in order to use th- Siberia Direct
response from the postmaster general
to our cable rt-'juest for authorization
to ute the Siberia, was not received
betore the ship sailed. However, o
minutes before the sailing time a
cable from the San Francisco office
of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha reached
their aeents here, directing them to
receive mail for this vessel. It was
assumed by the Honolulu representa
tive ( f the railway mail service and
melf that this cable was sent in
reporse to a request made upon the
line Ly the postal authorities at Wash
ington. We asked the captain of the
Siberia to hold th ship 3u minutes in
order that we might tie oiii, close and
deliver the mail at the wharf. This
the captain consented to do.
"The Siberia is not included in the
mail contract between the postoffice
authorities and the T. K. K. line. Spe
cial authorization had to be obtained.
About two weeks ago I wrote urging
the second assistant to negotiate an
amendment of this contract so as to
specifically include the Siberia. The
present contract is operative until
July 1. 191$.
'As the Chamber of Commerce of
Honolulu, through its secretary, has
particularly asked that this ship be
made available for the carriage of
mails between Honolulu and the
coast, I am very much gratified that
we were successful in making this
despatch.
"We receive many inquiries by tele
phone from business houses here ask
ing when mail closes and whether par
ticular vessels will be used. As this
instance shows, we are not always
able to answer such Inquiries posi
tively until the very last minute.
There are other reasons, as everyone
knows, why we may not it this time
give information which bears upon the
movements 'of vessels. I urge busi
nessmen here to deposit their mail
with the postoffice as promptly as
possible. It will go to destination at
the earliest possible moment.
' There is this other point to be re
membered. Mall placed in the Dost-
office is sorted and put into direct
sacks for the principal mainland
points. Thus if it is addressed to
San Francisco, it goes Into a San
Francisco sack, and If for New York,
into a New York sack. etc. Eastern
mall despatched thus makes better
connections at San Francisco than
mail deposited in the bags at the
wharf. The latter necessarily goes
to San Francisco postoffice for dis
tribution, whereas the "direct sacks"
go straight to the trains.

LETTERS
THE FOOD SITUATION
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: A slight drop In the dHcp n
a certain article of food is explained
by one of the city's merchants as
being the result of the fact that the
hoarder of foodstuffs has purchased
a sufficiency of that particular com
modity, and is now holdine back.
The heavy buying of foodstuffs by
individuals who can see in the future
famine prices on account of the war,
and the probability of the United
States having to fed the world, is
nothing more than a boosting of
prices, for, of and by the people.
It is the same with foodstuffs as
with other articles of trade, the more
one gambles, especially with himself,
as he certainly is doing when he
manes extensive purchases of food
stuffs that will not be needed for
months to come, the higher will go
the price of that particular commod
ity in which he is investine the
heaviest. Not only is he forcine the
price up for himself, but for every
body else as well.
There is not the slightest Dossibil-
lty that any great number of Ameri
ca's millions are going hungry, simply
Because the United States has iaken
it upon herself to provide food for
the people of England and France
This can all be well accomplished by
a proper conservation and husband
ing or all food resources.
While it is true that there is an
apparent shortage oi flour at the nres
ent moment, which is accounted for
by a shortage (not failure) of wheat
crops in various parts of the world.
this is a condition that will clear.

T'dE thing you want is on one side price on the other and running between the
two are the waters of expense. When selling expense is great, the waters are
wide the article you want is a great distance rom the price and it takes a lot of
money to connect the two.
NEARLY every day we, you. all of us, are greeted by the announcement of "an
other advance in prices" of this, that and othr things advances that come
faster than our advances in income. Nearly everything we use is affected until, in

R. W.Breckons
says:
Two hundred so-called Republican
voters, voting for two Democratic can
didates for the Board of Supervisors,
can easily elect seven Democrats in a
close election. Boosting by a news
paper or citizen for any two Democrats
may win votes for them, but cannot
possibly secure the votes of the bolting
phalanx for any given five Republi
cans. Again, the Republican party has
definite policies clearly prescribed by
the County platform. The Demo
cratic party is a trifle shy and evasive
in this respect. Its high priest, prophet
and angel seems to be unwilling to do
his bit insofar as the improvement of
Honolulu is concerned, and it is not
unfair to assume that any support
from Democratic sources for the front
age tax will not assume any particular
energetic action.
A straight ticket and the Demo
crats themselves, hoping that the Re
publicans will vote otherwise, are
preaching it means seven Republican
supervisors, pledged to a bigger and
better Honolulu. A split ticket may
result in the selection of seven Demo
crats and we all know what that
means.
