 FACTS AND FICTION. During the first week of President Wilson's stay in Paris, he visited the famous base hospital at Neuilly where he was shown some remarkable results of modern surgery. One of the most in- teresting cases was that of an Ameri- can soldier, half of whose face had been shot away, and who had had { new face constructed and was actually chewing gum at the time of the presi- dents visit Oddly enough, a new novel, "The Man Nobody Knew" by Holworthy Hall (Dodd, Mead & Co., has as it's basic, incident the creation under like circumstances of a new fact for its hero who returns to his homo city unrecognized and rehabilitates his former unsavory reputation before making himself known. Thus fact anG fiction once more join hands.

 "FROM CHAR TO KAISER" is pictorial record of the betrayal of Rus sia by the Germans, compiled by Cap tain Donald c. Thompson. Captain Thompson must have had g. wonder full opportunity to snap his camera, judging by the pictures he has gath cred together in this 200-page volume. Of all the war pictures that I have seen, and there have been,-I was about to say millions,-a great num- Der of them, none possess the terror and realism and ghastliness that are found on these pages. This is a vivid portrayal of the greatest revolution the world has yet known, in which ITO, ,000, 900 men and women threw off the yoke of a cZar's autocracy to fan into the beastly clutches of a kaiser. There is no need of a text, to accom- pany these pictures. They tell as vivid as story,-more vivid, perhaps,-as pen could ever unfold. The pages are large and the price of $500 is mod crate.
 IMPRESSIONS OF THE KAlSERs is a newly arrived Harper publication, from the pen of David Jayne Hill, former United States ambassador to Germany. In this book, MT.

PEACE OR PIECES?

1t is the duty of an editor to set forth for the readers OF his paper
the best opinions obtainable regarding pertinent subjects of the day.
but without a doubt there are many editors in the position of this one
who is all at sea regarding the Shantung question. Obviously it was
not the just nor fair thing for the Paris Council to cede the Ger
man concessions in Shantung to Japan. Personally we cannot see
why China should not have been given back that which was rightfuly
hers, but if we would believe the Preadet, it couldn't be did" Be
tween Japan and the other Great Powers, President Wilson seemed
to have been placed between the devil and the deep sea, and if his word
is to be taken, his assent to the Shantung steal was merely a choice of
two evils.
1t took a long time and much pickering before the present Covenant
10 the League of Nations and the Peace Treaty were finally given
signature by the powers, and when it was done, all breathed "a sign of
relief and said Wei thank goodness that's over" 1t seems however,
that it isn't over at ALL It's just begun, because our Senate, especially
the Republican side, has decided that the League of Nations is an
infamous piece of business and Shantung has been outraged. Having
worked themselves up into a proper state of indignation over the mat
ter, they now seek to remedy the situation by offering amendments to
the Covenant and the Treaty. Even the staunch Republican papers of
the country do not voice approval of the amendments proposed, and
believe the adoption of the amendment to substitute the word China"
in place of Japan" in the paragraphs dlsposng of the German posses
sons in Shantung, is not a solution of the problem, but would merely
add to the difficulties of the situation. Some even are disposed to
look upon the proposals of the Republicans who have opposed the league
covenant and treaty most bitterly a a piece OF political chicanery with
a view to cOuding the issues at hand to the subsequent benefit of them
selves. We hate to think such things of members of our own party,
but we know that they have been done. We are in hopes however
that this time such is not the case, but feel that if the Senators are
so bitter against the league and treaty as submitted, that the wisest
Germany without a league of nations, covenant, and withdraw our mem
bership from the league as at present formed, to join again at some
time when we can have more unity of thought and faith in the ideal
which President Wilson now visions. Perhaps if the question can be
put off long enough until after the next Presidential election, at which
time it is the hope of our party to put a Republican candidate in the
chair, we may be able to come to a peaceful decision regarding the
treaty, but at the moment it is difficult to tell what the result will be.

