FACTS THAT CONVINCE.

Members Of the legislature appreciate, and
reliable Indications are that the territory APP
preciates, the spirit in which Governor Pink
ham has approached the legislature Of 1913.
He has welcomed its aid, its advice, its co
operation; he has relied upon its intelligence
and it's fair mindedncSS in the solution of COM
mon problems.
In this spirit he Submitted his special mes
sage of yesterday upon the agricultural in
dustrv 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 ont that cane sugar
and pineappIes furnish the only staple crops
and that there is no promise of any other crop
developing into a star1esin these islands. The
report also points outsthe comparatively small
amount of public lands available for agricul-
tnre in any event orffor sale if the territory
wished to make a 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 Ione-half our public
debt would be secured applicable thereto"
These facts have been put before the legis-
lature clearly and concisely. Criticism is made
that "these reports contain nothing that every
one has not known in general way for a long
fime.s. ~
That's the trouble-everyone seems to have
known about the situation Sin 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 terEitory-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, reason why an ex-
pert, thorough, impartial and fair-minded
Investigation should not be made. Hawaii has
nothing to conceal, nothing to hide-very much
10 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 reverse the attitude of Dem
0cratic administration and block the operation
Of the free-sugar clause in the tariff bill on
May 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 governor s implied
suggestion.

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
ness, would Hawaii be any better off? The
real fight to be made is fight for the American
trans Pacific lines, not for the foreign compan-
les. Hawaii will benefit in the end.

THE HUMBLE GUARD RAIL,
CFrom the Enosburg standard.)

The value Of a highway guard rail was
demonstrated at Montpelier last Satur-
day when light motor car slid off the
crown Of the road toward the Winooski
river and would have gone the whole
distance into deep water had 1t not been
for the wooden fence erected at that point
on Berlin street The highway guard
rail Is often held lightly, but it has
more often justified itself If towns and
cities would go to the slight outlay de-
manded and erect more fences Of sub
stantial nature along the roadside the
list Of road accidents would be materially
shortened.-Barre Times
The truth Of what the contemporary
says regarding the value of highway
guard rails has been demonstrated again
and again in the experience of individual
towns. but for all that, altogether too
much laxity prevails and there is la
mentahle failure in the case Of many
towns TO give the attention to this mat
ter which its Importance demands.
The matter Of guard rails on danger
GUS curves and along entertainments has
had the special attention of State High
way Commissioner Bates the past sea
son. great deal more than the usual
amount OF railing having been installed
during the summer.
In this connection. in recent in
terview. Commissioner Bates said:
Some people say that guard rails will
not hold a car and in measure thav
are true. but these rails have served
to decrease the number Of serious acct
dents, despite the popular belief" He
went on to say that II a heavy car hit
the railing head on. the rail could not be
expected to hold the heavy machine but
when the blow Is a glancing one. as II
usually Is the car is more often held in
the road than not. He cited an instance
which came to his attention only recent
ly when a rail prevented a big touring
car from dropping over 50-foot embank-
ment"
So it will be seen that tine Importance
OF the humble guard rail is recognized
by the head of the state highway depart
ment. who has emphasized this point in
connection with highway work In his
talks with road commissioners and who
has given State aid when possible in put
ting In substantial guard rails
AS the commissioner says, railing
could not be expected to hold a heavy
machine hitting it head-on. neither will
1t withstand the impact of n car reck-
lessly driven at express rate speed But
1t Is not designed to, and the sooner such
drivers and their machines go out of
commission over some embankment the
better.
But guard rails do afford protection
In countless instances to carefully operat-
ed cars and to horse-drven vehicles
as Well and in addition they are meas
ure OK protection to towns against cost
~ and veXatious damage suits On this
ground alone they are a good invest
ment.
