The reason why this community has failed TO
realize the danger is because the crimes have
largely been confined to the Orientals, to the
poorer. classes, to the obscure sections of the
city. Murder and suicide in the Oriental sec
tions has come to be matter of almost
everyday routine police news
The remark has been made again and again
that not until member of prominent white
family is murdered or assaulted will Honolulu
wake up.
In this situation the action of the Mems
League is promise of an intelligent and fear
less gripping of the main problems. There is
not the slightest question that. if the League
begins the study of these problems it will be-
come an organization of militant crusaders
filed with unquenchable Indignation at the in
sidions manner in which the army of evil has
begun to occupy Honolulu.
And it is bigger problem than that of vice
and crime The whole problem of clean,
sound, honest city government is involved.
There will be no real cleanup until the men Of
the city take hold of their government and
make it q sound and efficient government.

Law enforcement IN Honolulu is quite as
much matter of awakening the citizens who
are now Indifferent and apathetic as it is Of
hammeripg the police department, the prose
cutting attorneys On the supervisors.
The recognition Of this fact by the Mems
League Of Central Union church last night is
q hopeful sign Last nights meeting crystal
lied into definite form and expression the be-
lief that many observers have had forced upon
them ID the last few years that what Honolulu
needs Ito direct the moral energies of this COM
munitS is some fearless and devoted body of
men and women who win be ION the job all
the time And being ton the job" means
arousing public sentiment as well as arousing
public officials.
Without the consistent support of the citi-
zens Of Honolulu, no law enforcement cam
paign, no public welfare campaign can make
headWay against the elements of evil For the
elements ofsevil are in the business of vice and
crime for their living and they are not to be
beaten without relentless struggle.
Year after year in Honolulu there have
arisen men who called for fight against vice
and fight for impartial and industrious en-
forcement of the law. Societies numberless
have been formed, held meeting or two,
passed resolutions and passed away. A few
men have hammered ON. They have pointed
out that with political and social conditions
as they are becoming, it was only matter of
time until crime would begin to run rampant
in this community.
That time is imminent The police and hos
pital records; the stories told in sacred conf
dence to physicians, clergymen and lawyers;
the mute testimony of detention homes, asyl-
ums and morgnes bear evidence to the appalling
increase In crimes of lust and of violence, in
crimes of passion and of debauchery, in the
Paradise Of the Pacific. ..----.

FACTS.

I A speaker at the Mems League meeting last
night asked for facts concerning the vice and
crime situation in Honolulu. Here is one sig
nifcant fact Within the past year, according
to police statement, more than 100 women have
come from coast cities to enter the Iwilei dis
trict. Last night approximately 10 women,
most of them newcomers to Honolulu, were in
houses there. Among the denizens of the
underworld of San Francisco, Seattle, Port
land, Tacoma, Vancouver the word has been
passed along that for the purveyor of CONNER
cial vice Honolulu is an "open town.

he has been paying as much tax.
Funds for the maintenance of the
army and navy, as, well as all 9TH
er federal expenses, have thus in
the past been raised wholly in the
form of increased cost of living.
1t is true, of course, that we
now have an income tax law on
the statutes, and this will help
some; but until the tax on in
comes in excess of $4,000 an
nually is increased much above
the present rates, and until there
is a stiff Federal inheritanee-tax
law, so that those who derive the
greatest benefit from military ex-
penditures will bear the heaviest
burden OF their cost, as they
should, the poor man will con-
tinue to carry the heaviest load
in proportion to his ability to pay,
just as he always has done and
just as the stone in the bottom Of
the wall bears more weight than
its more fortunate brethren on
the top.

truth is that not one penny of the

taxes has gone toward defraying

none Of it goes toward defrayin9

1t is interesting to note that the

1t is pertinent to inquire where
the millions that have been pour
ed into militarism to the enrich
ment of the armor and ammuni-
ton capitalists came from. These
millions were not picked up in
the streets, and they were not
contributed by the rich. Our citi-

almost as much as the rich; and

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

School now has been open q
little over two weeks and we art
all very nearly settled for the
winter.
he places of residence for thr
coming eight months and a week
are now assigned if--well that j..
sufficient.
We are all very pleased with
the new teachers and like them
better every day.
One of our Seniors seems To
have new idea Of American his
tory as he was heard informing
his teacher one day that the
Dutch through Connecticut was
a good place to settle, SO they
came over here and settled.
We think some of our H. S.
pupils must have been advertis-
ing hosiery for some concern last
Tuesday for they came to school
in an amazing variety of colored
socks. We wonder what profit
they made. By the display we are
led to believe they must have
been we'll paid. No one as yet
adopted their styles.
Some of us think that woman
suffrage is getting a pretty good
start in the high school.
The Senior class of 1916 is al
ready large enough to please
some, for there are thirty-one
members. But we are in~hopes of
having a number more before or
