Who was It that promised that
f leaks would pass away when Carl
Smith was taken Into tlio offlco ot
Hawaii's County Attorney?
Everything that Hussl.i nuts
nlloat, either on sen or In the. ulr,
appears to have a natural bent for
the bottom by tho shortest route.
This Is tho first touch of a Kan
rus glimmer weather Honolulu has
hail, and nnto how free It Ih from
tho Kunsas discomfort and terror.
Now that they nro trying to col
lect extra licenses from Honolulu
business men, Illlo can never prove
nn nllbl on the Fourth of July over
charges. Honolulu people should build up
null a strong sentiment for home In
vestment of money made In Hawaii
that tho man who sends his money
nbrtiad will do It on u dark night.
If the visiting Congressman are
made to feel that they arc being
hedged about by special Interests,
somo one or perhaps more of them
Is likely lo lump the traces nnd
break loose unexpectedly.
Great bodies move slowly, but
when the extra steamships aro once
minted between hero nnil tlin mnln
land to nciommodatc the Increasing
passenger trael, they will soon bo
coming in droves.
It Isn't that people do not wish to
entertain the Congressmen, but
rather that the majority bcllcvo tho
visitors would enjoy themselves far
better It given freo swing and tho
absolute freedom of the hotels.
When Hawaii Is only four days
distant from tho mainland for cruis
ers running under full speed, It
won't tnl.o so long as was once
thought necessary lo assemble n
good-sized fighting force In these
waters.
Mr. Mott-Smlth snys that Hawaii
county has done well In responding
to tho demands of tho typhoid fever
epidemic In Kona. Let us repeat
this good word for Hawaii county as
often as possible-; It Is so seldom wo
hear one.
Honolulu supervisors would mnko
a namo for themselves by passing an
nrdlnnnco icqulrlng every person
convicted of reckless nulo driving to
wefir a fool's cap for six weeks
thereafter while sitting In the driv

Thoro Is only ono way to flguro
out Honolulu's future Each man
has then lo consider whether ho will

Is but one conclusion.
' -i jji
Ono of the business magazines
prints n letter from n manufacturer
who explains that thcro Is not
enough profit In hli line to Justify
hint In advertising. This, or course,
Is chiefly Interesting as showing that
tho Idea still obtains In somo quar
ters that advertising bills arc nec
essarily paid out of profits, On tho
contrary, they nro paid out of tho
costs ot production and marketing.
Advertising lowers the cost of pro
duction by Increasing the quantities
produced, and at tho same tlmo It
substitutes tho cheapest soiling
method for the most expensive. Tho
denier who complains Hint his pro
fits aro Binall has only himself to
blame. The dally ncwsnnneni nro
nt his disposal, and it is tho function
or good newspaper advertising to en
hnnce pioflts without enhancing
prices to the consumer. Ilniu.

creased business lo the producer. It
helps him grow With thn cpnernl de
velopment of the town.
PROF.PALMER'S FLIRTATIOUS
ERRORS.
Comment was made In, these col
li nns a few weeks ago upon an ail
ress of Professor Palmer of Harvard
In which he was represented nB hav
ing urged young ladles and young men
to flirt a little more nnd uu a little
less serious.
Now comes the dignified urofessor
cccuiolng tho chnlr of Natural fie
llglou. Moral Phllosonhv and Civil Pol
ity nt Hnnnrd with a communication
pituiisnoil in tile Outlook. He btato3
that ho did not say what ho was rep
resented as sajlng, or nt least tho ie
port was merely a half truth nnd ho
then piocceds to lambaste the news
papers. Hla letter Is very Interesting but too
long to be given In full. It should bu
noted on bchnlf of tho newspaper that
Prof. Palmer made his great and fool
ish mistake when ho refused to bo In
terviewed on his address, whether tho
reporter was from the yellowest or the
whitest ot Iloston's newspapers.
Of his rental ks that ho claims wcto
distorted, end which should under any
circumstances Interest young women
and mothers Prof. Palmer says:
"On Juno lfl I delivered a Com

