In The Race
Dr. Raymond's announcement of
his candidacy for Hip delegatcshlp In
the forthcoming pactions, which is
published In this issue will be read
with much Interest by nil concerned.
The doctor evidently believes Hint, he
enn rely for success on a large inde
pendent vote and so addresses himself
strongly to this element of the elec
torate. The primaries, of course, are
intended to Rive p. fair show to all
comers, and, inasmuch ns Raymond
has chosen to run on the Democratic l
ticket, he Is entitled to receive the I
inirest kind of a deal from the parly. '
It goes without saying that if he Is
nominated at the primaries, he will
Vve the united support of the party, i
If he is defeated by some other Demo- I
cratic candidate, we believe the Doc
tor is a pood enough sport to lend his ,
entire Influence towards the election
of his successful Democratic oppon
ent. I
The Democratic party locally has ,
within recent years had the fact
driven home quite forcibly that it is
on'y hy hanging together, exercising
Mutual forbearance and unselfishness,
that the party can secure any kind
of success. We cannot hope that all ,
memners or tne party will think ana
net evactlv alike on all questions of
detail, although on the broad funda
mental principles of our party there
must be something approaching un
nr.lmlty. In the history of the Territory since
annexation there has never been a
better time than the present to build
Hi and strengthen the Democratic
party. A real red-hot campaign of ed
ucation, to begin ns quickly as possi
ble, is what is most, needed to accom
plish this object. New Freedom.
Denaturalize Disloyal Citizens
An alien who secures American
citizenship should be jealous and
proud of the honor bestowed upon
hitn and whenever it is found that
naturalization does not include real
Americanization his citizenship should
be annulled. Especially is this true
of citizenship granted to former Ger
man subjects, who alone of all the
people of the world have been able
to secure American naturalization and
still retain their German allegiance;
who alone of all the people of the
world have been able to take the oath
of loyalty to the United States with
a mentral reservation. Honolulu has
had two conspicuous examples of dis
loyalists. Geory Rodiek betrayed
this country for Germany; "Doctor"
Schurman, in a published pamphlet
and in an interview written out by
himself on the eve of hostilities, dem
onstrated that he regarded Hun-land
before America. We believe there is
sufficient proof against both these
men to justify the cancellation of
their naturalization papers. Then
they could be interned, where they
belong. Advertiser.
On To Maul!
President Wilson has given his en
thusiastic and unqualified indorse
ment to conventions of American
men and women called for serious
purposes of community betterment.
Such a gathering Is the annual
Civic Convention, which this year Is
to be held on Maui. There is no good
reason, for not holding It; and many,
good reasons why It should be held.
A wartime convention, with a war
time program Is very much to the
point. The mere meeting and ex
change of friendly ideas is valuable;
the carefully-prepared papers and
thoughtful discussion is valuable;
even the furbishings of fun and en
tertainment have a definite value.
So far as Honolulu is concerned,
this community should send a big
delegation to Maui. The trip is short'
and even in the press of war-work
most of our business leaders can Well
afford to spare the time. It would be
a splendid thing if a large number of
our older businessmen would go to
the convention, for never has it "held
more possibilities of patriotic demon
stration. Star-Bulletin.
Presumptions Gall
Considering that it was Rodiek
and his circle who put Hackfeld &
Co., where It is today outlawed,
suspected and so generally condemn
ed that It has to be wiped out of ex
istence through reorganization to pre
vent its being wiped out completely
otherwise any squeals from him,
about what he is going to get out of
the business, come with a very bad
grace. As the Star-Bulletin remarks,
Rodiek ought to be very glad that he
is not In jail and should have sense
enough to keep very quiet about his
share of the slavage of the great com
mercial institution he helped very
materially to wreck. Advertiser.

