WHY SUSPENSION MERELY?

Sheriff Rose has suspended for one month a
policeman who struck soldier with his club. The
sheriff finds that the patrolman was unnecessarily
brutal
The penalty is slight indeed 1t is explained that
the offending officer is new man on the force but
he should not be the force at all if he does not
known better than to pull his club and strikea SOL
dier, or any man, without justifying reason. In
this case there was no such reason.
With ell the notoriety which the sheriff's Office
has enjoyed because of repeated cases recently of
brutality by his men to soldiers and Sailors the city
has no particular hope that Mr.. Rose will take dras
tic steps to discipline his force: Policemen who
cannot control themselves ought to be dismissed in
stead Of suspended The sheriff continually Injuries
the cause Of selfgoyernment by allowing abuse of
authority in his department.

Death COMES TO
JONATHAN SHAW
PIONEER OF SOS

Jonathan Shaw, an old and respect
ed resident of Honolulu, who came to
the islands in 1880, died last night at
his home, $3.50 Oahu avenue, Manoa,
after an illness of several weeks. Dia-
betes was the cause.
The body was cremated today and
the funeral will take place at
o'clock tomorrow friday afternoon
from Central Union church. FamilJ
services were held today. Interment
of the remains will take place in the
mission plot behind Kawaiahao
church.
Jonathan Shaw was born just out
of Londonderry, Ireland, on January
7, 1847. Shortly after his birth the
family moved to Canada, where his
father died. The mother and four
children returned to Ireland, where
Jonathan lived until he was Is. Then
be went to New York, worked HIS way
west to Minneapolis, and finally to
San Francisco and Honolulu. He ar
rived in Honolulu on December 80,
1880, on board the Pacific Mail steam
er City of Sydney. Fellow-passengers
were three men who, like himself,
were destined to play important parts
In the business and public life of these
islands, namely: James s. McCand-
less of McCandless Bros, artesian
water developers and capitalists;
James A. Kennedy, president and
manager Of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Co., Ltd, and the late
Francis NJ Swanzy, for some years
prior to his death four months ago
managing director Of Theo. H. Da
vies & Co., Ltd.
For some years past Mr.. Shaw &C.
cupied the same office as Mr.. Nc
CandFess, his fellow voyager Of long
ago, in the McCandless building.
After many years in the employ of
the late John Thomas Waterhouse,
founder Of the house that latterly
owned several large stores here, Mr..
Shaw filled the office of assessor and
collector of taxes for Oahu under the
minister of finance of the republic,
from which he retired shortly after
the Inauguration of the territory in
1900. During his term of office the
llfSI 1uCOu10 TAX law oudCISu III E1d-
wall was attempted to be enforced.
but it was declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court.
Since that time Mr.. Shaw's princi-
pal vocation had been that of business
agent Of Oahu College. He also had
been treasurer of Central Union
church, bookkeeper for P. C. Jones
and manager Of real estate interests
of his own.
November Is, 1888, Mr.. Shaw mar
ried Elizabeth Della, daughter of the
late Rev. Serene e. Bishop, D. D.; and
Mrs. Bishop, the latter now in her
93rd year. Mrs. Shaw survives him
with three daughters-Ruth Cornelia,
a B. s. graduate of Columbia Univer-
sity teachers college, and a teacher
in the territorial Normal school; Jes-
sic Cunningham, also a graduate of
Columbia, an art designer; and Mar
garet Fenton, an A. B. graduate of
Mount Holyoke Seminary and teach
er in the territorial Normal school
Also two brothers and sister of the
deceased are still living in Minnesota.

