexican problem that. he con.
Iides to the world in d recent issue. Says
the Colonel who is not altogether an adnirer
Of Mr.. Wilson: &

after the event. Probably President Wilson
himself now realizes that it, would have been
better to accord recognition to the de fdcto GOV:
eminent, in compliance with the unanimous rec
ommendation of the diplomatic corps in Mexico,
upon the grounds set forth by Mr.. Asquith. But
having once assumed a wider responsibility by
attempting to dictate to the dictator, in pursu-
ance of a policy which was ethical rather than
practical, he was forbidden by regard for the ma
tons dignity, no less than by his own obduracy,
to reeede from the position which he had taken.
But the policy which the president sincerely
believed to be the Risest has failed. Why could

IN DEFENSE OF THE coAsTWIsE
LAWS. x -s----..

Editor Honolulu StarBulletin,
Sir: In your issue of January 9
there is a communication signed x.
Y. H.. who has taken upon himself
or helgelf-the same selfimposed
duty that has been shouldered by
several others in these islands, that
of speaking or writing their ideas and
stating that they represent the
wishes or ideas of the rest of us.
For my part, wish these people
would speak for themselves alone.
They dent know any more about
what / think or want as regards pub
lie matters than twin baby carriage
does. 4
K. V. q. seems to think that the
people of this territory are twisting
themselves into double bow knots be-
cause of the coastwise law that con-
tributes its share toward keeping the
United States the United States
the Mecca of all the peoples of the
world ~.
: Perhaps x. Y. Q. would prefer to
see a couple of hundred or so hum
CRY ocean tramps hanging around
this port watching like a lot of yul-.
lures for a clance to pick up job,
rather than the present condition of
affairs where the natives and others
are making a respectable living at
steVedoring. There are 81 ocean
steamships in and out of Honolulu
this month. On this number % are
American craft protected by the
coastwise law. Granting that this
terrible (ql law was suspended. two
of the four foreign steamships touch
ing here would not reduce their
charges either for passenger or.
freight The remaining two foreign
steamships Japanese boatsl would
cut a sorry figure against the Ameri-.
can vessels. That being the case it
would bring about condition Of af-
fairs that obtains around all foreign
ports Lowest of wages for all con-
cerned, and lot Of idle ships hang
ing about ready to ponnce on the

From the tone OF X. Y. rs letter
/ should judge that he belongs to a
class that would like to reduce wages,

GOOD RUA0s AND UNCLE SAN

2 ~
Considerable space is devoted to good roads
in the annual report of the secretary of agricuE
ture OF particular interest to Hawaii, in view
of the commission named at the Civic Conyen-
ton here some months ago, is the relation be-
tween the federal and local government dis
cussed in the report.
For 20 years, it is stated, there has been a
steady growth in the goodroads movement, so
that today about thirty -four states have high
way commissions or some other form of highway
agency. State appropriations for roadwork
have increased from two million ten years ago
to forty three million in 1912.
The relation of the federal government to
road construction and road management is
pointed out. The federal government should
take the lead in inyestigational and experiment.
al work and should develop principles of cooper
alton with the states in matters of educational
and demonstrational work 1t seems desirable
that the federal government should deal with
the state as the lowest unit, through an expert
highway commission as its agency. This policy
would eliminate the difficulty of the federal
governments determining local issues as we'll as
the danger of undue centralized federal control
III OIutT 10 pOlICy u prevent
undue inroads on the federal treasury, federal
aid, whenever extended for construction and
maintenance, should be furnished On condition
that the states provide an appropriation at least
double that voted by the federal government.
This would furnish an automatic check.
The plan should provide for maintenance as,
well as construction, in order to prevent the
possibility of the construction of roads many of
which may wear out before the bonds placed
upon them are paid. The secretary raises the
question as to what roads should be improved.
He says that the roads of greatest economic and
social Importance are those over which the prod
ucts of the farm can be taken to the nearest rail
way station and which minister to the other so
cial and economic needs of the community. 1t
is pointed out that no federal funds should be
expended on any project until a scheme of road
construction and maintenance within a state has
been developed and agreed upon by the proper
representatives of the state and of the federal GOV
eminent.

