PATRIOTISM OR PREJUDICE?

Editor Star: Most people if asked
what great event is connected with
next Tuesday June is, would answer
that it is the cate set for the great
Republican convention al Chicago,
which will decide the contest for the
| Presidential nomination; here and
there one would remember that it is
also the centennial anniversary of
that June IS, 1912, when the United
States declared war against Great
Britain.
A proposed celebration of that an
niversary in New York has resulted
in the following incident:
"NEW YORK, May ia tempest
has been raised in military society
circles by proposal made by Colonel
Asa Bird Gardiner that the British
flag be raised ana saluted at the bat
terry on June IS, the centenary of the
war of 1872. Colonel Gardiner sug-
gests that the act would be one of
international courtesy and would
show to the world that the hard feel
ing against England of a century ago
had disappeared forever. The sugges-
ton is opposed by the military society
of the war of 1912 and by the patriotic
societies and hardly will be consid-
ere0 by those in charge of the celebra-
ton"
Every broad-minded American who

sense of shame, or pity, or at least
good-humored contempt for the spec.

triotic societies, excitedly tanning the

(From Yesterdays Crossroads Of the
Pacific.)
Professor Henry SEVERN, in his ad-
dress on "The Introduction, Methods
Of Control, Spread and Migration Of
the Mediterranean Fruithy in the
Hawaiian Islands," delivered today
before the forty-flrst California state
Fruit Growers convention, at Santa
Barbara, makes some very pertinent
criticisms Of the methods employed
in Honolulu, and particularly Of our
garbage system, or rather of our
lack of one at all adequate to cope
with the situation.
Professor SEVERN is much less
drastic than the daily newspapers
have led the people of this city TO
believe he would be. The Cross
roads has copy of his address,
which, however, is too lengthy and,
in part, too technical to be publish
cd in full in this paper. What he
says about garbage collection, how
ever, is worth quoting. 1t is exact
ly in line with what the Crossroads
has for a long time been saying. He
says
what progress has clean culture
made up to the present time towards
controlling the Mediterranean fruit
fly? There Is no question of doubt
that since clean culture has been
inaugurated, thousands of maggots
have been destroyed, but must
frankly admit that the pest is far
from under control and that Califor-
MIA is by no means safe from an
iniestation from the Hawaiian ISL
ands.
why has not better progress been
made toward controlling the pest?
One reason why the fruitfy has not
been better controlled may be attrib-
uted to the lack of cooperation By
some of the householders. Another
important reason is the poor garbage
system. From data furnished by the
garbage department, l was informed
that within ten years only, one addi-
tional wagon has been AIDED, within

The traveller will find the C innate of
Honolulu-the crossroads of the Pa
cifc-most equable and perfectly
ideal. It's land, an evergreen arbor of
vine, plant and tree, with fertile soil,
highly productive of flower, fruit and
vegetable; it's sea Astounding in va
riety of food fish, both scale and shell,
brilliant in coloring, such as would
tickle the palate of an epicure or
challenge the brush of an artist to
paint. Its beautiful white sand beach,
washed by perpetually warm waters,
is the delight of surf bathers the year
around, while it's gently rolling ocean
swells, over coral beds, afford gay
sport for those who are fond of surf
board riding and outrigger boating.
Honolulu has many resorts within
her boundaries that will delight the
tourist, all of which may be reached
by trolley car, of open and modern
pattern, with service unexcelled. The
paved streets and macadamized coun-
try and mountain roads about the is
