CHOOSING A SITE Tor TIVE KINGS DAUGHTERS
H8Mt9 u

Honolulu is showing characteristic interest
in the cOnftructnn "f the Kings Daughters
home for aged people, and a he friendly debate
over the site for the home has 81 rvCl TO empha-
size the really beautiful spirit of Kindness and
charity with which the people Of this city regard
the institution The fact that there is such wide
spread and friendly interest, and that to u large
extent the home is supported bypuhIc subscrip-
ton, makes the location Of the new building a
legitimate subject OF general discussion.
1t seems quite plain that the arguments for
the Thomas square site outweigh those for the
Kainluki site DIR. Defemls .Scrddsr this morn
ing makes out good Gaze for the former loea-
ton and his points are sound and are agreed
With by a large number of those who have given
the matter thought. .-~t---~ &c.,. .r...s...
If the home is to exercise the largest possible
measure of kindly beEefipnce it must be home
where the old people are NOT cut eff from their
friends and relatives, ard where The imp nding
loneliness Of declining years will be einpha-
sized The Thomas square location will give the
necessary peace and quiet without unnecessary
scclusion 7
It will be possible fer friends Of the inmates
to make frequent visits to them twill be pos
kibie for some of those whose latter years are
spent here sometimes to visit their friends near
By The site has the advantages of easy, quick
access to a number of churches, one of which is
very short distance away.
Kaimuki is comparatively remote from the
lcst Of the city too remote for a home for the
oged III this home is to mean anything, it Is to
mean home cheered by. friends, warmed by
Light and life Those who have spent their
1onnger days in activity, who have been part of
the busy world OF men and events, need the touch
81 this busy world to keep from them the great
loneliness Of latter years when their toil.worn
hands must be idle. And when, in Steyenson's
admirable phrase, they are Sitting in the bow
Window of life" they will still wish to see the
pageant OF living pass near enough SO that they
can feel its stimulus.

MORE CITY LIGHTS NEEDED.

Editor Honolulu Star-Rulletin.
Sir:-May ask why Emma Square,
Thomas Square and Aala park are left
in almost total darkness, or with just
enough light to make the darkness
visible?
May ask why the band concerts
here. which might be made one of the
most brilliant and most interesting
resorts in Honolulu. should be left in
such darkness and gloom as to make
it impossible to see anything or any
body?
II this is done to save money, it is
false eccnomy and short-sighted pol
icy, because it spoils the effect of one
OF the best assets that we have.
1t is also a shame, because it makes
this city laughing-stock for tourists
who are used to up-to-date methods
and brilliantly lighted places of public
resort.
One would think if the Young and
the Moana Hotels can afford to light
up their places so brilliantly this city
could do something along the same
lines if only during the time the band
is playing.
1t is not only these places but there
are many more badly in need of more
light. Yours very truly,
RESIDENT.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-The letter in your issue of the
18th attacking mail-delivery men in
general and Americans in particular
annoyed me by it's unfairness. An at
tack of this sort should be made in the
open, giving day and date, route, etc,
so that the offending mailman could
be removed. 1t is not honorable to
make such a sweeping attack from
ambush. If you will permit space, ]

GOOD ADVICE ONrTHE CHARTER

In the course of a very interesting meeting of
the Civic Federation last night for the discus
sion Of short.ballot city charter, Judge A. s.,
Mahaulu of Waialua pointed out with vigor and
earnestness the necessity of putting before the
Electorate of this city and county an explanation
Of the principles of the proposed charter. =,
Judge Mahaulus advice was practical and to
the point, and he followed it with the suggestion
Of practical method for carrying it out He
urges that men who are familiar with the short
ballot or commission form of government explain
to the voters of every precinct in the city and
county Just what short.ballot government is and
what improvements in municipal administration
il ought to accomplish. Judge Mahaulu favors
CARRYING the question home to the Hawaiian
voters by speeches to them in every precinct
And when he says that unless the matter is TAX
en- up in this broad and thorough way, the sue
cess Of the entire plan will be endangered, he
does not exaggerate.
Judge Mahaulu speaks as a Hawaiian and it
is fair to assume that his point Of view is shared
by a large percentage of the electorate. Person
ally. he heartily favOrs the short-balot form of
government, but he says without mincing words
that many of the Hawaiians will resent any at
TEMPT to establish over them a kind of govern
ment of which they have little adequate under
standing.
Judge Mahaulu's suggestion of a systematic
ralnpaign of EDUCATION in every precinct is a
rood one. The ar-Bulletin would like to see
the committee of thirty-three now in charge of
the proposed charter evolve some plan for pre-
senting the principles of the shOrt-ballOt govern

Dear Sir: "Three-quarters paint"
is good phrase for the best outside
of Devoe.
DevOe is the standard; mark it 100.
The next-best-there are several not
far apart-are three-quarter paints;
you may mark them Is to Devoe's 100.
The bulk of the paints in market
are 40 or SO or 60; few are better
than so; few are worse than 49,
How do they act? They cover from
one to three-Quarters as much as De-
voc; and they last from one to three
quarters as long as Devoe.
What are they worth? The same
rule don't hold; 1t costs more to put
on some paints than they are worth;
they are not worth anything: the
"put-on" costs two or three times as
much as the paint. Yours truly
