Kditor Honolulu Sir: At a meeting Cif the directors of the Y. M. C. A. held today I was instructed to convey to you the thanks of the board for the valuable help given by your paper in connection with the recent campaign for funds for the swimming pool.

The board is very grateful for your hearty and helpful cooperation. Yours faithfully, ROB. ANDERSON, Record ins Secretary.

Valuable work has leen done by the public utilities commission in its investigation of the Lahaina tragedy and its fixing of responsibility on the men it deems directly to blame. And still more valuable is the commission's series of suggestions to avoid accidents in the future. Whether or not the Inter-Island believes' all the suggestions feasible, they are made from the standpoint of public safety and from no desire to imose an unfair burden on the company. The publicity given the investigation now makes up somewhat for the lateness in getting the probe started. There is considerable indication that after nearly two years of inertness, this public body is getting into a vigorous stride.

It will meet with oppositions; its members are not infallible and may make mistakes, but its purpose deserves public support, and, we believe, has that support to a very marked degree. The investigation and lindinjLCs are only half the task. The other half is to put its recommendations into effect. In this it is fair to expect that the Inter-Island will cooperate. CABRIIMHA HAS INTEREST IN NEW Honolulu has a habit of rising to emergencies.

A real emergency confronts this eom-iimn ity in the sale of the Pacific Mail steamers and the discontinuance of their service here. The territory will lx hard hit for passenger service, unless the businessmen all of the businessmen, big and little get together and plan together how they may secure an increase in shipping facilities. And now is the time to do it, before the steamers actually cease to call. The suggested compromise announced by President Waldron of the Chamber of Com meree, to reduce from $L'HJ to the tine im posed on foreign vessels for carrying passengers in the coastwise trade, has certain features to commend it but it needs careful con Stderation, The result may be simply to pass this $25 tine on to the "consumer" in this case the passenger and the territory doesn't want an increase iu passenger rates. That is going to hurt the tourist trade and it won't be any fun for the local folks.

The opportunity still beckons for Hawaii to see vthat can be done for another Matson steamer, or for the crack liner Great Northern. In our opinion an attempt to amend the coast wise law, even through this "compromise plan." should be the last, not the first resort. Harry J.

The cooperative Portuguese sugar mill on Hawaii, organization of which was reported in the Star-Bulletin recently, today filed articles of incorporation with Territorial Treasurer McCarthy. The filing of the articles reveals the name of A. M.

Cabrinha, a supervisor on the Big Island, as one of the directors of the mill company. Cabrinha has figured in several fights directed against sugar mill cor-porat ons of Hawaii, and at the last legislature he appeared before a special cotnme of the house of representatives with papers which berated the methods employed, or said to have been employed, by these corporations. His pleas before this committee were unsuccessful, however, as the committee reported that in its belief the small planters were treated fairly by the mill corporations.

After allowing the attorney for Marlowe to present all his reasons why a rehearing should be held, they lost no time in reaching their conclusion.

The only basis on which the board can do business with the saloon men is truth open, above 1mhhI truth. The commission by law is empowered to know how the saloon man is conducting his place. It is empowered to ask questions concerning his financial relations. The commission must know that the facts alleged befool it are true. When they are found untrue, the'lieensee has forfeited his right to the consideration of the board.

Marlowe's penalty is a very severe one. His business is destroyed. As a matter of fact, the fonnery brewery president and manager who, he indicates, connived with him to deceive the hoard should stand half of Marlowe's loss, but that gentleman being conveniently absent from the territory, there is no hope for such succor. Marlowe's plight should warn others of the booze business who have been slipping along on the edge of the law. With the refusal of Marlowe's license and the gentle elimination of another saloon man whose testimony before the commission hist June was not at all satisfactory, the commission is giving some salutary lessous in administration of the license statutes.

(From the New York Evening Sun) In the London Statist has lately appeared an article expressing the regret naturally felt in England over past failure to develop as a domestic industry the raising of sugar beets. It is worthy of note that the British, who subsist to a greater extent than any other leading nation on imported foodstuffs, should in the present time of difficult imports, be disposed to single out their sugar crop for especial regret among a number of such might-have-beens. The lesson to the United States is of particular value, in that the present policy approaching free trade in sugar follows that which an English economic authority among many other preoccupations now finds time to regret. Rais ing on its own soil tons of sugar, this country is now engaged in a policy that points as directly toward the eventual ruin of domestic sugar planting as any policy well could.

Free trade is to let into our markets the cheaper product of other lands, grown under labor conditions which the law of the United States prohibits for its own growers. Porto Rico and Louisiana are bound to suffer, but the locality chiefly affected is Hawaii, where the free list is collaborating with the shipping bill to drive the cane planter off the earth. Hawaii has made possible with its great sugar freight a prosperous shipping business in the Pacific under the American flag. That shipping is about to be ruined and driven into foreign ownership by the restrictions imposed Upon our ships by Congress. England has no adequate home supply of sugar.

She at least fosters fhe shipping which brings her supply from abroad. Either the present shipping law or the free-listing of sugar will suffice in a short time to drive our costly and valuable Hawaiian sugar development to the wall. The damage will, however, not be that of Hawaii alone. The whole country will lose by throwing awav an industry. RODERICK ROSS, formerly a well-known coffee planter of Olaa, Pahoa, and Puna.

The Star-Bulletin has urged for over a year that the city make use of the potable water now running to waste from the Rapid Transit and Hawaiian Electric plants. Here is a case where there is a large supply to meet a special need. Ships which touch here and ask water are charged a high price for it an absurdly high price in view of the millions of gallons flowing to waste and the comparative cheapness of a piping plan. For five or six thousand dollars pipes can be laid for delivery at the "wharves, and no matter how heavy the demand of the ships, what they take will not cut into the general city supply, for they will consume what is now going to waste.

Honolulu is anxious to attract all the shipping even the casual tramps that can he brought here. The matter of low charges is important to the casual callers. In making a start toward reducing the water charges the city is adopting, a wise policy. $35.00 and $40.00 bedrooms 20.00 30.00 45.00 30.00 40.00 27.50 16.00 30.00 25.00 32.50 40.00 20.00 25.00 40.00 37.50 25.00 40.00 30.00 15.00 50.00 35.00 30.00 A 6-bedroom house on Luna lilo Street, in first class condition.
