NATIONAL INCOME TROUBLES.

President Wilson's suggestions in his recent

that if Democracy is to stay in power, the

turn out powerful opposition to the Democrats
at the next election and every effort must be

About the only item in the presidents finan

general favor among the Bourbons of Congress
is the lowering of the income tax exemption to
take in smaller incomes and thus increase the
revenues from this source. Also another fifty
cents per barrel is likely to be assessed on beer

Chinese citizens said Fung Chez You,

Yuan Shih Kai declared the monarchy

would set himself up as an emperor.

would. We foretold II in all of our
speeches. ~" =. 49,. -.
IF the people OF the country had
watched they would have found that
there was much trickery In the policy
OF Yuan According to the constitu-

took the Office Of president he swore
that he would preserve the constitu-
ton and do his best to maintain the
new republic, and not assist in the
propags nda for monarchy" H.. -.

THE CARNIVAL AND THE SOLDIER.

In arranging for the seat sales, the 1916
Carnival management is taking one step which
will be particularly appreciated in military
circes-that of selling seats toSsoldiers. The
post exchanges will handle order forms and
the soldiers may buy what they please and get
precisely the same accommodations and service
as anybody else
The soldier, as the Carnival management
emphasizes, does not want anything gratui-
tous. He does not want to be set apart from
the civilians on public occasions where his pres
ence is not required by some military feature.
The best thing that can be done for the soldier
is to treat him onthe same fair and square foot
ing the average Honolulu man treats anybody
else and wants to be treated himself

affected will come to the mainland,
there is well-estabIished effort
which, however, so far has met with
but little success. to build up white
population by encouraging European
immigration and such officers have
found themselves upon one or the
ether horn of a dilemma-they must

Congress Should Consider Action.
AS was suggested in the last report,
all of these matters affecting immi-
grafton into the insular possessions
and from the insular possessions to
the mainland should be given careful
attention by Congress at an early date.
They are serious and are deserving of
most earnest thought and well-advised
action. There is no desire to inter
fere with what may be considered the
local wants of the territory. But the
fact that SO large number of the
aliens, as well as citizens from our in
sular possessions, who are admitted to
the territory come to the mainland
eventually and there become public
charges in San Francisco or vicinity
warrants the suggestion that the terri

situation is wholly different. There is

there, perhaps, any particular reason

EMPEROR HUNG HIN,

Now that President Yuan ShihK ai has ac-
cepted the throne of China and taken the i'm
perial cognomen of Hung Hin, it is not hard
to trace the development of his monarchical
ideas since the overthrow of the Manchus. As
president he began early to subordinate the
legislative and judicial branches of theerepub
lican government to the executive, and after
he had riddled the parliament by the summary
dismissal of members, his will was almost as
supreme as it will be under the new regime
1t is fair to say of Yuan that those who know
him are convinced he believes nothing but an
approach to autocracy can develop China rap
idly enough for the great, unwieldy country
to meet its many internal and external prob
lens. A good many observers expect the new
emperor to pattern his rule after that of
Kaiser Wilhelm.

A HoNoLULAN's SUGGESTION.

That big tourist traffic Honolulu has eX-
pected for years is not still sometime in the
hazy future-it is here.
A glance at the steamer arrivals for several
weeks past viii convince any ''kamaaina,
who is fairly familiar with island folk, that the
tourists are coming here by the hundred. The
day of opportunity is not next month or next
year, it is today.
What of it?
One suggestion for Honolulu to consider
comes from local businessman who is now
in San Francisco and one who is particularly
interested in seeing that Honolulu takes the
best care possible of its residents and of its
visitors. In a recent letter he SAYS:
ut now looks to me very much as if the Great
Northern Pacific Steamship Company might make
their service permanent If the development of travel
increases, and possibly put the Northern Pacific
well as the Great Northern, getting another boat
for the Pacific Coast trade. With this service apd
the completion of the new Matson steamer which
will be In every way even more desirable than the
splendid Matsonia that company will be able to
handle fully one thousand passengers every month.
This means that the Promotion Committees worry
over transportation will cease but should now
get busy and do something to add to the already
splendid hotel facilities of the city, Our hotels
equal to those you will find anywhere and their
rates will average lower than those the main
land. What is wanted, however is a large hotel on
the beach, having large, attractive central build
ing for OFFICES, dinngr0oms, etc, with magnificent
anais on the first and second floors, practically all
around the building, with numerous cottages built
for two more people, place large enough attrac-
tive enough and with sufficient funds the back
sthe enterprise to extensive advertising
to commend Itself to the different railway steam
ship companies well as being worth while for them
to advertise. Such a hotel will not detract in the
least from the patronage givent the present hotels
but really will be means of adding to their bust
ness" #sI3
With the Territorial Hotel Company taking
over the present plant of the Seaside Hotel,
material Improvements in the Waikiki beach
hostelries are to be expected. The new Seaside
may fill the very vacancy here suggested.
Every effort should be put forth to secure
more beach front for bathing than is now gen.
orally available At first sight this seems we'll
nigh an impossibility, but mainland cities out
of such impossible situations have created
great parks and splendid boulevards and spa
cious Fairgrounds. The Outrigger Club was
an impessibility until someone created it.
This suggestion from Honolulan who gets
a. new perspective by being away from the
islands issnot an entirely new thought There
are frequent arguments in favor of another
beach hotel 1t is however, additional evidence
that the right sort of enterprise should be bril-
kantly successful

In Pawn.

There is scarcely anything in
this wide world that a person up
against it financially can't pawn,
for the pawnbroker is a gambler,
whose instincts either are ac-
quired or born in him, and he
will take a chance on anything
provided the article is not falling
to pieces.
Women, according to the pawn
broker, work their own ruin fire.
quently by liquor and drug ad-
diction, but in great many
cases it is derelict husbands who
cause the women to patronize the
pawnshop. And the woman
makes the sacrifice to protect her
children.
A woman who is struggling
to save her children" the pawn
broker said, Twill begin by pawn
ing household things. The alarm
clock or another kind of clock
will go first. Then she will sac.
rifice a few dishes. May be
some of the furniture will go
next. Her clothes will remain
for the last, because she needs
clothes in her quest for work.
The best dress will be saved, if
at all possible, but l have known
hundreds of cases where they
have pawned corsets to keep the
family supplied with a bite of
food in times of want.
In things offered for pawn the
threebaIl man says that razors
lead by a wide margin, while
alarm clocks, strange as it may
seem, come second. Umbrellas,
too, are a common article to be
pawned. And only about 80 per
cent, of these articles eventually
are redeemed.
