"I refer to llio extraordinary nl leant,
lo tlio onlnMtcr iiml sometimes vl
clous form of destructive criticism wa
continually direct nt ench otlier, nnd
nt uny proposition or movement thnt
Is stiKRcsted for the ndvnncoment of
the Territory. Thin destructive criti
cism Is Renernlly colled 'knocklnR,' nnd
from my experience of many cities. In
mnny different countries, I hnvo re
Rrctfully come to the concluidon thnt
In Hawaii we have. Rome of the fluent
nnd most nrtlstlc "knockers' thnt may
he found, probably, In nny city In tho
world.
"Hardly a single movement Is stnrt
i'd or proposed for the public welfare
thnt doe not dlvldo thin community
Into many factions, most of then.l
secklnR by fair, nnd sometimes un
fair, tnctlcs to olitnln n sclllsh advan
tage over the other, mcnnwhllo con
ducting n cnmpnlgn of hitter 'knocking'
nnd personal slnnder that makes Ha
waii present n pitiful spectacle tn'tho
outside world, nnd usually ImH the ef
fect of rohblnrr the entire community
of the fruits of the crforts of Us public-spirited
citizens.
"Thcs tnctlcs, gentlemen, besides
being, tn say the least, unfair to tho
community, arc foolish to n decree.
"Honolulu hns suffered In the past,
nnd will continue to suffer In thofu
turo Just so long ns theso mcthodsfira
pursued. To n went extent, destruc
tive, criticism Is common to most small
self-centered communities, but Hono
lulu Ih rapidly growing, nnd Is even
now emerging from the chrysalis of n
small town to the full-grown stuto of,
I believe. In the nenr future, u largo
nnd Important city, nnd I contend we
enn no longer be satisfied to afford
nmuscinent to the outside world by
such destructive advertising ns I have
pointed out.
"I believe no truer criticism of Ha
waii was ever made than that of Jack
London when he said we were provin
cial. Oentlemen, wo nro more than
provincial wp nre villagers In our
contentment nnd simplicity
"We need waking up; we need to
realize the necessity of presenting nn
undivided nnd unanimous front to tha
outside world, whom we nro trying to
nttrnet to this beautiful and generous
country, nnd I, for one, bcllcvo thnt
If enthusiasm nnd tho proper spirit
are maintained by thin Ad Club, thnt
It will be one of the greatest factors
In propagating tho Immediate neces
sity of stopping all forms of 'knock
ing' nnd substituting In Its stead n
steady, conscientious and unanimous
boost for Hawaii, everywhere und nil
tho time.
"A culm nml generous campaign of
this kind, starting with the Ad Club
und spreading through nil the vnrloui
bodies nnd Individuals bf this Terri
tory, would In n short tlmo link tha
name nf Hawaii with progress and
prosparlty to such nn extent that num
bers of people will bo nttrncted hero
who at tho present time know us only
through nn Indistinct nssoclntlon with
tho Sandwich Islands and Cnptaln
Cook.
"This brings me to n form of adver
tising Huvvall docs need that of moro
people.
"I assume, thnt the mnjorlty of us
lire In the business of gain, nnd that
means moro gain, for In business, us
In anything else, there Is no stnndlng
still Wc must advance or we recede.
"I think you will ngreo with mo thnt
tho buying public of Honolulu, us far
as you nnd I nro concerned. Is from u
purchasing point of view snturuted,
und ns In order to Increnso fculns vva
must make more sales, It follows there,
fore that wc must sell to moro people.
"Now, we enn not (excepting, of
course, tho staple exporting Industries
of the Territory) sell to tho mnlnlund,
but wo can attract the mainland to
Hawaii, anil so Increase our popula
tion, mill, I will venture to say, rap
idly, too, If the proper spirit Is shown
uiul the proper methods used.
"(Icntlemen, I bcllcvo that opportu
nity In (ho shape of the attention of
thn world will bo centered on these Is
lands more und more, nnd It behooves
us to bo ready, have our house In or
der, stop kliocklng and boost, nnd
boost nil the time, for Hawaii.
".Mr. President, I suggest that tho
attention of this Ad Club bo not con
lined to advertising In any restricted
sense, but should also Include tlo con
sideration of tho advertising of Ha
waii, which menns taking u hand tn
any necessnry reform or movement
that shall tend to mnko Hawaii more
attractive to tho homc-seckcr und tho
tourist.
."As you gentlemen doubtlessly know,
there Is an uttempt being mndo In
this city to organize an enlarged and
thoroughly representative chamber of
commerce or association that shall bo
opeh to any respectable member of the
community, nnd thnt shall have us its
object tho bringing together and con
centrating. In useful channels, of nil
the various fnctlons und efforts which
now, to a great extent, are antagonis
tic, uiul which overlap In their func
tions This Is In lino with that which
u number of cities on tho mulnlarid
havo found successful to n degreo, and
I bellevo tho Idea Is worthy of the
endorsement of this Ad Club, nnd I
therefore propose that the following
resolution be adopted by this club and
copies furnished, us a mutter of en
couragement, to tho committee that Is
lit present working on the formation of
''' proposed representative associa
tion. " 'Ilesolvcd, That tho Honolulu Ad
Club heartily endorses the formation
of u thoroughly representative associ
ation, whoso constitution shall bo such
im to admit to membership, with nom
inal ilifcs, representatives of all Inter
ests und nil classes, without distinc
tion i nnd whoso nlm shnll be to pro
mote a high Ideal of civic duty nnd
endeavor, nnd to encouruge n spirit
nnd willingness to work for tho ml
vunccment of this Territory, for tho
"lovo of Hawaii.
