Tod should have better meant of
communication with the mainland,
ana you are going to obtain it noti
by .the suspension of the coastwise
shipping laws, but by the develop

least, our flag; teaching an advanc

sore enlightened humanitarianism,
wherever that flag may be teen. You
are going to get this merchant ma
rine',! which will be in the shape of
a mail subsidy, because the Presi
dent of the United States, the broad-1
minded, patriotic William Howard!
Taft, hat said so; the Speaker of the
House, the Hon. Joseph 0. Cannon,'
it in favor of it; the party in power
ha been entrusted with the duty of
legislating in favor of it, and, above
all things, the American people de
mand it; and the will of the Ameri
can people 's always supreme, as
soon as1 their will is known. Con
gressman Barchfeld.
It's pleasant to see the Stock Ex
change showing new signs ot life.
The Investors would be dead indeed
should they fall to respond to the
present situation.
"Honolulu will be a great city."
This prediction Is heard from every
expert visiting the city. How long
must-the people be told this before
they will tackle their Dig future In
Bla, sty.leT
Philadelphia .and Detroit are mak
Inc such a closa finish in the baso-
ball series that the President finds
himself not the first to attract atten
tion when the average cltiien takes
up (nls evening paper.
The.,nian who says that Honolulu
wiU'have a population ot 200,000
people within the next ten ears Is
one who judges n sure thing In a
most' conservative manner. There
can be no other result.
Phewl If the Congressmen called
It ttrenuou's what are we to say of
the local people who kept both Con
gresimen, Commissioners and the
fleet going? Hut we're mighty glad
they came, just the same.

President Taft has so frequently
declared America's friendship for
Japan that even the Ignorant Jap
ones Should begin to realize that It
is indeed true, and therefore retrain
front any (acts that might lead to
the wiihdrawol ot any measure of
that kindly feeling.
If the American ship owners do
not step to the front now and take
care of the Increasing trade between
this port And the mainland they will
deserve all they got from foreigners.
The Steamship operators have now
at their, disposal the greatest of all
subsidies New Business.
. Mr. Lelgbton's proposal that the
.waters ot "the other side" ot the Is
land should be brought Into use for
Jhls side is one that has long been
advocated by far-seeing business
men of 'Honolulu. It usually needs
a declaration from an outsider to
make Honolulu seriously take no
tlce.
All Honolulu joins in cheers for

optnent ns remarkable os that which
has taken place, along the Hudson.
Doth the Matson Navigation Co.
and the American-Hawaiian Steam
(hip Companies hmc chartered a
special steamer to take care of the
freight between Hawaii and the
mainland during the past season.
Now that passengers are demand
ing accommodations, is there any
good reason why one or both of these
lines Bhould not charter a special
steamer to relieve the congestion ot
people?
Mr. Lelghton sas It would be
well It public policy could be "defi
nitely enunciated, fixed and popu
larly approved." It would appear
from this that Mr. Lelghton hai
been here long enough to learn that
one of the most difficult things for
the people to obtain from the execu
tive of Hawaii Is a public policy so
"definitely enunciated" that anyone
can depend on It for a week. There
Is nlwas the hedging qualification.
And we have also to remember that
no one yet knows the "policy" under
which the valuable public lands of
Kapaa are being handled.
ANOTHER STEAMER NEEDED.
Managers ot the Matson Naviga
tion Company will show their good
faith and their determination to
meet the demands ot the increasing
business between this port and the
Pacific Coast If they signalize the
successful launching ot their first
passenger vessel by duplicating the
order for another, as large at least,
and possibly larger.
It Is absolutely necessary for
some one ot the transportation com
panies to step forward and prove
that It means to reciprocate, and
the Matson line appears to be the
only one in these times that, while
having the freight business to sus
tain good ships, can be depended
upon to recognize the Increasing pas
senger traffic,
As a matter of fact, It will be to
the everlasting credit of the Ameri
can transportation managers If one
St moie of the operators will step
to the front and iharter one ot the
Coast steamers for special service
thlB winter In order that the addi
tional tourist business that Is now
offering may be accommodated.
Aside from the Immediate demand,
It Is clear that the Increasing traf
fic will not only keep the steamer
Wirhelmlna well filled as soon as
she Is put on the route, but an addi
tional passenger and freight steamer
will be needed. as soon as it can be
constructed. Seattle trade has to be
considered.
It Is therefore merely a question
of whether the line In which the
largest amount of local capital and
local enterprise Is enlisted will
shoulder the responsibility and ac
cept the opportunity that Is pre
sented.
Here Is a field for profitable In
vestment that solves our transpor
tation problem In the right way
The business Is offering. The
freights are already In evidence.
Passengers must be accommodated.
The ways, the means, the ma'erlnl
things on which a great transporta
tion line Is built up are right here,
now. Absolute protection is given
through the coastwise shipping laws,
and It Is up to the Americans In the
transportation business to make
good.
Traffic between this port and San
Francisco, Seattle and probably Lor
Angeles will grow by leaps and
bounds. We have been predicting
It for months, while the pessimists
have knocked and asked for foreign
ships.
The traffic of this summer, both In
freight and passengers, has proved
the optimist to have been more thnn
correct In his view. The summer
business bfotweeh Hawaii and the
mainland has been equal to that ot
any previous winter. This meant
that the winter will be the greatest
this Territory liaa ever known. Heat
ot all, the growth will continue.
A word to the wise American
iteamshlp operators should bo suffi
cient. The money and the business
are mailable; what more do they
want?

Captain Ynbe, harbor master nt
Yokohama, Is returning on her, aft

on her last vojage down.
Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Wood will

the plans that tbey have laid out
will be closely adhered to with the
exception that the trip to New Zea

the exact time depends on their

The Hongkong Maru, returning
from her South American trip, did
not enter tho port, as the Chlyo, a
faster boat, will take the mall west,
and the other has no freight for Ho

Referring to the bastri at Walmea,

"This Is tho most Important bource

"The attention of the Territory nnd

In dealing Willi tho water supplies

"All the streams running westward

question of the future water supply
