; Dr. Nelson, high in the councils or

and decorious Sydney town band
would relapse into tlr latest rollicking

"Doc" Nelson to the New South Wales

V l - The Ventura office is looked after
by a; new purser this trip in the pleas
ing personality of F. C. F. Baker, who
formerly passed through Honolulu as
freight clerk -in the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
"1 liner Nippon Maru.
Baker is also a member of the Syd
ney Come Back Club, and hoped to re
new 'acquaintances In the colonies
fojmed. during the days of his innocent
childnood, :i some twelve years ago.
Biikr 'is an 'obliging officer and he
, was wirmly Welcomed 'and 'congratu
lated upon his promotion iu the ranks.
The ' Ventura is' chock-a-block with
; freight for the colonlos including sev
eral thousand tons cargo, in which are
ET.ipmenta of a automobile, apples,
ijions, cement, building material, can
fed goods, electrical machinery,' and
' .ndrles:; ' ' . ' ,
. ' The vessel is sailing for the Anti
podes at two o'clock after leaving 60 J
tens- refrigerated cargo, besides " a
quantity of general cargo.
- Sixty cabin and five steerage pas
sengers left the vessel at this port.
.Proceeding through, to Sydney are 19
,cabiiv and 10 steerage passengers.
;, ,Tne .officers as 4 well as passengers
haven'i" got over talking about the
fancy drees ball, given , on board de
vessel on Saturday .evening, when a
picturesque array of novel costumes

- fXi number of passengers are to join
the vessel at this port for, Sydney and

: Change Lifeboat Rules For Coast.
WASHINGTON. Sept 11. The gov
v ernment regulations controlling life
Eaving apparatus on steamers, revised
, l&st April as a result of the Titanic
disaster, will be modified Ly Secretary
Nagel so as to lighten the require
ments for vessels plying the bays.
Bounds and rivers of the Pacifie coast,
Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast
" south of Charleston, S. C.
In the future steamers in the bays
and sounds of these waters must carry
: enough lifeboats or rafts to accom
ti'Odate only 30 per cent of the passen
gers and crew and steamers in the riv
; era 10 per cent, the year round, in
- stead of summer only. Under the
: : April rules, these vessels were ruir-
cd to have life equipment for al- on
.board from September-15 to May 15.
This action was the result of protests
v from shipping interests of the gulf,
-which maintained that the climate
'there did not necessitate lifeboat
"equipment for all on board during the
winter. The modification coincides
with one recommendation of the fed
eral supervising steamlioat inspectors

'"-''
F" the counties are" enabled
to'cohstruct a larger mileage of im
proved road and to eventually have
a complete system covering the prin
cipal roads pf the cojinty.
Second,' the 'counties' are enabled
to. secure the benefit of the service
of high class road engineers, Chem
ists and other experts which if It de-
rpended upon the county alone, they
rnever could afford". " ' '
Third." By systematizing and stand
ardizlrig the work, much better work;
will "be oerformed ' with the least
trouble and expense and designs' 'ot
the mnst ernnnmlra.1 pnnrttrnrHnn
economical
adopted :
f Fourth. Through constant touch
with the U. S. office of Good Roads,
the Territorial Highway Department
will be able to keep posted on all new
systems of construction and mainte
nance and to profit " by the latest
ideas and practices in road work'.'
,; Fifth. ' By combining the work in
the several counties under one de
partment, a more ecanomical" distri
bution of the engineering ' services
may be obtained. '
Sixth. The counties are relieved of
a considerable part of their mileage
and are thus able to devote all their
energies to the construction and niafri-
etianOe of their district roads
Territory Must Work as Unit.
With such a system as outlined!
above', the counties and Territory of
Hawrail will eventually obtain and
maintain a system of good roads:
Without such a system and especially
without the Territorial aid, the coun
ties will undoubtedly stand still and
continue to have poor roads. The
construction and maintenance of a
system of roads is of altogether too
great magnitude and financial burden
for the counties to shoulder alone.
Why not benefit by the experience
of .the older and richer States of the
Union who cin much better afford to
throw away money on poor construc
tion and experimental systems than
the Territory of Hawaii, where every
dollar' counts and is needed for im
provement of the great "mileage of
road in each county. The State Aid
plan has come to stay. It has beeri
tried and the present system is the
result of experience. Hawaii has a
chance to profit from this experience
and save its taxpayers thousands of
dollars. Will she do so? I am in
dined to think she will. I have fail
ed to nte any lack of progressive
hess on the part of the people of Ha
waii. They are all from ' Missouri
and must ba shown, but show them
the way and they aiie quick to follow
lUt 1 hope I.liave shown you. at least
the. entrance "andf tfeat you will sstopi
look and listen, for i am convinced in
my own mind that the system of
State Aid and Territorial assistance
is your only salvation.
MISREPRESENTATION IN
JAPAN AND AMERICA
The fact that America Is 'as much
misrepresented in Japan as Japan is States notes and Treasury notes of
in America was brought out by K.J 190 and Sl,0t7."6S.26:) is held for the
S. Inui, the Japanese lecturer and j redemption of gold certificates out-,
1-eace advocate making a round-the- standing. j
world tour, who spoke at the Central The Bureau of the Mint was estab--Union
Church last night before a lished in Washington In 1873 and the;
large audience on "The East versus record showing the amount of seign-;
the West." liorage on minor coinage is available
The East and West are both mis- only from that year. Prior to that
represented in England and Germany time the records were kept exclusive-1
and by one another according jr the'
lecturer, ana ine yenow sneet is
largely responsible for the" war
scare talk, which Mr. Inui declares
is ridiculous.
He went on to say that in modern
times no nation can do without the
ether, and with every nation having
large financial interests so closely
connected that .all are essentia! to
the mutual well-being, peace is anj
essential. There must be unity to
have prosperity and this is realized
in Japan as well as in America.
"In America." said Mr. Inui. "the
talk Is that Japan is preparing to in
vade America, she is getting a foot
hold on Hawaii and she will soon
land ah army on the shores of Cali
fornia. At the same time in Japan
we could say: 'Look at America;
first the. people of the nation drive
the Indians off the land. Then the
rebels from the mother country form
thirteen States and force Spain to
ell -Florida. Louisiana is next ob-
tained frora France and then Mexico
is forced to tede Texas and larg
piece of Territory. Then California
falls Into the hands of Americans and
Oregon is claimed.
"'Then, in 1898, the talons of the
eagle seize Hawaii and when the!
j Philippines are obtained this Nation!
,'say8 We don't want them, but wef
nearer. America is approaching. She
is going to invade Japan'."
The mutual effect of the East up-
j on the West was described by Mr,
Inui. showing how each loaned some
thing to the other, and in concluding
commended both the Occident and
the Orient to the care of the Creator.
How the Government makes money

called to the attention of- the Star
Bulletin by President Cecil Brown of
