ONE KIND or PROMOTION.

Editor Honolulu Star-BHlletin.
Sir: Promotion work, pure and SIM
pie, is what Hawaii needs to give us
that crop of tourists we are continual
ly expecting. Promotion work, un-
consciously done is the kind that tells;
as the following will show. .-
One of the most beautiful spots in
this world is Lake Tahoe and its sur
roundings in California. During the
summer months thousands visit this
world beauty spot" They come from
all parts of the world, and they may
be found there until it is near time
for the snow to fly. No place in the
wide world does the moon shine with
such soft, pale, silvery sheen as on
Lake Tahoe, and an evening spent on
the bosom of this lake in one of the
many launches that dot its surface is
an evening to be remen bered through
life, and carried with one across the
Great Divide If possible. .-.:~---1>#.e.
Some months ago enc of the lake
launches left its pier and swung quiet
ly out into the lake with merry party
on board. Some were strangers to
each other, but that condition of af-
fairs does not count on boat ride on
Lake Tahoe. After a cruise about the
like with the soft, silver glisten of
the harvest moon on the CLASSY sur.
face of the water, the throb of the
engine was stilled and the launch al

When permission was refused japanese
aviator to make flights on Oahu, some of the
well-known Nipponese were deeply resentful
because, they asserted the aviator and his
countrymen here in general were under base
less suspicion. Now that some members of the
japanese community have shown themselves
willing to contribute to help spy those
who were the first to resent the "baseless sus-

DOES THE PUBLIC SENTIMENT OF
HONOLULU INDoRSE THIS?

r. Burglary, hold-up men, thuggery, and the
sort of dangerous drunkenness that accom-
panies disorder, appear be on the increase in
Honolulu. Perhaps it is only because the bur-
glars and footpads are getting holder. At any
rate there is more criminality here than there
was few years ago. And the police force
seems less able to cope with it.
Yet the community is permitting the worst
possible school for crime to grow and flourish
in its very midst.
The nameless and shameless district of
Iwilei is doubling and redoubling its sordid
population There, within few steps of the
pineapple canneries; employing many girls and
boys, is center of vice and crime which ra-
dates poison throughout the city. Inevitably
such district breeds criminals. From the
unspeakable creatures who live off the earnings
Of shame to the thug or the pickpocket who
gravitates to the vice district for security or,
protection or to fiaunt his ill-gotten money, the
tainted atmosphere fosters lawless men and
lawless acts
Yet within the last few months particular
~ within the last few weeks the vice breeding
population has grown enormously By steamer
after steamer women from the coast cities have
come to Honolulu to ply their trade. Driven
from Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver, Portland,
San Francisco, they have come to Honolulu.
They bring their hangers-on- the hyenas that
skulk around for evil pickings. They come to-
cater to the lowest of passions.
What does Honolulu think Of it,
One hears the excuse of indifference that
the social evil always has existed and always
will exist. One hears the excuse of expediency
that Oahu has a large soldier population and
therefore Honolulu must permit this district
to develop. One hears the superficial state
ment that the police won't do anything
about it.
OF course the police won't do anything about
It unless there is different sort of public SEN
timent from that which has shown itself. So
long as public sentiment will tolerate Iwilei, ]
the police are not to be blamed for their atti-
tude. If citizens generally wink at vice and
lawlessness, what hope is there in police
crusader
The remarkable thing, the almost unbelieya-
bic thing, about the situation today is that
Honolulu should allow this great expansion in |
the vice district that Honolulu should permit
the rapid spreading of the evil cancer.
Does the public sentiment of this community
indorse the social evil

THE GOOD oUTwEIcHs THE BAD.

a definitely encouraging out look for national
business is seen by Henry Clews, the New York
banker whose periodical statements are close
" followed in Hawaii. He thus discusses the
Influences Of the war situation in his latest
trade letter:
IF we were to balance the favorable and
unfavorable conditions affecting business, we
should summarize them thus:
Favorable Easy money, better political
outlook, good harvests, interstate decision,
heavy exports
ssUnfayorable War, economic strain, slack
trade, injured confidence, foreign liquidation.
uThe balance between these factors is large
" IN favor Of Improvement. There is no ques-
ton but that the year closes with q tendency
toward reyiving confidence and increasing
activity. Depression is gradually fading.
Cheap money and low prices are powerful in
centises to new enterprise. Our great corpora.
tions, particularly the railroads, have pushed
economy to the point Of starvation. They must

cagerly alert concerning these possibilities. In

least 5000 more persons would attend
any day other than Easter. The date
originally was set for Saturday. April
3. but 1t was changed to Sunday at the
request of several Havana associations.
