The President of the United States has just
selected the Journal the vehicle for his endorse

memorial to be established for Mrs Wilson,
Years ago The Ladies' Home Journal showed
the mistake of won1en's clubs devoting their time
to dabbling in literature and history, when in their
cities bitter local problems crying to be
studied and solved Today we find most Wonen's
clubs doing big constructive work in their home
communities And find in the Journal depart

of Womens Clubs and containing each month an
inspirational message from Mrs. Percy " Penny
backer, the President of the Federation.
"The Journal today" said it's editor recently
"sees actual light the horizon of the present
'woman's movement and it intends henceforth to
take out of that movement those elements that

them. The Journal will reflect the best of the new

The power of The Ladies' Home Journal is
derived from:

8. Direct service through vast personal CORE

q. Brilliant Interpretation of every new and

When William H. Taft was Secretary of War,
editor of The Ladies' Home Journal appeared
before him at a hearing on question of national
policy. With goodnatured reproach, Mr.. Taft said:
Because of your recent article in the Journal this
subject have been flooded with thousands of
letters from all over the country. Almost all the
women know have written to me-including eUen
my mother and my Wife."
The influence which the Journal exerts in
public affairs is indication of it's keenly up-to-
date appeal
Primarily the Journal is home paper
But no home is real home in which there is
not some thought Of vital things outside the home
of great movements of social change of the relation
of the home to school, to business, to politics.
Just so, publication which spoke only of the
three C's-cooking, clothes and children-could ap-
peal completely to the modern home.
The Journal for many years has been in the van
Of national progress
It the pioneer among magazines to fight
the patent medicine evil
It led the fight for the preservation of Niagara
Falls
It led in the abolishment of the common drink
ing cup.
Ten years ago it took up the question of a
and safe Fourth of July
It first gave national impetus to the civic clean
up idea.
There in the Journal regular departments
devoted to the girl who works.
There articles advocating broader infu-

There is fiction other subjects than love-

ENFORCING THE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
LAWS.

The supervisors have taken a stand in the
Lusitana improvement matter which is worthy
of general commendation. They have refused
to exempt this particular section Of the city
from the operation of the frentage-tax law and
will put through the paving on the local inn
provement basis, each property paying
his share.
Somesowners in the section say that the sup
eryisors made prediction promises not to en-
force the frontage-tax LAW In this case. The
Star-Bulletin does not know of such promises
but the Star Bulletin does know that in meet
ing after meeting during the last campaign
, every Republican candidate for supervisor
went upon the stump and pledged himself to
fair and impartial enforcement of the local
Improvement laws. That was his guarantee of
good fsith to the community In general and
without violating personal and political honor
no supervisor can now vote to exempt any one
section from the operation of the law which is
meant to apply to all.
We do not believe that the residents Of the
Lusitana district as a whole expect special
faxors. All they want to secure is an assur-
ahce that the law will be enforced everywhere,
and that every district must pay for its own
improvements 1t is largely the fault of the
supervisors themselves that there is some doubt
as to whether during the present year the
frontage-tax law has been impartially1 applied.
The delays in some districts, the legal action
brought by Manoa citizens and the private ut
tefances of at least one member of the board
have created some suspicion that certain dis
tricts might get certain favors. Now, we are
glad to say, the board appears to be taking a
firm stand. As soon as it is recognized that this
stand is to be permanent, the sections desirons
Of Improvement will be ready to pay on the
local assessment basis

SHAPING UP A CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
fFrom the Maui News.

Judge Stuart, in his suit against the governor
and the commissioner of public lands, is no
doubt playing political role in the hope OF
making the public land question of Hawaii a
live Issue. His petition for writ of mandamus
has a very familiar sound. In fact various pas
sages might well have been taken bodily from
some of Link McCandless' campaign speeches
That some other motive was in the judges
mind than that of impressing Hawaiian court
is very evident; else he would not dwell upon
the fact that the territory has 1851 ,818.77
acres of land, when he knows, as does every one
else in Hawaii, that but very small fraction
Of this area is of any value whatever from an
agricultural standpoint. Nor would he expa-
tate upon the thousands of mainland home
seekers who are being turned away because the
governor will not open this land to them. Such
arguments have no weight with persons who
know the real situation, but of course they may
make an impression on members of Congress
who are not so well informed.
There isn't any doubt that Judge Stuart s
plan would soon get rid of all the government
land left; but it is very certain that it would

HINTS AHUMPY"5 MIGHT
HAVE CHUcKED CHEFA
TICKET INTO BARREL

It Is a remarkable coincidence that
every time 'Humpy" Yong, Chinese
informer, finds ohefa gambler-for
10 per cent Of the possible proceeds
offered by the police--the incriminat-
ing evidence is either in a waste bar
rel or on the ground. But it appears
to be always thus when Humpy leads
the detectives, to the lottery man.
Last time Humpy did his jackal
trick the man arrested was charged
with having thrown a chefa ticket on
the ground, where it was found later.
This time the evidence, a cffefa sheet,
was found In waste barrel at the
place of All Chin in an alley off Bere-
tania street. All Chin claimed on the
stand in the police court Tuesday that
the detectives came, searched him, let
him go and Immediately called him
back, and that it was when he was
called back that the ticket was found.
He says he had no ticket to throw in
the barrel, as he had been searched
already, and that he did not go near
the barrel, anyhow.
Humpy, 1t is said, passed the barrel
several times. 1t is also said that he
can write chefa tickets. +"

not get the land settled. That it would get the
control of this land into the hands of private
corporations, there is no question whatever,
and very possibly the title also, since the law
preventing a mans disposing of his property
as he sees fit is open to serious question, which
has never been settled on a constitutional test.
Governor Pinkham's course in the main
should be supported by Hawaii and Congress,
for it really aims to conserve the territory s
land with view to the future. Diversified
agriculture in these islands has no smooth road
before it, though it is making progress and the
future is bright There is scarcely a doubt that
it will succeed. But the progress would be
UNNECESSARILY retarded by the wholesale dis
position of our lands, without conditions, and
to persons who had no other qualifications for
developing them than possibly, like Judge
Stuart, the money to pay the small fraction OF
the real value asked for them.
