high cost of living. Parisian life, where all necessaries are expensive, is com uensated for by the free sight of a city that people come to see from all corners ot the globe, and by the possibility of all kinds of pleasures and amusements.
 The workingman leads this kind of a life because 1t pleases him. If this does not, why doesn't he leave the city? Is it more difficult to emigrate from Paris to the country than from the country to Paris? The return to the country does not mean as much risk as a migration, to Paris, for in the country strong arms are always wanted and well received, and lack of employment is almost unknown.
 It is the desire to look at beautiful streets, magnificent gowns. cafes thea tres street cars, parks. electric lights in fact everything that makes city life expensive It is the wish to enjoy life; to spend money, made in an easier way than by hard work in the country. Let us not discuss this desire from moral point of view; but let us agree that those who set everything aside to have 1t full filled have certainly no right to com plain because the cost of living goes up.
 The increased cost of living is no ca lamity. first because it is nearly all ways accompanied by chance to make more money in an easier way, and sec Ond because there diWdyo thO possibility of going away from the places where living is expensive. If you suffer from the cramped accommoda- tions of the great city, why do you continue to crowd into the great cities?
 The dislike of a monotonous life, a life without excitement, has become an evil all over the world The intensity of life; the great department stores; the vaudeville theatre; the cafes, at tract to the great cities armies of peo- pie far from strong or smart enough to profit by the superior chances great city offers Then, when they have lost everything without satisfy ing their desires, they cry out against the laws and conditions of our times. What are we to do? Tell them to go back to the simple life. To give up their many artificial desires? That would be a waste of time. The remedy will not come until all those are forced to leave who have not the necessary qualifications to meet the increased cost of living in the cities.

IN BUSINESS CIRCLES

The next great contest in Honolulu
will be between the real estate men,
and the rock on which they will split
is. "Who first thought Of starting n
one hundred thousand club for IIe-
nolulI?" +. n'
Some one suggested the 100000
club the other day and the Bul | o.
tin commented favorably. The next
day another real estate man asked
the Bulletin why it had stolen his
idea.
The significant part of this is that
more than one person is beginning to
think along that line. What Homo
lulu has to fear is that the contest
ants for the honor Of inventing the
thought will indulge in such wrang.G
that the community will forget all
about the main proposition of every
one boosting to build up the popula-
ton of Honolulu. .'
Taking everything into considera-
ton. however, this city and the COM
munities of the other islands are
quite willing to not discuss topics
that give rise TO difference of opin-
ion and break up political families,
