At all events, the figures don't lie,
and San Francisco has certainly put
itself in the list of those cities that
have made good" in the face of
friEhtful obstacles.
OF course all that applies to the
State of California does not apply to
the city of San Francisco, which has
had great troubles of its own. New
ertheless the prosperity of the State
is guarantee of the stability of the
chief city. And this theory holds as
good in the Hawaiian Islands or any
other part of the country. A knock
ing campaign fed by pessimistic driv-
ell can hold in check the mOst-favored
community in the world. Optimism
and the spirit of do-or-die will win
against terrific odds.
According to the latest bulletin is
sued by the California Promotion
Committee the year just closed has
been n most prosperous one through
cut the entire State. The farmers
ana fruit-growers have Jared WELL
despite the occurrence of many Sc
we're floods and the partial failure of
the prune, peach and apricot crops.
The general average was left behind
by the increased prices for all other
products.
Building operations throughout
the State have never been so heavy
as during this year, says the bulle-
tin, San Francisco net being al2"2
in the increased number CT 7tru-tu"11
above the usual yearly AVERAGE which
have been or are being built. The
marked increase in the influx of set
tiers accounts for this abnormal ac-
tivity in the building trades.

"SAN FRANCISCO SPIRIT" AND
THE KN0CKER CAMPAIGN

People who return from San Fran
cisco and the State of California may
say all they please of the plague in
Frisco" the worry of the banks and
the leading business interests that
are thinking hard on what and with
whom they may I'll their new blocks.
They may croak as they will, but
the citizens OF the district of Homo
lulu and the Territory of Hawaii
would profit mentally and morally
and financially If they would take an
example from the spirit of San
Francisco" which refuses to look up
on or to know the dark side. H.
1t is not to be doubted that San
Francisco is having a hard struggle
and is putting up brave fight. But
such phrase Ss give up" is not TO
he found in its language for business
men. There is an eternal campaign
of ''boost"-and II Is paying. This is
not campaign of Misrepresentation
but rather working out of the doc
trine of determination to win.
For this reason, the reading of the
literature sent out by the promotion
committee with headquarters in San
Francisco is pleasure and an edu-
cation. There will be plenty OF
croakers perhaps to say that the pro-
motion literature overstates the sit
uation. Perhaps so, but we doubt it,
