Editor Honolulu STAR Bulletin,
Sir:-The old ghost of the dead past

That goblin is the definition that a

to the word services"
This word service involves every.
thing that man is heir to. 1t has a
strong positive meaning and as equal.

Since the reformation from the days
of plutocracy, however, Americans
have interpreted the word BY the pos.
tive definition, i. e., They serve

PRACTICAL SALOON WORK

One thousand saloons were wiped off the map
by the vote taken at the Chicago election on
Tuesday Women voters are credited with the
good work All praise for the women. 1t is
claimed that wolnan's instinct is quicker and
more accurate than mans Judgment
Though Hawaii has not woman's suffrage,
there is suggestion for Honolulu in this incl
dent 90
Tackle the evil of intemperance by reducing
the number OF the saloons.
There may be honest differences of opinion
on the advisability of contesting for prohibition
BY Federal legislation, but We doubt il serious
antagonisms exist among any great number Of
people on the innate cussedness of the saloon.
No one, more especially men in daily touch with
its sordid life, believes that there is any respect
ability in saloon 1t does not add to fhe good
name OF any man nor is there anything about it
which helps his own self-esteem.
We do not refer to the responsibility of "hiah
Ifows We have in mind the good square
everyday man who believes in his home and has
kindly and tolerant attitude toward all his
fellowmen; the man who knows what It IS to
work hard and fight for a comfortable existence.
such men have no real respect for a saloon
though they may be found in one more frequent
" than they think is good for them.
Recognizing this basic conviction as existing
81 the minds of so per cent Of average men and
ninety.nine and a half per cent of the average
women, why is it not advisable for those inter-
ested in temperance to center their efforts on
the reduction Of the saloons in the city of Homo
lulu and the outlying districts under the jnris-
lliction of the Oahu Liquor Commission?
Here is practical work that will enlist sup.
port and cooperation from all believers in tenn
perance Furthermore, it is timely The Liquor
Commission will in fewsweeks sbe holding ses-
sions for dc semi-annnal consideration and is
suance Of licenses.
For instance, few men with average hearts
ID their makeup believe III the maintenance Of
saloons in close proximity to the fishmarket. a
man does not have to he a purist or a crank OF
a highsbrow to experience deep feeling of dis
gust and resentment at the exhibition of work
ingmen spending "a very large share Of their
weeks wages at a saloon while the wife and fam
iIy wait across the street for the pittance that
may remain for nourishing food.
If you are in doubt about such exhibitions
actually being staged, spend a little of yonI
spare time at the fishmarket, especially on a
Saturday afternoon
So il appears to many that there are many
lines Of practical activity for the men and women
having a sincere desire to help their fellow-men
and wipe out the evil of intemperance.
Reduction in the number of saloons is a prob
lem right s'under the soles of our feet so to
speak and what is very much to the point, it is
one on which there is very little difference OF
opinion

Meditations for Wednesday.
The Bethany Silence.

The Bethany Silence.
In the last week OF the life OF our
Lord, there were two days of silence.
One was Wednesday. tbs silence Of
ihe Bethany home; the other was
Saturday. the Silence of the Tomb.
These two days were nos days Of in
activity but of recuperation. one for
the Trial of the Cross. the Other for
the Glory of Easter.
The power of Silence is not alwevs
recognized. Great souls have gener-
ally been horn and reared In the re
gions OF Silence. "Wednesday was not
waste-day. but PRAYER day. wA"A
the soul of :he Lord took firmcr root
in the unseen and the eternal.
The invitation TO prayer. unaoceoi-
ed by the multitude. is an invitation
to power.
Our Lord was much IN Silence.
Thirty years out of the 81 Of His life
are appropriately named the years o.
Silence. Even during tho three years
of His public ministry He is often re-
ported as withdrawing into solitude.
going into mountain or a desert
place to be by himself He went no.
only for rest but to gain power.
If any age ever needed The Sabbath
day fer rest and silence, it is our age.
Wonderful its activity and achieve
ment, its creature comforts and com.
mercial enterprise-yet there is fear
that ii will be classed as an age OF
superficial civilization. The one who
has learned to hear has more power
