DRINK IN A LOSING FIGHT

1t may be that getting people to "sign the
pledge" does some good in the fight against al
cohol, although, viewed by the record, it is not
so ultimate in the individual case as one might
hope for. And it may be that here and there
''the whiskey cure" has worked toward the sal.
walton of an inebrate But this kind of work
is mere broom work on Augean stables, com
pared with what happens following upon the
action Of some employing corporation in refus-
ing to tolerate employees addicted to the use of
intoxicating liquor. Railroad after.railrOad is
lining up squarely on this issue, bringing the
drinking man right about face with the prospect
of "no work" Recently an elementary physiol-
ogy was prepared as a school textbook, and the
authors, to comply with the requirement that a
certain proportion of the text should deal with
the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco, hit
upon the plan of getting testimony from repre-
sentative corporations as to the stand taken with
employees ON the liquor question. Here are
some of the replies:
From the New York Central Railroad: 'No
one will be employed, or continued in employ
ment, who is known to be in the habit of drink
ing intoxicating liquors." i 80
From the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company: eve do not knowingly
employ for any important position any person
known to be habitual user of alcoholic
liquors.
From the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany's rules: "The company hereby announces
that in employment and promotions in its serv-
ice preference will be given to persons who are
known to be total abstainers."
Recently the Lackawanna Railroad issued
orders to the effect that trainmen addicted to
the use of intoxicating liquors would not be toll
Grated, and its example was promptly followed
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
These evidences of growing recognition of
the use of alcohol as 'bad business" are taken as
one of the most hopeful signs of the sanity of
the times by temperance workers

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

There is now pending in the senate work
mems compensation act, introduced by Senator
Writ. A similar bill is in the house The fact
that the author OF the measure is a Democrat
should not and we believe will not prevent the
fair minded Republican majority from giving
full consideration to the many excellent features
in the bill. Whether the bill is the bill for Hal
wall we do not undertake TO say offhand, having
had insufficient opportunity to examine it in de
tail.
The Star Bulletin is in hearty accord with
the principles involved in compulsory workmen's
compensation. Progressive states are fast pass
ing such acts. Arizona California, Illinois,
Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Washington and Wis
consin are among those which have passed the
acts
Compulsory compensation for employees in
hazardous trades and occupations is regarded
as fundamentally sound community economy.
Those dependent on the injured workmen are
kept from becoming public charges or from the
necessity of asking any public charity. Prop
erly restricted, the application of these compen-
sation acts becomes a safeguard for employer as
well as employee, for there is no danger of SYM
pathetic juries giving excessive damages owing
to anticorporation sentiment. The law must be
very carefully drawn, and in this respect the
uniform workmen's compensation act, drafted
as model law by recent Conference of Com
missioners on Uniform State Laws, is admirable
in breyity clearness and definite statement.
Hawaii will take its place. in the front rank
Of those commonwealth indorsing progressive
legislation by approving compensation act,
and the senate and house should take up their
bills seriously.
As matter of fact, many of the plantations
and large corporations here already take care
Of their injured There should not and probably
will not be opposition to the passage Of the act
from such interests 80.

LITTLE INTERVIEWS

SENATOR RICE = ! think that
March II will be a good day for a
fight if there is any fight on confirm
ing the governors appointments.
SPEAKER HOLSTEIN - 1 believe
the governor we'll deserves the resolu-
ton Of thanks passed by the house.
Today sees the change in administra-
ton at Washington, and it is a fitting
day for such action here.
CHARLEY HOPKINS =. Why may
il not be good plan for the promotion
committee 10 finance a tour for Duke
Kahanamoku on the mainland, giving
swimming exhibitions? The admission
fees which could be collected ought TO
more than repay the expenses and the
profit TO Hawaii would be immense in
promotion advertising.
w. R. FARRINGTON-Take notice
that Pre- sident Wilson in his inaugural
address makes special reference TO
agricultural activities" that should be
served through the 'instrumentality of
science" This applies to the school
as well as the college. Hawaii's leg
islature has the opportunity to
promptly follow up the counsel Of the
president by providing for practical
education in the schools OF the terri
tory, through special teachers and
equipment for elementary agriculture
and domestic science.

now THE 'FIsER Did IT.

