CIRCULATED VICE.

BY The action of Honolulu pastor in securing
Ia warrant to break up alleged house of ill-fame
in the Kalihi district. public attention is directed
10 the existence of commercial vice on a considerable
scale outside The sO-caled restricted district"
It is no new complaint from the kalihi neighbor
hood. Pastor McNey weeks ago told the Star Bull
letin that houses of ilrepute and illicit orgies
making his district one of fragrant vice. Unfortun
atey the complaints do not come from KaIihi alone
Other residence sections have had their dsagreeabe
experience with questionable frequenters.
One thing is certan-the SocaIIed restriction and
regulation of vice in Honolulu now is n farce.
Will public opinion awaken vigorously enough TO
convince the police department that Honolulu
wants commercial vice curbed? If so, the police de-
partment will probably act more effectively. But
when communities are apathetc, officers of the law
are often likewise, and with show of iustifca-
ton ..-. ~.

THE PASSING OF GENIUS.

Jack Iondons death is not only the loss Of a strik
ing and vivid personality but of a man who created
literature
From the moment when he first began writing for
the magazines his stories and articles we're dising
ushed by asrugged power. a driving force which
came with shock Of delight to jaded literatteurs
satiated with the polished phrases of fctionists
whose books were Of rhetoric and philology instead
OF the great and pulsating world of real things.
London had liked full years Of action before he
began writing with the serious intent of becoming
a master Of fiction He had a wonderful back
ground of experience from which draw. and a
mind which absorbed and held impressions like
hardening wax.
No American writer living today has wider
vogue in foreign countries, probably none wide,
England, France, Russia acclaimed London as a
literary genius when he still struggling for rec
Ogntion in certain cynical circles of the United
States. No. tits hardly fair to term it struggling
for recognition for London wrote as he saw and
felt. and left. the verdict with the future. In his
case, he received worldwide contemporary recogn
ton, unlike most men of literary genius. and he re-
ceived also the monetary rewards.
He turned On inquring apt mind into many chan
nels Politics in The broader sense sociology ethno
logy offered Him inviting fields. But his fame will
probably rest maihly on his fiction. He was better
as creator than as critic-another sign of genius.
He died in the prime of steadily unfolding pow
At forty he has long list of literary works to
his credit and his place in his country's hall of fame
is secure.
Much of what london wrote on his first visit here
has been criticized. and with considerable justice.
Whatever of harslpess there in his statement of
early Impressions has been more than outweighed
by the fuFJmeasure Of his later appreciation, often
spoken and often written. In the last year his
praises of Hawaii have reached an audience number
ing high nf6 the hundreds of thousands He had
frequently expressed a desire to make Hawaii his
permanent home though to of his vigorous spirit
no earthly home could be certain of permanenee.
Had he lived here long, might jUstiiably have
expesH from fiis pen a novel which would have
placed Hawaii forever among the spots made famous
as the locale for an accepted masterpiece.
Like most men of genius his ways were not the
ways kof convention But his fame rested on no
