An ARTISTIC AND COMMERCIAL
SUCCESS.

The success of Honolulu's first window dis
play contest was assured from the moment the
merchants of the city began planning their
decorative effects Instantly their interest was
aroused; the spirit of competition came to the
front; their enterprise and inventive faculties
were whetted; and they began an unprecedent-
ed activity.
Forty-seven separate window displays are
today offered to the public Each is the worthy
result of hard work and plenty of it. Many
of the windows present extremely pretty pic
lures BUTT is not in the aesthetic as much
as in the commercial appeal of these displays
that the Success of the first contest is so marked.
The outstanding fact is that the merchants are
basing their displays primarily on the goods
they havs- to sch In the overwhelming ma
jority of cases the windows are thus true re-
lection Of the stocks Of goods in the stores.
What does this mean toafhe consulner, to the
patroni # means. That the stores. of Honolulu,
under the auspices Of the board of retaihtrades
Of the Chamber of Commerce, are taking adj
vantage of this special occasion to tell the pub
lie their store news They have found, as re-
tailers all over the country have found, that
successful advertising must exemplify this
fundamental principle Of reaching the public
With news of what their shops have to sell.
The appeal today is to the eye, to the utili..
tarian viewpoint, to the artistic perception, OF
the buying public. The story told pictorially.
BIT ii Is worth while to draw attention to the
fact that the advertising Of this special event
has been done in the newspapers. Newspaper
pnblicity has played strong part in creating
The interest on the part Of both store and pa
fron, in this display contest.
Commercially, the success of the contest was
assured the merchants even before they low
cred their curtains and revealed their displays.
Such interest has been aroused in the last few
days that increased trade was reported even
yesterday The Star Bulletin knows Of one
retailer whose display, as it was being ar
ranged, attracted the notice of an acquaintance,
and this acquaintance placed large order at
once the order being directly due to the pre-
paration for the window contest.
No retailer can get away from the proposition
that it isImoney in his pocket to display prop
erly and effectively the goods he has to sell,
and to tell the public, through the newspapers,
the story Of his days or weeks offering.

POLITICS AND OTHER POLITICS.

Two or three disgruntled property owners
are threatening political retaliation on the
supervisors who have determined upon equit-
able and general enforcement of the frontage
tax law. e.4M~
Let them retaliate. Their sort of politics is
fast passing in Honolulu. They are the relics
of an era when city officials who refused to
grant special favors were threatened with los
ing the road workers vote, y or the brewery
vote" or the poolas' vote. =
These elements in the voting population,
whose spokesman hired themselves out ais cam
paign runners to whichever side paid the most,
and who we're biennialy exploited for the bene-
fit of few astute district -heelers, are welding
less and less influence every year. Instead,
there is arising larger and larger body of In
dependent voters, who care little for party
names in local politics, and who care a great
deal for efficient government.
They have been bilked pretty often out of
their citizens right to efficient government,
their elected officials have often fallen far
short of prediction prospects, but this indie
pendent mass of voters, probably not far from
1000 in the last campaign. showed their
strength by voting out the old crowd, just as
tney Hdu NOteu OUT dnoIileI Olu cIoWu IWo years
before, and by giving new set of supervisors
chance to show what it could do.
Peanut politics is going into the discard in
Honolulu. The men who cannot see the signs
Of this are as blind as bats. Plausible prom
Uses are no longer sufficient for a candidates
stock in trade. The people are now looking
more and more at character and past records.

to stand or fall on its record of these two years