Maui Boy Writes From
Boston Navy Hospital
The following letter from a Wailu
ku boy who is now in the navy may
interest his friends, who, however,
will be sorry to learn he has been ill.
Ioanc Keehu was formerly a helper in
Dan Carey's blacksmith chop. The
letter is ns follows:
U. S. Naval Hospital. Chelsen,
Boston, Mass., July 9th, 1918.
Editor Maui News,
Wailuku, Maui.
Dear Sir:
As I thought you would like to hear
from me 1 am taking this method of
telling you how I like the U. S. Navy
and what I think about the war.
At present 1 am in the U. S. Naval
Hospital at Boston, Massachusetts,
but I nm expecting soon to be well
again and when I leave henVl expect
to over after the Kaiser.
I like the navy fine and 1 wish the
people nt home were as much in
earnest about this war as the people
In the U. S. are. We are all fighting
for one great cause, "The cause of
Humanity", and the sooner we pull
together the sooner we will win this
war for humanity. I hope my own
people will not fall short in their part
of this war and that we can all put
our shoulders to the wheel and help
to put Germany and the Kaiser off the
map.
Very sincerely your friend,
IOANE KEEHU.
Maui Asked To Help
Harry Lauder Fund
(Contributed.)
An appeal has been made by Harry
Lruder (now Sir Harry Lauder) to
all Scotchmen, and those of Scotch
descent, to assist him in the formation
of a fund of 1,000,000 for the benefit
of Scotch Sailors and Soldiers who
suffer serious loss through their serv-
ce to their country in this geat war.
He has made special appeal to the
Scotch in Hawaii and in response to
this call, a meeting was held 1st
month in Honolulu and it. was resolv
ed to make every effort to raise at
least $5,000 as Hawaii's contribution
to the fund. It was realized that in
these days when there are many calls
of this nature to be met, the amount
of the individual gift may fall short
of the real desire to help forward
such a good cause, but "every nickle
mak's a mtickle" and as it is wished
to close this special effort promptly,
ill those who have not yet responded
o the appeal are asked to do what
they can to brin.ur Maui's total up to
a goodly sum without delay.
While the appeal has been address
ed specially to Scotchmen and those
of Scotish descent, any contributions
will be gladly received from others
who have a mind to help Harry and
at the same time show appreciation
of the faithful work done by the sons
of Scotia.
Such contributions may be remitted
either to D. B. Murdock, Paia, or to
Bishop & Co., Honolulu, Treasurer of
the Fund.
Secretary McAdoo has called upon
all local draft boards to acquaint
drafted men with the provisions of
the soldier-insurance law and to urge
every drafted man to take out this
Insurance. The boards have been fur
nished with literature to aid them in
this educational work.
The law affording insurance to our
fighting forces has well been called
the most Just and humane provisiori
ever made by a nation for its soldiers
and sailors. The Government and
the American people recognize the
UiHtice of affording this protection to
the men who risk their lives for their
country and to their families and de
pendents at home. It is only just to
themselves and to their families and
dependents that our fighting men
avail themselves of this opportunity.
Every American enlisting should
take out this insurance and carry
with him into danger the heartening
knowledge that whatever happens
himself and his dependents are pro
tected by his Government.

