SAFETY FIRST"

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
! Sir: do not think that the slogan
| Safety First" is being given the con
sideration that II should by the pub
lie, especially those who do not ride
in autos: and while Honolulu is ex-
| tremelv fortunate in not having many
accidents cn her streets mt the pub
| lie is educated to observe the caution
that is demanded from it. automobile
accidents will surely find place in
| the records.
The authorities do not allow auto
mobiles to climb up on the sidewalks:
should they not also prevent pedes,
trians from going out on the streets
at will? The majority of the acci-
dents of the present day are the re-
suits of pedestrians crossing the
streets carelessly. without exercising
proper caution One cannot stand on
any downtown sidewalk for FIVE min
uteS without seeing person start
across the street sOme place in the
middle of the block, paying no heed to
possible approaching traffic that has
the undisputed right to the street at
that point, and are brought out of
their dreams by the furious hOnking
of an automobile horn close to them.
Carelessness On the rart of the pc
destrian rather than on the part CT
the chauffeur is the prime cause of
nearly all the accidents.
Quite a number of cities of the
mainland have ordinances fOrbidding
pedestrians to cross the streets in the
middle of the bloclis or diagonally or
anywhere except at crossings Such
an ordinance would work we'll in Ho-
nolulu. 1t would be no hardship on
pedestrians, as the cross streets are
so close together one would have but
few steps to go, to cross a busy
thorcughfare under the protection of
a traffic officer, and along the lines of
safety first"

EXCLUSION ACT
Held AN insult
TO RACIAL PRIDE
Nippu Jill and Hawaii Hochi
Urge Foreign Minister to
Change Policy to U. S.

The Nippu Jill in an editorial yes
terday gave its version of the exclu-
sion act proposed in the present Con-
gress. In summing up the situation
it SAYS: l.. s
"The Pan-Pacific International Ex-
position held at San Francisco last
year, and participated in by Japan,
helped to bring closer relations be-
tween Japan and America. On the
other hand Congress is trying to re-
peat what the California legislature
did several years ago. The state leg.
islature tried to place the japanese
In disfavor by passing an act prohibit
ing japanese to hold land. Now Con-
gress tries to regulate Japanese entry
into America.
I'VE dare say that this move on the
part Of Congress is an insult and a
maltreatment of the Japanese. We
fear that this will destroy the good
work done by the exposit On. The
Japanese government has so far been
very weak in its stand on this ques-
ton. II stood the limit in relation to
the immigration question. We blame
the Japanese government for the pres
ent movement. We must urge our
foreign minister to change his policy
toward America and take stronger
stand on these questions.
Hochi Takes Same Stand.
The Hawaii Hochi in it's editorial
OF yesterday takes practically the
same view as the Nippu Jill, declar.
ing that it is an insult to the Japan
eSe. They say:
The movement in Congress to pass
an act which prohibits Japanese from
landing in the United States is an in
suit. Those who have national honor
or racial pride cannot keep still. We
do not care what one or two congress
men say for the anti-Japanese move
ment, but we must know that the ac-
tlon OF these congressman represents
large majority of the thoughts Of
the people.
We find that the feeling of the
United States toward Japan is getting
more and more strained, and we feel
that this feeling is bound to bring very
bad results in the future

BURNS.

The man whose birthday is being celebrated
the world over today never reached fortune,
nor, in his lifetime more than provincial fame,
vet he stands as one of the few poets really
loved by every generation since his own time,
and by every class and degree of mankind
familiar even slightly with his works.
Scotland proudly claims him as her bard,
but he is a son of the world-the creation of
its passion and delight; the heir to its failings;
the exemplar of its high ambitions; the trouba-
dour of its loves; the penitent of its follies.
Even in their broadest dialect his lyrics sing
the songs common to all human hearts. "The
Cotter's Saturday Night, 3" fThe Twa Dogs,
and "Highand Mary" are universal in their
appeal These and an hundred others reveal
kindliness, breadth of sympathy and of un-
derstanding which make Robert Burns pre-
eminently poet of the people, and they illus
trate how much more enduring are sincerity and
love than any quality of mere brilliance or pol
ish, or any depth of erudition.
This deep humanity that is the essence OF
Burns and his songs causes even the strictest
to forgive his excesses and his manifest flaws.
His life, with its many unhappinesses, has made
the world better One hundred and fifty seven
years after his birth, and nearly one hundred
and twenty years after his death, he has a
stronger hold on the worlds affections than
when as the "Boy of Ayr" he was the literary
lion of Edinburgh.

JAPANESE AIDING THE CARNIVAL.

Thanks to the ill-advised activities of one or
two agitators moved by personal reasons, the
Japanese community was given some undesira-
bic and undeserved publicity in reference to
the 1916 Carnival.
An effort was made to show that the COM
munity so disapproved of Governor Pinkham Is
policies that it would not cooperate with the
Carnival management in getting up the annual
lantern parade and attendant features of the
February playweek. The effort was combined
with.a plea for prejudice, but it entirely failed
of its purpose The Japanese community as a
whole, and the representative men as leaders,
soon showed that they resented this effort to in
volve an issue of the past-and never an i'm
portant issue at that with the annual Carnival
participation. There was. no reason for doing
so and plenty of reasons for not doing so.
Now the Japanese community, through capa-
bic and representative committees is going
rapidly ahead on plans for the most elaborate
features Of the kind ever shown. The japanese
lantern parade, with its procession of fairy
floats, is always one Of the big features of the
Carnival, peculiarly attractive to the visitors.
Artists in form and color, with delicacy of
fancy and felicity of execution, the Nipponese
always produce miracles of Illumination which
stir tie crowds to thrills of delight. And the
Japanese never forget that on the day they
have chosen for this parade Washington s
h;rI|'61y II IS fitting TO do honor to the father
81 their adopted country.
