MARRING HONOLULU.
When the building ordinance comes up again, for discussion by the
new board of supervisors; the members should see to it that there arc
sections in it regulating, and af far as possible repressing, the billboard
nuisance. All over the United States public sentiment m cities has been
aroused against these uglifying posters, and many cities, especially those
which, like Honolulu, take pride in their -scenic beauty, have 1 found
means of practically suppressing the nuisance. "We do not want the
visiting tourist 's impressions pf Honolulu scenery to contain a mingling
of flaring advertisements with the 'palms, poinsettas, botigainvillcas,
lawns, architecturally beautiful homes and matchless colors of sky and
.sea which help to make Hawaii famous. One doesn't sec billboards m
Pasadena, and they are as much out of place here as m a park. Who
would think of allowing them in a park?
It has been claimed that no law could be drafted to prohibit tlicm.
But during the past year several American cities have found means of
practically doing so without violating the constitution.

The Poet Philosopher
O bring along your ice and snow, and let ripsnorting breezes blow,
as in .the good old days 1 I like fhy winters cold and bleak, with stormy
winds that rave and shriek and swat us forty ways. When
REAL I was young, old Winter came in early Fall, and played
WINTER the game till some time in July; he piled his snowdrifts
in the lane, and wrote his trade mark on the pane, and
made the feathers fly. He was a burjy, noisy wight, who painted tilings
by day and night, and read the riot act ; and people gloried in the snow,
and children mourned to see him go, when his backbone was cracked.
But Winter nowadays is kind, and ladylike and quite refined, a thing of
bows and smirks ; he comes kotowing to your door, and makes a healthy
man so sore he roasts the whole blamed works. If Winter springs a
little frost he thinks his reputation's lost; your pardon he entreats; he
tries to fix things with a thaw, and stands around and wags his jaw and
chews the rag and bleats. All too effeminate he's grown ; he has resign
ed his frozen throne, his manners loud and rude ; he wears a shirtwaist
made of gauze ,and at our doors he wags his jaws, Dame Nature's spin
dling dude. O, send along your ice and snow, and let the doggone bliz
zards blow, and whoop to beat the band ! The winters of the time long
gone produced big men of force and brawn, who gave to us this land I

Honolulu is included as a place of call in several of the biggest ex
fnr this winter. Manv mees of the Literary Digest
of December 17 are devoted to an article on "Winter Travel South
wards." Five tours have been arranged by the Chicago, Union Pacific
and Northwest lines, one of which includes a side trip to liononuu. in
January, February and March the tours department of the same roads
will personally conduct tours to Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands, the
rates including hotel reservations. From Seattle on February 2 the
Grand Trunk Pacific steamer Prince Rupert will make a special tourist
trip to the Hawaiian Islands, which includes a visit to the crater. A
Boston company plans a personally conducted tour around the world
which starts from New York January 21 and, touching at Hawaii, ar
rives at San Francisco July 3. Another company plans a similar trip,
leaving New York January 7 and arriving at San Francisco June 22. A
year hence the Hamburg-American steamer Cleveland will make two
cruises around the world, sailing from New York on November 1, cast
ward for San Francisco, and returning from San Francisco westward
to New York.
From all of which, together with the regular steamer traffic, Hawaii
may count upon a record year of tourist visitation. Honolulu should
see that nothing be lacking to make, all-comers rejoice that they came
and resolve to come again.
AQUATIC SPORTS REVIVAL.
It is gratifying to see an agitation .start on the mainland for the pro
motion of aquatic sports. -These have a natural home in Hawaii from
whence some able exponents of rowing and swimming have aided in
giving the islands fair fame abroad. For many years various boat clubs
have kept up a good stroke of interest in aquatics, primarily with the
oar and secondarily in the cultivation of natatorial .skill. Latterly the
Outrigger club has enriched water sports by reviving the ancient Ha
waiian forms thereof. What is needed here is a consolidation of aqua
tic interests which will result in establishing ample facilities for the va
rious kinds of aquatics, with expert instruction, and providing a rota
tion of water frolics to extend the year round. Aquatics might be
made one of the perennial attractions of Honolulu for the world, and
Regatta Day as bright and compelling a lodestar in the calendar as
Floral Parade Day.
Jacob H. Schiff, the New York banker who helped Japan to raise
$500,000,000 to carry on the war with Japan, has come in for a roasting
by Japanese newspapers, both vernacular and English. It is on account
of a speech he made at a banquet given by Consul General Kokicht Mid
2imo at New York in honor of the birthday of the Emperor of Japan.
Mr. Schiff declared that the Americans "have regretted that Japan has
recently found it necessary to enter into-alliances creating a situation in
the Far East which we fear can not but result to the detriment of Ameri
can interests, and if we have frankly exprest our niisgivings because of
this, we have done so solely in the earnest desire to prevent a weakening
of the friendship which has existed since many decades between Japan
and the United States. We know that alliances like those recently en
tered into by Japan are not likely to last, and we calmly await the time
when the Government and people of Japan, with whom we can not but
live in peace and friendship, shall once more be free to meet us in a
spirit of perfect mutual confidence and co-operation." For these, re
marks the Japanese papers accuse him of unfriendliness to Japan, and
they cast up to him the welcome he received in Japan when he visited
that country after the war. President Taft, the Literary Digest points
out, does not seem to share Mr. Schiff 's poor opinion of the treaty, as he
says in his message : "In the Russo-Japanese agreement relating to Man
churia, signed July 4, 1910, this Government was .gratified to note an
assurance of continued peaceful conditions in that region and the re
affirmation of the policies with respect to China to which the United
States, together with all other interested Powers, are alike solemnly
committed."
A" successful cotton harvester, a machine that picks cotton, has at
last been invented, or rather perfected, its inventor having been work
ing on the problem for twenty-five years, according to an article in
World's Work for December. It is in the nick of time for the Hawai
ian cotton industry. The inventor is Angus Campbell, of Whom the
World's Work contributor says in part: "With little money and less
encouragement, with no shop facilities near the field, and amidst the
scoffs of the unbelievers, the inventor spent his vacation every year in
the cotton fields of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, where the thermo
meter is above 90 degrees and a white man's patience is short. Truly,
inventing is about 10 per cent genius, and 90 per cent hard work."
President Taft gave effect to a brilliant idea when he formed a news
paper cabinet, only let it he hoped the members will not become infect?
