Editor Star-Bullet!n:
Sir: After reading what our Demo,
cratic friend talways a Democrat
born one) Judge Wilder has to ssg
about that Republican public utilities
act, and the way the then Republic
car" governor slipped one over on the
legislature in the appointment of the
-members thereof several months be-
fore the act took effect, and in view
of the further fact that no effort has
been made by the late governor, or
the judge himself "and I have been
in Washington myself lately'1 to have
the act approved by Congress, and in
further view of the statement of the
judge that it (the actl Isl not of much
good anyway, (only for Investigation,
publicity and recommendations would
it not be a wise act on the part of
the governor to make no appointment
of d chairman lat a salary of $4,000
per year, but just let the thing die?
What good to the public will its con-
tinuance be, any way About as
much will be accomplished In the
course of another year as was accomp-
lished by the late civil service board,
and will give a Lincoln cent to the
man that can point out any good they
did.
VIII somebody call the attention OF
our governor to this? Then there is
no more of the appropriation left to
pay its expenses another good reason
for disseminating it. Then we need
the money anyway for other purposes,
of far greater Importance 10 the com.

peared at the meeting with practical y
a new set. The changes which he
proposed. however. met largely with

Mr.. Davies. first suggestion was to
the name Of the proposed or
ganization as set down in the bylaws.
After much discussion on this point.
1t was voted to retain the name Great
er Honolulu Chamber CT Commerce.
This defeat, however, failed to damp
en- Mr.. Davies ardor for, as each sec
ten was read. he came uD with
changes and suggestions. dealing prin-
cipallv with the wording of the laws
as laid down by the committee
Discussion was had on five articles
and the sections thereof In section
2 of article 1. relating to the object
of the association. it was agreed that

ferences' between its members, but
not "ad'u controversies In sec
ton 2 referring to those persons who
shall be eligible for membership. the
phrase ANY male person doing bust
ness or owning property in the terri
tory" was changed to read ANY male
person engaged in business or owning
prnnerty in the territory"
There are many persons in the ter
ritory who are ENGAGED in business.
but who aren't doing any business"
qunth enc of the members.
There were some changes made re-
garding the procedure to be gene.

This is fair question very frequently put

Both statements made by our correspondent
are true.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee is doing
"a ssimmense amount of advertising.
It is also very patent that Hawaii is not suf

Where Hawaii is now spending tens of dol.

great profit to all Hawaii spend hundreds OF
dollars. '.....

PRACTICAL CHARITIES

While the unemployed situation in this

to threaten to get beyond control, it is bad

taking their places.
Il does not seem that in this deplorable sit.

Hawaii's climate helps some. We are thankful
thatshe there are no sudden drops in the Their.

create additional suffering that the Associated
Charities would be called on to alleviate So far,
the Associated Charities has done remarkably

ever suspects in putting families in the way of

comfort and priYation. 3,
It is always timely to help worthy charities,
and the majority give in money. which the busy
man seems to think is the easiest and quickest
way out of the situation. Perhaps the best ends
can be accomplished by an offer Of work to the
jobless man. After all, it is work that the wage
earners of the destitute and near-destitute fam.
lilies need most, and in this respect the Associat
ed Charities is straining every nerve to make

It has always resulted far better to offer q
man an opportunity to earn money. Most Of the
people Of this city who are in need Of help would
Infinitely prefer to toll for dollar or so than
to accept the same amount without giving any
thing in return, and this is much preferred by
tlle helping citizen.
So, at the present moment it is incumbent
upon every Honolulan in comfortable circum.

done, and report the opportunity to the Assoc

upon whom perhaps the sustenance of family
of little ones depends, can have "a chance TO earn

CaIOmeI may
Hurt Your Liver

Every time you take this
powerful drug you are in danger.
Take Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead. Calomel is made from
mercury, and while mercury has
many valuable uses, it is a dang
erous thing to swallow. If cal
omel stays in the system very
long it salavates. Even when
it works naturally, its after eff
fects are often bad.
Bearden & King will sell you
Dodson's Liver Tone, which is
positively guaranteed to take the
place of calomel. Liver Tone
stimulates the liver just enough
to start it working, and does
not make ysu sicker than ever
as calomeI does. You feel
good after taking Dodson's
and it won't force you to stop
eating or working after taking
it. 1t is as beneficial for child
ren as for adults.
Try a large bottle for fifty
cents under the guarantee that
your money will be given back
cheerfully if you're not
satisfied. adv.

Mrs. OpheIia Greene

Aberdeenians were deeply
grieved and inexpressibly dis
tressed by the death of of Mrs.
"Phe" Greene at her residence
on Wednesday night after a long
and patiently endured illness.
She was one of the best and
sweetest of women; a minister
ing angel to the needy, a COM
forter to the heavy laden and
distressed, though no woman
ever carried a heavier load of
earth's sorrows upon her own
weary shoulders, a counsellor
and advisor who absolutely ignor-
ed self in considering the affairs
of confding friends, and one
whose cheerful greeting masked
the griefs she would not impose
upon others, and for which her
proud spirit disdained to ask
tribute of sympathy. We knew
her first as Miss "Phe" Walton,
daughter of the lamented j. N.
Walton, a pioneer who died pos
sessed of more Indian lore ana
incidents relating to the tribes
occupying this region than a !
others combined. Welded to
our beloved citizen DR.. J. M.
Greene, her married life was one
lorg honey moon until her four
sons and devoted daughter had
attained maturity, and then en-
vious death invaded her erst
happy home; Dan and Jim, two
noble specimens of manhood,
were called hence and as though
there were no other field for in
vasion, there came the demand
for the third, the peerless grand,
talented. skilled surgeon of
world renown, DR.. Walton
Greene. That was enough to
crush the tender heart of any
mother and probably crushed
hers who knows? God in His
mercy spared for a time her
noble consort, but a few short
ago he laid His burden
down and those who loved her
find consolation in the belief
that death for once was not un-
kind when it bid her join her
husband and three noble sons. |
