The county board of commission

any Importance was transacted. The
approving Of claims and making esti-
mates of expenses for the coming

The trains were badly delayed here
Monday morning by a freight wreck
at the depot. Two box cars jumped
the track and blocked the line for
several hours. The cars were on the
Iside track, but in leaving the track
one of them got on the main line.
Not much damage was done.
A subscriber and good friend of
ours, in paying in advance for his
paper for another year, said: Il get
more for the dollar I pay for The
Herald than from any other paper,
and take a number; in fact | gen.
orally go home with right good
arm full when l go to the postoffice. :"
The meeting of Confederate veter-
ans called for last Monday was not
held, as a sufficient number was not
present. Another meeting is called
FOR the first Monday in February,
and it is hoped the old soldiers will
take enough interest to be present.
Important matters are to be attend
ed to.
Richard Mack. negro man who
lives on Mr.. Henry F. Bamberg' s
plantation a few miles below town,
killed an alligator on the Both day
Of December. The reptile was nine
feet long, and was crawling across
the road near Mack's house. Those
who ought to know say it is very re.
markable to find an alligator out OF
the water after frost.

RHEU UMATlC FOLKS!
Are You Sure Your Kid.
r1eyS are Well?


Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty of
the kidneys is to remove all uric acid
from the blood. Its presence there
shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't
daily with tturic acid solvents. You
might go on till doomsday with them,
but until you cure the kidneys you will
never get well. Doan's Kidney Pills not
only remove uric acid, but cure the kid
neys and then all danger from uric acid
is ended.

Harry HERS, Annie Rentz, Lionel
Clayton, Ryan Clayton, Laurie Kim
ard, Jonelle Hoffman, Leroy Wester-
lund, and Harry Copeland are on the
honor-roll for this week. Watch this
space next week, and see if any OF
the names are familiar.
The department Of the pupils is to
be commended, and the work done
in general is satisfactory, but II you
will examine the above list from
week to week you will find a few
pupils who make about one-half what
they should make. This is due to a
lack of diligence.
The attendance this week has been
fairly good, considering the fact that
school opened this year sooner than
usual.

What 1t Cost a San Francisco Paper to
Fight Graft and Grafters---SmaII En-
couragement to Battle for Reform
(San Francisco Bulletin.)

in the finer sense, and it would rather
be decent journal, respected and fol-
lowed by public opinion, than to make
larger profits by being strumpet for
special interests.
Happily, The Bulletin has made
money and gone ahead, in spite of it's
vigorous battle against the boodlers,
and this paper does not begrudge a
dollar of the money it has lost through
refusing to sit down with trimmers
and compromise with iniquity. But,
for the edifcatiOn of the public, The
Bulletin proposes to recite, briefly, the
very instructive record of its expert
ence of the relation between aggres-
sive decency and business expediency
in a newspaper office. The recited is
more or less intimate, and discloses
matters with which, ordinarily, the
public would have no concern, but it
viii help thoughtful Americans to an
understanding of the reasons why
municipal government in this country
is SO corrupt and why the task of MAX
ing it PERMANENTLY clean is so
difficult.
From the beginning of the Schmitz
administration in 1902 there was graft,
but during the first term it was petty
graft, extorted chiefly from the shady
interests which paid for police protec
ton. In those days Ruef did not con-
troll majority in the Board of Super
visors, and the several commissions
were in the hands of incumbents who
had held over from Mayor Phelan 8
time. The Bulletin in the years 1902
and 1908 attacked Schmitz for his
subsection to Ruef and for the gem
orally low character of his appoint
ments, and exposed such graft as it.
could discover, but the fight at that
time was not nearly so intense as it
afterward became. In November of
1903 the people elected Schmitz for the
second term by an increased majority,
and in spite of The Bulletin s opposi
ton.
At that time, and, indeed, until long
after the fire, The Bulletin was almost
the only voice in the community raised
against the Schmitz administration.
For four years people talked about
I" The Bulletin fight" against
and Ruef, and were deaf or
incredulous when this paper replied
that it was not The Bulletin Is fight, |
but the peope's fight. The public |
persisted in standing off and viewing
the battle as if it were merely lively |
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-12-06

