A. B. Wood: 1T seems to me the
proposition of taking it block by
block is the best proposition. Our best
streets are blocked continually by
drays bringing goods in and out of
stores Business men looking for a
location will always ask if there is
way of getting in the back way. |
think it advisable to take up the ques-
ton and consider each block by it
self"
E. S. Cunha: Il think the narrow |
alley is quite sensible. That gives an |
opportunity for loading and unloading |
goods without obstructing streets. |
Many times streets and stores are
| blocked up by drays because there is
no other way of handling the merchan-
disc. 1 think a!leyways from twelve
to fifteen feet wide would be sound. II
these alleys are lighted up / think in
the general run they will prove
great benefit to the community
Mr.. Edwards: MY experience has
been that the wider alley is preferable.
The people of that section will have
buildings facing on the thoroughfares
: whether it is an alley or street. l
think the alley should be of sufficient
width to permit the passage of We
! hicles."
! j. F. Colburn: Il am heartily in
sympathy with the idea of taking up
/ the matter block by block. Conse-
t quently l shall not at this time express
an opinion as to whether there should
2 be streets or alleys there. 1 don't be-
lieye in extending the fire limits to
River street. l think this side of the
city should be treated equally in that
e matter with the other part. If the fire
y limits are to be extended to River
street, then 1 would also favor extend
ing them up to Punchbowl street."
5 w. G. Achi: Il also believe that if
. the fire limits are extended to River
q street they should be extended in this
d portion as well. l think it would be
n a mistake to make an alley less than
d twenty feet wide; then warehouses
y can be constructed along these smaller
er streets; otherwise, if you make alley:
l. of twelve feet, it would be a sacrifice t.
l. the property-owners.'

Necessity for Action.

President Wood: Il think the whole |
subject that will be brought up by
this question of the streets and alley
ways and of the extension of streets
is one that ought to be decided soon.
Further building laws should be taken
up also. The members Of the Board
have spent d great deal OF time in
Chinatown, and they were impressed
with the bad conditions there, and they
feel that such conditions should never
be permitted to occur again. We al
most felt in despair that the same con-
ditions might occur again. Now that
the place has been burned out it would
be altogether wrong for US to sit still
and allow such conditions to grow up
in these Islands again"
! Mr.. Robertson: 1T seems to me that
the proposed system should be either
| limited to an alley or decent street
should be made. A 20-foot affair
1wouId be neither one nor the other.
Either it should be enough to allow We
hicles to pass or make it a street. II
it is a street it would not be long be-
fore there were many more frontages
than before. More people would be
lcrowded in the same space. The blocks
! should be considered independently. L
I seems to me the tWenty-foot width i!
t a mistake. There should either b,
narrow alleys or decent streets.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-02-02

extreme width. I also believe that |
each block ought to be considered in
denendently. 1t is very evident that
Smith street should be extended
through to Kukui street, and the same
with Maunakea. 1t is question to be
decided soon-that of having either the
allevway or the narrow street"
Mr.. Dodge: My opinion is that the
fire limits should be extended; that
would have great weight in deciding
whether streets or alleyways are to be
opened UP"
| C. S. Desky: Il would like to sug
! gest that a map of this district, with
the plans already suggested by the
Board. be printed in the newspapers;
then the people could study the map
first before giving their ideas. l am
personally not in favor of alleyways.
In nv experience nave noticed in the
large cities of the United States the
undesirable element which is attracted
to them. You will probably get the
same element back of the japanese
stores and on these alleyways. These
alleys are usually dark; they would
|, undoubtedly bring to the property
! owners that have buildings facing or
the outside streets quite a revenue, b!
putting up just such places as they
!, have had on Pauahi street. This, a.
, 1 understands is something you are
trying to do away with. Let the biz
blocks be divided into smaller blocks

fought by the side of ours and helped us to win our victory. And now we send large army there to subjugate the natives the rightful owners of the islands. All ready we have spent upward of $l6O,o0o,o ,oO0-' and for what?
 In the first place it would be impossible for us to govern the Filpinos according to our standards. They have their own cus- toms and habits, their distinctive ethical and civil laws, and have no sympathies in common with the Anglo-Saxon It will be impossible for us to hold these people in subjection without large armies there, en- tailing an enormous expenditure of money, far in excess of any commercial profits we may hope to derive from possession of the archipelago.
 My idea is that we should withdraw our troops, gradually or at once, and turn the islands over to the natives. Instead of send ing soldiers let us send statesmen to the Philippines, men who can assist the islanc- CTS to establish substantial republican government, with which we can easily se- cure trade treaties that will give us all the privileges and profits of possession without the responsibilities thereof.
 It might be well for this country to hold A naval station in the island of Buzon but Aguinaldo is willing to give us that He would very willingly form a close, friendly alliance with this countryy and concede every reasonable privilege we might ask for.
 I cannot see why we should go to the op- posite side of the world to acquire territory by conquest, with the added danger of in- volving ourselves in the meshes of Eu- ropes lust for eastern land. ] believe pub lie sentiment is undergoing a rapid change. and that the Filpinos are coming to be re- garded as a people entitled to all the rights of civilized nation. This country has never before undertaken job of conquest.
 It is contrary to our national principles. and is destined to prove disastrous. Con- quest was Spain's habit. Are we to begin 1t where she left off? One of the saddest spectacles in the history of the rise and fall of nations wns the decline and final overthrow of the Spanish empire, which on the face of tho earth.

