JAPANESE VIEW OF BILLBOARDS
LIKENS THEM TO CAATER'S TOUPEE

The following is a Japanese transla-
ton of an editorial in the Sunday is
sue of the Japanese Daily Chronicle:
I'VE must abolish bulletin boards
on vacant lands. Their prevalence on
every piece of land which could be
found vacant is intolerably injurlng
the good appearance of the city" This
was a motto of the Advertiser which
it most zealously maintained. AS a re-
suit of this argument, law imposing
high tariff upon advertising agents of
this sort was passed by the 1911 ses-
sion of the Territorial legislature.
Contrary to their expectation, this law
had no desired merit and bulletin
boards are even constantly increasing.
Perceiving this apparent Indifference,
those advocates of the Advertiser,
having Ex-Governor Carter as their
leader, organized an association whose
purpose it is to exclude bulletin boards
completely. They made decision to
the effect that the members of the as

her both with desertion and with liv-

anxious to provide suitable living and

them. w. s.. Wise is his attorney

1t is possible that several compa-
nies of the Twentieth Infantry battal-
ion. under command of Major Burn
ham, will march from their post at
Fort Shafter to Fort Ruger tomorrow
morning, in time to witness the target
practice with the big 12inch mortars,
which begins at 9 o'clock. If carried
out, the hike will be in the nature of
a practice march, which at the same
time will give the men an opportunity
to see big guns in action-something
which infantrymen, stationed as they
are for the most part in inland posts,
rarely have oportunity of witnessing.
Two companies of the Twentieth
made the trip to the volcano about
two weeks ago, marching up to the
crater from Hilo, and camping for sew
eral days at the brink of the great pit.
The trip was greatly enjoyed by the
men, and Major Burnham, it is report
ed, loses no opportunity to show his
men good time, whenever it can be
consistently done. If the companies
march to Fort Ruger and back, the
distance covered will be something
like eighteen miles, and it is possible
that they will take shelter tents with
them, camping over one night at the
KaimuK most before returning.
The target practice is scheduled to
begin at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, and the first days firing should
be over by noon. On Wednesday the

bulletin boards through boycott
against those stores and goods which
used bulletin boards for advertise
ment,, and at the same time the Ad-
vertiser is constantly threatening
their users. Although at first glance
the arguments of the Advertiser and
of it's followers under Mr.. Carter seem
to be ratifable, it is in reality nothing
but simply a pTejudiced argument
caused by shortsightedness ignoring
the fact that there are always two
sides of a thing to take regard of. 1t
seems to be the foundation of their
argument that they think bulletin
boards injure good appearance of the
city and consequently impress bad
feelings upon tourists. However, the
most of bulletin boards are posted on
vacant lands, and naturally these un-
used lands are full of weeds, leaves,

Public Schools Open With
Increased Attendance

The public schools all over the Ter
ritory opened this morning, after the
summer vacation, with what is believ-
ed will a record-breaking attendance.
Inasmuch as no reports have come in
as yet, however, there is nothing but
surmise to base any statements upon.
There are 155 schools and about $50
teachers, and according to Superir-
tendent Pope every school in the Ter
ritory opened this morning, and in
only in two or three instances were
regular teachers not in their places.
In these cases, however, substitute
teachers have the classes.
The Watertown school opened in its
old room, with Mrs. Hayward as teach
er. This is the school which it was
intended not to open, on account Of

HEAVY STORM IN CHICAGO.
REV. ". k. LONO DIED TODAY

Rev. w. X. Lono, pastor of Kauma-
kapili church, this city, died this
morning at Keouhou, Kona, Hawaii,
where he had been for the past three
months on account of his health. The
information was received by members
of his congregation here by wireless
shortly before noon today.
The deceased was one of the best
known Hawaiian ministers in the Ter
ritory He was about sixty years Of
age, and his entire adult life had been
spent in the ministry. When quite a
young man he went as a missionary
into the South Sea islands, where for

