Tourist Promotion

/ Sometime ago the Maui Chamber of
Commerce decided to withdraw its I'm
ancial support from the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee, and now We hear
the the valley islanders will carry on
tourist promotion scheme of their
own, by keeping man in Honolulu
for the purpose of steering tourists
definitely to the island of Maui
1t has been observable for long
time that the results of the work of
the Hawaii Promotion Committee have
been of pecuniary interest only to the
hotels, curio dealers and chauffeurs of
Honolulu; the Hawaii branch of the
local steamship company; and the Hilo
Railway, Volcano Stables Company
and a couple of Greek eating houses
ION Hawaii. The benefits received by
West Hawaii, Maui and Kauai from
! the tourist business has been, and is,
more of joke than business reality.
Asked if we are in favor of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee as an
institution, we reply, unhesitatingly-
yes. Are we in favor of promoting
tourist travel? Yes, again; most GER
tainly
But the point is that the Hawaii
Promotion Committee does not meet
the requirements of the islands out
side of Honolulu and the volcano
route. For the purposes of Honolulu,
Hilo and the Volcano House, it is a
good thing; and the out-in-the-eold
districts are glad of it. -z. .-.
We do not charge any laxness on the
part cf Hawaii Promotion Committee
in it's efforts to steer tourists our way
and to Maui and to West Hawaii In
fact we are prepared to concede that
very strenuous efforts have been made
by it, at times, along those lines. What
We do think, however, is that the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee is incap-
able of delivering the goods" in SO
far as the islands, outside of Honolulu
and the Volcano route, are concerned.
It has, therefore, come to a pass
where if Maui, Kauai and other
island districts desire tourists they
must themselves go to Honolulu after
them. If sufficiently interested, the
.business-like way to go about it is to
keep men at, Honolulu for the purpose
of directing tourists to the individual
outside localities referred to; and in
this respect, Maui is on the right tack.
We shall watch the Maui experiment
with interest, and with every hope that
it may prove successful.
While on this subject, we would like
to say that spirit of what seems to
be arrogant eondeScension seems to
affiict some of our Honolulu friends
nowadays when it comes to dealing
with communities of the outside
Stands. A streak of it runs through

the Hawaii Promotion Committee, and
there Is still larger streak in the ter
ritori9l government. We are inclined
to the opinion that il is not appreciat-
ed on Hawaii and Maui. and are Jolly
well satisfied that IL is resented on
Kauai. An instance OF this came up
last week when the new superintend-
ent OF pnblic works made a grand

nolulu get out of its patronizing mood.
and come right down To business with
the outside islands on the tourist and
other propositions, and better results
will surely follow.
Returning directly to the subject of
tourist promotion, we are unable To
see why Kauai and Maui should con-
tribute to the expense of inducing
travel on the Honolulu-Hilo route un-
less there should be hope Sf more
tourists ''seeping" through into these
localities than have been in evidence
in the past 1t would be just as rea-
sonable for the Hawaii Promotion
Committee to contribute to the sup.

Francisco and Los Angeles, on the
ground of the travel that might "seep''i

LET'S PRAISE THESE TEAMS,

With its football teams, baseball
teams, track teams, debating teams
and stock judging teams, Missouri
University keeps well to the front
as a contender for collegiate hon
ors.
Honor of a different sort has
been brought to the school by stu
dent gospel teams, though not so
widely advertised. People are i'm
pressed with the sincerity of the
workers and the idea that a uni
versity is a place of agnosticism
and atheism is disabused.
Most of the work is done during
the Christmas vacation period,
which means a sacrifice of a part
of their holidays by the groups of
men who make trips to the small
towns and country districts. To
make voluntarily this sacrifice
shows that there is something real
in the college mans religion.
There is no denominationalism in
the Student Volunteer Movement. |
fractional feeling is lost sight o,
in meeting problems of general |
concern.
When We are landing other
teams for the good fights they have
made, should not gospel teams |
come in for praise A young mans
life in college often determines his
whole future. 1t appears that the
State Gospel Training Team Con-
'erence now in session is doing
is part to start men right.

.BLANKETING, THE BALLOT.

