Invitations to Speak in

on Way.
ROOSEVELT MAY TALK
IN THREE CITIES
Following Root Meeting, Oyster
Bay Thinks He Will Be Ac-
copied by Conservatives.

From a Sta1 Correspondcn, u Tie Tribune
Oyster Bay, April This has been
day Of rest for Colonel Roosevelt,
the first since his return from Trini-
dad Not a person Of political i'm
portance made the pilgrimage to Saga
more Hill during the day. After the
Colonel's return from church, few
neighbors called. and in the afternoon
he took his customary tramp about
the estate.
This absence of visitors. however. is
expected TO be merely the lull before
the storm There are good reasons
for thinking that many men Of import
ance in the Republican and Progress
slve parties will be among his callers
in the next few days. One effect Of
the Root conference in New York IS
already seen in tendency on the part
of some who have been holding a
middle of the road position TO climb
upon the Roosevelt band wagon.
Among these visitors il Is expected
there will be several from the Middle
Western country, where Roosevelt mas
always been strong. bearing requests
that he speak there, either before his
Chicago address or Immediately after
1t now seems likely that he may con-
sent to make not more than three ad-
dresses.
Reports here from Washington and
elsewhere that the Root conference was
anything more or less than get-to-
gether meeting are laughed at. The
meeting. it is explained, IS a culmina-
tion of long efforts TO bring ex-senator
Root and the Colonel together. Now
that this has been done, it would be
difficult to convince admirers of the

There has been considerable senti-
ment in Connecticut favorable TO Root
for President; alio some for .x-Sena-
tor Barton. but the trend lately has
been toward Justice Hughes as the
man to lead the fight. unsil at present

Sugar Prices

THE Australian government war measure,
i and to maintain the price OF food at level
within the means of all consumers, has establish
ed the values at which raw sugar may be sold at
between $62.+0 and $3.50 per ton. The lower
price is to be paid If certain prescribed labor con-
ditons have not been fulfilled by the planters but
if the cane is grown the government wishes, the
higher price is to be paid
An internal revenue tax OF four cents per ton of
cane ground has also been levied on the planters,
The following is extracted from government
proclamation recently issued under the sugar &C
QUESTION act of 1915, and published in The Aus
tralian Sugar Journal:
The price OF the raw sugar acquired under pro-
clamation dated the seventh day of January, 1916,
payable to- the owners of such sugar respective
y shall be as follows At the rate OF fl8 per ton,
"a per cent net tire, upon the Treasurer being
satisfied that the said sugar has been produc-
ed and manufactured by labor and under condi-
tons approved by him; or at such rate per ton,
not being less than at the rate of fl3 per ton, "a
per cent tire the Treasurer may fix in cases
where the Treasurer is not satlhed aforesaid.
The aforesaid price shall in each be the price
delivered on board trucks at the place di-
rected by the Treasurer in the port or town, or at
the railway station siding or refinery in or at
which the raw sugar from the mill or factory
concerned was delivered for refining during the
season 1915, or if no such sugar was delivered for
refining during such season, then in such port or
at such place as the Treasurer may direct.
In order to arrive at the price to be paid in
respect of any delivery of raw sugar at any re-
hnery in Queensland, where it is to be refined, the
Treasurer may direct that fair sample Of
each such delivery shall be taken by some officer
of the refinery in the presence of some person de-
puted by the Treasurer in that behalf. Such State
analyst shall thereupon, by analysis of such part,
determine the percentage of sugar net ttre in such
delivery and his analysis shall be final and shall
not be questioned by any person.
1t is also officially announced that the Central
Sugar Cane Prices Board has decided to make and
levy an assessment at the said rate of two-pence
per ton on all sugar received at each mill in
Queensland on and after the fourth day OF May,
1916. Such assessment shall be paid by the own
err of the mill to the Minister, on the first day of
every month, upon the actual number of tons of
sugar cane received at the mill during the proceed
ing month. Such assessment shall, however be
borne by the cane grower for every ton supplied
by such cane grower o..

An Industrial Reserve
Hilo, July %.

