BUSINESS: A SCIENTIFIC PROFESSION.

Evidences are seen every side today of new

in this country. Perhaps it is not much new
force it is augmented one for its basic element

But q new element has certainly been added. the
element of panstaking prosecution Of the pro
cesses born of initiative. Today we find the Amer
lean business mind applying its ingenuity and its
aptness for invention to ideas which heretofore
would have been expressed only to await practical
application at the direction of foreign patience and
zeal ~~>:.<." -
There has been, indeed, marked awakening in
this country, in the last few years. to the necessity
of native development and application of science,
both mechanical and intellectual, to business. The
causes of this awakening are not important OF

If the awakening becomes permanent and active
realization, there need be little reason to doubt
ability to compete inteligenty and effectively,
through the long future, in the markets of the

LETTERS
ARTISTS AND THE BlLLsoARDs

Editor Star Bulletin.
Sir: i have just read in this morn
ing Advertiser a purported interview
of the Cherniavsky brothers by mem
bers of the Outdoor Circle, headed
Real Artists Will Not Allow Names
Upon Billboards" If such silly state
ments were made by these gentlemen
they are entirely refuted by their own
action in Honolulu.
Their manager, Mr. Scully, came to
me and arranged for a regular bill
board showing. Just when my mon
had started to put up his paper on the
hillboards he came back greatly dis
tressed and said that he had been told
by some of the billboard committee of
the Outdoor Circle that his concerts
would be boycotted if he used bill
boards and asked if he could cancel
his arrangement with me. To this
agreed. He afterward repeated to one
of Honolulu's most prominent busi-
nessmen, in my presence, his state
ment made to me that he had been
threatend by the Outdoor Circle and
seemed greatly displeased.
Furthermore, in September, 1915,
when the CherniaYskys were in Homo
lulu, they patronized the billboards in
different parts of the city.
Yours for fair play,

AWAITS RETURNOF
|. ROBT. v. Single

Further discussion of negotiations
between the Outdoor Circle and Charles
r. Frazier for the restriction or elimi-
nation of billboards will probably be
deferred until Robert w. Single re-
turns from the coast. Single repre-
scented the circle in previous negotla-
tions, which, as recently published,
came to naught. .....:.. :@.-... -. ..
The Outdoor Circle yesterday replied
to a communication from the Star
Bulletin, with the editorial suggestion
that compromise plan be worked out.
This letter was read at the circle s
meeting last Tuesday and referred -
the executive committee. In answer
the circle indicates that nothing fur
Their will be done until Shingles re-
turn. 81 H..
1t was learned in the meeting that
two-thirds of the Outdoor Circles 80
members had Endorsed its letter TO
Charles r. Frazier to the effect that
there could be no compromise. Sew
eral women have Joined the organlza-
ton recently and paid their dues that
they might indorse the letter to Fra
zier. The next meeting will be De
cember IL. -. ?
Against the claim of the Pioneer Ad-
vertising Company of "a $4,000 bust
ness an excerpt from the tax office
record was produced showing that
Frazier valued his business for taxa
ton purposes at $4,000 - ~..
The reply of the circle to the Star
Bulletins suggestion is as follows:
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin. H..
Dear Sir: Your letter of November
13 to the president of the Outdoor
Circle has been received and we thank
you for the interest shown. The sug-
gestion of your paper is that the Olt-
door Circle should compromise in this
billboard controversy to the extent
that the Chas. r. Frazier Company
should confine the billboards to re-
stricted district 1t is unwise to take
up this point at present. In our pub
lished reply to Mr.. FraZiers letter we
stated we tentatively, through Mr..
Robert Single, offered to pay you
$4,000 to go out OF the billboard bust
ness. Mr.. Frazier replied, No such
offer ever was made by Mr.. Single or
anyone else representing the circle.
ct is unfortunate that Mr.. Shingle
is not here to clear up this point. He
is due here, however, very shortly and
we prefer to let matters rest until he
comes. In the meantime if the Chas.
R Frazier Company has any definite
proposition to make we should like to
have it in writing and il will have COLI
sideration in due time. .- ~
Yours truly, .@

