Hearings granted to domestic Inter
ests ,ln connection with the foreign
trade agreements with foreign coun
tries, negotiated by the state depart
ment, have turned out to be just
what was expected by the discerning
When the bill, giving the President
0' power to negotiate agreements In
volving changes In tariff rates, was
llrst drafted and Introduced, It con
tained no provision to give those In
dustries affected by the agreements
a chance to be heard. The Repub
licans raised a big outcry over this
and Insisted they would not permit
the bill to pass, would filibuster
against it it necessary, unless the bill
was amended so as to include hear
ings. Democratic leadership barkened to
th plea, or threat, and obligingly
adopted the feature demanded by the
Republicans. But It was. neverthe
less, generally believed by those fa
miliar with such things thst the hear
ings would not amount to anything
and that they were Just a sop thrown
to the high-tariff people.
The first hearings under the new
act are now being held by the tariff
commission on the Cuban commercial
treaty, and the proceedings seem to
Justify the predictions as to their
Talue. What the Cuban treaty con
tains has never been disclosed to con-
grass or the public, and neither
Thomas W. Page, vice-chairman of
the commission presiding at the hear
ings, nor any other government of
ficer will tell witnesses what Its pro
visions are. Tills F'Jta prospective wit
nesses wholly in the dark because
they do not know whether their busi
ness Is affected or not.
A Connecticut tobacco grower came
before the commission and wanted to
find out If his product was affected
by the terms of the agreement, but
Mr. Page told him he could not gle
him the Information. Thereupon tne
Connecticut Yankee thought he had
better be on the safe side and pro
test anyhow. Oother witnesses have
followed his lead and have testiriea
as if their products were not only
going to be affected, but affected
adversely.
Witnesses must tell their own
stories because they are not per-1
mttted to have attorneys argue their
eases for them. The hearings arc
nominally public, but that does not
mean you can walk right In without
any formalities. No one Is allowed
to enter unless he till In a slip o.'
paper, giving his name, whom and
what he represents, and the reason

Those who imagined these would be
a repetition of the old congressional
tariff hearings, where witnesses ap

of charts, exhibited their wares ana

HONOLULU, July 27. Well
we blew in here this morning
on the first leg of our long hop
nnd imagine who wc run into.
Vou wouldn't guess in a year.
You remember the president we
lost just after congress ad
journed t The one that was so
tickled that he disappeared t
Well, he is out here at aome
Japanese islands in the middle
of the Pacific Just looks fine.
Same great smile that he used
to use on those congressmen
and make 'cm bring stocks out
of the water for him. These
folk want their sugar quota
rniseil but he just smiles at 'em.
Ic is the world's only man that
:an turn you down and you go
nut liking him. The whole of
Honolulu is doing the hula or
riding a surf board for him to
dny. If he don't raise their
quota I will go over his head
and take it up with Hugh John
son and get it done for 'em.
For we can't let the Garden of
Eden be dissatisfied.
