Of course liberal appropriation should tbe made for the Hawaiian band.

Ills success In this lino Is the hope of 'the Republican party two years hence. The Ono Hundred Thousand will not materialize from efforts from the outside. Development and realization of tho schemo must come through co operation and endeavor from within. See to It that tho activities, Individu ally nnd collectively, keep pace with ,the glittering talk along tho 100,000 line.

DECEMBER 5, 1010 support of tlio Hawaiian band ns a public Institution. Tlio municipal band If kept up to Its old-tlmo standard, serves n three-Cold purpose. It glcs tho pcoplo good music free, without in any way Interfering with tho enterprises conducted for profit It perpetuates tho music of Hawaii, tho Hawaiian songs nnd tho instru mental selections that, under the In fluence of the cheap theater nre in danger of passing out of existence. The Hnwallnn band Is nn Institution for presorting the folk lore anil cul ture of old Hawaii ns expressed in Its beautiful music, that can bo duplicat ed In no other plnco on earth It gives tho public renditions from tho world's masters of music, and Is tho only sourco the gcnernl public has for obtaining real music without pay ing n high price. And it stands to ren- Bon that music of this character should bo put in tho hands of n first class musical orgnnlratliln, one that will not murder It. Let us not forget Hint tho distinct ively Hawaiian music can bo kept nllvo In these dn)s only through tho Hawaiian bWl. Tho best wny to keep In step with the progress of n now cm, is to carry nlong- the most cnmmcndablo and pop ular features of tho old. The Hu lie tin welcomes tho Mid Pacific Mngnzlno ns tho Intcst addi tion to the publications purposed to benefit Hawaii. Alexander Iluino Ford has brought forth n production of which Hawaii rany feel proud. Tho January number contains 1G4 pages of reading matter and many half tone cuts lllustruttvo of Hawaii nnd the Pacific, all on the most expenstvo gloss paper. No expense seems to hnvo been spared to mnko tho Mid Pacific Mngnzlno nil output of high stnndnrd In tho printer's nrt.
