SATURDAY.
Free Trade! Nol
MAUI always did know a good thing and, by voting for Protec
tion, as represented by the Republican Party, fell in line with
the majority of the voters of the United States. In case any
one does not quite realize that the Protectionists of the United States
do. still predominate, the following data is reprinted:
"The returns of the vote for President demonstrate clearly enough
that the American people do not want Free Trade. There were 569,
584 less votes east for President this year than in 1908, notwithstand
ing an increase of six millions in population. Wilson polled 23f,434
votes less than Bryan got in 1908. The Taft and Roosevelt vote, all
for a Protective Tariff, was 1,147,814 greater than Wilson's vote, and
yet was 333,114 less than Taft polled in 1908. More of the missing
vote went to Wilson, who polled much less than Bryan. And then
1,250,000 new votes, or that many old ones, are further lost sight of.
No greater proof is necessary of the statement that the nation has not
changed. It is as much for Protection to-day as it was in 1908. But the
divison in the Republican ranks, and the distrust of Taft because of
his "reciprocity" record, account for the election of Wilson. . The
Democrats can change the Tariff, but if the Republicans get together
the next election will sweep the Free-Traders from power."
Chauffeurs.
YTY HERE is no doubt in the minds of many people, that the issuing
of chauffeurs' licenses should be considered more thoughtfully
than is at present the case. All sorts and conditions of "men"
seem able to get permission to drive rent automobiles in this county.
Lads of an age that would seem to bar them from the dangerous oc
cupation, are daily to be seen piloting "loads" around the streets.
Soiuts of the youngsters are careful enough, but there are some who
are not.
An effort should be make to raise the age at which youths are
granted licenses. . An old head was never grafted on young shoulders,
and the consequence is that the boys get flurried when a crisis faces
them, and do not know what to do. Other are so reckless that they
take chances where an older man would not dream of so doing.
The fact that a lad can start, stop and keep the right side of the road
should not be sufficient to allow of him getting a license to drive an
automobile. The examiner should convince himself that the applicant
for a license is properly balanced, and that he is a careful person and
one entitled to hold a chauffeurs certificate. The, age of twenty-one
should be set, and no one under that age should be allowed to obtain a
license.

Rights To Water.
(Continued irotn Page I)
At this moment the keystone of the
success of the Oahu Sugar Com
pany is the water of Kahana and
Waikane. The combined interests
form the plant of the Waiohole
water Company 4 which pays the
Hui of Kahana $40,000 per annum
for the water on their land. Fig
ured as close. as mathematics will
permit, the value of the shares is
about $6,000 each, based on the
fact that the dividends on each
share will be $384.00 per year.
The rivalry between Link and
the woman in the case has reached
the humorous stage and each is try-
ng to fool the other. Then the
husband of her niece once took
position as advisor. Much of her
business has been managed by him
during the past few years, and
always to her advantage because he
is a man of iutergrity and with
that moral code that gets names
into the "Who's Who" books. At
this time he, too, seems to be going
backward and a comparitive stran
ger is in the field as mentor. This
gentleman has a reputation that
would withstand most anything
but, personally, he cannot stand
Link's agent, so, whenever they
come together nothing is accomp
lished. For that reason the meet
ings of the Hui of Kahana are not
always harmonious.
There is a well grounded suspic
ion that he advisi'S the lady to buy
the shares from the Hawaiians for
little or nothing and, as he is the
head of a socialist colony of Ha
waiians in Kahana, his action is
surprising, it l have tne coae ot
the socialists down to the point of
understanding, they are "agin the
rich'and want all things equal to
the point of dividing the pigs on
the farm. If he, as a socialist,
advises the Hawaiians to part with
their holdings in Kahana for a
twentieth of their value, and the
holding passes to a womeu who is
so rich she cannot count her money,
it seems to me to be against all so
cialistic ethics. One could expect
such things from Link because he
is known to be grasping and un
appreciative and a white man.
The lady in the case is a Ha
waiian in part but, anywhere away
from Hawaii, she would be accept
ed as a white person because of her
bearing, her education and her
knowledge of pounds, shilling and
pence. And she has a keen sense
of values when it comes to water
rights; no one knows better than
she what a share in the Hui of Ka
hana is worth, and she knows what
to offer. Lately it was discovered
by the lady, Link and her mentor,
who is almost a stranger here, that
a Hawaiian with a share in Kahana
was floating around loose when she
or the share should be in their
captivity.
The mentor dispatched emissaries
to Maui and Hawaii and the islands
were fine-tooth-combed for her
Link sent his representative also
and they all failed but one day
Link's man opened a conversation
with a Hawaiian who lived next
door to the "Queen of Kahana"
and the mentor, and learned by
chance that she was the woman
with the share and he closed with
her for three hundred dollars.
So Link had another share to his
credit. Then it was learned that
the woman herself had sent an
agent to Kauai to buy another
spare share and the price was bid
up to $2,800 and refused. Link's
agent followed with an offer of
$3,000 and when he could not get
it offered six thousand with the
remark that it was worth it, and
any time they would sell he would
pay that price. Of course that
shut out the other rival. Some day
Link, or the lady in the case, will
buy out the other and the shares
will drop.
Some time ago there was a meet
ing of the Hui of Kahana at which
Link was conspicuous. He was
permited to speak and during his
remarks called attention to the
condition of the school house and
the church at Kahana. He suggest
ed, when he noticed the water taps

down the cheeks of the lady of the
spring, that eaen snarenoiaer De
assessed five dollars per share, the
money to go for the improvement
of the buildings. It was not carried
even though Link made odious
comparisons with the buildings in
the Hui of Waikane.
The proposition was turned down
and the roofs of the church and
school house continue to fall in;
the paint 1ms disappeared and the
grounds are neglected. Even with
a profit on the shares averaging
more than five thousand dollars
each to the lady was not moved
enough to get her into line.. Per
haps she does not attend that church
anyway, one day not long ago
when the different interests were
trying to bring the owners of thp
water together and failed, the holder
of the majority of shares in Kahana
said to John Hackfeld. "There

values.

This evening, at the Paia Or
pheum, the "Revolving Wedge"
will be produced. The play has a
good Honolulu record, and should
do well on Maui. On Monday
evening the comedy will be played
at the Kahului Lyceum. A few
reserved seats may be obtained at
