ATTITUDE or PREACHERS TO.
WARD THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bnlletin.
Sir: The following is from the Pa.
ciic Wine, Brewing and Spirit Re-
view:
Some journals are alarmed be-
cause liquor dealers are beginning to
line up uncompromisingl against the
preachers. Let us reason with these
journals. Is it not true that the aver.
age prohibition preacher is chronic
agitator and privileged vagrant? Is
not his entire warfare against the
liquor traffic inspired by greed and
vice? Is not his attitude toward the
liquor traffic that OF the CRATER whose.
slogan is What is there in it for
meg q
p I'm England there is no prohibition
agitation. because the church of Eng.
Sand is the prepohd erating church on.
ganization and is maintained by the
government, which derives most Of its
revenues from the liquor traffic.
There is not likely to be any move
ment on the part of the churches OF
England against the liquors traffic be.
cause prohibition would reduce the
salaries Of the preachers about one
half. In England the preachers do
not denounee the partnership between
the government and the liquor traffic,
for the simple reason that there 10
something In 1t for them
Until very recently the French
government contributed to the main.
tenance of the Catholic, Protestant
and Jewish churches of France, and
the liquor traffic bore most of the
burden. There was no prohibition
agitation. When the complete sepa.
ration Of church and state was
brought about the wine industry
of France was so great that any
suggestion of prohibition would have
been killed by ridicule. Hence, the
preachers have refrained from attack.
Ing the liquor traffic although some
OF them are becoming decidedly hos,
tile to the saloons.
In the United States no support
has ever been given by the govern.
ment to the church organization, ex.
cepting In as far as tax exemption
gees. There is nothing in the LIQUOR
traffic for the preachers in the United
States. That is why the preachers
are SO active in attacking the traffic.
When any of the speeches OF prohf.

to Rev. Robson are analysed Il IL

Congressional filibusters are always interest
ing to spectators, even if deadly tiresome to
the senators and representatives who take part
The ssflibuster' is the preliminary method Of
blocking measure bitterly opposed by the
minority, and is resorted to only in extreme
cases. However, in practice these extreme
cases come along at least once session. By
holding the floor in debate hour after hour and
sometimes day after day, the minority object
ors can sometimes make the majority yield
because of oyerweening desire to get through
some pet majority measure or necessary APP
preparation bill.
The practice of "relaying" speakers by the
fIibustering forces makes possible such a
record as that Senator Burton has already
made in the fight against the Ships Purchase
bill. He has held the floor for three days with
short rests and intervening recesses. Senator
La Toilette once spoke eighteen hours con-
secutiVely when he headed bitter flibuster
movement. Senator Gore, the blind congress
man, was to succeed him. Gore did not imme-
fiately realize when LaFollette left the cham
Der and one of the senators trying to stop the
filibuster jumped into the breach and broke up
the continuity. The fact that Gore was sched-
Med to follow IsaFolette was well known and
the advantage taken of the blind senator
proved boomerang, making Gore immensely
Dopulaf in his own state.

Honolulu,s brisk fire insurance business in
1914 is shown by the fact that though rates had
been cut materially from 1913 standards, the
amount of net premiums collected last year was
only $1,000 less. In 1913 $571 1865 in premiums
was collected and in 1914 $564,81 Had the
old rates stood, the premiums would have
broken the 1913 record by thirty or forty thou
sand dollars. Statements that the companies
lost business last year are misleading. They
did more business than ever but they collected
slightly less in premiums. Result: the COM
munity benefited.

