trio cars soon make them desirable
residence property. Imagine King
street twenty feet from store to store,
then take of four feet on each side =,
for sidewalks, put in telephone poles,
and what have you got leftY 1t would
look as though the city authorities
ought to know that any addition to the
city, however remote, will eventually
be built up, and that a street less than
forty feet from curb to curb Is too mar.
row for traffic and that any addition
with streets narrower than forty feet
should not be filed. If there is no law
that keeps property holders from filing
such additions, it Is time one was
made.
Why do people generally suppose
that the Salvation Army, Peniel Mis-.
sion and Gospel tents are for the ben.
eft OF the slums? We read about
their work in slums OF the big cities,
among the low grog.shops fallen WON.
en- and the like, and our hearts expand
and We wish we could only find them
to donate some of our hardearned
quarters. Wherever we have wander.
ed we have found them, in the lowest,
dirtiest part of the city. Here in Ho.
nolulu we find them wITereY In Ka.
kaako. Kewalo, along the waterfront?
No; I guess not. | wonder II the par.

Sums of Honolulu
Some time ago one OF the papers
had an item to the effect that Mr..
Kincald had heard some one remark
that his church was a clam chowder
affair, so he stated he was going to do
missionary work in a tent. We gen.
u orally think of savages when mission.
e aries are mentioned, and all kinds of
i hardships and dangers, but for us we
" cannot see that the tent with its new
e chairs is much more uncomfortable
e than the Central Union or that there
70 is any change in the congregation. If
&c the Gospel tent, the Salvation Army
II or the Pencil Mission wish to do the
work they were organized tor, 1t
would look as though they would go

Kakaako and Kewalo.
Is Why do those who are interested in
plantations howl about no labor for
is tho pla nj a..
Washington and say they can't run
III their plantations without Asiatics.
They say that all that have been
Is brought here are still on the planta.
tions, but they have not got enough
ell yet wonder II the laboring class in
Honolulu think, after hunting around
IN town or on the waterfront for job,
there are any Japs or Chinese left
III on the plantations. Is there a single
building in the course of erection to.
N day in Honolulu that Japanese and
Chinese are not doing most of the la.
ID Dor upon? Who is putting in the
foundation for the building on the cor
ner Of Merchant and Alakea street :?
Who built the stone building on King
street in the burned district and who
ale putting up the brick buildings
there now? OF course this makes nb
- difference to white stone masons or
N. bricklayers. On the Young building,
ne white rough carpenters got 81. so day,
es on the fire proofing, while skilled JAMS
We got 81 to do the more difficult work !
X. II is natural for contractors to employ
the cheapest labor they can get but,
N. If those who are interested In planta.
to tons wish to keep the Asiatics on the
or plantations, why do they not put the
Ic. saving clause in the contract, that no
he Japs or Chinese are to be employed?
en- So long as they only competed with
tn the laborer and mechanic very little
ID. was said, but now that they are get.
he ting into contractors and other bust.
he nesses We hear howl. The Japs
III could not leave the plantations If they
ch were not employed In town. They
st would be foolish indeed to work for
at s22 month on plantations when they
can get from 81 to $3.50 in town. II
m. those men. who are worrying them.
as selves to death about getting more la.
or Dor for the plantations. would put in
10. more of their worry on keeping what
,st they have from running the white me.
lg, ohanics of the Islands, they would
or not find themselves short of laborers.
oil OF course, II they want the Japs to
ed do all the work. run all the business
he and the Island in general. that's their

re. and all that, but there are other nice
he places to live. and none OF US own any
of the empty houses we see scattered
about town.
