that the Islands are getting a
tremendous amount of free
advertising? Has it ever oc.
Cured to you that it would be
better if the representative of
one of the foreign newspapers
now sojourning here would
adhere closer to the truth, and
to the principle of investigat-
ing rumors before publishing
them, rather than publish first
and be called a scorner of the
truth afterward? Better for
the community and the paper
represented. 1t has to us and
we're not alone in the OPT
Mon.
The generous and general
advertising the country has
received during the past two
months will help us in many
ways and injure certain indivi-
duals in others. 1t will bring
capital to the country and tou-
rists to our shores. 1t will
create a demand for Kodaks
and bring globe trotters here
to view, what the representa-
tive of one San Francisco pa
per has made them believe, is
the most available spot on
earth for Parkhursting cranks
and the hotbed of intrigue and
deception. The Bureau of
Annexation has proven itself a
better advertising channel than
the Bureau of Information,
but then the latter deals mostly
in climate and scenery. The
, tourists now here proclaim this
a veritable Eden, paradise,
the condensation of every
) thing necessary to make life
pleasant and bearable, and the
society feature hits them hard.
