PROHIBITION AND HAWAII.

Prohibition in Hawaii is coming as surely as
the tides wash these island shores, and it may
come at this session of Congress.
A marked change has taken place in the ter
ritory since the plebiscite of more than FIVE
years ago resulted in an overwhelming defeat
Of the "dry" forces. A marked change has
taken place in many parts of the nation. The
economic argument against booze has been i'm
mensely strengthened; state after state has gone
dry; local option has widened the ''all-white"
area with a rapidity that is startling to the
brewer, the distiler and the saloon-keeper.
In Hawaii the economic argument against
hquor-that booze and business, and booze and
Industry, don't mix-has come more and more
10 the fore. But even more graphically has
been impressed on the public mind the fact
that booze breeds crime, poverty and disease.
The educational work of the temperance and
prohibition advocates has done much, but
probably even more is done by the cold, I'M
answerable statistics that the history of Hawaii
day by day is furnishing.
Murder after murder, suicide after suicide
debauchery after debauchery so runs the
story of booze The record Of the Jail, of the
police court, of the circuit court, of the divorce
'-tt@t VI TIC li1cduc VI
Of the charity home, of the morgue, Of the
graveyard tell the story of booze.
And simultaneously on the mainland the
states which have gone dry are telling their
story, too. Crime has decreased; poverty has
decreased; disease has decreased arrests have
decreased; court cases have decreased, since
prohibition came. Savings banks accounts
have increased; per capita wealth has in
creased; retail trading has increased; home
buying has increased; happiness has increased,
since prohibition came
Such states as Washington 1.-The stronghold
Of big brewing interests come forward with
their testimony of improvement, progress,
soundness of business, as the result of pro-
1ibition -
The old old cry of the liquor interests that
prohibitions doesn't prohibit" has been ex-
posed over and over again for what it is worth.
III Hawaii isolated from the mainland, there is
~ ideal opportunity for prohibition to work
effectively. There are, moreover, special rea-
sons Of population here to make prohibition
specially desirable And the businessmen of
The islands are realizing as never before the
economic argument for prohibition.

EDITOR
INTRODUCING MUTT AND JEFF.

Mutt and Jeff, those two immortal INSOFAR
ables, make their appearance today on the clas-
sified ad page of the Star Bulletin. They will
be there every day, making laughs for the Star
Bulletin readers.
Mutt and Jeff constitute one of the most IA
nous duos in history. To literally millions Of
American newspaper readers their names are
household words-better known than Damon
and Pythias, Romeo and Juliet, or Jack and
JILL They are created by the highest paid car
toonist in the world Bud Fisher, ex-racetrack
follower His annual income is twice that OF a
president of the United States and it is all
due to Mutt and Jeff. They lifted him from
obscurity and poverty in San Francisco to
wealth and fame in New York. Mutt and jeff
are in the papers, in the movies, on the stage
making money and laughs everywhere.
The secret of their popularity is that they,
touch the chords of human understanding.
There's nothing occult about their appeal. Bud
Fisher is Of common clay himself and his two
creations are very human, even if exaggerated
" absurd. Crude and grotesque as they are;
slangy and regardless of grammar and the
niceties Of English as is their speech; impos-
sible as are their adventures, Mutt and Jeff are
liked by the millionaire and the pauper, the
intelligent and the ignorant Some people can
not tolerate their foolishness; with countless
others Mutt and Jeff are personal friends,
whose yicissitudes of fortune are followed each
day with absorbed interest.
The Mutt and Jeff series has such tremen-
dous hold on popular interest among newspa-
per readers that recently great legal battle
was fought over the syndicate rights The
newspaper which secures the right to publish
the series has something very tangible. to offer
its public To many of its readers the Star
Bulletin, in beginning the Mutt and Jeff series
today, is reintroducing old friends; to many
others in Hawaii the inseparable pair will be
new. They are now in the war trenches of
Europe, and every day the classified ad page
will see them in the midst of new adventure.

in the sulky or higher up. He does no dirty driving even against those who are sometimes permitted to practice all manner of unfair methods to beat him. In a word, Geers wants no more than the square deal he always gives to others. He is one of the rare men, amateur or professional, who measure up to the definition of the much abused term sportsman.
 He is likewise one of the rare men born with the gift of getting out of dumb animals the maximum amount of effort with the minimum of urging. No one ever saw him with his arms spread out high above his head and his body rocking forward and back in a hys- terfcal finish such as two latter day celebrities of the suIky put up with a pair of appropriately hoppled pacers at Empire City park last summer. As the late Monroe Salisbury once said of him, "Geers sits as still as a statue and seldom uses whip, yet a horse will do more for him than for any other driver in a close finish"
 It has been said that Geers was never disciplined or even accused of un- sportsmanlike conduct on the track. but that is not quite true. He himself has told the story of a race in which he was once sent to the barn for foul

of fact, especially on the wings, the aids to goal scoring.
 A fast wing forward who gets away with the ball may, if he has a clever back to deal with make mess of things if he tries to keep the ball to himself or to center too soon. Tn the former case the back may beat him or force him to take the ball into touch or behind or else he centers too soon and simply kicks the ball forward into the midst of opponents who are rally ing to protect their goal
 But if he and his halfbaCk have had a word beforehand he can draw the opposing back either to the extreme outside or to the center and then heel the ball out to his half, who, taking it on the run, finds a clear opening and takes it on to center if at the right moment, or even to get a shot at goal which should be done at precisely the right moment.
 To pass or center, or, rather, to try try to pass or center too late. is the most common fault among the aver age run of players. Especially in teams, whose members vary from week to week, the desire for per sonal distinction leads to a most dis astrous selishness. The man with the ball tries to keep it to himself and en-
