THE PEDDLERs WE'RE PINCHED.
Range Men Find OsceOla People and
People Generally Over County
Are Hostile.

The gang of range peddlers who
recently canvassed Decatur county,
going from here to OsceOla, ran into
trouble at Osceola,. where they were
arrested on the charge of selling
goods without license, as will be
seen from the following article TAX
en- from the Osceola Democrat:
The range peddlers, who recently
came to Clarke county and who have
been making house to house visits
over the county, are up against
trouble. Last Monday morning three
of the men, namely, w. F. McGibben,
NJ. F. Brown and R. A. Temple, were
placed under arrest. The charge
against the men was that of selling
goods without first securing IL
cense. They were taken before
Squire Trent where preliminary
will be held next Saturday. 1t is
thought in the meantime Judge Max
we'll will be drawn into the case and
will tell just what pcddlers can do
and what business men in the var
ious cities of Iowa can expect. The
men have given bond in the sum of
$500 each The statement has been
made that man with team shall
pay license of $50 for the privilege
of selling goods in county. Wheth-
err this will be upheld remains to be
seen. While the case is dragging
along the peddlers are working away
and are selling ranges at a higher
price than they can be purchased
from the home merchant.
1t seems pity that a peddler can
come to community, go about the
county selling goods and not having
to pay any license or in any manner
contributing to the good of the coun-
ty. Such action will eventually cause
tax lodging from men who are honest
today. There is no question but that
a person has the privilege of purchas-
ing where they please and from
whom they please but it is only fair
that an investigation be made, and
that peddlers bear part of the tax
burden. The case here will be pushed
to the limit and will doubtless be one
which will be cited all over the
country by either the peddlers or the
municipalities which are bothered
with such deals.

AN ENDORSEMENT FOR SYSTEMATIC
ADVERTISING

Businessmen who have definite results to get
which depend on interesting the public can get
these results most quickly and economically by
advertising
That's what the Hawaiian Pineapple Pack
ers' Association has realized, and to get coun-
try-wide advertising it will spend in the next
few months $4,000 on a big publicity and adj
yertising campaign The islands packers have
biz crop to move and they have enlisted the
all-powerfnl aid 81 publicity TODD it.
The packers are taking the best business
conrse-best because it is the most effective
expenditure of money-zthat of letting the peo-
pie know, through reliable and authoritative
channels, what the businessman has to sell.
The proprietor Of shoe store or candy shop
or an auto sales agency or a tailoring house or
drygoods concern or real estate office or
anything else that depends on sales for pros
perity can get best results, quickest results,
cheapest results by advertising in the publicity
mediums which reach his patrons--and locally
that means the newspapers, chiefly. Nowadays
The concern which doesn't advertise is the one
that IS falling into rut which sooner or later
viii become gully and soon after that bot
ioinless pit
Advertising by the retailer is store news
and If handled as such is remarkably attractive
70 readers The Hawaiian pineapple packers
ID placing their stamp of approval on system
attic advertising show that any concern large
OF small which wants to get results by reach
ing the buying public should do it by paid pub
Lefty and intelligent advertising. The COM
munity made up of live advertisers has an I'M
breakable grip Of prosperity.

MAUI AND THE TOURIST.

Our board Of supervisors can hardly be
blamed for refusing to continue the monthly
donation of fifty dollars to the Hawaii Promo
ion Committee from Maui County. It is a
doubtful investment at best, which has never
Yielded any tangible or adequate returns as far
IS Maui is concerned.
As an altrpistic proposition it has its merits,
but in business sense it has proved worthless
70 Maui.
The charge has often been made, and we fear
hot mithout reason, that the Honolulu people
instead of encouraging tourists to visit Maui
have done their level best to discourage them
from making the trip in order to keep them in
Honolulu. claiming that we have nothing to
offer them and what there is to be seen Of
.cehic beauty is hard of access.
BE this as it may, the fact remains that Maui
tets on an average Of one tourist per month,
md fifty dollars per head is too big price to
pay. Maui Weekly Times

EDITOR
DR.. N. B. EMERSON.


A trne hearted and patriotic American eiti-
zen, a scholar, devoted expounder of Hawaii
an life, customs and traditions, fine character
has passed in the death of DIR. Nathaniel b.
Emerson
1t was fitting that for him a really great
achievement crowned life of unsparing faith
fulness and energy in whatever task, duty or
recreational research he might be engaged. He
had just finished a book upon Hawaiian myth
which is monumental in its painstaking exact
ness and in its scholarship type of scholar
ship peculiarly difficult to compass. ''Pele
and Hiiaka,' experimentation of much of the
legendry surrounding the famed volcanic
queen, is the result of seven years of labor-a
labor that for him was one of love. To this
work he gave an immense amount OF thought
full care His friends know the zeal with which
he sought out fragments whereve: obtainable,
by word of mouth from Hawaiians Of the elder
generation, from old records, manuscripts and
books, deduced from other writings where sug-
gestions caught bis ready attention.
With characteristic pains to produce nothing
but the best, he undertook to see his book
through the press and did SO from beginning
to end The volume was published by the
know with what assiduous care he corrected
proofs and made changes the better to salts
fy a nice discrimination in mechanical as
well as literary style and substance. The re-
suit, it has gratifed the Star Bulletin to know,
was one which pleased DIR. Emerson deeply.
This monumental work is of permanent value
to Hawaii. 1t is significant token of DIR.
Emerson IS character. Typically he paid his
tribute of appreciation to the Hawaiian people
who had helped him unselfshly through many
a maze Of labyrinthine Legendary.
He once said to a member of tile Star Bulle-
tin staff, discussing the correction of some
galley proofs of his book, "A misplaced comma
causes me Distress. The feeling was not irrii-
tation over the trivial, but anxiety lest in all
things his book might not measure up to his
ideal. Finding once that he had gone step
astray in the translation of minor story, he
delayed his book until he could make suitable
correction. Nothing but the right thing, the
right word, the right turn of phrase, the right
impression upon his waiting audience, would
satisfy him.. So his book, besides being a
monument to research in Hawaii's dim past
is monument in literary expression.
His services to the Union during the Civil
War; his work as a Christian man, private
physician, public health official, valued
member of historical and sociological societies
AL stamped him as man of broad sy1npa-
thies and devotion His was constructive
type ofcitizenship whose thoroughness in small
things makes for permanency:
