The Canal Slides

n SIDE from the temporary Inconvenience
"A caused to commerce by the slides of earth
and rock into the Panama Canal, they may be
regarded, perhaps, as benefit, says the San Diego
Union. 1t was clearly understood by engineers
when the waterway opened to shipping that
slides would occur In fact, they were freely pre-
dcted. Their extent, however, could not be fore
told-that was purely matter of guess-work. OBJ
viously if there are to be slides, the sooner they
come the better. 1t is not supposed that they will
continue forever There must be a limit to the
quantity of earth and rock to be displaced by gray
ity. Once all has fallen and been cleared away
the canal will always be available for vessels OF
course it could be wished that traffic through the
waterway should not be even temporarily inter
rupted, as at present. But the inconvenience now
caused is small matter compared with that which
might result should the slides occur, hereafter at
time when the navy had occasion to use the canal

Opportunity Passes

W. HEN the war broke out when the German
w merchant feet was driven from the seas
and the British curtailed and crippled Americans
did not fail to see the chance offered then to re-
gain the supremacy of the oceancarrying bust
ness. \ great campaign was carried on to bring
back to life that mighty American merchant ma
rne, once a reality, but for many years now
shadowy ghost.
We worked and reasoned, yet points out the
Los Angeles Times, the rehabilitation of our ocean
carrying trade, if it has progressed at all, has
progressed like crab-backward. For this the
Democratic administration is wholly to blame.
Their abortive ship purchase bill discouraged pr-
vate enterprise and gave private ship owners no
promise of fair return.
The iniquitous seamen's bill has given the coup
de grace to the hopes and ambitions of patriotic
Americans who believed that at last assured
future was dawnng for American shipping.
The little Jack Horner of the nations is Japan.
He puts in his thumb and he pulls out plum,
and the last plum is big and juicy one; it looks
like the commercial control of the Pacific Ocean.
Quite bon bouche for the bright-eyed little fell
low sitting in his corner in the entrance hall of
the House Oriental.
You can't blame him for taking what Uncle Sam
refused to pick up when opportunity dropped it at
his feet He wanted to exert himself, but he was
NlN' with legislative JULIUS illPOSSh ny
administration of landsmen.
Japan, being an island kingdom, understanding
the ways of sailormen, uses subsidy instead of
seamcns bill and goes after the opportunity
Uncle Sam neglected.
The Japanese are quite frank about their pro-
gram They notice how German and British ship
ping are tied up and how Uncle Sam is apparently
retiring from business on the Pacific Their ship
pers even crcise themselves for receiving sub
sides when they can grab all in sight without
them. They going after the Pacific Ocean
while the going's good, and they want to be in
position to retain what they get when the race be
comes more strenuous.
If some day the sons Of Nippon control all trade
routes to the Far East the blame will not rest
with American ship owners with American
business men, but with the Democratic lawmak-
ers who snatched from us the opportunity and
handed it over to the Japanese, a..s. @

Richard Ramos, Filipino

ID ICHARD RAMOS Filipino pleaded guilty to
IN taking sixty dollars OF anOther's money.
Yesterday he sentenced to pay fine Of $500
and to spend week in Jail. He had been
brought back to the Territory from San Francisco.
If Ramos had secured $4,000 through fraud, on
the same ratio Of punishment he would have been
entitled to a fine of $82, 200 and eight years and
twenty seven days in Jail.
Or, if he had stolen $4,000 from his employees,
carefully plotting to place the blame upon innocent
persons he would have been fined $3l 600 and
sentenced to spend three years and eleven days
in jail.
OF course, if Ramos were a white man, with
friends, some different sentence might
have been imposed, but hardly suppose so.

nor social position, .,.. s@Es#

Is his the A11s,Der?

