ALGAROBA SEEDS
* CONE FROM SOUTH
Pods Essentially Same As Those
of Local Bean--South Amer
lea Probably Original Source .

A consignment Of algaroba seeds
was received by the United States FIX!
pertinent station this week. II is OF
interest to know that the pods are es
sentially the same as the pods of the
local algaToba and in this they differ
from the seeds of similar species ne
ceived from various parts of the world.
This makes il seem very probable that
the original source of the local alga
roba trees was somewhere in South
America. Seeds Of what appear TO be
the true algaroba have been obtained
both from Peru and Argentina. These
will be planted and the resulting trees
tried out in comparison with seedlings
produced from the best, trees in the
islands. ...s
Want Best Pods .s
For the past three years the Experi
ment Station has been endeavoring to
locate the trees producing the largest,
fattest pods so that these could be
propagated and any new paintings of
algaroba made from the progeny Of
these especially valuable trees. Two
or three trees bearing large crops of
fat, long pods have been located Cd
Oahu, but it is not unlikely that there
exist other trees which produce JUS
ms valuable crops Of pods and which
have not vet come to the attention Of
the Experiment Station. Any person
knowing of the location of trees bear
ing exceptionally large pods will con.
fer favor upon the local Experiment
Station by calling attention TO the
fact. One tree has been located, the
pods Of which weigh one ounce each
the same being about ten inches in
length. aE ~. a..
Should Utilize Eyerything
A tree rather closely related to the
algaroba is the carOb tree also known
as the 81. John 3 bread tree which has
much larger pod than the algaroba
and it was thought that the earob tree
might possibly be grated on the local
slgarOba tree, thus increasing the size
of the resulting pods. This, however
proved impossible to accomplish and
renewed work has been undertaken
looking to the increasing of the size
of the algaroba pod by selective breed
ing.
There are special reasons during the
war why Honolulu should utilize every
pound Of food, feed and forage, and
il is coming to be recognized more and
more that It will be necessary to keep
up the maximum utilization Of all such
crops for many years to come. Wit
this thought in mind, the possibility
establishing thousands of acres OF
heavy yielding algaroba trees is one
item Of patriotic aud economic cOnscr
walton that merits the attention of the
thinking public.

Autoeraey. American Model.

There Is no use denying the fact
that the President and the admins
tration are weaker with Congress and
the people Of the United States than
, at any time since the gage OF bat
tie was flung down to Germany.
The reasons for loss OF confidence
are plain. He Is leading the nation
a faster pace along the road OF autoc-
racy than 1t can endure. He Is at
tempting to concentrate such power in
himself as to destroy utterly the pro-
cesses of democracy In the country
during the period Of the war.
In Britain there have been two cabl-
net upheavals since the war began.
In France they have been even more
numerous. Germany Is the only na-
ton In Europe which possesses the
premier Cor chancellor9 with whom the
war was opened. Not even such an
autocracy as Austria Hungary has
averted drastic governmental changes.
But the Wilson administration.
short OF q complete national up
heaval, Is in control OF the nation for
more than three years to come; so
far as administrative control OF the
war is concerned. It can snap its I'm
gers at pubic opinion II It cares to
do SO. The President Is asking for
power which, possibly, is necessary
in this historic war period; but It is
well to remember that, no matter how
he uses that power, wisely or un-
wisely, he Is an autocrat who needs
have no fear Of public criticism or
public displeasure Of the kind that
made Lloyd George premier Of the
British empire in the place of Asquith.
He is absolutely assured of control of
the government until the next nation
al election.
In the autocracy which the admin
istration is attempting to create, the
President will have to delegate much
OF his power to his subordinates. He
himself cannot shoulder more than a
fraction of the burden. II he could,
perhaps the creation of absolute pow
er In so many directions would cause
less apprehension. But are all his
Cabinet members oficials who have
commended themselves to public con-
idence? Is not the acid test of the
great new problems OF war tending
to show them to the world in their
real light?

A Leader in Retreat.
New York World.)


If Chairman Kitchin of the House
Ways and Means Committee is cor
rectly reported. his objections to the
rewriting of the war-revenue bill are
as poorly based in law as in logic.
1t is true that revenue bills must
originate in the House, but the Sem
ate's power to amend is unlimited.
For years it has been the practice
of the Ways and Means Committee to
report revenue bills so crude in many
respects that the Senate Finance
Committee has been compelled to re-
cast them. While the House origi-
mates the bills. as is required by the
letter of the Constitution, it violates
the spirit of that instrument by leav-
ing the real work of perfecting such
legislation to the Senate. Mr.. Kitch-
ms threat to deadlock the measure
because duties that his committee has
shirked have been laboriously per-
formed by others can hardly fail to be
resented.
1t will not be so easy to correct the
mischievous effect of some Of the
chalrman's other utteranCes. His re-
mark, for example, that the enact
ment of the Senate bill would make
this a rich mans war and a poor
mans fight is worse than false. The
enemy is eager to believe such senti-
ments as this, and there are SYM
pathizers with that enemy within our
own borders who will not fail to quote
these words, no matter what the
Senate's final action may be.
So far as we have observed, only one
class has hoped to profit by this
war. and that is made up of dema-
gogs in both parties who. like Mr..
Kitchin. do not hesitate in a great
crisis to array the poor against the
rich.

Washington Leads.

Washington has every reason 10
feel proud Of its contribution to the
liberty loan fund in so much as the
hsures now available show that the
Capital leads every other city in the
country. proportionately, in the mum.
Der Of subscribers to the loan. Con.
servative estimation of the amount
subscribed in this city shows that
Washington more than doubled the
figure allotted to it.
The publicity committee Of the To-
cal banking association estimated last
night that there are about 5000 sub
scribers in Washington. and that the
amount subscribed would reach 49,
OOO,O0e.
OF course, the primary credit for
this remarkable showing, which
proves that the people of the Capital
lead the country in their financial sup
port, goes to the people themselves
who have demonstrated beyond a
doubt their patriotism.
But the people of Washington must
in turn give the credit to those who
made the showing possible by actual
work in behalf of the loan. The lib
erty loan committee of this city,
headed by John Poole, has since the
time the loan was announced worked
night and day that our city should
stand high among the cities of the
country in regard to subscriptions.
The figures show how admirably
they have succeeded. and the people
OF Washington are feeling proud to-
day that the city possesses such pub
Ic-spirited citizens as Mr.. Poole and
his assistants, not only those on the
committee, but those volunteers who
gave their services as speakers for
the loan campaign.

WEIGHING MAIL
is IN PROGRESS

General weighing by the govern
ried on all American railroads began
on March 81 and will continue for 80
days. Notice of this fact has been
sent out to Southern Pacific employees
by II. p. Thrall, mail traffic manager
of the company. Thrall explains that
the object is TO determine actually
what pay the roads will earn under
the old system of payment and the
new one now being tried out involving
a space basis.
Both the weight of the mall" says
Thrall, "and the space it occupies on
each train will be carefully tabulated.
Then the remuneration due the road
on either system will be determined
and submitted to the Interstate Com.

finitely decide with these facts as a
foundation what fair basis would
be.
