RUMOR is WELL FOUNDED
Taking OF of WOrkmen's Train to
SilyiS July I Expected.

While the office of Division Superin-
tendent Smalley of the Rock Island
road disclaims knowledge of any i'm
pending change there is good reason
to believe that the workmen's train
from the three cities TO the shops at
Silvis will be taken off at the first of
the coming month. thereby forcing
those living in the three cities and
working at Silvis to either use the
street cars, change their place of
abode or give up their jobs.

Letters From the People

auto and hack rates in this morning :
issue; wherein you stated that the auto
rates are being raised, over former
rates, with no evident reason. Mr.. Ed
tor, beg to submit figures, as per ac-
companying card, one of Mr.. Quinn s,
printed two years ago, which had been
the standard rate charged by autos to
the present day.
You will see that the rates, instead
of being raised. have been materially
reduced to the benefit of the riding
public; for instance. the PunchbOwl
drive at $500 for two passengers and
$1.00 for each additional is being re-
duced TO $500 for four and $3.50 for
each additional; Pail drive from 800
for two passengers and $3.50 for addi-
tional TO 500 for four passengers and
800 for each additional. For the Mo
analua polo ground it takes machine
all of three-quarters of an hour to make
the round trip, with comfortable driv-
ing Pearl City reduced from $500 to
$3.50. Heeia from $4,000 to $500.
Kahuku, at $4,000, is lower than the
rates charged for around the island, for
the distance to Kahuku mill by way of.
Pail is thirty light and half miles
from the Young Hotel, and forty-eight
miles by way of Waialna, therefore a
ear win have to make the complete
circuit in order to save ten miles, in
returning by the longer route As to
the city rates within the three-mile
limits. the $160 fare is not exorbitant
for distance beyond the one mile limit,
and it < improbable for an auto to
take single fare beyond the two-mile
point at $1.00, as the cost of mainten-
ance will show, especially those in the
rent service, and in spite of good roads.
The rent cars are reeling out q posi-
bic average in all conditions of roads,
and loads, of twelve hundred to eigh.
teen hundred miles per month, with
tires raised in price twenty-five per
cent. since July last, as the following
figures will show: Prior to July, cas-
ings, thirtyfour by four and a half,
cost $43.75, raised fifteen per cent. in
July, and in September ten per cent.
more added, making total of twenty
FIVE per cent, which is existing at the
present time. In other words the same
tire costs $500 now, lasting in service
from seven weeks to three months;

REGARDING SHOPPING HOURS.

Editor Advertiser:-We notice quite
an interest is being taken in the matter
of extending the hours of business in
this city, and according to some mem
bers of the merchants association a
great deal of trade is being lost TO the
white stores on account of the oriental
stores getting customers when other
parts of town are closed for business.
We can speak from both sides of the
question. We used to keep our estab-
lishment open until nine o clock at
night. We reaped no benefit by so do
ing.
We then closed at eight clock and
found there was nothing to warrant
our burning lights SO late. So we fell
in line with the white stores and now
close every evening excepting Satur-
day., at half past FIVE.
We are turning out more suits than
we have ever done since being in busI-
ness. We employ nearly double as much
help as we formerly did. We trade
with all classes of people. Our store
is SO situated that should there be any
extra trade at night, we should get it.
But we are pleased to say that we
believe it to be the best interest of
employer and employee alike, as well as
the general public, to recognize what we
consider modern hours, and trust the
merchants of Honolulu will in time all
fall in line and recognize fair day g
labor. Thanking You for space in your
paper. W. W. AHANA CO.,

ing on Saturday when the staff of en-
ployes unpaeked the boxes of cigarettes
that had just been taken from the

far beyond their expectations and the
cigarette branch of the sales de.
partment is close second. The firm
has made a speciality of high-grade Ma

PROGRESS UPWARDS.

Editor Advertiser:-Will you kindly
give space to the following views re-
gardiug the later closing question now
before the public:
This question once again vindicates
the position of the modern sociol0gist'
who claims that he can deduct all So
cial relations if given full information
regarding the methods of procuring
livelihood. 1t also again proves that
in competition it is the meanest who
constantly exerts a predominating,
retrogressive influence. From this in
fnenee arise antagonisms which take on
different forms and manifest them
selves in the adoption of measures
calculated to advance the interests of
the most powerful contestants.
Long hours and a low standard Of
living seem 10 be proven by past ex-
perience to be nseparable and the hours
of toll in all advancing civilizations
have been the point around which the
conflict of opposing interests has ragged
most persistently. Happily we, in
America. secured short hours as COM
pared to Europe, and we developed
people that is fast reaching ont for
Ahlll AAlf1Aipl ONEI al AOICtS tudt ttIu ~
produce human weil-being and happi-
ness.
In Honolulu the meanness' in
business competition is represented by
Asiaties and it is seriously advocated
by the representative men of business
to come down to the Asiatic Standard
long hours of toll, bringing. in their
train. small compensation and low
standard of living.
Is there no alternative? Must we
come down? Can't we raise up'
/ offer the following-No one, per-
haps, has the temerity to claim that
lonner hours are desirable. 1t is en-
tirely phase in the struggle for exist
ence that we must meet one way or an
other that shall rebound to the most
good of the greatest number. Hence,
if Asiatic competition is such that the
general well-being is harmed thereby,
if they will, if permitted, keep open
stores until such late hours that in
tellectual and moral development is
thereby injured, why not pass such or
dinances that will remove such evils?
Why not close all stores. including the
Asiatic, by ordinance at FIVE O'Clock in
the evening of every dav and also close
all stores all day Sunday, again in

times others have worked for me long
hours and at all times have [ noted
physical, mental and moral retrogres-

community is to be guarded.
