Getting Savannah in teOrgla.

NttIiuS JdfdUHuH HI UCVA > rae
The commercial and civic organiza-
tions of Savannah are planning to
make persistent and determined eff
forts to put Georgia's seacoast me-
Fropolis really into the state proper.
For a long time the "Repup.ic Of
Chatham' has been the appeE&tion
used in describing that wonderful
Southern port ON the coast of Georgia,
and there are actually thousands and
tens of thousands of people in the state
who have really been looking upon
Savannah as a sort of an adjunct of
Georgia, and not part of the common
wealth.
But new spirit seems to be imbuing
the citizens of that beautiful city by
the sea, and the Commercial Club of
Savannah, presumably aided anG aDet-
ted by general spirit of cooperation,
hos launched a new campaign calca-
lated to bring Savannah in close touch
with the state on the whole.
In discussing the matter in a force
fud and interesting address, TT. w. n.
Ainsworth, one of the most prominent
ministers of Georgia, declared yester-
day that it would be advisable fos Sa-
yannah to get up a trade train and
visit Augusta, Macon, Americas and
other contiguous points. He declared
that it would establish relations be-
tween Savannah and the points in oues-
ton, which would doubtless bring 2
large volume of business to Savannah
Arranging action of this iknd he adj
monished the city to look well TO its
laurels, else Augusta and some other
rival trade points, would take much
OF its business away from the city, aad
certainly Savannah could not expect
to share in the logical incsease in
traffic which should come under mod
ern conditions and during these rros-
porous times.
1t may be that Augusta is too busy
just at this juncture to look well to
its future, but this is a good time for
the commercial interests of Augusta to
look ahead and do something toward
insuring a continued activity to which
this city is entitled through its locati9n
and other natusal advantages. Angus

AN INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE,

Some of these days Americas is go
ing to have a fine auditorium, spacious
and attractive, a credit to creditable
city.
Not always can city as splendidly
equipped otherwise as Americas most
undoubtedly is, not always can a city
Of such size and ambition deny and
deprive itself of as valuable an asset
as an auditorium would be.
With an auditorium, this city could
irvite, and have more and larger con-
ventions, more theatrical attractions,
rore assemblies. There would be suit
able accommodations for our own per-
sonal needs.
With an auditorium properly equip
ped for the presentation of state pro-
auctions, Americas could obtain shows
such as now go to Albany, Macon and
other nearby towns and cities Prob
ably no other Georgia city has such
a territory to draw on, a territory
really rich with towns-Richland
Lumpkin, Ellaville, Buena Vista, Mon
| ezuma, Dawson, Smithville, besides the
towns of our own county, all being
within a short radius.
The Chamber of Commerce is nurs-
ing an auditorium project which when
it is eventually undertaken. should be
pushed on with the spirit and the
enthusiasm characteristic of the city.
1t will be an investment Americus will
lever regret

REPUBLICANS TO
STAND TOGETHER
AGAINST INUOADS

That the five Republican members
Of the new board Of supervisors will
stick together and under no circum-
stances allow Democrats to GUST the
incumbent appointive officeholders
for political reasons is the statement
which has been made by every Re-
publican member Of the new board.
e. A. Mott-Smith this morning sum-
med up the situation when he pointed
out the section in the platform Of the
Republican party. dealing with ap-
pointments, which says: "The Re-
publican party hereby pledges its can
didates for the several offices Of the
city and county Of Honolulu to carry
out the principle OF the merit system
in the appointment Of officials and en-
ployes to positions Of trust and res
possibility"
Il am taking the Republican plat
form more seriously than most people
because it contains sound policies"
said Mott-Smith. Amy man who Is
put in for political reasons / shall

entirely on the merits Of the man.

Ben Hollinger Is absolutely opposed
to any change as Is also Charles Arm
old, and William AHA and Charles
Bellina have stated that they intend
to stand by their party In regard to
appointments.
. These men have also said that they
will fight any movement TO remove
City and County Engineer Collins.
"He is now acquainted with our policy
of road work and 1t would set the
work under the frontage tax back
year If a change Is made now" Hol-
linger said. cit is, evident that the at
tack this morning on Collins emanat-
ed from Bill Larsen, who has been
Boosting that he defeated Lane and
his antipathy for collins is well
known"
The suggestion Of compromise by
the Democrats Is also causing much
merriment among Republicans. AS
one Republican said today. 1T is g.
o. P. board and they can do as they
wish.'
Another angle which presented 1t.
self today Is that the members of
the civil service commission are ap-
pointed for one year and therefore
can not be called upon to hand in
their designations until January l,
1918.

This is the amount of sugar await

emit time. The total today Is close to
three times what it was year ago.
At one mill on hawaii the aecumu.
lated sugar on hand Wednesday of

record. Waiakea, for instance, had
$4,000 bags awaiting shipment this
week, where only 2,0G0 sacks were

bags in its warehouse this week, where
last year at this time there we're only
$500.
Steamer Tonnage Is Heavier
Shipping men Of Honolulu say that
the congestion Of sugar on the Big
Island is not due to any reduction in
coast. The tonnage available now IL
larger than a year ago, as one more
steamer with room for 10000 tons of
sugar, the new Matson flagship Maui,
Is on the run now.
The sale Of the old Matson freighter
Hilonian did not reduce the Matson tom
mage materially, as her net tonnage
was hardly a third that Of the Maui.
The two big American Hawaiian
freighters, Mexican and Texan, are
maintaining the schedule now that
they we're a year ago, but in spite Of
the combined efforts Of the Matson
and All. boats, the congestion CON
tinues to increase-at least 30 far as
the island Of Hawaii is concerned.
