CROOK IN MULES, TAIL ISSUE

Kansas City, Mo-, May 5.--Rules
as to mules tails entered into the pro
ceedings of the Kansas City Court Of
Appeals Tuesday when the court held,
in affirming Cass County decision,
that the buyer of a mule, which prov
ed to have a crooked tail when the
animal was represented to be sound"
is entitled to recover the cost price.

brought suit against Alonzo Parish,
also farmer, for the purchase price
of two mules, which he alleges he had
bought from Parish believing them to
be sound Later, he said, he discov-
cred they had crooks in their tails.
No expert testimony was adduced to
show what effect crooked tails had on
the value of mules as farm animals.

savory mess never thoroughly cleaned up.
But it has been and will be salutary. When
fifteen members of the house are willing to vote
for a colleagues expulsion on the grounds of
moral unftnesS, it shows that in the minds of
the majority moral fitness is coming to be
recognized as quality which the territory has
a right to expect of its lawmakers.
OF the thirteen who voted against expulsion
and thereby prevented the resolution from re-
ceving the necessary twOthirds vote, some
were doubtless honestly Of the belief that kupi
hea should be kept in his seat. Granting hon
esty and sincerity to these, their estimate of
the qualities demanded Of public officials in
Hawaii was evidently based on backward in
stead of a forward view. They need to look
into the future Others who voted for Kupihea
apparently gave no consideration whatever to
the issues at stake.
The effect of the entire kupihea incident is
going to be beneficial. At the outset it resulted
in some sound comment from the circuit court
bench upon the duties of parents and guardians.
1t drew attention to an omission in the terri
torial statutes by which q negligent parent or
guardian mis- ht escape responsibility, and a
bill was at once introduced covering the point.
1t brought about a wholesome investigation by
the house of the conduct of one of its own mem
bers and emphasized the requisite of moral
character in public life. So, though Kupihea
retains his place. we do not regard the incident
as valueless The majority of the house has
declared for decency.

HAVE PATIENCE!

An editorial in Manila newspaper voices
resigned complaint that the present admins
tration doesn't seem to be paying much atten-
ton to the Philippines.
Hawaii occasionally has much that same sort
of resigned feeling, too. We suspect at times
that Washington is more deeply concerned
about keeping out of the European war than
about free sugar; worrying more about the
Mexican reyolutionists than about the Kalihi
channel; perhaps even more interested in cur
rency and ship purchase bills than in the federal
building site How it can be we do not under
stand but Wilson moves in mysterious way
his wonders to perform, and perhaps in the
distant future Washington may rock the. cradle
days. and walk the floor nights with soothed,
plaeated and fattered Hawaii.

THE STRIDES OF PRoAIsI1loN

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir: | am more than pleased 10
note the steady onward march toward
prohibition. There seems. hardly a
newspaper published today that does
not contain among its columns some
reference to the cnrushing tide Of tenn
ierance th't is fast finding its level
and submerging the saloon and its
traffic. think that one of the strong,
est arguments against liquor is the
fact that many Of the newspapers OF
the mainland emphaticaIly refuse to
carry whisky" advertising in their
columns, and ! am told that the Star.
Bulletin is among that army Of up
ffters.
Conditions have changed wonderful,
ly within a short space OF time, SO
far as liQuOr Is concerned But it is
no spasmodic move. Influences. LOOK
ing toward the end that is fast ap-
lroaching-a world without liquor -
have been steadily ct work for many
years. Each day brings thousands OF
converts to the prohibition banner
Thousands have experienced a pro,
found feeling OF adherence for the
distillcry and the saloon What was
Cnce tolerated, excused and winked at
is now frOwned on. and the taking
Of enc drink OF alcoholic liquor bv
the employees OF many OF the trans.
continental railways. whether off OF
on dirty at the time, is punished by
immediate discharge from the service
bringing to the attention any prece.
dent in the support OF the liQnOr traf.
fic will be a most unwise move. What
was tolerated yesterday is condemned
today and it is going to remrn con.
demned. -;
Another strong and able argument
for prohibition is the army Of young
men all over the world, representing
all classes, creeds and conditions, de-
handing the eradication of the gin
mill and barroom.
And it is a world move. Govern.
ments are taking hNnd in the game.
Russia has prohibition, emphatic and
absolute. France is nearing the goal
with massive strides. Great Britain.
according to statements made by her
leading men, will be a close second to
France. The United States, Is seeing
the light through the same glasses as
other nations. There is a world pro
test arising against alcoholic drink
The traffic OF such wares; has come
under the ban of the powerful govern,
ments Of the world. ,.,l,I

A sample of the logic of the peace-at-any-
price propagandists who killed the compulsory
military education bill is this: One of them
spoke at public hearing of Uncle Sam great
example of neutrality as an argument against
military preparation. This good soul entirely
overlooked the fact that the United States is
maintaining neutrality by armed force-yes,
literally that. Armed naval force was used off
Newport News when the German raiding aux
iliary cruisers came into port, T.. IS. naval yes
sells being sent out to see that no unneutral act
was committed by the refugees or the patrol
ling British cruisers. Off Honolulu harbor,
when German schooner was chased by Jap
anese battleship, the nearest approach to
naval vessel Uncle Sam here possessed was
sent sout to preserve the sanctity of neutral
waters On the Mexican border neutrality must
be preserved by powerful armed force. These
are concrete instances of the necessity for pre-
paredness that the ultra -pacifiers conveniently
overlook. They are long on sentiment and
short on logic.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: Men with large families, on
salaries. or limited incomes, are urg-
ed to buy at home, instead of dealing
with New York, or Chicago houses,
where their requirements can be had
for considerably less money. Please
note when a situation is vacant, usual
ly some person of unknown antece-
dents gets the place, and in many
cases heretofore have defaulted to the
sorrow Of their employers, while men
of established character and we'll
known ability, with families to pro-
vide for. and whose homes are per-
manently here, must give way to the
stranger who has no interest in our
community, and whu are carpet-bag-
gers. Our merchants no doubt would
like the working consumer to pay fan
cy pr'ces for their supplies, and as a
reward ieaore theiI own people when
ii comes to selecting employees.
Let US have reciprocity; it is a poor
rule that doesn't work both ways.
