If the purpose of the Pinkhatn touring conimissiotilxvas to
read just the labor (i ucsl ion s as to prepare the way for the in
troduc Lion of a limited 'amount of Chinese field labor, the planta
tions should support the movement to the extent of taking on a
la rye proportion of white skilled labor, ex'en if if. should not in all
respects prove as desirable as Japanese skilled labor. The reason
for this will be seen by rending the article in this issue, clipped
from the-Garden Island, relative to the big Japanese strike, at
Eloe).?. Hut for the presence of a sut'icient number of available
Portuguese and Chinese labor. Manager St od art would have been
compelled to yield to the demands of a well organized Japanese
labor union, in which all classes struck in support of the cane cut
ters. Oiuur two such strikes, if successful, would so strengthen
such movements that Japanese labor on the plantations would be
a constant menace
It i a singularly shortsighted policy on the part of the Inter
Island steamship companies to place such excessive freight rates
on country produce and minor productions. Take the Hamoa Dis
met tor instance, in that .District are lands available lor many
small farms, where vegetables, chickens, fruit, butter and other
minor productions could profitably be raised. Yet no one will em
bark in such industries and see all their profits eo to pay freights.
True the steamer managements may reply that there is no money
in limited amounts of small shipments, but if people knew that
they would be treated fairly in the matter of freight rates, it would
not be long before every week's steamers would be loaded with
country products for the Honolulu market, to the exclusion of
California products.
j5 The news that the leaf hopper has been driven out of llonoka
by the application of scientific methods, the fact that the Japanese
beetle flourishes only where those are who are too indifferent to
apply the remedy, and the sure and definite disappearance of
lantana before the ravages of blight and the egg fly, all are texts
from which needed sermons should be preached. God made the
earth for the use of man not for iBsects and it must have been
xvith a loving touch that He rounded out arid completed our beauti
ful islands. The experiences of southern Cahformans in success
fully combating the orange scale, as well as our successes here in
combating pests should be sufficient proof that no insect pest need
bo feared for long, if energetical y attacked.
5 In view of the fact that much of the cane producing lands on
the Islands is assessed at from $50 to $60 per acre, when its known
value is much in excess of that amount, it is interesting to spec
ulate on whan would be the result, if the New Zealand method of
taxation were adopted. In New Zealand each land owner makes a
return of his land values to the assessor, and if the government
deems that the value is too low, it may add fifteen per cent to the
returned value of the land and purchase it at that figure. On the
other hand the owner may refuse to return the value of his land,
in which case the assessor fixes the assessable value, and if-ie is
too high, the owner may compel the government to purchase M at
the price fixed by the assessor. ;" -

S35 A movement is on foot which, tf successful', 'wi'.i'- culminate
during the coming week, in the incorporation anfieriVargement of
the News plant. It is about time that this should be done, for the
only paper and job plant -on Maui 4 'serves a larger field and a
more useful careerman it ha? 'heretofore occupied. Its inception
was modest, aucHn a limted jyav it strove to upbuild the interests
of Maui, with, what sivcess others must judge. But the Maui of
today is not the Maui of five years ago. Progress in every depart-
(,ment from the production of sugar to the growth of strawberries
is notable-and an enlarged and broadened newspaper and a round-
- ed out and completed job plant are needed, if the News would keep
puce with Maui.

5 Christmastide is a fitting time to pay a tribute to the early
missionaries who brought civilization, education, a new code of
morals aDd the Sunday morning church bells to the Islands. One
may sneer at the early missionaries as much as one likes, but their
work stands today as a triumphant vindication of the work they
did threo quarters of a century ago. We can see and appreciate
all they did, so far as results go. but what we do not see, save in
glimses down the aisles of the past, is the heroic and self sacrific
ing daily drudge by which they wrought out the fruits which we
are reaping todiy. All honor to the early missionaries,

5 The cultivation of merchantable rubber on Maui is no pipe
dream, and the only drawback to the industry is the length of
time,-some five or six years-which would he required to mature
the crop. Now would be a good time hoxvever to organize a com
pany with Maui capital and begin a rubber plantation.

Chancellor Commander, Otlicers

A pleasant duty has been placed
in in) care to perform this evening,
which while accepting a an lienor,
vet I must, though reluctantly, state
mat it seems to me lather a inis
p'aced confidence by those who con
fcrreil the honor upon me, seeing so
many present this evening xvlio
doubtless co. 'Id have done more
justice to the occasion than can
reasonably be expected from me.
llovevsr, the uistake has been
made, and I will not retreat. On
the contrary I will endeavor to do
the best I can under the circum
stances, and you will agree xvi'h me
that no man can do more. I found
this envelope on my way heiv, and I
sincerely hope that its contents will
assist me in saying something that
will prove appropriate for this
occ.sion, without , which I might
have been left "horsde ccmbat."
Thoiast three words being foreign,
and as I only got it from hearsay,
I hope you will pardon me for using
tlis term. I said I found it, yal I am
willing to deliver it to any one that
wiil prove property. As there seems
to be no claimant, let us proceed
to dissect its contents, xvith the
hope that my expectations, just
mentioned, may he realized. MAN.

word is correct M. A. N., MAN.
It is a very good joke, but let us
consider it seriously, rlow small,
anJ yet what an amount of signif
icance are contained m these three
letters forming the small word

call him a MAN, and a foitunate

a man to whom mankind are breth

do good his religion, and that is
religion enough to satisfy the most
exacting. Ho is a man xvhose mind

principles of uniform rectitude and
integrity, a mind the same in pros

forgiving to his enemies, in itself a
cardinal virtue even in the greatest.
