Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: 1t is gratifying to note
by the extract from a private letter,
published in this mornings paper, that
the work of the Promotion Committee
in Los Angeles is attracting so much
attention. The moving pictures, which
we were instrumental in getting the
Edison people to take, are proving of
the greatest assistance possible in call
ing attention to the attractions offered
by Hawaii, not only In Los Angeles
but elsewhere.
We are in receipt of letters from
different American Consulates aeknowl-

We're 200, 800, 500 and 500 yards, and
all officers not at drill were required

Both officers and men were very
anxious to improve themselves and
were eager for any work or drill.
This, with the excellent feeling ex-

made the detail a very enjoyable one

An OPINION AGAINST
AWNING ORDINANCE

Editor Advertiser: Claiming the
privilege of citizen and taxpayer of
this community, L can not refrain from
expressing my views regarding the con-
troversy over the awning cutters now
prominently before the public. 1t seems
to me that the supervisors would serve
the city more satisfactorily by en-
forcing some of the old laws instead of
making laws that are at the present
time hardship and piling up an I'M
necessary expense on taxpayers to the
sum of about $4,000. Who will get
the benefit of this outlay2 Certainly
not the white mechanics, they have left
the country.
Our Supervisors seem anxious to
earn a record, and they are getting one.
A short time ago, they doubled the
price of garbage delivery, but after
taking observations they decided to do
it gradually. They quickly found out
the people would not stand for it. We
are willing TO pay our taxes and other
needed expenses, until the business
situation improves, but we decidedly
object to the Supervisors going out of
their way to hunt up doubtful laws,
which benefit nobody.
The McCandless Bros. and the gem
tlemen signers to the petition present
ed to the Supervisors are some of the
best representative business men of this
city, of whom we are proud. They
were turned down and informed that
the measure would become a law at
the next meeting. / hope the Super
visors will change their minds. A nice
inducement for any new blocks going
up in this city. They might pass
law compelling the owners to provide
roof gardens. What next2

Among the letters read at the meet

H. P. Wood, Secretary, Honolulu, Ha-
wall.
Ny Dear Sir: The charm of our ten
days in Hawaii is still fresh in my
memory, and is likely to remain for a
long time. I have visited Yosemite
since then, but the Islands made a
better impression on me on account of
the many novel beauties of sky, clouds,
water, mountains, scenery, and above
We were welcomed like
friends coming home. That feature
completely took my heart.

had ever heard of 1T Even our H.
James Co. who own two of the largest
and finest stores in the United States
knew nothing of it, but agreed to look
into the matter at once. One of thef|
best grocery salesman told me that
this city could easily take one thou7
sand cases of dozen glass bottles per

you could get the information beforel
some of your people. The conditions
for growing pines on your island look
ed good to me. The soil certainly is
fine, easily worked, and promises great
The ripe fruit used in canning

if your labor market is such that the
fruit can be handled there is an un-.

DIsposINe OF ESTATES.

''The problem of trusteeing an estate
so that it will be properly managed for
my wife and children and still be
available for the children when they
are entitled to free possession of it is
a very difficult one to solve,' said a
careful business man of large property
who happened to be the father of sew
eral sons and daughters all nearly
grown. For instance, I don't know
whether my sons are going to be sue
cessful in the management of pro-
perty or not. They are not out Of coll

AUSTRALIANS YELLOW PERIL.

Australia Is haunted by the fear of a
yellow peril and has made exclusion
laws so severe that all Immigration eX-
cept the white races is practically ex-
Guided. 1t is said that the latter laws
will result In expulsion of thousands
Of Mongolian laborers imported years
age and many of whom have lived in
The country more than a decade.
1t Is authoritatiyely stated tina. the
reason for the stringency of the tnimi-
grafton laws is not due to the
labor element or to inability OF the
white working classes to compete In
the labor market with the Monaghan.
1t is the apprehension for the future
which has led the Australians to raise
on impossible barrier, primarily
against the Japanese, secondarily
against the Chinese. and finally against
the Hirtdoos and the Malays The fear
is that sooner or later the japanese,
either alone or in conjunction with the
Chinese, will attempt to secure posses
sion OF England's dependencies under
the southern cross. The yellow peril
is regarded by Australians as an ever
spreading and growing shadow over
the future Of their country.
Whatever may be the true reason
for the extreme exclusion laws passed
by the fifth continent, one thing seems
certain The whole world believes the
Japs heed watching.

