A wholesale liquor firm which ships quaint
ties of liquor into "dry territory . as Rosa &
Co. has been doing; which sells to men who are
yanked up by the federal authorities; which
executes their orders even after the ''suspic-
ions of the manager have been aroused-such
firm is lucky to get off with a three-months'
suspension of license. The manager contends
that he wasn't selling to ''blind pigs" but
appearances are all against him and SO are
three witnesses who allege that it was the man
ager who framed the deal"

MORE SPELLING NEEDED.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletln.
Sir: In Boston paper of recent
date, Frank w. Ballou of the Massa-
ehusetts department of educational in.
vestigation has lengthy article on
matters educational, in which he says.
"The children in these days are
taught to spell too many words, the
result being that they do not spell the
most common words correctly.
Carrying out this argument he
states: "The children in my school
examinations have spelled the word
which 'wich' lis times, substituted
their for there SO times and the
reverse Is times: separate was
spelled 'sepperate' SO times and this
was in Boston too.
= He states that it is foolish to make
a bluff at teaching children $4,000
words when they will never have use
for more than 2,100.
This complaint has been frequently
voiced by merchants and professional
men who like their clerks and stenog-
raphels and even high school grad
yates, in any capacity, to be able to
spell ordinary English words used in
business days correspondence.
/ can fully agree with Mr.. Ballou in
the statements he makes, for have
living, breathing example of such
delinquency, in the person of a child
13 years old who stumbles and guesses
at words with four and five letters,
but can name the physiological ar
terial makeup of the human heart, al
though he cannot spell one of the
names.
A small boy was heard to remark
that none of us kids in school can
spell the way grandmother can" Pos.
sibly he was right, but notwithstand-
ing all that we do not desire to "go
backward" But we do seem in dan
ger of befuddling the minds of the
youths of today with multitude of
half-learned things which, in the end.
simply amount to a muddle of vague
and foggy impressions. :.-
1t seems to the writer that before
we stuff in any more knowledge" on
the already crowded curriculum, that
seems now about to burst with the
mass of "fads" that have been taken
up, it would be well to stop and in
sist that children be trained thorough
ly in few of the old-fashioned funda-
mentals, such as spelling and the cor
rect use of ordinary English. -. +

The basis of all honest dealing, all law and
order, is truth-telling Without truth business
and government might as well close up shop.
The Oahu liquor license commission has given
those who hold licenses every opportunity to
tell the truth. Those who lie, evade and hide
in subterfuge have no right to hold licenses.
They have forfeited that right by violating the
first principle on which the board must adj
minister its important duties to the community.

Of the ways in which people tire each
other in conversation. The man who
talks constantly and exclusively
about his business, his ailings. his
family. his books, his misfortunes,
who always wants to prescribe for
his acquaintances or advise them
soon condemns himself to solitude
even in the midst of numbers. La
beled once with the pregnant mono
syllable his way clears before him as
by magic, for others cultivate the lit
tie strategies which keep them out Of
range. Yet any man may become a
bore at times. A good deal depends
upon moods and circumstances. Po-
etic justice indeed would require that
,bores be extinguished by enforcing
association with their own kind. The
most severe social punishment inilict-
led upon one of the species by great
man who had not acquired the fatal
faculty which tolerates fools was ad
ministered by Doctor Johnson. Said
