GRAND OPERA ON TRIAL

The arrival of seventy operate artists today
for an engagement of several weeks duration
means considerably more to this city than that
the Lambardi company has reached Honolulu
it means that grand opera has reached Homo
lulu.
Operate stars, singly touring the world or
on their way to the colonies or the Orient, are
no novelties here. Calye was greeted by very
large audience, and an audience that knew its
Carmen" and appreciated the greatest of Car
mems. The novelty in this case is that there is
to be a grand opera season by a company which
has played the big cities of the Coast and the
West, with success which has continued year
after year. Grand opera is here not for an cpl
sodic appearance, but for a long engagement.
Honolulu is on the opera map, and will stay on
if Honolulu rises to the occasion.
The Lambardi company is a worthy company.
1t has made and kept a secure place in the hearts
of cultured men and women of San Francisco,
Portland Los Angeles, Seattle, st. Louis and
other big cities of the mainland.-cities that
have heard the greatest cperatc stars now sing
ing in America. The Lambardi company has
been able to come back year after year to these
cities because it is a high-class company, pro-
ducing operas intelligently faithfully and eff
fectively As to its individual stars, Honolulu
will know more after the first two or three per
formances Some criticism has been made of the
prices, but that criticism is not by people know
know. The truth is that higher prices have been
charged for seats in the coast cities than be-
inu asked for the opera house here.
A grand opera season is musical and dra-
matic stimulus to any city Outside the benefits
Of Measure and culture to be derived by the PEG
pie of the city Honolulu will receive very di-
rect piece of advertising immensely valuable

The WEBB Law, THE GROSNA BILL, And HAWAII

How rapidly the cause of temperance and
prohibition is progressing after years of unself1
ish battling by noble men and women, may be
measured by the fact that both the senate and
lower house of congress have passed over the
presidents veto the Webb-Kenyon bill. This
bill prohibits the shipment of liquor into "dry''
territory and makes liquors so shipped subject
to the laws of the state into which they go. The
president vetoed the bill on technical grounds.
The senate promptly passed the bill over the
presidents veto by vote of 63 to 81, and the
house Immediately followed with similar action
by vote of IA to 95. The Webb law vastly
STRENGTHENS the chances of the Gronna bill,
which prohibits selling of Intoxicating beverages
in the territory of Hawaii. In fact, the Webb
law makes the Grcnna bill possible of complete
fulfilmenf
The passage of the Webb bill over Tafts veto
was the triumph of moral Issue over a. technical
objection The changed attitude of senate and
house typify the changing attitude of millions of
thinking men and women the world over. They
are coming to see the crime, ruin and degrade
tion that follow inexorably in the path of whis-
Ky, and to know that prohibition is as fundamen-
tally sound principle as the legal prevention
of unbridled lust and passion.

the taxpayers at large thould pay the
expenses of REGISTRATION of convey

A TIP FOR THE SHERIFF
litor Honolulu star-Bulletin.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-Are the people of this city
subject to abuse, physical and other
wise, from the police officers who
have the keeping of the peace of the
city in their hands? 1t would seem
so from what | witnessed Friday
afternoon ct the corner of Hotel and
Nuuanu streets when the policeman
that was holding down that beat at 4
o'clock lost his temper at few ques-
tions slightly tipsy, small-sized sol
der was asking him, and after q few
commands to the soldier to move on,
he drew his club, and after poking the
man severely in the stomach, which
was in itself q dangerous thing to do,
he turned the man about face and
gave him vicious kick on the end of
the backbone, an assault that could
easily injure one for life But such q
condition of affairs is way beyond the
diminutiye comprehension of that Of
ficer; one could tell that by looking
at him.
1t is just possible that he may kick
the wrong man some day and he will
get what is coming to him.
There was no occasion for the treat
ment that he gave the soldier, what
ever A few words kindly spoken
would have BEEN right in line with
what one would expect from an Off
Ger of the law, and it is shame that
we have such punches of ignorance on
the force. Such work is not allow

NEW PLAN FOR DRYD0Ck
PROPOSED

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-As the construction of the
dry dock at Pearl Harbor as we'll as
the theory of the construction are fail
ures, as has been clearly demonstrate
ed by the recent crash. and as the the
CRY that has been advanced for the re-
building of the dock is also in the
class of guesswork. and it may be add
ed that the writer is of the opinion
that the power that lifted five feet OF
solid concrete will also lift twenty
five feet of the same material, should
like to advance a theory on dry dock
construction applicable to the eondi-
tons that obtain at Pearl Harbor &.
Here il is: -. -..- - II.
Why not construct the dry dock in
land, say 100 feet from the waters
edge, using the same dimensions as
intended for the present dock, eXca-
waiting out of the solid earth? In such
instance there is pressure but from
one way, from the inside out, and as
the walls of the dock would have all
of creation for q foundation and sides,
il is certain that it would not give an
inch from the pressure of the water
when filled, and when emptied there
would be no pressure from the bottom
or outside. -. ...
The dry dock coufd be completed 10
the least detail and when all was
done, even to the hanging of the gates,
the canal leading to the sea could be
dug and the water let in. This would
not cost one-half of what has been
wasted there now, not taking into &C
count the amount that is liable to be
sent after it. J.. -. ~
