The real fact h, that r.o one necir
to fret about a railroad. If we get the
breakwater, wei! have a rallioad, all
right. And In the meanti.-.;':, every
steamer that leaves :,'aw iliwili harbor
will go out loaded to the gua.-dn. And
we can haul v Ith our big power trucks:
ail the freight that Kauai can pioduce.
They Should Worry
When Hilo wanted a break water,
hbo got it. When Maui wanted one,
i-.h's got it. but. Kauai may not have
one, because the Honolulu Harbor
Hoard H.ayH hhe cannot. What though
an editor or two, a plantation owner,
a tiny babe, or a Honolulu what-lH-it
hhould be drowned coming aHhore in a
bumboat? What do they care? Their
H.alary Im corning up and their grub lh
going down. They hhould worry. The
public may go to the name destination
that Hilly .Sunday says- the hypocriten
are bound for. Ir. that the idea? And
should It prevail?
Ijo niickern come to the hurface in
rehpons.e to a courtly hayonnara? Can
you let down a bone fih hook, and
catch an uku without any bait? Ijo
all the fihh In the ocean hwlm belly up
every time a member of the Honolulu
Harbor Hoard goen down to Walklkl?
FLOWER LAND vs. SNOW LAND
It. in ho cany and ho natural tor one
to accept good fortune without a
murmur of thankfulnenH, and to ob
ject Htrenuoijiily when mlHfortune or
trouble of any kind comes along. We
of Kauai are prone to forget that
there are Ioh.h favorable climes, and
we go on day after day, (milling and
contented, an the cool breezes blow,

It seems difficult, in some insUnceji,
to make the foreign clement under
nurA the 'lu'-stiori'. .Strange a it may
seem, the grea'est difficulty i fwme
tirnej; met when an interpreter i? em
ployed. The interpreters no doubt
translate the 'iuestior. properly, but
par.y of the rn stj.c.ble over the mean
ing of the word "exemption." .Some
members of the board who are versed
in ' pidgin English" which is no gen
erally used h're. leucceed admirably
In Imparting information and securing
satisfactory answers.
The Japanese with one accord re
sent the implication contained in the
'question a.s to whether they have ever
b-en in the calaboose. ' Naw," th'-;-say
with some show- of f.rmr.'-:-. 'nev
er been jail."
Some of them heem to be the sole
support of a surprising number of rel
atives. Fathers, mothers, Kisters, broth
ers, wife, uncles, aunts, all seem to be
dependent upon one little man. And In
loos.t easc-H, these dependents are in
Japan, the I'hilipp.ne.-:, or in some oth
er far di-.tant lasd.
The House bill enrolling into the ser
vice of the I.'riited States the military
organizations of the Philippine Islands
was; passed In the Senate on the 20th,
and was: s ubse'iuently Higned by the
President. Under this measure, the
Philippine constabulary, the Philippine
scouts, and all the recently organized
Philippine militia, aggregating about
2'j.i.".'jli men. will be enrolled in the
American army.
Inasmuch as the Filipinos proved to
be such remarkable fighters during the
Spanish war, it would heem to be a
wise move to impress a million or two
of th'-m into service. Whether the
United Stales could do that under the
policy adopted In dealing with the Fil
ipinos, we are not advised. Hut one
difficulty with that scheme would be
that the Filipinos as a people do not
readily adapt themselves to the Amer
ican method of fighting, and it would
rc-'iuire considerable time to put thern
in proper condition to go to the front
in proper condition to go to the front.
RESCUE THE PERISHING
We have all heard of "stealing the
livery of Heaven to serve the devil
in," but there have been fewer in
stances of the apt application of the
term than in the case of one Dinah,
a Hawaiian woman of Honolulu, who
has been wearing a soldier's uniform,
in order that she might parade around
the Htrcets at night in the pursuit of
her dishonorable business, without
being held up by minions of the law.
Hut why send such a woman to jail?
It would be- far wiser to place her
under the care and instruction of the
Salvation Army Kescue Home, where
she would receive motherly advice,
kind treatment, and a chance to re
form. The object of the law should
be to uplift, not to cast down.
The government probably has use
for all of its aeroplanes, just at this
time, but after the war, what is the
matter with having the mails deliver
ed between the various, islands by
aeroplane? Nothing at all. With a
high imwer' d machine, we could get
mall from Honolulu- In less than un
hour. This will be brought about with
in a few years, and no one need be
surprised If iome of those Honolulu
girls drive some of the machines. The
Honolulu papers seem to intimate that
they can lly as high and as fast as
anybody.
Th'-ie is now a law against the
wearing of an army uniform by civil
ians. A kamaaina at Honolulu went
iwlnging along King street 11 few day
ago smoking a big cigar with the air of
a i.lnjr. when a soldier Hiiddenly point
ed a bayonet at him mid marched him
nlf to heail(ii:u ters because he wore
a shirt which i-eeiiied lo belong lo a
Hiildier'n uniform. However, it prov
ed to be another lextur". The citizen
is now afraid to walk up King street
wiili a pair of brown hIioch on, or 11
pair of leather leggings.
The fact that John 'I'. Hums, who
was 1'iirnn-i ly Consul (joncral In New
York, together with a party of other
prominent Mexicans, Including an
Admiral and a (ieiieral, ant in Home
lulu on their way to Japan has a very
sinister appearance. If they nm not
on Uu ii way to Japan with a view of
plotting against the I'nitcd Slates,
they ought to uie appearances for
lihi I. Honolulu people are ulways
holding up Hiimeboily. Why didn't
they hold up that crowd?

