RESPONSIBILITY OF EDITORS.
BY the Editor of the Ladies' World.

George William Curtis laid down
the unalterable law of editorshlp
when he said that man should not
do anything as an editor that he
would not do as gentleman.
No gentleman would introduce
into your home a conversation on a
strictly private medical topic, or re-
late stories of well-known persons
that were palpably false. And no
editor has a right to seek your com
pany by such means, even though
they are contained in a publication
behind which he is to large extent
hidden and protected.
You have grown careful about your
food, your milk supply, your meats,
your vegetables, and the slightest
thing that is questionable now leads
to vigorous complaint. But what
about the mental food for your fam
lily, the reading for your sons and
daughters, and even your own maga-
zines and newspapers? When you
find rottenness, do you follow the
dictates of your conscience and your
judgment, or do you calmly accept
1t as the natural product of new
age?
There is nothing new in the stan
dards of decent editing and healthy
reading. The best and the cleanest
In current literature is hardest to
secure; 1t means more in thought,
effort and money. The sensations
which are exploited before you are
not only exaggerations in themselves,
but are essentially cheap and false
in their price marks. Furthermore,
the are doubly expensive in that
they destroy the appetite for sane
literature and accurate information,
just as tainted food too highly sea-
soned will injuriously affect the
whole physical and moral structure.
Homes in which erotic stories and
scandal romances are read, be they
in books or magazines or news
papers, are not the homes that are
contributing to the proper manhood
and womanhood of the world-are
not the homes that will supply the
leaders in thought and action for to-
morrow. These vulgar sensations
taint the mind, and a tainted mind
means tainted soul.
Therefore, who taints his soul
may be said to throw dirt in Gods
face"
Give an account of thy steward
ship, for thou mayst be no longer
steward" This was the message
brought to AmeriCs a few weeks ago
by the Bishop of London, a modern
leader of the people, the first Bishop
of London to preach in America, and
he gave his message to a congrega-
tion of millionaires. Just before he
sailed he was called to see a man
whose name was known throughout
the world. This man had just been
given six weeks to live, and the whole
matter of responsibility and pride
came before him vividly, alarmingly.
What was fame or great wealth in
the presence of death sentence,
only six weeks away?
1T is my contention" said the
Bishop, that man who believes
that he is more than a steward is as
mad as a Bishop of London who
thinks he owns the world" Again,
Anything you have is not your own.
We are simply stewards, not owners"
Editors are the stewards of the re-
sponsibility which they owe to their
readers; you are the stewards of the
responsibility which you owe to
yourselves and to your homes.

his assumption of the most valuable
crown in Europe. Taken at a jewell

Is recorded as being worth e1,G00,,

fac-simile of the Spanish and the

is the Cars diadem, which is sup

soon as it was seen that a picture was
to be taken 1t is from among these
men that the highlander class is re-
cruited, sneak thieves bred and Grim
inaIs made. Most of them are opium
smokers, spending their time playing
games in the reeking joints during the
day, the losing players paying for the
pills for the winners. At night they
pit their skill against that of the more
industrious of their eountrymen, fleeing
them at the pai-ka or fan-tan tables.
All of them are known to the police.
Throughout Chinatown there is
scarcely tenement in which at any
time of the day or night some opium
smoking is not going on, more or less
publicly, and yet the vice is on the
decline, or supposed t. be. Quite re-
Gently an association wasiformed among
the Honolulu Chinese to work for the
suppression of opium and many habitual
smokers joined and announced that the
drug was to be given up. The recipe
for some especially noxious tasting brew
was distributed around among the
smokers and the medicine when taken
regularly was guaranteed to cure the
habit and stop the poppy-eraving with
in three months. Many Cinnamon be-
gan to use it, encouraged in their en-
deavor to break themselves of the habit
by their Consul. A good many of them
claimed that the dope was actually
Iessening their desire for the pipe and
the demand for the treacly stuff began
to fall off, Perhaps it may be UNJUST
to say that the dealers in opium and
the proprietors of the dives were re-
sponsible, but at any rate about ten
DAYS ago report began to circulate
among the Chinese that certain death
awaited the ones who persisted in TAX
ing this opium antidote. The report,
which spread like wildfre among the
Chinese. was that news had been re-
ceived from China that those who had
attempted to cure themselves of opium
smoking in this way had all died sud
denly within three months after be-
ginning the treatment. Throughout the

HONOLOLU'S HIGHWAYS and BYNAYS.
Among the Opium Dens of Chinatown -Many
Whites Among the Smokers---The Kodak
Drives All to Cover.

Fifty white men in Honolulu sshit
the pipe' in the opium dives that
exist to the number of a score or so
in the heart of Chinatown. So one of
the Chinese habitues of the Joints in
formed an Advertiser investigator last
week. And from the look of the Joint
where the information was given it
was rather easy to believe that any
white man who would go there would
do anything. This place was in the
rear of the row of dirty tenements
facing mauka on Pauahi street, near
River. Every room in the back of
that building on the ground floor ex-
cept one is an opium joint and on the
day of the visit was crowded with
Chinese, many of whom were busiIy
inhaling the white fumes from the
burning dope or sleeping off their de-
bauches. Tucked away in the corners
of hunks, laid out on mats on the floor
and even slid out of the limited way
under the hunks were poppy-soaked
figures, pallid-faeed, and in many in
stances bare-footed and ragged, deep
in sleep, dreaming of Elysium, while
over and about them swar1fed the teem-
ing other patrons, and proprietors of
the dives.
There were no white men there, at
least in evidence. White dope iends
do not expose themselves in the care
less way that the Chinese do. Some

OF them have remnant of shame left
and seek the upper rooms of the dives
on their visits, while all of them en-
deavor to keep out of the way of
the police, who pay domiciliary calls
very frequently to these places. China
men can smoke and drug themselves as
they will, but the police arrest whites
and Hawaiians found in these Joints
and lock them up for vagrancy. Then
the deprivation of the drug proves to
be thousand times more punishment
for them than all the other penalties
the magistrate can impose.
There is nothing attractive about an
opium dive. Dark, sinking with the
exhalations of those who overcrowd the
little rooms, floors and windows dirt
begrimed and filthy, and everywhere
the reek and gurgle of the opium, there
IS nothing to remind the casual visitor
of the fairy tales that are sometimes
related of the palaces of Nirvaua.
where amid Oriental splendor the white
slaves of the drug indulge themselves
IN vice. AS matter of fact the opium
fends among the whites are less fastid-
lous than the Chinese themselves and
with even less excuse. The photograph
published herewith of the entrances to
the dives in the one particular build
ing, gives but faint conception of
the squalor of the place. Prior TO the
