EDITORIAL COMMENT
ON THE RETIREMENT
Of WALTER c. SMITH
From the Hawaii Herald.

The retirement of Mr.. Walter G.
Smith from the position of editor of
the Advertiser will be a distinct loss
to the reading-loving people of the Ter
ritory. His editorials were always
looked for with interest and read with
appreciation even by those who dis
agreed with his opinions, while The By
stander columns have been a weekly
treat when written by him. There is
not newspaperman in the Territory
who possesses Mr.. Smith s force or IA
cility as a writer, and there are few
writer's in the States who can touch
him for condensed satire. The Herald
regrets exceedingly that the cause of
Mr.. Smith s retirement is i'll health,
and hopes that his rest from work will
restore him to that condition of sound
body which he knows so well how to
enjoy and appreciate.

In Walter G. Smith Hawaii loses its

Have you been to the coon show at
the Orpheum? If not, don't miss it.,
for if the bill given last night is a
fair sample of the performances to be
seen at that popular playhouse the
management is entitled to the packed
houses that nightly greet Hen Wise
and his bunch of colored comedians.
Over two hours and every minute of
it good is what you get for 10, 20 and
80 cents. AS good as can be had
anywhere for the money, and better
than was ever seen before in Homo
lulu at the price. There is one num-
Der on the present bill worth the whole
price of admission. That is the com
edy quartet composed of Poole, Rocks,
Spencer and Smith. They brought
down the house and were recalled time
and again. Wise and Milton were
good in their sketch, so was Fulton
Mitchell. The comedy sketch Mollie
O. was good. The moving pictures
were good. In fact the whole show
was more than good. If you want a
good time for a little money go to the
Orpheum.
