BILE" It is In this light that one notes
with especial pleasure the remarks OF
James Ford Rhodes about the pre-
eminent advantages of America in her
historical repositories. Even foreign
detractors. he told the American Anti
quarian Society, must admire "the easy
and methodical arrangement of our his

our libraries. and the various helps"
connected with them; particularly since
their own scholars still had Ito pore
over books without indexes, and delve
among manuscripts in dusty archives

has long been manifested In America.
Every state and nearly every large city
has its historical library; colleges and
universities are jealous of their collec-
tons; the veriest hamlets. in our older
localities. have their historical and
genealogical societies; and private ac-
cumulations are innumera ble-all free

A CASE FOR SYMPATHY.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir: If people who are aissatis-
fled with life, and there are good
many of this class, would visit the
sick, the hospitals, prisons, or the
tenements places where suffering
and misery are to be found-they,
perhaps would better realize the
many blessings that they enjoy.
For instance, there have been many
bright young lives lost through neg.
lect. not to mention old ones. and not
few of them having taken place in
places where one would expect better
treatment and which, il little time
~ aid had been given, would in all
probability be alive and happy today.
But the saddest cases are often
those that live and suffer without
one single ray of hope.
There are instances where men
have, in a moment, lost their sight,
their hands, or feet. or the use of
their limbs, and where the suffering
has been intense and the case al
most hopeless There was one very
sad accident here in which a man
lost both feet and endured dreadful
suffering, both mental and physical,
which was dreadful to behold.
There is another very sad case at

FOLLOW II UP

Home Buying'' is already popular slogan
IN Honolulu
A Home Buying campaign, as proved by
last nights meeting, cnlists the instant interest
and appreciation of the consumers in Honolulu,
aad it is needless to say that the producers and
the sellers are vitality interested in it.
But the campaign will be of comparatively
little value if it is confined to massmeetings and
speeches To gain the effectiveness it deserves,
the idea must be placed before the people not
once but hundred times, not at one meeting
but daily, weekly, monthly, through the year.
It will be a winning CAMPAIGN in proportion
as it is systematized and reduced to concrete
plan for reaching every buyer with the advan-
tages.of spending his or her. money at home
campaign such as this certainly should
command the support of every member of the
Merchants Association, Of the Honolulu Ad
Club, Of every commercial organization in the
city. = = =
