As TO THE "GUN-TOTER.'

\ news despatch from the island of Hawaii says
HILo December 1S.-Following the three murders
by Maxine Bondad and his death near lionokaa
recently, Deputy Sheriff w. j. Richard OF ilainakna
has started a campaign among the plantation men in
his district to round up every man who is untaWfuiy
CARRYING firearms Last week he arrested three men,
and example was made OF them by Judge han IN "
the Hamakua district court. H.. ....<r... ~ II
Deputy Sheriff Richard has instructed every store
in his district sell ammunition TO man UNI
less he brings written permission from himself to
buy it. He he proposes to make it so hard for
irresponsible to carry revolver or to get am
munlon in his district that promscuous shoot
ings there will be almost pau. I'll -. =~"
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.
Promscuous "gun-toting" in Hawaii has been
responsible for many bloody crimes in the last three
years. vet the authorities have failed to take any
adequate action. ~. ~ -. @~.-=
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
slashed in a quarrel sometimes the combination of
responsibility and booze sends the desperate
amuck without apparent and he shoot or knfes
the first woman in his way.
Why are there so many bloody crimes in the is
lands? Why SO many cold blooded and hot blooded
murders? Why is there a steady increase in these
crimes? @...:...:..< :@
The three main factors, we would say, are the
growth of disordery elements in the community as
coolie labor is brought here; promiscuous guntot-
ing; and booze
The disorderly, desperate men would be far fewer
without their accompaniment of deadly weapons
and booze. In fact, ,nine-tenths of them would
probably be lawabiding. I'LL. III
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 a
big job and hard job, but better TO do it than inert
~ to watch the tide of violent crime rise steadily in
Hawaii. :."@-... '.s -.... ---'

Premier's Name

DoeS the new premier of Great
Britain take his name with or without
the hyphen? Is it Lloyd-George O.:
Lloyd George "
Answer: He takes il without.
A newspaper correspondent gives
the following timely information:
'Hhe new premier's name is George.
His brothers name is William George,
and because his youngest brother,
David, had middle name, your con.
temporaries insist on hyphenating
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 Carnarvonshire village and out
of his meager earnings as shoe.

CUSTOMS BOARD
Will Come HERE

Making its first visit to the Homo
lulu custom house since its organiza-
ton eur or five years ago the Gus
toms efficiency board of Washington,
ID. c., expects to come to the islands
on bus. ness some time in February,
according to a letter received from
the mainland yesterday in the Wilhel-
nina by Acting Collector of Customs
Raymer Sharp.
The board has since its creation Wis
tied every custom house in mainland
ports but this is the first time 1t has
seen it's way clear to visit Hawaii
nei. The members will make study
of the local custom house, looking into
it's methods and will make recommeI-
dations to Washington for increase or
decrease in the present force and sal
aries paid employees of the customs
service here
Sharp has also been advised that r.
NJ. Halstead, chief of the division of
customs, Washington, D. c.. expects
to visit Honolulu at the same time
the board arrives. The acting collect
or hopes to keep him here long
enough to see the 1917 Mid-Pacific
Carnival, so Halstead will be good
booster for Honolulu's annual mid
winter pageant.

REPORT ON Pines

The l.. 5. experiment station report
en- the spraying Of yellow pineapple
plants IN manganese soils with iron
sulpnate solutions. which has resulted
in the saving OF many thousands OF
plants and greatly increasing their
yield has Just been issued by the sta.
ton. This report IS the first publ.
cation which the station has issued on
this subject "
The report gives a description OF
the sprayer which has been found
best suited to the needs OF the local
pineapple raisers and describes the
many steps which were necessary be-
fore NJ. O. Johnson. the chemist who
discovered the method, finally arriv-
ed at the correct solution Definite
figures as to the comparative yield OF
sprayed and unsprayed plants are
contained in table and are OF special
interest
warning Is also given against the
danger Of spraying plants of reduced
yields where the fault is not because
of manganese in the soil but that the
soil is worn out and the report says
that this danger must be provided
against by the application of fertiliz,
ers and proper provision for suitable
drainage. ~

LETTERS
NO FAULT OF THE POLICE

Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 20, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Dear Sir: Since having a converse
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.
tectiye 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 on 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 i would personally look up the
case. He then said that only a few
PENCIL 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
a personal matter, / did not notify
my captain of the affair at all.
| 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 CT 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
knew nothing of this matter, | am,

One of the most practical objections against Dele
gate kuhos bill to make the governor an elective in
stead of an appointive officer is that the bill is spon-
sored by kuho 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 prin
cipe of home rule ostensibly involved in his bill is
the principle Hawaii likes 10 support but does Ha-
vail wish to carry into its goyernOrship the political
activities and inactivities represented in the last
four years and the last two campaigns by Kuhio
and his advisers? .'". ..:"... III.

AN INCIDENT OF POLITICS.


Politics not only makes strange bedfeows but
breeds strange and sudden rows, controversies and
frictions. The resignation of Dr. j. III. Raymond
of Maui from the various offices which he holds by
gubernatoral 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 getting out of politics be
cause he had alienated many of his best friends
through politics and intended to have no more of
it. He denied there was anything back of his ac-
ton 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
10 do with his decision 70 quit.
Later in the day he told the morning paper, ac-
eording to its detailed version that he is pau with
Pinkham." whom he calls ungrateful and "double
crosser" and said the final. straw came when the
governor would not see him.
The discrepancy in the two statements may be
explained on the ground that anger grew upon the

CHARACTER.

Reputation is what the world thinks you are. Character is what you are in yourself, and what in the long run you will show yourself to be. A man may have little learn ing and less wealth, yet if his char aeter be of sterling worth, he car ries with him a commanding influence which always counts. The road to power is through character. There are wealthy men who have no weight and there are cultured men who have no strength. The man of mind may b, admired, but something more IS necessary before he is trusted.
 Character creates confidence. Character is power in a higher sence than knowledge. He is not a great man, however eloquent or brilliant, however, rich or resource full if he lacks Character, the greatest power in the universe. No matter what man may achieve if he himself is not the very best character he can represent. then he is not great man. Men of genius attract attention, men oi wealth are envied. but only men oi character are honored of mankind
