Their manager, Mr.. Scully, came 10

by some OF the billboard committee of
the Outdoor Circle that his concerts

his arrangement with me. To this /

There are plenty of people in Honolulu who feel
that there is legitimate field for billboards in the
downtown business section, and that the efforts Of
the Outdoor Circle should be directed toward elm
mating the boards in the residence section and pro
noting clean wholesome advertising local as well
foreign. in the business district There are also
plenty of merchants who feel that their business
should not be damaged if they use bllhoards under
such regulations

gestion of your paper is that the Olt-

billboard controversy to the extent
that the Chas. r. Frazier Company
should confine the billboards to a re-
stricted district. It is unwise to take
up this point at present. In our puo-

stated we tentatively, through Mr.

4 Chicago official discovers that women fail
ures election officials He SAYS the feminine in
speetors and judges could remember afterward what
other lady clerks wore, but could not remember what
they had written on tally sheets. His office is
relnedying the mistakes of the females. Possibly a
few people will take his statement seriously but
most will recognize that male election officials make
mistakes too and that it is just necessary to pick
out women who are competent hsinesslike and
earnest about their work in the booths to pick
out men with the same qualities. Then too. women
have not been voting in Illinois long and many do
not take their politics seriously men who have
been in precincts and city fights all their lives
The European war has demonstrated beyond all
question that women can take mems place in virtu
ally every vocation except those demanding unusual
physical strength AS against the lesson of Europe
what Chicago official says, on the basis OF few
experiences, will cut small figure.

Dear Strive have been greatly

upon him as n dry" man. But we
certainly cannot read the accounts Of
his fight against practically every eff

state. by large vote, gave the right
and duty to work out and present d

There Is no possible way OF getting

block every movement of the dry"

Eullor of / ne Nirginidn:
Sir,~-Two things have surprised me
in the progress of the prohibition
hll-the attack upon the Anti-Saloon
League and the effort TO except cider
as a beverage.
Who conducted the educational
campaign which made prohibition pos
slble but the AntiSaloon League:
Who. with cousummate tact, energy
and courage fought the fight which
ended in the overwhelming victory for
prohibition at the State election but
the Anti Saloon League? Its officers
have been the great leaders whom the
people of Virginia have been glad to
follow in the past and TO whom they
look now to secure the fruits of VIC
tory-to see that an effective prohi-
Iition bill, one that will do the work
Is put upon the statute books
There is no organization more high
ly regarded than the Anti-Saloon
League; no men more gratefully re-
nlembered and honored by the rank
and file of the people of Virginia than
its officers. BY all means let one Of
these leaders. who have shown them
selves capable and worthy, be made
commissioner. Nothing could please
the people better, for then the law
would be enforced.
Let not the friends of prohibition
in the Legislature be misled by the
continued attacks upon those who
have borne the brunt of our battle.
The enemies one makes in courage
opsly and persistently attacking the
liquor interests are live wires" and
they are enemies for keeps" Some
OF them will not hesitate at falsehood
and SANDER. and. unfortunately, some
good people Will believe them. When
this bill is passed the real fight will
then begin Let us be true to our
leaders as they have been true to us.
