Methodist
Claude J. Spiers.

There were forty-slx in at
tendance at prayer meeting on
last Wednesday evening. TINS
is Mt up to what we have had,
but we are proud of the good at
tendance and hope that our peo-
pie will make an effort TO attend
when it is possible.
We received one into the church
on last Sunday morning.
The ladies' of the church put
new Majestic range in the par
sonage last week and this adds
to the convenience and pleasure
of all who will reside there for
the next generation. A range Is
an ugly thing to be moving over
the country and this is quite a
help to the preachers families
and ;helpsto take away the sting
of moving. We wish to thank
th&tadies for their kindness.
If the weather keeps favorable
the special meetings at Missler
will coutiuue after Wednesday
evening. AL are invited to at
tend and help in this work.
The duet by Miss Thompson
and Miss Osborne on Sunday
morning aud a solo in the even
ing by Mrs. Hamilton added tc
the services on Sunday more
than we can express in words,
We are glad to know that our
church is noted for the specials
that we have each Sunday.
We extend an invitation to you
toattend all our services.

Confessedly Incompetent

"A MORE abject confession of ircompetency
"A was never made by public official OF Ha-
waii than is contained in Sheriff Roses letter to
Mayor Lane that the gambling situation in Ho-
noluu is beyond the power OF the police to control.
The gamblers says this naive epistle exercise all
kinds of tricks and the poor houndering detectives
are taken at disadvantage. The sheriff holds out
no hope that things will ever be any better during
his term of Office.
1t is matter Of common history that other de
tective heads in Honolulu have suppressed the
greater part of the gambling, and at time when
it was not carried on openly and impudently
as at present. Other sherifs have been able to
deal with the situation The trouble i'll Honolulu
at present is that we have sheriff who is wholly
Indifferent to the call Of duty and detective de-
partment that is incapableto put it charitably-
owing to the stupid cOnceit of the police depart
ment heads.
Any four honest men, armed with authority,
could stamp out ninety per cent OF the public gam
bling in Honolulu in six weeks Any competent
sheriff would see that his detectives performed
their duty or he would that his detective force
was weeded out and men who could and would
perform their work installed.
But then, ordinary honesty and measure Of
common sense would revolutionlze things just
now around police headquarters.

The Pineapple Situation

n HERE are ten thousand tons of pineappes
L that could be bought today for FIVE dollars
ton, and we don't want to buy them, lis the
pineapple situation on Oahu That statement was
made yesterday by the manager of one OF the big
canneries.
The packers do not want to spend that hfS
thousand because to get their money back they
would have to put in three hundred thousand
dollars of their own to make the first fifty thou
sand good.
If the farmers could get that price today for
the ten thousand tons it would net them i'm
mediate loss of seventy thousand for labor
pended for which they get nothing Pineapples
cannot be grown for less than twelve dollars under
the most favorable conditions.
This is condition, not theory.
The farmers planted their crops in good faith
No man is compelled by law to buy another man 5
product, that is true. Nevertheless, morally, the
community is bound to stand by these men who
have done what they have in good faith.
If they had succeeded the community would
have benefited No one can deny that Prosper
ity is contagious
Conditions which they did not make and which
no man could foresee have cut off their legitimate
market.
1t will be to the everlasting shame of Hawaii
if those who would have benefited had times been
normal d" not now Come to the relief Of the small
pineapple growerst !'''.'.
1t is not charity. 1t is business and community
business at that. - -
There is no law compelling it, but every one
knows the leading fnanciers and men of affairs
who control the destinies of this Territory have
always implored the small farmer to produce
some crop that can be exported" The pineapple
farmers have done so. 1t is now a moral obliga
ton which the business leaders of Hawaii cannot
afford to shirk to see to it that these same small
farmers do not lose their all.

Need ofStrong NGpy{I

NV L OF the United States often have beell as
w sured on the one hand, that thousands OF
miles of water forever protect our shores IRON in
vasion; that our neighbors both on the North and
on the South are neither unfriendly nor powerful;
in short so great are the natural and political con-
ditons in our favor that with great measure
Of military preparedness is necessary. On the
other hand it has Been pointed out that in both
the wars Of the Revolution Of 1872, 1t was possible
10 maintain foreign armies on our sou LOT years;
thar since that time communication by, sea has 50
tremendously improved that the performances OF
thezBritsh in l&99-l902, when flee: OF more than
a th9isapd transports carried more than three
quarters OF a million distance OF SIX thous-
and miles, excite surprise that our isolation IS
no. longer great, factor, in that we are only
week from Europe at most; and that the Monroe
| Doctrine and our colonies are all weak points in
Ethe theory that il is destiny to be forever isol-
'AIthuut discussing the merits Of either Of these
contrary opinions, or the present military sittia-
tipn the conditions OF success IN any invasion by
sea have been found by experience TO be- COM
mand Of the sea large marine resources, thorough
preparation, and secrecy. The actual landing OF
troops is a secondary matter and IAN even be ac-
comphShed the 0per beach whenever neces-
sary. OF all the conditions, Command OF the
Sea" is the principal factor it is indeed conditio
at sea without at least local or temporary COM
mand.
A TRANSPORT is an unarmed vessel; it requires
more than hundred such vessels to transport

