the Hawaiian fish to Sydney safely
they will prove big attraction there,
Sydney has been without public
aquarium for many years now, so

by many, for Cogee is a popular sea-
side resort and is visited by thou
sands on Saturdays, Sundays and hol-
days
JOHN OROURKE--The is only
one place in the islands in which to
have racing; that's Honolulu. The
people are there and the money is
there. Money is being lost every day

is delayed. Just as soon as a new
track is assured | and Felix Brughelli

A. S. HUMPHREYS-The way III

appears to justify the recent state

graceful barroom fight" as thougl
the fight should have taken place in

residence next Tuesday evening.
JACK WEDAY-It does not seem
fair to my mind to release eight
stowaways from a foreign ship, es-
pecially when the men are not Ameri-
cans and are not seamen. I should
say that such men are without visible
means of support.
CHANG CHAN-It will be fifty

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

grew before he is a benefactOr of his
race, and if this true, how much more
praiseworthy must it be to give work
to a hundred pairs of hands where
only pair of them was used before.
This idea of starting factories of
various kinds is undoubtedly good
idea. 1t is also practical and not too
difficult of accomplishment, and at
the same time it would do a. world of
good and fill a long felt want. Better
than all it would give employment to
hundreds, if not thousands of needy
children, and put them in the way Of
earning an honest living.
would also say that 1 believe that
there are dozens of things that could
be manufactured here, if not at a
profit, at least without loss of money.
But while this is a good idea of
finding employment for the boys and
girls who are big enough to work, we
should not forget those little tots, so
many of whom are in a condition too
dreadful to contemplate, and whose
future must be despaired of unless
something is done for them. Unfor-
tunately there are so many of them
that neither the Castle nor the Sal
walton homes, nor any of the other
charitable institutions can take in or
care for them, and therefore some
other home must be provided for
them.

EMPLOYMENT FOR CHILDREN.

EMPLOYMENT FOR CHILDREN,
Editor Star: l am glad to find quite
a number of persons that are interest
ed in improving the condition of the
poor unfortunate children of this city,
many of whom are bereft of almost
everything that they need, and in
consequence their lives are most I'M
happy.
/ am also glad to find many per-
sons who are studying and evolving
plans to work out their ideas, and to
put them upon working or business
basis.
The most general idea, I find, is
that which has been advanced by Mr..
Richards and Mr. Cooper, which I'M
doubtedly would go far in solving this
difficult problem.
For | will say that l know of no
place in the world where employment
for children is harder to find, or
where factories and places of EN-,
ployment are more needed
AS an example of what can be done
in this direction / would mention Eng
land, where in many parts almost
every house and home is a factory
and where almost every member OF
the household is employed doing
something. In this way they learn
habits of industry, frugality and
sturdy independence.
