THE ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITER
BUSY. s

The experience of members,of the territorial
grand jury with anonymous communications
is familiar one to newspapers. Whenever
any important event looms silp in the public
mind, il is the signal for a food Of letters and
postal-cards to the papers, many of which are
anonymous. If there is. any sort of issue or
controversy involved, some of the letters are
sure to be abusive, and meanly abusive at that,
since the anonymous letter-writer is usually a
coward.
The discussion of the county jail, scandal has
brought to the Star Bulletin, and presumably
also to the Advertiser, the usual unsigned and
nasty communications, which are promptly
dropped into the waste basket and forgotten.
1t appears that the jury investigation of the
county jail conditions has made it the target
for the skulKing letter writer who is afraid to
sign hts name: 6nfo atalS tracing such
communications to the source is usually inn
possible; but if the grand jury could do it in
this instance, it might rid thescommunity Of a

The fifteen hundred japanese on East Maui
celebrated for three days the coronation of
their. emperor, Yoshihito.s They celebrated it
with three days of ceremony and festivity and
on each day "haoles" Joined with them. And
the last day was a day not for Japan but for
Hawaii. Our correspondent calls it a demon
stration of local enthusiasm and loyalty and
an effort to show to the nation and town of
their adoption that the japanese are not nm
mindful of the privileges and opportunities
that are theirs
IS They had secured more than a thousand
seeding trees and last Sunday, their greatest
lay of celebration, they planted these trees to
make beautiful the community in which they
live. And the Americans and other Caucasians
of the community joined with them.

From Maui comes the sort of race-story the
Star Bulletin likes to publish. 1t is not riot.
1t is nota murder, suicide, race row, discovery
OF supposed spy, or slap at any alien or group
of aliens. Perhaps, when measured by the
standards of crime or public controversy it
does not rank as big news story" But It
is the sort of news item, nevertheless, which
counts more In the long run than most of the
happenings teeming with horrible details or
arousing fierce discussion.