WHARF REGULATIONS AGREED ON

At a luncheon today at the Com
mercial Club the members of the
Board of Harbor Commissioners and
representatives of the Oahu railroad,
came to a virtual agreement on mat
terof wharf and shipping regulations,
on which the commission has been
working for some time.
AS a result of this understanding,
the railroad company will operate its
wharves under the same conditions
that will apply on the government
wharves. In all probability the new
rules will be finally adopted by the
commissioners at their meeting next
Wednesday afternoon. After this 1t
will remain for the regulations to be
published according to law, when they
will become effective in thirty days.
Practically the only change sug-
gested by the railroad people to the
regulations as already drawn was in
the matter of time that foreign
freight for transshipment to other
islands may be permitted to remain
on wharves. Such freight will be
consequently given more leeway than
ordinary incoming foreign freight,
ten days on wharf instead of forty
eight hours for ordinary cargo under

THE FIRST REAL
FIRING FROM THE

practice will be held in the afternoon,
in order to allow an interval of twen-
ty-four hours between the two firings.
1t is probable that a large number of
civilians will be out Diamond Head
way on both days to witness the effect
of 12OO-pound projectiles dropping
into the ocean from the height of per-
haps two miles. The naval tug Navajo
will tow the 1Ox1O-foot target raft,
with a 4OO-yard tow line, and shots
must drop within a radius of fifty
yards in order to be counted hits.
On each days practice there will be
but fourteen shots fired, the first four
being known as test shots, and will
not be counted in the records.
1t is expected that most of the
higher army and navy officials will be
on hand to watch the first great gun

demonstrated a tremendous waste Of
water, particularly in the Oriental
sections. This is expected to be
checked very shortly by the installa-

". R. CASTLES REPLY TO SPEECH
OF CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN

Editor Star: Mr.. Kahn probably
made as good a presentation of the
arguments against any suspension of
the coastwise shipping laws of the
United States as could be made. But
it is doubtful whether any of his aud
itors were converted. Indeed, if a
vote had been taken after his remarks
it is doubtful whether the Chamber
Of Commerce would have modified its
decision in favor of a modified tenn
porary suspension of those laws in
their application to Hawaii.
He has been misinformed as to the
facts, however, for there have been
many occasions when applicants for
passage to the Coast have been turned
down because there were no accommo,
dations, not even officers rooms to be
had. Nor has there been any attempt
made here to secure suspension of the
law, except for passengers, for lin
tied period. The effort has been con.
fined wholly to relief from the hard
ships affecting passenger traffic-till
there are enough ships under the L. S.
flag to supply the demand. 1t is true,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-09-18

25OO tons, and seventy-two hours
for cargo of over 25OO tons, being
decided on.
In the case of domestic cargoes of
over 1000 tons delivered at any one
wharf, ten days are to be allowed for
while six days, as the
rule already reads, will continue to
apply to freight for Honolulu proper.
Other rules will probably be passed
practically as decided upon by the
board after the recent meeting, in
which some of the recommendation
of the local commercial bodies were
incorporated.
At today's conference Fred c.
Smith and G. p DenisOn represented
the railroad company, while all of the
members of the harbor commission,
except Mr.. Wakefield, who is on the
mainland, were present.
The meeting of the board to be
held on Wednesday will probably deal
entirely with the matter of wharf
regulation, since it is the object of
the board to have it adopted before
the size of the body is further re-
duced by the absence of Secretary
r. A. Berndt who also leaves for the
coast in about ten days.