A Chicago official discovers that women are fail
ures election officials. He says the feminine in
spectors and judges could remember afterward what
other lady clerks wore but could not remember what
they had written on tay-sheets. His Office is now
lremedying the mistakes of the females Possibly a
few people will take his statement seriously but
most will recognize that male election officials make
mistakes too and that it is just necessary to pick
out women who are competent, businesslike and
earnest about their work in the booths as to pick
out men with the same qualities. Then, too, women
have not been voting in Illinois long and many do
not take their politics as seriously men who have
been in precincts and city fights all their lives.
The European war has demonstrated beyond all
question that women can take mems place in vrtu-
ally every vocation except those demanding unusual
physical strength As against the lesson of Europe,
what a Chicago official says the basis of few
experiences, will cut small figure.

RICHARD BENNETT
AT THE ISIS TODAY
IN A MUTUAL FILM

Richard Bennett stars at the Isis to-
day only in the Mutual release, Phillip
Holden-Waster." Holden is studious
young author who is wrapped up in his
work and pays little attention to So
ciety or the state of his finances until
he falls in love with a beautiful girl
He then realizes that he must make
money and becomes a solicitor for a
fake mining concern, taking worthless
stock in the company for his sales
commissions. How he suddenly makes
a fortune and proceeds to square &C

faith in his business ability-and how

cial deal. makes the action of this in
tensely interesting drama move rapidly
toward it's strong and unexpected
climax.
THE Martyrdom of Philip Strong"
by the Rev Charles M. Sheldon, is the
Paramount picture featuring Robert
CONFESS and Mabel Trunnelle at the
Isis theater Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Man, you are living lie;" thus is
Philip Strong, the rising young pastor
of a fashionable Calvary church. adj
dressed by Brother Man. (symbolizing
the spirit of Christ on earth). Sur
rounded by luxury, lionized by a
wealthy congregation, Philip Strong
suddenly realizes the force of these
words. He has been preaching the doc
trines of Christ, but his work has been
the work of bare words only. To prove
the ruth of what he says. Brother Man
leads Philip to the slums, and shows
him the misery and squalor of a world
which he has never known. The starv
ing women and children, the kitchens
of hell where WHISKY ruins the lives of
men, inlpresses Philip deeply. He sees
his real mission in life. He must help
the downtrodden.
Time finds Philip living in the slums
immersed in his work. Fighting the
battle of the downtrodden, he arouses
the hate of powerful forces. The rich
of his congregation, owning the prop
critics which house saloons, and the
owners of these saloons, combine to
bring about his downfall. Undaunted
by threats of personal harm, he wages
his war. Cheered by Brother Man in
the moments when things seem most
hopeless, he fights his battle with new
energy. His friends gone; his little
daughter dead; the wife whom he loves
opposing him, he fight on.
Seeming an opportunity to discredit
him, the interests cause Sarah to be-
lieve that Loreen, a consumptive dere-
lict. whom he has redeemed and shell
tered ir his own home, is his mistress.
The story is disproved and Sarah re-
lents-but too late. The body bearing
the spirit of Philip is not equal to the
task. Wrecked by worry and i'll
health, he gives up his life and his soul
passes to the One whose work he has
been doing, and like Whom, he has
been crucified.

FARM WORK AND MACHINERY.

Much mischief has resulted to farm
ing as an occupation from the exploit
alton of the idea that machinery will
do the whole job and that future ag-
riculture will be a matter of pressing
buttons and setting wheels in motion.
The eloquent men who make and sell
machines often fall into eXaggerations
that are hurtful and that finally get
into cartoons which depict farming
as mere joy ride. 1t is silly and flu
tile, of course, and it should mslead
no one. The trouble is that too much
of it is believed and the thing soaks
into the general consciousness.
Good farming is work, hard work. 1t
is not going to be anything else. HUI
man genius will continue to help in
minor improvements, but the big,
eternal plan goes on. The soil Is full
of miracles, but there is no miracle
that will enable man to use the soil
profitably without labor.
