Canada and the Canal.
T is beginning to be appreciated by outsiders, as well as by our
j selves, that completion of the Panama canal will work great trans
formation in commerce, economics, geography, population centers,
and travel. At this moment, perhaps, no people have a more lively
sense of the importance of the great canal than the railroad builders
and the people of Western Canada.
A peculiar rivalry has arisen between the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail
way and the Panama enterprise as to how soon each will be completed.
The builders of that road from Quebec to Prince Rupert, in British
Columbia, openly avow their intention of completing their Pacific
Coast terminal in time for the Panama canal opening, and of putting
on a line of steamers which will carry all the grain of Alberta, Northern
' British Columbia and the great Peace river district through the Panama
' canal to the ports of Europe. The Grand Trunk Pacific was to be
completed in 1915. Now that President Taft has announced'that the
canal will be opened in July, 1913, the Canadian railroad builders an
nounce that their road wiir be completed then, too.
All the Pacific ports of the United States and Canada are spending
millions of dollars to improve their harbors in anticipation of this trade.
There are in the making Northern Pacific ports that will prove the na
tural outlet for the great West, and the advantage of the cheap water
rates will give that Coast a boom which it has never before experienced.
If one considered the matter in a narrow parochial light, the digging of
the canal might be regarded as of no material benefit to the great lakes
district, but rather a detriment, because of the diversion of the chan
nels of trade, the upsetting of lines of travel and the formation of new
centers of population in the far Northwest, not contributory. But, as
a matter of fact, every dollar well spent on the Coast will help the com
merce of the whole continent.
Another evidence of Wailuku's prosperity, was shown last Sunday,
when the splendid new building of the Union Church was thrown open
to the public for divine worship. This is the second church building
to be completed within the year, both of which are an ornament to the
town and a credit to their builders. The enthusiastic comments of
surprise and satisfaction by the visiting clergy, when they viewed the
interior of the new church for the first time, will in some manner, re
pay those who have worked so faithfully to produce here a masterpiece
for the glory of God.
The Peace Kssay contest, for school children, an account of which
may be found in another column of this issue, should prove an incen
tive for every schoolboy and girl in the territory. The subject is one
on which columns have bceu written by all the great writers of the day,
and still much has been left unsaid. It is a subject close to the heart
of the leaders of the people in all Christian lands, and is worthy the
best efforts of our writers young and old.
You can always tell a cur by his yelp. The smaller he is the louder
his wail. No one ever pays any attention to them until they become
too obstieperous. Evidently the one in the office of the Garden Island
got tangled up with a plantation mule, and the latter has left his im
print where it belongs.
The hearers of Dr. Scudder last Sunday might profit immensely if
they would take his words to themselves and practice some of the pre
cepts laid down, in their everyday life. If a man or woman does
wrong tell them about it; don't tell their neighbor.
The committee of the Chamber of Commerce are having a hard time
finding anyone who is willing to be the Maui princess in the Floral
Parade. This should not be, as Maui has her share of beautiful girls,
who are also fine riders.
Motherhood.
(By Charles Eugene Banks.)
INSPIRING, proving, all-impelling word!
With thy sweet presence every soul is stirred
Sea-deep with music; from the rock unseal' d
Hy thy pure touch is grateful life revealed.
Then thirsting hope that only lack has known,
I'ear-lean, a-hungered, in the desert lone
Creeping like listless vagrant without aim
A fruitless circle, quickly is aflame
With holy joy that like an incense rare
Transmutes to bliss each worldly grief and care.
Yet little of thy grace and loving might
'Tis mine to know. I but reflect thy light.
For I am but the lesser of that twain
Which nature's longing would make one again.
Yet this I know: When all is understood
The universe entire is motherhood.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Paia, January 21th, 1912.
Editor Maui News,
Wailuko, Maui.
