WHAT Of ALL
THE GREAT BIC
PROMISES?
COMPANY GETTING
MONEY, BUT WHAT ARE THEY
GIVING THE PUBLIC IN RE-
TURN. TIME FOR ACTION.

Have the people OF Ardmore sold
their birthright for mess of Pot
tage? Have they given up something
to a big corporation with the expecta-
ton of getting something in return,
only to find that they have been most
beautifully "bilked," and are now in
no position to raise a vigorous kick;
kick that will bring tangable re
suits?
1t seems that they have. Some
time ago the Pioneer Telephone com
pany, through their representatives,
scured from the subscribers in this
city their consent to certain rate
agreements, assuring them at the
| time that the company was going
to make extensive improvements in
the city, and promising divers and
sundry things, among others, that the
service would be materially improved.
That was many moons ago, and If
any move has been made toward this
magnificent building" other than
the purchase of the lot, no one has
ever been appraised of the fact OF
course statements have been issued
from time to time assuring the peo
pie that work would begin before
long" and the dear people have been
content to let it go at that. But to
revert to the present service.
Did any one, in any city on the
face of the earth, ever know of
service that could compare to what
the subscribers of this city are ask
ed to pay for before the tenth day OF
every month? If so, pray tell where
it was and Ardmore can then be
placed second best from the bottom
of the list. The service accorded the
subscribers of this city at present can
best be described by the word fierce
A person calling for certain number
is extremely lucky If he or she gets
within one hundred points OF the
number asked for and to register a
kick is just that much more time
wasted. The city took this mat
ter in hand once before. and they
could perform no greater ser
vice to the public at present than TO
make the Telephone company give
service or take legal action against
them.
People as a rule are not prone to
register kicks against the payment
OF their monthly telephone bill, but
they would be justified in doing so
while the present service is given.
lust what the matter is, is hard to
determine. Inquiries at the local of
flee fails of much satisfaction, and in
the meantime the services seems TO
be on the decline. II the Pioneer
Telephone company have not suffici-
ent trained force in this city to han
die the business, they should be
compelled to employ them. if they are
unable TO secure competent help at
the present scale OF wages. they
should be compelled 10 raise the
scale. but at any rate the public
should get value received for their
money. something that many claim
is not forthcoming under present
conditions.

on the flag is better American than
the man who has given his life to save
it. Such statement is to me. abso-
lutely abhorrent Ii is inconceivable
in my own mind that should ever say
anything remotely approaching it.

not, may simply, without being bur-

William Lyon Phelps Stirs Feel
ingS of Eastern Papers in
Misguided Speech

William Lyon Phelps Of Yale uni
yersity, who is coming TO Honolulu in
June to speak at the 18th anniversary
of Punahou academy, has figured
much recently in eastern newspapers
following a news report of a meeting
of the Connecticut Peace Society to
the effect that he spoke strongly
against national defense, saying that
the Nag and patriotism were largely
an illusion and that to spit on the
flag was not to disgrace it nearly as
much as to spill the nations blood
on it.
In an effort to discover whether
the professor was quoted correctly,
the Army and Navy Journal addressed
a letter to him, to which he has re-
piled, giving a formal statement as

Mr.. Trotter has two good projects in
mind here which have not developed
far enough for him to dfyulge.
The new manager, George Wiley, Is
one OF the best known chief stewards
on the Pacific and If his popularity
in Honolulu is anything like that he
enjoyed on the sea he will have pleas

directly from the Montara Inn near

The question was asked me:
Do you think if foreigner should

not fair that hundreds of thousands of
our young men should die because
some foreigner, whose opinion is
worthless anyway, should have in

to me it would be greater disgrace
for America to shed the blood of our
young men in trying to avenge this

that nation, like an individual, can

own acts.
