Congress Awake

HOWafeeblc grow the shouts of those patriots
! in public life who up to a few months ago
were proclaiming from the housetops their anita
gonism to miiitarisml They have discovered that
throughout the whole land our citizens have quiet
ly but firmly determined that the United States
shall not continue to be at the mercy of any for
egn enemy. The courage of some congressman
who wanted to be peace-at-any-p price servants of
the people has sadly dcteriorated since they have
found how much they misjudged the patriotism
and the plain common sense OF the people. The
orator ambitious to provoke laugh could hardly
choose surer way than to tell any audience today
that "our country could raise million volunteers
tomorrow--and with them lick creation" 1t is
the business Of congressman to feel the pulse OF
the voters We could fill this whole issue of the
Journal with the proposals being put forward by
congressman for the increase of the military and
naval power of the country. What pity it is
that those supposed to be leaders in foreseeing the
country's needs have had to wait for the great
mass of the people to wake up to facts which con-
gressmen should have recognized years ago.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

more hogs are offered than there is de-
mand for. First class hogs as low as
lOhc. during the past week.
From the best information that the
Division can get good beef is being
sold to the butchers as low as Sc. a
pound and corn fed stock at l2c. The
grass fed stock which is being sent to
the Division as dressed beef is bring
ing from l0c to lie a pound. The best
price received for a good lot of range
fed stock last week was l0Eac.
Hides remain at the same price as
last week.
BY the Matsonia last Wednesday the
Division shipped 1880 cases of pineap-
pies, 80 lunches bananas, IS crates
Japanese taro and 5 crates water lilly
roots. Reports from the San Francisco
Branch Office of the Division regard.
ing pineappies are very encouraging,
and it is now felt that the growers will
get reasonable return for their fruit
and labor. During the first two or
three months, due to the excess of Cali,
foTnia fruits and indiscrlminate ship
ments Of prneapples from Hawaii, the
net returns to the growers were very
low. Now that the distribution has
been greatly increased and the cOndi,
tion of the market much improved, no
trouble in disposing of large quantities
is anticipated More orders for extra
large fruit are being received than can
be filled. The Division is now doing
a big express business in pineapples
out of San Francisco and local people
can, get excellent service by having ex
press shipments of fruit made through
the Division. All express shipments
are sent to the coast by freight and
after repacking are shipped. by express
the following day. The repacking OF
the fruit insures its arrival in good
condition and it is cheaper than send
ing the pineapPIes all the way from liza
wall by express.
The erection of the new MARKETING
Division building is progressing slowly
but it is expected that it will be ready
for use by the first of December.

PARCEL POST HERE
DOUBLES BUSINESS
DURING LAST YEAR
Honolulu Makes Fine Showing
Despite War and Generally
Disturbed Conditions

Parcel post business in Honolulu has
practically doubled in the last year
This in the face of war and generally
disturbed conditions in the commerce
of the world
This 100 per cent increase is shown
in semi-annuaI report just prepared
by Postmaster Young. The report is
based on the parcel post business of
the period from October to October Is.
While representing only fifteen days
business, these, figures with those Of
a like period in the spring-April
to April l5-are used by the postoffice
department at Washington to estimate
the growth or decline in this branch
of the service.
If the parcel post business has
doubled on the mainland, as it has
here, postofiice officials believe the
dream of Postmaster General BurlesOn
may yet become true. 1t is the hope
Of the postmaster general to wipe out
the big annual deficit by the parcel
post.
The report of Postmaster Young
shows the following: October | to l5,
total number of parcels mailed at of
flee, 1888; total postage, $l62l.4O;
total weight, 37,474; total number Of
parcels mailed and received, 1926.
April to Is, total parcels mailed here,
9344; total postage, $4,000; total
weight, 1925; total number of par
cells mailed and received, 1854. In,
crease for six months, parcels mailed,
3Ol9; postage, $460.4l; weight, ll,lS9j
parcels mailed and received, 2549.
For the October l-l5 period of last
year the figures are: Total number of
parcels mailed at Office, 1891; increase,
1902; postage, $645.l9; increase, 1918
2l; weight, 15,703; increase, 2l,77l.
Total number of packages mailed and
received, 8007; increase, 1926.
Increases also are shown in two other
features of the service for the last
six months. For the fifteen days in
October 643 parcels were insured
against 452 during the ffteen'day pc
Rod of April. The October fees amount,
ed to $36.S7, against $24.4O in April.
Sixty. nine cod. parcels went through
the Office in October against ffty-four
in April. Thus 1871 more parcels have
been insured, representing an increase
in fees of $l2.47, and fifteen more
cod. parcels have been mailed or re-

Dreadful as the war is flashes of humor relieve
the gloom. II. c. Wells of London thinks that
the Germans will speedily be brought to their
knees by England blockade of cotton, article
necessary in the manufacture of powder. To this
the Fatherland replies that Mr. Wells underesti-
mates German ingenuity; that with 100000 or
Russian prisoners in their possession all the
Germans will have to do to obtain substitute
for cotton will be to shave the whiskers off their
Russian prisoners with continually renewing
supply in prospect.

