Asylum, because that institution is filled to its
capacity. Patients sleeping the floor Chica-
COS insane are being to down-state hospitals.
And insanity is increasing in Chicago at the rate of
S per cent year.
The official table showing admissions to the Cook
County Detention Hospital reveals the fact that in
1908 there 1896 patients admitted In 1912 the
number 1889, increase of almost IS per cent
in the five years. almost double the percentage of in
crease in population Chicago increased in population
about per year during this period that insanity
increased at the rate of per cent
Henry M. Hyde, in the Chicago Tribune dis
cussing this alarming situation, says:
But the increase in the percentage of insane
pie in Chicago is not the only nor the most important
fact developed by study of the records of the De
tention hospital.
According the federal OF 1910 there
that time in Chicago 100000 people who
born in the United States the remainder of the
population-7SI,2I7- born in foreign countries
The proportions IS cent foreign born and o5
per cent native born
When it o the percentage of insane
in these two great classes of the population the
portions almost reversed. There admitted
the detention hospital in only o66 patients
who were born in the United States, as opposed to
1900 patients who born in foreign countries
From the immigrant class So per cent of the
of insanity; from the native born--numberng
625,ooo peope-came only AZ per
Mr.. Hyde offers an explanation for the pre-
ponderance of insanity among the oregn-bon popula
ton in the fact that they to large extent have
from peaceful rural communities in their native land
to this noisy hustng city and the change proves too
much for their Imagine" he says "a
born and brought up the farm-he farm
which his ancestors have lived for years From
cottage in the midst of peaceful, quiet countryside,
he is suddenly plunged down into the center of
whirlpool of noise confusion and excitement. Great
skyscrapers tower his head elevated trains rush
and rattle above him; the streets full of trolley
cars automobiles, and trucks, all running at high
speed the sidewalks thronged with people rushing
back and forth like possessed. To him the city
is unmagined monster"
Mr.. Hyde's explanation, doubt locates one
contributing factor in the case but not the big factor
Let anyone visit Judge Owens court and listen to
half days grind of insanity That will soon
discover that John Barleycorn has thrown more minds
out of gear than any other single agency the job

City Must Not Be Blind.
After all the painful experiences of
cities on the mainland and the cost
that some of them have had to under
go in order to extricate themselves
from the control of street railway
companies, and in view of all that has
been written on the subject and is
now generally accepted as correct
doctrine. it would seem beyond belief
that the city of Honolulu could blindly
place itself where SO many cities else
where placed themselves years ago
when street railways were new
thing and the necessary lessons had
not been learned.
sAnother reason why the Legisla-
ture may well be expected to pursue
modern rather than antiquated views
on this subject is that congress last
year incorporated such modern views,
in paragraphs drafted by me, into the
act for the Hilo street railway fran
chise, which was enacted at the last
session of our Legislature. 1t did
that, moreover, in the case of rail
way that was about to be started and
that had before 1t the usual early
years of development and small
earnings and that was to operate in
a town that was very small for the
support of an electric street railway.
How much more should the rights of
the public be guarded in the case Of
a company which has already largely
passed its period of development and
small earnings, and which is apply
ing for long extension of it's fran
chise before its present franchise is
half gone? Can congress be expected
to do less in this case than in the

Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-03-13

! the important matter of, transporta-
ton facilities for long period for a
mess of pottage. The company nat
urally would try to do the best 1t could
for itself and perhaps did not realize
fully all that the bill might mean to
the city, and doubtless those who were
pushing the, matter and who are
among our most public-spirited citi-
zens felt that whatever powers might
be given to them would not. be abused
by them. On the other hand, the leg
Iislature could not have realized all
that the bill meant, or it would not
have passed IL, and that is not sur
prising because the bill looked COM
iparatively innocent on it's face and its
full meaning could not be appreciated
without careful analysis not only of
that bill but of the original act which
granted the franchise.
There is scarcely any subject of
greater Importance to the future
growth and Welfare of the city or for
the convenience of its people than that
Of good and ample transportation fa-
cilities throughout the city by means
of street railways. Hence legislation
upon this subject should be approach
ed with the greatest care.
Public Must Stand for Right.
1T Is immaterial that the company
has thus far given good public service
and that those in control of ii are high
minded men. That may be reason
why the public should not exercise its
whip-hand, but it is not a reason why
1t should surrender its whip-hand or,
in SO far as 1t has surrendered it,
should extend the surrender for sew
eral additional decades. So long as
the company does its duty, it should
be given every reasonable considera-
tion by the public and be treated well
by il. But no sensible community
would knowingly place itself irrevo-
cably for a long period within the
power of a despot, however beneficent
or benevolent that despot might be for
the time being. The desire for gain
Is apt sooner or later to dull the
sense of duty to serve. Experience
shows that all too often the owners of
public utilities, however well-inten-
toned they may be, are prone to look
upon their business in too large a de-
gree as of private nature. Nor can
the public know how soon such a pub
lie utility may pass into other hands
through gradual changes in the stock
holders or by sale perhaps to main
land or European company, whose in
terest would be in the dividends rather
than in the public service, as in the
case of the former London-controlled
tramway company. The present COM
pany, indeed, has already shown a
disposition to assert itself for it's own
interests as against the public inter-
ests whenever it thought it had a
chance, as in the time-schedule, trans
fer and paving cases: The only, safe

ADVERTISING
fcontInued on Page ~

Lack Of advertising campaigns for
home products is what strikes the Wis
itor in Hawaii as distinctive of local
advertising activities.
Such Is the comment made by Mr.
T. w. Harris and w. w. Linn of the
American Tobacco Company, wht
gave talks at the noon meeting of the
Honolulu Ad Club today.
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Linn are visit
ing the islands on business for their
company, which features the Bull Dur
ham tobacco. Mr.. Harris was the first
speaker and stated that Honolulu re
minded him of San Francisco, il is sc
different in the matter OF outdoor ad
vertising. San Francisco overdoes il
in some instances and Honolulu un-
derdoes 1t. In studying the local sit
Gation, Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Linn were
occupied in making up Their m:nds on
what will give the Creates; pulling
power with the Oriental consumers
who do not read English signs and
must consequently be reached in some
other way. He believes there should
be more advertising that Will reach
the tourist The American Tobacco
company advertises in every way
known to the advertising business
hut holds the record for the amount OF
outdoor advertising space used by any
1ealer in any product. The amount
of money expended in advertising
runs into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars each year.
Mr.. Linn called attention to the
need for a distinctive trace mark in
advertising He, too. has been i'm
pressed with the unfortunate lack Of
advertising of local products
Mr.. Linn in this connection spoke
of Pinectar, which he has round to
be q most delicious beverage with
great possibilities. but which he found
very little advertised. He naG never
heard OF it while on the mainland. He
mad no doubt that there were other
Hawaiian products Of grea: intrinsic
worth that could be developed with
proper, live advertising. A very
graphic description of the methods for
prospective consumers
was given by Mr. Linn. whose com
pany makes use of every medium for
telling the people of the virtue of its
product, and then, with a trace mark,
constantly reminding them.
Today's session of the Ad Club was
well attended and the talks were full
of interesting and instructive ma
terial. -.= s.. 20. -.

tion advertising asked for further
time to develop its WORK anc will be

that my action, without statement of

HOUSE RATES
TOCOME down

"Of one thing you may be assured
the rates on dwellings will be CON
s-erably reduced" :
This was the decision made by a
member of the executive committee
of the board of fire underwriters this
afternoon. ... -.
For some weeks a subcommittee oil
working on a revision of the sched
ule of insurance rates. Meetings are
being held this afternoon of both the
subcommittee and the executive,
when possibly the revised schedule
will be adopted.
Unless the new rates are given to
the public for an expression of opin'
ion thereon in the meantime, the re-
suit of the subcommittee labors
may be held a secret until the
quarterly meeting of the board on

From the statement quoted above,
it does not look as if there was going
to be a marked reduction of insur-
ance rates in the business sections.
