A Man Who Speaks His Mind Regardless.
THE special session of congress, with one conspicuous exception,
has accomplished little or nothing, says the San Francisco Call
The exception is, of course, the adoption of the reciprocity
agreement with Canada. For the rest congress has been busy doing
politics and striving with greater or less ingenuity to put Mr. Taft "in
a hole." The situation finds its analogy in Gulliver and the Lilipu
tians. The strings with which these little people have sought to bind
the president were not hard to break, and Mr. Taft has watched the
process with a certain measure of amused indifference.
The president stands firmly in his shoes and speaks his mind regard
less of its effect on his personal fortunes. There is nothing of the
trimmer in his makeup. A case in point is his veto of the statehood
bill on the ground that the Arizona constitution authorizes the recall
of the judiciary. Now, Mr. Taft knows as well as anybody that his
action cannot affect ultimate results in this relation, because the people
of Arizona can eliminate the recall provision before admission and will
be able immediately thereafter to vote it back again by way of amend
ment. But Mr. Taft was not willing to give approval, either implicit
or explicit, to a principle and a process which, in his opinion, are per
nicious and destructive.
In fine, the president is the sort of man who will make no compro
mise with principle and will not be turned from his purpose by the
fear of walking into a hole digged for him by his political enemies.
Indeed, some of these are already floundering in the pit they them
selves have digged.
Kiawe beans make fine beef. The Cornwell Ranch people appreciate
this fact. They have always contended that this particular piece of
land was of no use to them for their cattle raising. Now that it is slip
ping through their fingers they are determined that it shall be of no use
to anyone else. With such high handed rascality as it being practised
by this corporation, there is little reason to wonder that so many Ha
waiians are haole haters.
The many bogs and dump heaps which abound around the Oriental
quarter, seem to have received no attention whatever from our
overworked inspector. If he had backbone enough to enforce the clean
ing up of some of these pest holes, he might show some excuse for
drawing his salary.
We heard so much of plans being perfected by the Board of Health
under the old regime, that we expected something different now. It is
the same old cry of plans, however. Wonder what they do with all
these plans after they make them. They are certainly never put into
execution.
We would draw the attention of our readers to the advertisement in
another column, whereby they may obtain their favorite magazine at a
much less cost than if they subscribed for it in the regular way. This
requires no further comment. Just read the offer.

The letter by Mr. Bond, President of the Island Investment Co., is
worthy of attention. Mr. Bond puts the situation before the citizeus
in an open and straightforward manner.
The Claimants.
(By Bertou Braley.)
IF there had been papers when earth was created
From Chaos and gasses and such,
In headlines next day they would blandly have stated
The job wasn't anything much,
And each of the bunch would have claimed all the credit
For all the success that was scored
And unlike the tale as you've frequently read it
They'd barely have mentioned the Lord.
When Noah came home from his trip Araratic
The papers would doubtless have said
That THPY had advised his procedure dramatic
And paid for the ark, long ahead;
When Hercules worked at his hugest of labors,
When Joshua halted the sun,
When Caesar went after the Gauls and their neighbors,
When Hannibal's battles were won.
The papers, if such there had been in the ages
When each of these heroes bestirred,
Would surely have triumphed for pages and pages
Explaining how all that occurred
Was really caused by the editor's pencil
Or his typewriter's rapid "rat-tat,"
That the hero was only a tool or utensil
And a pretty blamed poor one at that!
When finally all shall be over and finished,
The judgment day truly a fact,
We'll find that The Press with its zeal undiminished
Will shriek, while creation is racked;
"TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT!! THE UNIVERSE
ENDED!!!
THE WORLD IN A TERRIBLE MESS!
BUT HEAVEN'S ALL READY! ITS WONDERFUL!
SPLENDID!
THE CREDIT BELONGS TO THE PRESS!!!
CORRESPONDENCE.
Wailuku, Aug. 31, 1911.
To the Editor of the Maui News:
Since arriving in Wailuku last
Tuesday night, for the purpose of
doing everything possible on my
part to hasten the time of satisfact
ory electric light and power for this
and neighboring towns, I have
learned with regret, from various
sources, that even among men of
intelligence here, an impression has
been gained, from one source or an
other, that the Island Investment
Co., Ltd., does not intend to install
and operate an electric plant, but is
merely working up a re-sale of its
franchise at a profit to itself.
This notion is so rankly unjust
and at variance with the two mo
tives and intentions of the Island
Investment Co., Ltd., that I believe
I am warranted in writing you this
lftter to guarantee the Maui public,
through the courtesy of your col
umns, on behalf of the directors
and stockholders of the Island In
vestment Co., Ltd., of which I am
now president, that the Island In
vestment Co., Ltd., will most cer
tainly retain its franchise , for this
district and erect its plant as rapid
ly as the proper machinery and
materials (bids for which are now
being received in Honolulu) can be
got upon the site. '
Contracts for all but the building
itself and the labor on the pole
lines, will be awarded about Sep
tember 15, 1911. the delay being
made at the urgent request of sever
al prospective bidders, who are not
ready with their figures. Among
whom are the Hawaiian Electric Co.,
Ltd., and Alexander & Baldwin
Ltd.
The franchise is the property of,
and the plant will be installed and
operated by, the Island Investment
Co., Ltd., unless its attorneys final
ly advise it that its articles of asso
ciation do not sufficiently provide
for such a business; in which case
the electrical portion of its business
will then be independently incor
porated, the entire capital stock of
such subsidiary company to be
owned by the Island Investment
Co., Ltd.
Regarding the opportunity of the
Maui public to' share in the financial
burden and profits of an industry
destined to benefit every resident
and every business firm here. This
opportunity was granted after our
due consideration of several' reason
able arguments in its favor advanced
by more than one of Maui's best
known business men and endorsed
by others equally experienced in
the administration of public service
corporations. A block of 820,000
of the new capital stock was there
fore reserved for Maui subscribers.
with the hope that this amount
would be taken in small lots well
distributed among the future users
of our light and power. Of this
amount $15,000 is still available
and may be subscribed for, up to
October 1, 1911, at the Baldwin
National Bank of Kahului, or at
the First National Bank of Wailuku,
or at the office of the Island In
vestment Co., Ltd., in Honolulu;
in each of which places a first pros
pectus of the business is on file for
the inspection of those desiring to
invest. While more mature experi
ence with this particular field would
cause us to change some figures in
the said prospectus, if we were to
re-write it, the percentage of profit
on the investment shows up as well
now as ever, if not slightly better.
Trusting this letter may be of
true value to you and your readers,
as evidence of our sincerity of pur
.1 i . i
pose, our aeiermination ana our
desire to meet, and be met, more
than half-way in our efforts both to
benefit this community and to in'
crease the field of profitable useful
ness of the Island Investment Co.
Ltd., in the Territory of Hawaii.
I remain,
Faithfully yours,
ROBERT E. BOND,
President of Island Investment
Co., Ltd.
Rev. Amos E. Ebersole and family
returned to. Honolulu on this week'

ed the two months on Maui.
