That is the question asked by Herbert n.

He answers the question as follows:
As i have been residing in London since
the beginning of the war, have been hearing
this question asked on all sides. have never
heard any satisfactory answer No one seems
to know.
Why are the American factories not run

opening up new territories and getting ready
for the millions of immigrants who have al
ready made up their minds to leave Europe as
soon as the war is overt
"Why are there not fifty American drum

Why have advertisers become cutters, just

FACTS THAT CONVINCE.

Members Of the legislature appreciate, and
reliable indications are that the territory ap-
preciates, the spirit in which Governor Pink
ham has approached the legislature of 1919.
He has welcomed its aid, its advice, its CO.
operation; he has relied upon its intelligence
and its fair-mindedness in the solution of COM
mon problems.
In this spirit he submitted his special mes
sage Of yesterday upon the agricultural in
duStry conditions of Hawaii. He laid before
the members of senate and house the reports
submitted to him from authoritative sources,
upon agriculture, public lands and the public
debt. These reports point out that cane sugar
and pineapples furnish the only staple crops
and that there is no promise of any other crop
developing into staple in these islands. The
report also points out5the comparatively small
amount of public lands available for agricul-
ture in any event Or for sale if the territory
wished to make cash realization. On the
financial side, the figures quoted in the COVER
nor's message show that "should the remain
der of our public lands be "sold it is doubtful
If net amount equal to one-haf our public
debt would be secured applicable thereto
These facts have been put before the legis-
lature clearly and copcisely,s Criticism is made
that these reports contain nothing that every
one has not known in a general way for long
time'f
That's the trouble--everyone seems to have
known about the situation Gin a general way"
but not in the concrete, definite sharp edged
way necessary to bring the territory's public
land and diversified agriculture situation home
to the people of this territory and through them
to the people of the rest of the Union.
The governor has pointed out that the fed
eral government has two branches which may
be used for investigating the vital problems of
the territory-the Department Of Commerce,
and the newly created federal Trade Commits
sion. His message refers to the legislature
the question of whether such an investigation
should be requested of the federal government.
We have yet to hear of "a reason why an ex
pert, thorough, impartial and minded
Investigation should not be made. Hawaii has
nothing to conceal, nothing to hide-very much
to impress upon the national government.
Free sugar will smash the main industry of
these islands and this message shows that there
Is no possibility of any other industry taking
its place. Hawaii need not expect these reports
of themselves to revers0the attitude of Dem
ocratic administration and block the operation
of the free-sugar clause in the tariff bill on
May 1, 1916, but if the facts are laid before
the president and the Congress, it must fix
attention on Hawaii s just cause.
The legislature will doubtless give immediate
and full consideration to the governors implied
suggestion. r.

The good roads bill affords fine example of
a meritorious measure which failed to receive
the consideration it deserved in the Legislature
because it made late appearance lnasmuch
as the bill was proposed at the Civic conven-
ton on Maui many months ago, it's failure to
make prompt appearance in the Legislature
when the session opened should be explained if
it's advocates resent the emphatic manner in
which the senate disposed of it.

Suspension of the coastwise shipping law to
allow foreign steamship companies to enter the
passenger carrying business between Hawaii
and the coast is apt to prove boomerang. If
it should run the American lines out of bust

real fight to be made is fight for the American
trans.Pacifc lines not for the foreign compan-
les. Hawaii will benefit in the end.

"chiropractics" Is from the Greek
"chiros" meaning hand and practices"
meaning manipulation ! maintain that
it comes from the ancient Egyptian.

well-known that without some such
