(Graham DAILY NewS.)
Inc bad condition of some Of Tazc-
well county's highways has taught,
1t IS hoped, lesson in road building
maintenance that should prove of
value in the future Tazewcll. like
most communities, the town of Ora
ham included, has been in the habit
Of building good roads at IN i'm
nense cost and then watching them
blow away and wear away, and then
finding itself in the position of hav-
ing to start in and do the work all
ovor again. Notwithstanding the fact
that we have been engaged in the
business of bonding and building
roads for the past eight or ten years
we find it difficult to reach the court
house during the muddy weather, so
bad are the roads in spots.
Some years ago Graham Joined
the county in bond issue, built a
new macadam street and than sat by
TO see the brig overloaded trucks come
IN and wear it away. This year il is
going to be necessary to begin all
over again and build new street for
more than one half of the distance
through the town is with hardly q
roadbed to start on.
ne point IS this: Once Il new sec
ton of road is provided, keep it up
for, stitch in time in road building
and road maintenance certainly saves
nine, as the saying goes, and we re-
peat, it is hoped that the road build
crs, authorities and taxpayers have
learned valuable though expensive
lesson, now that the new roads arc
gone and the work of starting in now
must be taken up or to the hub We
go, and who is il that is willing Ia
go back chug to the hole as of yorc
and stay there?

HOW ABOUT HOOVER.

Hot Springs, Ark. March /.
MIR. j. A. Leslie
Tazewell, Va,
Dear Sir:
sometime ago | noticed in your pa
per, The Clinch Valley News, an ar
ticle in which you were very strong
for Mr.. Hoover for president.
49,, am wondering now if you are
still as strong for him.
Our folks from Tazewell are all
well, and we hope to be at home in
about ten days.
Yours very respectfully.
The above came thru TUESDAYS
mail from Hot Springs. Ark, unsign-
cd, but the ear marks are plain. The
Clinch Valley News has not been
very strong for Mr.. Hoover for
President" On general principles. his
record has been such as TO commend
him to the public as an honest. cap
able man. He had been "neutraln as
to party politics up to the time the
article referred to was written. Since
then he has come out in the omen.
and declares himself, and seeks nom
ination on the Republican ticket, in
advance of the convention and the
platform.
Under the new conditions, all this
paper is willing to say is, that it is
Tor Hoover unless better man is
nominated, and certainly, up to this
writing, the better man" has not
declared himself candidate.
But, we do not expect to have the
opportunity to support and vote for
Mr.. Hoover, even should we wish to
do SO. He'is not acceptable to either
OF the parties now. Heretofore he has
supported Mr.. Wilson and his poll
cies. This made him non persona
grata, with the Republicans. His re-
cent "flop," if flop it was, renders

Here is Il question for this inquis

with his Wilsonian Democratic re-
cord behind him, will you vote for
him? Or, if he should be the nominee
of the Democratic party, with his Re-

HAVE I'VE LEARNED OUR LESSON?

Because a few men who first held the Island Electric Company
franchise could not agree among themselves all Wailuku district has
been paying the penalty ever since.
That was some 8 years ago. 1t is a long time.
For 8 years the community has been hampered in its development
and rendered uncomfortable through ali inadequate electric service fur

sea in guhe of a monopoly that CO ~ K shal eff.
And all because 8 years ao. Nlaui people careless of their
WIN interests. An ont der was permitted to step in and exercise a
'ontrol over the .ldre OF the community such as no man or group

it merely demonstrates that man made laws are not always right

But if the lesson of those 8 years Of discomfort has been learned
,Wa1uku the cost may not have been worth while. If we can now
st stand together it seems possible that we shall be able to shake
Ives free and secure a proper electric service at a proper cost.
We believe that there are citizens of Maui who are patriotcak
ing to estabiss new electric company and to operate it in the in
SITS of the people and not of themselves. If there are they are
ed to community support and to a just return on their investment
the community should never be permitted to be sewed up Is il

1t get anywhere unless we make a start. The time for kicking

THE NEXT CENTENNIAL IN HAIVAH
BY Rev. Hugh V. White.