BIG PROFITS and NO sayings

A resident of Kipahuhu, we Judge from his name that he IS a
Portuguese laborer, has written a letter which was published in the
Star-Bunein last week, protesting against the II. I. l." as experienced
on Maui. The letter is as follows:
Sir: Europe is not the only place which suffers on High Cost Of
Living, but also outside of it and even the most secret part of the world
Hawaii, a little dot of the globe, is violently shaken by this dreadful
visitor. The inhabitants, especially the poor laborers, are its chief
victims.
Here in Kipahu1u, Maui, a half isolated place, you can find labor
RS who are daily protesting and camoring against the scarcity and
the weekly raising of prices of goods and foodstuffs, especially rice,
of rice is fixed to-Hawai rice $4, Japan rice SIS, and California rice
$17, and probably it will increase next week. Laborers with families
are almost hopeless to live on account of their weekly increasment.
One reason for this hopelessness is that we, the laborers, receive
only 81 a day. Just you try to think of this. myself pay my board
500 a day. need cigars too, which cost me $40 a day. Now how
much is left of my pay? Only $W, and need some more. How can
buy that thing need?
Suppose wages per day (Which is s7O be raised a little bit high
e? viii it be enough to answer our demand?
ZACARIAS ABEILA.
Kipahulu, Maui, Sept. II.
His demands are modest, rice and cigars, yet this laborer finds
he has but seven cents a day left, over and above his food and smoking
materials, with which to purchase other necessares. His remedy is
to add to the wages he is now receiving. We would, however, suggest
that getting more wages will not remedy his dilemma, for every time
wages take a boost other things do too, and it's a case of everything
chase round Robinhoods barn. Perhaps the reduction of commodities
might help considerably. Reduction of commodities could easily be
made on Maui without the merchants losing their reasonable profit,
we believe, for W e re personally aware that many OF the merchants
are now selling commodities from ten to fifteen cents higher, and some
times even more than do the Honolulu merchants. We cannot believe
that the freight rates between Honolulu and Maui are so exorbtant
as to make such a difference in price necessary, and as a matter Of
fact much of the freight that comes from the mainland costs no more
to come to Kahului than it does to Honolulu. One merchant of Maui
was heard to boast that he made 1000 a month profit. 1t hardly seems
to us fair that the laboring man should be gouged to make al enormous
profit for the merchant of this kind. 1t is no wonder that the labor
ing man who works honestly and conscientiously for his wage declares
that all big business men are crooks. Boasts such as these re not
calculated to give the worker any other idea of the big man of business
or the big merchant. We suggest that the Maui merchants be salts
fed with a smaller profit and give the working man a chance to get
something out of the wage which he now earns.

The old passeth away and

Text: The old passeth away and
the new cometh in.
In the light of a new day that
which was, is no longer. The old
Race track and Grandstand at Kahu-
lui is no more. A wonderful change
has taken place on this site-it has
become the home of the Maui County
Fair and Racing Association. This
body will be at home to the general
public on October 8, 10, and IL.
The passing away of the old is re-
miniscent of the days of yore when
horse racing was the sport of kings
but at this period of aggression and
advancement sentiment must be
sacrificed, otherwise there will be
naught but retrogression.
Maui to a man is back of the Fair.
More than a hundred persons are en-
ployed in the present undertaking
which will cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The brain and Drawn of
Maui's sons are at her service; the
best is none too good.
The Valley Isle is leading the way.
While there have been Fairs hereto
fore there has never been a perman-
ent location for the Fair. Maui is
seeing 20 il that this oversight on
the part of the people of the Terri.
tory is remedied. The site, it is true
is not large but nowhere a Mauite
will argue, can a more ideal location
be found for the carrying on of such
an enterprise.
In the change from the old to the
new nature has not been sacrificed as
is often done in many undertakings
but rather the surroundings have
been heautified. Thirty-two acres O
swamp land, whose only redeemins
feature was the Race track was al
that Maui had 10 show before the pres
ent work was launched. During the
past months the grounds have beer
brought up to the grade of the Pun
meme road, at some places six inches
at others four feet. Roadways have
been constructed by the County. Ever
thirty prisoners who toll day after
day at Kahului, have grasped the
spirit of the undertaking.
Maui owes much to F. F. Baldwin
president; r. A. Wadsworth, vice
president; d. H. Case, secretary ant
D. C. Lindsay, treasurer as well as tC
the Executive Committee of the Asso
citation, composed of d. c.. Lindsay

are in charge of the building con
struction; William Walsh, superin
tendent of the Kahului Railroad
grounds; Ed. Deinert, electrical worl
and E. G. Keen, inspector of thu

The Race track is superior to any
and the view obtained from the stanC
is uneXcelled. The West Maui Noun
tains lay off to the west and on theil
slopes sugar cam and kiawe trees
blend their colors. Majestic Halea

SHOULD PLANT BETTER COTTON
Experiment Stations Have Demon
 strated Advantages to Be Gained.

Fifty-eight experiments and tests made by the Arkansas Experiment Station since 1909 show that high yielding varieties of cotton are de- cidedly more profitable than the av- craze varieties used in Arkansas, &C., cording to w. E. Ayres, Agronomist, of the University of Arkansas, who says:
 High producers have been worth 43.8 per cent more than the average of all varieties used It has been es- timated that Arkansas farmers can buy purebred seed of the varieties known to be best adapted to local conditions and it would pay since the tests at the station have shown that the net increase in the amount of cotton produced would be worth $23,- 100000 annually. This would build and equip 5000 farm homes better than the average in the state and would put running water in 5000 ad- ditional homes."
 Write to the Arkansas Experiment Station for Circular No 54, which gives a detailed description of the re- suits of experiments conducted at Scotts, near Little Rock; Van Buren, Mena, Mariana, Wynne, Imboden, Danville and Hope.
