Maui News wishes to all Of its readers a Merry, Joyous Christmas.
THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTlIAS

Throughout Maui the spirit of Christmas is being outwardly mani
tested perhaps as never before. Such manifestation appeared a week
ago, on the day the schools closed, and will continue for several days
to come taking the form of Christmas exercises, Christmas celebrations
and community trees. 1t is the spirit of giving which is in the ascend
ant, the spirit which had its highest eXempihcaion in the Christ, in
He who gave Himself for mankind, who laid much stress in his words
upon giving to the least giving without hope or expectation of a reward,
msehsh giving.
Thus il is in the community celebrations that Christmas on Maui
is made typical this year. In the past, families have had their trees
and invited in friends and the children of friends. Churches have each
had their trees and their Christmas exercises for the members OF the
flock. 1t has remained for the community tree and the community eN-
ercses to embrace all the members of that community and thus to
Upify that Christ, whose birthday is observed tomorrow, gave for all.
1t is in that respect that this Christmastide on Maui is more beautiful
than ever before. 1t is a recognition OF the oneness OF humanity as
Christ taught it, of His gift to all as He told it.
1t is tor the churches to tell, each i'll its own way, each i'll its own
words, the most beautiful story the world has ever known, the story
of the birth of the Babe in the manger in Bethlehem. The whole com
munity in uniting in giving recognizes and brings home the recognition
of the greatest gift that ever came to the world, one manifestation of
the divine character of Chris. BY community trees is followed His
teaching OF love for the child, for all children, as Christ made it clear
in word and deed, the doing of it unto even the least of these. Thus
the community tree, Is it has been seen and is being seen on Maui this
year, is symboical of the gift of Christ to man and it is as such symbol
ism that it is most beautiful. Taking those aspects the community
tree has a new meaning, a fuller one than has had any type of Christmas
observance before praCtced.
The extending of the period OF Christmas observance over a period
OF more than a week may also have a further significance for II 1t can
be kept in the ascendant for days with active, outward manifestations,
SO may it also with less open manifestations live and flourish from
Christmas to Christmas in the lives OF the members of each community.
Therein lies a lesson that is truly worth while.

WORLD'S SUGAR CROP

Estimates of the next sugar crop of the world give figures loT75,
600 tons, the largest in three years, the first increase since l9l4-lo.
Such estimate is approximately a million and a halt tons more than
was the last crop, 100000 tons in excess OF that of the previous year
and $4,000 tons smaller than the crop OF the season before that, such
figures having been secured from Facts About Sugar. The increase
is chiefly in beet sugar countries and districts, the change in cane crop
figures owe last year being unlmportant.
There is little to be found in such figures to encourage a belief
that high sugar prices will come at any time in the year but, on the
the present discouraging quotations. 1t is true that $4,000 tons of
the increase is in the United States and nearly 100000 tons in the
Western Hemisphere, but, considering past demands and what may
be expected during the coming year, such increase should not be dfhcut
of absorption in the market and is not far from the requirement of this
hemisphere.
In considering the present price of sugar and seeking to forecast
the probable market for the year 1t must be taken into consideration that
the prices which proceeded the slump were such as to tempt other coun-
tries to make sacrifices in sugar consumption in order to gain unexpected
enable Orient sugar growers to pay large freghts on cargoes and still
secure profits beyond ordinary hopes.
Normal demand in the United States is such as to lead to the eN-
pectaion OF a rise of at least a cent or two. But SIX II seven cent
sugar does not leave a satisfactory margin of profit for Philippines or
Java sugar, after paying present day freight rates. When prices were
high such sugars, entered into competition with domestic sugars and
Cubas. Eliminating such competition a Strengthening and stablZlng
Of the market may reasonably be expected.
Relative to the demand it must also be borne in mind that consump
ton was materially curtaIed last year by reason of the abnormaHy
high prices, in some instances practically %prohibniVe. With refined
sugar selling at only a third or a half of last seasons prices increased
consumption may be looked for. But, there will be the fear of another
influx from outside sources and efforts will without doubt be made
to prevent undue figures. The tendency will be to hold the prices
down somewhat.
Thus the situation in the sugar market is by no means alarming.
On the contrary there is much to encourage hope in ii, at least the
hope that the prevailing prices for raws will be such as to enable
sugar producers to operate at a profit, though not at large profits.

