BErTERING THE SERVICE TO TOURISTS

The Star Bulletin publishes another page
today a stenOgraphic report Of talk recently
given to the Honolulu Ad Club by F. &. Weber,
the Los Angeles man who brought party of
tourists to Hawaii This paper believes that
the Promotion Committee and the public at
large should know definitely and in detail just
what criticisms tourists have to make Of Ha-
wall That's the only way to better service and
to send away the visitors in the satisfied frame
of mind that makes them boosters for Hawaii.
''The satisfied tourist is the greatest adver-
tisement any country can have says Mr..
Weber That is particularly true of the tour
lists who come to Hawaii
The new Promotion Committee is wideawake
to the ed for paying more attention to the
tourist and the tourists needs after he gets to
Hawaii This is matter that the Star Bulletin
and the Advertiser have urged repeatedly for
several years past, but lack of funds has always
served as an explanation for the failure to take
up and remedy number of faults in local
tourist service.
As Mr. Weber emphasizes, Hawaii "has the
goods the goods in climate, scenery and in
people who are hospitable, courteous and
anxious to give the visitor a pleasurable stay
here.
Tourist service needs thorough organization,
the elimination of petty discomforts, of small
overcharges, of haphazard arrangements. The
average tourist wants to see as much of Hawaii
as possible with as little physical discomfort as
possible. 1t is the exceptional man or the ex-
ceptional woman who likes to trough it"
The meeting of the Promotion Committee
Yesterday afternoon, with its discussion of
nlaus for n hotel on Tantalus an amusement
pier at Waikiki and better accommodations for
those who take the wonderful trip to Halea
kala, shows that the committee is going after
service in an energetic way
It's up to Hawaii to stand by the Promotion
Committee-with good suggestions, with moral
support, with financial support.

THERE'S A REASON"

Governor Pinkham's refusal to surrender his
Office to the feed-trough ambitions of little
bunch of Democrats-for- jobs-only brings upon
him the condemnation of the Democratic terri.
torial platform.
OF course that platforms does not represent
the sentiment of the Democrats of this terri
tory 1t represents the spite, the disappoint-
ment and the attempted vengeance of clique.
The Star Bulletin showed yesterday that the
nominal Trainers of the platform we're but six
teen men, and the actual trainers an even less
number.
The anti-Pinkham plank was dictated not by
the Democrats of Hawaii, but by the job
rhasers of Pauahi street
1t was animated not by the reputable mem
bers of the party who favor square deal but
by the element that would rule the governors
Office or ruin the governors administration.
1t was inspired not by any thought of JUS
tice, nor any desire for territorial progress,
nor any wish for cooperation. 1t was inspired
by malice, fear and greed.
There may be among these antiPinkham
sh0uters few men who believe sincerely that
the territorial government should be surren-
dered instanter to the Democratic "organza-
ton as the legitimate spols of Office. But the
majority of the men who have struck at the gov
ernor through an alleged territorial platform
know better They are striking for purpose,
and that purpose is to discredit an adminstra-
ton that would not pander to their sordid de-
sires nor capitulate to their self-sceking ambi-
tions.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-In your editorial of July "a
you had the list of all the committee

Democratic platform. Now in justice

to have money-bags to make himself

IT RINGS TRUE

A citizen of Honolulu, joining the Chamber
of Commerce, writes as follows, in the letter
enclosing his dues:
81 do not know that can ever be of service
to the Chamber of Commerce but anything that
helps Honolulu helps me and whatever that is
] am for it"
That rings true, it rings clear.
"Anything that helps Honolulu helps me and
whatever that is am for it"

owner of an ofice-building, nor the director of

anything this paper has said TO mean
that a poor man is not just as good
as rich man, other things being
equal, he is entirely mistaken. The
men who are responsible for the
Democratic platform are In the ma
jority of cases just as well of in this
worlds goods as the men mentioned
above by the writer OF the letter.
The Star. Bulletin believes that poor
man is just as representative as a
rich man-generally more so. as there
is more OF him! --Editor.l

issue of the hour is not to secure men
who will contribute their salaries 10

men who will do the work for wIieh
they are selected and do it in an eff
ficient manner. An efficient mayor
and an efficient supervisor can save
many times his salary. W. don't

The past week was warmer than

ture ranged from one to four degrees.
The rainfall was, up to the time most
of the reports were mailed, consider
ably less than the normal, but the

day indicate that copious to heavy
showers were quite general Saturday
night. The conditions were favorable
for field work. The bulk of the corn
has been planted. and the late planted

fects OF warmer weather. The stand
is good, but cut and wire worms are
doing considerable damage in south
ern counties. The area planted APP,
pears to be fully up to and may prove
to be in excess of last years acreage.
Small grain is generally In good con-
dition, but was beginning to show the
effect OF lack of moisture in many 10.
calities, especially in southern dis
tricts. A few reports indicate that
the Hessian fly is still active in win.
ter wheat, and that some fields have
been plowed up on account of the
damage done by the fly. Hay, grass
and potatoes are doing well. but need
more rain. In some sections hay has
a tendency to head short, due to lack
of moisture. Tree fruits, except ap.
pies. give promise of good yields.
