LET'S HAVE :.oRE LIGHT.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: From Kaimuki, Waikiki. 10
within few city blocks there Is no
light What Is the trouble?
II seems that on account OF the
shortage Of water up NHuanu valley
the lights ara turned on at o'clock
In the morning.
We have now the finest lot Of men
for our supervisors. Wake up ut
O'Clock in the morning and see for
yourselves.
What Is the use or having police
mounted patrol and specials? They
could not see 10 feet away from them.
II crime was committed on the high
way the police would be compelled to
wait for daylight to find the evidence
or the culprit For that matter any
other crime.
We pay our taxes to have light for
protection and to see those whom we
have to fear.
Wake up. some of you supervisors,
and see whether this is so or not. II
1t Is so, then 1t Is about time for you
to make the next move.

FEBRUARY RAINFALL
FAR BEL W NORMAL

photographer harrison, in his re-
port fer February, says that, except
for the period from the 10th to the
24th, the rainfall for the month was
far below normal, and streams were
again nearing minimum flow at the
end Of the month. The water in Wa
hiawa and the upper Nuuanu reser-
Foirs had reached q very low stage.
Under the head of Investigations the
territorial photographer says:
Additional Investigations made In
the PunaltiR valley On Oahu lead to
the conclusion that; minimum of
about eight million gallons per day,
and an average of about ten million
gallons per day of excellent water
may be obtained at the S00foot level
In that valley, and may be diverted
without interfering with existing diver
sions In the lower valley"

PESTS BARRED
FROM ENTRY
BY inspectors

Entomologist Ehrhorn reports the
inspection of 636 lots and 1864 par
cells, arriving in February, of which
81 were fumfgated, 81 burned and 8
returned. Nothing was found wrong
with rice and bean imports from
Japan and China at either Honolulu
or Hilo. Regarding pests intercepted
the superintendent of entomology
says:
"Twenty-three packages Of fruit and
five packages Of vegetables were TAX
en- from the baggage OF passengers
and immigrants from foreign coun-
tries; all were destroyed by burning.
In one package OF towering bulbs We
found many bulbs infested with the
bulb aphis (Pemphigus species), and
fumigated the package before deliv-
cry. A lot of onions and garlic taken
from Filipino was found infested
with the larvae of q Lepidopteron;
this illustrates how easy 1t would be
to introduce such pests. All such food
.stuffs are confiscated from these inn
migrants whether clean or infested,
but we make q careful study OF the.
materials before burning same. A
shipment Of cocoanuts from Tanning
island was fumigated before delivery
on account of being infested with
scale insects fHemichionaspis minor1
A cacao pod containing seeds and
consigned to the Hawaii Experiment
station arrived in decayed condition
The seeds were carefully removed ana
the decayed pod was burned; no indi-
cations of insect infestation were
found. Two packages OF tree seeds,
one package Of bulbs and one package
of plants arriving from foreign coun-
tries we're returned by the postmaster
as unavailable under the ruling of the
federal horticultural board 2
Brother Newell at TIilo inspected
.156 lots and 1896 parcels. Out Of
these % sacks Of potatoes had to be
overhauled for scab and dirt, seven
sacks being destroyed for diseased
condition. Inter-island inspection re-
suited In the passing Of 903 and the
refusal of Al packages.
Referring to the breeding Of para
sites the entomoIogist says that, ow-'

EDITOR
LIQUOR ADVERTISING.

