GOOD SUGGESTION.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir In. re the -plans that are be-
ing proposed for. the success Of the
floral parade. many of which have
been brought to light through the
trip OF Director General Dougherty
TO the various cities of the mainland
for that special purpose. there is one
suggestion that he makes, that OF
building grandstands along the route
of march. and charging q very small
admission to the same on the day Of
the parade. stating that the first cost
of such stands will be fully covered
by receipts from the first parade. and
that the grand stands be constructed
in a knock-down form so that they
may be stored away until wanted fol
The next occasion.
This is a good suggestion, and
would be good piece of promotion
not only for the people who live here
but for the tourist as well, but 1t is
not a new suggestion by any means
This particular stunt has been pro
POSED and suggested on three sew.
eral times during the last two years,
publicly, through the daily papers.
do not want to .detract from the
good work that Mr., Hougherty has
done, but / do wish it known that we
do have an original idea here once
in q while. KAMAAINA.

RETREECHHEET MUST Be IMPARTIAL

A reduction in plantation wages has been
fcfeseen and predicted for. months by. the sugar
men Of Hawaii, and, as pointed out editorially
in the Star Bulletin many weeks ago, it is inev-
table under the present organization Of the in
dustry. The Star Bulletin learns from promi-
nent Japanese that the question has been dis
cossed fol. some time among the Japanese labor
efs and that SO far they appear to be willing to
6ccept a reduction, realizing the gravity of the
.ituation.
But it isnot only in the wages of the ordinary
Iaborers that a reduction will be necessary.
There must be something like a horizontal cut
IN along the line The entire nddstrgs so far as
overhead charges are Honcerned, must be made
tie subject Of determined and intelligent re-
|renchment. Labor should not bear the whole
Iurden and labor will mon he willing TO accept
d reduction unless the salaries are reduced at
'tost in proportion tosthe slashsin wages

example to all organizations Of like nature in
Hawaii and elsewhere throughout the country.
Well-written and edited copy is received To-
eally in each mail. Sporting events are covered
separately and addressed to the sporting editor
and each feature that is taken up is handled in
a mastery manner, and one fitted for Immediate
newspaper use.
Without making any dispaFaging compari-
sons it might be well for our local organizations,
whose main desire is publicity, to get in touch
with the chairman Of che Portola festival com
mittee. No harm could come from correspond.
ence with this "liye wire. and much might be
learned that would prove beneficial in future
publicity campaigns.
Furthermore, the work of this committee
plainly demonstrates the necessity of Hawaii
having a high-class man in charge of the San
Francisco office of the Promotion Committee.
He will find competition in the world of public
ity very keen and must needs be a man with ex-
ceptional ability along this line and also one
who can mingle with any and all classes of So
ciety, as the requirements of his office will be
the bringing to the islands eOf tourists of the
world. The tourist comes from every walk OF
life and the man whose efforts will spell success
is the man who can approach and entertain in
conversation the society matron and the laborer.

Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
generally knows just what he is about, and also
what congressional legislation is about, and 9
recent utterance of the Mississippian is well
worth attention.
Senator Williams predicts that all import
taxes will eventually be done away with and that
the income tax will supersede all other leyies ex
cept internal revenue This is getting on the
free-trade basis with a vengeance, and the Will
SON Underwood bill will have to show unexpect
ed results to warrant such a move.
The Mississippi man thinks that the Demo
cratic party viii make it possible to remove all
duties ON imports. 1t is possible of course, but
it is not advisable if the Democratic party con
tinues to spend public moneys as it has done re,
Gently. Take the present extra session, for in,
stance. 1t is costing millions of dollars and its
work might have been done in one month instead
of five. The Democrats, after preaching for
years of Republican extravaganza, have opened
Hup d pork-barrcl beside which the Republican
barrel was a mere tub. The public building and
rivers and harbors bills have revealed the same
old LOO rolling system of appropriation.
Yes the Democratic party is dreaming some
wonderful dreams of freetrade, of removing the
tariff wall, etc. But it is doing nothing very
wonderful in the way of cutting down expenses
and until it cuts expenses the cutting OF reve-
nues is not per Sc "a proof of craftsmanship

FLAGS FOR 5000 SCHOOLS
VIII Be Distributed to Commemorate
States l5oth Anniversary June 20.

Several years. ago the legislature
adopted design for West Virginia
state flag but on account of It's diff
cult color scheme it was not possible
to have, the flags made at reasonable
prices. Secretary of State Reed has
at last succeeded in solving the prob
lem and under his direction beau
tiful flag has been evolved, having all
the emblems and coIors originally des-
ignated but arranged SO as to make
the lithographing and color printing
possible at a minimum cost Eight
thousand of these state flags will be
delivered about June first and distrib-
uted among the eight thousand schools
in the state. Up'to this time very few
people have even seen the state nag
or have any well defined idea as to
what it is like. 1t was therefore q
most happy conception OF the Semi
Centennial Commission to place one
in evesE school house In West Vir-
ginia.
