As usual this time of the year there
is a marked scarcity of furnished Ho-
noluIu residences for incoming visit
ors, although concerns here in the
house renting business aver there Is
a more noticeable lack of such tempo
rary homes this year than ever before.
Requests for such houses are coming
in much earlier, too. this year, it is
said
Showing how DESTROYS some who
contemplate visiting here this winter
are for a suitable home for house
keeping during the visit there ran in
a local newspaper last week the fol-
lowing item in the want column:

Officers of the Trent company say
in regard to the little 4ad that the
person desiring the house is no parti

BAGASSE PAPER
POSSIBLE, SAYS
Kinds REPORT
Expert. After Investigation on
Mainland. Makes 0ptim-
iStic Summary

Isl Thayit sIbossible 10 make paper
from pasasye, or sugar cane pulp, and
that ne Etgar men OF the Hawaiian
Islands Should take up its uIanufac.
ture, Is the optimistic opinion OF r.
Renton Hind VINO recently made an
investigation along these lines while
on the mainland, in a report 10 the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association.
In the report Hind says that former
failures should not act against the
establishment here of a plant, as the
study of past experiments would great
" aid the ultimate success here. At
tempts have already been tried in
Louisiana, Texas. Java, Argentine.
Brazil and Cuba
The report opens with discussion
of the paper market, in which it is
shown that the nation is facing a
great shortage of paper due to the.
scarcity of wood pulp, as the forests
are being cut off three times faster
than they can grow and this is caus-
ing worry among all paper manufac
tuTeTs and users. especially news
printing paper. For this reason "a sub
stitue must be found.
Hind says that every paper man he
talked with believes that pulp prices
will never go below $50 ton again.
Bagasse is the best substitute, as it
has many advantages, and the Ha-
waiian bagasse is better than those
found in other localities because of its
greater maturity Hind them gees on
TO say that authorities differ as to
the best grade of paper to make from
the bagasse, but all agree that its
present possibilities are unlimited
The Orient, it is pointed out, would
be q good market for the local prod.
uct.
Mr. Hind sums up his report with
the statement:
The hearty reception which / re-.
ceived on the part of paper manufac-
turers, who are anxious to see sub
stitute for wood pulp commercially de.
veloped. aside from any facts or fig
ures which | have been able to OBJ
tain, has led me to believe that the
time has arrived when it will be adj
yisable for Hawaiian planters to enter
into the manufacture of pulp or paper
from bdSdSSe 10 lullli the lIelHeHd-
Gus demand for substitutes for wood
pulp, the price of which has reached
level heretofore unknown, and from
which there seems to be no prospect
of relief in the future
Commercial production of bagasse
paper in Hawaii" Mr.. Hind continues,
twill have the benefit of the expert
anaa IF many previnlIS pxDerif1pnts in
other sugar producing countries.
Initial expense to put the industry on
a paying basis will be large, but that
bagasse pulp can be made success ]
am absolutely confident"

MR.. HUCHES'S MESSAGE
Teaching Higher Patriotism by Showing
Betrayals of Trust.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor oil Inc lrlDunc.
Sir: In his letter of August to the Jane
Jefferson Club of Denver President Wilson.
in an attempt to win support from woman
sufrragists, though opposing womans SUI
frac, amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, says:
Both the great political parties OF the ma
ton have in their recent platforms favored
the extension Of the suffrage to women
through state action, and | do not see how
their candidates can consistently disregard
these official declarations
Mr.. Wilson, then, believes that he, as
candidate, is bound to carry out the party
platform on which he is nominated. Whether
those of US favoring the adoption OF woman
suffrage by Federal amendment can ma any
comfort or assurance in Mr.. Wilson'S posi-
ton is another matter The interesting point
is that Mr.. Wilson has always clothed what
some call hair-spltting and expediency with
high moral principles and has striven TO
establish himself as one who can be moved
by only the loftiest motives and 49, as
matter of course, absolutely bound by past
pledges. And he now states that he is par
ticularly bound by the platform pledge OF 'ne
party that nominated him.
He thereby downs himself utterly. FOR
he is now serving as President on party
platform that pledges him to single term
as President, and he is at the same time
doing his utmost TO secure second term III
direct and absolute violation of that pledge.
Out Of the thousand charges Of inconss-
tency. insincerity and hypocrisy what other
cbsrce ia necessary? What could be a
simpler more direct and more sweeping ex-
nose of the unreiability of Mr.. Wilson's
habitusl campaign slogans of moral respon-
sibility." "high principle" honor" and
"strict accountability" than this open and
fragrant violation of his definite pledge
against the second term he is now seeking!
Incidentally, / have an idea that Mr..
Hughes, in his personal campaign against the
"small" immoralities of the present Admins
tration. is gradually leading up in his quiet
wav to this very point. And, incidentally
again. | hold that Mr.. Hughes, by his con-
sistent and continuous course of emphasizing
"smaIl" betrayals of public trust above the
Usual general campaign issues OF tarin. etc.
is sounding a new idea in politics and patriot
ism. For he is doing more than any one man
has ever done before to awaken the American
people to the fact that, no matter what party
may be in power and no matter what nationa
policies or form Of government may be IN
force. there can be only individual and ma
tional unhappincss, injustice, suffering and
economic loss if those intrusted with pubic
office are false to their trust by putting per
sonal gain and party expedlency ahead OF
duty to country and the welfare of the peo-
pie as a whole. ClllhENohir'

