ITALIANS WILL
 LEND SUPPORT,
Leading Firms Will Give Neces- sary Financial Aid to
 the Exposition.

C. r. B. FIGLI, proprietor and editor of La Voce del Popolo one of the lead ing Italian papers in this city-I have exploited the idea of .an exposition in my paper, and from conversations had with some of our leading citizens I feel confident that they will lend their hearty cooperation. l can think of no more fitting way to commemorate the semi-centennial admission of our State into the Union than by holding an ex- position. The Italians have always aided in making affairs of that charac- ter success and will not be found lacking in their support in this in- stance. Many of the leading firms of our colony will aid the exposition, as they know the value to be derived from one. During the Midwinter Fair thou sands of visitors came to our State and viewed our products. California's S resources were advertised throughout the country in way which was of in- estimable value. When the Midwinter Fair was held here there was a gen. eraf depression of business, yet it did great deal toward improving things throughout the State. It is only by holding exhibitions of this kind pro- posed that California can hope to in- terest outsiders in her resources. I am in favor of an exposition and will do all I possibly can to bring about it's realization.

LEGISLATURE
 SHOULD ASSIST.
An Exposition Such as Projected Would Attract Many
 Strangers.

M. GREENBLATT, editor California Demokrat-I have often asked myself the question, Why is it that California, so inexhaustible in natural wealth and so peculiarly free from elementary dis turbances, does not attract a more numerous population? Where is there a State in the Union, aye, country in the world, that offers such induce ments to the home-seeker as does our State?
 There can be but one answer. We do not appreciate the importance of a large population to the development of the country. We have heretofore re- trained from making the proper efforts to attract and draw strangers to Cali fornia.
 Of course there will be, perhaps, al- ways enough to eat for the people within our borders. Stream, forest, vineyard, orchard and potato patch will yield enough to feed us for gener- ations to come But are we content like aborigines, to forever subsist on such meager fare? Can that be the sum and substance of the ambition of a modern people? In order to attract immigrants we must show them what our State is and what 1t can produce, and I cannot think of more potent agency to that end than an exhibition such as is suggested by The Call.
 There is no time to be lost if we would do honor to ourselves and jus tice to the State. The next Legisla-

Should Be an Exposition Worthy the Great State Whose Honor
 1t Is to Commemorate.

STATE SENATOR EUGENE F. BERT-There have been a great many good things done for the benefit of San Francisco during the past twenty years, but l know of nothing as yet attempted in the way of bringing California to the notice of all parts of the United States and the countries of Europe, China, Ja- pan and Australia equal to this pro- posed semi-centennial celebration of California's admission into the Union of States. It will not only be bene- fit to California, but to the entire Pa cific Coast, and as a consequence every State on the coast should join with us in the movement. It deserves the united support of every man, woman and child capable of approaching the great good that must follow.
 Neither politics nor divisional lines should be permitted to interfere in making this semi-centennial one of the greatest successes ever undertaken in this city. If all unite in this great and meritorious undertaking it will, it must be success; and by being a success the entire State will reap the benefits. Every man, whether he be a native son or an adopted citizen, should be proud of the State that has

No Better Way to Accomplish CalifOrnia's Benefit Than the
 One Proposed by The Call.

E. F. FITZGERALD, Labor Conn., missioner indorse the proposed semi-centennial exposition. I am heart fly in favor of all such celebrations held in this State, as I believe they invite the attention of the world to a land whose natural advantages are so great that it's possibilities are immeas- urable, but as yet undeveloped to the degree which they warrant. There fore, I deem this class of advertising an attractive display of inestimable benefit.
 California opened the first door to the commerce of the Pacific and for years held full sway, but during the last fifteen years competition has de- prived us of part of this valuable heri- tage; it therefore behooves us to ere ate a strong spirit of enterprise, ener- getically maintain and jealously guard this acquisition-awaken our people to the necessities and invite strangers to join us in the accomplishment of the result.
 This is one of the many reasons why our commercial importance and the many sources of wealth possessed by the State should be kept before the world, and I know of no better way to accomplish it than that proposed by The Call.
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-20

