Our Pacific Coast distribution of

The assistance given by local firms

During the year we have furnished
different newspapers on the mainland
with photographs and data concerning
Hawaii which they have used in illus

prizes offered have been free trips to
the Islands. Much good publicity has
been secured in this way
We have also secured and forward

Excursions That Were Planned.

cursions to Hawaii from the main
land The work was well started and
tremendous amount of good adver-
Using secured. For different reasons,
however, the excursions from Seattle
and Portland which, for a time seemed
absolutely certain, failed, but the
value of the publicity secured was not
lost for as a direct result we had in
Honolulu last season more visitors
from the Northwest Cncluding British
.Columbia) than ever before.
The Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce could not find a steamer that
suited them available for the trip so
deferred the plans for their second
excursion to Honolulu until another
season.
At our suggestion, the Chicago As
ISOLATION of Commerce in chartering
the steamship Minnesota for their trip
to the Orient included Honolulu in
the itinerary. This excursion, as you
will remember, was abandoned on ac-
count of an accident to the Minnesota
on her homeward voyage which put
this huge vessel in dry dock and caus-
ed her to drop one trip from her regu-
lar schedule.
The work of the Committee in get

sions to Hilo and Honolulu.

An Erpo,ition Monument.

During the past week the corner
stone Of the Jefferson Memorial build
ing was laid with impressive cere-
monies at the main entrance to For
rest park in St. Louis where the great
Louisiana Purchase exposition was
held of which IL is to be a permanent
monument. From the sketch which
has been made public It is plain that
the memorial building is to be a struc-
ture commensurate in artistic beauty
and imposing stability with the won
derful worlds fair that It is intended
to recall.
We direct attention to what St.
Louis is doing in this connection as
a reminder to the people Of Omaha
that we have as yet no permanent
monument TO our rans-Mississippi
exposition, although we have greater
right to be proud OF It, and to point
back to its shining success, than have
other cities that have held similar ex-
positions before and after, with fewer
obstacles to surmount and smaller re-
suits 10 their credit. When the Omaha
exposition was In course OF eonstruc-
tion II was urged by The Bee, and
particularly by its then editor, who
was one of the exposition managers,
that the Arch of States be built of
stone contributed by the various
trans Mississippi states participating
30 that it might survive the evanescent
glories of the lagoon city. This sug-
gestion was not adopted and carried
out at the time only because Of the
limited resources of the exposition
promoters, and the necessity OF using
every dollar for the immediate in
dispensable necessities Of the oc-
casion.
The hope and wish, however, ia
still cherished by many who appre-
ciate the Omaha exposition more as II
fades further in the background that
this Arch of States or the Administers
ton arch may some day, in the not
too distant future, be reproduced In
enduring materials and serve as a
permanent monument This purpose
should not be allowed to lapse, nor
the idea be abandoned, and some day
Omaha will point out to visiting
strangers an appropriate Trans Mis-.
slssippi exposition memorial the same
as st. Louis, Chicago and other cities
will be doing for theirs.

are simplifying the language to the
extent of preferring the simpler forms
of expression, both in our writing and
our speaking. II is purifying our
speech and improving our diction. The

write or speak in terms of the most
commonplace language, is the most
effective. Even eloquence may be

Funeral ConveYances

The advent of the automobile as a
funeral conveyance is being heralded,
and to those who occasionally have to
experience the ordeal OF attending
burials the automobile funeral holds
forth promise of change for the. bet

especially desirable at a time when
mourners are oyerwrought and se-

But the automobile funeral under
present conditions would make the
burial still more costly than 1t now is.
Conveyance by automobile is for the
rich, and not for the poor. Yet the
poor in the house of mourning feel
their loss just as deeply. and suffer
from our bArbarouS funeral customs
just as keehly. In some places the
street car funeral has been worked
out to answer the same demand for
the poor that the automobile funeral
will answer for the rich. The funeral
car attractively constructed with cata-

world Peace BY ths Money Route.

Apparently the most tangible pro-
duct of the third National Peace con
ference comes from the suggestion of
James Speyer, the New York banker,
10 stop citizens and subjects OF the
nations from raising or negotiating
loans to other nations to carry on war.
The conference approved the susges-
ton and resolved to call on the United
States government to recommend it
as part of the program Of the third
Hague tribunal.
The financial side of war is the vital
side today Not many wars could lie
promoted without money. When it
becomes impossible to finance wars it
will become impossible to have them.
So, as we have said before, world
peace, when 1t is reached, is likely to
be reached by the money route. Ma
tlons have always been able to endure
affronts to their sovereign dignity
when they have not had the cash
wherewith to resent them. It ls not
sentimental matter, at least, 1t is not
to be settled by appealing to sentiment
alone.
1t is a great thing for the cause of
world peace to enlist the co-dperation
of such men as Mr.. Speyer and Mr..
Carnegie, whose whole life training
has brought them to- see things from
the money point Of view, Perhaps
the Speyer proposition may be consid-
cred as the corollary of Mr.. Carnegie
scheme Of giving S10,00O,00O to
promote peace. Certainly it will be
bottling up war very effectively when
millions are available to prevent war
and none may be had for carrying II
on That is doubling the resources of
the dollar in the interest of interna-
tional amity.
If the United States includes this
proposition in it's recommendations to
The Hague-and there is no reason
to suppose 1t will not-and 1t is favor
ably received by this tribunal, it will
carry the world long way toward the
goal Of arbitration instead Of arms.