Whitman and Defeat.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In reply to your editorial, What Are
Republicans Going to Do?' in this morning S
issue, | would say offhand they are going
to name Whitman and go down to an in
glorious defeat.
As between Seabury and Whitman. the in
dependent voter will no doubt select Sea-
bury. There are about 100000 of these voters
in this state and they have natural hatred
of governmental extravaganza.
To take no notice of the Whitman 100000
trip to the Panama. fair, the increase of
nearly s150O0,0O0 in the states expenses
will be quite enough to satisfy the ordinary
voter that he has had more than enough of
Whitman.
The Governor expects easy going in the
primaries, because he relies on his friend
Murphy to send word to McCabe, Kelly Shee-
han and Fitzpatrick to help out" in the
counties where the resentment against Whit
man is most pronounced.

A Refreshing Contest.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The announcement OF the Likelihood
Of former Ambassador Bacons entering the
primary for nomination for United States
Senator is refreshing. II seemed as If eX-
Congressman Calder who has been moving
heaven and earth" for years to secure the
Senatorial! nomination, had the thing all to
himself
Calder has attended and GRATED at state
fairs. church fairs. horse shows and Masonic
gatherings Of all grades, and has endeavored
to make il appear that he is specially htted
for the United States Senate. At numerous
outings of all parties of Assembly district
organizations he has hobnobbed with low
brows and made himself appear as good
fellow. and while among contdants has UNI
bosomed himself and bewailed what his can
vas cost him two years ago. and giving that
as reason why ne should be given the
nomination now.
Mr.. Bacon's entrance will lend dignity to
the contest and leave no doubt in the minds
of intelligent Republicans and Progressives
that he is eminently fitted for the United
States Senate and deserves the honor IN
preference to Calder.

licits. 1t may be heard almost any night
in the women's court from some uniortu-
nate there arraigned, even though she
knows her defence must lie only in her own
word. by force of circumstances discounted
when opposed to that of the detective VINO
arrested her. There can be small doubt
that some detectives do make the initial
advances, thereby making themselves
morally accessories TO the crime for which
they subsequently arrest some miserable
streetwalker, and it is an unfortunate
and grievous state of affairs.
If arresting these women and sending
them to Jail is the only solution OF tho
problem at present recognized by the
law. at least decency and humanity and
Justice demand that the agents of the law
should not themselves incite to crime.
Police Commissioner Woods should cause
an investigation, not only of this Brook
lyn case, where the circumstances so far
disclosed warrant one, but of the whole
system of work of the vice squad

name considerations can only be regarded
as sorry joke.
No Welching!

The street railway employees assert that
the New York Railways Company has vlo-
lated the agreement of August 8, by which
the partial strike was settled. President
Shonts insists that the company has scru-
pulously lived up to the agreement and
intends to continue to do so.
Which party is in error does not con-
Germ the man in the street in the least
degree-at this time. What concerns
him immeasurably is that the employees,
now pretty thoroughly unonized, threaten
to call a strike within twenty-four hours
if the company does not stop violating its
agreement" Notwithstanding the fact that
the employees, in signing that agreement
agreed to arbitratc all future disputes
The public had just enough of The
strcetcar strike to be certain that 1t wants
no more. There is no reason for one;
there is no excuse for one. Appeal to the
Public Service Commission for enforce
ment of the arbitration clause IN the
agreement will soon disclose the mems
grievances-if they have them-and right
them.
If the men, in spite of that agreement,
go on strike again, they will be beaten
and they will deserve TO be beaten. They
might fight the company successfully;
they cannot hope to fight the public sue
cessfully. In accepting the arbitration
agreement they pledged themselves TO
consider the publc's interests and the pub
lies right to transit facilities undlsturbed
by their private quarrels. Nothing could
be more fatal to them under those clrcum-
stances. nor more serious to the cause OF
union labor generally, than for them to
follow the leadership of that agtator who
declared
'If it comes to a question between the
interests of the streetcar men and the IN
terests of the public, ! say the car men
for me-
If they doubt that, let them try violat-
ing their agreement to protect the citizens
of New York!
