Think CUSTOMS
HOUSE HERE Is
WELL MANAGED
Special Efficiency Commission
investigates Methods on the
Coast but ignores Honolulu

Pacific coast customs house officials
have been on the anxious seat for the
last few months because the govern,
ment has had an efficiency commission
inspecting the customs houses, cutting
ont dead ends and devising ways and
means to do the same amount of work
more efficiently with less expense, &C
cording to Raymer Sharp, special dep
l,fy collector and examiner OF customs
IN this port, who arrived home today
on the Matsonia.
sI Invited the commission to come
over to Honolulu and give the once
over, to our customs house" said Mr.
Sharp, .hut they didn't accept. and
have gone back to Washington to
make their report to the treasury de-
uartnlent. had several friends on
the Commission, which was appointed
by the secretary OF the treasury, and
they know how the the Honolulu Gus
toms house is conducted. They'd have
been over here had they thought 1t
necessary, that's sure"
Callfornia's interior valleys are hot
ter than Honolulu, Mr.. Sharp said. He
has been with his family in Central and
northern California, visiting San Fran
cisco. san Jose, Santa Cruz. and the
sacramento and San Joaquin valleys

four months.

IT They Could See It They'd
Bridge Pacific and Start
Factory, Says Stone

aIf the steel trilst could only see
this!" groaned Cal Stone when he
looked into the leaping fires OF Kilan
ca. .If they coulc only see this they'd
bridge the Pacific and buy Oahu as a
foot-rest while they sat down with a
great factory on Kilauea. Well, / may
sound foolish. but this sight makes
me feel like boy" ~ -.
II was the climax CT the interesting
trip which G.. Il. Stone and C. W. Wiley
made with Al. p. Taylor over to Ha.
waii. The scenic possibilities OF the
Big Island greatly impressed Stone. 4
IT you send your line down here,
suggested Mr.. Taylor when a gasp el
admiration came from Mr. Stone as
they whirIeds through the $3.50 900 tnn.
mel and out upon the $3.50, 900 trestle
Of the Hilo railroad. IL You send the
Great Northern down here. why don't

Hawaii but enthusiastic boosters.
wherever you run railroad lines YOU
send ont advertising matter stating
the attractions OF the most prominent

the line runs. Now isn't It true that
you can hardly advertise the greatest
attraction OF the group Of islands if

Mr.. Stone was obviously impressed

the Portuguese, Japanese or Chinese,

Will Fill Engagement on Popular

DR.. Thos. E. Green has for ten or
twelve years been one of the most
powerful lecturers on the American
Lyceum platform. Few men have
had wider hearing and exerted
wider influence than he. One of his
leading lectures, "The Key to the
Twentieth Century" he has delivered
over 1900 times. The Popular Mag
azines use everything he can find time
to put into written form. AT the re-
cent international Peace Conference
at St. Louis, the Globe-Democrat
stated among all the great speakers
that Dr.. Green easily eclipsed them
all. During 1911 and 1912 he com
pleted journey around the world. In
the spring of 1913 he visited Panama
and the historic islands of the Span

Of current conditions that has Dr.

TRIBUTE TO THE COW.

Mr.. G. M. Bassett, manager OF the
cooperative Creamery of this city,
found the following tribute to the
patient mortgage-lifter so good that
he copied it for The Tribune readers:
Most potent of all influences in the
building of this, the mightiest nation
in history, is the cow. Her sons drew
the plows which first cultivated the
land of the New World, hauled to
market the poduct of the field, and,
with slow energy, moved the chattels
and household goods beyond the
mountains to new homes in the far
ther west
They supplied the beef which is the
food of the Anglo Saxon, race which
was never conquered since history
began, They furnished the shoes of
the pioneers who trod the unknown
wilds and made of them the farm
steads and cities of our present en-
lightenment. They gave the clothes
and robes to protect the pioneer
against the destroying blasts of win
ter and made commerce possible be-
fore the railroad was. They covered
the chair upon which he sat, filled the
mattress upon which he slept and
glued the furniture which he used
1 he old COW is mother of the whole
bovine tribe and foster mother of
half the human race. From the road
side weed she manufactures the most
nourishing of human foods. She is
the ready aid of the farmer, the pet
of the rich man and the ever present
help of the poor. She is the econo-
mist of the people and the conser-
vator of their resources. She par
takes OF the grass of the field and
leaves the farm the richer for her
presence
AS she helped develop the farm
| from the wilderness and as she ate
from its first fruits, so she will re-
new the life of the soil and make a
still greater possible. In all history
the cow has been mans closest friend
and benefactor. Upon her products
are built the great business interests
which center in our stockyards and
the creameries, the shoe factories, the
harness shops and the mills
Take away the COW and our banks
would close. our graveyards yawn,
and the wheels OF commerce would
cease to turn. Honor the care OF her
and business fourishes, the fertility
OF the soil is conserved and she be-
comes the custodian of the nations
prosperity.
