Editor Advertiser: Thank you for
coming out so strongly in relation to
any proposal to attract people here
by making this place a resort where
open vice would be permitted. You
have the thanks of every right-mind-
ed citizen for standing out against
this and other proposals of the kind.
Any such idea as that said to be
advocated in relation to getting people
here by permitting gambling, puts
one thing first in human life, and that
is the getting of the dollar. Again
and again, Mr. Editor, you and 1 have
heard in the Western States an OBJ
lection to putting a stop to open vice,
that it would ''hurt the town. The
idea being that gamblers and others
who spend money freely would circu-
late money and increase the popula-
tion. The idea of progress and pros
perity seems to be numbers without

Chinese New Year Born
to Music of Many
FirecrackerS.

Konohi is here, as all who live
within a mile of the center of China
town cane bear witness. The New
Year was ushered into Honolulu in
the style peculiar to those to whom
the celebration is the one holiday time
of the year, with the explosion of
thousands of f1recrackers and the
booming of innumerable bombs. The
number of yards of crackers may have
been less than in former years and
the bombs of smaller size, but the
noise was ear-spfitting just the same,
and the danger of fire none the less
Imminent.
Chinatown was busy from early yes
tertlay morning in preparation for the
big event. Along Hotel street and
Beretania avenue in that quarter hum
dreds of street venders did big busi-
ness with stands of Chinese lilies, and
everywhere the merchants We're dec
Grating their places of business, hang
ing streamers of red cloth from Their
store signs and replacing the faded
flowers and peacock feathers, which
have braved the elements since the
last celebration, with new ones, bright
with gay tinsels and fresh blossoms.
The various clubhouses throughout the
quarter hummed with life as the
members swept and garnished the
buildings for ftodays reception, while
elsewhere along the streets the big
lanterns and the more modern electric
brillianeies We're hung out for the
darkness to transform the thorough
fares into lanes of light
Until the whistles blew for midnight
and the firecrackers and bombs were
touched off for their half hour din,
Chinatown was quiet after nightfall,
quieter even than usual. According
to the excellent principle prevailing.
every family gathered as many of
their members together as possible for
the final meal of the old year, a gath

the twelvemonth were wiped out,
grudges forgotten and quarreis
Strengthened out. Until midnight each
family kept to itself. After midnight