ROOF PAINT FOR TREE
WOUNDS ECONOMICAL
FOR SEALING ABRASIONS
Many orchardists and tree surgeons
have found that the best and most
economical way of treating tree
wounds of all kinds is to cover them
with roof paint. It is easy to apply
and farmers throughout the country
have used it with benefit in the treat
ment of abrasions, cuts and grafting.
It is heavy enough in body to form a
hick coating over the wound, thus
preventing insects and the elements
from harming the tree. It is also
very easy to apply.
. A professional tree surgeon and
nnineil"wh iajtakins care of some
20,000 trees, writes enthusiastically
about it for us on citrus trees. It
is", he says, "the best thing I have
ever used or heard of, and being so
well satisfied I heartily recommend
Orrmi t. Roof Paint to any and all
orchardists whd may- !&. interested in
sucn a painr. -
The use of this paint is undoubtedly
the best, most convenient andecon
cmieal way of healing abrasions- ot
trees, and it greatly prolongs their
life and productiveness.
SUGAR
Radical restrictions in the use of
sugar during the year beginning June
1st, 1918, have been announced by
the British Ministry of Food, with re
spect to manufacturers other than
the makers of jam, condensed milk,
and beer. The total quantity of su
gar which may be used during the
whole year ending May 31, 1919, is
25 per cent of the quantity used by
'hese manufacturers in 1915. The
order applies to manufacturers of
confectionery and chocolate, pastries,
biscuits, candied peel and preserved
and crystallized fruits, drugs and
medicinal preparations, mineral wa
ters, other beverages (except beer
and stout,) any other products for
human consumption and any manufac
tures not for human consumption.
On The Other Islands
Major Harold M. Clark, the papular
army bird man, who earned fume by
being the first aviator to fly from Ho
nolulu to Hawaii, wan arrested last
week by the military authorities
charged with having given David Kn
hanamoku, a civilian, a ride in his
machine. The act charged is a breach
of military discipline.
The army and navy committee of
the Honolulu chamber of commerce
has endorsed the plan of organizing
the 6th regiment National Guard of
Hawaii to full strength. The quota
from Oahu will be 700.
Fleming And Low May
Lease Kahoolawe
Eben Txiw and D. T. Fleming have
applied to the land board for a 21
ve:T lease on the island of Kahoo
lawe. The island is shortly to be ad
vertised at an upset rental of $200
per year. A condition of the lease
will be that the lessees must exter
minate the wild goats which have
long defeated the efforts of the for
estry bureau to reforest the island
and conserve the water.
William R. Bartells, of Honolulu,
was badly lacerated on the leps and
body while swimming at Waikiki last
week by what, he believes was a shark,
but which Hawaiian fishermen are
convinced was a big eel. Bartells
'"corded in frightening the monster
off, and was later treated for his in
juries in fhe receiving hospital.
Aliens To Be Interned
Dr. H. E. Clemens, the alien enemy
dentist, and William Wedemeyer, an
other alien enemy, both of whom have
been in custody for some time in Ho
nolulu for disloyal utterances, have
been ordered turned over to the mili
tary authorities for internment. It is
understood that both men will soon be
sent to Fort Douglas, Utah, for internment.
Boys Dies From Fall From Bicycle
Joseph Leal, Jr., the 14-year old
son of Probation Officer Leal, of Ho
nolulu, and formerly of Maui, died in
the Queen's Hospital last Friday night
from the effects of a fall from bicycle.
The boy went over a bank in Kaimu
ki in trying to get out of the way of
an automobile.
Hawaiian Sugar To Go To Atlantic
The Sugar Factors Co. has been ad
vised that probably 30,000 tons of the
present crop is to be carried to At
lantic ports for refining and a portion
probably directly to Europe to save
transshipment. A number of large
vessels are to be sent by the Shipping
Board to carry the product. The ad
ditional cost to the planters of this
policy will be about $12 per ton for
transportation over that of Pacific
coast deliveries.
Honolulu Brewery To Quit Business
At a stockholders' meeting held
last Saturday it was decided to not
attempt to continue in business in any
manner after prohibition goes into ef
fect on August 20. It was voted to
reduce the capitalization from $500,
000 to $250,000, and a dividend of $5
per share was declared. Later the
machinery and other assets will be
sold. It is t.aid that another dividend
of $10 per share will be declared be
fore the property has been sold. It
has been proposed to continue busi
ness as a "soft" drink manufactory.
The Union Grill, one of the old time
restaurants of Honolulu, has closed
its doors on account of war condi
tions. The place has lost about half
of its working force to the army, and
its business was seriously affected
when Oahu went dry.

PROMISING RESULTS
FROM POTATO EX
PERIMENTS AT HAIKU
' The Haiku branch of the Hawaii ex
periment station is at the present
time harvesting a potato crop from
experimental plantings ot a large
number of varieties, the results of
which promise to be of much import
ance. One variety which has just
been dug matured In just 10 weeks
from planting, and yielded at the rate
of over 17,000 pounds of merchant
able potatoes per acre. The plant
ings are all from selected Beed grown

President Wilson says: "The prac
tice of Individual thrift Is a patriotic
duty and a necessity."
Class -Sfvlen May Be Called In Draft
Approxiimitlyl000 more draft re
gistrants may becalled to the colors,
it was reported today", in, order to
bring the National Guard regiments
to their full war strength of 3034 men
toSv-cegiment. The 4200 originally
called, ifia-. thought, would meet the
requirements,' but. losses in this num
ber due to physical abjections and
those who have failed tc?-cspond to
their summons, have materially-lessened
the number available, according
to army headquarters. To make up
the deficiency a new call will lie
made. This is certain to affect all
of Class 1 and some of Class 2 registrants.

No Internment Camp For Islands
Hawaii Is have no alien enemy in
ternment camp according to a commu
nication from the adjutant generals
olliee of the war department. The
wilier says lie was directed to repre
sent Secretary Baker's view in send
ing the communication. The reason
why there is no internment camp to
tie located here, as given in the let
ter, Is that the detention of the
dangerous alien enemies is otherwise
arranged for.
