Very respectfully yours,
WILLIAM ISAAC KANAKANUI
FROM BONA FIDE. WORKERS.

Honolulu, T. H., May &c, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: In answer To the letter pub
lished in your evening PAPER under the
nom de plum of "Residenter" We would
he only too glad to avail ourselves
of the privilege of answering through
the same medium. -
Last December, two Hawaiian-born
men decided to start regular tour
list company here, to take care of the
tourists after they came to the islands.
The members of the firm spent good
deal of money in making the different
trips that the different islands had to
offer, so that when the tourists came
here and asked what could be done,
they would receive accurate and relia-
BILE information, regarding time, ex-
pense, what to wear, and how long 1t
will take to make the trip. ..
This is an exhaustive study and has
taken good deal of time and energy,
but, we have that information, and
are imparting the same to all tourists
that come to our office. or that We
may see at the different hotels. This
information is free.
We know and realize that there will
be more tourists coming to the Ha-
waiian islands in the next six months
than have visited these islands within
the past two or three years. Our Mr..
Aldrich, who is on the coast handling
the San Francisco office, has been
given the contract for a party of 200
This is but one of many. .4} i. .,
If the party calling himself Resi-
denter'' will read this and will only
come into our office we will be only
too glad to show him itineraries and
estimates that we have on file, for
parties that are coming out here this
yer under our supervision, also we
have quite few fine testimonials from
tourists we have handled in the past
which we would be pleased to show.
This letter is an open invitation to
the aboye-named writer to come into
our office and pay US a VISITOR after
interviews with a number of the lead
ing business men of Honolulu and
hearing their judgment on our BUSH
ness we feel that we have something
that good many people of Honolulu
know nothing about, and which, If they
did know, perhaps would be little
more willing to give US the helping
hand that young company starting
out in a strange business generally
needs We say strange business
for we have found people here who
IRE unwilling to be convinced that this
is a regular bona fide business and
that we are working for the good and
welfare of the entire community. 1t
is case of our working to get these
large parties to come here and then
show them the islands in the right
way. SO that we can earn our daily
bread; and the man at the head of
any business wherein he has his
money invested knows that means
hard and well-meant industrious labor.
Trusting that this does not prove
too long for your use and that the
people of Honolulu reading and not
same will kindly give
us the privilege of further explana
ton, we beg to remain,
Yours very truly,

HAWAII AT THE FAIR.

The Hawaiian building is very attractive and re-
ceives large numbers of VISITORS like all other state
and territorial buildings at the exposition the Ha-
waiian building not intended to contain an eX-
hbiton of the products and resources Of the island
territory It. however, differs from the usual state
building. Ii gives 10 the visitors some idea OF the
atmosphere and life of the territory. The various
illuminated kosks illustrative Of island the
aquarium and the Hawaiian singing boys pleas
ing. IL is stated good authority that the number
visiting the Hawaiian building is not exceeded by
any of the state or territorial buildings by
that Of California;. N. s Williams.
This description by one of the Hawaii fair
commissioners u.s. we believe, fair and accurate.
The Star Bulletin has had occasion to state
previously that most of the "knocks" on Ha-
waits building come from residents of the ter
ritory Perhaps it is because it is impossible to
realize in reproduction the beauties and charms
of the islands that local folks are apt to be a
bit disappointed at the Hawaii eXhibt-which
is really not intended as an exhibit But there
is abundant evidence that to mainanders the
sculptured surf-riders, the Illuminated kiosks,
the dioramas of the Pail and Waikiki, the
the plants and above all the wonder
full painted fish," are exceedingly attractive.
BY actual count Of attendance, the Hawaii
building is in the front rank. A businessman
who returned from California yesterday places
the Canadian building first and the Hawaiian
building second in point of attractiveness, and
hesHawaii building is one qof thescheapest on
the grounds. .#-..., ~.
The Star-Buletin has pointed out one or two
particulars in which the building might be
made even more of an advertisement for posi-
Bile tourists and we are informed that the sug-
gestions are beingIfollowed. It is only fair to
say that in by Tar the majority Of cases, the
comment on Hawaii's building which has
reached Honolulu-s favorable comment

