GIVE THEN PROTECTION .

Indecency on the local theatrical stage should
not be tolerated any more than is indecency on
the street.
The ugly episode of a visiting manager who
insisted that his chorus girls should dance the
suggestive hula bare1egged ought to be another
lesson to the supervisors. The supervisors
should pass an ordinance providing for CEN
sorship of some kind. As the Star-Bulletin
pointed out some time ago, the present censor
ship committee has no official standing and is
powerless to act. Itcan only recommend. The
supervisors, according to an opinion by a former
deputy city attorney, have the power to estab-
lish censorship, and though this right has new
been tested in the courts, he believes it would
stand.
The chorus girls who refused to violate their
modesty at the behest of mercenary manager
deserve the thanks of the decent people of this
community And these same decent people
should insist on protection in the future both for
the morals of the community and for the stage
people who come here. The majority of stage
people are against indecency just as the major
ity of any people are against indecency.

The MUNICIPAL DANCE HALL

Municipal dance-halls as a substitute for pri-
yately dancehalls have already been
suggested since the revelations concerning the
Kukui street resort, but Honolulu should con-
slider long time ere giving its official sanction
to such a doubtful substitute The experiences
of the few cities that have established municipal
dances is hardly to be taken as an argument for
them. In Milwaukee and Cleveland, where the
system has been tried, neither great good nor
great harm seems to have resulted, though from
time to time there has been protest against the
citys sanction of the dance as an amusement for
young people
Neither Milwaukee nor Cleveland has appar-
emily been able to suppress the private dance
hall evil by the substitution of the municipal at
traction 1t is fair to say, however, that in both
cities the experiment is comparatively new and
definite results cannot be stated
In Honolulu the municipal dance, even if
carefully conducted, would be at best an expert
mept and would carry untold dangers Homo
lulu's problem is not to maintain or increase thu

Senator Overman.of North Carolina says his
committees probe has developed proof of a ''new
and powerful form of concerted lobbying II
does not consist in personal appeal to the con-
gressmen but in organized activity to mold pub
lie sentiment and Influence senators by public
pressure. 1t is insidious because it often in
cludes misnformation and Misrepresentation. .
So far as Hawaiis work is concerned, Sena-
tor Overman's talk is rot
If fighting against disastrous slash in the
tariff with every nerve and sinew that Hawaii
possesses is insidious lobbying, then Hawaii
pleads guilty to the charge.
If making that fight open and above-board-
the cards face up on the tablets insidious lob
bying then Hawaii pleads guilty to the charge.
Ifsending men like George Carter, Z. E. Pax
ton, r. d. Mead, Harry Irwin Arthur Baldwin,
to the front to fight for Hawaii is nsidious lob
bying, then Hawaii pleads guilty to the charge.
If campaign Of letter-writing by thousands
upon thousands of this territory's men and wo-
men is insidious lobbying then Hawaii pleads
guilty to the charge.
If an endeayor to secure the sober attention
of senate committeeman and place before them
the facts of Hawaiis DEMONSTRATING industry is
insidious lobbying, then Hawaii pleads guilty to
the charge. 4
If the spending Of money in page advertise
ments in the Washington newspapers, a frank
statement of known facts, is insidious lobbying,
then Hawaii pleads gpiltysto the charge.
If maintaining bureau for the spread of
proved information on sugar production is in
sidious lobbying, then Hawaii pleads guilty to
the charge
IL such activities constitute an attempt to
mold public sentiment, then Hawaii is making
the attempt.
If suckwork is an effort to influence senators
by public pressure, then Hawaii is making the
effort.
Why notg
Hasn't this territory the right to appeal to
congress against an attack on this territory's
prosperity. p.
Haven't the people of this territory the right
to appeal to the intelligence, the sense of fair
play, the sound judgment of the American peo-
pie, against political move openly declared in
violation of the Democratic platform, a move
that strikes unfairly at the growers of sugar and
unfairly benefits the refiners Of sugar?
Hawaii is lobbying, yes but what is: there in

carrying on?
Hawaiis Representatives ask but fair play

will help their cause
