SECRETARY WOOD OF THE PRO-
MOTION COMMITTEE HAS A NEW
PLAN TO GET ADVERTISING.

At the regular weekly meeting of the
Promotion Committee yesterday Sec
retary Wood divulged a new scheme
for getting Hawaii advertised. He will
try and have every passenger agent in
the United states and Canada boost
Hawaii as a tourist resort and there
are thousands of agents.
The plan includes a prize essay con-
test on why should Hawaii expect to
be one of the greatest tourist resorts?"
$500 in priz, s will be given and every
passenger agent can compete.
The question of souvenir postal cards
was discussed. 1t was stated that the
cards on the market here are not as
finely finished as those at other places.
Secretary Wood said that the plates
of the fish at the aquarium can be used
on cards 10 advantage.
The Committee has decided to keep
track of the tourists stopping at the
hotels and note the length of their
stay.
A letter from Frank Seaman, a big
New York advertising man, was read.
He said that the recent delegation to
Washington did not seem to want to

wondered why.
Other desultory matters were dis
cussed after which the meeting ad

through the states. If they are met
with blacksnakes and hobnailed boots
instead of silly and nauseating address,
es of welcome, and kicked for half an
hour after they reach their quarters, it
will remind them of home and per-
chance make decent workers out of
them.
Il consider this Molokan business not
only an affront to Anne riCan citizens,
but an outrage on the whole commun-
ity, and the sooner they pull up stakes
and go back to California the better.
Il predict that we shall feel the eff
fects of their coming at the next cleo
tion, for the Hawaiians are sore over
the partiality shown, and if they don't
make things warm for US i'm November
l miss my guess. Some thirty of them
formed a hui and applied for taro lands
mauka of Kapaa cane neld, patches
that they had cultivated for years, and
did not even receive the courtesy of an
acknowledgment to their petition.
When my friend Morgan of Kapaa,
timidly applied for a little sandy house
lot, two or three hundred yards from
the beach, he was curtly refused and
told if he wanted land to form a colony
and go to Gehenna-I mean Olohena."
Now Olohena is miles from anywhere,
and without any water at all, An
there year-re, Hinnessey.
What is the beach reserved for? Why
is it not thrown open to settlers, and a
free wharf given to the public? Are
they to pay tribute forever to private
ownership?
What the planters ought to do is to
introduce laborers who have been
weighed in the balance and not found
wanting q mean Portuguese), and
employ American mechanics instead Of
Asiatics.
J We'll, I've said my little piece, so
guess I'll be going"

him. He went out, and at the little
turnstile stopped, lit a Principe, and

I Our friend, the old Codger, has given
his experiences an airing and feels de-
cidedly better.
/ He is perfectly right in his statement
Of facts, but the cold weather must
have affected his corns, and therefore
made his conclusions a little more SOM
Der than could reasonable be expected.
We are apt to be a little sanguine
here in Hawaii, and for good reasons,
and the glowing descriptions of a flu
ture free from cares and sorrows, that
filled the paper when the new class Of
/ immigrants was announced, is now
having its reaction in the pessimistic
view of the results.
Give the new venture a chance and
it may not be such a curse after all.
That the administration saw no other
way of accomplishing it's policy than
tramping on the reasonable expecta-
tiOns of citizens and longtime resi-
dents will be charged up against it on
liquidation day.
