fit of those who already have sewer
connections as those who do not
have such connections to vote for
the sewer bonds.
How much will the $50, 900 bonds
increase the taxation? Even should
the city not grow, but based on the
same taxable valuation as was used
last year. the principal and interest
of these bonds would all be paid in
fifteen years by an annual tax of q
mills. By running 80 years the
principal and interest would all be
paid by an annual tax of II mills.
This is on the assumption that the
city would draw fair rate of IN
terest on accommodating sinking fund
money.
But is certain that the city will
continue to annually increase its
taxable valuation so that the actual
tax for these were bonds will prove
less than above stated.
The benefits to public health and
private comfort to be obtained
mean so much for the further
growth and prosperity of the city,
that we cannot too strongly urge
our citizens to 60 to the polls next
tuesday and vote for the sewer
proposition.

A LITTLE SERMON
ON PRIZE WINNING

One of our young contestants in
The Stars great $4,000 prize contest
has just written that she hopes the
Lord will help her to win one of the
big prizes offered.
Now, there is a very old saying,
that "the Lord helps him who helps
himself and it has been proved true
to the satisfaction of thousands of
persons the world over, in thousands
of different connections. 1t will with
out question prove as true in the mat
ter of getting subscriptions to The
Star as in any other honorable under
taking.
The great thing in winning a prize
of any kind in this world is conf
dence in yourself, backed by an in
domitable determination. Persons
who apply these woodworking char
acterists to anything they undertake
have already won two-thirds of the
battle. Add to these an intelligent
and systematic mind, and you are
invincible.
The young men and women who
are going to get the $3.50 cash prize,
the valuable Kaimuki lot, the $500
savings bank account, the free trip
to the Coast with expense money
added, or any of the more desirable
of the fourteen prizes already offered
by The Star for new subscribers are the
ones who, starting out with confidence,
determination, and are using their
God-given gray matter. In other
words, they are the ones who WORK
at whatever they turn their hands to,

between 1900 and 1910 is with
out parallel. No great capital has
ever pushed faster to the front since
censuses worthy of the name began
to be taken.
If the Times thinks that this city's
present rate of progress is lamentably
inadequate, what will it say of the
progress made between 1900 and 1919
by the American cities? In that Pc
riod Chicago grew 2S.7 per cent, Phil
adelphia 1877, st. Louis 1874 and Bos-
ton 1876. In the list of cities of more
than 100000 population Cleveland is
the only one whose gain exceeded
New York's, Cleveland's percentage
being 46.9. Instead of maintaining
that New(Tork's growth has been an
normally small, the Times, if it pays
due attention to census statistics,
ought to admit that it has been aston
ishingly large. We live in the one
great city of the world whose advance
in the last decade was abnormally
accelerated.-New York Tribune.

rHE GROWTH OF BIG CITIES.

1t is hard to take seriously the con-
tentiOn of the New York Times, le-
newed yesterday, that New York's
splendid growth in the decade from
1900 to 1910 was disappointingly in
adequate, only 80 per cent, instead
of the customary excess of over so
per cent" We pointed out on Tues
day that the percentage of increase
between 1900 and 1910 was 1877, while
the percentage Of increase for the ter
rtory now composing New York was
only 81 between 1890 and 1900, and
for New York city before consolida-
ton was 25.6 between 1887 and 1890,
% between 1870 and 1880 and only
1913 between 1860 and 1870. In order
to find a growth of more than so per
cent in a decade it is necessary to 90
back to the period before the Civil
War, when New York had less than
one-tifth Of the population which it
has now.
When a small city starts out to De-
come a big city its gains in the first
stages of its progress naturally show
largest in the percentage column.
After it has achieved high rank as a
center of population the ratio in
crease must steadily diminish, unless
annexation of adjacent territory is re-
sorted to, In view of this inevitable
tendency to retardation in the ratio
of gains, the ability of New York TO
add 1877 per cent to a population of
S.4372O2, as it did in 19OO-1O, is far
more remarkable than was its ability
to add SIS per cent to a population
of 5l5,547, as it did in 1S5O-6O No
city in the world of more than 1000
600 inhabitants can expect to have
normal growth in a decade exceeding
80 per cent London's ratio of in
crease has been declining steadily.
Between 1901 and 1911 it was only
1912 per cent. Paris, Berlin, Vienna, |
Toxic and st. Petersburg are all |
growing much more slowly than New
York is. In fact, among cities of the

and who work thinkingly and logic
ally towards a definite end.
There is nothing inherently difficult
in getting subscribers to The Star.
In fact, generally speaking, it is the
easiest kind of proposition. The
most confident, the most determined
man in the world could not, and the
intelligent man would not attempt to
sell something that nobody wanted or
had any use for But everybody has
use for The Star-needs it. More
over, most persons in Hawaii appre-
ciate the fact that they need The
Star, and if they are not already TAX
ing it it is most likely because they
are like all human Hnd-prone to put
off, to procrastinate The Star cannot
reach all of these individuals in the
most effective weapon-the personal
element-and so to reach just this
kind of people has adopted the prize
plan, by which a real live representa-
tive of The Star may be provided to
come in direct touch with everybody.
The result of the plan is already
most gratifying, not only to The Star
but to its earnest army of workers.
The contest has just well started and
will continue until sometime after the
first of the year. If you are a con-
testant, just read this little sermon
over twice. If you are not, think Of
a friend who is, and who will appre-
ciate having your subscription for the
votes it will give him. And ,remem-
Der, that you NEED The Star-the

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-While a wait

Following an unusually quiet campaign.
The election to office of Mayor.elect
Rolph and a number of incumbent
heads of departments at the Septem-
Der primary had bereft the second
campaign of the greater part of the
customary popular excitement. Com
paratively few meetings were held,
campaign managers preferring to rely
upon publicity rather than spellbind-
ing.
There was something of waking
up, however, in the closing two weeks.
The contest between Fickert and Ha-
thorn for the district attorneyship was
an exceedingly bitter one, and their
respective supporters were out all over
the city Money made it's appearance
in the poolrooms, and if betting can
be regarded as an indication of COM
ing events, Fickert's reelection was
foretold when in the last "a hours
the odds on him rose from 10 to
to to 1.
Sheriff Contest Exciting.
Another exciting contest was that
for the sheriffs office, for which Egg
ers always ruled favorite, owing to
the general rumor that the bulk of
the vote cast for Larry Dolan at the
primary would be added to his
strength. Finn, however, put up
desperate fight fore reelection. and
strong card played by him was a let
ter from Governor Johnson commend
ing his record as a member of the
last State legislature. There was an
elevcnth-houT rumor that he FiCkert
and Finn forces had combined for
their mutual advantage.
Very little public notice was taken
of the contest for Auditor Auditor
Boyle was generally regarded as hav-
ing an advantage over John Lack
mann, whom he led at the primary by
1000 votes. The supporters of Hon.

on the 10000 votes polled for Charles

was distinctly anti-Boyle.
