DAILY MARKET LETTER.

Wall Street, New York. April A.
After the sharp advance and the strong
closing Of the market yesterday stocks
opened irregular and lower this morn
ing, but up until the time the bank
statement was posted they held up
fairly. well. The statement was worse
than anyone expected, ana consequent
ly the market broke badly. The cur.
rent news so far is rather adverse TO
any improvement in the market and
local sentiment seems generally in
favor Of taking the selling side for
speculation. Money rates continue
stiff and the movement OF currency is
still oozing out Of the banks into the
Golfers Of the sub-treasury. There
have also been rumors that Morgan
has been selling the market quietly
during the past few days and many
traders believe that Mr.. Morgan in.
tends to repudiate his statements as
published in the Times. but as yet has
not done so. A most singular factor
was characterized from the fact that
during the heavy selling that came
ostensibly from some inside interests.
IL not Morgan, there was no sign of
absorption, which generally appears at
the low level on similar occasions.
Gall money continues firm.

THE TOURIST PROPORTION.

There is no need for the creation of
new body for the handling of any
money that may be appropriated by the
Legislature. for the purpose of adver-
Using the Territory. The Chamber of
Commerce and the Merchants Associa-
ton has had for nearly a half year a
joint committee which has outlined
ways and means and is now well ready
to prosecute the work of making known
the advantages of the Territory the
world around.
Taking the Governors message to the
Legislature, it would seem that he has
committed himself to the plan of the
business bodies, for he suggests aid for
their undertakings. There could be
then no official who would try to adj
vertise himself or seek aggrandize-
ment by the preparation of literature
so aimed, as is limited. The money
would go for the writing, printing and
distributing of literature to draw to
Hawaii, visitors, settlers and investors.
There would be perhaps no fat and
jaundiced volumes, but there would be
crisp, snappy pamphlets. costing from
two to five cents each, which thus
could be spread broadcast.
1t has got to come some way The
business people were honest in suggest
ing that the Legislature help. 1t is
small amount asked when the gains are
so thoroughly out of proportion Not
a single line of business but would feel
the impulse of visitors. They are bound
to come. The question is, shall we wait
or follow traditional American lines
and go after and get what We want?

SHALL WE DISPUTE
The Opinions of Scores OF
Our Fellow Citjzeps.

Residents of Honolulu, like other
American citizens, in making an in
vestment want to be sure of getting the
worth of their money They want TO
know all the why's and wherefores. and
in a direct ratio to the value of the in
vestment they burrow and ferret until
satisfied with the collateral. Take an
instance in the realm of proprietary
articles. If We know OF a friend who
has been cured we have some faith In
the preparation; if we know of two or
three our faith increases. If the cures
reach scores all well known citizens,
anyone who stin maintains that there
is nothing beyond ordinary merit in
the said preparation. can safely be left
to the care of his fellow taxpayers. If
he wishes to pick quarrel with them
on the question of their judgment and
Veracity, he has ample opportunity in
Honolulu to do so. Begin with this
case.

MALIeNINe TIE HEALTH BOARD.

Coming from a Home Ruler, no one
would pay more than smiling half at
tention to the cry that the Board of
Health magnified conditions so as to
draw more money from the Territory.
but when a responsible Senator lends
himself to the senseless uproar against
a body, whose work in keeping clean
and open Territorial ports during two
years past, demands such full recog-
milton, the charitable view to take is
that he does not know.
Such men do not take into considera-
ton that the business men of this city
have contributed hundreds OF dollars a
month for the keeping clean of the city.
Distinction. inspection, quarantine
work, all has been done at high cost
and the result has been clean city.
1t cannot be that the Senatorial critic
knew this or he would hardly have
been so palpably unfair. The Board Of
Health has worked extremely hard; has
stretched its meager appropriations

has faced them and come out ahead.
with colors flying. the port clean and
business uninterrupted. OF those who
cannot see little is expected but the
purblindness of any intelligent sena-
tor. a business man himself, is inexpli-
cable. Even the failure to land friend
as president of the Board hardly would
warrant such extreme lengths.

THE BATTLE WITH VICE.

The value of the police raid as a
means Of depressing vice is not meas
ured by its results in court It Is often
difficult to get evidence. especially
against the keepers Of disorderIy houses
of the new uptown type. and on that
account charges made in court are apt
to fail. Nevertheless II the raids are
persistent and continuous they prove a
remedy of themselves in that they
brighten away patrons. The latter
know that, If they are caught in the
police net. they viii be summoned as
witnesses and that their names viii be
likely TO see print. The fear thus in
spIred is enough to keep them ct a dis
tanee.
The mistress of the principal city
joint knew this when. on opening her
place, she took pains to assure the ten
derloin public that there would be no
raids by the police. She said she had
things fixed" that no annoyance need
be expected from the law or its officers.
That was the one point which the wom-
an dwelt upon, and she made 1t clear,
without intending to do so, that If the
police did their duty she would have

note carefully where they are kept and
steal them back afterwards.

Australian Tea.

In the interior of Australia all the
mel drink tea. They drink il all day

that would seem to be poisonous. ON

The pot is hung oven the fire with a
suficiency of water in ii for the days

pours into il enough of the fragrant

liquid.

ess: Oh Tuesday da capo and on We'd

pot is filled with an acrid mash Of tea
leaves. out of which the liquor is
squeezed by the pressure of Il tin cup.
BY this time the tea is of the color Of
rusty iron, incredibly bitter and diSa-
greeable to the uneducated palate. The
native calls ii real good old post and

from n stiff and dangerous jump, and
regards it as having been brought to

q curious and somewhat unpleasant or

steeds, plunge into the water and strug.
gle as best they may to the other side.
The music of a brass band cheers them
during their struggles in the dirty wa
ter. This ancient custom dates from

a visit to the town in 1910 and found
NO ntting welcome prepared for him.
The blame of this state of u%nprepared-

WAS A PRETTY CEREMONY.
Militia Bill Receives the Presidents
Signature.

Washington, Jan. 22.- President
Roosevelt during the afternoon signed
the militia bill recently passed by con-
gress. The final act in the making Of
the new law vas attended by q pretty
ceremony.
Gathered around the table as the
president appended his signature to
the measure were Secretary Root, Sec
rotary Shaw. Assistant Secretary San
ger, Rel resentatives Dick. Parker,
Stark, Wiley. Conroy. Gaines and Bris-
tow, all Of the house committee ON
military affairs; w. f. Marsh. secre-
tary of the committees; General NJ. H.
Meyers, adjutant general of Iowa; Gen.
eral Bird s. Spencer, adjutant general
of New Jersey, and Colonel f. j. DIM
mick. president OF the national guard
association. After the president had
signed the bill, Secretary Root deliv-
r a brief speech of congratulation
to the committee on the enactment Of
so excellent a measure. General DIM
mick, the author of the bill and the
president of the national guard asso-
citation, made q fitting response. Pres
ident Roosevelt then spoke of the mer-
Its of the bill. He expressed the hope
that no president ever would be con-
frOnted by such ali emergency as
would render it necessary for MIN to
avail himself Of the services Of the
troops provided for in the bill, but
congratulated the committee and the
country on its enactment and said he
regarded the citizen soldiery of the
nation as a most important factor in
the protection Of the country. The
president gave the pen with which he
had signed the measure to Colonel
Dimmick.
