of late California has been in frequent
occasional touch with Hawaii by the
wireless telegraphy.
The Pacific has thus been bridged.
The isolation which the Americans in
the islands have sometimes felt, AMI the
nightmare of investment by a hostile
fleet, with cables cut, have been Danish
ed. Regular wireless communication be
tween the territory and the mainland is
now an assured reality. No enemy can
prevent the passage or free intercourse
between citizens of this far-outlying
post of America and the main body of
their fellow countrymen, upon whom
they would have to rely for defense in
time of emergency.
The invisible currents of air ara thus
an important factor in binding the seat
tered sections of a nation together. As
Hawaii is now in wireless communica-
ton with San Francisco. so we may,
before long. expect the Philippines to
be in touch with Hawai-. Thus the
bonds of world neighborliness tend TO
grow stronger and mankind becomes
more compact as distances are short
aned.

WHAT ABOUT THE
BAR ASSOCIATION f.?

Editor Advertiser: As a constant
reader of your valued paper, may L
inquire, what has become of the Ha-
waiian Bar Association? This is a
question which 1 now hear frequently
asked every day, and many say that it
is simply a Good Liver s club, preserv-
ing its organization for the purpose Of
having an annual feed Nobody ex-
poets lawyers to be as blameless as were
those twelve fishermen of Galilee, who
followed the Prince of Peace under the
palm trees of Palestine, but with the
candidate for County Attorney of Maui
county under Indictment for perjury;
with a Circuit Judge of an outlying
circuit, charged with borrowing trust
funds, which were being administered
in his court, upon his personal and I'M
secured note; with an attorney in HO-
nOlulu under Indictment for assault up
on a woman; with a prominent member
of the Honolulu bar, charged daily by
the press, with being not only dead
beat, but an unconvicted felon, as well,
the situation naturally gives rise to the
question, whether the Bar Association
owes any duty to the community, and
so, whether that duty is being per,
formed?
1t may be that lawyers think they
should not move against brother law, |
yer until he is safely on the ''reef, -
where he can t strike back If that |
5 so, the public ought to know it, so
hat they may know just how much
took should be taken in Bar Associa,
ion endorsements of candidates for
judicial positions.
Very respectfully,
A CONTANT READER.

READY FOR THE
ELECTION DAY
How the Election Material Has
Been Sent to the
Precincts.

All election material for the other
Islands has been sent out. There re-
mains to be sent only the election ma
terial for the precincts on this Island.
1t will be sent out on Thursday.
On Friday at 4 O'Clock Secretary
Mott-Smith viii have a heart to heart
talk with all the inspectors of elections
on this Island. Notices are being sent
to them now. All matters about which
there is any doubt viii be discussed
and made clear.
The work of preparing for the cleo
tiOn and getting out the election ma
terial is one of infinite detail, and has
been carried out without hitch by
Chief Clerk Lloyd Conkling and the
regular force of the office, in addition
to keeping up the regular work. This
force besides the chief clerk, is COM
posed of Henry Sullivan, Robert Lo-
no, Fred Cockett and Miss Helen R.
Girvin.
First there was an immense amount
of correspondence required in connec-
ton with the appointment of the in.
spectors of election and getting from
them acceptances of appointment. Then
the division of the Territory into Sena
torial and Representative districts, and
into counties and districts for the cleo
ton of Deputy Sheriffs makes the mat
ter of getting out the ballots and get
ting them to the right places matter
requiring very great care.
The lists of election officers and the
precincts of the Territory were arrang
ed in such a way that there would be
no omissions or Implications, and an
check was kept on everything
and a complete record of when and how
it was sent and to whom.
The work has been done in most
effective way.

politan, and in its halls will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. It has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament San Franeiscans
are very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
gulshed company than any other room
of its kind west Of Chicago On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, a hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of a hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers of
quaint design, made of wrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, broau,
tagged promenade, which overloOks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene,
one largely of Paris or the
in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama of mountain and sea.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of its different dining places.
In. them one may find place to dine
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers a convenient grill for
ladies and gentlemen. Further on is
the main dining salon, with accommoda-
tons for three hundred people. This
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-10-28

absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The
t'a1rmont Hotel today has capacity for
taking care of one thousand guests.
Its ente- tainment features are so nu-
merous and SO varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under its roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
The view from the. Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
rienced globe trotter stand in wonder
and amaZement. From its windows flor
every room In this magnificent hoste1ry
is an outside room) can be seen the
superb panorama of the Golden Gate,
the Bay of San Francisco, crowded with
ships from all parts of the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
County on the other side Of the bay,
with Mt. Diablo 80 miles to the south
east, and Mt. st. Helena over hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline. In the immediate foreground
of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in
a new and better way, is but a few
minutes walk from the door Of the
hotel. By means of the various street
car lines which pass it's doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
stations, the banks and exchanges, re-
tail business and theater centers, as
well as the residence portions of the
city can be easily reached.
The Fairmont Hotel differs from al
most any similar institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
for the entertainment of its guests.
Because of these, it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. just as the old Palace
Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on
new and greater scale at the old site
on Market street, was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
guests of all nations, so the
Fairmont, under the same management
which so adequately took care of the
affairs of the Palace. is most cosmo-