however, that placing the Sierra, Will
helmina. Lurlne and Honolulan on
the San Francisco-H Honolulu route has
greatly relieved the tension, though
not meeting the situation fully. But
it must be remembered that travel be-
tween the mainland and Hawaii is
rapidly increasing, and will grow with
the stimulus of more ships, a result
which will benefit the ships as well
as the country.
Law Not Meant for Hawaii.
1t is trite saying that this law was
not made for present conditions, but it
is true; and in extending the laws of
the United States to Hawaii the coast
wise navigation laws ought to have
been considered as one of the laws
of the United States which is locally
inapplicable," as the Organic Act says
and it should have been modified to
suit conditions, as it probably would
have been had any one been guard
ing the interests of Hawaii at the

peared reminds the democratic mass
es too strongly of Organism in the
past. AS a result there is tendency
to halt and calmly consider the sit
uation. The South is hardly apt to
be swept off it's feet by Wilson wave
now that the people have begun to
think over the party prospects and
calmly sum up the conditions that
confront it. The initiative, referen-
dunn, recall, ct al, are not sufficiently
strong in this section to make them
winning battle cries on the part of
Wilson or any other candidate. What
we want down here is tariff reform
and economy in governmental ex-
penditures, and on these lines Gov
error Harmon stands far more promi-
nently as leader than the new apos-
tie in New Jersey.
Governor Harmon has been a fight
er for the cardinal principles of de-
mocracy for quarter of a century.
Governor Wilson is a new conner on
the platform. His career for a coup
lie of years has been spectacular, but
the steady, persevering, triumphant
democracy of Harmon over q period
that embraces so many hard fought
battles for the people makes him
more distinctive figure than Viii,
son.
The latest poll of congress, which
was taken by the Chicago Tribune;
shows that Governor Harmon of Ohio
is the first choice of the democratic
members for president; Speaker
Clark is second, and Governor Wilson
is third. This poll was taken since
that of the New York World. which
gave different result. There was
much larger vote in the Tribune poll.

mon has the vote of the entire demo-

OHIO. The governors revision of

TWAS A SPLENDID CAUSE.

THE statesmen and the polit-
ical economists of future years will
find much to marvel at, it may be
believed, in the verdict that the
people of Canada have just render
ed on the reciprocity agreement.
That measure held much, it is free
ly admitted, of advantage to the
American people. Its sure effect
would have been, as the years go
on, to protect this people in the
cost of living.
1t is all over now, at least for the
time being, of the American effort to
persuade Canada to join in lowering
the trade wall that stands as a bar
rier to reciprocal and sensible trade
relations between the two countries.
Of course statesmen in both the Unit
ed States and Canada will renew the
effort, for the policy is one that ought
not to be abandoned because of tenn
porary defeat. No question is ever
settled until it is settled right, but it
may be feared that the Canadian re-
buff will be felt by Americans for a
long time
There must be some sympathy
with President Taft in thinking of
the result. He had the courage and
the patriotism, in his desire to pro-
mote the best interests of his coun-
try and people, to enter on policy
that encountered antagonism in the
ranks of his own party. He was,
perhaps, ahead of his time in hoping
that the spirit of civilized comfy,
Of recognition of mutual needs,
would impel our northern neighbors
to accept the American tender OF
closer neighborly relations and prac-
tees, but time will surely vindicate
the wisdom Of his efforts and the
patriotic spirit that prompted his &C
ton. Finally, it is some cause for
satisfaction that the executive found
the democratic party in congress
broadminded, intelligent and cour.
ageous enough to drop party consid.
erations and strive with him to pro.
mote and safeguard the best interests
of the people in this splendid struggle
to protect the masses from the ever.

densome cost of living.

THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR.

The race for governor Will pc De-
tween Ex-Governor Joe Brown and
Judge Dick Russell, with the chances
largely in favor of the former. The
prohibition question has no place IN
the campaign, and the thinking, con-
servative people of Georgia are not
going to permit themselves to be
wrought up over a question that can
not possibly become an issue until
another legislature is to be elected.
Hon. ]. Pope Brown is a most excel
lent and clever gentleman, but he has
utterly failed to arouse any enthusi-
asm or enlist much of a following.
He is now making his third race for
governor (having twice before been
a candidate and retired each time),
and there are many who do not be-
lieve that he will remain in the race
until the end.
The people of the state are not
going to become aroused as they did
in recent campaigns, fractional lines
will be broken to a large extent, and
the governor will be chosen in
saner and more orderly manner.
