The Christmas Paper
The Christmas number of The
Garden Island, which will beissu
ed next Tuesday .will not follow ex
actly the lines laid down by holiday
or industrial editions of anv other
paper heretofore printed in Hawaii.
Orj-.anv.ations of every kir.d on the
isknd will be treated briefly, and
plantation "write ups" will be
of the briefest kind, the idei in
each case being to give the largest
possible amount of information in
small space. T h e information
however, will be up-to-date, and
the paper will serve as a handy
ready-reference on many subjects.
It is not intended to be a money
maker, and tor that reason no ex
tra charge will be made for adver
tising in its columns and no charge
whatever for business "writeups
In order to make that possible
expensive illustrations will be
omitted. It is figured that the
actual tn o n e v expense ot the
large number can be taken care of
by the sale of the extra copies of
the edition which it is purposed to
print. Further than that, the holi
day number will go forth to the
people of Kauai as The Garden
Island's ' ' Merry Christiiias"offer
ing. Orders for extra copies of the
pa;er are now being received, and
will be filled next Tuesday in the
order as thev appear on the list.
The number o t extra copies is
limited, but we are still hopeful
that all reservations niav be satisfied.

Rapid Transit Case
The skirmishing between the
Governor and the Honolulu Rapid
Transit Company will undoul.i.ed
ly develo. into a battle in which
the fur will fly," as the old say
ing goes. Every citizen is interest
ed in the matter, and will note
each turn of events with keen con
cern. The Rapid Transit people
would have the public believe that
the Governor has reallv caught
only a crawfish on his line; al
though the clnet executive seems
positive that he has hooked a full-
sized octopus. We shall see what
we shall see.
Double Schedule Wanted
The passenger service between
Kauai and Honolulu could be im
proved greatly by the simple ar
rangement of having the Kinau
make two trips a week in place of
one-setting the V. G. Hall, if
necessary, on the one-trip-a-week
schedi present followed by the
Kinau. the nr cter "w stands,
the Kinau has an) amount of spa
time on her hands along the Kat
coast and at Honolulu-more tha,i
sufficient for the two trips a week
proposed.
Kauai feels very strongly on
this matter. Present accommoda
tions are inadequate. Nobody
likes to complain, and yet every
body notices and feels the present
hardship. If the steamship com
pany cannot see it.- way clear to
give Kauai a large steamer, suiely
the double service of the Kinau
may reasonably be granted.
It is folly to say th.it the better
service would not pay. It would
create business, to say nothing of
retaining passenger traffic that now
waits over in Honolulu to catch
The military censors at Honolu
lu undoubtedly went far beyond
reason in withholding for near
ly two days the news of the naw.l
battle off the coast of Patagonia.
The information concerning this
battle reached Honolulu at 1 o'
clock Wednesday afternoon, and
long bifore that time was world
property. The wireless despatch
sent out of Honolulu two hours
later was silent in regard to it, tl e
news having, w e assume, been
blue-penciled by the censors The
next moining the same thing evi
dently happened, the details of the
battle being blue-penciled, That
afternoon a mere hint of the fight
and its results came through and
not until Friday morning did the
outside islands receive anything
like a connected report of the im
portant happening.
We are not (iteslioning the right
of the government to censor, but
we teel that a little common seine
should be used. There is no
now a German warship on the Pa
cine, and every other warship on
this side of the world probably
knew ail about the battle before
the news reached Honolulu.
e think the learned censor
strained himself somewhere when
he decided that to allow the news
to go out to the islands of this re
mote grr would endanger th
principle;, . neurality.
It is estimated that up t" De
cember 1 the war has cost Russia,
German, England and France
billion dollars each. That is at the
rate of three billion apiece a year.
A n English authority estimates
that the war will last three years,
by which time, at the present rate,
the cost will have been nine bil
lions each, which would mean
complete and obsolute bankruptcy
for each of the nations mentioned.
We predict that the pinch of pov
erty will bring an end to the strug
gle, if nothing else does, however,
in half that time.

The Historical Society
We were inclined awhile back to
feel that the Kauai Historical So
ciety, in delving into subjects
away from the island and only re
motely connected with any of its
historical features of interest or
importance, w a s iather getting
away from its text ' wandering in
to by-ways rather than keeping
upon the road originally marked
out for it. It is a satisfaction,
therefore, to note that the princi
pal paper--and. presumably, the
discussion next Thur-d.iy even
ing will be on Kauai, hi-tcrical
topics.

Carpetbagger Stuart
We do not know Judge Stuart
the new appointee to the bench in
Honolulu, save by sight and in
general way. He may be one of the
st learned men in the United
.ates for all we know. The m. li
ner ot ins reaching the bench in
Hawaii, however, is rank injustice
and an insult to this Territory. He
is an out and out carpet-b-agger
ana the incident ot his appearance
in official life here overshadows
the carpet-bag policy of t h
national administration after the
Civil War in the South, for which
that party was mot severely, for
years, scored by the Democrats.
We have, in other words, the Dem
ocrats doing in a most flagrant
manner the very thing which con
stituted their chief campaign mis
sile for years.
On the face of it it would seem
that Mr. Stuart was billeted for the
position he now holds more than a
year ago, and was sent down to
Honolulu to "hang around" until
he had obtained the residence
qualification necessary to his ap
pointment. It was a rank deal. It fairly
stinks.