and interesting contest in which the
public had only a casual spectator s
concern.
With the beginning of the second
term of Schmitz in 1904, Ruef came
into control of majority on all the
commissions, and especially the Police
Commission; but there was still a bare
majority of decent men, the dwindling
old guard of Democrats, and they
were able to hold the gang measur-
ably in check Scandal followed
scandal, however, and The Bulletin
published, day after day, the evidence
of dishonesty. The liquor license
graft the French restaurant graft, the
street repair graft, the Chinatown
graft, the cheap theater graft, and a
dozen other CRAFTS were made public.
Meanwhile, however, the administra-
tion had not been passive. The Bulle-
tin was harassed in hundred ways.
The gangsters went about denouncing
it. Pressure was brought on saloons
to stop their subscriptions. Persons
were melted to bring civil and Grim
inal actions for libel, and R. A. Croth-
ers, the proprietor, and Fremont Older,
the managing editor, were sued or
arrested seventeen or eighteen times.
These forms of annoyance forced
The Bulletin to considerable expense,
but did not alter the papers course
or abate the vigor of its fight against
graft The gang then resolved upon a
desperate measure. One Saturday
night in September, 1904, while R. A.
Crothers, proprietor of The Bulletin
was crossing an alley that separated
the business office from the pressroom
of the paper, man jumped out of a
dark doorway and struck him on the
head with some sort of a bludgeon.
Mr.. Cothers feel, bleeding and inseni-
BILE, and the assailant, deeming him
dead, ran away.
Although the police were called at
once, they made no real effort to dis
cover who committed the assault, and
Ruef openly joked about the crime.
The police at that time were so hostile
to The Bulletin that they canvassed
against it on their beats and obtained
for a competing paper
which was defending the administra-
ton.
Feeling ran very high in San Fran
cisco after the attempt to murder Mr..
Crothers and during the first part of
1905. Many threats were uttered

SOME BEAUTIFUL
STORE DECORATIONS

l.. Marsh Hale, an artist and decora-
tor of rare ability and long experience,
has just finished frescoing the ceiling
of the NJ. A. Gunst store at the corner
of Fort and King streets.
Mr.. Hale selected for his design q
garland of the passion vine with yell
low chrysanthemums in groups at in
tervals. The walls of the store have
been covered with deep olive green
material resembling felt, very rich in
appearance and giving an artistic finish
to the work. At the top of this cover
ing is a moulding of hard wood and
above that decoration in palms and
coeoanut trees, The body of the cell
ing is blended from an orange to a
light shade of yellow, the combination
with the deeper shade of olive on the
walls being very striking. Unquestion-
ably this is the most attractive store
in Honolulu from any viewpoint. The
elegance of the fixtures has always been
remarked by visitors from the states
and the Improvements just finished will
be a greater cause for wonder. The
location is such that every stranger
and visitor to Honolulu who smokes
goes there. First, because the place
is inviting and secondly because tha
name of "Gunst'' carries with it a
guarantee of good quality.
The stock of cigars, pipes and tobac-
co suitable for Christmas gifts was
never better in the Gunst stores than
now. There are some packages put up
for Christmas and ladies may
buy in the store as well as men. If
they object to visiting it personally
the telephone brings it close to them
and their orders viii be carefully filed.

There are good many persons who
believe that it pays for newspaper
TO fight graft; and that The Bulletin
has made large profits out of its long
fight against dishonest government in
San Francisco
Fortunately for The Bulletin, this
paper is so securely established, and
for one reason or another pleases so
many people, that it has held and in
creased its circulation and its business
through the bitter five or six years
since it opened the warfare against the
: grafters; but if a balance were struck
of The Bulletins pecuniary gains and
losses on account of the fight against
graft 1t would show that this paper
has lost, in outlay increased and profits
diminished, a total of not less than
S250,000. That estimate, moreover, is
very conservative, 1t represents The
Bulletin S money contribution to the
fight for honest government.
1t is a fact that if The Bulletin were
conducted, as most newspapers in this
country, to the shame of journalism,
are conducted, purely as commercial
enterprise, it never would initiated the
exposure and prosecution of the hood
lers who were milking the city; it
never would have induced Heney to
come to San Francisco. 1t is a fact,
also, that if the Prosecution had hap
pened to start without the original i'm
petus which it received from The
Bulletin, this paper-had it been con-
Quoted solely with an eye to making
money-would have played the game,
as the Chronicle and the Examiner
have played it, by giving the Prosecu-
ton a formal and perfunetory support
and damning it always with a poison
ed "but.' 1t would have been, like
the Chronicle and the Examiner, for
the Prosecution, but against the pros
ecutors; against Doodle in theory, but
for the boodlers in fact
The Bulletin, however, has ideals
and makes an effort to live up to
them. 1t has not the advantage of
having behind it great private for
tune, like that of Hearst or De Young,
but it strives to be something more
than machine for making money by
marking white paper with printer IS
ink and selling the product at a profit.
The Bulletin aims to be a newspaper
