KENNEL CLUB
ON THE TAPIS

After much private discussion, it is
practically certain that Honolulu will
have what it has long needed, a kennel
club.
Col. Will E. Fisher is taking the mi
tiative in the matter and all interested
in dogs and the formation of a kennel
club are invited to attend a meeting
to be held in Mr. Fishers office on
Tuesday at 7:30 p m.
The objects of a kennel club are
many. The main idea is to foster and
encourage the acquisition and breeding
of pure bred dogs, to improve the STAN
dard, to acquire and disseminate among
members, knowledge Of the breeding
and raising of dogs, and to hold bench
shows.
Dog owners are numerous in Homo
lulu and there are a surprising num-
Der of surprisingly good dogs in this

THE AUTOMOBILE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Talk of private automobile speed
| ways is rampant again, in the States
| as it has been annually for several
| years. Most of it is of the maybe
| brand but there are excellent reasons
TO believe that out of it all at least one
speedway will be built, probably in
New Jersey.
Next season will witness a very i'm
portant practical demonstration of the
merits of the tWo-cycle form of en-
gines versus the four-cycle A great
many orders for the new two-cycle
Olds model have been placed by en-
thusiasts who are mechanically wise
and believe in the thing, so that there
will be no lack of opportunity for COM
parison.
For several years the combination
of tire makers, which is not a trust
by the way, but a pool, has been al
most as absolute in it's field as the
Standard Oil Company has been in it's
sphere. This year, however, will wit
ness some determined efforts to break
the pool There is no truth in the ru-
mors of split in the combination, but
that the new tire company launched
by the Independent, or unlicensed
manufacturers, will not operate the
only opposition tire plant this year.
There will be several of them started.
The association of licensed manufac-
tureres have not made any move in
this direction, but the members have
adopted a significant resolution which
means an end to tame acquiescence
to the conditions imposed by the tire
pool.
For those who are interested in the
mechanical details of automobiles there
are some excellent pointers in a pam
phlet entitled "Fashioning a Crank
shaft" which has just been issued by
the Electric Vehicle Company, of Hart
ford and will be sent free upon re-
quest. 1t illustrates various methods
of turning out crankshafts and aXles,
dwelling at length upon the European
method of machining crankshafts cold
from the solid slabs of steel, as is
done for Columbia cars.
With the proportion of expense
running as it is, the scripture may be
paraphrased by asking: What does
1t matter to man if he smashes his
whole car, SO long as he saves the

YACHTSMEN'S
ACTIVE DAY

Although the close season for yacht
ing is now on, today will be busy
one with the boats.
Several parties are going down to
Pearl Harbor, among them being Com
modore Picker and a party of IS in the
flagship Spray, Clarence Macfarlane in
the La Paloma and S. A. Jaeger in
the Skip.
A number of launch parties will also
go to the lochs today
The yachtsmen will go by train to
their headquarters at the Peninsula,
and will sail from there to Puuloa,
where anchors will be dropped and
lunch partaken of.
There will be no racing, the day be-
ing devoted to social pleasures on the
wave.
Commodore Picker is of the opinion
that the trans-Pacific yacht race will
surely occur.
He thinks it would be a splendid
thing for the Hawaii Yacht Club to
have it's headquarters on the Kunst
property in KapioIani Park, recently
acquired by the county. He sees no
reason to prevent a broad channel be-
ing dredged to allow of entrance and
exit for the small craft and expects
the matter to be carefully investigated
right away.

RATE OF WAGES AND COST OF
LIVING.

An effort was recently made by
the Labor Bureau to show that the
cost of living has not risen proper
tionately with the increase of
wages. The bulletin takes care to
select the classes Of wages and
makes the exceptionally high wages
Of certain skilled labor the test for
a false conclusion. The number of
employees in factories is small COM
pared with the army of labOrers in
other occupations. Our cities,
which are absorbing so largely the
floating population, have a multi
tude of wage earners outside of
the classes selected by the Bureau.
Does anyone honestly believe
that the wages of these men have
gone up seventeen per cent? In
stead Of advancing there is general
belief that wages have diminished
because of great competition, ex-
cept in those cases where peculiar
skill is demanded, and where the
labor unions can dictate terms.
1t is claimed by the union that
they number two millions, but it
must be remembed that out of our
total working population of eighty
millions there must be at least six
ty millions who are unskiled and
who are not recipients of union
wages. The Labor Bureau, in it's
computation of wages, takes into
consideration only the two millions
of protected laborers and disregards
the otherunprotected millions whose
wages show no sign of increase,
and whose rents have already been
increased ten per cent. If there
has been any increase in the wages
of clerks and other attendants, it
is not shown by the meager salaries
paid TO employees. 1t is to be hop.
ed that the government bureau
will report the truth and not cook
their estimates and tables to suit
politial utteranes and partisan
necessities. City Item.

WISE AS WELL AS PROGRESSIVE
The experiment of municip

The experiment of municipal
ownership of street railways by
Monroe, within the short time the
street railroad has been in opera
ton has been so satisfactory to the
people of that city, that they are
now planning for an extension to
various nelghboring towns. Mon
roe has already won enviable dis
tiuction as progressive place be-
cause of its general wideawakeness
and rapid growth, and we believe
that the result Of this experiment
in railway ownership will prove
them wise as well as progressive.
We are inclined the more to this
opinion because they have grasped
the fact that connecting neighbor-
ing towns with trolley service will
center the trade Of this section in
their town. AS Monroe is an agri-
cultural and not a manufacturing
town, the retention of its trade ter
ritory is vital, and its future devel-
opement depends largely upon wild
ening that territory.
The backbone of a town is its re-
tail trade and every curtailment is
a serious blow. Monroe evidently
appreciates this and proposes to
reach out into the country aud cul-
tivate it by making access to the
town easy and delightful. The
trolley extension means much to
Monroe.
Lafayette is most favoraDly sit
uated to become the center of
trolley system and it is possible
for the town and parish to build
their own trolley system. Its
value to the town and parish can
easily be appreciated, and move
along that line now would oppor-
tune.-Lafayette Advertiser.