BY piece of journalistic enterprise unham-
pered by regard for the truth or newspaper eth
les, the Advertiser this morning published the
inaugural address of President Wilson before it
icas deIirered in Washington
Even allowing for the difference in time be-
tween Washington and Honolulu the Adver-
Users issue this morning containing the address
in full was generally circulated before the adj
dress was made in Washington.
The Associated Press advance report of the
speech reached Honolulu in yesterday mornings
mail Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to the pres
ident, had printed on the first page of the adj
vance copies the following:
sReleased for publication, without further
notice, at II o'clock noon Eastern time) March
4, 1872
To this the Associated Press added:
"The following matter may be published at
time Indicated without further notice of re,
lease s%lk4EA
The time indicated, IL o'clock noon, eastern
time, is, according to standard United States
time, 6 30 o'clock a. m. here.
Long before that time the Advertisers morn
ing issue was circulated. Even supposing that
the presidents address began promptly at noon,
least prior to it's actual delivery And this not
withstanding the confidential nature of the mes
sage until given to the public, Notwithstanding
newspaper ethics, Associated Press rules and
the explicit directions of the secretary to the
new president
This is the kind Of cheap business the morn
ing paper pulled off in order to print the adj
dress first
The advance copy of the address reached the
editor of the Star-Bulletin at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning Had this paper no higher regard
for confidence and for the respect due to the
president than the morning paper showed today,
the tar-Bulletin could have published the in
augural address yesterday afternoon.
Evidently aware of the breach of faith which
II was committing, the Advertiser this morning
nrefaced the address with an advance excuse
stating that the president assumed office al
II 20 this morning and his address was delN
cred Immediately after, approximately SIX
o'clock this morning, Honolulu time" Then

REV. J. P. ERDMAN
" SPEAKS ON RELIGIONS

In his lecture on Christianity and
its relation to the other religions of
the world yesterday afternoon, Rev.
John Erdman made clear that even
those who embrace Hinduism, Taoism
and other religions that have been
spoken of during the course of lee
lures on United Mission Study, that
Christianity is looked upon as the re-
ligion that meets all of the needs of
mankind
Mr. Erdman quoted from several
of the great teachers and scholars Of
Asia and they say that the nom Christ
ian religions are lacking. They are
powerlsss to uplift the people moral
ly and those who embrace non-C Christ
ian faiths practice deceit. dishone sty
and everything that revolts against
true manhood.
For many years Christianity was
not recognized by the Japanese gov
eminent and while the people could
embrace that religion If they wished
they were practically outcasts from a
religious point of view.
In the month of February of last
year the Japanese government formal
ly admitted Christianity as one of the
religions of Japan. And so in his
lecture Mr.. Erdman made clear the
opinion of Asia towards Christianity,
and while many of the Hindus and
members of other sects do not believe
in the Christ they all recognize and
some day will probable embrace the
Christian faith.
The next and last lecture in this
course will take place on Monday af-
ternoon when Bishop Restarick will
talk of Christ, the Light of the World.

The absence of Representative

unintentional. however. as he stated
last week that ifAa Kuhio resolution
such as the one which was passed by
the house few days ago, were intro

CORPORATIONS PAY UP

1t became definitely known at noon
today that of the 519 corporations in
the territory required by law to sub
NIT reports to the office of the u. s.
collector of internal revenue there
was not a single one that was not in
on time or accounted for. This gives
the internal revenue department the
remarkable record of not having had
to prosecute a single delinquent cor
poration either this year or last. Aft
er checking up the corporations by
means of a triple checking system,
Collector Cottrill was able to announce
the gratifying result.

Beginning to Bloom

MEMPHIS, June 30-Crop conditions
throughout the Southern States are in a
hourishing condition, excepting corn
and late potatoes, according to reports
made public to-day by the Memphis
Cotton and Merchants Exchanges.
The cotton crop in Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, oklahoma and Arkansas is in
splendid condition. the extreme hot
weather OF the last week being beneti-
oial
Corn has been bllEhted in many sec

days Bugs are playing havoc with the
late potato crop and worms are eating

Reports from over Mississippi are
that cotton is beginning to bloom in the
delta district, where high water late in
1913 is overlooking more than mil

splendid. The plant is strong, has a
fine color and all indications point to
tremendous yield if favorable weather
conditions prevail and frost is late
Fruit growers in the Arkansas Ozarks
say the peach crop is heavier than in
ten years. The crop is so heavy It is

crop is good, although winds have
caused trees to shed their fruit.