powerful enough to sail the high seas in the neigh
borhood of the cnemy's country should effectively
debar all thoughts of invasion.
1t follows, therefore, that strong and efficient
navy is the very first requirement OF national de-
Tense and that it's freedom of movement to all
quarters of the seas should be as firmly secured as
naval bases, land Notifications, and mobile troops
can provide.
The genius Of our people is opPoseG to large

army can ever be looked for But an increase in
our navy and sufficient additional land forces to
safeguard Panama and Hawaii, ensuring freedom
to our fleets, is a matter of vital necessity to u.s.
a navy large enough to sail freely in either
ocean: its passage from one ocean to the other as
Sured by large garrisons in Panama and its
movements guaranteed by complete and
we'll fortified naval bases; such policy OF nation
al defense seems to us best suited to secure the
liberties Of our people, and the soil Of our country

Fertilizers and High Cost
of Living

COMMERCIAL fertilizers are the most i'm
~ portant single factor in increasing crop pro-
ducion In the last twenty years the cost OF food
products in the United States has increased twice
fast the cost of other commodities and about
twice as fast the general cost of living through
out the world.
The only ctectua remedy for this is to increase
the production per acre without proportiOnately
adding to the labor of farming. Fertilizers will do
this Nothing else will.
Fertilizers should be used, not because the land
needs them, or the crop, but because the man who
is growing the crop needs the larger income which
larger crops will give him. The world at large
needs the bigger crops too.
The farmer who does not fertilizers is like
the merchant who does not advertise.

Warren D. Wood returned home yes

British steamer KestreI, which be
jumped at Ocean Island after trouble
with Capt. 4. = Tindall.

He Is Too Anxious
! After leaving the Kestrel at Ocean
Island, Wood sailed for Sydney on the
! Norwegian steamer Promise as third
officer. When the steamer arrived Mt
| Sydney, n. s. W., she was boarded nv
naval and military authorities, who re-
moved several Germans from her crew
and placed them in a detention camp.
Wood also was suspected of being an
enemy subject, but he showed too
mnch anxiety to be placed in the camp,
saying that it would make great
story for the paper in Honolulu," that
he couldn' t have jimmied y his way

tralian slang to that effect, called
German boy at the dock. He looks
just like me old man." who was in
detention as German subject. That
was the cue for a detective to sci :e
Wood, but except for the annoyance
there was no trouble.
TIe lost his money and tried to
cable home for funds, but the cable
office refused to accept his message.
Asks Birth Certificate
The American consul would have
nothing to do with him, although Wood
showed him papers, letters from Homo
lulu, the tailor $ mark in his coat and
every other means of Identification Of
which he could think. The consul
wanted a birth certificate! Wood al
viscd him he ddn carry his about
with him.
The Bank of New Zealand refused
to handle his cable. Finally Thomas
Cook l. Sons did, but, when the money
was forwarded, it went to the Bank
of New Zealand, and Wood was m
aware of that for a few DAYS. He
was given "tip' at the cable ufice
that IL was sent to the bank. Ne
went there. The master Of the Pro
mise was called upon to indOrse Wood +
signature, and the agents for the veg.
sel t. indOrse the captain =. The bank
wanted some one to indorse for the
agent, but Wood refused to stir a
step further and he was given his
money.
lie pushed most of this amount, a
tidy sum in bills, into his pocket, and
lost it, too, so that again he was eft
with little. Finally the Ventura came
and Wood got home on her.

The Arch Traitor

COLONEL MAUS, surgeon general OF the
~ Eastern Department OF the United States
Army, has been retired after record service OF
fort -one years in the Medical Corps. He is the
man, says Golfers, who organized our public
health service in the Philippines and cleaned Ma
Mia OF bubonic plague, leproSy and smallpox. If
knowledge, skill and accomplishment are anything,
this man is an authority. He has pointed out re-
peatedy that soldiers do not know how to
alcohol and never will that booze responsible
for large part of the disastrous stomach troubles
and mental breakdowns OF our soldiers in the
Cuban and Philippine campaigns This is his final
verdict the whole subject:
Practically all Of the crime committed in the
army, directly ndire city, be traced to
the effects of alcohol. Murders robberies de
sertions courts, martial, and dismissal of Onc
rrs, prison and guardho sentences OF enlist
ed men, fights, braws broken friendships, mis-
cry, wrAtc hedness, and m oral degeueracy should
generally be ascribed to the use Of ntOxicants.
1t the great war in Europe has proved nothing
el~c it has proved that Colonel Maus is absolutely
right Booze and uniforms do not mix. and alcohol
is the worst OF all traitors.
