Honolulu's waterfront on Regatta

make n lasting Impression on the

Jt does Hawaii good to have the

FREIGHT AND PASSENGERS,
.That wns a timely reference made
by Congressman Mcl.achlan to tho
freight-carrying steamship lines that
talic a very large percentage of tho
freight of this Territory and up to
tho piesent day do not reciprocate
wlOi accommodation for a single
passonger.
Although one line has sumclent
patronage between Honolulu and
l'jclflc coast ports to maintain two
magnificent freight steamers on n
legulnr schedule, it does not provido
for one passenger. And although
tho matter of passenger necessities
wan brought forcibly to tho atten
tion of the opointors of tho line both
by local people and tho local agent,
tlui only recognition gained for Ho
nolulu's passenger needs In tho
splendid now steamers now building
especially for this route, was pluns
lor only forty ieopio
Wo aio pleased that this has at
tracted the notlco of ablo thinking
men turning hero on n tour of ob
servation, p.utlcul.irly men who do
fclro that tho American mei chant
imirlno shall bo retained In at least
this poitiou of tho raclflc.
Thero Is not tho slightest doubt
that the passenger tralflc of theso
islands would bo amply taken caro
of If tho lines that carry the freight
of Hawaii made piovlalon for the
passcngere offering.
Ono steamship line, wo nro happy

regular runs has had somo ac
commodations for passengers, not
elaborate, to bo sure, but neverthe
less a recognition oT local needs.
This line will launch this week a
new steamer that has accommoda
tion for ono hundred and fifty pas
sengers. Unless some blow is struck
at the American merchant marine,
wo feel confident that other steam
ers will be built by tho same com
pany. This paper would solve our trans
portation problem, and It is a real
problem, life size and full grown, by
bringing to time the lines that carry
our freight.
What nn exhibition for tills Tcrrl
toiy that during the last fiscal jear
wo should ship to and from Hawaii
and the mainland merchandise val
ued at sixty millions of dollars, and
still not have proper accommoda
tion for passengers.
Iliey sny that passenger business
nlono will not pay. We grnnt this.
Hut haven't wo millions of freight
to bestow? Are not the people of
Hawaii captains of their own des
tiny? Hnvo they lost the power to
Bay to whom they will g!o their
freight? Aro tho great interests or
the Islands In tho grip of a gieat
transportation combine if which
they are afraid?
Or Is It that tho commanding inter
ests of Hawaii have not given pas
rongcr tinnsportntlnn tho "place In
their discussion that It deserves?
Tho solution of this transporta
tion problem is in our own hands,
und since this Is so, and slnco it will
eventually bo poor business to turn
our patronage over to tho foreigners.
It seems tho better part of progres
sive citizenship to deote our ener
gies to commanding the American
owners and building up tho American
lines rather than opening the door
to nllcns.
HALLEY'S HISTORIC COMET.
Appearnnco of Halley's comet in
tho heat ens almost co-Incident with
tho discovery of the North I'olo fur
nishes all tho setting for a tevlval
of tho portents associated with this
famous heavenly body since It was
discovered centuries ago.
This comet Is ono of tho travelers
of the sky that Is not seen by every
generation, and those who get a
view of it this year havo another
enure for congratulation that their
present tour on earth Includes tho
ear 1909. It Is one of the greatest
of astronomical exhibits.
The two most celebrated histori
cal appearances of Halley's comet
were In 10G6 and 14SC. The first
dato was that of tho Norman Inva
sion of Hnglaud, and each sldo
claimed the comet as a portent In
faor of themselves. Tho Normans
said that the comet wns set In tho
heavens to guide Duke William
across the channel, and tboso who
have (sited tho little museum at
Haycux-wlll remember that It forms
a notablo flguro In tho tapestry of
tho Duchess Matilda, which Is kept
in a glass case in the second room
In the thirty-second sceno of tho
tapestry is nn object ltko a huge
shuttlecock above a castle with n
group of Normans Btarlng nnd point
ing nt It, striking Anglo-Saxon at
titudes by anticipation at tho samo
time. Tho foremost of them Is sup
'posed to bo prophesying evil for Har
old, and tho inscription above them
is "Istl Mlrant Stella." William I.
was u great bcllevor In portents,
and ho mado tho most of the comet
In his nttack upon Harold nnd tho
English,
The other famous nppearance of
the comet was In Hfifl, when It
spieud terror all over Km ope, and
In nil tho dim dies peoplo prajed to
bo delivered fiom tho Turks and tho
cornet. Three jears earlier Con
stnntlnc, tho last Emperor of lly
zantlum, had died the death of a
hoio on tho Sandjakdar Yokushar,
tile Sultan Mohammed had entered
tho city, nnd tho Church of St. So
phia had become, a inosque. Tho

heavens, nnd Europe saw In It tho
scimitar of Othman, forfeiting tho
subjugation of Christendom. Its ap
pearance, according to tho chroni
clers of tho time, wns terrible; It
stretched ncioss tho sky like n wav
ing flame, and wns tho color of
molten gold, Tho Pope, Cnllxtus
HI., ordered that tho bells of tho
churches should be rung every dny
at noon, nnd that unhersal prayer
should be offered up to cxorclso tho
portent nnd to check the advance of
tho Turks. Then nt Inst, to tho
great relief of Europo, tho fiery yn
tnglian grow dimmer nnd fainter,
and nt last disappeared from tho
heavens.
When next It appeared, In 1531,
Solymnn 1 had just been repulsed nt
Vienna, nnd Europo had becomo ac
customed to looking on Austria nnd
Hungary as tho barrier against tho
Turks, and so comparatively llttlo
notice wns taken of tho tomet ug n
Mohammedan portent.
In modem times comets havo
been looked upon ehlclly as the
means which will lit lug about tho
destruction of tho earth, nnd In
1832, isr,7 nnd 1872 tho end of nil
things terrestrial was positively pre
dicted. However, like tho comet of
HOC, these vlsllnnts pasted harm
lessly nwoy, and tho most worldly
minded uero content to note that
tho years In which n comet appeared
were usually icmarknbly good crop
years. In fuct, vintages oi comet
years were grcntly sought after, es
pecially that of 1811. Although Hal
ley's comet has never been famous
for tho excellence of tho crops
grown under It, let us hopa that this
year will be nn exception to tho rulo
In this respect.
Our citizens should renllro that
tho condition of Hawaii County's
onds is n Territorial disgrace nnd
reflects particularly on tho mnjoi
Ity power of tho electomtc. In
competents should bo voted down
nnd out It tlioy do not or cannot
follow Intelligent policies.
