The present contest is nothing
more than a continuation of the
centuries-old struggle to make
government responsive to the peo-
pie and to render it an efficient
agency through which to harmon
ize the interests of our various
<ocial groups. A vast majority of
our social ills are due to the fact
that we are too prone to view our
relation to our fellew-man solely
from the standpoint of our own
selfish interests. We have our as.
sociations Of bankers, farmers,
laborers, merchants, professional
men-each for the promotion of a
particular industrial interest. We
must look to our government to
see that none Of these groups en-

If any advantage is to be gained
by the state taking over and oper.
! a,lng the industries, it will be lost
i'll the consequent sitting of indi-

ence. 1t will be more than lost in
opening of new opportunities for

and for the building up of col.
lossal political machine. The
state. so far, has made no great
record in economy or efficiency
in handling the few educational,

costs about double to operate what
it would cost private corpora
ton. Those who desire TO have
the state go into business propose
to you taxation that will prove
confiscatory i'll the end and pro.
vide for the means of creating a
political machine that will become
an irresistible dcspotism. Volun-
tary cooperation on terms
mutually agreeable is an entirely
different matter and can not at
all be compared to compulsory
cooperation at the will of the
majority. Instead, therefore, of
resorting to state ownership as a,
remedy for our present troubles,
Let the state correct the abuses of
the present system, leaving us an
improved opportunity to develop

We have been laying too much

talking in terms of dollars and

JUDGE QUINN BEATS
ALL OLD FISH YARNS
Tells How They Catch MusicaIIy
Inclined MuTet In Puma

Glenn X. Quinn, Judge of the fourth
circuit court, at HilO, is setting a new
mark for tellers of fish stories in the
Big Island to aim at. Judge Quinn
returned last week from visit to
Puma, where he had been guest of
Henry j. Lyman. On his return he
is quoted as follows:
"Talk about fish," remarked the
enthusiastic judge, "why, they are the
finest fish you ever saw. There is an
old pond over there with a break in
the wall and whenever they want any
special kind OF fish they send boy out
IN the wall there to whistle for them
md Just scoop 'em up in net as they
make bee'line for the pond. just be
fore left the boy went out with his
throw. net, whistled tune and caught
a mullet weighing five pounds"
'Do they have a different tune for
different kinds of fish" was asked.
"Well, I couldn I say as to that, bu
l noticed that whenever they wanted
ulua, mullet, kumu, or any other kind
of fish they went out and got them
| didn't pay any attention to the
tune, " added His Honor with "a twink,
in his eye.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER

There is good opportunity for careful
butter makers on the other islands to
get a better price for their butter at
the present time. The supply from the
Boys Industrial School is very small
and more is needed for the retail trade
Mt the Division. II is possible that the
whole output of the Boys Industrial
School creamery will be sold direct to
large retailer. This will mean that
the Division will have to get butter
from some other source to take its
place. There is no change in the
price Of eggs.
There is a good demand for young
chickens. MuscOvy ducks are still
plentiful and the price has dropped.

A tract of approximately $50 acre,
above LauPahOehoe, Hawaii, was diVid

j. G. An lrews, deputy land commits
sioner for the Big Island. There were
1872 applicants for the homestead lots
There were twenty-one such lots, but
each of the fortunate seven land seek
ers was entitled to three lots and each
took his full quota.
Two land drawings were held, the
preliminary one taking place at the
land commissioner 3 office in Honolulu
early this month, when the names OF
twenty-five applicants were registered
as having each chance to win at least
one lot. Most of these we're present
at the final drawing in Hilo, and the

T. A. Dranga, n merchant of Hilo
has conceived the idea of utilizing the
big lava caves near that city for the
culture Of mushrooms, an, industry he
thinks could be made one Of the most

He has written an article to the

that the Kaumana caves, enormous cav.

ever witness, are large enough and
adaptable enough for production of
mushrooms in vast quantity.
The caves have great area, equable,
