w. R. FARRINGTON: In the
midst of all this prosperity We woni
der what is holding up the town, why
1t doesn't look more spick and span
as wealthy and progressive town
should. AS president of the Ad Club
| have attended number of meetings
of the supervisors and secured con.
siderable enlightenment. In the first
place have met mighty few first citi
zens and chief prosperity beneficiaries
at those meetings. In the second place
found my friend McCandless, one OF
the large beneficiaries of the pros
perity, heading movement to prevent
the Improvement of Beretania street
by the frontage tax In the third
place | went to the meeting last eve
ming to be present at the hearing
which will secure the Improvement OF
Kalakaua avenue Although the hear
ing has been advertised for weeks,
property owners not present and I'm.
named secured pOStponement OF two
weeks-as II they had not had enough
time already. Furthermore Supervisor
Single stated that these property
owners were trying to work out
scheme by which the burden Would
be borne by an area scheme instead
of frontage One does not have to go
farther than attendance at the super
visors' meeting to learn one source OF
what is holding up the town in the
days of prosperity.
There was a time when | thought
that such stuff as the nagging oppo-
sition of the governor given out yes
terday seriously hampered the prog.
ress of the territory. But the men
and motives behind this nagging are
we'll understood and the fact that the
leader and the live men of the present
Washington administration are essen
TALLY progressive assures the classic
cation of such things just where they
belong. The stuff serves to increase
Hawaii's reputation as community
that cares more for dog fight and
peanut politics than for real progress.
1t does. not do its sponsors any per-
sonal, public or political good.
If our people want to know what
is holding up the progress of the city

ENGINEERS HEAR
SAFETY LECTURE
Members of Moline Local Are Ad
dressed by James S. Smirz of Chi
cago at Monthly Meeting.

James S. Smirz of Chicago discuss
ed the safety first" principle before
stationary engineers Of Moline local
at their meeting last evening. Mr..
Smirz, who is connected with the Re-
public Globe Indemnity company, ad-
vanced the thought that if the much
discussed safety first" principle is to
ever result in any material decrease
in the great number of human lives
which annually pay the toll of the
crime of carelessness, it must be
through teaching the principle to
children in the public schools, that the
idea may be before them constantly
while they grow to manhood and
womanhood
Three million lives are annually
lost through carelessness, stated the
Chicago man. This is largely result
of careless habits, he said, and these
habits must be avoided in children of
the rising generation. Mr. Smirz also
told of the lessons given Chicago chill
dren.
Mr.. Smirz's talk was supplemented
by safety first pictures shown by W

GERS of State Association OF
Method TO Broaden Scope.

States Attorney Floyd Thompson,
president of the Illinois States Attor-
neys' association, today sent out let
tiers to the officers OF the organization

connection with the meeting Of the IL
linois Bar association and the other
at Springfield in December when offic-
ers were elected.

meeting in either East st. Louis OF
Mount Vernon on April 10. Business
sessions will be held in the morning
and afternoon and in the evening there
will be d banquet.
The summer session will be held il
Chicago June l, 2 and 8, under Mr.
Thompson's plan. This will permit {
joint session with the Illinois Society
of American Institute of Criminal Law
and Criminology, which will be in ses
sion June |, and the state bar asso
citation which will meet June 2 and 3
The third meeting will be held il
Springfield at which time officers will
