"Ths probable reasons for the ad.

Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
said yesterday. 1.-THE unexpected turn

OLD DUTY MAY BE
RESTORED ON SUGAR

A special eablegram from Washing
ton to the Star Bulletin yesterday says
that a strong sentiment is developing
among congressman arriving there for
the session which begins next Monday,
10 restore the duties on sugar which
were in force under the Payne Aldrich
Tariff Act. The opinion is freely ex,
pressed that sufficient votes will easily
be obtained for that purpose. Many
congressman favor making the reten.

manent, and giving the producers OPP
pOrtunity to arrange for the future.

PURELY NAUTICAL

There is a good deal of speculation
as to which of the next two sugar ships
will reach port The New York, san
Francisco and Honolulu officers Of the
American Hawaiian made three separ-
ate guesses as to when the K"ntu, Khan
would land her cargo. The Georgian,
according to the Honolulu iii - = Hue

Kentuckian 8 record is to be the g,'ide,
that will bring the Georgian into port

the presidents devotion to the public

He has an analytical mind and is capa-
BILE of reasoning out the most abstruse
propositions. He was reared on the

sense of justice, is free from demagog-

BRYAN ON SHIP
PURCHASE BILL.
COmmends Proposition Very Highly.
Freight Rate Advance.

The ship purchase bill which provides
for the creation of a corporation, ma
Jority of the stock of which shall be
controlled by the government, empow-
cred to secure, by purchase or other
wise, line of ships to be controlled by
the government, is one of the most i'm
portant measures of recent years There
are two arguments in favor of the bill:
First: That government controlled
ships are needed PERMANENTLY to
establish new trade routes and extend
our foreign commerce; and
Second That government owned
ships are needed at this time to give
additional facilities during the war and
to protect the public from extortionate
rates.
Not only are the shipping facilities
insufficient at present. but freight rates
have risen in some cases more than
seven hundred per cent since the war
began. The president and his admins
tration are behind the bill, and the coun-
try now knows enough of the president
to know how much force he can put be-
hind measure constructed in the in
terest of the public.
The theore teal opposition to the bill
is based upon objection to government-
ownership in the matter of ships. But,
like the opposition to the postal savings
bank, which represented the pecuniary
interests of the banks, and like the op-
position to the parcel post, which rep
resented the pecuniary interests of the
express companies, the opposition
to the ship purchase bill
represents the pecuniary interests of
the private shipping interests, foreign
and coastwise.
Seven democrats are acting with the
republicans, but the democrats have Sc
cured the support of enough progress
sive republicans to give them majority,
and the seven democrats are likely to
have the modification of defeat as well
as the criticism which their desertion
of their party has aroused. If the
filibuster continues for the remainder
