THE CLAfLIN FAILURE

The comment of Henry CleWS. the New York
banker, upon the Clafn business failure indi-
Gates that the concern was not in a sufficiently
strong financial condition to stand the business
depression. Mr.. Clews comments:
"The shock of the Clatiin disaster was we'll re-
sisted by the stock market and caused much less
disturbance in the financial district than might
have been expected from so serious Il collapse.
What the Clatiin failure will mean to the dry
goods trade cannot yet be predicted Unavoida-
bly, it must cause much unsettlemPnt and pos
sibly some liquidation in the distributing
branches of the dry goods trade. The failure
was plainly attributed to over expansion and
business conditions. The III. b. Clatiin Company
was jobbing concern For some years past the
j0bbing trade of New York has been steadily
shrinking, owing to the tendency of the large re-
tailers to buy direct. The difficulties of the con-
Germ were also seriously aggravated by the shift
ing currents of trade in this great city, and cs
pecially by the business depression. 1t is to be
hoped that our well-intentOned legislators will
take a lesson from this failure, and realize that
there are limits to what business can bear from
sudden radical changes. Not a few of the new
laws and regulations are desirable and even
necessary, but they have come probably with too
much of rush Largely owing to that fact
their effect has been to impair initiative and
weaken confidence; thus preciptating incidents.
such as the Clafin disaster which might ether
wise have been averted."

ALWAYS A COCO EXCUSE

There's always a good excuse when some
speeding auto Mains or kills a pedestrian,
smashes into another car or runs amuck with Il
load Of passengers.
Somehow the driver always seems to be 90
ing at moderate speed He has never been
drinking He Indignantly denies any suspicion
of ioy-riding He resents the imputation that
he was careless.
Somehow he always happens to be just with
in the speed-limits He has always sounded his
horn repeatedly He has taken all the prccau-
tions that care and skill can suggest
Somehow the driver is never to blame.
Either it's ''the other fellow" or it's the bad
state of the road, On the pedestrian was care
less, or the night was dark, or the driver was
blinded by grooming lights, or something else.
Yet the accidents continue to happen-fright-
ful accidents, fatal accidents, needless acct
dents II.
Is Honolulu going to tolerate forever these
manifold excuses that get auto-drivers and own
rs free of all responsibility for death, for vio-
lence, for destruction of property?
What is needed is real campaign against
the speeders who are constantly SCATTERING the
speed-limits and the law in Honolulu. The
speed-fend is not confined to the chauffeur
class alone There are many Of them driving
their own cars to and from downtown Offices
and downtown businesses.
Arrest them all. Try them all. Punish
everyone that is proved guilty. Take away a
few licenses. Give few Jail sentences
And there will be less of these frightful acci-
dents that always have a good excuse

A REPUBLICAN VIEWPOINT

Colonel Roesevelt's phrase government by
c0nyulsions," is no more striking as descrip-
ton of what is happening to the nation today
than that coined by Senator William E. Borah
Of Idaho, in opening the Republican attack in
the senate on the federal trade commission bill
fathered by the Democratic administration.
s'You are putting business in straight
Jacket Borah told the Democrats.
Senator Borah's speech fairly illustrates the
general attitude of the Republican legislators /:
"You should define what shall constitute I'M
fair competition. The Sherman law bids bust.
ness to be competitive and lays down the rule
that competition is the life of trade This bill
provides that there shall be no unfair compete
tion. When We say competition is the life of
trade and is essential to the public and business
welfare, and on the other side we say that it
shall not be unfair, it is certainly due to the
business of the country that we lay down rules
for competition and say wat unfair competi-
ton shall be-
The senator said he agreed with the president
that the element of uncertainty in the business
world should be removed, but would not agree
that the passage of this bill with the unfair
competition underlined would accomplish that
end
Borah announced that he would favor a meas

ATTENTION NEEDED on PUNCHBUEL STREET

The attention of Honolulus new city and
county engineer is respectfully invited to the
condition of Punchbowl street from King street
to the entrance to the Queens Hospital
grounds.
The street is in a condition which makes it
not only uncomfortable and announcement for
all vehicle traffic, but absolutely dangerous to
hospital patients who are being taken over its
uneven surface. No hospital or police ambu-
lance can traverse this stretch of rough road
way without badly jolting its occupant. Holes
abound in the metaled surface--in fact, there
is scarcely a running yard that has not deep
hole into which the wheels of autos or wagons
drop with thud Most of the hospital pa
tients are carried over this street, and the hos
pital authorities keep their own roadway, i'm
mediately adjoining the city street, in a state
of smooth and beautiful repair. The street is
narrow, the curbng is all in and the upkeep of
the roadway viii be comparatively small.

TASK OF REsCUING LAD OVER.

MUCH FOR ONE MAN.

IN rescuing from certain death Ernie
Matuska, aged ~, the son of we'll

ing the rescue King risked his own
life.
The boy with others was playing
on an empty gasoline tank, the con-
tents of which had-been emptied into
permanent tanks beside the railroad
track, when he lost his balance and
fell to the bottom of the tank. The
gas fumes are believed to have caused
him to fall into the tank. Alarmed,
his boy companions summoned King
10 the scene. King promptly entered
the tank, but the gas affected him to
such an extent that he did not have
II strength to carry the unconscious
boy up the short ladder which reach
es from the bottom to the exit of such
tanks. Emerging, King recovered and
when another man tied a rope around
his body he again entered the tank,
This time succeeding in bringing the
boy to the exterior. A few minutes