H s.F#s
Patrons of the Star Bulletin who know that
this paper declines to accept liquor advertise
ments will be interested in the following COM
ment from the Christian Science Monitor:
i "0rer the veto of the states governor. the
Legislature of Alabama has made illegal the
publication in newspapers and magazines of
advertisements placed to induce sales of
liquors. The veto set forth amendments against
the constitutionality of such legislation. The
Legislature replied by action, which in turn will
lead to litigation and judicial decision ON the
issue of law involved, a decision that will be as
eagerly awaited by the press as by the adver-
Users whose business announcements have been
made lawless and criminal under the new
statute Alabama, being a high license state,
the logical argument that what q state pro-
hibits cannot be advertised within it, can, it
would seem, hardly be raised by champions.
|of law, pertinent as the argument is in states
where prohibition prevails
Viewed in its broader and less technical
aspects this new law. is interesting because it
reflects rising popular interest In the relation
of the press to community welfare. When al
publisher of a newspaper, conforming to his
own standard Of right and of public response
bility, or to the will of an aroused and enlight
ened local public opinion, or to a law of this
prohibitory kind, ceases to mediate between
the yender and the consumer he lessons thel
opportunity of the trader to dispose of his
stock.
at present the ethical renaissance amongI
professional advertising men, who act as mid
dlemen between byers and sellers, has not gone
far enough to lead them to declare unitedlyl
against handling liquor business. But individ-
uals among them, and some Of them leaders in
the calling, are so casting their influence. The
number of advertisers who decline to yend their
goods through publicity mediums in which
such advertisements find place is increasingly
steadily and rapidly. So also is the number of
publishers and owners of periodicals that rel
fuse to accept what they believe is, tainted
business they discTi lninate as between adj
vertisements offered them, on the ground Of [
refusal to be party to anything that is harmful
to their fellow men. IF such discrimination at
first means pecuniary loss they accept it as al T
part of the cost of rectitnde.
q collective, state action of this discrimi-
mating kind penalizing publicity given to a
specific form of business is upheld by thel
courts as well as by public opinion it will bel
apparently on the same ground that lotteries,l
fraudulent banking and mining schemes and
other forms of business have been put under
The ban Of law and press censorship and ex
slusion from the mails during recent years.
The good of the greatest number will be set
above the cupidities and immortality, to put it
no more strongly, Of the few. Once the state
begins to deal with business in a regulative
way it is bound to consider the modes of THAT
trade for increasing its volume and making

rights which are now believed to extend to ali
China and secured from Japan protection against
ihe aesfesson Of any third power which might

The sb-called twenty -one demands there
fore arctic be viewed in the light Of diplomacy,
particularly Of Oriental diplomacy. Japan GER
I1inly cannot expect acceptance Of all Of them.
Neither China nor the Powers more remote
from the Orient could see without protest the
Japanese acquiring long term territorial leases,
mining and commercial rights and the priyi-
|cee Of naming Chinese foreign advisors.
That such rights and privileges would event
unlly lead to the division of Manchuria between
Russia and Japan is boldly prophesied by q
we'll known newspaperman now in Petrograd,
i. J. Harrison. correspondent of the Japan Adj
rertiser. Writing from the Russian capital in
February, he said:
Japan has no intention of encroachng upon
Russia s sphere Of influence, and this being so,
any additional privileges which Japan may ex-
tort from China in South Manchuria or else
where will later stand Russia in good stead
when the war in Europe is over and she has
leisure to take stock Of her holdings in the ex-
Irene Orient They WILL in fact, create yalua-
be precedents which new and self-confdent
Russia will know well how to press home They
may indeed serve as the prelude to annexation
If both Manchurias by Japan and Russia re-
spectively.
Observers Of the recent developments in the
Orient also believe that Japan, by turning so
much attention to the Chinese situation, gives
virtual notice that she has no intention of send
ind the military expedition to Europe. It is
laken as q fact that her expulsion Of Germany
from the Orient ends her active participation
s the war. at least unless there are very grave
se,- backs for the Allies in the European battle
zones.

