who compose this important body, l
am sure your valuable advice will be
adopted. l am glad to see you calling
attention to the various chambers of
commerce on the mainland being
alive to the importance of arbitration.
May / add that the businessmen of

men in trying to get rid of the world 8
barbarism in the destruction of life
and property and in spending thirty
eight billions yearly, of hard-earned
money, in playing bear and dog
among the nations! If our good
churches and the powerful-influenc-
ing press were abreast of the times,
as you are, in helping businessmen
throughout the world to educate peo-
pie to principle of peace, we would
soon dispense with the barbaric glory
of national plundering and spending
billions in keeping up the worlds saw

THE WHARF TROUBLE

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:-I am glad to see that an in
vestigation was made into the reports
of the Alakea wharf scandal
And ! notice that the brutal con-
duct" of the men in charge was not
sustained. and that no roughness was
noticed except by number Of men
trying to distribute dodgers and cards
who attempted to force themselves to
the front Iiue of spectators"
Now this is very good news, II it
were true, but the writer can prove
by bitter experience that it is not, as
the following will prove:
The writer was sitting on the rail
of the wharf gallery entirely out of
the way of everybody, when a wGll-
dressed, thin-faced man rushed up to
him and told him to get OF of that
and get out" - In.
Not getting of quick enough to suit
this man, he was pulled of with no
gentle means and showed and pushed
for about so feet towards the en-
trance. =
~ Now F@don't know If this can be
called brutal conduct" or not, and IL
not it comes so near 1t that there can
be but little difference.
At any rate, the writer thinks that
the man that treated him in this man
ner was brute, and worse. as the
writer is old enough to be his grand
father and in no condition to cope
with him. Yours truly,
- p OBSERVER.
