DRY FARMERS SHOULD WINTER
 FLOW

Every farmer in Arizona who i~ at- tempting to utilize the natural rainfall should see to it that all the land which he expects to put in crops next summer is ployed this winter. This blowing should be done as deeply as possible in order that the moisture may penetrate well into the soil and for the purpose of preventing washing and taking care of the heaviest rain fall that may occur. It has ben oh- served that the farmers who sue ceded during the past dry summer did so usually because they had win ter falloWed' their land. one other essential in connection with the prac- tice is that if any considerable amount of rain falls upon the plOwed land during the winter. measures must he taken to conserve the moisture which has thus entered the soil This means that as soon as 1t begins to warm Ua

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 snicide 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 a member of a 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 il the League
begins the study of these problems it will be-
come an organizations of militant crusaders
filed with unquenchable Indignation at the in
sidious manner in which the army OF evil has
begun to occupy Honolulu.
And it is a biggerproblem than that of vice
and crime. Fhea whole problem of clean,
sound, honest city government is involved.
There will be no real cleanup until the men Of
the city take hold sof their government and
make il sohnd and efficient government.

CHRISTMAS COMING.

Editor Honolulu Star~Bulletin.
Sir: Let's forget the war, at least
forget II for the next few weeks.
Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore, insomuch as there seems 10 be
an idea abroad in the land that shis
coming Christmas has got to be q
Christmas without presents, all be-
cause of the war. Forget the war.
There is no place in this discussion
for people who value a gift according
to its monetary value Such people
are not worth as much as the hole In
the doughnut anyhow When a per-
son gets to stage where affection
and patriotism are figured out on a
dollars and cents basis, 1t is time
they crawled into rat hole and
pulled the hole in after them.
The people who value gift for the
affection that 1t represents. and not
for the money value, are the people
that count in this world.
Undoubtedly there will be families
this Christmas with money to throw
to the birds that will welcome an ex-
cuse for not giving presents There
win be other families who. though
brought ITO appoint very near. to be-
ing short of food, will manage to
scrape q little money together and
purchase gifts for their loved ones.
Let us consider the buying OF
Christmas presents this year on the
basis that no matter how much our
own circumstances are crippled, there
are others with much more 18K
cause for gloom than ourselves. and
also that the whole bloomin, business
might have been worse.
There are probably families here,
where "Merrie Christmas" and holt
day good cheer have been strangers
all too long. Let those who have been
fortunate. during the year make q
resolve to carry little genuine hap
piness into some home khis holiday
season. Get 1t into the shome If you
have to use crowbar to do II. For
get the war! N. G.

On CORONATION DAY.

Hawaii has particular interest in the coro-
nation Of the japanese emperor because Hawaii
comes more closely in contact with Japan and
the Japanese people than any other part Of the
United States Hawaii has a fuller knowledge
Of Japanese character, ideals, aims and per-
sonal aspirations than any other portion of the
American comnionwealth.
In Japan Hawaii is spoken of with unaffected
friendship This has been land Of oppor-
tunity for many Thousand Nipponese whose lot
in their own country was that of toll for pit

lection and sympathetic help of republic
With their patrioties love for the emperor and
the traditions 0fmanys the Japanese
in Hawaii have also the recognition that
America has meant 10 them prosperity in COM
mercial life and the freedom to mould their
own social life
Hawaii has contributed to their prosperity
and they have contributed to Hawaii's pros
perity. III
with the banzaisp that echo today and
tonight for Emperor Yoshihito and the .Japan-
csc Empire. there should rise also cheer for
the United States and the president. Very
much indeed Of the future friendship of Japan

Law reinforcement in Honolulu is quite as
much a matter of awakening the citizens who
are nov Indifferent and hpatheticp as It is Of
halnmefina the police department., the prose
cutting attorneys OF the supervisors
The recognition sof this fact by the Men Is
League of Central Union church last night is
n hopeful sign. Last night Is meeting crystal
lied into definite form and expression the be-
lief that many observers have had forced upon
them in the last few years that what Honolulu
needs to direct the moral energies of this com
mllnityl IS some fearless and devoted body Of
men and women who viii be "on the job all
the time. And being ION the. job means
arousing public sentiment as well as arollsing
public officials.
Without the consistent support of the citi-
zens of Honolulu, no law enforcement cam
paign, no public welfare campaign can make
Roadway against the elements Of evil. For the
elements of evil 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 a 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
ont 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 mate testimony of detention homes, asyi-
INNS 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.

crime ,situationsin 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 ITO women,

passed along that for the puryeyor of CONNER

DOLLAR CHRISTMAS FUND FOR
5ELcIANs; SECOND YEARS
APPEAL.

New York, October Is, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Twelve months ago made an
appeal to Americans in behalf OF the
Dollar Christmas Fund for Belgians
one OF the many efforts made here and
in Europe to avert the threatened
starvation or nation The response
was prompt and generous. Not alone
the rich contributed but even many
OF the very poor. with the happy re-
suit that We were able to send to Bel
GUM Christmas ship laden not only
with Christmas good wishes but with
food and clothing. Those we're the
days when every shipload meant lives
saved. Some OF our best friends
were newspapers and even little chill
l,dren in Sunday schools gave freely
OF their penny banks IN behalf Of
other children less happy than them
selves.

that the prospect Of faminefor this

moved. One-third of a soldiers ration

The task now undertaken by the

which are most urgently needed, and
for which special money must be pro-
