Newspapers and Growth.

one occasionally hears the assertion
that the starting of a newspaper in
Waikiki was the cause of the renwed
growth of the town. While compliment
tary, this is not true any further than
that a live newspaper in a town tends
to advertise the town. AS matter of
fact, the News Is an effect, rather than
cause, for the time had come when
local newspaper was a necessity and 1t
was only a question of who should
start it. Two other propositions We're
under serious consideration when the
News stepped in and occupied the field.
1t was the impulse of growth which had
reached the islands that caused the
influence of the paper here, and not the
influence of the paper that caused thee
