RECORD YEAR
FOR JORDANS

A handsomer front in display OF
goods is not seen this year than that
Of f. w. Jordan & Co, Fort Street,
and there is just as fine display in
behind. For a metropolitan aspect
this dry goods emporium is not sur
passed in Honolulu.
business the whole year has been
satisfactory" said George B. Curtis.
manager OF Jordan's this morning.
We are on par each day so far
with last year for the month And if
We have as big business this month
as We had in December. 1911, We will
be satisfied. That was the biggest
month We ever had in our business
Business in general this year has been
the most prosperous we have ever
had. Before November was over our
figures were ahead of the whole year
1911. d -,.. t. :....--
THE summer trade this year has
been particularly good-exceptionaI in
fact. | am glad to know that this is
the same story that is being told by
oil firms that are alive in looking
after trade. We are carrying more
merchandise than we ever did before,
and are pleased with the results. The
only trouble is We are crowded for
room. A whole lot of holiday goods
billed to arrive the first of November
was not received until last week, but
don't believe there will be much left
over on account of late delivery. Our
ready-to-wear and millinery business
is double what 1t was a year ago."

Y. M. C. A. GIVES LAUNCH.
PARTY TO NAVY STATION

The Y. NJ. c. A. is going to pull off
another launch trip to Pearl Harbor
and the dry dock next Thursday. This
time 40 Mckinley High School and
Central Grammar School boys are 60
ing to make the trip. =. g. r. .... =.
The boys will first go to the dry
dock to watch the submarine carpen,
tiers do their deep water stunts. Last
week the boys were specially interest,
ed in this part OF the trip. One deep
sea diver took hammer down with
him, the other a saw. When they
came up the boys asked them how
they spit on their hands when they
were working, if they put oil on the
saw, and adozen other questions, that
were of interest to these future en-
gineers and contractors. At the dry
dock they will be the guest of "Dry
dock" Smith, who is an expert at
answering small boy questions.
The boys bring their own lunches
and the Y. M. C. A. furnishes d tub
of soda pop. INV

A PARTIAL VICTORY.

The Supreme Court agrees with the
court below in holding that the gov
eminent failed to produce proof that a
general combination or conspiracy ex-
lists among the anthracite coal roads.
Yet no one would seriously maintain
that competition exists in this Indus
try. All that trusts have sought TO &C
complish elsewhere appears 10 be ac-
complished here without a trust, or at
least without one whose existence the
government can prove. There is all
the apparent unity Of policy that would
follow from a combination. No doubt
/ the full benefits of cooperation are
realized the public has felt them re-
Gently. And yet the law has not been
violated, or at any rate it has not been
violated in a way susceptible Of proof.
Managers OF other industries who
feel the necessity Of getting together
viii long to possess the secret Of the
anthracite industry. Open combination
taking the form of q corporation, or eN-
pressing itself I'm written contracts, or
consisting Of stock ownership. is out OF
ithe question. These devices are too
readily proved; or, indeed, they require
no proof. With regard to them it is
possible only TO deny that they are in
restraint of trade. and that denial is
turning out TO be impracticable, with
the Supreme Court viewing the circum-
stances lin the light of reason" There
remains only the possibility Of Guilt
waiting a state of mind in an industry,
impalDable to government investigators,
battling ordinary legal processes. but
nevertheless accomplishing somehow all
the results that unified control would
achieve. Those who believe that though
the government failed to prove it there
is none the less a coal trust will
search diligently for the secret Of what
has happened in the anthracite indus
. try.
But the public was not defeated all
along the line The pronOuncing Of the
"65 per cent contracts illegal will help
to free il from future eXactiOns. BY
these contracts the coal roads control
the coal mined by independents, and in
a few years have been able to increase
their own monopoly from the control Of
30 to 20 per cent Of the anthracite
mined TO the control Of % TO 100 per
cent Of it. The freeing Of the indie
pendent operators will no doubt he com
pleted when the Interstate Commerce
Commission makes its investigation into
anthracite freight rates and reduces
them. That investigation, which was
ordered as q result Of The Tribune's
exposure Of the way the coal interests
made last springs strike an excuse for
an excessive increase in coal prices,
will begin shortly. Real hope Of relief
FOR the public now lies only in that di-

The dimensions Of the menace should
be apparent from reference To the hs-
ures Of our foreign trade and Russia :.
In 1910. a fair average year OF the
last decade, our exports to Russla' III
both Europe and Asia. were SlI,I3o'-
Al In the same year our total eX-
ports were S1,744, 9S4, 720. Russia pur-
chased. therefore, the merest fraction
more than l per cent OF our foreign
sales. She purchased less than Spain
little more than Denmark, much less
than Japan or Brazil or Australia,
little more than half as much as Cen
trail American states, aud little more
than one-third az much as Italy. The
total loss OF that patronage would,
perhaps. he felt by a few individuals
who are specially Interested in Rus
