REDUCED FARES
BEFORE ASKED

Editor Star: In your issue of Feb
ruary 6, under the heading "Feduced
Fares for Carnival" you state that
AS a result of the efforts which
Chairman H. M. Hepburn of the Pro
motion and Publicity Committee OF
the Merchants Association and Secre-
tary H. p. Wood of the Hawaii Pro.
motion Committee, have been making
to get reduced rates and special trans
portation facilities for the people OF
the outlying islands during the Floral
Parade, President J. A. Kennedy of
the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company has arranged the following
schedule of reduced rates for pilgrims
to festive Honolulu" etc, etc.
Allow me to correct the above
statement by saying that the Inter.
Island Steam Navigation Company
had made all arrangements to issue
special round trip excursion tickets
from other island ports at reduced
rates and had advertised the same in
the Hawaii, Maui and Kauai news
papers, long before the above-named
gentlemen took up the matter with
the management of our company, and
it was not through any efforts or
their part, as your article would lead
readers to believe, that these specia
rates were secured.

New York newspa pers are solid against
Roosevelt. The first inference which will
be drawn from this is that, IL Roosevelt is
finally nominated New York Is very likely
to be carried by the Democrats If they give

like decent chance TO support their candi-
date.
Most Canadian papers look for Mr..
Roosevelt's making it most interesting

that Roosevelt has issued no criticism Of
Taft. but that il is evident that Taft has
not fulfilled the Roosevelt expectations.