The semi exposition in 1900 suggested by The Call will prove a far greater success than the Mid winter Fair. It is a matter of local history that the Midwinter Fair proved of great advertising value to California, and in addition surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine of its directors. It was held at time when there was but small hope of drawing the attention of the East to the wonderful resources and products ! of our State Many Eastern people came here and were so charmed by cur climate and natural advantages that they decided to remain with us. Con- trasted with the winter storms of the East, our climate proved to be what we claimed We advertised to the world that we had a land of almost perpetual sunshine and we proved our assertion true. While the people or the East were suffering with cold those who visited our hospitable shores had the privilege of enjoying our balmy climate.
 The Midwinter Fair was a success. The seni-centennial exposition will be a greater one, for 1t will be conducted OH IdTS6t dlu SIduQGI SCGlC- W ( Iei NG at our hand everything necessary to make an exposition that will rival that of Paris in 1900 All that IS required is a small amount of work on the part of those who have in the past assisted in bringing California prominently be- fore the civilized world. The Paris exposition should not deter us from carrying out the project. Many who will cross the ocean to attend the Worlds Fair in 1900 will also visit the exposition of the Pacific Slope.
 The States admitted to the Union af- ter California will join in making the exposition one that will be thoroughly representative of the coast. All of the frateTnal and labor organizations have given assurances of aid and Major Phelan and Governor Budd are in accord with the movement.
 That the State Legislature will make an appropriation to forward the pro- posed celebration is assured. All that now remains to do is to have a commit tee appointed to take the matter in hand and arrange the preliminary de- tails. Every county in California can be safely counted on to do it's share of the work. Mayor Phelan will name committee of business men to represent San Francisco, and within the next few weeks the other counties will have sim liar committees appointed. The eX- position will prove a grand success if there is a concentration of action. That such course will be followed is

great exposition. in San Francisco Is worthy of the serious consideration of the people of this State. The year 1900 will be the nineteenth centennial of the Christian era and the first semi centennial of California's statehood. The material, educational and moral progress made in this State since 1850 is closely connected with the advance ment of Christian civilization. An ex- position designed to portray the won derful transformation that has been brought about here since the era of Spanish missions, in which the foun- dations of government, industry and the intellectual and moral SuperStruc- tare of to-day were firmly laid, would attract the attention of the world and add to the glory of a State, the his tory of whose marvellous achievements reads like the chapters of a romance.
 The world has never had but one Cal ifornia. It sprang into existence al- most in a single day. Year after year it has poured wealth of gold into the channels of the worlds trade. But that is the least of it's achievements. It has provided much of the bread for the millions of Europe. And to-day it is known as the garden and orchard of America. Upon it the East depends for US IIlOSI luSClOuS lIultS, ana the pro- ducts of it's trees are in demand in England, Germany and other foreign countries. No State in the Union, no territory of similar dimensions on earth, grows so great a variety of fruits. And its progress in other re- spects has been equally remarkable. It ranks high in art, science, architect ure education and literature Here, no less than in the oldest States of the nj those a uyh fnl, elevate, refine and broaden humanity.
 A celebration such as that suggested would be an event of more than na- tional importance. Would it be pos sible for California to raise the money that would be required to make the proposed exposition a success? It is the opinion of w. H. Mills that a really great occasion is more easy of accom- plishment than an inconsiderable un- dertaking.
 Two millions could be raised more easily than hundred thousand. Gal ifornia.' he says, expended on the Worlds Fair at Chicago over $700, ,O00 to make an exhibit This sum included all that was expended by the State, counties and by individual exhibitors. But California expended, according to some intelligent estimates, nearly S10,- GOO GOO in visiting the fair. If this be exaggerated, let it be assumed that the State spent s5000,000, and the net cost of the exhibit at Chicago was from six to seven millions of dollars. This ex-

no equal under the broad canopy of heaven to-day.
 The mover of this project has, by ex- ample, shown his appreciation of ths benefits of the State and the city in which he lives and has done so much to improve and adorn. This is but one more act added to many others to bring San Francisco to prominent position in commerce and industry that it's situ- ation, climate and advantages conn., mand and possess. Now for a cele- bration that will cap the climax and be the crowning point of all former undertakings, am with the movement heart and soul.

semi-centennial anniversary of Cali fornia.
 As it will be of inestimable benefit to every section of the State, the next Legislature should make liberal ap- propriation to assist in successfully carrying on the project.
 A plan for organizing should be put in shape at once, so that there will be no delay in formulating plans for the exposition.
 That the exposition should be held in San Francisco cannot be questioned. That this city is prepared to take care of large number of people has been clearly demonstrated on former great occasions. The whole Pacific Slope should join in making the exposition success Sectional strife should not enter into our minds on this occasion. Let State pride predominate. We must all work together with will.

Strong Commendations of The Calls Timely Sug-
 gestiOn.
A CALIFORNIA EXPOSITION.
San Francisco Chronicle.

