MADE BRITISH NAVY GREAT
According to Magazine, the Ground
Pond" In Hyde Park Awo<s
Ambition Of Youth.

Great Britain always has been a
great business nation, but she only at
tanned her position Of sea supremacy
In the eighteenth and nineteenth CEN
turtles
It came about In this way. A queen,
Catherine, cOnsort Of George H.. was
interested in laying out royal parks,
and in that end of Hyde park that Is
now called Kensington gardens she de-
cided whimsically that a patch Of wa
ter was needed. This is the famous
Round pond, the germ from which the
British sea spirit was born. London
boys began to sail on the pond little
boats of their own fashioning, but soon
shops sprang up to supply them with
"mass production pattern ships" and
there Is practically no amateur build
ing today. II became the fashion for
superior boys to wear sailor suits; and
paintings of little boys In the early
nineteenth century show that jaunty
ship in hand was considered artistic
and proper, too.
It was sea imagination that the
Round pond awoke in Great Britain,
and without 1t the greatest of fleets
would never survive. It is sea lmagf-
nation as national faculty that
America needs and must have.
There should be a Round pond for
boy ship experimenters ia every part
Of the United States.--The Nation's
Business.

Growing Roses in France.

The French farmers set their bushes
in rows about four feet apart on the
gentle slope Of the hills, and, so far as
Is possible. where they have a south
eastern exposure. Young shoots are
taken from fve-year-old bushes, and,
when they have grown, they are
trimmed to about foot in height, and
such buds as appear are picked of, to
preserve the vitality in the bush and
to assure large crop for the second
year.
After the bush attains the age OF
seven years it does not produce the
quantity or quality of oil, so It Is
pulled up and new one planted In
its place. The rose harvest begins
In April, runs through May and June.

Water stored in Form Of Ice.

With the idea of getting away from
the expensive construction of dams for
the purpose Of storing water, the sug-
gestion has been made that the water
be stored in winter in the shape Of Ice
and allowed to melt as it may be de-
sired in summer time. This would in
sure water in sufficient quantities for
small irrigation systems at least and
certainly would cut down the expense
Of storing. In addition to this II
would afford work for certain class
Of labor which usually is not occupied
At this season of the year.

THE PUBLIC COMES FIRST

There should be no semblance of high finance methods in the
organization of the new electric company for Maui. The community
has certainly had quite enough OF that during the past eight years.
What is indicated is a service which has no other object than to
supply first class electric light and power at the lowest possible cost to
consumers. 1t should pay a moderate interest rate on the money IN
vested, and nothing more. This is certainly no place for promotion
stock or any other kind of profits except as just mentioned. For the
reason that there is little risk connected with the enterprise return to
capital should be low.
Nj OF which is simply the ordinary present day practice m the mat
ter OF public utilities. 1t is the people that makes them possible and
it is the people that should control. The day of considering a public
utility a private graft to be exploited to the limit, is past. NaIuku
has had its experience with such Nerkes methods and is pau.
The day was, and with reason, when the owners Of a public utility
were looked upon as the natural enemies OF the community upon which
they had fastened. That day is about past and we now have, the still
somewhat novel experience OF finding communities in which the electric
companies, or similar concerns, are looked upon as legitimate and
benehccnt institutions, and the men operating them As really human be
ings instead of as ogres or vampires.
And because these changes are at hand, and because the old order
never can return, there should not be any idea Of big profits to be made
from the control OF the new Maui electric company. OF course the
concern must be locally controlled. We have certainly had a bitter les
son in letting an outsider cater to our needs. The suggestion that the
stock be distributed as widely a possible among consumers is probably
the ideal way, but in any event the motto of the new company must be
the highest possible service at the lowest possible cost. Any other
policy must sooner or later end in disaster.

.UH1r ABour SUcH BOOZE ENF0RCEMENT2

The Hlo PostHeraid is certain that the island of Hawaii holds
the palm as the most notorious viOator of the national prohibition law
in the territory, if not in the United States. But in support of its con-
tenton the Big Island paper paints a picture OF a condition that applies
equally well to Maui. 1t lays the blame for the disgraceful violation Of
law to the lencncy of the United States district court in Honolulu.
As the PostHerald says, it makes no difference whether one be-
ieves in prohibition or not-no good citizen can Condone the deliberate
violation of laws on the statute books. If one law can be fOuted others
may also be disregarded with equal logic, something intoerable to CON
template under an orderly government. The Hlo paper cites the case of
a man who had handled thousands of dollars worth of liquor illegally,
who was let off with a light fine. Here on Maui we have had the same
experience, the fines being in fact so light as to constitute but a mild
III
form of licensing oa.
1t is not to be wondered a. 's""snuat Gems to be growing
,worse-that every Saturd, ngnt and Sunday r an increasing orgy
OF drunkenness, ar" at common report and the evidence of ordinary
intelligence t. . 10 the ease with which liquor may be procured by
9those desiring it, Nor is it to be wondered that the police are perhaps
AJAX in their duty in the matter of ferreting out the guilty; for the courts
vhave certainly not supported them in their past efforts.
g 1t were silly to contend that the disgraceful situation cannot be
prevented. Under the present law it may be made so extremely
hazardous that it can virtually be wiped out if the courts will do their
1t is all right to temper justice with mercy, but the dly-daly
vice that has been melted out in the past in enforcing the prohibition

leNcan and some other situations.