The constitutional amendments
were so successfully "blanketed" al
the recent election that they were
doomed before the voting started.
To be handed one of the volum-
inous sheets on which the amend
ments were printed and face the
prospect of marking it would
Smother the ardor of even a first
time voter
The job looked too big for many
who were not acquainted with the
contents. others scratched yes"
throughout rather than risk voting
or something wrong. Booths were
made before these ballots and they
iidnt fit. Some placed the blanket
,n the floor, voting recumbent.
That was a hardship. The floor
vas hard and the blanket thin.
Another blasting feature of the
blanket was the inclusion of So
allied joker amendments. They
ldded to the bulk of the ballot as
veil as to the fear of the person
Who was not informed as to the
ontents of the amendments.
What a voter does not under
tand he usually votes against. This |
ack of understanding has been es-
ecially applicable to amendment
oting. but the voter is learning
D distinguish between the good and
he bad.
Why not outline the amendments
n the ballot and eliminate the
-lanket? 1t would simplify vot-
lg and no one reads the amend
lent ballot, anyway.

The Open Column

Editor The Missourian: When
will men cease to make capital OF
the misfortunes of others? Day af-
ter day We read of the huge war
orders for merchandise that are
coming to the United States. Glee-
fully our manufacturers take on
more workmen and run their plants
overtime to fill foreign orders. Buy
ers are securing the country to find
horses and mules to ship to Europe.
The bureau of labor statistics pre-
diets great prosperity for our
country because of the European
war.
Our President solemnly sets
apart day to be devoted to prayer
for Peace" The people respond
in crowds. The churches are
thronged and prayers for peace go
up from city and village and coun-
try church. Then men hurry out
to secure and fill more war orders
making possible the continuance of
the war as long as the men of Ger
many and the Allies can be found
to fill the ranks.
When will men work as they
pray? When will our country be
big enough to declare that no ar
ticle that can be used to prolong
the war in any way shall leave our
shores until peace is declared? ?
These warning nations must soon
exhaust their own resources and
perforce come to some agreement
to lay down their arms. Then let
America turn every wheel day and
night il need be to help supply
what is needed to reconstruct the
devastated countries. Then our
horses and mules will be needed to
reclaim the farm land that is now
reeking with the best blood of Eu-
rope.

follow these war orders but unless

in vain that build it." and a pros

fought out on issues not on the
split of party.
Take Missouri. The initiative
and the referendum look danger
ously like failures, owing to the
voters refusal to discriminate
when a message he opposes is
placed on the ballot. A great many
vote a straight mo" in order to
hit one proposal and the good go
down with the bad. Every meas
ure has a minority opposition, at
least, and these minorities COM
bine into a negative majority when
the ballot is voted straight.
Missouri's hope is in more
thoughtful voting or in allowing
only one proposal to come up at
an election. The former is a mat
ter of education; the latter, of
practibility.
Take Boone County. One amend
ment carried and the party in pow
er received the usual pluralities,
which always are majorities. Lots
of room remains for education in ,
independent voting.
Take Columbia. The city did the
same as the county in regard to the
party candidates, but accepted
three of the amendments and re-
ferred bills. Should the presence
Of the University be credited with
his thoughtfulness of voting? It's
/ question.

The New Books
Learning and Doing.

Learning and Doing" would per
haps express more clearly the con.
tent of this book by Edgar James
Swift, of Washington University
st. Louis. Intended for teachers
and parents, it tells in an untech-
nical way new methods of teaching
children.
I'VE have been told" the au-
thor says, that the education of a
child should begin with his grand
parents. Yes, that is true, only it
is with the grandparents of the fu-
ture children that We must start
with the. children who are in school
now"
Most of a child's wrongdoinss
are held not to be malicious, but
revolts from monOtony-the ex-
preston of strong demand for
activity and excitement. The new
methods aim to direct this over
flow of spirits into channels of in
terest to the child, leading him to
think out for himself the problems
he meets. Present teaching lacks
the essential of making many of the
pupils think. Each child must be
considered separately, as no two
minds are exactly alike. The work
of the teacher must therefore be
efficient to gain best results. Pu-
pil-government is strongly favored,
the teacher acting in the capacity
of director, rather than that of
the present-day teacher.

The Literary Trawler

Social evolution is a splendid
term, but it leaves the heart empty.
If the Holy Ghost is really convict
ing the world of sin and righteous
ness and judgment, a church which
tries to introduce religion surrep-
titiously between stereopticon
slides is sorry spectacle. But a
church filled with a contagious
faith in the God of things as they
are becoming, that seeks first the
kingdom of God and his righteous
ness. that stirs men to moral dis
content in order that they may be
brought into sacrificial service
through fellowship with their cru

for human fraternity upon the ex-
perience of divine sonship-such a
