far behind in modern publicity meth
DDS. That the Promotion Committee
did splendid work within the limits of
its appropriation, but that the world
generally heard more about Port Jar
Wis, New York, than she did about Ho-
nolulu. This was not strange, because
Honolulu had become a big prosperous
city in these many years without any
great amount of publicity, and it was
pretty hard to tell a successful man
or a successful city how to do bust
ness. Until you can instil in the
minds of the people or the heads of a
business that honest publicity is a
way to get more business at less
cost, you are not apt to get very far
in the matter of an advertising eX-
penditure.
From what l explained, however, it
seemed apparent to the gentleman
that Honolulu and the island were
working along the right publicity
lines, but there was necessity of more
publicity.

All this conversation was brought
about by the fact that I brought up

had the question up last year with
some other men and brought it up
again this year in the hopes of get
ting some new Information from men
who know to pass along to Honolulu.
I had read the Pacific Mail adver-
tisements about going to Japan during
the cherry blossom season, and their
advertisements about going to see the
Panama Canal, but none of us had
heard enough about the Honolulu fes-
tival to know just what was going on.
However, one man at the table was
particularly interested in the doing OF
such things and his conversation was
more Illuminating than all the others.
I carried on the conversation with
him after the others had left
The point he made, when I said
flower festival, was that Portland,
Pasadena, Redlands and many other
towns along the Coast have flower fes-
rivals of some kind every winter, and
they are held in many places in Eur

thing like that he will not get much

PROSPECTS OF TARIFF REDUCTION
ON SUGAR NOT ALARMING

it may be depended upon that the
one cent rate will never pass the Sen
ate. BY the time the tinkering has
been done and the Louisiana Con-
gressmen and Representatives have
got through their work, the rate will
be about 135 as opposed to the pres
ept tate of CS.
The fact that sugar is suffering far
more than any of the other schedules
gives rise to just complaint from
those districts which are affected and
will have its effect. 1t seems certain
that the compromise which will be
forced viii give sugar a fair deal from
Congress and that the reduction made
by the Committee on. Ways and
Means has been purposely made espe-
cially severe on account of the fact
that a compromise was expected and
was thus made allowance for.
From the stand which President
Taft has taken in the past it is gen.
orally expected that he will veto ali
tariff bills save those on wool and
cotton, which he might consistently
sign. In the meantime the Democratic
House is working hard upon down
ward revision, which is not expected
to go through, but which they calcu

SHARPLY CALLS
DOWN SENATOR La TOILETTE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February 3
The dinner of the Periodical Pub

was marked by a tart denunciatiou
of Senator La Toilette by Don c
Seitz of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association. who acted as
toastmaster.
Senator La Toilette began his
speech near midnight and spoke
nearly two hours. More than 500
diners were visibly wearied by the
long drawn out remarks of the Wis
iconsin Senator and toward the close
frequently interrupted him. Much or
his speech was devoted to the money
power and an attack upon the SINGER
ity of the press of the country.
When he had finished Toastmaster
Seitz said;
Il shall not attempt, nor have I the
time, to come to the defense Of the
newspapers of the country, which
have just been foolishly and untruth.

Senator La Toilette made no sign
of hearing the caustic remark uttered
in a half angry tone.
Says It Is Calamity to Senator.
To-day Mr. Seitz said in an inter
view:
"As the banquet was given by the
magazine publishers and as I was a
guest of Cyrus II. X. Curtis, president
of the association, | had to be eau

Betting FEVors Taft.

NEW YORK, February 6.-Wan
street learned today of the first offer
to bet on the outcome of the next
presidential election. The offer was
made on the curb of the Stock Ex-
change house and no takers could be
found. 1t was a bet of $4,000 to $4,000
that President Taft, if renominated,
would be reelected.
It was said today that Wall street
had come to believe that Roosevelt
would not get the presidential nomin-
alton at the Chicago convention. The
offer to bet will stand, however, for
some time to come.

PRESIDENT REFERS TO THEM AS POLITICAL EMOTlONALlsTS
 IN LINCOLN SPEECH.
NO MAN ABOVE THE DOLLAR
Makes Addresses at Three Dinners and Holds Reception Which Many Men Prominent in the Party in New York Attend.

New Yorn, Feb. 13.-President Taft outlined the policies and performan- ces of his party and defended them before the Republican Club at it's an nual Lincoln dinner at the Waldorf He didn't mention Col Roosevelt's candidacy or the Colonel himself di- rectly. but the club members and their guests figured that he had been read ing the Colonel's recent quotation from a Lincoln letter to the effect that Gold is good in it's place, but living patriotic men are better" and there was q roar of approval when MT. Taft said:
 Tt has been said, and it is com mon platform expression, that it is well to prefer the man above the dol lar, as if the preservation of property rights had some other purpose than the assistance to and the uplifting of human rights. sssWhen therefore the demagogue mounts the platform and announces that he prefers the man above the dollar he ought to be inter rogated as to what he means thereby whether he is in favor of abolishing the right of the institution of private property and of taking away from the poor man the opportunity to become wealthy by the use of the abilities God has given him"
 The President was speaking at the first of three dinners he was to attend in the evening, those of the Graduates Club and the National Retail Dry Goods Association being the others, but he did not spare his voice as he went on to declare that the "old" Re publican party is the only truly pro gressive" party and denounced the kind of progressves who desire ito make the selection of candidates, the enactment of legislation and the de. cision of courts to depend upon the momentary passions of the people" as mot progressives, but political emo tionalists or neurotics."
 Those extremists who sought to make the selection of candidates, the enactment of legislation and the de cisions of courts depend upon the mo mentary passions of a people neces- sarily indifferently informed as to the issues presented, the President said, were not Progressives, but political emotionalists, who would hurry us in to a condition which would find no parallel except in the French Revolu- ton or the "bubbling anarchy that once characterized the South Ameri- can republics

CHARACTER DOLL IS LATEST
Each Type Is Made After the Portrait or Photograph of Real
 Child.

Perhaps the most interesting feat ure about the jointed child dolls is the fact that each type is made after the portrait or photograph of real child, and is often copy of living model. One traces the incentive to realism in doll manufacture to love ly elderly lady in Munich. She is an artist, and one with deep love for childhood It seemed to her that when one considered all the passion of love which a doll inspires in the breast of it's owner, that little girl ought to have pet that looked more human than dolls have been wont to look. With this idea she developed, in plaster, dolls that were exact imi- tations of the various peasant folk who came to Munich from Bavarian and other provinces of Sunday The holiday attire of each native village was represented. These delightful little figures of peasant life attracted the attention of the Empress of Ger many three years ago-at the time when they first appeared-and she made Christmas presents of them to children of the royal household. She was delighted with the human-looking manikins, and this fact did not take long to spread throughout the Em- pire and reach the ears of Americans. Now the artist in Munich has several artist assistants to aid her in develop ing new peasant faces and types. and factories eagerly await models from her studio to dress according to her designs.-Harpers Bazar.