Great things have been done in Hawaii during the past hundred
years. In business and in industry. in education and in the improve
ment of social conditions ne find much to wonder at. And n the
modern. progressive city of Honolulu the wonder OF these things was
impressed upon us throughout the centennial week.
But the primary purpose of the centennial was to honor the first
missionaries and to make known the fruits of their work. This is
than cases of pineapples, bags of sugar, great business organizations
to the ships that carry the commerce of a prosperous territory.
To develop and enrich the souls of men was the work of the
missionaries. That is a much greater thing than to develop the natural
resources of the islands and to enrich ourselves in so doing.
Where will the emphasis be laid during the next hundred years?
There is a tremendous temptation to us who are the heirs of the miss
ionaries to depart from their high purpose. We can easily become en-
amoured OF the material things to be gained here and forget the human
soil that needs to be titled.
Shall we let business, industry, the gaining of wealth dominate
us, or shall it be the great human interests of education, religion, the
raising Of the standards of human life all along the line? If we are
true to the fathers it will be the latter.
They travelled twelve thousand miles to carry Christianity and
civilization to the inhabitants of these islands. We do not have to
move. A great host of non-Christan people have come to us, drawn
by the needs of the industries of the islands. These people crowd about
our very doors and require of us education and Christian teaching.
The responsibility for this task rests upon the entire Christian
population. Every contact we have with these oriental folks, bust
ness, industrial or social, ought to reveal to them the Christian spirit
OF justice and good will. If we, by example and teaching, win them
to Christianity we shall do much more than bestow upon them the
benefits of our religion, which in itself is a great thing. We shall lay
a foundation of mutual confidence and goodwill upon which the ma
tons OF the Pacific may meet in lasting friendship. And we shall make
it possible for those who come after us to celebrate in 202O the achieve
ment OF a still greater thing than that which we have just been cee
brating in 1920.

nolulu, has been engaged by the
grounds committee of the Maui Coun-
ty Fair & Racing Association as su-
p~erintendcnt of the fair grounds, at

MaunaOlu Seminary To
Benefit From Big Fund

Maunaolu Seminary is one of the
five institutions which are to benefit
from the proposed centennial fund of
100000 which is being raised by the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association. OF
this total 100000 is to be set aside
as an endowment for the Maunaolu
Seminary, the Hilo Boarding School,

ed a notable purpose on the island of
Maui and aims to supply Christian
education to girls of various races
who desire to take advantage of its
ourse 1t aims to take students as
boarding pupils and gives them a
training in home life and home max
ing. Careful attention is given to
domestic science and sewing as well
as to the regular work of the curricu-
lum. This institution demands a
certain financial assistance for in
creasing its equipment, in order to
meet present day needs.

VIM. Bailey Kamaaina
Back After Long Absence

Maui is being visited since a week
past by a well known resident of
years ago, William Bailey, now of
San Francisco. Nj. Bailey was sugar
boiler for the Waikiki Sugar Co,
some % years ago, at the time when
the mill was located about a mile
further up the valley than it now
stands. Later he went to Oahu where
he boiled sugar for the Honolulu plan
tation, and still later he was with the
Maxwell company, on Kauai. Dur
ing his years in the Islands he was
able to make investments which have
enabled him to retire and he now
spends most of his time on the main
land.
II has been about 10 years since
Mr.. Bailey was on Maui and he has
been receiving a warm welcome from
his many friends among the Older
residents of the community. He
states that he notes many improve
ments in and about Waikiki, mostly
for the better, as well as in Maui as
a whole. He is considerably concern
ed oyer the labor outlook for the
future both in the Islands and on the
Pacific coast of the mainland, and be.
lieves that the real solution will be
found in the admission of a substan-
tial number of Chinese.
Mr.. Bailey may leave TO- ajnolulu
tomorrow or the first r o week
but he will not return lao coast for
several weeks. III

