Development of Auto
Industry.

In an interview with Claude F. Miller,
Of the firm of Charles Z. Miller & Bro,
who represent the Ford line OF auto
mobiles in this city, he states 1t Is
interesting and instructive TO follow
the. line of marked development In the
automobile industry. This house began
business seventeen years ago, selling
bicycles. From its inception, their BIZ
cycle business grew each year. reaching
its maximum in 1906 and 1907. when
bicycles were the fad and the health
ful exercise was enjoyed by both men
and women. 1t is unfortunate, Mr..
Miller states, from a physical point OF
view alone, that the bicycle has fallen
In the estimation Of so many health
seekers, for many robust man today
can attribute much of his health to the
physical development attained by riding
a bicycle.

automobile. this house at once negOti-
ated for the sale of steam cars, selling
the Mobile, made at Tarrytown I'm the
same factory building where the Max

purchasers was DR.. Wiley. of pure food
law fame" who used his small steamer
for pleasure until very recently. The
the time the steam automobile was
having its day, and the first gas engine
car received by this firm was not a
success They were convinced. how
ever, that the car Of the future was un-

In regard to a possible reduction II
the price Of the automobile, Mr.. Mile
states that this may result some daI

doubtedly meet approval in nine hun

Mr.. Thwing is undoubtedly labor
ing under the opinion that he is do

fact he is stirring up an evil smell,
that neither improves the community
disposition nor promotes right living.
Thwing and those associated with
him feel that they are being martyr
lied when they are criticised by clti-
zens who would compromise with
evil" II he thinks SO, the only thing
to do is to let him think. A fanatic
on any topic is impossible from q
Common-sense standpoint. Criticism
appeals to his vanity and he looks in
the glass and allows his mind to dwell
on great men who suffered for right
eousness' sake.
But Mr.. Thwing is doing the city
of Honolulu and it's honest manhood

The practical effect of Mr..
Thwlngs campaign is TO turn the
mind of the mainlanders to the worst
