Honolulu w0men,-men, too, for the matter
of that,--will be deeply interested in the pres

opera house of Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait, per

and campaigning for "votes for women is with
her a life-work. She has a message in which
every citizen will be interested.
Woman's suffrage is just beginning to arouse

year, become a live political issue. Both the Re

whether or not the women OF Hawaii shall be

FIRE INsURiNCE RATHS.

! Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:-A few days ago an article in
la San Francisco paper told how. by
the aid of Mayor RoIph of that city
the. Merchants Association and the
! Chamber of Commerce, fire insurance
rates were beaten down in that city.
la reduction of some 90 per cent. being
accomplished This again reminds Us
| of @Honolulu's excessive rates Just
think of it. and s, per cent is charg-
ed in Chinatown on buildings not fire
proof and on the merchandise in the
buildings. goods that can be removed
in case of fire, and to a certain extent
generally are. DO you hear OF our
mayor fighting for reduction in
rates? Is our Merchants Association
or the Chamber OF Commerce losing
any sleep over these burdensome
rates-rates so excessive that bust
nessmen cannot afford to insure for
half value, or, in cases, not at all ?
Not much! The membership of both
these associations here are in the
business They get the premiums.
There is scarcely large concern in
Honolulu that does = not represent
some large insurance company. 1t is
our own people that fix and maintain
these high rates. Our large import
ers sell goods to the Chinese trade
land to others and then insure the
stock, or both stock of goods and the
building. AT the high rate charged,
the buyer can afford to insure for
only a limited amount. In many in
stances las in a case that came under
my observation few days since) the
merchant insures for only say half the
value of the goods in stock. The high
rates charged e per cent? prevents
more insurance, with the result often
of the losses falling partly on the
creditor, in case Of the entire de-
lstruction of the goods and property.
Now, Mr.. Editor, claim that rates
here, as elsewhere, should be based
on the risk. The future. must be judg-
ed by the past There have been no
big fires in this city in many, many
years; in fact, only one in twenty.
four or twenty-five years, and that
was caused by the government. II
no fires, then why these high rates,
SO high that they preclude protec-
ton? If no fires of any consequence
in a quarter of a century, why rates
so high that a clear profit of A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS is made by the
insurance companies annually, as gov
eminent statistics show? AT a re-
duction OF Is per cent. more insur-
ance would result, with greater profit
probably, as the danger of fires would
not increase. Let rates come down.
Let our. mayor get busy and do what
the mayor in San Francisco accom-
lplished Nothing said, nothing done.
Where do our candidates for mayor Of
this city stand on this very important
question? There are many Chinese
voters, and they are asking the ques-
tion There is no justification for
present burdensone rates They pre-
vent a man from getting fire protec-
| tion, sand also too often cause a loss
to his creditors. How IL 1t, Mr. Par
ker? The government gets $40 taxes
on $1,000 worth of property in the
city. The insurance companies get
$50 for the same property per annum
in many instances. -

PROMOTION WORK FOR MAUI


The Promotion committee is wisely turning
its attention to Maui and beginning an organ
lied effort to exploit the many charms of the
Valley Isle. There is only ONE. Kilauea, it is
true, but there is also only one Haleakala, and
the sorcery in the eyerlrnrning fires of the for

beauties of the latter. >-.~. 1851

the eighties; he brought with him a
rich Irish brogue and a magnificent
physique Weight l95 pounds, 5 feet
IL inches, comprised part. of the de-
scription entered opposite his name
when he was appointed an officer on

he had of looking you In the eye when

he told around the station stove-stor-

shee cry and the death-wail. Loved
him because to him the .tould" eoun-
try was ireland, and Ireland meant
home; and home was a little humble
cot, where white-haired woman stood
in the doorway at eve shading her eyes
with her hand, looking longingly down
a narrow road for her returning boy.
Conboy was by nature a peace
guardian; he never forgot face. At
q glance he would read what was be-
hind it like an open book. Quick and
impulsive, charitable to fault,-such
is the Conboy l shall ever remember.
His promotion was slow. First SER
geant, then lieutenant, and at last
the coveted position as captain of po-
lice.
And then the fatal day of the trag-
edy, when, at the end of drunken
carouse, he slipped, falling to the
floor; a friendly hand reached to as
sist him to arise Crazed by drink, he
fired the shot which ended life, and
for which crime he is serving seven
years in a California state prison.
