Thrtc things are great
Conscience and will,
And courage to fulfill
The duties they create.
Anonymous,
One resolution should be made be
fore December shop early
Say good-bjc to the telephone poles
In the city streets Muy they never
return
The next Honolulnn 'will be n pas
senger Btenmor arriving In time to
celebrate tho Hundred Thousand
Honolulu
Perhaps the reason for the Pacific
fleet having missed Honolulu this
year Is, that Honolulu has never asked
Tor It to come
President Dliu nppearB to have
established the right of his 'Repub
lic" to live, In the good old-fashioned
Mexican way
Hawaii will not lose any more In
dividends next year than has been
wasted In unprofitable outside invest
ments during tho year passed
Get out and do something for the
betterment of Honolulu The elec
tion campaign should hae Battened
the desire of ever) one to cnll others
names.
Manoa Insurgency menns Progress
and as usual there are malcontents
who object because they hno been
unable to hold up the work for the
common good.
One of the misfortunes that follow
some people Is Inability to go for
ward In the work of the present with
out forever stopping to haggle over
the differences of the past
Lest jou forget It Is nlwnys your
duty to help kill the mosquito, and
there's money In It for tho men, wo
men and children who expect to mko
this city their permanent home
Brazil has built a cnpttol city that
Is the wonder of tho world It has
uUo supplied history with an incident
of navy administration that will be a
neter-tndlng source of new comic op
eras Opponents of the Manoa Insurgents
rre free to organize, themselves Into
the Do Nothing Club with the list of
ellglbles those who don't know
enough to go In when It ruins In Ha
noi. Members of the present Board of
Supervisors could well afford to mark
the closing days of their official ox
Istence by carrying through to com
pletlon every item of progressho leg
Islation that bus been Inaugurated by
and properly belongs to present city
administration
How much more would I h Mc
Cundless gain In popular strength It
he would forget the fact that he Is n
parttzun and get In and work for tho
common good with and through tho
officers selected by tho people to
handle public affairs Tho major por
tion of every good citizen's time
should bo dovoted to aggressive ac
tivity for the general welfare.
Only once in American history has
the party that passed n tariff bill
been victorious In the Congressional
elections following The Congress
that passed the Ulngley bill was sus
tained because the Country was on
the verge of war with Spain No
wonder the movement to put all tar
iff matters In the hands of a com
mission is steadily gaining ground
After all the excitement of the
Hllo wharf license, the Legislature
will probably be asked to appropr
iate for tho construction of tho vvliirf
In a location that will not require
u costly approach Should the re
quest bo made, the Territory cannot
invest public funds to better ndvant-
bge than in keeping its waterfront

HIGH COST OF LIVING ISWOILD
Increased cost of living Is n com
plaint that Is by no means conllned to
the United Stntcs The troublo Is ep
idemic, and found In the least pros
perous and the most remote purta of
the world
We in Hawaii think of Japan and
China na among the nntlons of tho
earth where living Is cheapest, and
least liable to Increase. Human life
there Is cheap, dirt cheap, and a day's
labor can be had for a song Hut tho
cost of living Is steadily advancing
In those countries. Some of our own
Japanese residents who felt that the)
had saved up a comictenc) for tho
remainder of their lives, have re
turned to their home country only to
find that living costs more than It did
In the dn)s when they left home to
make their fortunes, and the) are not
so wealthy as the) supposed
Sccrotar) James U Ilarton of the
American Hoard of Missions was In
terviewed recently and attested to tho
facts of living's high cost throughout
tho length and breadth of the lands
whore tho foreign missionaries oper
ate. Mr. Ilarton called attention to n
letter Just received from Madura,
South India, stutlng that In the past
five )curs prices of building material
nnd labor huvo increased forty per
cent and the prices of nil food stuffs
In Hint region advanced during tho
samo period twenty per cent. Speok
ing of other countries, Mr. Ilarton
said: "Another letter from Coylon
compares tho present cost of articles
In constant use In the home with
their cost ton years ago, showing an
advance In prices of more than eigh
teen per cent This letter lias como
from n city in the Interior of Asia
Minor, In Turkey, nnd reports that
wages, wheat, tho common staple of
food nnd vegetables have Increased
in value more than twenty per cent
In bIx jears
"Still another letter from Koordls
tan, In tho far cast of Turkey next
the Persian border, tells tho samo
story. These throe communications
are from wldely-Bepnrnted regions In
China, speaking of the distress tanned
the poor there through the rise In

Now that tho bitter campaign

to recal! that the attacks nnido

just attacks. Mr. Roosovclt ont
ered tho campaign In response to

went Into tho fight to help put

cnmpulgn to the high satisfaction
of tho Interests,
What progressive Republican
would have vnlucd n victory won
In this manner? Yet It does not
stand to reason that the old
gunrd could have carried the
State. This discredited combina
tion had persistently fought Gov
ernor Hughes' reform policies. It
did ever) thing In Its power to
prevent the passage of tho law
against racing It defeated direct
primary legislation in spite of
Hughes' beet efforts It wnrrcd
against the corporation reforms
put through by tho Governor with
tho steady support of tho urousid
public Had It ruled at Saratoga
the old guard could not have ral
lied the progressive voters of tho
Republican pnrty to Its ticket.
Its candidate for Governor would
hnve been defeated by a far great
er majority than that by which
Stimson lost
Mr Roosevelt took up the lead
ership laid down by Hughes when
tho hitter became a Justice of the
United States Supremo Court. Ho
did It for tho public good. He
would hnvo been execrated ns a
craven or n turncoat If he hud
not gone Into the fight. Ho did
his best. He deserves commend
ation for what he did
This Is n decldidly rational way of
looking at tho subject und Is un
doubtedly fair to nil concerned
Roosevelt In his own peculiar way got
Into the fight nnd did his duty as a
citizen, Just as he would hnve done
had ho never been President.

Ond block of bltullthlc pavement,
to cov$r a section of low or fort street
to cost In the neighborhood of five
thousand dollars, this sum to come
from tho monthl) allowance made to
carry on mail work In the city of
Honolulu, is n proposition that will
undoubted!) be brought to the ntten
lion of thoso assembled City and
County Supervisors who gather ntthe

Chairman Qulnn of the road nnd
bridges cnmmltleo does not propose
to permit the preBcnt board to retire

without liming nt least one block of
modern street pavement to their ere
dlt
While Qucnn modestly admits that
the present board has accomplished
more along lines of road building than
any bodv of municipal legislators
since Iho Inception of City nnd Coun
ty government, tho Supervisor Is far
from being content with ln)lng back
tixin past laurels.

to deliver Iho goods or rather Hip

slender purse of the City and County
of Honolulu. Tho locnl company nt
which ho stands nt the head Is prepar
ed with a modern plant to place n
pavement on Fort street or any oth
er thoroughfare for Hint matter that
Is said will convert perilous lanes
nboundlng In chuck holes Into streets
over which Iho citizen mny well ex
pand his chest through civic prldo.
Had Supervisors A) lctt and Cox been

Tuesday evening Qulnn would have
sprung a resolution calling for the
clt) entering Into n contract with the
pnvlng compiny for the ln)lng of one
block of pavement, beginning nt the
Intersection of Queen nnd extending

Should siieh n measure finally suc

It is claimed that tho pavement can
be laid within ten dajs after tho sign
