The Master Crook

The following poem by Berton Bra ley, first published in the Engineering * Mining Journal, was reproduced iu tho late issue of the Gold Bar the Safety First" quarterly publication issued by the Treudwell companies: Jim Bowkcr is iu jail this day
 An like Co stay awhile, Fer gettin' in a cuttiu' fray
 An slashiu round in style. Who was it made Jim draw that knife An laughed his sense 10 scorn, So be forgot his kids an wife!
 Go ask John Barleycoru. Bill Welsh fell down a chute last night An hc won't work no more, He's lying home all still an white
 That was SO live, before. What made his eyes 20 blear an dim,
 Why was it that be fell Leaviu his folks to mourn for mm?
 John Barleycoru kin tell. Red Smith ho makes a heap of dough
 Coutrackiu' in raise, An yet his wife an kiddies go
 Haliragged all their days, Their cabiu's ugly, rough an bare,
 They're thin no pale, forlorn. Why ain't they got enough Co wear?
 Go ask John Barleycorn. John Barkeycoru-he seems your
 friend
 A pleasant pal Co meet, An at the first the hours you spend
 With him are mighty sweet, But give him time an he will make
 Tho strongest man his elave; Hi5 winuiu' ways arc an fake,

 For long ago they've found, Hc kills more men than miners con
 Or dangers underground; They've seen Che woe an horror borne Upon bus poison breath, An SO they shuu John Barleycorn,

THEIR OPPORTUNITY.

/ No impression should be gained from Yesterday ;
meeting and action by the Chamber of Commerce
that there is no need for campaign against wee
conditions by the churches of the city.
/. There is need There is. in fact need for action
by every organization with a regard for public vel
fare and with duty toward public welfare.
What the businessmen of Honolulu did yesterday
was TO make manifest their intention to take lead
elship as a business organization. in fighting the
commercial vice already exposed officially by the
territorial grand jury. ..#..
The churches and religious duties have distinct
duty of their own, field of their own. II is to
awaken their congregations, their members. all
those they can influence the necessity for united
community action. Their path of duty is rs straight
and as unmistakable that of the press. 1t would
be incOnceivable that in any great moral movement
the organized moral forces of the city should take
no part. And it is in recognition of this oppor-
tunity for moral leadership in placing certain facts
before their congregations that pastors and other
church men have called the meeting at the Library
of Hawaii for next Monday night.
Some citizens may think that since the redght
district of Iwlei has been closed, the campaign
against vice is over. That unfortunately, is not
the case. The grand jury's report estimated that
sixty per cent of the commercial vice in the city
cancer of evil. there must be put before a
apathetic public facts which are unpleasant facts
but which are also facts that cannot and must not
be blinked.
A definite campaign to secure the passage by the
next legislature of the abatement by injunction
act is contemplated This act is the most effective
yet devised in American law to combat commercial
vice, particularly vice which seeks to spread secret
ly through the city Several states recognizing its
effectiveness have passed suitable bills Twice such
bills have been presented before the legislature of
Hawaii and twice the bills have failed The reason
has been that there not sufficient public support
TO secure their passage. But if this community
through the eyes of 10000 fathers and mothers will
look squarely in the face the ugly facts of CONNER
eial vice. the bill will 60 before the next legislature
with force sufficient to pass it.
That is why campaign of public education is
needed now. The situation is not pretty one, but
it is inevitable Honolulu has tried to ignore
vice and failed silenced conscience with
the plausible theory that it had regulated vice. when
regulation had failed. The continuance of this att
tude has become impossible

Honolulu has right to blame the existence of
Iwile or the presence of commercial vice in any
part of the city, on the soldier. The territorial
grand jury's report said:
Honest opinion is held by many citizens that Iwilei
is necessary account of the presence of a large
number of troops officers of the u S. army, who
have appeared before this grand jury, have not by
suggestion implication approved of its existence
For vice conditions here. each of us must share a
portion of responsibility. Community apathy has
allowed them as well as much honest difference of
opinion on the necessity for such conditions.