Island eggs are scarcer than ever this
week. The Wholesale price is still 6Oc
a dozen but come dealers are retailing
them as high as 75c.' dozen.
In order that the Division and the
poultry and egg producers on Oahu
may come to some understanding as to
the price of eggs and poultry, there
will be a meeting held at the office of
the Superintendent Of the Marketing
Division next Friday, October Goth, at
goo p. III. All poultrymen who are
interested in the selling of their pro
ducts should be present. At this meet
ing will be discussed the methods of
grading and the relative prices of each
grade. ,.S..,.. ....s.. .
Muscoyy ducks are very plentiful
and in order to introduce this fowl as

fattened ducks at 25e. a pound and
make deliveries within the city limits.
For all those who are not familiar with
the young Muscovy duck as a table
bird we may say that it is without
doubt the best poultry to be had in
Honolulu today. Don = miss this chance
to get something good to eat cheap.
Cabbage and sweet corn in great de
mand at good prices. Hawaiian field
corn is still low. 1t is reported by the
feed dealers that they can get small
dried corn from Seattle, landed in Hon
olulu for $4,000, and that within a
short time Manchurian corn will arrive
at less tran $4,000. The Manchurian
corn is very small. The local dealers
state that they are willing to pay the
same price for Island corn as they pay
for imported corn.
The peanut MAI ket is still overloaded
and it is very difficult to sell Island
peanuts at the present time.
Due to the fact that California
grapes are SO plentiful and cheap, Is
land grapes have dropped to as low as

Getting a Ne,U Name

NF late there seems to be brisk revival Of
~ the fashion of appealing to the courts for a
new name Several cases in New York and BOs-
ton have attracted attention because of pecularl-
ties, and there has been increase in the number
of applicants who wish minor changes made for
good reasons. A Brooklyn cOnfectioner named
He'll recently told the court his name hurt his
business 1t attracted attention, but not the kind
that increases custom. He asked to have his name
changed to "EI" and the court granted the re-
quest. How his family ever came by such name
is probably a mystery that will never be solved,
but il may be guessed that the family came from a
country where language is spoken in WHICH

would be entirely proper.
In Boston, however, family asked the court
to permit it to change its for very different

Mccall, graduate of Dartmouth, biog-
rapher of Thaddeus Stevens and
Thomas B.. Reed, a congressman of
eminence for ten years, he is a worthy
example of the best type Of New

result of the elections is the return to
Congress of the republican William S.

New York, who displaces a democrat.
Mr.. Bennett is a young man of force and
ability, whom it may be well to watch.
Still another is the reelection of

WOLCOTT STEWART.

In a graceful introduction of Governor
Stewart at a political meeting last yt ar
Judge Charles |. Button referred to him
as 1.-The first citizen of M~iddlebury,
For over fifty years Governor Stewart
occupied that position. The oldest resi-
dent will scarcely remember a time
when Governor Stewart did not occupy
a place of commanding influence in our
town ana county, surpassed by none
among us. He held his place with per-
feet ease, by the sheer merit of his
force of character and mind. He never
sought a public office in his life. Ver-
mont had no gifts too great for him,
but he never wrote a letter to ask sup
port nor solicited a single friend for as
~sistance. He was a man from whom
power and influence emanated without
his effort. In the councils of the State
and the nation he moved quietly and
without hurry, securing by the clear
ness and force of his judgment what
others would have achieved only by the
greatest effort. In the long succession
of truly great men of Vermont he held
a unique and honorable place. He was
naturally conservative, a lover of
the fine old ways and the rare old dignity
of the simpler life of the past. To be
admitted to his intimate friendship and
to hear him talk before the fire of the
great men he had known and the great
scenes he had witnessed was a high
privilege. Genial and kindly, fond of
humor, keen in wit, sharp as a sword in
analysis of men and movements, never
fooled for an instant by any species of
-demagoguery, he was one of the men
who have brought honor upon Vermont
for her strong and sterling manhood.
Governor Stewart loved this village,
more than most of us knew. He
travelled widely and his duties kept him
in other places for considerable periods,
but here was his heart and hither he re-
turned, to his home beneath the elm
trees, and it was a kind providence
which granted him a peaceful passing,
after a full score more than the allotted
span, brave, cheerful, and his great
mind still clear, surrounded by those
whose first care vas to minister to his
happiness to the last.
