Christendom giving special heed to
the temperance issue. Never was
there such a day of temperance jubi.
lation as this. In spite of occasional
set-backs, the cause is winning all
over the world Phenomenal victor
les have been won for temperance IN
Britain, France, Germany and Russia
since the war broke out. It Is prob
ably safe to say that there have been
greater triumphs for temperance IN
the past fifteen months than in the
past one hundred years. The case
of alcohol versus non-alcohol has al
most ceased to be debatable.
One big factor is the modern argu-
ment that abstinence makes for eff
cheney. This is the slogan of most
big business enterprises today. The
deadliest blows to John Barleycorn
are being dealt by the unsentimentai
and coldly calculating commercial
spirit of the twentieth century, which
has scientifically proved to itself that
alcohol diminishes the efficiency OF
men. With Daniel, our times are
learning that self-indulgence does not
promote manliness or might.

PLAN URGED TO
Retire FEDERAL
JUDGES ON PAY
Bill in Congress Would Benefit
Judiciary of Hawaii and
Alaska
A. A. WILDER I'M CAPITAL
PRESSING SCHEME THERE
Hopes No Successor for Judge
Dole Will Be Named Until
Idea is IndorSed
BY c. s. ALBERT.
Especial stsr-Bullet;n correspondence


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec: 1.---
Legislation will be sought in Con-
gress to place the judiciary of Hawaii
on the same footing as that afforded
by the states. It is planned to give
the judges retirement with full pay
after ten years service, and upon at
tanning the age of 20 years.
1t is said that Hawaii and Alaska
are the only exceptions to this bene-
fit extended to judges. A campaign
will be waged to break down this
barrier.
A bill will be introduced soon after
Congress assemblies, providing for the
retirement of judges in Hawaii The
usual safeguards, as now prevailing in
the States, win be contained in the
measure when formulated.
Arthur A. Wilder of Honolulu is
leading in the fight to secure retire
ment for Hawaiian judges. He will
see that the bill is presented to Con-
gress. He is extremely anxious that
Judge Sanford B. Dole shall become
beneficiary under the legislation, II
enacted. For that reason he has COM
ferred with Attorney-general Gregory
and urged him to not designate Judge
Dole's successor until the outcome Of
the fight IN Congress has been de
termined. He will seek to have the
judge continue temporarily in Office
until he can retire under the new en-
actment. IL his efforts in that, direc-
ton prove successful.
II n the infonfion of Mr. Wilder to
conduct a vigorous campaign In be.
half Of the proposed change. He
viii confer with many senator's and
representatives on the subject and
urge them to support the proposition
when II comes ub Tor action.
In the opinion of Mr.. Wilder espe-
ciai consideration should be shown
Judge Dole because Of his work at
the time of the provisional republic in
Hawaii and the transfer of the islands
to the American flag without blood
shed.