WELL TO PLAY SAFE.

In the decision handed down by Judge Burr in the Mckay case
this week he cites a case that holds a deputy clerk cannot sign a certi-
hcate of naturalization. This brings many persons on Hawaii, a large
number on Maui to face a possibility of losing their franchise should
their right to vote be challenged.
In the course of the Mckay case it has developed that for a
period of some two months in the year 1900, just before election,
such certificates of naturalization as were then issued were signed by
the then deputy clerk, the clerk being away from court. Hence the
question arises, what would an election board rule if the right to vote
of a person holding a certificate SO signed by the deputy clerk were chal-
lenged, providing the challenger offer the ruling in that case in support
of his challenge? ii is not an impossibily that the challenge would be
sustained and the ballot refused.
On the other hand, as Judge Burr points out, a perfectly simple
way out of the difficulty can be found. Under the 1916 law persons
who have believed themselves citizens and have exercised the rights
of citizenship can take out forthwith the necessary papers. To do so
means the avoidance OF possible unpleasantness and the saving to the
county of possible court costs in cases which might be brought in
such courts. AS a precautionary measure it would seem sound COM
mon sense to take out papers as to which there can be no sueston.

a number of large concrete buildings in the more important centers.
Besides this there is the high school.
At the meeting OF the Maui Chamber of Commerce early this
month Senator Rice suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of Maui curtalng the
building program proposed by the department of public instruction.
He suggested that two buildings a year be undertaken and the pro-
gram spread out over a longer period in that way. AT the meeting
of the board Of supervisors, the first days session, before the matter
of budget was before the board, discussing taxation matters inform
ally Senator Rice made the same suggestion.
When the estimate for Maui was submitted to the board the
members were told how small it was compared with other county
programs. But the other counties are not approving such ambitious
programs as were indicated. So the question arises, shall Maui give
all that is asked for new school buildings or shall it spread its pro-
gram of building over a longer period?
In Honolulu two sessions a day in present schools is proposed by
Mayor Wilson as an alternative. Maui would not have to do anything
of that kind on a large scale.
The County budget has not been adopted by the board, and it is
still possible to reconsider the program. The board is trying to hold
down the tax rate. In the school building program there is an oppor-
tuniy to do some shaving and still not forego progressiveness in school
policies.

REIMBURSEMENT UNDER WAY.

Signs multiply that dehahon and readjustment of business is going
forward. Declines in prices Are following, one upon another and the
indication is that the first half of the coming year will see recesdons
which will materially relieve the burden of the consumer. From
Washington comes the report of the department of labor that in No
yember wholesale prices were lower than at any time during the war,
declines being registered in 1875, increases in Al and 81 being unchanged.
Lumber showed the largest decline, ~ percent, foodstufs went off
9H percent and clothing only AZ, the general average being 10 per
cent. In the Islands the declines thus far noted have been largest in
food stufs, potatoes and onions being the greatest, so that the Island
producer of vegetables suffers from the decline and does not gGn
commensuratey by lower costs on his own needs.
In the period of readjustment there are bound to be irregularities
and some may suffer. Already on the mainland the farmer is COM
planning that the declines have cost him disproportionately and others
are reaping profits that belong to him. So with the cattle grower who
can show how vastly greater, at high prices, were the profits of the
packer and merchant to his own as original producer. 1t is in such
commodities as cotton goods, wooden goods and especially in shoes
that the common people feel they have been constantly and persistenty
stung Tor many, many months past and in those lines they still de-
mand a readjustment.

WHO IRE FOREIGNERS

In another column there appears the complaint OF a good American
mother at the misuse of the word foreigners in a dodger advertising
a bazaar recently held at Paa. The use of the word was unfortunate.
douby so since 1e bazaar was held N a japanese language school house.
1t would Sem probable the word was used inadvertently but it may
readily be conceived, rightly or wrongly, to indicate the point of view
of the Japanese, especially OF the teachers in the Japanese language
schools. Quite likely the words in the dodger were translated from
advertising prepared in the Japanese language. If such is the case it
would indicate the Japanese, among themselves, term those of other
naionaites foreigners" though there may have been a mistranslation.
Such incidents as the one criticised tend to add to the antagonism
that prevails against foreign language schools and to substantiate the
claim that the teachings of such schools are un-Amercan. 1t aCcentu-
ates the need of educating the older Japanese in Americansm.
