Wanted..-A Longer Camp

Two weeks of camp life has filed the national
guardsmen at Kawailoa with enthusiasm Ind de-
sire for more ~@"&. III
Reports from the camp show that officers ana
men getting some irst.cass intensive training,
and it is really pity that the camp must break
up so soon Most of the officers have expressed
themselves as anxious to remain for two OF three
months and while some of the meT naturally do
not care to leave their employment business for
that length of time, there seems to be general de
sire that the camp be continued for some weeks at
least. ..'.E' =
Considering the trouble, expense and difficulties
solved in organizing the camp and bringing guards
here from all over the islands, only two weeks
in camp is something of an anti-climax. 1t is valu
able, of course but four weeks would be much more
valuable, and two months more valuable still.

(By Staff Correspondent With the

In a speech delivered to the people
of Kauai on Monday evening of this
week in the Lihue armory Senator
Henry L. Myers summed up his con-
illusions from his two weeks visit in
these islands, declaring himself on the
land question and the Nawailiwill
breakwater question and pointing out
Or is facing now. S=...: t..
Il am ready and willing and do
now take up your proposition for
breakwater at this port" Senator My
ers told the Kauai folk, and the big
armory resounded with applause. Even
greater applause came few minutes
later when the Montanan told his list
eners that he was friend of the
homesteaders and believed in home
stealing from the bottom of his heart.
Senator Myers came out in absolute
opposition to doing anything in con-
gress toward changing Hawaii's pres.
emit homestead act until the territory'S
own legislators show by vote that they
want it changed. Thus far they have
not done so, he said, but had rather
voted against a measure of the recent
session which would provide change.
In his opinion Hawaii has two or
three great problems, the senator said.
These were the problem of its races,
the problem of what is to be done
with the younger population when it
shall grow up and the problem of its
lands. These he believes are greater
than those confronting any other unit
Of the nation, for they concern not
only Hawaii, but the country as
whole. He was willing and anxious to
do his part to meet them fairly and
squarely, he asserted. -.~

A Root of Democracy.

This country cannot AFFORD to do
anything at the present time that
will tend to destroy the wonderful
advantages that have been brought
about through the present application
Of the second-class postal rate.
Yet that is the danger that con-
fronts US if Congress should persist
in raising the rates on this class of
mail at this time Aside from the
arguments of a statistical nature and
the logic that can be brought against
a curtailment of the service that
should certainly result from an in
crease, the vital principles of democ-
racy are threatened. And it is for
the democracy of the world that we
are going into battle.
Is there any one element that has
worked for a true democracy in
America as the second-class mail rate
has produced? Isn't the very fact of
our incompatible public school sys-
tenn hinged upon the workings of this
plan that was conceived and estab-
lished more than half a century ago?
Hasn't America been able to bring
iiliteracy to the lowest possible mini
mum through this system that was
seen and appreciated by Abraham Lin
coin? There is too much at stake for
US to consider or act upon any such
revolutionary theme at this time.
Every argument that is being
brought forward by proponents of the
bill now was brought forward at the
time of the adoption of the second
class rate and those arguments were
waved aside then in a decisive man
ner.
Back in 1895 it was demonstrated
conclusively that the transportation
of milk in forty-quart cans could be
maintained at cost of one-third of
a cent per pound. And this transpor-
tation required the returning of the
empty cans over the same route. max
ing practically a double haul. This
double haul Is eliminated with the use
Of mail bags which carry second-class
matter, because mail bags are as use
full in Portland. Oregon, as they are in
Portland, Maine, and even II the per-
centage on the Eastern coast is great
er. the return can be negotiated in
many times less space than the re-
turn OF milk cans. q

ed on this group the following week.
It will cost $4,000, cover 100 acres
and be sufficiently large to accom-
modate 15,O00 horses. Contracts for
the 10000 feet of ceiling needed for
the base hospital have been let. De-
liveries are TO be made as soon as pos
sible, for the workmen will finish their
task on the Infantry barracks in the
week ending August Is, and they will
be put to work on the hospital and

Best Service Column In City.

Robert W. Maxwell. Nrmer officer
of the Marine Corps, has been com
missioned a second lieutenant from
June "A, 1917, and assigned to duty
at Marine Barracks, Quantico, Va.
In addition to the decision to pre-
pare the Forty-seCond Division of Ma
tional Guard for early duty overseas,
1t has been decided to prepare a Sec
ond division of National Guard troops,
composed of organizations from States
not represented in the Forty-second.
The second contingent for duty abroad
will comprise some 5000 men, and will
include the New England National
Guard. To prepare for this, some OF
the regiments in Massachusetts, and
other States, are already having their
strength increased to $500. by DARTS
from other regiments. Definite ar
rangements have been made to expe-
dite the transport of troops across
the ocean, and there will be no delay
in this respect. The proper convoy
of the transports has received the
utmost consideration and the expert
ence of the great movement of Brit
ish transports is being taken advan-
tage of. 1t is understood to he the
intention of the War Department to
send National Guard divisions across
the Atlantic sooner than was origi-
nally planned and this scheme will
facilitate the training of other troops
at the camps evacuated.

How He Stood on the War.

A white man saw an old coIoret
man, and said to him: Uncle. this
country is in war with Germany; how
do you stand as to its outcome, and
TO % YOU want to see win?
The old colored man said, Boss, what
g. .lg Tor anyhow?
The white man said: II is just like
tins uncle, you see the President is a
Democrat; his Cabinet is Democratic
the Senate is Democratic; the House
of Representatives is also Democratic
and at the last Presidential election
this whole country went democratic
and now the President has declared
war for the purpose of making the
whole world democratic.
The old cclored man said: Boss,
what are the Germans fighting for?
The white man said: Uncle, tht
Germans are opposed to universal
democracy. and they are fighting to
make the world Republican.
After a little hesitation. the old
colored man said: Well, you see Boss
it is just like this: Ise been a Repub-
lican all OF nv life, and If the Ger
mans are fighting to make the world
Republican, 1 hope the Germans will

the chief beneficiary so far as
South American trade In cotton
goods is concerned. Now. however.
little or mo imports of these goods
reach South America and in some
of the republics there is desperate
need of cotton goods. That is true
especially of Colombia. The repre-
sentatives of Colombia who are now
in the United States hope to be
able to make purchases of cotton
goods in sufficient amount to meet
Colombia's need. This should re-
suit in a large demand for the kind
of cotton goods which is manufac-
| tured in the South. II A market
for these American-made cotton
goods is secured in South America
now there should be no reason why
1t cannot be maintained after the
close of the war although of course
I England will as soon as possible
after the war is ended attempt to
regain that trade.
The reports which the represent
atiyes of the South American re-
publics who are now in the United
| States bring to this country sug-
gest that with perhaps one or two
| exceptions all of the South Ameri-
can republics while maintaining a
sort of neutrality are nevertheless
really in sympathy with the bellig-
erents who are opposing Germany
| and Austria. 1t would not cause

buying Fewer Luxuries.
Although detailed reports from
Washington show that the American
! people are buying fewer Iuxuries so
| that the imports of these articles
have fallen off, nevertheless our Inn
; ports are increasing. In this state
ment is to be discovered the demand
which American industries of all
kinds are making for raw material
or half finished products of a kind
which can be better obtained in for
| eign markets than in the United
| states. If We are falling off in our
imports of luxuries and precious
stones we are gaining In our imports

American industries and gaining rap

Of food and forage, have recently
been made in this country by rep
resentatives of Russia and it is pre-
sumed that the export of these COM