Rehabilitation Plan
Scored By Raymond

Caustic criticism of the plan to lease
all highly cultivated lands in Hawaii
to the highest bidder, Upon the eXpira-
ton of existing leases, as provided for
in a bill now before Congress, was
voiced by DR.. ]. II. Raymond in an ad-
dress at a mass meeting at Hilo this
week, says the Hilo Post-Herald. DR..
Raymond confined his remarks to pro-
posed changes in the land law.
After discussing the several features
of the bill, he took up the proposal to
parcel out some 100000 acres among
the Hawaiian people under the reha-
Utilization scheme.
AN area of 200, 900 acres of land,
mostly barren, wnd-swept claim the
right to be called land" he said.
Imagine, if you can, placing Hawaiian
people, unaccustomed to farming n
r%anching, upon lands of this character
and expecting them to remain, even
if it were possible to produce ay sort
of a crop or raise any number of ami
mails proftably upon the same"
He declared he believed he had
shown beyond a doubt that it would be
physically impossible for anyone to
go upon the lands designated by the
bill, and succeed.
Il regard this whole scheme" he
continued, "as the most barefaced at
tempt at land grabbing tha6has ever
beer tried in the territo 1t is the
greatest insult that pbssibly be
offered to the Hawaii. Cr people.
at is my belief from the reports that
have come from Washington and from
the reported statements made by the
members of the Legislative committee
before the committee or territories,
that the so-called rehabilitation
scheme is nothing more than a lame
excuse to repeal the 2~5-signature
clause, the 1000 acre clause, and give
the favored few the right to grab the
last few acres of government cane
lands and all Of the good pasture lands
that the government possesses"

Our Contemporaries
CARRY ON. HAWAII. CARRY ON

(Star-Bulletin, April 18th, 1920
We are met this week to common
crate, with solemn dedication of +
selves to the work Of the future, the
centennial of the coming of western
world culture to Hawaii, Pacific out
post of Christianity. 1t is by peering
into the future, not by a review of the
past, glorious as it has been, that we
may find u greatest inspiration for
the work that lies beyond. 1t is a
time for the eXaltation of the spiritual,
pot for the dedication of the material.
1t is hardly necessary, indeed futile,
to spend our energies in retrospeCtion.
The record of the past century in
Hawaii is written high and clear in
bold relief by the splendid works,
both spiritual and material, of Chris
tan men and women; an imperishable
record for reading by those who will.
The master craftsmen of the past have
left their OWL lasting monuments. We
of the present cannot, if we would,
dim that splendid record, but we can,
if we will, add chapters of achieve
ment that will not suffer from COM
parison with those already written in
to the archives.
we nave me SOllu lalO
to endure for all time by the loving
hands of the fathers, it is our task
to carry on the work, nor falter in the
performance of our share Of the tenn
pie building that must be carried to
completion by those who will follow
after in the untold centuries still held
within the womb of time.
Garry on, Hawaii, Garry on" Well
may we make that our rallying cry.
Hold high and carry on brightly burn
ing torch of Christian progress,
brought to US in triumph by the
architects of a century of big accom-
plishments and left in our custody to
keep it aflame for the guidance of
those who must carry on in their turn.
We are crossing the threshold of
the century of Christian Hawaii. If
we build squarely on the foundations
Of the past We need entertain no fears
for the future.
1t is entirely fit and appropriate that
this time should be selected by the
Hawaiian Board of Missions for the
creation of a fund of $400, 900 to en-
able Hawaii to Carry On. The fires
of faith, the Christian faith, alone can
7s'se in one solid tie of Americanism
the eddying currents of our mid-PaCi-
tic melting pot.

The Trail and Mountain Club of Honolulu is planning an excur-
sion to Maui in the near future with a view of making the ascent Of
IIaleakaa. Maui cannot afford to overlook this visit. The club has
grown in recent years to be one Of the best advertising agencies in the
territory In taking Maui into its scope of endeavor this Island has
everything to gain. Haleakaa is our greatest attraction and we can
scarcely afford not to take full advantage of such an opportunity as the
coming OF this club means to exploit it to our benefit.

Boy Scout Camp Is
Plan Being Considered

The Maui Boy Scouts council has
been called t. meet at the chamber
of rooms, Wailuku, next
Tuesday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock to
consider a number of important mat
tiers of details in connection with the
work.
One matter that may have attent-
ion is the plan of taking the various
scout troops on a camping trip for a
week or two. If the idea finds APP
prevail the question of time and place
will remain to be determined. 1t will
also have to be decided whether it
would be pest to handle all of the boys
at one time or in relays.
One idea is to establish the camp
on the beach at Makena which is a
new section of the island to most of
the boys. They would be able to fish
and swim and explore for as long as
seemed desirable. 1t might also be
possible to provide some boating.