These I described from tho parents'

came paper requesting nn Interview."
Here Is whero tho enorable piofes-
tor Hindu his first mistake:
"The Interview I refused, saying
that I had glcn no such address nnd
I wished my namo kept altogether out
ef print."
Then camo the Ino liable result:
"Tlio following Sunday, howctor.
the bubble was fully blown, tlio paper
printing n column ot pretended inter,
view, generously adorned with head'
lines and quotation marks, setting
forth In gay colors my 'advocacy of
flirtation.' "
When Prof. Palmer began to reap
tho whirlwind of his own error ot re
fusing to stato what ho wished tho
public to understand ns regards his
opinions, ho had to take notlcn and
this Is what he says ot it:
"And now tho dirty bubble began to
float. Not being n constant reader of
this particular paper, I knew nothing
of its mlBchlet until a week had gone
by. Then remonstrances began lo bo
tent to me from all parts of tho coun
try, denouncing my hoary frlvOllty.
From half tho States ot the Union
they camo, and In such numbers that
few days of the past month havo been
freo from a morning Insult. My mall
has been crowded with solemn or do
rlslvo editorials, with distressed let
ters, abusive postal cards, and occa
sionally tho leaflet of somu rocletv
for the prevention of vlco. Its slgnlf
lean passages marked. During nil this
hullabaloo I have been silent. Tho
story was already widespread when
my attention waa first culled to It. It
struck me then as merely a gigantic
piece of summer silliness, arguing
emptiness of tho editorial mind. I felt,
too, how easily a man makes himself
ridiculous In attempting to prove that
ho is not n fit subject for ridicule, nnd
how In tho long run character Is Its
own best vindication. I should ac
cordingly prefer to remain silent still.
"But tho story, llko all that touches
on questions of sex, has shown a
strnngo persistency. My friends nro

no such Incident tins occurred, nnd
that, now, when nil of us have had our
laugh, tho racket had better cease.
"Hut such persistent pursuit of an
unoffending person throws Into strong
relief four defects In our newspapers,
and especially In tho attitude of our
people tow-nrd them. In tho first place,
tho plan ot reporting practiced hcru
Is a mistaken one, nnd Is adopted, so
far ns I know, nowhero else on earth.
Our pnpcis rarely try to glvo an ord
ered outline ot nn address. They
either report verbatim, or moro usual
ly tho reporter Is expected to gather
n lot of taking phrases, icgardlcss of
connection.
"I was In general known to bo n
quiet person, with no liking for notor
iety, a toucher of ono ot tho gravest
ot subjects In n dignified university. I
hnd Just published a largely circulat
ed biography, presenting nn exalted
Ideal of marriage. It struck the press
of tho country as a diverting thing to
revcrso all thin In a day, to plcturo mo
ns favoring looso relations of tho
sexes, nnd to attribute to mo buffoon
ery from which cvdry decent man re
colls. ' ''
"Again, our people seem growing In
capablo ot taking a Joke or rather
of taking nnythlng else. Tho lino
which parts lightness from reality Is
becoming blurred. My lively remark
has scned as tho subject for porten
tous sermonizing, whllo tho earnest
r.ppeal made later In my address to
look upon marriage seriously, as that
which gles life Its best meaning, has
been either passed by In sllenco or
mentioned ns giving additional point
to my nonsense, Tho passion for
fncitlnusucss Is taking tlio heart nut
of our coplo nnd killing truo merrl
mont. Tho 'funny column' hns so long
I'scd marriage nnd Its nccompanlmciits
as n standing Jest that It is becoming
difficult lo think of It In any other
way, nnd tho divorce court appears ns
merely the natural end of tho comedy.
"Tho part of this affair, however,
which should glvo us gravest concern
Is the lazy credulty of tho public.
"Nothing In nil this curious business
has surprised mo moro than tho ease
with which Iho American pcoplo nn
bo hoaxed. Ono would oxnect decent
pel sons to put two nnd two together,
and not lo lot a story gain ncccptanco

nut perhaps I too nm pn.Amerlcnn.
Perhaps I too might rest natUnnd wllh
rnylng 'I saw It In print.' Only then
i siionid no unreasonable lo complain
of bad newspapers."
If Professor Palmer had slated tho
facts clearly to tho reporters who had
Intcrvlowcd him nnd had then been
misrepresented, ho would have hnd
