HONOLULU TIMES

AUGUST,
ANNE M. PRESCOTT,
Editor and Proprietor.
1910
no true peace in the family or in
the nation; and, lacking peace,
ruin ensues. That is logic.
An intemperate one is unsound,
lacks balance, and so, cannot reason
cannot make a Judge, for
instance of an intemperate man.
We all know what these things
mean.
So, it is so far, a very warm
season, and only July.
Bishop Willis is fifty years in
orders today. It must be a very
quiet life at Tonga. But it was
quiet here, too, on his arrival; all
was in a narrow compass at that
time "June, 1872." Honolulu
was then indeed a country village.
But it must be something more
than dull in Nukualofa, Tonga.
It will not be dull on
with the Young Cafe and its
music, and Manager Cohen and
his new theater. It is a nice little
theater, not so very small, and
certainly has an excellent locality,
with good surroundings to keep
it a first-class theater. There will
always be the Y. M. C. A. and
the Young Hotel, with the fine
Elite Building opposite, and always
with its beautiful
park. So, the theater has a fine
environment to give it an impetus.
Good shows are always acceptable
with the general public. A
poor show is in bad taste, and
yields no income or favor, finally.
The doors must close in due time,
and the dues paid, from lack of
principle!
A wicked play, whether drama
or moving picture, is truly a bad
investment for the owner, and can
be of no use in this city of Honolulu.
It would be an ignorant stranger
that would undertake any such
show here. This city is closely
but quietly safeguarded, as far as
may be, from vicious influences.
We must hope that the Curfew
law will continue to be an all-alive
ordinance. Nine o'clock is
none too early for growing children
to be asleep in their homes.

How many faces we all loved to
see on the streets, have left us in
the past few months, gone silently
out of our lives anl our interests,
never to return.
A thoughtful and sober-minded
man of experience said to us :
"But no one ever comes back to
tell us anything about the othei
place what it is like." And he
was very serious. But if we pray
and trust and ask for faith.
That company has been re
hearsing for many hours, getting
in readiness for the opening, tonight.
Truly they work. (The
New Orpheum.'
Supt. Rath is a tall man, and
from the report sent in, looks like
he is doing a tall work at Palama.
July 8 We are glad to read today
that Miss Davison looks
closely after neglected and hungry
children, sometimes maltreated
and cannot defend themselves.
One abused little one ought to
arouse the attention of any judge
and jury.
July 13 Who could ask for a
better set of men than the Rapid
Transit; they are a prohibition
and a promotion lot, always trying
to prevent anyone from jumping
on and off the cars at wrong
times, always directing strangers
how to get the most ride for one
five cents civil, patient and alert,
losing no time, and attending to
the work before them as if the
car really belonged to therm.
July 14 Yes, these are, to us,
all warm days; but Prof. Scott
says, not more so than usual at
this season. We do not murmur
when thinking of other cities!
Why will people venture to fly
only to so often be dashed to their
death? How many of late, truly
terrible to read.
When we go in the Cafe, we
forget our coffee, looking at the
beautiful windows of palms; they
tell us the electric lights there
make them flourish; anyway, we
see they grow something favors
them.
Perhaps they want to be tall
like the trees opposite in the park.

My! how those trees grow, eh?
Fine.
More thanlikely they want to
please the Manager, that gives to
them pleasant look as he walks
about, for he is fond of plant life.
Everybody, in fact, likes the manager,
for he spares no pains to
make every guest feel at home
and comfortable. All notice his
thoughtful kindness, early and
late. Not strange that strangers
like to go in there.
Kindness wins the world over.
Yes, and true unselfish kindness
win the world over to us, strangers
or old friends; it reacts, rebounds,
so to speak. Mr.
upstairs is the same; so the
Hotel is doubly favored in its
management.
July 16 Wray Tayolr, formerly
a resident of Honolulu, but for
the past ten years in San Francisco,
died yesterday morning, a
cablegram to that effect having
been received in this city. He
gave the first organ recital in the
Islands and rang the first chime
of bells. He was the assistant at
the dedication of the organs of St.
Andrew's, Central Union, Oahu
College, Hilo Foreign Church,
Makawao Foreign Church,
Church, and
Chapel.
Mr. Taylor won a host of
friends in Honolulu for his many
kind and most faithful offices at
St. Andrew's and other churches,
always ready to help. He will
never be forgotten by his friends
in this Territory. His chillren
have inherited his talent for music
and one daughter is the able organist
of St. Andrew's, where her
father served for twenty years.
