A few years ago the telephone SER
vice of Honolulu was one of the boast
ed resources of the town. 1t was
prompt, efficient and accommodating
and 1t served the public In such a
variety of ways that tourists talked UP
It's merits all over the world. There
was competition then, simpler sys-
tenn and smaller town, but competi-
tion was the thing that told in favor
OF the public. Since one company ac-
quired the business the service has
been generally poor and 1t gets worse
Seeing that the system used is a sue
cess in big cities, the conclusion car
hardly be avoided that business rivalry
would restore all the missing links IL
Honolulu's telephone service and make
that service what it used to be. The
town sees what competition does IN
the meat business. and would be glat
to have responsible people show wha
can be done by breaking up the tele
phone monopoly.

The Porto Rlcans whom the Exami-
Der deluded into staying at San Fran
cisco, instead of going to Hawaii where
good wages and good treatment were
in store for them, are now flocking to
the poorhouse. Thanks to the absurd
yellow journal, the people of San
Francisco will have to care for them
at large expense, OF buy them tickets
to some other place to which they may
be persuaded to go. We do not doubt
that the authorities of the Coast me-
tropolis will do their best to start the
z orto Ricans to Hawaii. a task which
will be easy when letters from the
advance contingent go back telling OF
the situation here. AS for the Exami-
ner, it must have earned for the thou.
sandth time the contempt of every
