HACK AND AUTO
ORDINANCE

There were eight or nine public auto
mobile drivers anG one hackman at
the open meeting held last night by
Chairman J. c. Quinn of the road COM
mittee to consider the ordinance re-
Iating to fares ard regulations. Jack
Thompson was The lone hacKman.
The principal change adopted in the
draft was making one to four passen-
gers a load for one automobile fare
instead of one to five, this for long
journeys, shopping and Joy riders, etc.
On ThompsOn's objection the re-
quirement of wearing badge by driv-
ers. which the chairman was surprised
to learn from Deputy County Attorney
Milverton would apply to chauffeurs
was struck out 1t was maintainer
that numbers on the vehicles were suf-
ficient. A provision to have the num-
Der ON the back o. the drivers seat was
also stricken from the draft.
A section requiring drivers to dis
play copy ~ the ordinance and rates
of fare in sight of the passenger was
char ged to make it necessary only for
the driver to keep the document in his
pocket and show it if requested.
Fares for hacks were left SUB
stantially as they have been from time

passenger to or from Beretania ave-
nue. and the harbor and between Maui
nakea and Punchbowl streets, and up
ward proportionate to distance. With
in the inner town limits just stated the
fare for automobiles is one dollar a
passenger and fifty cents for each ad-
! dltional passenger. These rates for
both hacks and autos also prevail for
distances not exceeding one mile with
ing limits described, the territory be-
ing roughly between Ward avenue near
Thomas square to the Asylum road,
| and between the junction of Kualkini
and Lusitana streets and the harbor.
Hacks double their rates for a two
mile distance, while automobiles have
the same fare for that as for the
mile limit.
w. }. cooper, representing the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee, being ask
ed if he wanted to offer any sugges-
tions said lie did not know what the
rates ought to be but hoped Honolulu
would not be noted among cities visit
ed by tourists for eXorbitant charges in
that line.
Mayor Fern presided at the meet.

THE VALUE OF PROPRIETARY
MEDICINES

is proven by the very large percentage
of physicians prescriptions for the
same remedies found in every drug
store in America, but as they are
written in Latin, few patients realize
this fact.
The old standard proprietary medi-
cines like Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound that have stood the
test of time, deserve a place in every
family medicine chest, and it is most
certain they would not be prescribed
by physicians if they were able 10 de-
wise a formula equally as ellicacious.

A Sermon on Poverty

The poverty thought is as bad as the
poverty reality. We have heard of
people making themselves actually sick
by simply imagining they were i'll.
Thought is the mightiest OF powers,
from the throne of the mind it rules
the body and all the physical actions.
The conviction that you are poor
and must remain so will keep you pow
erty stricken. Such a thought will
prove fatal to any progress. 1t will
weigh you down and keep your wheels
sunk deep in the rut.
The men who battled with poverty
and rose triumphant in victory banished
from themselves the poverty thought
the thought that they were always to
remain down.
The poverty thought contradicts the
promise of the divine and nullifes the
best qualities OF humanity. Collateral
can never take the place of character,
nancy does not bring happiness, and
there is something larger, something
higher for solution in the divine plan
than the bread-winning problem.
Man was created for noble purpose;
poverty thwarts that purpose, thus sub
verting human destiny. There have
lived thousands who had mighty poten-
tialities in their breasts and who seem
ingly were called into the world for
high and holy aims, but who were
dragged down by the iron hand Of pow
erty into the slums of uselessness, to
be finally swallowed up by the mud Of
oblivion.
Though poverty has spurred men tc
effort, it almost invariably is narrowing,
belittleing, degrading and generally
develops the worst characteristics.
Many are the noble examples il
story of men who have mastered theil
circumstances and won victories anc
gained for themselves undying honor
Yet these exceptions do not break the
rule that poverty is a curse. The only
man I ever heard preach sermon
conscientiously on the blessings of pow
erty was a preacher who had $40, 900
year income, and Of course he spoke
from experience.
Instead Of praising poverty, VT
should hate ii and do our best to make
it preventable. But the unfortunate
part of poverty is the thought tina
many of its victims have gotten int
their heads that they can never &c
away from it.-Madison c. Peters.

Apples to Advertise Northwest

That Wenatchee apples are superior
to all others is evidenced by the fact
that the Spokane chamber of commerce
has selected them as the best means
of advertising the Pacific Northwest.
The commercial organization of the In
land Empires metropolis has arranged
to make a display, comprised exclu-
sively of Wenatchee fruit, in the center
of New York's business district.
The exhibit, which will be on view
at least thirty days, will be witnessed
by tens of thousands of people. Be-
cause of its character-just apples-it
will be regarded in the biggest city on
the American continent as somewhat
of departure in the matter of exposi-
tons, and for this reason, if for no
other, it will occasion widespread COM
ment in the press of the Atlantic sea-
board. 1t is certain to result in desira-
Bile publicity for the Pacific Northwest
in general and the Wenatchee valley
in particular.
But, really, the greatest benefit from
the display will accrue to those east
erners whom it induces to move their
homes to this rich, undeveloped coun-
try. There are hundreds of thousands,
probably millions, of industrious, intel
ligent American citizens on the Allan
tic coast that are now struggling for
scarcely more than existence. If they
could be convinced Of the reward that
awaits honest effort in the fruit belt oil
the Pacific Northwest, they would not
hesitate to better their condition.
Some of them have heard in a legend
airy sort OF way of the boundless oppor-
tunities in this section of the Union;
but the tales seem extravagant and are
regarded with incredulity; Others o.
them are ignorant OF the Pacific North
west and its great possibilities.
Multitudes are there anxious anc
willing to improve their lot in life
wonderful resources are here ready Il
yield bounteous returns. The people
there must be informed Of the condi
tions here; and the Spokane chambel
of commerce has invoked the bes
method of disseminating such informa
tion.- Republic.

Unique Method of Advertising Town

There seems to be resourcefulness IN
the Marlin, Texas, commercial club, IN
the matter of publicity plans. The
weekly exclusions by the business men
will be followed by other plans OF
attracting attention to Marlin, and
balloon project has just been Matched
out. Bags of hydrogen gas or heated
air will be sent up from the town upon
a number of occasions in the near fu-
ture. Those calculated to travel but
few miles will first be used, It being
desired that these drop at some point
within the county, and to each OF them
will be attached orders on business
houses for articles of merchandise, and
a check on the bank of the city Tor
cash given by the commercial club.
The finder of the balloon will receive
all the prizes. Still days will be select
ed so that it will be uncertain in what
part OF the county the aerial foater will
fall. Another balloon will be sent up
of the long distance kind, which will
be apt to travel from so to 200 miles,
and to this one will be attached an
order by the commercial club Of Mar
lin on any railroad company in the
state for a round-trip ticket to Marlin,
an order on any bathing institution Of
the city for two weeks bath course,
and an order on any hotel or boarding
house of Marlin for two weeks board.
These methods have been fully deter
mined and adopted by the commercial
club, and the same will be executed
at some time before spring. The ex-
act time of sending up the long dis
lance bag will be later announced in
the daily press Of Texas. These plans
of attracting notice to Marlin originated
in the alert mind OF Mayor Hefner,
who is doing things" for Marlin.