More Draft Horses Needed.

(DFOVoFS
Farmers are giving the horse indus
try more attention now than ever be-
fore. From the many letters written
to the Drovers Journal daily from
states as far east as Ohio, as far west
as Nebraska, as far north as North
Dakota and as far south as Texas, 1t
is CLEANED that the high prices have
stimulated farmers to breeding more
horses.
1t would be well, however. for every
farmer to consider the best class of
horses to produce This brings him to
the market grades. The demand us best
at this time, and will continue to be,
for drafters In fact, the call for such
Is far in excess of the supply at an
unusually high price range.
This naturally brings the pure-bred
draft mare into most favor. Draft
surplus should meet broad outlet at
remunerative prices to the breeders for
some years to come. But such should
be the pure-bred stock.
l. will pay farmers to keep pure
bred draft mares. In most of the old
countries big portion of the draft
horses are produced by the small far
mer, and those who are acquainted
with the horse breeding business there
say the farmers find 1t an important
asset in their farming. The pure-bred
draft brood mares not only do most OF
the farm work, but rear colt each
year. which in turn is sold at a price
that goes long way in paying farm
expenses.
Farmers in this country are produc-
ing cattle. hogs and sheep which com
pare favorably with the best in the
world. And there is no reason why
this should not hold true of the horse

Mental Photography.


A member of the Photographic So
clety has been trying the new mental
photography which has been making
some stir in Berlin. This local expert
menter took a blank photogra phic plate
into dark room, bound II to his fore
head. and for thirty minutes concern
trated his thoughts on the face OF
close friend OF his.
The developed plate. which he says
is the identical one that he bound to
his forehead. shows, family, traces of
u face that has many points Of resem-
blance to that OF his friend. Such
at least is the opinion OF Some who
have seen the plate, tho others declare
that its markings are indeterminate and
look like nothing In particular. The
point raised by the experiment 10

CLEAN OUTlTHE L0AFERS.

An Iowa cartoonist of exceptional
ability and popularity, struck keynote
a few days ago when he depicted q
beautiful and modest girl running the
gauntlet of leering, tobacco chewing
street corner gang. 1t touched sub
1ect with which all are familiar from
personal observation and contact The
sidewalk fairly fioated. The same de-
based faces leered at the shrinking
girl with the same old insulting ex-
preston. Thru the swamp OF tobacco
Juice and past the battery of dog like
faces and eyes. the girl picked her
way as all of us have seen girls do.
If there be a town without its aft
fiction OF lazy, worthless and degen-
crate loafers. who make some particu-
lar corner OF OF some street no
thoroughfare for decent women, except
on desperate occasions, it's name should
be written in gold on the outer walls of
publicity. One of the ineXplicabie
things is that decent men will permit
loafers TO group together day after day
and stare their wives and daughters out
of countenance. Every glance from that
filthy gang is a direct insult. Every
face wears an expression that fur
pishes the best provocation for beating
1t into shapelessness Still they gather
and leer and spit and utter profanity
and obscenity as women pass blushing
ana ashamed This is mostly in the
smaller towns and the Stun streets of
the cities
Outside the gang of loafers is an
other insult TO women and disgrace to
men that should be put out of BUSH
ness. EitherA,the law or some husky
individual should take in hand the man
who wanders. about the streets to
meet each attractive woman he sees
with 1, direct, questioning stare thatin
itself is a deadly insult. There are
too many Of these creatures making
women walk the streets with downcast
eyes. They do not belong on the streets
but in Jail or the hospital.
RECOLLECTION brings up a scene on the
street of an Illinois town years ago. A
dealer was notorious for his habit OF
standing before his place Of business
and meeting every woman who passed
with a significant and Insulting stare.
One day a middle aged farmer stepped
quietly up to him, and Knocked him
down with his fists. When the crowd
clamored for an. explanation, he said,
my daughter is likely to walk past
here any time Every one understood.
The fellow who had been knocked down
understood. His place was vacant the
Saturday and successive Sat
urdays when that farmer was likely to
be in town.
Clean out the gangs of degenerates
on the corners. The stone pile needs

by law or personal violence The UNI
written law is always strong enough to
excuse the man who mashes a masher.
