JORDAN GOING OUT OF
PIECE GOODS BUSINESS

The business of E. w. Jordan & Co.
has grown to such an extent that the
firm finds itself in the position where
it has not room enough to take care
of all the departments the stock rep
resents. While it has always done a
good business in dress materials, it
has not really room enough to COM
fortably take care of the trade.
TIE lace department, which is a
feature at Jordans, as we'll as the
glove and fancy department, has out
grown it's space, SO the space occupied
by piece goods is to be given to other
departments and the capital invested
in the materials will be devoted to
other branches of the store. The firm
is determined to make a feature of
all lines it carries. This requires
room, and the piece goods will be sac
rificed at big closing-out sale, par
ticulars of which will be detailed in
the Star-Bulletn as soon as the stock
has been gone over. The sale COM
mences next Wednesday, September

REMEMBER THE ISSUE

There need be no misCOnceptiOn of the issue
involved in the present county campaign. 1t is
the issue of Incompetence VS.. Efficiency.
1t is not campaign fer or against any indi-
vidual except as the community demands that
individual record be such that it will guarantee
efficiency in public office. This city, like any
businessman, is going to see to it that men are
elected to office who will not waste the taXpay-
els' money and who will have some definite and
constructive program for the city follow dur
ing the next two years.
The voters in the various precincts are clear
headed enough to see the direct relation between
tile men they elect to office and the manner in
which the citys affairs-ther affairs-are
handled, and they will take care that their can
didates are men of honor, integrity and intelli-
gence. -. -. &@%.
The campaign will be fought out on these
lines and the men whose record will not stand
the test must not expect public support, If they
are possessed of manhood, they will put aside
personal ambition for office and show their anx.
iety to do. public service by working for men
whose record will stand the test
The issue is clear enough. Let it not he for
gotten. +..

TIRE Bar and THE COLOR line

Whether or not the American Bar association
as a whole will sustain the action of its execu-
tive committee in unseating negro members at
Milwaukee will be a matter of national interest,
for the fight in the bar association has received
national attention. 1t involves President Tafts
administration and will doubtless play a part in
the national campaign this fall
The fight against the negro members now is
evidently an Outgrowth of the bitter fractional
strife that arose when President Taft named
William ii. Lewis, a colOred man, as a DEPUTY
attorney general 1t was generally recognized
that in so doing the president was paying DO
1itical debt to the cOored voters: at least there
has been no REPUTATION of the charge. On the
other hand, Lewis is said to be a man of exccp-
tionab legal attainments and perfectly we'll quail
flied to fill deputyship in the attorney gener-
ais office The mere rumor of his appointment,
however. was enough to rouse a storm in the
ranks of the American Bar association whose
. fiohting members carried their grievances to
congress. Taft stood firm, however, and Lewis
was given the position Since then there have

START nov ON THE FLORAL PARADE

From all reports, the 1913 Floral parade
plans, after burst at the start, are now Ian,
gushing and neglected. Past experience has
shown one thing quite conclusively, and that is
that the Promotion Committee cannot expect the
director of the Parade to put aside his private
business for six months and devote his time to
the carnival. He may do it for the last two
months, but his efforts then are desperate and
disorganized. The cheapest way to carry on the
1913 Parade is to secure some official who will
devote his energies from now until February %
to this first of all. Organization in this public
undertaking is absolutely necessary. There is
not enough spontaneous enthusiasm shown by
the community over the next carnival to war
rant reliance on late and hasty scramhling by
unpaid committees for entries in the parade
and for carnival features.

SANITATION ROAD BUILDING

Senator A. +. Judd'S vigorous call for action
by the ne Xt legislature to advance the sanitation
I0f the city ik us timely as il is inspiring and
wcl-conSidpr4l.
The last legislature had d record Of good az,
accomplishment in this direction, but sad expert
rncr since then has shown that the cost Of build
ing several very necessary sanitation reads
WAS much underestimate, and these have had
to wait for the next legislature to meet the addi-
tionaI EXPENSE The Oahu loan fund commits
sion, entrusted with the duty of putting through
improvements to Frog lane and School street,
early found that the appropriations are insuffi
cent for the purpose. The good work OF the last
legislature has thus been seriously impaired in
spite of its sincere intentions.
Senator Judd heartily indorses the proposal
which has lately received wide consideration in
discussion of public improvements, that these
'health roads" as he calls them, should be built
at the expense of the benefited property. He
proposes an assessment area Of sufficient mag
nitude so that practically all the property with
in the boundaries of Diamond Head and Fort
Shafter will bear the cost of what is a benefit
to the entire city,-the protection of health
This plan is a development of the local assess
ment plan for street improvements, such as prac-
tically every American municipality now fol-
lows. In the local assessment plan the benefited
area is of course restricted to the property I'M
mediately AUDITING on the proposed street OF
street improvement, and to property so near the
street that its own value is enhanced by the i'm
The courts have held that property
thus indirectly benefited may be assessed:
Senator Judd's plan is more comprehensive
and justly So for it is matter of benefit to the
entire city. His assessment area includes all of.
the city proper, and the property taxation will
thus be evenly and equitably and widely distrib-
uted. How this plan may be combined with the
lesser local assessment plan is a problem to be
worked out and one that requires much care.
Senator Judd's financial policy is to authorize
the city and county to issue bonds secured by
liens on the property, which is the
generally accepted municipal plan on the main
land & .... ~ -
There are many details to be worked out, but
there is no question that Honolulu must take
up the problem of cutting up it's wet lands if full

, Here is a gem from Col. RoOsevelt's Provi
dence speech:
"The men for whom we are making the
fight are not politicians and are not men of
great wealth. They are busily engaged in
their daily toll; they do not appear as
speakers at public meetings; they do not
take prominent parts in political canvasses;
and they can not contribute large sums of
money for the furtherance of the campaign
in their behalf"
Now compare this with Senator Penrose's
open charges last week that in 1904 Standard
Oil gave RoOsevelt's campaign 100000 and that
$15O,O0O more was demanded. In answer the
Colonel says if money was received from Stand
ard Oil in 1904. he didn't now of it. Didn't
know of it. Not even DR.. Lyman Abbott, the
