Secretary of War Lamont has ever done
is his adoption of a new regulation con-
corning the lowering of the national

down Immediately after the firing of the
sunset gum Its descent is now marked
with a dignity and decorum becoming
the country's. ensign. Under the new
rule, the usual retreat call is sounded
and then the gun is fired. The band
Immediately commences to play 'The
ar-Spangled Banner" which is contin-

flag touch the ground until the last chord

BE RATIONAL,


Cecil Brown, member for this
Island, gave notice in the National
Senate yesterday that he proposed
later to introduce an act to provide
for and regulate the importation
and sale of opium and preparations
thereof. Under the present sta
tutes the drug is a contraband. But
its importation, sale and use are
practically restricted or limited only
by the demand for it. The traffic
is a scandal, laugh at the law.
Effort to keep out the drug, how
ever earnest, is at best at farce, an
expensive, hopeless, resultless
combat.
n notivv vi uu aCr PurPosluS
consideration of plans to end the
scandal and farce and to attempt to
remedy a great evil draws fire. The
responses are not german.
Those who have arraigned them
selves in opposition to a
piece Of suggested legislation were
scarcely expected to argue to the
question. They sneered when
Senator Brown, in urging the Cable
Subsidy at the special session said
he would present an act on opium
to assist in producing the needed
additional revenue. Perhaps it
was thought the gentleman would
thus be frightened from his intent,
but he is apparently not Of that
sort of timber. What may also
astonish some of the howlers is to
fetch up with a man who keeps his
word.
AT any rate the proposition,
which, by the way is by no means
a new one, is squarely placed be-
fore the Legislature. It has been
in sight of the people all the time.
The manner in which it is received
is what is deemed by THE STAR as
worthy comment at this time.
Broad intimations of the basest
character are speared at those who
are suspected of even willingness to
look into" the matter. These are
mingled with ludicrous threats and
shrieks from the original "Baby
Act" They assume, as they" al
ways do, that their view of a given
proposition is the only side that
should be given the thought or at
tention of an instant. This attitude
makes their utterances nonsensical.
There is at hand a situation that
must be faced, a problem the must
be solved. We hnd condition and
a serious one. If opium is to be
made tabu, let every effort of the Of
fetal, the legislator and the citizen
be exerted to that end. There
must be some strong countenance
10 its importation; there must be
some sentiment not against it, else
it would not be dealt in or used
freely.
In refusing absolutely to listen
the reformer bat lends aid to those
in the traffic. And some startling
hints as to those in the traffic are at
times heard upon the streets.
Don't wall and wave the we'll
worn Hawaiian Bloody Shirts.
Don't be fanatical. Don't talk of
taking up rifles against Senators
Brown, McCandless, Hooking and
their friends, supporters, admirers
and sympathizers, because for one
thing some of these gentlemen are
pretty fair shots themselves not
much averse to fighting and not
entirely unacquainted with it, and
for another thing because such talk
is foolish and silly. Later THE
STAR will enter into detailed dis
cussion of this question and now
invites communications upon the
subject, which the same must be
brief or they will not be accepted.
In the meantime, let us all be
rational.
