REASON FOR OMISSION.
Mr.. Wilson was asked why he did not
state the wages to be paid in the adver-
tisenents for labor. He answered:
Because we couldn't pay less than
the Government was paying for the
same class of work. The Government
sets the standard. We offer more than
the Government does, having advertised
to give sleeping quarters and credit at
the camp store for necessaries. Be

HAWAII pRoAorIoN COMMITTEE.

It is approximately one year since
the Hawaii Promotion Committee be-
gan its organized campaign to attract
tourist travel A large sum of money
has been spent; much work has been
done; an Immense amount of literature
has been seat out; interest has been
awakened in transportation companies,
who are including advertisements of
Hawaii in their literature, but we have
not yet received any marked return for
all the work done and money spent.
What shall we do. quit?
IF the Honolulu business community
is made of the stuff which the Adver-
tiser believes it is, it will do nothing
OF the kind.
Sugar plantations do not pay divid-
ends at the end of the first year. Very
few of them pay in five years, but
millions of dollars are nevertheless
poured into sugar plantations, and this
whole Territory lives on the profits of
sugar.
Tourist travel is more difficult to Gre
ate than sugar plantation; but once
created it is more certainly and con-
tinueusly profitable than the best SUI
gar plantation that ever sweltered un-
der the trooic sun.
what man has done, man can do"
Southern California created a great
tourist resort out of a dusty desert,
some hot days and cool nights, some
cold sea and barren mountains.
What else did she have to attract
tourists? Climate? People go from
Riverside to St. Louis to get cool in
summer. while down east Yanks from
Maine shiver in Los Angeles in winter.
Scenery? The plains are fat and
commonplace. the mountains bald and
monotonous.
Forests. foliage? The forests are q
distant tradition, the foliage sage brush
and cactus.
Population? Greasers, coyotes and
buzzards-until few wise men came
from the east. brainy men, determined
men who knew what they wanted and
proceeded to get it. They liked the
climate, which is good for IONS
lungers." and determined to live there:
but how to make a living was the
problem. Oranges grew with irriga-

SOUTH AFRICAN PARALLEL.

| A citizen has handed the Advertiser
la newspaper clipping that contains a
Telegram from Maritzburg, South Afri-
ca, giving a report of a, murder trial at
| that place. The case is very like that
of Jose Miranda, the Porto Rican to be
sentenced here tomorrow. 1t was that
of prominent citizen deliberately
murdered by a partly educated bar
barian out of vengeance for mere words
of censure. Frank Kent, an architect
of Maritzburg, was killed by his SER
want, Umatanaza, IAN educated sort of
Kaffir,'' the dispatch calls him, in a
particularly cold-blooded fashion on
July 5.
Prisoner" the account reads, who
had ben severely spoken to by the de-
ceased on the day in question, took his
masters revolver from a bedroom
drawer and shot Mr.. Kent in the back
of the head as he was sitting at break
fast. Returning later and finding Mr..
Kent still living, the prisoner fired two
more shots into him.
Having been arrested on the Informal
ton of fellow Kaffir servant, the
murderer at the preliminary examina-
ton made full confession-about as
Miranda did here to the authorities be-
fore his case came to any judicial in
vestigation. When the Kafir was
brought to trial the same difficulty
about counsel to defend him occurred
as did in the Porto Rican's case here.
but at Maritzburg it would appear that
| there is no constitutional compulsion in
the matter and what is said to have
| been unprecedented at Maritzburg hap
pened, in that the accused was tried
without counsel to defend him. The
telegraphed report says: 1.-The Attorney
General. in opening the case, said the
Crown had endeavored to give the Gus
tomary privilege to the prisoner of be-
ing defended by counsel, but the legal
practitioners in town had all refused to
appear on prisoners behalf"
The trial took place on August 1. or
within month of the crime. after
evidence had been called" the report
says, "a verdict of guilty was returned
and sentence of death was passed.

If Southern California could secure
tourists by advertising, and by follow

their arrival, we can do the same.

There should be no thought of CIV
ing. up the work of advertising Hawaii.
A more economical expenditure of
money may be possible; better man )
ager may be obtainabIe; different i,
channels of work may be more adj
vantageousiy followed; all these are
matters of detail, to be dealt with as
details are handled in other lines or
business; but under no circumstances
should the good work of promoting
tourist travel to Hawaii be abandoned.
Hawaii is a better tourist resort than
is Los Angeles; there is more to see:
more to learn, more to do. The only
trouble is that the world does not
know it,
Our business is to make them know
it. The way to do this. and the only
way, is to keep eyerlastingly at it. Let
nothing stop us, nothing discourage US.
nothing turn US aside. If this course

MUSIC AIDS SURGERY.

Perhaps the strangest use to which
music can be put is to stop the flow of
blood from a wound. An army doctor
noticed that when a wounded sol Ter
was taken to within an easy hearing
distance of music hemorrhage was
greatly reduced or stopped. Neither he
nor others who confirmed his obserya-
lions could understand how this pherlo-
menon was brought about, but it is
now said that the vibration of the air
produced by the music causes the pa
tient to become faint, in which case the
action of the heart is so considerably
lessened that the overflow of blood is
reduced.

MURDER AGAIN.

For the third time within a month
murder has been committed in Homo
Iulu's hitherto peaceful boundaries. The
time was, but few years since, when
murder was the rarest of crimes in Ha-
wall Years elapsed without homi-
eide Now murder is becoming chronic
-an incident of the day!
What is to be done about it?
The police do their part, and do it
well.
Rarely does murderer escape the
police; but, as a rule, capture by the
police is simply the first step in course
OF judicial jugglery which results in the
freedom of the murderer. while his vic
tim rots in the grave.
The remedy for murder is retribution,
prompt, sure, decisive!
That such procedure is possible. is
demonstrated by the procedure in the
Damon case.
The Naone case and the latest Porto
Rican case can and should be handled
as promptly.
If the Jones case had been handled
as vigorously as was the Damon case,
the probability is that the Naone hor-
ror would not have occurred.

which disgraced Hawaii under the title
of the Territory of Hawaii VS.. E. NJ.

yet been secured to try him on the sec

IF Jones was not guilty in the first
case, he should not be convicted in the
second.
II Jones can shoot down a helpless,
defenseiess woman and go scott free,
why should not Naon- be allowed the
same privilege? And if Naone is thus
privileged, why is it not the right of
every man in the town? We are headed
in the direction which will establish the
right to murder by prescription and the
custom of the country.