My Dear Sir: Please allow me
space in your paper to propound the
following questions in reference to
the Kuiaha-Pauvela HomisUads:
First How is it that there ap
pears to be no Hawaiians or Portu
guese applicants as members of the
various wttlemeut associations, as
advertised in your recent issues,
ulu n it is a well known fact that
both Hawaiians as well as Poriu
guet-'e, long residents in tin- same
District, have made iuquir'a s of the
different land agents for ihfni'iiia
tinii concerning the conditions to be
fulfilled lie fore making application
for Lits in the u've llomesii ads,
but as yet have be n unable to ti t
any satisfactory information that
would plac them among the various
Malihini names that appear from
time to. time in the list of proposed
homesteaders, much to the dissatis
faction of these poor and humble
Kamaainas.
Secondly The indifference of the
Land agents and that department
generally, has caused considerable
consternation among the bumble
citizens of Maui, who have for years
been waiting for information and
opportunity to take advantage of
our liberal land laws, and thus pro
cure for themselves a home tnat
every free American citizens lias a
right to, by act of Congress.
Thirdly What can be done, un
der such conditions that would
place a citizen of less pull and per
haps lets intelligence on a basis
with the list of Malihinis (who no
doubt will secure their homesteads,)
and thus disable him from securing
equal rights to a homestead which
certainly is much more preferable
than a list of "carpet baggers" who
for sure are looking for a wild cat
investment and not for a home.
You will please, pardon me for
taking up your valuable space, but
this is done by me at the request of
a largo number of interested voters
and citizens, who have but few to
champion their just cause, and
appeal for equal rights.
Humbly yours,
M. S. DEPONTE.
A Union Man.
Ben Lyons was drawn on the
Federal jury over in Honolulu last
week. The case was that of Emil
Scott who was charged with perjury.
In reply to several questions from
Prosecutor Bitting, Lyons said in
substance: "I am in favor of the
defendant because he is a union
man; I am a mcmU'r of the long
shoremen 's union . That fact would
lead me to have a bias in his favor,
and stronger evidence need to be
shown by the government before I
would find him guilty than in an
other case in which the defendant
was not a member of a labor organ
ization "
Judge Dole: "Simply because
he ljelongs to one labor union and
you to another you mean that you
can not try his case fairly, is that
what you mean?"
. Lyons: "I don't know what
union he belongs to, but under my
oath taken I am bound by the rules
and regulations of the union "
Judge Dole: "Do you mean to
say that your oath to a lahor organ
ization is stronger than the one
taken before this court, that this
oath of yours is so strong' that you
are disqualified to try any member
of a union from any part of the
world?"'
Lyons: "I would be more in
clined to favor a member of a
union."

I TH E WHITE SIX1' "
A man doesn't have to fee a mechanic to recognize the simplicity of the WHITE motor. If
he is at all familiar with the appearance of motors he will be likely to think, looking at a
WHITE, that some parts are missing. It is all there, however, and whatever parts have been
eliminated result in its efficiency, simplicity and economy of operation. To the average man
the WHITE motor is the most attractive part of the car because its probability to need repairs is
minimized, and, if it does need adjusting its construction is not so bewildering that he cannot
make minor repairs himself, however little he may know of mechanics.
Five Important Features of White Motors
First of all the fou. cylinder are cast en bloc -that is Id one piece. This construction gives a rigidity to the crank case and
keeps the bearings In alignment
The cylinder each have a three and throe-fourth Inch bore and Bve and one-eighth Inch stroke. The stroke Is very long In pro
portion to the bore, resulting In Increased power with less effort, which means maximum efficiency and gasoline economy.
There aro four forward speeds, wltb direct drive on tho third, which means a speed for every condition, giving greater road
efficiency, oud making It unnecessary to overtax the engine at any time.
.,, rfWILI.'IE'm,0,101'8 ?qu",pe'1 wltn 8 l""oymb radiator in which the cooling surface is practically twice that ol any ordinary
kind. This radiator Is the most efficient of which we know, and, because of its high cost, is used only In the better grade of cars.
A tkmblo oiling system is used. After lubrlcstiLg, the connecting rod bearings, the oil drops into the ernuk case, where It la
used in the regular splusn system. Besides being a very effective means of lubrication, the conomy of using the oil twice is
apparent. - The crank shaft casing and the side plates on the motor, which when removed make the crank shaft accessible, con
flues the oil to the Inside of the motor, preventing a general besmearing with oil which would otherwise occur.