To the Editor Of the New York

Is not Germany the fountain head
of American culture? without the

the narrow, bigoted lives of your
Puritan ancestors. Germans come

In reply to the above letter, I will
say that am German by birth, and
having spent the first II years of
my life in Germany. i am, therefore,
we'll qualified to inform Mr.. Won
Schultzenheimer of the exact reason
why we Germans came to America.
In Germany there are only two classes
OF people, !. e., the educated and the
uneducated. which are further defined,
respectively, as the upper and lower
class; this latter class include those
of us who have emigrated to America,
and other countries of free thought
and speech. In Germany when a
young man arrives atss certain age
he is conscripted or drafted into the
army. and there forced to stay, for
number OF years, and, thereafter, to-
participate in all annual maneuyers
and for all this received 3 very small
recompensation, Announcing to about 7
cents per day In Eetmany no enc

ly adapted to a bread and water diet.
Mr.. American, can you begin to
see why Germans come to America {
Certainly you can. 1t was because we
wanted to get out from under eternal
suppression and the iron hand of a
compulsory military government, and
come to country where we have to
bow knee only to one King, our
mighty Maker. Again, we were de-
sirous of emigrating to country
where We could earn an honest liveli.
hood. and thereby gain advantage for
ourselves.
Mr.. Won Sehultzenheimer and /, as
well as all other Germans, came to
America simply because we didn't like
German government, we didn't sayyy
so much of the goosestep.

here as missionaries 20 enlighten you

There Are Reasons.

Paint-Up week, like Clean.Up
day, embodies the principle of
collective action. 1t is the con-
structive unit that appeals. The
pioneer spirit is as true today as
ever it was for prosperity build
ing. Paint.Up week indexes the
right kind of thrift, the econ
omics of the safe-guarded home.
It is the sign manuel of the pow
er of united citizenship, the edu-
eating force that influences the
promoter to locate here, and the
home seeker to buy property.
Paint-Up week means increased
valuations in the long run, adds
to the city revenues indirectly,
and not only reflects sanitation,
but is the impressive and aggres-
sive force that goes with pro.
gressiveness.
To build up in the City-Beau-
tiful sense is a duty. This sum-
mer will see other towns in CO.
operation with Baxter Springs.
This is the year of projects,
fine residences, good roads, and a
booster program for your own
city. And Paint-Up week is in
line with the boom that is steady,
useful, and promoting.
Let Baxter Springs 60 on and
prosper.
Boost for character, and a place
to live that makes for the life
worth living!

The Golden Rule.

there are many feet in this town
that neglect to tread the golden
pathway of life.
Il has been taught us at the
mother knee, preached to US from
the pulpit, fed to US in the
schools, declaimed from the lee
ture platform, and advocated
fromA thousand other sources.
But there are local ears that
hear not and eyes that refuse to
see.
The tail of the Golden Rule is
receiving some vigorous twists in
this town.
Often we are asked by some
merchant to preach the doctrine
of trade at home" We preach
lit, and it helps to enrich the mer'
chant who made the request.
That is good, for we believe in
patronizing local institutions
we like to see them grow, we
want the money kept at home.
But when the same merchant
whose money till we have helped
to fill sends out of town for his
Job printing we cannot but pity
the isolation of the poor old
Golden Rule.
Some people make their money
in this community, enjoy life in
the community, educate their
children at the expense of the
community, and then buy their
goods from merchants who are
| Not ia or of the community.
It Is some tug at the golden
tail.
There are some people who
want the earth for what they
sell and then expect to receive
some of their own purchases for
less than cost. And the Golden

and sneering at the frailties Of
their ueighbors.
Some want to hog everything

Occasionally we see a sancti-

while the mind within is devils
ing means of skinning others
out of their hard earned dollars.
The Golden Rule?
Why, the poor, decrepit old
rule is strangling three hundred
and sixty-fve days in the year.
Its coat of gold has turned to
rust, and the once sparkling wa
tiers of its purity are stagnant
from disuse.
The Golden Rule?
Can you point to a soul in all
this wide world who in all things
does unto others as he would
have them do unto him?
Possibly we, too, are twisting
the tail of the Golden Rule when
we publish this article, for we
are telling others of their faults

which we too often forget.
And yet we repeat, the Golden
