against the uniform Of the United
States, more fragrant even that the
conditions which called forth Kipling's
rhymed defense of the British soldier,
Tommy Atkins" has been reported
to the army authorities in connection
with the landing Of the steamship
Cleveland last night. Soldiers In uni
form were showed aside BY the police
On; guard at the entrance of the Ala
kea dock, and denied admittance to
the upper gallery leading to the
steamers side, while men in civilian
clothes were allowed to pass freely
and without question to and from the
gangway to the street. No explana-
ton was given by the police for this
discrimination, although several sol
diers tried more than once to pass up
the stairway, to r.eet friends whom
they believed were on the ship.
Complaint Of Long Standing. 81
That soldiers in uniforri-and both
enlisted men and officers serving in
Hawaii are denied the alternative of
wearing civilian clothes at any time
are treated with scant courtesy in pub
lie places, no matter how exemplary
their behavior, Is complaint that has
been made so many times of late that
it is believed army authorities will
take it up for definite action. The
situation here is likened to that which
developed on the east coast several
years ago, when sailors in uniform
were excluded from public dance halls
at Newport, r. l., and Admiral Higgin-
son. Lacked Ivy President Roosevelt,
made an issue of the proper respect
due to tbs Uniform, and forced the pro-
prietors of amusement places to ac-
cord sailors and soldiers the same
privileges and courtesies extended to
other well-behaved patrons.

srall stir in service circles here, and

HONOLULUS RESPONSIBILITY
DRIVEN Home BY SPEAKERS

Powerful pleas for practically and
red-blOod in latter-day religion were
made last night BY Fred B. Smith, Ray
mond Robins and +. W Peck at the
dinner at the Commercial club which
launched the active weeks work of
the Men and Religion Campaigners
here
One hundred and forty men prOmi-
nent in business or professional or Of
fetal life here, sat down at the tables
and for two hours listened to -ad-
dresses from the three visitors that
went straight to the hearts Of those
who heard them. 1t was an unusual
aSscmblage and an unusual program.
Among those who gathered for the
opening Of the campaign were Gov
ernor Frear, Bishop Restarick, Bishop
Harris, a noted Methodist travelling on
the China; DR.. Doremus Scudder, J. P.
Cooke, president of the planters as
sociation; and prominent men of all
businesses and callings. Many Japan
csc, including editors Of the Japanese
papers, attended the dinner, and a
number of Chinese also were present.
Without tricks of oratory or flour
ish of adjectives, but with great earn
estness that amounted at times to We
llemence, Messrs. Smith and Robins
spoke to the men gathered before
them.
Mr.. Robins, a noted social welfare
worker and for many years one who
has led the fight for better conditions
in one of Chicago's worst slums,
spoke briefly along the lines in which
his work falls. He sketched the
growth. of the necessity for social con-
troll as well as individualistic control,
declaring that the challenge of mod
ern times is for a religion that will
mean something to the man in the
blast-furnace and the woman at the
sweatshop sewing-machine as well as
the man of the so-called upper
classes .:>
Touching briefly upon various ele-
ments that go to- make communities
better places in which to live, he de-
clared that az rotten police system is
menace toSall, that politics must rise
above the purely partisan level, and
that industries must pay a decent liy-
ing wage. =. - -
You must have a minimum wage
standard so regulated that the women
who toll will not be driven by econom-
ic pressure into the pitfalls of vice
and crime" he declared. He dWelt on
the great social forces at work in
modern industry and society, an
nouncing that he would go more into
details in the various institutes and
meetings at which he will speak.
Fred B. Smiths message was sim
pie and powerful. He began by saying
that It was a miracle that he and Rob-
ms are now at work together. He de-

