it flees out just as easily Where other

WHY SUGAR DUTY Is NEEDED.

Sugars Importance, to Uncle Sam as a rev.
enue producer is shown in report by the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic commerce, De
partment of Commerce, of which advance sum
maries have reached the Star-Bulletin. Even
a casual glance at the figures would convince
the most ardent free trader that when an in
crease in national income is needed as badly
as now, there is no danger that the sugar duty
will be sacrificed.
Sugar, tobacco, cotton manufactures, and
alcoholic liquors supply about one-half the to-
tai revenues derived from imported merchan-
disc. The duties collected on imported sugar
in the fiscal year 1915 amounted to $49,0O0,OOO,
a decrease sof 100000 when compared with
1914 Unmauufactured tobacco paid duties
aggregating $50 100000, as against $23,6OO,OOO
in the preceding year; and manufactured to-
bacco, $1,000, 900, as compared with So, 100000
in 1914. On imported cotton goods duties col
lected amounted to $20,0O00OO; on distilled
spirits, wines, malt liquors, etc., $13 100000;
on silk manufactures, $11OO0,OOO; and on man
ufactures of fiber and of WOOL each about $10
100000

WAR LOSSES.

Eleele, Kauai. Jan. %, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Excuse me for writing to you
a few lines in regard to the European
war, and principally about the huge
figures of the German losses; but
have never seen In any of the papers
any figures giving the losses of the
Allies. except those OF the English
1t does not make much difference
anyway. We will see later which ma.
ton is going to be the victor But
will show you something which i have
just read In the Lincoln Freie Presse,
Jan. ), 1916, from the Berlin Tage-
bIatt. 1t says from the beginning OF
the war, August 4, 1914, the Entente
powers showed the figures of popula-
ton of 230,00U,000, and the Central
powers showed 100000. Now on
January J., 1916, the figures of the
Entente show US a decrease to 1885,
600, 900. and the CenFals show an in.
crease to 10000, 900, and at the same
time they have conquered an area OF
$4,000 square miles of the enemy's
country. almost as large as Germany
itself. II those figures are correct !
shbuld say it paid Germany very we'll
to stand those losses inflicted upon
them, providing they hold on to what
they have gained. :....
Yours truly, &c.,.

boy SCOUTS get
fine BOOST FROM
kauai Meeting

Scouting" James A. Wilder told
the teachers In convention on Kauai
Saturday night, "is the greatest Ameri.
canizing agency developed. If we
want to absorb and assimilate the
foreign boys, scouting will do more
toward 1t than any other one thing
except the schools, and the boy who
is a scout will go to school prepared
to receive what Is to be had there,
with American ideals already implant-
ed in him."
Mr.. Wilder said in his address,
which was heard by nearly all the
citizens Of Lihue, that the scout motto
"Be prepared" Is broad enough to
cover preparedness to meet every
emergency, and that the scout oath
was a platform on which boy might
stand without any other code and still
be true, good citizen.
e. Allan Crewey, vocational instruct
or in the Kauai schools, was chosen
Scout Commissioner for Kauai, and
William H. Rice. called ''the Grand
Old Man of Kauai" by Mr.. Wilder, was
chosen president of the council Many
representative men volunteered to
serve on the scout council. Eleele
will be the center. of scout activities
on the island, but troops will be.
formed at Lihne, Kapaha, where the
formation has already begun In the

EDITOR
PLAY OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE
WAIALEE BOYS.

Organized play will hereafter be made fea-
ture at the Boys Industrial School, the Star
Bulletin learns, and in this respect at least the
bitter lesson of the Tucker regime has been
lwell-learned The play will not be forced OH
the boys; those who wish play will be given
opportunities and facilities to do so, but only
if they show themselves ready to accept the
privilege by making good" in their work and
study. "
In other words, it is up to the boys them
selves whether they play baseball, football, ETC.,
and as spirited competition between teams will
be instituted, there is no question that the boys
will want to play. ..S
The school cannot be remade in day or a
week, and perhaps some of the boys will con-
tinue obstinate and sullen. But at least there
will be something like a real opportunity for
the lads to develop strength and hope and
courage in way that has heretofore been
lacking. ], "-*

"soNs OF THE PRESIDENT.

