CHINESE HERE SKEPTlCAL

Chinese of the Nationalist party in
Honolulu still doubted yesterday that
President Yuan Shih-kai intends to re
sist the japanese demands. They be-
lieve that he is running q monumental
game of bluff, in the hope of forcing
Japan to deliver an ultimatum and go
through all the motions of making war,
in order that when he finally complies,
at, the last moment, he may say to the
Chinese nation: 81 could do nothing
else. We are not strong enough to re-
sist.'
Such manuever, they assert, is fore
doomed to failure. 1t will not deceive
the Chinese nation, the Natiousiists be-
heve, and they say a revolution is Ger
tian If it is attempted.
Conservative Chinese read the news
with deep concern and say little. Their
last hope is that intervention by the
Powers may head Japan Off.

The God Of the Machine

WELL meaning individuals who are old
w enough to know better sometimes ask why
Hawaii insists on growing sugar cane. "Why
don't you hunt around and find something to sub
stitute for Gamer" Well, why should we?
Hawaii ought to have more industries and will
have as time goes ON, but give us time 1t takes
fifteen or twenty years to establish industry
Growing an industry is good deal like raising
boy. No expects his son to begin shaving
before he is sixteen at least Hawaii has good
sized family of boys growing up, all the way from
the toddlers to the ones that are busiy engaged
in raising their first moustache None of them
are old enough or wise, or strong enough to take
on their shoulders the full burden of maintaining
this American commonwealth. Why kill the in
dustry that has made this Territory what it is,
just for the fun of seeing how the younger mem
bers of the family manage the bread and butter
problem?
Hawaii asks and welcomes constructive crti-
cism. We are, all in ALL rather we'll pleased with
ourselves and what we have done with the means
and the opportunities given us But to answer the
question why didn't we grow beans, or potatoes,
or copra, or coPR or some other product, is
poser .r..' .-,..a
We did not and that is all there is to it. If
we had we would have grown better beans than
they eat down Boston way. If it had been spuds
we would have taken no back talk from Aristook,
Boulder or Garden City.
Whatever Hawaii has done has been we'll done

Distance From Markets
Limits Wages and Profits

CCllINIIFlC study OF rural economics has led
~ to the development of certain laws which are
Believed t" be applicable to agricultural produce
ton in all lands. -
Values for any given commodity are influenced
~ consumption, rather than by production costs.
The relation which distance from market exercises
on value of product has been recently studied in
Europe and the United States.
Remembering always that it is the consumer
rather than the producer, or the vendor, who
establishes the true value of any article, the rul-
ing price at which merchandise sells must be made
the basis from which to work back to profitable
limit Of production costs.
Thus, New York prices for raw sugar set a
limit to the wages Of every field and mill hand
in Hawai-, Cuba and Louisiana, just exactly as
they also influence the earning capacity of rail
roads and steamship lines engaged in the trans
portation OF sugar to market. II the hansconti-
mental roads carried no other freight than Hawai-
ian sugar the price at which sugar sells in New
York would absolutely limit wages Of railway en-
ployes as we'll as of plantation laborers
Distance from market thus becomes ruling fac
tor in wage control. The price which the New
England consumer is willing to give for his sugar
establishes the rate of remuneration and the limit
of dividend earning capacity on all capital invested
in the production, manufacture transportation and
sale Of this commodity
! Hawaii could not afford to pay Louisiana wages
and better il the tonnage yield of sugar were no
greater here than there. AS it is our system OF
agricultural production is more intensive in Ha-
waii. We use more science, more brains, and more
fertilizer per acre of cane than they do in Lou
isiana Cuba. If agricultural production was
less systematic wages and profits here would de-
pend solely the natural laws governing trans
| portatiOn and trade
Hawaii is handicapped by Notwithstanding
contra dfferential. The fact that we have to some
measure overcome that diferential and have al

which gives the $50 students who are
now attending school an opportunity
to further rOade their literary
knowledge. Last session five districts
represented by six pupils in this High
School: this year ten district repre-
sented by % students. We attribute
this great increase of interest which is
being shown by other districts, large
ly to the address delivered by Prof.
n. w. Walker at the county COM
mencement here last April. Mr..
Walker is taking great interest IN our
High School and the community
greatly appreciates what he is doing
to make this, his old home school,
one of the leading high schools of the
State.
Mr.. Walker especially emphasized
in one of his lectures here this year
tina the county should feel very proud
Of its high school, it being the only
one in the county, and all citizens Of
Currituck county who have children
that complete the seventh grade have
the right to attend the high school
here free of tuition.
In the construction of the new
building the community took a great
interest. The actual cash furnished
by the county was $500. This is all
the aid we have had from the county,
the balance of the cash has been put
up by the Betterment Society, by pri-
vate subscriptions and by the commit
tee. A numbe of the citizens of The
community have given building ma
terial and work added to the actual
cash paid out on the building. The
old building is worth $4,000. The
total mount received from the coun
ty for the construction of both build
ings is ~$1,150.O0.
We are expecting a loan of $1,000
from the State which will come Q u

TAKE A LOOK AT CANADA.

From Milwaukee Journal (Rep.).
Some of the Tories who have
been scolding President Wilson for
not keeping the American dinner
pail full should be greatly enlight-
ened by reading a little industrial
history now being made in Canada.
1t would reveal, for instance, that
the Grand rum Railroad pro-
poses to reduce the wages Of A.
600 employees. 1t might be added
that the earnings of the Canadian
Pacific have fallen off many mil
lions since the outbreak of the war.
Canadian cities have hosts Of I'M
employed men in spite of the in
dustrieS that have been stimulated
by the demand for war materials.
This in Canada, the State where
the corporations are SO fairly
treated" where railroad and trust
commissions are not treading on
the heels Of the beneficent rulers
of Big Business. With all these
wholesome Canadian laws, care
fully designed to promote and n
courage expansion of trade, Can
ada still. has a depression.
Why not blame Mr.. Wilson for
the depression in Canada as we'll
as that in the United States? Since
any Democratic Executive must
bear the brunt of crop failures and
panic both before and after his
administration, why not unload the
depression Of Canada upon his
shoulders as we'll? Why such def
erence to a high Office and an over
| worked President?
