AT IT AGAIN.

Honolulu, T. H.. January 70.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: / am sorry that was called
from the city during our heated dis
cussion of the coastwise laws. but
have gathered up the threads Of the
theme by looking over the back num-
bers of this paper.
X. Y. Z, says in his letter Of Sat
urday, regarding the suspension of the
coastwise laws, But / am still OF the
opinion that the majority of the peo-
pie would agree with me if they dared
to-" Well, can you beat that. Mr..
Editor? IF they dared to- | think
that X. Y. z. better stop right where
he is before he gets any further down
his own throat
X. Y. z. bewails the fact that the
sun is seemingly obscured hereabouts
| by the large number Of Japanese cane
planting contractors who are driving
, their own seFen-seated, four.speed and
reverse automobiles, while others,
who have had their dividends cut off
J have to walk on foot" (no comment)
I Did these poor concentrating Japa'
nese cut off the dividends? Also,
right here let me state that l was
right In my assertion that X. Y. q.
/ belonged to that class that desired to
cut down the wages Of the planta-
ton laborers. He admits it in his
recent letter wonder If he was one
of those poor. unfortunates who had
to hang up their machines on account
of the shrinkage of dividends?
In several places in his letter X. Y.
q. says, But may be wrong" Holy
smoke, l would never admit it after
all X. Y. q. has said in the previous
letters about the reinforced concrete
foundation all his coastWise shipping
laws objections rested on x. Y. 4.
says that there are a great many
others who think that the suspension
of the coastwise laws would be of
great benefit to these islands. P :
sibly that is the reason that he thinks
so-because there are lot of other
people think that way.
{ / know that have departed severe
~ from the subject, but to- get back
to it again, believe that it would be
most uncommereial step to suspend
/, the coastwise laws for one instant.
X. Y. q. claims that the plantations
lose 100000 right aleng by being
compelled to ship their sugar in Amer
lean bottoms. Answer me this, X. Y.
why, in all that is sane, does not
the plantations purchase and operate
their own steamships? They could
build two or three a, year on what
you assert is thrown away, by them in
freight charges to American bottoms.
Today, X. Y. 2. says, At times Ho-
nolulu hasthe most impure if not the
most filthy water of any city L have
ever known" l should worry, but he
is a booster of the first water for this
city, and especially at this most oppor-
tune time when we want a few tour
lists here. We should be proud of him.

San FRANCISCO VS.. PEARL HLRBOV

The Pearl HarbOr drydock situation is far
from reassuring to Honolulu and Hawaii.
good many weeks ago this paper was first
TO point out the increasing activity of Coast in
terests to get a big naval drydock for San Fran
cisco and the resulting danger that the Pearl
Harbor dock would be Indefinitely delayed if
not abandoned
The events in the weeks since then have borne
put every prediction. First San Francisco bus
inessmen began work to secure the drydock for
fIeir city. They found the department ready to
Iisten to their claims, the more so because the
collapse OF the Pearl Harbor structure made d
Coast drydock advisable Funds for the San
Francisco work were not available So the San
Francisco interests began to press on Secretary
Daniels the proposition of using up the unex-
pended Pearl Harbor appropriation. The move
nent has now advanced so far that San Fran
cisco is placing its claims in direct opposition to
those OF Pearl Harbor Ill.,.
San Francisco will use every resource that in
gpnuity can suggest and influence can employ to
ret drydock-and get it first. The most alI-
Ihoritative advices from Washington indicate
hat Secretary Daniels is not willing to take the
entire responsibility of proceeding with the
Pearl Harbor work, because of the large amount
81 money necessary to overcome the physical diff
Iiculties and drawbacks. he is preparing to lay
the matter before Congress And the San Fran
cisco papers received last night show San Fran
tisco spreparing to carry the Fight to Congress.
San Francisco's tremendous fighting -strength in
Congress has been displayed many times Two
notable examples are afforded in the Hctch
Hetchy bill and the Panama Pacific exposition
bin. Against heavy odds San Francisco won
both of those fights because the whole state was
organized, from the governor down, and the bat
he was waged in spectacular and brilliant fash
lon in Washington So it VIII be if San Fran
Iisco decides that the city must have the dry
lock There will be concerted movement on
tie part Of the big men Of the state, backed up
81 the people in general, and Washington will
Be invaded by the fightinglnen of the west and

It is true that Walter +. Dillingham; cabled

I0dies But reinsurance is not enough San
Francisco quite evidently has been encouraged
~ the last few days to wage the fight anew.
Honolulusand Hawaii cannot afford to relax
heir vigilance. The commercial bodies cannot
niford to rely on the assurances of last week or
Inst month The situation is likely to shift at
any moment. I'LL
And Hawaii should have representation at
Washington that means something besides alb

The Humane Society has taken the right step
in proposing board of censors to pass upon
moying-picture films Another step is needed
The board of censors should also pass upon the
stage offerings presented at the local theaters
There have been some exhibitions in recent
months so coarse as to disgust decentminded
patrons of the theater The Star Bulletin from
time to time has drawn attention to these but,
lacking board of censors, the city has no means
of protecting it's people from indecency. The
board of censors, established by city ordinance
and given real powers, would serve a good pur.
pose.