EXPORTS TO NEUTRAL
MARKETS DECLINING

NEW YORK, April 20-A compari-
son of the figures for the foreign trade
of the United States in January 1920
with those of January 1919 should
awaken Americans to the fact that a
creditor nation must also be a great
importing nation, according to a
statement by the National Foreign
Trade Council.
Last January the United States
had a very substantial excess of eX.
ports to all continents but in the
short space of one year, this favorable
position has been lost, and now our
exports exceed our imports only with
two continents, viz: Europe and
North America.
while our exports to Europe in.
creased 25 per cent, our imports rose
500 per cent. Exports and imports
with North America increased in the
same proportion. But while imports
from South Ameri' Were more than
doubling, our ey els to that cont.
ont were fall .Jroff one-third. Our
ca rOrts to Oc5 tnia decreased SO per
cent, but imports increased 25 per
cent. Exports to Africa decreased SO
per cent, while imports showed the
tremendous increase of 1000 per cent.
These figures show that our favor.
able trade balance only from
our trade with European countries
and that Il January trade would
show an unfavorable balance of ovei
$97, 1000, 900 if we were to leave Europe
out of consideration. TTr"0" the same
conditions, our foreign Cor Jan
uary 1919 showed a favorable elance
of SCI, 234, 900. al
he trend of our foreign trade
tn, fore, is very unsatisfactory. We
hate not succeeded in retaining the
business gained in so-called neutra'
or acknowledgement countries, and. oul
favorable balance arises only out o.
Il European commerce. AS soon as
production on the continent returns
to normal, we shall probably lose {
good part of this trade, and we shall
meet increased competition in the
markets of the Orient and South Am
erica.
"Uniess we desire to relinquish oul
standing as an exporting nation, We
must take trade with the countries o
South America, China, India anC
South Africa to offset the growth o
u import business. Already eX
change with these countries is I'm
favorable, and we are being forced
to ship large sums of gold in paymen
of our debts"

MICHIGAN INVENTOR GETS
$1,500,000 For NEW MACHINE

MENOMINEE, Mich, April 20-A
small news story on inventions has
brought $500, 900 to Marshall Burns
Lloyd, an inventor.
%arJ5veral months ago Mr.. Lloyd in
vented a new method for producing
baby carriages, woven furniture and
baskets. 1t was the only change in
the method of weaving wickers since
Jochebed, mother of Moses, wove a
basket in which Pharoah's daughter
found him on the River Nile. Soon
after Mr.. Lloyd invented a loom which
weaves wickers into any shape and
does so thirty times faster and better
than the fastest hand weaverS.
The stories of these inventions was
printed in patent journals and copied
by a trade paper in Milwaukee known
as -"P2c'"cges."- York repre-
sentative of Lusty and SONS, "don.
England manufacturers, read the story
investigated and reported to his
clients. They came here last week
and left with Mr.. Lloyd $1,5O0,000
richer. This huge sum entities them
to extensive British Empire rights.
Permits have been sold by the in
ventor in Canada, New Zealand and
Australia.
Mr.. Lloyd began life as a fish
peddler in Meaford, Canada, although
born in st. Paul, MINI. He was a
hotel waiter, street hawker of soaps
and cheap jewelry, mail carrier by
dog train and small manufacturer.
During his idle moments he tinkered
away at inventions but eve had
money enough with which to produce
big things until he sold a wire weav-
ing devise for bed springs, door and
table mats. This was followed by a
new method and machinery for max
ing steel tubing. He was dismissed
as an insane inventor" when he tried
to sell his patents to the steel cor
poration. Later Independent firms
which have since been absorbed by
the steel corporation paid Mr.. Lloyd
enough money for American rights so
that he could develop his wicker
weaving ideas.

High Class Work By High
School Girls Exhibited

Much interest has been manifested
during the past week in the exhibits
in. the Puunene Store and Wailuku
Hardware & Grocery Co.'S windows
of work done by the Maui high school
pupils of the home economics depart
ment.
The exhibits consist of dresses, III
derwear, smocks, and various kinds of
picture framing and examples of
household decoration, all of which are
the handiwork of the young women of
the school, and done under the direc-
tion of Miss McVay, the instructor in
that branch.
1t is the first time that this kind
of a display has been made, but the
encouragement that it has given the
workers is such that it will probably
be followed by others later in the sea-
son.

An APOLOGY TO MOLOKAPS WOAEN

The statement OF a correspondent published in the MAUI NEWS
yeral weeks ago to effect that the women of MOlokai are Indifferent
he suffrage movement has brought to our desk a number of vigorous
SITS and 1t would seem that this correspondent inter
d the sentiment of the MoOkai women correctly.
lis difficult to believe that MOokai women can be much different
an are women elsewhere in the territory, or throughout the world
or that matter. We know positively that generally speaking there is
he keenest kind of interest, not so much in the matter of securing the
franchise which is all but accomplished, but in fitting themselves for
nteligenly exercising the duties of citizenship.
The time is very near when the woman who refuses to take an in
est in public matters will thereby place herself in the Stacker class