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of Indi'
 gestion

Very few people are free from some form of Indigestion, but scarcely two will nave the same symptoms.
 Some suffer most directly after eating, bloating from gas dn stomach and bowels, others have heartburn or sour risings, sttli others have palpitation of heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoulder blades, some have extreme nerv- ousness as in nervous dyspepsia
 But whatever the symptoms may be, the cause in all cases of indigestion is the same, that is, the stomach for some reason fadlS to properly and promptly digest what is eaten.
 This Is the whole story of stomach troub- les in a nutshell. The stomach must have rest and assistance, and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give 1t both by supplying those natural digestives which every weak stom- ach lacks, owing to the failure or tie peptic glands in the stomach to secrete sufficient acid and pepsin to thoroughly digest ana assmilate the food eaten.
 One grain of the active principle in Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains Of meat, eggs or other wholesome fcod and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which any one can per- form for himself in the following manner: Cut hard boiled eggs into very small pieces, as it would be If masucated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets in bottle oa. jar containing warm water heated to 9S
 
 keep it at this temperature for three and one-haH hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of hungry boy.
 The point of this experiment is that what Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle it will do to the egg or meat in the stoma ach,s cad nothing else wil rest and inyigorate the stomach safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and benefit if its digestion is weak, and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular daily use are easily explained when it is understood that they are cos1Sosed of vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingle with the food and digest 1t thoroughly, giving the over worked stomach a chance to recuper- ate.
 Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and calhartic medicines, which simply irritate and infiame the irtestin
 When enough food is eaten and promptly digested there will be no constipation, nor an fact will there be disease of any kind, because good digestion means good health in every organ.
 The merit and success of Stuart's Dys- pepsa Tablets are worldwide, and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cts. for full sized package In every drug store in the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe.
 For the information of those interested a Mtte book will be mailed free by address, ing F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich. giv- ing briefly the symptoms of the various forms of stomach weakness, causes and cure.

MY VIEWS ON THE
 PHILIPPINE QUESTION
Ry .John Sherman.

r bata to comment upon our existing reia- lions with the Filipinos because my reel anes lin the matter are decidedly strong ana ,nv words are apt to be considered as un- friendly to the administration, which | do not intend. I am opposed to the idea of this country holding the Philippines and subJu- gating the natives. I do not belleVe we have any business in the islands
 The Falipinos are "a people superior 10 any otber Malay race. They have literature and fine arts distinctive and almost national in character; they are eminently cpable or governing themselves, and they are splendid fighters They have been misrepresenSed to the American people.
 Many of us have been led to believe that Agunaldo's followers were horde or or ganized savages That the contrary IS true has now been established to the saasiac- tion of fair minded Americans.
 While the country was fired with the ex- pa afision idea I was criticised for my stand against policy of conquest In the Pnliap- pines I was called unpatriotic because refused to see the wisdom or justice or tax ing possession of territory to which we were not rightfuly entitled
 Now believe there has been revulsion of feeling and my sentiments, it seems to me- reflect the more general view or tne matter I am in receipt Of number or let ters from men of high standing in public lie who at first were disposed ito criticize me for my Philippine views. and who now cheer fully acknowledge that through moral con victlon they are forced to agree with me
 Even the president has not escaped this reaotionary sentiment. Although he was dragged irato the business before he could fully comprehend it's inevitable and start ling results. believe he is now disposed 10 avold further bloodslhed in the islands and vvill readily sutcmit to amy honorable ar rangemer,t to the cnd of re-estabiishins pealae. I have no doubt that the country would be well pleased to be relieved or Its ca stern burden. A
 We have no rieht to cA"e the islands to Another power, because they do not belong to us I am speaking now of our moral right to do these things. We have not even the ri.ht to~claim the islands by conquest, becaus%swe have not conquered them.