The Call has suggested that the if tieth anniversary of the admission of the State of California to the Union should be celebrated by holding an eX- position which shall tittingly illustrate the growth made by the commonwealth since the year 1850. The idea is an ex- celient one, and if the people take hold of it as they should no doubt the pro ject can be successfully carried out. There is no question about the ability of California to get up an attractive show. The Midwinter Fair afforded abundant affirmative evidence on that point, and demonstrated conclusively that there is a disposition on the part of the people to support such enter prfses if they have instructive, inter esting and amusing features.
 In order, however, to make a success of the undertaking hard work will have to be done in advance. Public-spirited citizens will have to turn to and labor untiringly. No perfunctory efforts will serve to accomplish anything substan tial There must be zeal from the word go, and words must be matched with deeds.
 At this stage of the affair it is not necessary to outline what can or ought to be done The chief thing to do is to ascertain whether the people desire to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary in the appropriate manner suggested by our contemporary. If they do the Chronicle may be depended upon to zealously assist in carrying the affair to a successful consummation.

THE ITALIAN LABORERS.

The King of Italy recently stated, it
is reported, that 100000 Italians would
emigrate to the Argentine Republic
next year Land is cheap, the markets
are fairly good, and any desirable emf
grant can quickly own whatever land
ne needs.
Any attempt 10 bring Italian laborers
into these Islands must fail unless they
are offered better inducements than are
offered by the Argentines. Italian lab
orerS have emigrated TO the United
States because they are paid well. The
lowest rate of wages is 81 per day, as

LIQUOR QUESTION.

New York, November 26, 1898.
EDITOR p. G. A, Dear Sir:-Would
you kindly inform US whether or not
the social conditions of the Hawaiian
Islands are such as would make it ap-
pear to you advisable for our Congress
to extend the American saloon system
TO your Islands. By American saloon
system We mean our licensed and
legalized public bar for the open sale
of beer, whiskey and all sorts Of fer
mented liquors and distilled spirits by
the drink
We would greatly appreciate a brief
statement of your views upon the sub
ject. Respectfully,
EDITOR OF THE VOICE.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-12-13

GU, Ike many OIneF are WnOlly un- |
informed about the social conditions of |
these Islands. You are under the i'm |
preston that this is a heather coun- |
try; that it is now coming within the |
sphere of civilization, and must take |
it's bitter as we'll as it's sweet endow-
ments Since Captain Cook discovered |
these Islands, and uncOnsciously select |
ed on one of them his own burial
ground, civilization has evenly distri-
buted it's blessings and curses to the
inha bitants. The practice of Offering
up human sacrifices here is no longer
fashionable, so that, today, there are
more human sacrifices offered in one OF
your large sweating establishments,
in one year, than have been made here
in half century.
The gallcws, which was unknown
before the year 1920, is permanently
fixed here. Trousers and other forms
| of dress have been acclimated here,
| after many failures, and there is no
| longer any revision to original forms
of dress.
| he Whites w III nave DSSh tAS liSS-
sengers of civilization to these Islands,
are of two classes. One of them is the
| missionary class. The other is the
| commercial class, to which bummers
and beach-combers are an appurtenant.
The missionary class brought the BIZ
Bile, established schools, churches, law
and order Many of the commercial
class have effectually aided in doing it.
| Many of the commercial class intro
| duced the bottle to the heather, with
unlimited success. Since 1920, the mis-
sionary and the saloon have worked
side by side; but their relations have
not been harmonious. The work of the
missionary is well-known abroad. The
power of the saloon is not so we'll
known. The inhabitants of the Islands
now number 10000. In 1897, the value
of spirits, ale, beer, etc, amounted to
1902 .154.7O. The saloons do business
under license All the methods OF pre-
pairing drinks in the AnglO-SaXOn
communities, are well-known and
practiced here. The preparation and
sale of ''moonshine" spirits is carried
on to some extent, owing to the gener-
Gus manner in which Nature has en-
| dowed plants with the material for
producing alcohol.
We will not discuss the temperance
question. We give only the facts.
When you ask, therefore, if Congress
should extend the saloon system tC
your Islands, there is only one reply
to be made. 1t is here now.
In the Alaska case, it is decided by
one of the United States courts, which
is not the court of last resort, that Con
gres may prohibit the manufacture ant
sale of alcoholic liquors in any terri
tory. If Congress should use it's power
to do so; whether it would be desirable
to do so, is a practical question. There
is no reason to believe that prohibi
tory legislation would be any more sue
cessful here, than it has been else
where. We presume that in settlet
i community, such as ours is, Congress
will leave the subject to local legisla
ton. If it is left to local legislation
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-12-13

the saloon will not be disturbed. In
fact it will be extended, as the great
majority of the people, including all
races residing her, are in favor OF it.
We do not believe that shortcuts TO
better conditions are more successful
in the tropics than elsewhere.