HOW ADVERTISING PAYS.
fFrom the Editor and publisherl

Rrom the Editor and Ppblsher) .-
IT Is asserted that advertisers spend in the news
papers Of this country in the course Of year about
$780, ,0OO Assuming that directly and indirect
y the newspapers reach and influence all of the peo
Die. this means that for the purpose Of getting his
message to him the advertiser spends about $3.50
per year to reach each inhabitant of the country.
Does this expense represent an economic waste,
Is some people allege? Or do the advertisers and
the readers find it mutually profitable? j
The expenditure means, for the advertiser, a part
OF his selling cost Selling cost cannot be eliminat
ed In merchandising. Sales must be made unless
manufacturing is to cease. If manufacturing is to
be stimulated selling must be. If output is to be
large, distribution must keep pace. Unless output
Is ct maximum OF capacity, manufacturing costs
mount and must be added to the selling price Of the
product Quick turnover of his product by the re-
taller is vital to the manufacturer who would keep
his costs at minimum and his product at maximum
Of excellence. Advertising affords the cheapest and
the only successful plan whereby the commodity of
real merit finds its market Thus, while advertising
Is part Of the selling expense it reduces selling
pense to the lowest possible point, and becomes q
factor Of economy for both the manufacture and re
taller.
II manufacturer and retailer should stop adver.
Using thus restricting their market and making it
Impossible 10 c0nIrOl ulbtr1Duu0n, the consumer
would have to stand at least part Of the loss In
the way of higher prices for the commodity. Low
prices prices providing for the smallest possible
profits above manufacturing and selling COSTS are
possible only when distribution matches output If
less effective sales plan is followed the consumer
pays for the blunder-or the manufacturer fails.
All expense involved in producing and selling
product should be assumed for the one object Of
getting such product to the consumer at the lowest
possible price Advertising its into the process,
and is the factor which makes possible the small
persale profit. Advertising broadly speaking, al
ways works to lower the cost of commodities to the
people.and to standardize production and profits
FOR the manufacturer. Making possible for the mer
chant the maximum volume Of sales, advertising as
sures and sabilizes his profits and cuts his selling
coststo the lowest pargin.
Advertising enables the seller Of good thing to
reap the advantage which he deserves to have over
the seller Of commodity of questionable value and
merit. Advertising educates the consumer to dis
eliminate in favor Of the article Of real worth If
these were its sole functions advertising would jus
fy itself In truth however, it iusties itself from
every possible angle.

CITY BANKS SHOW COMBINED
GAIN OF $sss,sao.eo IN
TWELVE MONTHS.
INCREASE LARGEST IN
LOCAL BANKING HISTORY
General Prosperity Of City and Its
Vicinity Reflected in Large Sum on
Deposit-Savinss Accounts Of City
Banks Increase $467,3ss.3o in the
Year, Which Is Also New Record.

Combined deposits Of the banks Of
the city have set new high mark Tor
local banking history. Deposits in the
six banks of the city have mounted to
a total Of s6,1S0,75O.25. according to
the latest published statements. The
amount Of the deposits, together with
the unprecedented gain In deposits in
the last twelve months, reflects the
widespread and general prosperity Of
the city and its vicinity and the gen
cral confidence in local banks.
Since April /, 1916, deposits in the
local banks have increased sS39,32O.60,
which beyond question eclipses any
previous twelve months gain in the
history of the city's banks. The rate
of increase has been nearly $4,000 a
month.
Five Million Mark Passed.
\ year or a little longer ago local
bankers took pride in pointing TO the
fact that for the first time in local
banking combined deposits had passed
the s., 00c,00 mark. Since then the in
creases have been so rapid that it is
quite possible that deposits may never
drop back TO that figure.
\ year ago combined deposits to-
tailed s5.3i1.4I9.65, compared with
s6.iS0..5U.25 at this time. and s5,l49,-
1920 early in 1915. The rapid rate
Of the increase is best illustrated by
the gain of sS39,330.60 in the last
twelve months, compared with s191.-
1905, the gain for the twelve months
ending early in 1915. The rate OF in
crease in the last year has been more
than four times as rapid as in the pre-
ceding twelve months.
Savings Accounts Grow.
Quite the same general condition ex-
lists In savings accounts. which are
rather a better indication Of general
prosperity as they indicate the accumu-
lations Of a great many people, mostly
persons of comparatively small means.
Combined savings deposits in the
city total S3,551,946.42, over half OF the
total deposits. The increase in saw
tngs In the year has been s4673Ss.30,
which indicates that they have fully
kept pace With the general accumula-
ton OF money In the banks. During
the twelve months ending early in 1916,
savings deposits grew from $685., Sl7.41
TO $s,os4,55s.12, an increase of s131,-
740.s5, a very substantial growth but
small compared with the gain OF the
last year.
