FIFTY YEARS OF BUSINESS.

The man who can obtain u detailed
history of the banking house of Bish-
op q Co. through the fifty years of its
successful progress will have an init
mate knowledge of the development
of the Hawaiian Islands.
Although the missionaries came in
1920 and prepared the way for the
moral enlightenment of the people of
the Islands, the material growth of
this city and the Islands generally
may properly be said to date from the
Inauguration of the first permanent
banking institution.
Whether the credit is to be given
the missionaries for eXerting a beneii-
cent influence on the business men of
the Islands. or to the business men
and iinanciers for their natural.bOrn
common sense and integrity, is mat
ter that need not be discussed. The
fact of history is that the business,
commercial and industrial standards
=. of these Islands have been on high
average plane. Our wildcat schemes
have been reduced to a minimum, and
speedily squclChed. The development
has been in keeping with the general
world progress about us, and in many
instances have anticipated the eXpec-
tations of the people in the world
centers, whose leaders were no doubt
too busy to appreciate what was go

consistently through fifty years. This
is the record of the house of Bishop &

bank for their commanding influence
through the eras of adversely and

There is still no rain in the Kula
district Of Maui. Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue Ralph tombstone,
who returned from an inspection of

of the district that is suffering, Kula
is still in distress.

help possible and to figure out solu-
ton of the problem, If such thing is

Campbell ADVISES
YOUNG engineers
Tells Youths To Be
Accurate Above All
In Work

Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell turned lecturer,
teacher, and confidential advisor all
at once this morning when he started
four boys and their teacher off on u
survey. The boys are prospective stu
dents in the new College of Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts, and they are
going to spend their summer vacation
in making a contour survey of the
site for the buildings in Manoa.
Remember, above all things, be
accurate" said Mr.. Campbell to the
boys this morning, whose names, by
the way, are G. q. Amona, T. A. Coop
err, Il. X. Richardson, and S. l.. White.
Mr.. Reicks, an engineer in the Pub
lie Works Department is their in
structor.
Mr.. Campbell told them an incident
that happened to him as an illustra-
ton of the value of accuracy; how 1t
saved great labor and vast sums of
money in thousands of instances. He
also gave them pointers on the best
manner of setting up their tripod
and adjusting their instrument
The boys listened earnestly to the
good advice given them by the expert
engineer, and they doubtless will re-
member for many a day that excel
lent admonition, Boys, be accurat ,

TERRIBLE RECORD OF CANCER.

The worldwide increase of cancer
and the inability of the medical pro-
fession to determine its cause or to
materially check its growth, are not
matters of common knowledge.
Perhaps three-fourths of the people
of this country assume that this dis
ease is unusual, and would probably
be astonished to learn that twice as
many people die from cancer as from
typhoid fever. The fact that locall-
ties are subject to epidemics from
this form of enteric fever, and the
wide advertising that follows, makes
1t well-known disease; while, on
the other hand, cancer does its deadly
work so quietly that it escapes gener-
al observation.
The growth Of cancer all over the
globe is puzzling to the medical pro-
fession. From Australasia to Nor
way, from the United States across to
the southeast Of Europe, wherever the
records have been kept, this flesh
consuming disease is making head
way. Climate, color, and habits seem
to have nothing to do with increasing
or stopping it. Why the growth OF
the disease among people who have
learned the unquestioned benefits OF
hygiene is something yet to be ascer'

FAIR PLAY FOR ALL
ASKS This REPUBLICAN

Editor Evening Bun etin:--
The same old tune Is again being
played for all IL Is worth as election
time draws near, "The Kanakas are
going to draw the color line" just be
cause few soreheads amongst MS
have been advocating this step, there
fore the whole race must be tarred
with the same brush and threatened
to be DISTINGUISHED by Congress.
The Kanakas who joined the Repub.
,ican and Democratic parties can point
with pride to their record In the past
that they have been party workers
and voted the straight ticket. Can
the haoles say the same? | believe
not.
Take the Republican ticket and
compare the votes received by haole
and a kanaka. It will prove that the
kanaka Republican voters stood by
the party ticket.
We do not believe in drawing the
color line, but let me tell you that we
are apt pupils and follow the haoles
teachings because 1t is said that they
are survival of the fttest," and then
why blame us If we follow their eX
ample.
Let us have fair play-fair to the
haole, and fair to the kanaka.

MoRoCcANs USE LOVE CHARMS.
Queer Means Employed by Women to
Gain Affection.

Mrs. Mansel-Pleydell writes of the
curious charms used by the women of
Morocco: Moorish women resort
much to charms to gain lovers or to
keep their affections when gained.
There Is one charm which is seldom
known to fail. 1t consists of shred
ding small piece of an undergarment
which the man has worn and, after
certain lamentations have been said
over 1t, of rolling the particles into
the shape OF small ball. This Is EN-.
bedded In larger ball Of clay and, aft.
er being slightly dampened, 1t is kept
In pot over the embers of live char.
coal. have been assured that as
soon as the heat penetrates the clay
the man, whoever he may be, will lay
aside whatever work he Is doing at
the time and fly to the arms OF the
woman who invokes the charms. As
long as the ball Is kept warm SO long
Will the heat Of love burn in the
heart OF the lover for that woman.
Another spell much resorted to is cast
by cutting off the tips of a donkey's
ears, cooking them and mixing them
In the mans food. He then becomes
as foolish as n donkey with love for
the charmer who has provided his
unsavory repast."

JOKE ON PROFESSOR
UNWITTING VICTIM OF HIS OWN
ADVICE.
Pupil Faithfully Followed instructions
and the Result Was Broken Rest
for tho Unfortunate Music
Teacher.

The late Prof. julius .Eichberg,
whose violin school was at one time
one Of the most flourishing institu-
lions Of Boston, enjoyed telling the
following joke which was innocently
played on him by pupil:
Just before the vacation season he
| once inquired Of a boy how much he
intended to practice on his violin dur.
ing the summer.
"Oh, not very much" replied the
youngster.
Not very much! How is that"
because l want to play and enjoy

where we go summers
That's very WELL" answered Eich.
berg, but can you not devote one
hour day to your violin?'
NO, sir" was the prompt reply.
Half an hour?"
NO, not even that. l have no time"
1t is too bad, for you will forget
everything you have learned"
Eichberg stopped minute to think
and then said:
What time do you rise mornings
Very early, sir-between five and
six"
We'll, that's the best time. Put in
half an hours practice every morning
before you go down to breakfast"
The boy promised faithfully to dc
SO, and teacher and pupil parted on
the best of terms.
few weeks later, Eichberg was
peacefully slumbering in one of the
cool rooms Of fashionable summer
hotel, which he and his family reached
the night before, when he was most
inopportunely awakened by the furi
Gus screening of violin just over
his head.
Il wonder who the plaguey catgut.
scraper is at this hour" grumbled he.
as he looked at his watch, and was
Mortified to see that it was not yet six
o'clock.
Sleeping late, as was his continental
habit, was altogether out Of the ques.
ton for Eichberg that morning. for
the outlandish screeching was faith
fully kept up just half an hour, and
then suddenly ceased.
BY that time, however, he had
dressed himself, and having come
downstairs, was about to enter the
dining room for breakfast together
with the usual early risers, when he
was joyously greeted by a boy with
familiar face, who said proudly:
Il follow your advice, professor, and
have not missed one morning. Have
Just put in half an hours practice"
Il know it," grimly answered Eich.
berg
Immediately after breakfast he
walked to the desk and asked for an.
other room.
