WHAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT IT?

Having once set forth an exist
ing evil and proved that there has
been no exaggeration in depicting
the situation, the question that
very naturally arise is, what are
you going to do about it ? We
must admit that this is not such
an easy problem to solve, particu-
larly in the work which this paper
has taken up of checking the nefa-
rious business of the lowest classes
in our city. The whole populace
might agree on the necessity of
stamping out the wrong, but when
it comes to definite action there
may be quite as many opinions as
there are persons to express them.
In the first place, we advocate the
segregation of these moral leeches,
SO far as possible. Get them away
from the public thoroughfares
where they are not only public
eyesore, but will soon become a pub
lie menace. At the same time the
police department should follow
closely the hangers-on of these
places who are practically respon-
sible for the present condi-
tions. They can be prosecuted
as Migrants and a good proportion
brought to justice. Having forced
t e larger part of these denizens of
the dives to the wall, there would
then be time for the officials and the
people to look about them and see
what is the next best thing to be
done.
1t can be put down as an ac-
cepted fact that an evil that has
gained a fairly good foothold can
not easily be put down or eradi-
Gated in a day or month. We
doubt very much whether in this
day and generation the absolute
purity which so many desire can
be accomplished. 1t is possible,
however, to improve, to marked
degree, on the present state OF
affairs and keep the evildoers with
in narrow bounds. The sugges-
tions offered will, we believe, be the
first step in advance. 1t is time
enough to consider the second step
when the preliminary work is COM
pleted.

have an opportunity to see
elegant goods in an elegant
store and at low prices. We
do not mean low prices for
inferior goods, but for as fine
articles as were ever shown
in Honolulu.
The impression prevails
that because our store in the
Won Holt block is to be the
finest in the city that pur-
chasers must pay high prices
in order that we may keep
up appearances. A greater
mistake was never made;
good stores may mean high
prices in some places, but
not with us.
The ConvenienCes in the
new store are perfect, even
to the smallest details. Not
a point has been overlooked
in fitting up the various de-
partmentS SO that purchasers
may select goods without
getting weary.
The store will be open and
the goods marked in plain
figures on February IS. On
that day and every other day
shoppers will be as welcome
as buyers. We want shop.

difference between our prices
and those charged in the
smaller establishments.
We will show the largest

Lamps, Cutlery, Platedware,
WoodenWare and Refrigera-
tors, Hardware, AgateWare,

and a large assortment of the
latest novelties in household
utensils.
We propose in the conduct
lOf this business to introduce
new ideas, new methods and
new goods. We will show
you that first-class articles
may be imported here and
sold by us at lower prices
than is asked by Chinese
dealers on Nuuanu street.
Goods delivered daily to
all parts of the city including
Waikiki.
And we want your trade.