And its strongest editorial is the word

A table from Washington announces
thi-t Filipinos with their f.rst papers
cannot claim exemption from the
draft. That's a new one. A man is
not a citizen until he has completed
the legal process whereby he acquires
that status. Every subject of a for
eign country remains such until he
becomes the subject of some other
country. It is a well established prin
ciple of law that a Hritish subject, for
Instance, who has filed his first papers
to become a citizen of the United
States, is still a subject of Great
britain. and subject to the orders of
his sovereign. He is also entitled to
the protection of the british flag.
Wonder what bright man issued that
order?
The Honolulu Advertiser refers to
the report which the Hawaiian- Am
erican steamship company has just
made to its stockholders, and calls
attention to the special year-end dis
bursement tfl the stockholders of ti-'j
a share. With the six other special
dividends, and the regular dividend of
f 10, the Company paid to the htock
holders during the past year, a total
of 4'.'5. According to its own report,
it had remaining in the treasury, aft-r
having paid these dfcidends, cash se
curities amounting to $10,Ou0.0O'j.
That must be more than the Adver
tiser made, for that paper says it
leaves a very unpleasant impression.
"HURTING BUSINESS"
Here's a real good one from the
Honolulu Star-bulletin:
Some of Honolul's businessmen ap
pear to believe that this agitation for
a clean-up of vice "hurts business."
Nineteen hundred years ago there
was uttered a truth which constitutes
one of the memorable sayings of all
time:
"What shall it profit a man though
he gain the whole world and lose his
own soul?"
A number of American writers have
gained a national reputation by apt
imitations of peculiarities of speech
Indulged in by those who mj: not
thoroughly conversant with the Eng
lish language. The Honolulu Adver
tiser Is publishing a series of letters
which are both original and interest
ing. They are couched in language
such as a schoolboy, might use, but
the writer is peculiarly ingenious in
expression, and adds much to the
gaiety of natione by the real
humor and wisdom of ideas. The
"Kakaako, Korrespondwnce" is a very
interesting feature.
German oflicials announce that
woman nulTrage and kindred subjects
should not be agitated during the war.
Notwithstanding this, the question is
pressing for a solution, and three na
tional associations are openly cam
paigning for votes in behalf of women.
I low-ever, a ruler who has passively
stood by and seen women murdered
by the Turks, can hardly be expected
to look with toleration upon any
movement which would result in al
lowing tho women to vote. He knows
where he would go, if the women had
their way.
Legalized plural marriages, with
wives adopting temporary husbands
are being openly advocnted in Ger
many. It would be dillicult for one to
believe this, if we had not become
accustomed to hearing worse things.
Ill 1'aren the land, to hastening ills a
a prey, when morality dies, und sin
holds Kway.
Major Harold M. Clark has been
Hying all around und over Honolulu.
It is said that hoiiii: of the married
men and women in Honolulu want to
lly. It Hceins to be a very exciting
game. Still it is not the first time
the Honolulu people have been up in
Hi air.
Haiku, on .Maul, Is the ilrst postollice
on the islands to get a rural mail car
rier. The route is about ten miles
long. There will be no snow to inter
fere with tho 'arrylng of the mail.
A d'-mand has arisen for leather
made from shark skin. Tin.. Iudimtry
ought to result in the development of
a new industry. Plenty of sharks iu
Honolulu. Their hides ought to lie
tanned. Tough enough.
The Governor has issued a st.itft
ment In which he says he does not
consider that the Nawiliwili harbor
project is dead. Neither do we. It is
a vwry live subject.

Sir.-. Kidd. hi, Jrub drummer boy. j

When St Cuer.tin was evacuated, lant.
Mirh. he aw no recourse except to
surrender. He was given the third ,
degree by his captors, who threatened
him with dire results unless he would j
reveal the names of those who had
sheltered him. "No. gentlemen, I
r.ever gr, back on my friends." he re-
piled "Do what you please wi'h me.
but I will never reveal the Identity of
those who sheltered me." He was there- j
upon sentenced to ten years imprison-
mer.t He took his sentence without a j
whimper. Here's hoping the nervy '
lad will be released long before bis
set-tence expires.
Australia must be pretty well up to
date She is now planning for the
further development ''' th! agricultur
al rc-.-ourc-s af that country after the
war shall have ended. To that end
the government has sent out an agent
E. P. Richardson, who is agricultural
superintendent of the Victoria depart
ment of agriculture, on a six-months'
tour of the Unit'-d States, with a view
of obtaining information regarding the
newest and latest methods. Hawaii
could well afford to do likewise. Some
practical agriculturist, with initiative,
should be sent through the farming
sections of the states, and Invested
with authority to introduce newer and
better methods in Hawaii. He should
also be authorized to banish from the
land every pessimist who interfered
with plans for a better Hawaii. For
when a man comes from the Greater
East with a little knowledge in his
head, the f.rst thing he hears in Ha
waii is: "It can't be done."
The Honolulu Star-bulletin has in
vented a new word. It says: "The
man who talk prohibition on the
street, and 'pu'.-s one across' at home,
may be said to be practising camel
Rage." A camel, by the way, is an
animal which can drink enough in one
day to last seven. We hope there arc
none of those in Honolulu, which is a
very dry, moral town.
Some of the married men who have
been in the trenches twenty years,
are hoping that after the war is over,
the good wife will be in sufficient prac
tise so she can sew a shirt, knit a
