speaks favorably of the work being
done in this city by the ladies of the
Federated clubs. 1t follows:
J. Horace Mcfarland, president of
the American Civic association, which
is urging war on the billboard nuis-
ance, has recently visited Grand
Rapids, Wis, and he comments as
follows on what has been accomplished
in the way of the making of a city
beautiful:
1.-THE matter of civic beauty has
1een Systematically gone into and
plans are being carried out for the
making of both sides of the Wiscon-
sin river, which runs through the
center of the town, most inviting and
attractive. First, through the united
efforts of the women. the unsightly
billboards along the river have been
forced out of existence, and the last
best four'!sfgn has just disappeared
after hard fight. Other things
have been done which really stamp
Grand Rapids as foremost in the di-
rection of civic improvement and a
successful war against the hideous
billboards
Mr.. Mcfarland has visited many
cities, and here is what he says he
! found in majority of them:
THE billboards are on every hand
some drive andin every vacant lot,
The owners of the boards claim
that they are hiding worse things by
occupying the fronts of vacant places,
1t is true that when these high boards
go up the splaces behind them offer
special inducements as dumping
grounds, and then the 'billhoards hide
this still more unsightly contribution
to Indifference and lazy scheme for
getting rid of stuff. Chicago is per-
haps the worst and on some of the
finest drives in that city L saw the
great glaring billboards and dead
walls covered with bill and other ad-
vertiSmentS. 1t is awful"
1t is awful. The great majority of
American cities have allowed them
selves to be made hideous by the pres
sure everywhere of billboards, and by
the failure to make river fronts attrac-
tive, and also by the failure to keep
streets, alleys and vacant lots clean.
But if the American people are slew
make proper reformation, when they
do undertake reform they do not rest
until the reformation is accomplished
The billboard and the other things
that offend the eye are doomed. The
tendency in American cities is toward
the beautiful.
incidentally, it is worthy of note
that what has been accomplished in
Grand Rapids, Wis, where river di-
vides the town, might be accomplished
in many another city similarly di-
vided. Every river bank can be made
more of thing of beauty than it now

THE POOR MANS MAN. \ Governor Hughes Tests All Remedial Measures by Effect on Wage-earner.

.Irughes is an individualist. as opposed to paternalst or a socialist, says Er- man J. Ridgway in the March Every bodv's. "He believes in the widest pos sible opportunity for individual initiative and effort But he is also firm believer in the policy of regulation, In order to secure the performance of public opiiga- tions as is illustrated by the Public Ser vice Commissions Law, which he recom- mended. In all large public problems he believes first in finding out as exactly as may be the wrong that makes the prob lem The final and supreme test he ap- plies to every measure advanced Tor fighting wrongs Is. how will it affect the wage-earner2 If 1t promises to reduce wages he will have none of it. For while he believes in giving equal opportunity to high and low, rich and poor his natu- ral sympathies are with the poor. In ms own phrase:
 T am poor mans man. l was born fin plain cottage. My people were oblig- ed to make great sacrifices to give me an education, and have known the hardest kind of hard work all my life. have seen with the greatest satisfaction the wages of the working people in this coun- try increase all along the line and the standard of living improve. There Is Joy and a dignity that goes with the handling and spending of money of which 1t would be a great mistake to deprive the people The largest possible life must be preserved to our American working people at all hazards.

OPENING
TONIGHT
THE SALVATION ARMY STARTS A
READING AND RESTING PLACE
ON WATERFRONT.

The reading and coffee room to be
opened at 8 o'clock tonight, by the
Salvation Army is the result of good
deal of serious thought on the part of
Staff Captain Bradley, chief officer of
the Army work on these islands.
The success of the reading room on
Fort street thrown open for the use
of the boys of the navy during the visit
of the Big Four last summer and the
crowds of soldiers and sailors con-
stantly in Honolulu, with few places
to rest or lounge, N except saloons or
other undesirable resorts, forced the
conviction Of the necessity of such a
place upon him.
The place secured is one of S. NJ
Damon's fine stores, No. S14 Nuuanu
street zee Chan block, and close to
the waterfront. 1t consists of COM
modious, room up stairs as well as a
fine room and kitchen on the ground
floor.
The downstairs room is to be devoted
to rest, reading and coffee room, and
cleaned, painted and neatly furnished
as it is, it looks cool and pleasant and
good enough for any tired man and
perhaps most of all to the sailors who
seldom get ashore.
The upstairs is provided with screen
ed windows and clean white pillowed
and sheeted beds, and a good bath
room with tub and shower has also
been put in.
A. L. c. Atkinson will preside this
evening while other prominent persons
will take part in the service.

LOCAL MOVING
PICTURE SHOW

r. K. B)nine will treat Honolulu to
Al exhibition oil The new Hawaiian
pictures he has been making during
the past two months at Bishop Hall,
Oahu College, Saturday evening, May
80. Mr.. Bonine has been extremely
fortunate in securing fine subjects and
ment. Some of the pictures depicted
will give most interesting and
amusing bits of life among the natives;
others show industrial scenes. Some
of the best pictures were made at Lu-
nalilo Home among the old native men
and women there; these will be both
instructing and laughable. There will
be graphic scenes from Kauai and Ka-
hoo,awe, which places Mr.. BONNIE has
just visited. Boys sliding down a
hillside on punches of ii leaves will
make a rollicking, mirth-producing
picture and bits of child life will appeal
to everyone.
Altogether Mr. BONNIE will give an
exhibition that will prove very inter-
esting >and will probably be superior
in local interest to his former enter
tainments.
Tickets will be Csc and SOC and will
be on sale tomorrow morning at Wall,
Nichols Co.
