Roebuck & Co. are doing today. Talk
about your slot machines, race tracks,
gambling hells, trading stamps and
mail order premiums-there is only
step to divide one from the other. The
tendency is all in the same direction
and we defy anyone to prove either as
absolutely straight, square, honorable
or legitimate business.
We cannot agree with Barnum that
the people like to be humbugged.
Many don't think. Many read and
doubt, then they turn to the references.
The First National bank says, We
will testify to their integrity and re-
sponsibility. Anyone is secure in
sending money. We know the officers
and stockholders of Sears, Roebuck &
Co., and believe they can be relied
upon to do exactly as they agree"
The Corn Exchange bank says practi-
cally the same thing. This often de-
cides the farmer. He sends his
money in advance "a most unbusiness-
like procedure) valves his right OF Sc
lection, Of examination.
His knowledge of the quality, merit
and actual value of goods is limited.
None but the expert really knows
bargain when he sees it; how, then,
can the farmer who only buys occas-
ionally, as his needs justify, be expect
ed to Judge Of real worth or quality?
Thus we see why the catalogue sys-
tenn has the advantage of the estab-
lished dealer, where they are safe in
making absurd guarantees. 1t requires
time and trial to really test an article.
If it is used, it can't be returned; if it
is defective or inferior, there must be
a claim made and proven. The article
must be boxed and Grated, delivered
to the railroad, bill of lading secured
and sent with full explanation to the
catalogue house. After long delay,
and provided everything is regular and
the catalogue house can't substitute
some other plunder, the customer may
get his money back. One experience
of this kind is usually enough, how
ever, and the catalogue house has very
little use for this sort of buyer. AS a
matter of fact we have been informed
that in not one case out of hundred
has a dissatisfied customer been able
to. secure the return of his money.
When complaint is made it is turned
over to the claim department, the
smoothest and most expert letter
writers are employed 10 soothe, pacify
and soft soap the kickers Gas they are
termed). They nearly always sue
ceed.
How different with the local mer
chant, who must face the buyer, make
only truthful statements and guarantees
replace or make good any flaw or i'm
perfection, show the goods and delive
them, often to the buyers home. Who
is entitled to the farmers confidence
and patronage7 Which system offer
the most honest, satisfactory and valu
able service?

Lamb renominated.
Crops in his locality were as good as
he had ever seen, his fall wheat being
headed out and four feet high. He
expects big yield. Fruit was looking
fine.

VENDETTA

"Thelma" proved such an immense
hit at the Orpheum Therter and people
are so generally expressing a desire to
see another play adapted from Marie
Carellis romantic world, that the Ma
tionay Stock Company, Buhler's popu-
lar players, will tonight produce that
most sensational and romantic of dra-
mas, "Fabio Romani, or The Vendetta"
instead of Three Hats" as previously
announced.
An Italian artist has for a friend a
man whom he swears by. The artist
marries. The friend loves the artists
wife. The artist is taken i'll and, sup
posedly dying is laid away in the fam
lily vault The widow and the ar
lists friend" are now unhampered
But the artist comes to life, finds treas
ures in the vault and moves again
among men. much changed by his eX-
periences. His wife meets him and
falls i'm love with him What follows
is calculated to jog the emotions.
The vault scene is something not to
be missed. Nothing of the kind has
ever before been attempted on the To-
cal stage.

In the corporation exhibits case the
issue is a very clear one, the Code com
mission having made quite a change in
section 2565, which is a section being
contested. As it appears i'm the Revised
Laws, now the standard authority, the
section says ANY person or persons
who shall .......... hold themselves out
to be a corporation without having
complied with the provisions of LAW
shall be held to be guilty of a INSIDE
meanor" The same section, i'm the
Laws of 1897 had the words this act
where the word law" appears i'm the
later volume. The change was made
by the Code Commission, and it eX-
tends the penalties provided by the
section to any violation of law, instead
of leaving them applicable only to
those contained i'm the "act" referred
to originally.
In large number of cases such
changes We're made, and it will be con-
tended that the Commission exceed its
powers i'm so amending laws The le-

Will HONOLULU
USE HOME SUGAR
LOCAL GROCERS SAY THAT IT
WILL DEPEND ENTIRELY UPON
THE PRICE OF THE SUGAR.

Now that the Crockett Sugar Re
fnery has started operations as an
nounced in Saturdays Star the ques-
ton naturally arises whether Honolulu
will be eating the home product or
not.
c. j. Day of Day X Co., grocers, stat
ed this morning that he would pur-
chase sugar wherever he could get it
the cheapest If the Crockett sugar
could be purchased at the same Price
as other kinds he would probably use
that. At present the home product
he said, is too dark to be a good seller
and so sugar refined i'm the states has
been used.
H. f. Lewis, president of Lewis & Co.
said that his firm purchased all Of
their sugar through the San Francisco
house. For many years they had had
very pleasant business relations with
Spreckels.
Competition Is the life of trade"
said Mr.. Lewis "and competition is
what we like to see. We shall buy
sugar from where we can get it the
cheapest for that is business"

them, it is whispered by some, Acting
Governor Atkinson may be lined up
though the acting governor is not talk
ing politics just now. However. those
who are opposed to the machine"
which the above names represent. de-
clare that the acting governor is with
the Lane element and that the "ad-
ministration" forces are likely to help
out, just as the county forces seem TO
be lining up.
Adams is a good deal talked of as
candidate for county treasurer and is
SAID to be willing to run, as is also
George p. Thielen, Lucas is likely to
run for supervisor again, and Brown
for sheriff. All are likely to support
kuhio for delegate and many have an
axe in hand for Achi.
Senator Achfs views of the ma
chine are interesting. The senator's
looks upon the movement as largely
formed to down him and he has plenty
of uncomplimentary things to say
about the proposition.
First said the senator, there was
Lucas and sam Johnson, and they

they found they had not enough, and
they took in Adams. still there did not
appear to be enough to beat Achi, and
Lane was called i'm, After a while, they
thought they hadn't enough again, and
so they got Lane and last they thought
they completed it by getting in Char
ley Clark Maybe after a while they
viii find they have not enough again,
and viii take in somebody else.
Il don't care if they do beat me. |
don't care about any office. All I am
1ghtng for is to prevent the govern
ment from making a machine. Many
people want me to run, but don't care.
All | know is that If the government
officials are going to run the party,
that will be the end of the party"
The talk caused by the Lane move
ment has led to some queer specula-
tons as to the next campaign For ex-
ample, the principal elements left out
of the so-called machine crowd are the
Robertson supporters as against Ku-
hio and the Civic Federation, and a
combination of these two elements
would be Every strange bedfellows" af-
ter the last county campaign which
Robertson managed against the Civics.

with plenty of work at high wages. He