Attention that is literally nationwide has
been attracted to the declaration of Rev. Shire
Sokabe, of Honomu, Hawaii, that the japanese
born in this territory must be ready to fight
as sons of the president not of the emperor
Mr.. Sokabe is one of the leaders of the Japan.
American Citizens Association formed a
few months ago. The STAR Bulletin published
at that time his address to the young japanese
associated with him, and mainland papers from
Massachusetts to California have reprinted
from this paper the main portions of his. adj
dress
Two of the latest references are found in the
New York Times and Golfers Weekly, both
of which praise the spirit Of Mr., Sokabe s re-
marks. After quoting his speech virtually in
full, the Times comments editorially:
These Americans should drop the word
Japanese and be content with plain 'Ameri-
can. But there is no hyphen in their citizen
ship, no division of their allegiance. Sons Of
the President, not of the Emperor. There are
American citizens who forget that who are
sons of the emperor, not of the president
Rev. Sokabe's words have sounded farther
than he knew. They have an audience far
larger than that of the association he helped to
found. Because they struck the keynote Of
American unity, they are being repeated 10
hundreds of thousands of Americans.
An incident, such as this will help to offset
much Of the silly jingo talk heard on the main
land and will reassure mainlanders who re-
gard Hawaii as "all Oriental

CONGRESS AND PRoH1B1T1oN.

Though martial measures hold first place in
national attention just now, Congress will soon
be stirred by the prohibition fight, if present
indications do not fail
Chairman Webb of the house Judiciary COM
mittee and Chairman Henry of the rules COM
mittee have conferred over some plan whereby
the rules committee will bring to the floor of
Congress the question of the constitutional
amendment on prohibition A special rule will
probably be made for this purpose. Members
Of the Anti-Saloon League have been active in
their campaign for congressional legislation
and their efforts have been reflected in numer-
Gus communications to members of both houses.
The announced purpose of some of the leaders
in the campaign is to seek to put on to an APP
preparation bill rider providing for prohibi-
ton in the District Of Columbia, and in the
event they should be successful in that move,
to bring up the constitutional prohibition
amendment, which Senator Sheppard and form
er Representative Hobson have fought for.

HILL SERVICE To
ISLANDS WILDE
. AUGMENTED SOON
G. N. Koeppel, Agent on Coast,
Says Additional Sailings
After April are Planned

Although no information concerning
extension of Great Northern's sailings
beyond the present last scheduled de-
parture from Honolulu. April 4. has
been received by Fred l. Waldron,
J Ltd. the Honolulu agents, statement
made Dy G. y. Koeppel. agent for the
Great Northern Pacific, to the San
Diego Union, declares the service is
to be not only continued but augment.
ed next summer
Mr.. Koeppel said that the service
is proving popular, and that it will
be augmented during the summer
when travel to and from the islands
reaches the high water mark.
THE Great Northern will steam from
San Francisco for Hawaii on January
%, February II. March and March
"a. Other steaming dates will be an
nounced later" Koeppel added.
The local agents, when shown this
news story, said they could neither
confirm nor deny it. but that 1t looked
to them doubtful II there is any sail
ing from Honolulu later than April 4.
Freight business given the Great
Northern by local merchants has
been disappointingly small, and unless
it increases materially the chances Of
keeping the palatial liner on the run
are believed to be slight, the agents
say.

REACHING OUT LONG ARM.
{ From Los Angeles Times,

The Hawaiian Islands, lying pretty well in
mid Pacific, being about 1000 miles from San
Francisco and little less from Los Angeles,
belong to the United States. The import trade
of the islands amounts to about $250OO,000 a
year. A good deal of it is carried on between
the Pacific Coast ports, and Los Angeles is en-
titled to her share of it. The jobbers of this
city, through that magnificent organization, the
Chamber of Commerce, are reaching out long,
strong arms to secure their birthright in this
trade with the islands. It is surely worth GO
ing after, and just as surely the Los Angeles
merchants will get it. """

Japan,s denial that the "seyen demands y
have been again sent to China was to be ex.
pected. Last spring Japan denied first that
any demands had been made on China, and
secondly, that there was anything oppressive
in demands as drafted. Later Japan denied
that any of the demands had been kept from
the other Powers. Whatever the statements
in Toxic now, the rest of the world will believe
that the Nipponese are silently endeavoring to
secure what they could not get last year-mili-
tary, commercial and political domination of
the Chinese government.