wv HATean Honolulu do for the soldiers Is
w question some years old, to which the
answer has not yet been given, unless the sugges-
ton advanced by the visiting representatives of
the Army and Navy Y. M. c. A. is it. Those who
have listened to J. S. Tichenor the international
secretary Of this branch of Y. M: c. A. work are
about convinced that it is. He speaks as an au-
shortly, who has watched the practical working
out of the theories and who comes to Honolulu
with definite ideas to present. He recommends
that one of the things to be done to make Homo
lulu more satisfactory place for the enlisted men
of Uncle Sans land and forces is to provide
general clubhouse in Honolulu, where the men
may make their headquarters and TO establish
branches at thefvarous posts, all to be conducted
by trained Y. M. c. A. workers.
Mr. Tichenor answers all the objections that are
Immediately raised by showing that elsewhere
such institutions have stood every test and have
emphatically made good.
The institutions such Mr.. Tichenor advises
would be separate and distinct from the Honolulu
Y. NJ. c. A., under independent management and
superintendent by distinct branch OF the general
work. The Service branch Of the Y. M. c. A. is
national branch by itself, with no more connec-
ton with the regular Honolulu branch than the
local Army has with the local Navy. The Army
and Navy Y. NJ. c. A. proposed, therefore, would
be wholly by itself far as management goes,
affiliated with the town Y. NJ. c. AS solely through
mutual interests and joint parentage. If Homo
lulu should decide to go further along the line
suggested by Mr. Tchenor it is essential that this
be kept in mind
While the matter, too, is directly local in very
many ways, it has likewise its large national side,
and it is reasonable to suppose that should this
community feel its way clear to assume fair
share of the burden of establishment and main
tenance of central Army and Navy Y. M. c. A.
in Honolulu, with branches at the out Of town
army posts and at Pearl Harbor, material assist
ance would come from the mainland Oahu will
contain the greatest number of soldiers to be found
in any one locality under the Flag, while Pearl
Harbor is destined to be the greatest naval base
of the Pacific lit is reasonable to take for grant
ed then, that there will be a national interest in
and some large measure of national support for
the suggested army and navy work here.
1t is necessary to bear in mind likewise, that in
the proposal to establish these institutions for the
men Of the Service there is idea OF patronizlng
them, any more than the establishment of the local
Y. M. c. A. is patronizing to the young townsmen
who frequent it by the hundreds. II the Army
and Navy Y. NJ, c. A. is established it will be con-
selves under the supervision of general board of
officers and civilians, while the SUPPLEMENTARY
will be, naturally, of the trained men of the Inter
| national Army and Navy Branch of the institution

The Value of Beauty

"A VERY practical writer in popular maya
"A zine recently condemned the American Gus
tom OF planting purely ornamental trees and
shrubs. S-Ich things, he contended, performed
no useful work, and ought to be discarded The
redbud and Towering almond should give place
to cherry and peach trees, and roses and splreas,
presumably, should make way for currants and
gooseberres Only thus could we have garden
scheme worthy of practical people.
There are elements of truth in such doctrine,
says the Chicago Journal Too many people fail
to recognize the beauty inherent in plants, trees
and shrubs cultivated for food-in a cherry or
peach orchard in field of bossoming clover or
ripening wheat. But the central idea of this
practical creature is false altogether, for he fails
to recognize that beauty is worth while in and
OF itself, and needs no endorsement from either
stomach pocketbook.
Mohammed knew what he was about when he
uttered his famous advice: "He that hath two
loaves of bread let him sell one, and buy
cissus; for bread is food only for the body, but
narcissus is food for the soul"

LOvBL[ AUDIT Ct
C|Il'S RECORDS IS
PUSHED On RAPIDLY
IN SPITE OF SLIGHT HITCH THE
WORK PROCEEDS WITH
DISPATCH.
FRIERSOh WILL FINISH SOON
Probably Be Ready With Answers TO
Taxpayers by Thursday-CameroR
10 Also Looking Into the Books
and Vouchers.

In spite of slight hitch just after
noon on Monday the work of double
auditing of the books of the city of
Columbia is proceeding with dispatch
and without any sort of conflict. Au-
ditor Smith, representing Mr.. Came
ron, is at work for the committee Of
taxpayers, while Auditor Frierson,
representing the board of mayor and
aldermen, is likewise going over the
books, bills and records.
Just afternoon on Monday and after
the work of the audit had commenc-
ed Mr.. Frierson interposed an objec,
ton to the Cameron audit until after
he had completed his work. He said
that he would be through by Thurs
day and that it would seriously ham
per and embarrass him if another lot
of auditors were at work on the books
at the same time.
When these facts were presented to
him by the committee of taxpayers
Mayor Dedman promptly affected an
arrangement whereby both audits
could be continued without interfer-
ing with each other Judge Erwin,
the veteran recorder, whose books
are undergoing a most searching and
critical scrutiny, is as smiling and
agreeable and evidently as much
pleased with affairs as though he had
a double audit with coffee and toast
/ for breakfast every morning. He is
rendering all possible service to the
representative of the taxpayers in
making the audit speedy and COM
plete.
Mr.. Cameron asked Judge Erwin
how far back the records Of the Office
went and the recorder promptly re-
Piled ITO the time when Scott's
cavalry burned the bridge" This
amused the eminent auditor very
much. All of the books, papers, bills.
vouchers, checks and other fiscal re-
cords of the city are said to be alb.

audit will be finished on Thursday
