7.V COXS1DERAT10X OF THE PRODUCER
Economically speaking tlie most valuable
people in any community are tlie producers,
. and every consideration should be given them.
If there were no producers in these Islands,
we, who are dependent on them, would have to
move out. '
The plantations, the pineapple men, the
homesteaders, the rice planters and the ranch
ers, are people of the very first importance in
the community. Everything should be done to
farther their interests and assist them to pros
perity. It is all very well to have smooth level
roads for sight seeing and joy riding, but it is
vastly more important to have passable and
durable roads for our homesteaders and rice
planters so that they can get their supplies in
and their produce out. Heretofore we have
been putting them off with the answer "We've'
got to spend our money for the whole public
on a belt road, when that is done we'll see
about you fellows!"
The time has fully come when we ought to
see about Ihein; and there ought to be a sys
tematic policy of public improvement develop
ment in the regions of production.
And it ought to be an equitable policy.
The interest that can pull the most strings, or
howl the loudest, is not necessarily the most
deserving, yet it often gets the most recogni
tion. It might be well for a chamber of com
merce commission to make a tour of the
Island, as was done recently on Hawaii, and
size up the needs and claims of the diU'ereut
interests, and report on them for the guidance
of the board of supervisors in their appropria
tions. At any rate it is well for us who live in
comfort, surrounded by the conveniences of
life to remember the trying conditions and the
hard lot of the pioneer producer, and do .what
we can to assist him.
.1 USEFUL 1XST1TUT10X
Tlie usefulness of the chamber of commerce
was well demonstrated at the last meeting by
the intelligent discussion of road matters, and
the prudent foresight and care which will no
doubt result in protecting our roads against
destructive heavy trailic. The ounce of pre
vention will save the county thousands of
dollars worth of cure.
Another commendable actiou of the cham
ber was that of coming to the assistance of the
homesteaders in the matter of the Olohena
road. That region will be profoundly grate
ful, especially when they get the road.
The Kauai Chamber of Commerce is a live
organization, worthy of the best support.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Editor Garden Island It has been
reported that the game between Lihue
and McBryde on Aug. 22nd, which Mc
Bryde won by the score of 3-0, will be '
awarded to the Lihue team by the
score of 9-0. If so, this is the way it
should be, as Captain Henderson had
no right whatever to' use Tilly, who
arrived two days previous to this
game.
As I understand the resolution pass
ed at a recent meeting of the Kauai
Athletic Association which allowed the
various clubs to sign on new players,
Its purpose was only to allow bona
fide residents of the island ,to be sign
ed as players, that is, only those who
were already on Kauai and were em
ployed by some individual or firm, but
whose names were not included in the
original list of 25 players submitted to
the secretary of the league before the
season opened.
If the wording of the resolution can
not be inerpreted to mean the above,
I believe that the officials who agreed
to the new ruling had more foresight
than to pass a resolution which would
permit any team to import a star play
er, comply with the residence clause
of two weeks and then be eligible.
What would the baseball public on
Kauai, not mentioning the followers of
the game on the other islands, think of
the local teams if the Makees, Lihue
and McBryde teams were each to im
port a star battery from Honolulu in
an effort to win the championship of
1920. Would a championship thus won
Mth players imported at a critical
stage of the race be a real champion
ship, won because that team had bet
ter players in their district than the
other teams had in theirs? Such a
championship would be in name only,
and the winning team would not be
classed as real champions of the Is
land by the public. It would be
championship won because of the
ability of that team to buy a penant
through their ability to import star
players from the outside islands.
Secretary Marcalllno Is reported to
have notified Lihue that Tilly will be
eligible on Sept. 3rd, so I presume that
he means that on that Tilly, if he re
mains on Kauai, will be a "resident
for two weeks on that date, and it will
therefore be legitimate for him to play,
The writer personally saw Tilly depart
for Honolulu on the Kinau Tuesday
Aug. 24, and he will not get back, I
understand, until Sept. 3. Taking into
consideration his first stay of five days
and the two days previous to the Mc
Bryde game this Sunday, makes
total of seven days on Kauai for Tilly
Isn't Mr. Tilly therefore Ineligible on
that date also if he was ineligible on
Aug. 22nd?
Now, is Tilly a bona fide resident of
Kauai in the true meaning of the word
and Is he employed here? Reports
have it that he is a "sanitary inspect
or for the McBryde Sugar Co., but
only one day after his return to Hono
lulu, one of the Honolulu papers nub
lished an account of a game between
the Coast Artillery team, commonly
known as the C. A. C. team, in which
Tilly's name appears aB pitcher. If
Tilly isn't an army man, or at least
civilian employee of the army, how
can he play on an army team? I do not
believe that the army authorities
would even think of allowing a non
army man to play on any of their
teams, regardless of his ability. The
question now is: how can Tilly be in
the Army, or be a civilian employee of
the Army in Honolulu, and at the same
time be a "sanitary inspector" for the
McBryde Sugar Company on Kauai?
I sincerely hope the management of
tho McBryde team will see fit to stop
importing players at this time of the
season, and drop Tilly, as their act
will only serve to arouse public opin
ion against them, and enhance the
reputation of the other two contending
teams, even if they were to lose the
1920 championship, and McBryde wins
it.