 ALASKA OPENED ID COMMERCE

mineral lands along the Kuskokwim with promising prospects of mercury bearing cinnabar, gold bearing quartz, placer grounds and coal lands, whose successful develop ment only waited reliable means of transportation such as is now promised by the newly discovered channel.
 Contiguous to the Kuskokwim val ley there are many thousands of square miles suitable for reindeer grazing. Captain Lukens reports that already the small initial gov ernment herd has grown until there are now about 6,OOO reindeer In this vicinity. He says that the cost of raising reindeer is very small. Three men can take care of 1000. The animals subsist on the country the year round. Even in the winter when the ground Is covered with snow, no extra feed is required for them. The meat of the reindeer Is comparable to that of our western beef. Even with the small market afforded at present the native herd owners are becom- ing prosperous, and now that bet ter transportation is promised by ships that will use the new chan nel there Is every reason to believe that this country will furnish many thousands of pounds of this7 excel lent meat for shipment to the Un- tied States.
 Like other large rivers of this part of Alaska, the Kuskokwim has a large salmon run. Captain Lu- kens states that now reliable trans portation is at hand, the canning companies are arranging to extend their operations into this region, but that the extent of this indus try can not be forecasted until after a year of actual fishing.
 Among other things given out in his announcement of the results Cf important charting operations In Alaska, Secretary Redfield states that plans are being made in Seat tie for the construction by different companies of two light draft yes sells designed especially to take care of the expected development Of The commerce of the Kuskokwim river, and that still another ship ping firm has already announced sailings to the Kuskokwim at the opening of navigation in the coming spring.

SPOONING Is CONDEMNED
 BY UNIVERSITY SPEAKER

Seattle, Feb. 1-Dancing and spooning as pastlmes for college students were dealt hard blow by Dr. M. J. Exner, a member of the international committee of the '. M. c. A., when he addressed 800 men of the University. of Washing ton last week, on "A Rational Fight for Self Mastery in the Sphere of Sex"
 "The modern dance is inexpedf- cn3.," he said. "There are certain conditions under which I would consider dancing proper, but uu-, less these are observed, you have no right to indulge in dancing"
 The conditions D.. Exner named were:
 l. The dancers Enust be free from personal contact.
 2. Women must observe propriety and modesty in d'ess.
 8. Chivalry must be mems con- stant aim.
 4. Women must maintain con tlnual attitude of modesty.
 "Spooning," said Dr. Exner, "ls a violation of the first principles Of chivalry. It lowers respect for women, and 1t helps to break down woman's only protection, her re- serve and modesty. It Is a mis- direction of affection and a lowering cS love. ...- ------- ..-----
 "Acollegman cannot afford to spoon. Promiscuous spooning ae- mUralizes the powers of concentra- tiUn and application, 30 important to a young man who would be successful in life. It exercises a demoralizing influence on intel lectuality." .

Golden, Colo, Feb. IA school for the education of prospectors in primary lessons in geology, mineral ogy and tests for minerals in the field and for the promotion of in- telligent prospecting will be opened this month at the Colorado School of Mines here. Old mining men of the state believe the school will revive interest in prospecting and some express the hope that the in- struction and stimulus imparted by the school many lead to the dis covery of another Cripple creek and another mining boom in this state.
 The school is the first of the kind to be established in connection with an institution like the school of mines.
 In addition to the lectures, la boratory instruction will be given.

REFUGEES OF MEXICO
 HAVE SIX NEW SKATERS

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. SO-Six daily newspapers printed here in spanish are eagerly road for news from Mexico by the big Mexican population of San Antonio and vicinity. Five thousand or more refugees are making their homes here pending final settlement of the revolutions and counter revolutions in the republic south of the Rio Grande. Of the six dailies, three espouse the cause of Carranza, two champion Villa and one favors Felix Dag.
 The Carranza consulate here an- nounced 1t paid out In telegraph tolls about 5000 monthly for ad- wees from various Mexican points and exchanges with Washington. These despatches appear in the To- cal Carranzista papers and are cop ird by the opposition, which refer to them In footnotes according to the Villista or Diazista standpoint. The newspapers bristle with news and comment on the Mexican situation, often going far afield for material.
 La Prensa, a Villista organ, pub Iished cablegram from Madrid re- porting that a paper there thought the United States government ought 10 intervene in Mexico in the name '5e the Monroe Doctrine and hu- manity.
 Intervention is deeply and sin cerely hated by the Mexican refu- gees here. They want none of 1t and declare that If the United states interyenes it will involve the Washington government in great war which will eventually drag in Europe and Asia. These refugees maintain that Mexico will work out it's own salvation and they pre- fer this method, even at the cost of many lives.