@t1AIRMAN HOWARD F. COFFIN of the
- committee on industrial preparedness OF the
Naval Consulting Board has called the attention
OF the war department to the folly Of taking mer
from the great factories for soldiers Munitions
are fully as important as men,
On this subject Mr. Coffin says, industrial
plants whose output is absolutely essential to the
success OF our arms in the event of hostilities will
lose a considerable part of their employees who
are called out with the National Guard This is
all wrong.
1--WE must conserve our skilled mechanics the
machine makers, the gauge makers and others who
make the winning Of wars possible by producing
the things that count. They should not be con-
verified into soldiers Their work is as honorable
and necessary that OF the man who does the
fighting. Without guns and bullets soldier would
not have much chance. Something should be
done to prevent this large element, which is such
valuable asset to the country, from becoming
soldiers
"One of the plans of the committee on industrial
preparedness is the organization of industrial
reserve in which men may enlist. Enlistment in
the reserves should carry as much honor with it
as enlistment in the army. The forces that make
the munitions must be kept up to their highest
efficiency if there is to be preparedness that is
real preparedness.

The State of the Volcano

Edltor advertiser - r. -
receive frequent inquiries as to whether the
volcano is worth visiting now.
A brief statement as to its present condition may
be OF interest to others whom | do not personally
meet. E,
The active lake of molten lava is in most salts
factory condition for observation The lake sank
TO depth of approximately 700 feet below the rim
of the inner pit, during the first week in June Since
then IT has been steadily rising, until now it is within
about 500 feet of the rim and extends nearly from
bank to bank, being approximately lOOO-feet tong
by 700 to 800 feet wide, with constant activity in
the way of fountains flows and streaming OF the lava
both within the lake and outside of it,
There is not much vapor-not enough to obscure
the lake. nor is the odor of sulphur very strong g.
During the past week there have been almost daily
overhows of lava, sweeping back from the edges OF
the lake to the walls OF the pit.
There have also been three molten rivers emerging
from the walls of the pit some thirty feet above
the lake and cascading down into the lake. making a
most spectacular sight These cascades ntermit-
tent, running from an hour to all day.
Last week lava tube formed over blow hole
building up column thirty feet high and not
over four feet in diameter. This exploded every
thirty to sixty seconds with report like rife shot
So sharp indeed, was the report, that for some mo-
HcnIS L Thought some one was S1OOtl1g from the
opposite bank. With each explosion a shower OF
lava spatter thrown into the air thirty feet
or So The next day this lava had disappear
ed, blown to pieces probably, by an extra heavy
charge Of gas.
There is much actor. plenty of fire and excellent
opportunity to view it. "
My strong advice to all who can possibly spare the
time is to 60 to the volcano now but not to return
by the same steamer The crater is changing every
days never twice alike, and to be appreciated must
be seen more than once.
AS to danger at the crater. several spots on the
rim of the pit were shattered by the downfall of
month ago, but the main portion of the banks are
in the same condition that they have been Tor the
past twenty-five years, and may therefore be deem ID
reasonably safe. The more dangerous spots are be-
ing marked by the Hilo Publicity Committee. If
they are avoided the crater trip is not more danger
Dus than usual.

THE ADVERTISERS SEm.wEEELY
The Entente Boycott

lTHE Chinese the only people who have
u ever declared a boycott and made it stick
Within the past six months the arrival at this
port Of few hundred tons OF Japanese merchan-
disc consigned to Chinese firms was considered az,
event Of sufficient importance to send over the
wire as Associated Press news. 1t marked the
resumption OF friendly business relations between
the merchants OF these two great and progressive
nations.
The Chinese have boycotted British goods in
protest against overt acts directed against the
Chinese government in certain matters of conces-
sicls national loans for railroad constructions and
the hogging OF exclusive spheres OF commercial
influence. They have also used the boycott against
other nationaltes to the extent that all over the
wor d no Chinese subject has bought, sold, con
stunned or used any MERCHANDISE or material orr
ginating in the land against which the boycott
rested so long as it was in force.
In every other instance in which an attempt
has been made to enforce boycott it has proved
a tUo-edged sword, blade and handle both sharp.
The announcement that foreign governments
with which the United States is now at peace have
entered the United States in an attempt to en-
force boycott .gainst citizens OF other foreign
nations with which we are also at peace, cannot
s4 viewed with eQuanimty or be allowed to pass
without firm and indignant protest. 1t is an in
solent and impudent invasion of American neu-
ftraty.
Under the law every corporation in the United
States is American citizen standing on an equal
lily with the individual in its rights OF citizenship
While interpretations are under the jurisdiction OF
State rather than federal law it is perhaps for
tunate that Hawaiian corporations are directly
der congressional jurisdiction so that any attempt
to enforce foreign edcts in constraint of egiti-
mate American trade within this Territory. can
be carried direct to Washington and made the sub
ject of congressional investigation.