Some one asked me If spoke French,

they searched my trunk and found some
photographs Of German warships and
forts that had taken during a pleasure
trip. I was Immediately thrown into Jail

One afternoon he stood in the door
Of hig office and saw a boy drive up in
Il pony cart and enter the store. and
after a stay OF a few minutes come out
again and drive away IN hurry. The
doctor sauntered across and the druggist
hailed him.
The Hon. Jordon Sweet is having a
bad turn with malaria and is trying to
break II up with quinine."
Hope he'll fail and have to call me. -
was the laughing reply.
While the druggist had a call TO wait
on customer the doctor lounged back
to the prescription counter. and hardly
a minute had passed before he made a
discovery and called TO the druggist.
Get rid OF your customer as soon as
you can and then come back here"
What is it,"
Has Mr.. Sweet teIephone?'
Yes; but it's out Of order just now.
Why?''
You put up morphine in place OF quI-
nine"

Don't lose your head. That boy must

Meanwhile, Bob Sweet was driving
| homeward. He was letting the pony
jog along while he read a dime novel OF
the boy-hero sort. He had read many
others before. and had come to feel that
he would be a hero II he had half a
| chance. A boy-hero should go armed
He never can tell what minute a bur
Clar is going to hover over him at
night, or a highwayman hold him up
by day. Therefore, young Bob had
crIbbed his fathers rusty old revolver
and loaded it. and even IL he was only
going out TO feed the chickens 1t reposed
in a hind pocket
II was with him as he drove to
town that day after the quinine, and
as he waited in the store he thought
how easy II would be to hold up the
druggist for a few thousand dollars
and make a safe getaway. One OF
| the reasons that restrained him was
that he had seen a cross-eyed boy just
as he entered the store. and he had
read that such an untoward inclden
would smash a boy-hero's luck all 10
squash.
Bob didn't look back after starting.
but after a mile or two the sounds OF
Falloping horse aroused him. II
was 4 man in a buggy. and the man
held up a hand for him to stop.
Did he stop? He didn't. He was up &c
| that little game Of highway robbery. He
put the whip on tn pony and got out his
gun. The pursuer called and called. but
was not needed. II was when the house
was only few rods away that the doctor
drove in front OF the pony and brought
him TO a stop and cried out
Hey. boy, I want to speak to you q
minute
Il know your little game and you keep
on
II just want that package you got al
the drugstore. Theirs a mistake about II. -
You can't have il! I'll defend IT with

And Gon't you try any tricks. I'm a

WILL LEAVES $2O,3OO,
BUT WHO'S TO GET IT?
Washington Attorney, with Cash on
His Hands. Appeals to District SUI
preme Court to Decide for Him.
NO HEIRS CAN BE LOCATED

Harley Cooper. executor OF the last
will Of John NJ. McNabb, Of this city.
who died here February 26. 1871. is con-
fronted with a conundrum as to what
disposition should be made Of $4,000 cash
left In his hands from the estate Yes
terday, through Attorney @. Perry Nc
Glue, he asked the District Supreme
Court TO construe certain provisions OF
the will. which was probated on May a.
1911.
At the time OF his death the testator
owned real estate here velued at $4,000
His entire estate was sold to pay legacies.
Among these was one OF $4,000 to the
another OF equal amount to the "Metho-
dist Episcopal Church of McNabb.' and
still another OF 500 to the Friends
Grave Yard Of McNabb.''
1t appears from the petition filed yes
terday that at the time OF the. death Of
Mr.. McNabb there was no association or
corporation in existence legally compe-
tent to take any OF these legacies. Since
then the first has been claimed by
School District, No. 20, of Putnam Coun-
ty. ILL.," the second by the 'McNabb
Methodist Episcopal Church." and the
third by the Clear Creek Monthly Meet
ing of the Society of Friends OF McNabb. I"
The executor evidently Is OF the Opin-
ion that under the circumstances these
three legacies should lapse, but there Is
no residuary- clause in the will, so the
question is what is to be done with the
81, 800?
II there are any heirs IL will go to
them, but thus far the executor says he
has been unable to locate any. The only
relatives Of whom any trace was found
were two aunts, both of whom have been
dead many years.
The petition for construction is re-
markable In still another aspect: Sew
enty-two persons, firms and corporations
are named as defendants, who are scat
tered over nine States. Missouri, Wiscon-
sin. Idaho. Kansas. Pennsylvania, Cali
fornia, Iowa, Maryland and Oregon. The
court is informed that among these are
two churches and the one public school
district mentioned, and is asked to bring
all of them into court either in person
or by attorney in order that all possible
interests and claims may be finally ad-
tusted In the one decree.
The testatOr was born in McNabb, Ill.
In fact that town was named after his
family. He came to Washington many
years ago and devoted years to operations
in. real estate. He never married.
