fine TRIP Until
SHE GOT near
p ~.
. ISLANDS

Reporting a fine voyage from the
time she left San Francisco until she
came within days run of the islands,
the Matson steamer Wilhelmina ar
rived this morning, docking at 9:45,
two and quarter hours late. The
delay was caused by the kona gale.
From the time that she hit the kona
the Wilhelmina experienced weather
as rough as it had been delightful a
short time previously. From the fact
that Capt c.. T. S. Filmer of the Shin
20 Maru reported southerly gale OF
40 miles velocity, following his ship
all the way from Yokohama, it would
seem as though the present storm is
not entirely a local one, but general
over the Pacific and moving eastward
toward the coast.
Capt. Peter Johnson brought the
Wilhelmina into port in a most able
manner. The weather was so thick
that the steamer could hardly be made
out as she came up from Diamond
Head, and until she was actually cross
ing the bar she looked more like a
phantom ship, ghost-like craft NOV
ing against dense background Of
lowering sky, with long lines of dirty
white surf pounding on the reefs of
Quarantine Island
Purser R. v. Menary reported that
the liner brought 20 passengers from
the coast, and that they enjoyed deck
sports, dances and the usual fun OF
life on shIpboard until the steamer
ran into the kona while "a hours from
port
Pratique was given the steamer at
her dock at Pier Is, because the. rag
ing seas outside made it impossible
to board her outside the harbor, and
the Shinyo Maru gave the force plen-
ty to do before the WiIheImina poked
her nose through the thick weather
off Diamond Head
Cargo brought by the Matson liner
totaled 1874 tons, of which 1866 are
for Honolulu and 40S for Hilo. The
liner brought AZ automobiles, Of which
only one goes to Hilo.

EDITOR
INNOCENT AND GUILTY.

| Whether or not official investigation OF the
army authorities fixes blame for the lwilei riot,
the responsibility at bottom rests on booze and
the commercial vice allowed to flourish in the
so-calIed ..restricted district
The 18th Infantry and the 9th Cavalry are
the two organizations whose names are in the
limelght as the result of this riot but the fault
is not theirs alone, in fact, it is not primarily
theirs 1t is the fault of country and com
munity which protect booze by law and pro-
tect the social evil by custom. And booze and
Iwilei furnish just as great temptation and
danger to civilian as to soldier.
1t will not help, as the Star Bulletin pointed
out last week, to say merely that crowd of.
soldiers did it all. That is not true and it is
unfair to the soldiers. Participating in their
reckless acts were the people who tolerate
booze selling and by blind apathy encourage
this evil, horrible Iwilei district in the foolish
belief that they are restricting" vice and
disease. =. IL :.:... III.
And it should be remembered that the mum
Der of men taking part in the riot are few in
comparison with the large number of soldiers
Oh Oahu. The great majority OF these soldiers
have no part in such scenes and are entitled to
he liking and respect of Honolulu. A few OF
The irresponsible members hurt the reputa-
ion of the organizations by their actions, and
10 one is more anxious to see that the guilty
)nes are found and punished than the innocent
)nes whose commands have been involved.

TO KEEP IWILEI
DISTRICT SHUT
FOR Three DAYS

Fer at least three days more the
.wilei district will be closed, the riot
caused by the soldiers of the 25th In.
fantry and the 9th Cavalry having
caused the police to order all women
out of the place.
That the men of the 25th started the
trouble is the opinion of the police.
Deputy Sheriff Julius w. Asch today
said the whole thing, as far as the po-
lice were concerned, was "a joke"
we would have had fine chance"
he said. The present feeling, created
by public expression of opinion about
the police, has made the soldiers feel
we are not treating them right If
had sent my men down there a fight
would have taken place.

