4 news despatch from the island Of Hawaii says
HI1O December IS.-Followng the three murders
by Maxine Bondad and his death near lionohaa
recently, Deputy Sheriff w. J. Richard of liamakna
has started campaign among the plantation men IN
his district to round up every man who is una~thiy
carrying firearms. Last week he arrested three men,
and example made of them by Judge Hall in
the Hamakua district court. "-~u
Deputy Sheriff Richard has instructed every store
in his district to sell ammunition to any IN
less he brings written permission from himself TO
buy it, He says he proposes to make it so hard for
irresponsible to carry revolver or to get am
munon for one in his district that pruiscuous shoot
ings there will be almost pau ...- p
This is the right sort of action, anG the sheriff of
the islands and its other officials of the law should
back up Deputy Richard TO the limit.
Promiscuous :glIn-tOting" in Hawaii has been
responsible for many bloody crimes in the last three
wears, vet the authorities have failed to take any
adequate action. III" ."~
Give some irresponsible man a knife or revolver.
fill him up with bad gin or worse whisky, turn him
loose in a community, and tragedy follows Some
times the man gets one of his own race sometimes
of another race; sometimes his victim is shot or
sashed in quarrel. sometimes the combination of
Iirresponsibility and booze sends the desperate
amuck without apparent and he shoot or knfes
the first man or woman in his way. "=.
Why are there so many bloody crimes in the is
lands? Why many cold blooded and hot, blooded
murders? Why is there steady increase in these
crimeSe I'LL" -: +.
The three main factors, we would say are the
growth of disorderly elements in the community as
coolie labor is brought here promiscuous gun-tot
ing; and booze .".-..=*.
The disOrderly, desperate men would be far fewer
without their accompaniment Of deadly weapons
and booze. In fact, ninetenths of them would
probably be law-abiding H. ~.:..:.
This is not new subject. Legislation to stop
the sale of deadly weapons to irresponsible persons
has been proposed 1t has also been proposed that
the county authorities in each county search out and
disarm men carrying such weapons 1t would be
big job and hard job, but better to do it than inert
ly TO watch the tide of violent crime rise steadily in
Hawaii. ~.---<

LETTERS
NO FAULT or THE POLICE

Honolulu, T. H., sDec. 90, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Dear Sir: Since having a conyersa-
ton with you this morning in regard
to an article in Tuesday evenings
paper, entitled Thief Defeats Old St.
Nick" | felt that in justice to the
sheriff and Capt McDuffie / should
have the following facts published:
w. E. Weatherby called up the de.
tective department and asked for Mr..
Hutton. | was called to the phone
and the. following conversation TOOK
place over the phone.
Mr.. Weatherby told me that some
one had entered his home during the
day by breaking the screen en- one
of the windows and that some. articles
were taken. | asked him if he had
any idea of anyone in the neighbor
hood having done this and he stated
it looked like kids work told him
that l would personally look up the
case. He then said that only few
rencil boxes had been taken and they
were of no value, but that he thought
he would let me know of this mat
ter
| have had considerable dealings
with Mr. Weatherby in my office at
the police station, and, taking this as
personal matter, | did not notify
MY captain Of the affair at all.
l had intended to visit Mr.. Weather
by the following evening and go over
the matter with him, and you can
imagine my surprise on reading the
article in your paper that afternoon.
When Mr.. Weatherby states that
said, Lots of other people in tina:
neighborhood had been robbed and he
had no particular reason to kick" he
told deliberate lie. informed him
that / was surprised to hear of his
! place being entered, as it was the
FIRST complaint from that neighbor,
hood that had received.
Hoping that | have made it clear
that Sheriff Rose and Capt McDuffie
I; knew nothing of this matter, | am,
Very truly yours,

No Hyphen In
Premier's Name

Does the new. premier OF Great
Britain take his name with or without
the hyphen? Is it Lloyd-George OF
Lloyd George 49,. -...
Answer: He takes it without
A newspaper correspondent gives
the following timely information:
The new premier's name is George.
His brothers name is William George,
and because his youngest brother,
David. had , middle name, your con
tenporaries insist on hyphenat!ng
him. The reason for the prominence
given to the middle name is out OF
compliment to his uncle, Richard
Lloyd, who on the death of Premier
Georges father took the two boys AND
their mother into his humble home
in a Carnarvonshire village and out
of his meager earnings as a shoe
maker supported the little family and
gave the brilliant David an education
that ultimately made him prime min,
lister of Great Britain. Today the lit
tie Welsh lad who suffered, struggled,
questioned and conquered is possibly
the most remarkable figure in the
world" i. ...-.. -. . ..

One of the most practical objections against Dele
gate kuhos bill to make the governor an elective in
stead of appOintive officer is that the bill is spon-
sored by knhio and the political advisers with
whom he has surrounded himself, and who have sur
rounded him, in the last two elections Under such
circumstances, the delegate and his advisers cannot
expect the people to do otherwise than regard his
measure as an effort to further his own political
fortunes and those of his political group The prn
cipe of home rule osteIsibly involved in his bill is
the principle Hawaii likes to support but does Ha-
wall wish to'carry into its governorship the political
activities and inactivities represented in the last
four years and the last two campaigns by Kuhio
and his advisers? i. H..

AN INCIDENT OF POLITICS.

Politics not only makes strange bedfellows but
breeds strange and sudden rows, controversies and
frictions. The resignation of DIR. j. III. Raymond
of Maui from the various offices which he holds by
gubernatorial choice is a case in point Concerning
this resignation by the way the doctor told differ
ing stories to this paper and the Advertiser. He
did not deny to the Star Bulletin that he had re,
signed but said he was getting out of politics be
cause he had alienated many of his best friends
through politics and intended to have no more of
il. He denied there anything back of his ae-
lion except the desire TO get out of politics and de-
MED specifically that the incident of the morning
when the governor refused to see him. had anything
to do with his decision to quit
Later in the day he told the morning paper, ac-
cording TO its detailed version, that he is pau with
Pinkham," whom he calls ungrateful and a double
crosser," and said the final straw came when the
governor would not see him.
The discrepancy in the two statements may Ike
explained on the ground that anger grew upon The
