MAKE THE TRIP TO, MAUI

Is Honolulu going to fall behind in its sup
port of the annual Civic Convention!
Two wears ago the first session of this con
vention, originated by the brainy men oftHilo
was held in Hilo and was rousing success
IT caneht the Imagination of the territory and
its practical results compelled attention and
encouragement.
Last year the convention came to Honolulu
and was another big success. Many OF the ter
ritory's leaders participated in the sessions.
There was spirited expression of opinion on
public questions and the end of it was devo-
ton to the progress of Hawaii that left its i'm
press for the succeeding year.
The third annual session will be held on
Maui, beginning late this week. The Valley
Islanders are making wide preparations for the
event. They are ready to receive the visitors
with their well-known hospitality. A splendid
program has been arranged.
Hawaii will be there with big delegation,
just as Hawaii came to Honolulu year ago
sixty or seventy strong-a fine marching sec
ton, filed to the brim with cheers and songs
and the spirit of doing something for this ter
ritory Kauai will be at Waikiki with a rep
ressntative delegation.
Honolulu cannot afford to lag behind in its
support of this fine movement.
So far Honolulans have not responded to the
call as they should respond if this city is to
send to Maui big and lively delegation.
Today Secretary Brown of the Chamber of
Commerce is going the rounds with sheaf of
tickets, IN order to determine definitely and
as early as possible how many are going from
,o8< hos I,<a,, N, 10
for the steamer trip, to Maui and return. Ar
engagements are being completed for the enter
tainment Of the VISITORS BIZ the Maui folk
The steamer will leave at 10 o'clock on Fri
day night and return at 5 o'clock Tuesday
morning. Businessmen need spare only day
and half from their Offices Saturday being
a half holiday anyway. xa
One day and half as a*personal evidence
Of support for the splendid Civic Convention is
little enough for Honolulans to give. In return
they will receive not only the benefits of pro-
gram conspicuous for its recreational features,
but new ideas of territorial welfare, the friend
to-friend glow Of hospitality, the 6 gettogether
1nd-talk-if-over' kind of a time.
Every year It comes home with increasing
force that Hawaii S many big problems can be
solved only by personal work, personal atten-
ton, personal participation in the public move
monts You can't turn your public response
bi|itits over TO the other fellow and expect to-
1e, concrete results in the form of more eco
Iouical and efficient government, better pub
&. Institutions, better roads, wider promotion
work.. for the development of citizenship in a
cosmopolitan population. You yourself must
|6 part Of it.
Ich from every part of Hawaii gather at
these civic conventions and discuss informally
Ne problems that face them. 1t is the personal
.||e1dsnce on the meetings that counts.
That is why Honolulu should send a big and
..Ieawake delegation of her citizens to Maui
this week
