Is Honolulu in condition to Withstand the visi-
tation of any of the pestilences now reported as
prevalent in different parts of the world? Last
year the businessmen turned down the proposal
OF a cleanup day, partly on account Of depression
in the chief industry and partly because some
held that sanitation was exclusively the prov
ince of the paid authorities. Between board Of
health activities and the municipal garbage
service, probably the town is as clean as avail
able public resources can make it. Yet that
dangerous nuisances exist, largely perhaps

My boy, there is a great difference
between loud, noisy, shrieking spread
eagleism. and patriotism: mighty
difference, reckon. Some of those
who yell, and wave flags over their
heads, are undermining good govern
ment in cities and the country at
large se~.@
And, my boy, It may be wise for
the individual and public safety TO
modify our Fourth of July demonstra-
tons. We can do all this without sac
rificing patriotism; We can love our
country and our children. too, by taxi
ing .fire-crackers away from them;
by teaching them better way to re-
mind themselves and others what a
glorious country is theirs to pos
sess. .-zs-

VILLA REPORTED
 AS DISSATISFIED

Fl Paso, Texas, June 12.-Delay is the basis of Carranza's policy, accord ing to information received here to- night.
 An only menace to this supposed 2ar today was the rumor, partially admitted, that the long expected es- arrangement between Carranza and General Villa is near a crisis.
 Villa, to whose credit is given nearly all the recent successes of the revolution, has remained at Torreon viewing General Nateras efforts to take Zacatecas. Reports from the south today said Villa had shown great resentment at Carranza's recent attitude toward him, especially in the Natera appointment. General Car ranza tonight issued an order that General Villa proceed immediately from Torreon to the assistance of Natera. This was announced offic- tally here tonight.
 An official bulletin today an nounced that Domingo Arrieta, one of the brothers of Durango state, is in command of four thousand men as. sisting Natera's troops in the Za- catecas attack
