Problem Club in the Y. NJ. c. A. room!
last evening. Mr.. Il. Nj. Boyd gave a
very entertaining half hour talk or
the subject, to the largest audience
which has attended the clubs meet
ings for months.
Mr.. Boyd spoke of the difficulties
with which the Hawaii Promotion
Committee had to contend and asked
the cooperation of all the people In
getting tourists to come here. He
also gave some interesting facts In
connection with the crusade since. IL
was inaugurated October lat. The to-
tai cost of the advertising had been
$4,000 which included the magazine dis
plays. With that expenditure OF
money the committee expected to reach
three and a half million readers. Com
pairing the work in Hawaii to other
advertising propagandas. Mr.. Boyd
stated that when the Rock Island sent
| its new special train to the Pacific
Coast, it spent $4,000 in advertising
before the train left the Chicago de-
pot. And yet critics here call us ex-
travagant." said he, when we expend
$4,000 in advertising beautiful Ha-
wall"
Mr.. Boyd said he wanted to speak

propaganda. He said that no man

unless he believed in it himself. one

and support of every citizen of Ha-
wall in the work. He himself be-
lieved in Hawaii as a tourist resort
But the committees efforts would be
circumscribed unless everyone assist
ed. The committees work was i'm
personal; what Is most needed is to
have every one personally send to
friends and start an inquiry directed
towards Hawaii. This was most
needed-the help of all citizens in the
work. In this connection Mr.. Boyd
spoke of the work in California. the
intensity with which residents doomed
the State Last year 50, 900 tourists
came to stay and there were 2I5,0O0
visitors altogether. This year prepa-
rations were beil made to entertain
100000 visitors.
In California railroad men had told
him that the success I'm California was
due to the personal interest taken by
residents If that State in inducing
tourists to come. UNLESS the people
of Hawaii believe that this is a good
place to come to and to stay, and i'm
press this upon their friends, we must
fall II we succeed" concluded Mr..
Boyd, 1T is your success. II we fail
1t is not your failure but ours"
A general discussion followed in
which many Of those present took
part. DR.. C. B. High said he believed
thoroughly in the tourist proposition
and that the campaign had been too
long neglected I'm the past. Hundreds
of thousands of tourists had passed
through here who might have been
made advertising agents for the ISL
ands. He also said that If anything
happened to sugar the country would
have to depend upon tourists and that
because sugar had been king, people
had been too Independent to pay at
tention to tourists in the past
w. G. Weldon also indorsed Mr..
Boyd's remarks and said he believed
in Hawaii. He had first lectured
here many years ago and had come
back to live He believed also that
Hawaii could be made not only "A tour.
list resort but "A place for homes.
John Martin interjected n little spir-
1t into the discussion with the remark,
Lord save me from place built UP
by tourists. Look at Pasadena" he
said, They eat. sleep and die there
That's Pasadena. All you get is the
sick He also said he had rather
nave mechanic than tourist in Ha-
wall.
Mr.. Martin refused to explain what
he meant but promised to see Mr.
Boyd later and give him some facts.
We all make allowances for Mr.. Mar
