JAPANESE COMMENT ON
SOME AFFAIRS OF HONOLULU

Hawaii, known as 1.-The Paradise of
the Pacific" is finding out some of the
drawbacks of her closer union to
civilization" In Honolulu papers, to
hand today, a somewhat unimportant
news item is given prominence by the
heading Five cent beer has now ar
rived" and the subject is further ex-
planned in the following characteristic
style: And now with all the other
accompaniments of progress comes five
cent beer. Not the schooner, not the
long glass either. simply the beer, FIVE
cents worth, but it is accompanied with
the free lunch and drawn from the
wood. so that it draws a crowd to the
front of the bar" Possibly five cent
beer may be regarded as an accom-
paniment of progress but it hardly
seems the sort of progress that is most
desirable in a community. Moreover,
Hawaii appears to be also suffering
from its discovery by the agile news
paper correspondent. So long as the
happy islands were cut off from the
mainland and drowsed along with their
profitable sugar and fruit industries,
they only afforded a field to the poet
icaI adventurer. such as Charles War
rem Stoddard, who depicted the tropi-
cal beauties of the sea-kissed shores
with delightful optimism. But with
the coming of the cable and the exploit
ing of Oriental trade" a change has
fallen upon careless Hawaii. The
lotus-land where it was always after
noon has become an important COM
mercial factor in the carrying trade
and the sum of its idyllic attractions
is being coldly weighed in sordid scales
'against the sum of it's exports. All the
trouble has apparently come about
through the alleged decision of the So
called Hill line not to make Honolulu a
port of call for it's big steamers that
are proposed to run between Tacoma
and the Orient. The plain announce

ment might have been tacitly accepted,
with some reservation of resentment it
might be, but still accepted. However
the announcement has reached the Ha-
waiians through a newspaper CORES
pendent, who writes to a San Fran
cisco paper what are very unpalatable
statements to the Hawaiian complacen-
cy. This correspondent says that the
authorities of the Hill line have been
confirmed by an interview with a Mr..
b. F. Dillingham;, general manager of
the Oahu railroad and an authority on
commercial conditions in the islands,
in their belief that it would be s.
waste of time" to make Honolulu
port of call They learned that aside
from fluctuating tourist traffic and
incidental commerce in curios. tropical
fruits and the by-products of the ISL
ands, there was nothing worth the ex-
pense and trouble of conveying away
The correspondent also introduced such
phrases as 1.-The belated COMPREHENSION
of these planters; 1.-The Hawaiian is
born to a vivid imagination, and the
poesy of his expression is unIicensed:"
and thus the sea isles that we have
erected into the proud emineuce of a
free and independent territory, of a
free and independent republic, resolve
themselves into a mere summer resort
FOR lazy tourists-a lounging place.
temporarily, for the people who dress
for dinner and gossip of their neigh
bors in the interval" Then, again. he
emphasizes a bitter conclusion of the
growing decadence of Hawaiian COM
merce." Into the merits of the matter
there is no occasion now to enter.
Those lines which do call at Honolulu
and make a profit there will natural
" be inclined to impute Sour grapes"
to Mr.. Hills line. but this particular
sharp criticism of the progressive ISL
ands has naturally stirred up a hornets
nest around the head Of its writer. The
Mr.. Dillingham;, referred to, denies the
general tenor given TO the Hill line
managers conclusions and says they
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-06-25

gave him to understand that they were
much impressed with the possibilities
of Hawaiian trade. The press of Homo
lulu also takes up the cudgels against
the unhappy correspondent and says he
"garbled' the views of Mr.. Hills rep
resentative. One paper specially re-
sents the imputation that Hawaii IS
a burden to the American taxpayer and
says that a man of business and re-
sponsibility would know that Hawaii
not only pays it's own expenses but
eases the burden of the American tax
office and internal revenue receipts, to
an amount between one and two mill
lion dollars annually. To say nothing
of it's strategic value, Hawaii, as
purely commercial proposition is one
in which the nation may take pride"
All of which may be true, but it may
also be true that the correspondent, if
somewhat disregardful of Hawaiian
been right as to the main fact that
the Hill line will not make Honolulu
a port of call. That is a matter that
experts in the Pacific carrying trade
only can decide, and its decision does
not affect the point that Yokohama is
the natural point in Japan for any
trans pacific line TO make its initial OBJ
iective port from the west. But the
incident foreshadows the coming of
the special correspondent to Japan,
with all that it means. The American
cable is expected to be laid and work
ing to Manila next month, if not by
the Fourth of July then little later,
and japan will be a little nearer to
all these blessings of civilization"
Soon there will be feeder lines and
afterwards direct communication by
cable with America. and then the can
ard may be expected to become ac-
cIirnatized here. In these days of
rather difficult intentional relations,
an irresponsible correspondent might
matters amroad and there
are many domestic matters in Japan
that might be mischievous if handled
with unsympathetic hastiness. 1t is

WHAT WE HAVE

learned. The century just closed
was the most wonderful of all
the centuries since the morning
of time. Whether the twentieth
will equal it remains to be seen.
Conspicuous among its inyen-
tions and discoveries is the ad-
vance made in preventing and
curing disease. Great epidemics
no longer sweep over the world;
men have learned how to choke
these monsters in the hour Of
their birth. And as to those
diseases which were practically
universal and continuous, dis
eases which afflicted and des-
troyed more people than coca
sional outbreaks of cholera, small
pox or plague, we have them
non under control to an extent
that, twenty-five years ago, was
not dreamed of as possible. The
list includes Scrofula, Anemia,
La Grippe, Influenza, Troubles
of the Throat, Lungs, Stomach
end Bowels and all Wasting
Complaints. Over these scourges
of the human race the speci-
fc and antidote provided by
progressive medical science Is
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
It is palatable as honey and con-
tains the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by US from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. Its medici-
nal and reconstructive power is
more than remarkable nothing
compares with it. 1t never fails
to make the weak strong and
as an effective remedy for vast
ing diseases it stands in the front
rank in the march of medicine.
It comes to the rescue Of those
who have received no benefit
from any other treatment: the
blood is purified and disease
germs thrust ont Of the system.
