Observation-Disclosures

With their speeches greeted with
storms of applause, and with the fore
going resolutions unanimously adopt
ed by more than 1000 citizens of every
nationality who crowded the area in
front of the speakers stand, the men,
bers of the special citizens committee
appointed by the Palama Improve
ment Club, at a massmeeting held at
Aala Park last evening, presented to
the people of Honolulu their plans for
securing for the city a real municipal
charter, to be framed and ratified by
the people. -..,..... :. .- '
Following a fiery speech by Attor-
ney Lorrin Andrews, which was trans
lated into Hawaiian by Judge Ma
haulu, John C.. Lane called upon the
Hawaiian people present to abide by
the plans set forth by the members of
the committee whereby the people of
Honolulu should be given greater
yower in the making of laws fol, the
City of Honolulu. The resolutions
were then read, which were adopted
by the people present win a tempest
of "ays,'' calling upon the legislature
10 pass an enabling act permitting the
citizens to frame new charter and
giving the city the rights and proper
ties of a real municipal government.
AS called for in the resolution, Geo.
E. Carter then selected committee
of seven to present copies of the adopt
ed resolution to the governor, the SEN
ate and the house OF representatives,
and to secure the passage of the en-
abling act at the present session Of
the legislature. Mr.. Carter chose for
tie members of the committee: Mayor
Fern, D. Kalauokalani, ST., John G..
Lane, Colonel c.. J. Mccarthy, Ed
Iowse and Gabral Keawehaku. Mr..
Carter is also a member of this COM
mittee, as stated in the resolution.
Los Angeles Plan Suggested. ...*
The meeting was opened by George
f. Carter. who, in his opening re-
marks, urged the people of Honolulu
to pattern their plan of city govern
ment after that adopted by Los An
geles, which city, he said, has most
perfect form of municipal government.
This was secured, he said, by the fact
that the people of that city worked in
wilson. and he urged the people of
Honolulu to do likewise. He referred
to this city as Poor Old Honolulu"
and said that the meeting last even
ing would mark turning-point in the
government Of the City of Honolulu.
Under the present arrangements" he
said, Honolulu can get nothing with
out first having to apply to the legis-
lature for it. The present charter has
long been a milestone around the
necks of the people of Honolulu, and
If we must accomplish anything to
remedy these faults, we will have to
work in unison" Going in'o detail
concerning the present charter, he
told how, If Honolulu wanted any
thing in the way of new roads, new
schools, or any other improvements
that the burden of these needs. while
being borne by Honolulu and the
county of Honolulu, are also borne bv
the counties of Hawaii, Maui and 9TH

at an informal reception, their guests
to be the Parents Teachers Associa-
lions, the Primary and Senior Teach

The Importance of this proposed

It is the purpose Of this meeting

work that the Civic League and the
commercial body are trying to do. To

cheney Of civic work in Pensacola.
This is a move in the right direc-
ton There Is much value in organic

Pensacola Territory
The Sportsnaan's Paradise.

:. For years Pensacola has been a
great tourist town, and it's popularity
IS steadily increasing. Each winter
the tourdsts are arriving In greater
numbers and at an earlier date, and
Judging from the present indications,
this winter is to be the greatest tour
dst season that Pesnascoia has ever
known.
Pensacola appeals to the better class
Of tourists-neither those who come
south mainly for economic reasons. nor
the very rich class, which freQuents
the South Florida resorts. While
Pensacola is becoming known to this
later class of tourist and they are COM
ing in increasing numbers, and Pen
sacoIa gladly welcomes them and ex-
tends to them an invitation. the great
er number of northern visitors who
make Pensacola their winter home, are
tho cultivated class, who are able to
spend their winters in the south, away
from the severity OF the western bliz-
yard or the frozen east, and who bring
to Pensacola the better element Of the
north, west and east, and who. ind
ing the society Of Pensacola delightful
and the climate all to be desired, tell
their friends about 1t, inducing others
to come, and many to make their
homes here all the year around.
There are few resorts in the world, If
any, to equal Pensacola in attractions.
As a summer resort &c has proven un-
surpassed. That the people of PEN
sacola have more pleasure in the sum-
mer time than any other people in
the south, right at their doors, is ac-
ktrowIcdged. But Pesnacola Is also
unequalled as winter resort and com
bines with a fine winter climate the
most beautiful sheet of water on the
Florida coast, with the best fishing
and hunting obtadnable anywhere.
1t would not be possible to ind a
: water route more picturesque than
that around and near Pensacola. The
proximity of the Gulf and the Narrows
with the fishing afforded. and the
bayous, with duck shooting and hunt
ing grounds adjacent, make Pensacola
territory a sportznan's paradise.
AS Pensacola grows, It's winter tray
Ell increases, and to these tourists is
always extended a warm welcome, but
it is not as generally known as it
should be that Pensacola is situated in
one OF the greatest hunting and fishing
sections in the United States, barring
none.
Every Pensacolian interested in the
citys advancement should let the
world know this. Send a postal to
your friends, write letter or mail
a. copy of The Sunday journal, telling
them about Pensacola as winter re-
sort.
Pensacola il proud OF the appeal 1t
makes to the cultured class of tour
lists who make it their winter home
each year. And It hopes to increase
this number. 1t wants to be known,
as it should be. as the Sportmnan's
Paradise. and as the resort OF that
leisure class who now make their win
ter visits elsewhere not knowing as
they should of the possibilities for re-
creation and diversion in our Gulf
city.

The Railroad Pass Is
Being Generally Abolished.

The policy of albolishing the free
Q pass evil is steadily being extended
!. over every part OF the United States.
& The last instance of the application
-of the anti-pass sentiment is found in
New Jersey where quite a number of
state employees who were originally
riding on railroad passes now have to
pay their way, Just like the ordinary
man pays his way.
= Up in Tennessee also the agitation
is becoming general and the next Ses-
sion of the legislature will probably
abolish the free pass entirely.
The Pensacola Journal has for years
swaged a war on the railroad pass evil.
"A few years ago anyone who occu-
pied position OF prominence either
in public or in private life could Sc
cure q railroad pass, county officials
state officials. members Of the legisla-
ture, justices OF the peace, ward heel
ers. lawyers. newspaper men-every-
> body in fact whom the railroad cor
porations thought they could use
could get a pass.
Gradually, however, the pass evil has
been curbed. The Journal not only
stood out for the prohibition of passes
60 everyone, but it led the fight which
resulted in a.bolishing the newspaper
pass Today the only persons who
can legally ride on railroad passes are
railroad employees and sheriffs in the
state OF Florida With the next ses-
zion OF the legislature we trust that
the sheriff's passes may be abolished