Henry Clews, the New York banker whose
|rSde letters are closely followed in Hawaii,
often criticises the administration. Here, how
k<ef,. is his comment on the latest act of the
administration:
CON Friday the market was of course much
,.Sseltleds by the prospect of difficulties with
[ermany, concerning which the president S
tction in the matter appeared in the morning
bapers. The following are my views thereon;

PRESIDENT President Wilson S note to the Ger
man government is worthy of communication
from every citizen of the United States. It's
tone is courteous, but at the same time firm and
dienified. It's language admits of no miseon-
sfruction. He appeals to the high ideals of the
German race and compliments them on their
nrevious record on the side of justice and hui
,nanity. He frankly states his demand for full
1eparafion for the several acts where our rights
ave been invaded and the fact that he in
.'rlees Ia no bombastic utterances adds strength

valuable paper to express my view.
to the rdhlic in regard to the present
hahdmhster of the famous Royal IIa
Waiian band, Mr.. Kalani, and a band
master who is unknown to this com
munity and also not citizen of this
territory who is supposed to lead the
Royal Hawaiian band in the future.
In reading the 18th Advertiser OF
this month the writer of this letter
was surprised to see that one OF our
local supervisors, Mr..eRobt.. Horner
is trying in every way to sacceed Mr.
Di Roccia, conductor of the orchestra
CT the BeYani Opera Company, to the
position which now is held by Mr.. Pc.
ter Kalani, as the bandmaster of the
Royal Hawaiian band, If Mr.. Df Reccia
should accept the salary of. 5000 Per
month. This is Mr.. HofnS IS views.
The writer's views are these So
t'far'tha our Hon. Mayor, Al f.John c.
Lane, of this city and c6Gnty Of Ho-
nolulu, had appointed Mr.. Peter Ka-
lani to be the leader of the Hawaiian
band and that the same is directing
it with the approval of the board OF
supervisors after the mayor had inves.
tigated seriously into the situation,
skill and ability as aileader, had final
ly come to the conclusions that Mr..
Kalani is able to lead the band and
can compose music OF difficult varie-
ties to meet the Satisfaction. Of the
public. And coming down to the sit.
uaticns Of these things, cannot see
any reason why the supervisor is to
get another man in the place already
filed when he himself voted heartily
m favor of MIR. Kalani landing the ba-
con.
There are few questions that /
would like to present before the public
and would Ike the Hon. Supervisor,
Mr.. Homer, to answer them: -" -.
/. Did you not approve the appoint
ment of Mr. Kalani to be the director
of the Royal Hawaiian band by the
mayor? ....
2. Did you examine Mr. Kalani and
find out that he is not fit to be at the
head of that organization?
5. What are your reasons in placing
a man who is not a citizen of this
territory in the place already filed by
Mir. Kalani who is qualified to lead
that famous organization?
: l. Was it because that Mr. Kalani
IL a Hawaiian and that you, MIR. Horn
er, have no use for a Hawaiian be-
cause Hawaiian cannot do anything?
The above questions are to- be
answered by you, Mr.. Horner, and
want you to be frank with me and with
the public. -. :.:..
When Mr. Kalani became the di
rector of the Royal Hawaiian band |
thought when | was attending one of
their regular concerts that this band

SALOONS MUST GO.

In pronouncing sentence on over 100 men,
including the mayor of Terre Haute, Ind, for
conspiracy in election frauds, Judge Anderson
of the United States district court said:
Ny notion is that the saloon will have to
go. believe that the time will come when the
people will rise up and smash the saloon, at
least as we have it now. The evidence in this
case showed that the saloons were the center
of nearly all the corruption in the election at
Terre Haute. = .-,"a