clared that once he had adhered to the
doctrine that the only way to save
souls was tn" individual method. TO
60 out and save one man at time.
like taking a few people off a ship
while the ship is sinking" as he sue
cinctly put it. And then he told how
religious leaders are beginning TO
realize that the work is greater than
this method can accomplish. that So
Cial forces must be regulated. that
churches must be vitaiized, stirred up,
fired by new enthusiasm and definite
practical work.
Mr.. Smith did not mince words in
declaring that too many churches
nowadays are the victims of dry-rot
that they need red blood and fire, and
yet he stopped long enough to pay
anything but flattering tribute to
what he calls volcanic evangelical
ton. He made it quite plain that he
does not believe in the itinerant evan
gelistS as the men who do the great
est work in saving souls.
1T is the people who live in a COM
munity. who stay there, who do the
work-you people in Honolulu who
must do the work here!" he shouted
This is serious hour in Christian
ity," he asserted, and went on to say
that the churches must wake 10 the
fact that they are not holding the
men, that they are not kee ping up
with the rest of the world in forward
strides. But he tempered this mo-
ment later by declaring that the
churches are already waking to- the
necessity for action. = =.
! Declaring that the crusade must be
one with fight in it,: Mr.. Smith as
serted amid loud applause, "The sa-
loon must go; you've got to get Grid
of the saloon!s The white slavery bus
mess must, be driven from your
midst! The inequalities of society
which make men think they have not
a fair chance in life. have got to stop"
1t was in this direct fashion that he
drove his points home - -
E.W. Peck, the basso, of the excel
lent male quartet which accompanies
Smith and Robins, and who Is an ex-
pert in community extension work,
spoke on that subject. He asked
those present to- come to the institutes,
where he will explain IT more in de-
tail. ~ y. 4

"You will remember the incident
which happened near the close of
Jesus life when he was burdened with
the powers which were determined to
destroy him. The people came from
Rome and asked him questions with
him so that the powers at Rome
could then deal with him. They ask
ed him questions concerning the
taxes at the time. and he was asked
whether or not the Jews should pay
tribute to Caesar, and Christ asked
them to bring him a coin. When he
noticed that the inscription Of the coin
was that of the Caesars, he said:
When under Caesar, pay tribute to
Caesar, but when under God, pay tri-

TROUBLE IN GARDEN

An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before q fig tree on which were two
figs just ripening. His favorites were
igs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coming to
maturity.
Shortly after he met his gardener,
who. assuring him the figs were quite
ripe, was requested to send them to
the summer house. where his master
was about 10 rest.
Picking the figs. the gardener sent
his little boy of with the basket.
On the way the little fellow stopped,
and, removing the leaves, gazed upon
the tempting fruit.
The attraction was too great; he
atesone. Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand.
On being asked IL the gardener had
not sent two figs the boy, after a
g moments silence, answered: I ate
one
You ate one? How" exclaim ed
the old gentleman. angrily. How did
you come to do that?'
Dropping his eyes TO the basket,
%'I took Ii like this" said the child,
taking the remaining FIG. "and 1 ate
1t like this"
And, suiting the action to the word,
he consumed the second fig before
the astonished eyes of the old gen.

LOyELORN youth writes me
"A pathetic letter, saying that he
is persona non grata with the
fair sex; that girls do not care for
his society, and the ungrateful minxes
turn their backs upon him and talk
to other men in the very instant they
are devouring the candy he brought
them. and wearing the yiolets on
which he sQuandered his good money.
This state of affairs greatly distresses
him, and he wants to know why he
isn't popular, and how he may be-
come a winner with women.
Let us see il we can help him.
Women differ from men in this re-
spect, that looks do not count. 1t
does not matter whether a man IS
handsome or not. Indeed. very few
women care for beauty in the oppo
site sex 1t is poaching on their
own preserves that they resent Also
1t requires them so become fiatterers
instead OF the flattered. for the vanity
of the vainest woman that ever lived
Is as water unto wine compared to
the vanity of man who is living
picture, and who knows it-and ex-
poets to be told of 1t.
1t is worth bearing in mind that al
most without exception the men who
were the great heart smashers of his
tory were not only plain of face, but
some of them grotesquely hfdeous. So
no man need despair on account of
his lack of pulchritude when he wants
to take a hand at the game of hearts
HE SHOULD SHAVE
But while mere regularity of fea-
ture in man counts for little in at
tracing a woman's fancy, man
should pay much attention to his
clothes and his grooming. Nothing
on earth, but the grace of God
keeps a woman in love with
man with a two days stub

Married women stand this because
they can't help themselves; but no
girl wants a slovenly, untidy man.

through the laundry, hanging about
her All the knocking about the
word dude" comes from masculine
lips. No woman joins in that chorus
On the contrary, she feels that the
man who comes into her presence ILL
clothed, dirty, neglected looking, not
only shows disrespect for her, but in
dicates that he lacks Judgment, in
dustry and progressiveness. For that
is exactly what being addressed now
means.
Another thing that women like, and
il is an attraction that any man can
acquire. is a certain savoir faire that
makes him equal to any situation. A
woman likes a man to know how to
offer her chair, to help her on with
her wraps, to order a little dinner.