NATIONAL GUARD AND THE TERRIToR
IAL SERVICE

Governor Pinkham 5 order to territorial de
partment heads concerning the National Guard
raises question of public policy which ex-
perience alone is likely to answer That ques-
ton is: If department heads in handling their
offices, give preference as the governor in
structs, to members of the Guard, will the terri
toriaI service thereby suffer in nefficiency!
There is then the further question whether
the encouragement and Strengthening of the
National Guard is matter of more import
ance than the efficiency of the public service.
The gist Of the governors written instrnc-
tons to department heads is in the following
paragraphs:
''That present members may be encouraged,
] desire the heads of departments, where va
cancies exist or occur, to give preference to
members of the National Guard, according as
opportunities for skilled and unskilled labor
exist
''Heads of departments will see to it that the
above employment policy is carried out.
No department head. If direct inquiry were
made of him, would be likely to admit that he
would employ or promote the less efficient
man, who is a member of the National Guard,
and refuse to employ or promote the more eff
cient man. Yet it is impossible to ignore the
fact that the governor s vigorous instructions
may have such result, for every department
head is certainly going to carry out the gov
ernor's policy when that policy is stated in
such, uncompromising terms.
The National Guard has no more constant
advocate and supporter than this paper. The
tar4Bulletin has always upheld the necessity
of "a strong militia organization here, and long
before Governor Pinkham and Adjutant- Gen
johnson began their strong campaign for
Guard expansion, this paper had helped al
various times to stir up interest in the Guard
and fight for adequate appropriations by the
Legislature. ! In pointing out now that the good
intent OF the governors instructions can be
hurt by zeal for worthy cause, the Star
Bulletin does not differ with the chief executive
on the point that eligible employees of the terri
tory ,should belong to the National Guard. |
They should. But we are firmly of the opinion
that it is not necessary to lower the efficiency
of the public service to build up the guard
Other things being equal-and efficiency
being the chief thing-the territory may well
duty to Hawaii is such that he has joined the |
National Guard and is thus helping to fit his
country for proper defense of its rights.
The Star Bulletin feels that. the governors
attitude toward efficiency does not differ from
thiss But his letter did not clearly express it.
and we are sorry that it did not, for it may
convey the impression that the territorial ser
vice is to be used unwisely to build up the Ma |
tional Guard

GRAND OPERA WORTH WHILE.

The De Folco Grand Opera Company is wortl
while.
1t has strong personnel of principals, {
good chorus, an adequate orchestra and 6
repertoire of. perenniala successes General
opinion seems to be that this company is su
perior to the Lambardi Opera Company, which
had successful season and deserved it. Ger
tainly the De Folco organization deserves {
successful season. Inauspicious weather viii
cause some of the faint hearted to give up then
plans for attending and will hurt the company
and all the more strongly should Honolulu give
il financial support. 1t is hazardous under
taking to bring such large organization from
the coast and if this is financially failure
another is mot likely to come for five years.
But it ~ not to save the impresario money
that Honolulu should patronize generously. 1t is
because unsteady and dramatically the operas
will be well done, if the opening night is the
criterion. Inasmuch as an opera company
which can do Aida as well as it was done
last night can also do "Il Trovatore" or
aRigoletto'' well-taking two operas typical
of the De Folco programs-the first nights
standard should not only be maintained, but
quite surpassed as the season progresses.

NO ACTON TAKEN
ON SALE OF ROAD
Boise Payette Water Users
Make No Protest-Ad-
vertising Campaign.

Caldwell, Feb. 9.-Protest against
the passage of bill pending before
the present congress for the sale of the
Arrowrocll railroad will not be entered
by the directors of the Payette- Boise
Water Users association. This fact
became evident at Il meeting of the
directors here yesterday when il was
shown by G. G. Fisher, assistant man
ager for the Boise project, that the
depreciation alone for the road will be
$3.50 each year. He pointed out that
in any contract or sale, the govern
ment can reserve the right Of service
over the railroad at a reasonable rate
per mile The directors thought that
the sale of the railroad would be
serious handicap, but after talking the
matter over with the assistant project
manager decided not TO protest against
the pending bill.
No further word has been received
from Washington to turn the Boise
project over to a district basis, the di-
rectors were informed By Secretary
Girard. The directors decided to cir
culatc petitions in support of such
plan. Resolutions were passed object
ing to the advanced payment plan ana
1T was wired to Comptroller Ryan last
night
An extensive Advertising campaign
for the project was decided upon. The
Idaho pictures taken for the Panama
Pacific exposition win be used and 400
eastern cities and towns viii be Wis
tied. The pictures will show the work
done on tho SrrOmrorl, dan, and tho
Boise project, while the resources OF
the latter VIII he exploited. The Com
mercial clubs of Boise. Caldwell and
Nampa Will be asked to share the ex-
pense. There viii also be extensive
advertising in the eastern papers, par
ticularly those OF Chicago.
