knock der phtuiiing cut OF anybody
what insults der city by trapping"
| tellei you Adoiph. /. makes me
so ina AZ anything to hear some OF
der fellows What liz in Honolulu al
ways kicking. One on der fellows
what shpoke at der meeting bet you
he knew What he vas talking about
He said as how dishonesty would MOI
be got out on city or business or
church or anything else until It ISIS
pulled right out OF der human nature
der same as dey vas doing now to
cut der badness lamps from der bad
boys heads. He said " der vas more
getting move on und less growing
der city would be all right.
tell you, Adolph. one OF der needs
Of this city iss to get more civic pride
and patriotism into der people. Most
on dem have little Of 1t in der make
up but 1t iss so little dot you would
think II vas put in nit one OF dose
little things What dey put morphine
into you init und only one dose at dot.
Och, Adolph, wish could shpeak
der England language bet you
would tell dem few things. | han
seen fellows in desc city What get der
lining here, ind II ISIS bully good
living too, und What could not earn
lining any place else who seemed to
take delight In making fun on der
town, holding der local government to
be made fun OF. und dey are de first
ones to kill any new enterprise What
iss going to start or IN dey hear OF
any man coming here NIT little
money to invest dey are de first to fiji
him up NIT big story of how he will
foil II he shpends cent.
Where in der world viii you find an
other city. so far away from der main
land dot has der advantages what ISIS
found in Honolulu? Our blocks OF
fairly good streets, our miles of street
railways, cur fine wharves, our col
leges. our schools, our churches pnd
lots of other things that We ought to
be pround OF to say nothing OF de-
export und import trade dot ISIS grow
ing ali off der time. In der light of
all on desc goot record for Why der
abuse by its own citizens? Why les It
dere vas SO mnGR- civic pride In der
cities on der mainland ind der vas
so little off II here? What ISIS der mat
ter init desc city?
In short time We viii begin to hear
all sorts of stories Off corruption In
office because der election ISIS coming
on. neffer take any shtock in dose
kind OF stories. IN all OF dose fellers
what are bowling about der other fell
lows What are holding Offices don't
like It for Why don't dey get In und
hold der Offices themselves?
Dey say dot they haff not got der
time, dot they han to attend to der
own private business, but they seem
to have all kinds on time to find fault
nit der government as It ISIS. Some
of dem say dot IN dey had der time
dey would not like to mix init der
crowd What ISIS In der Offices now for
fear they would get dirty. When see
man who thinks he will get soiled
by mixing in politics der city iss all
off der cleaner in he shtays away. If
We had to depend on dot kind off men
We would han no government Mt all
