WASHINGTON DRY. ;"

The state of Washington went ''dry" on
January i. The vote had been a rather close
one in the preceding election; the large cities
turned in majorities against prohibition; many
of the big businessmen and influential papers
of the state had opposed it. So that there is a
large element in Washington hoping that the
new law will not work-that prohibition will
be discredited.
Yet Immediately after the first of the year
the beneficial effects of enforced temperance
abstinence in many eases were apparent. All
over the state the number Of arrests have fallen
off; less charity subjects. have had to be cared
for. There is actually less unemployment in
various sections which have made reports,
though a large number of brewery workers,
saIoonmen and others connected with the whole
sale and retail trade found themselves on Jan
nary out of jobs and businesses.
Prohibition is working in Washington The
law will be violated, of course, for booze is a
habit-forming drug, and those deeply addicted
to the habit will scheme and plot to get their
drug. And there will always be men willing to
erade the law when possible. 1t needs the pass
inc of one generation to get large commun-
;ty used to prohibition. But it is working al
ready, and it viii continue to work-a part of
the movement which in few years will put all

THE SOLDIERS VIEWPOINT.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

have been stationed here about Is
months and must say that there is en-.
tirely too much prejudice against the
men that wear the uniform. The opin-
len exists among a great number of
people that the soldiers are mere
hoodlums and were forced in the army
because they were not capable Of earn
ing livelihood in civilian life. Nat.
urally, they think we are unfit to asso-
ciate with them. Such an opinion re-
flicts grave Injustice upon US. The
sooner the people here learn the real
status of soldier, the sooner the
question What can Honolulu do for
the soldier?" will be solved and all

men OF the service and civilians be
erased.
Mr.. Editor. allow me To state that
the soldiers are not looking for any
places OF amusement or recreation.
The government provides us with suf-
ficient modes OF recreation. What we
want IS a chance to demonstrate our
fitness to associate with the civilians
of Honolulu on basis of equality and
prove to those that are so unpatriotic
as to criticize us that We are men and
not hoodluns
So. in conclusion. would say to the
people of Honolulu, forget about your
charitable places OF amusement for the
soldiers. and instead use a little COM
mon sense and judge US as men en-
gagged IN a very patriotic vocation. and
after so judging us, TO those OF US who
measure up as true and decent men
kindly extend the same privileges you
would to the men who are engaged in
civil life. And do not discriminate
against us because we wear the uni

No beIligerent plots or belligerent plotters
are wanted in Hawaii.
If they re here. smoke them out!
They are not wanted anywhere in the United
States, and the U. S. secret service and federal
officials are doing a good job of smoking out
in various parts of the country.
In the face of unusual conditions, this terri
tory has preserved internal harmony through
out the progress of the war. Men of diametric-
ally opposed sympathies have continued in per-
sonal respect and liking one for another. They
have realized that this is an integral part of
the United States and the United States is
striving to maintain neutrality.
Aside from infraction of the federal law, war
plots and war plotters here would arouse a
local friction, suspicion and luminosity which
would be gravely harmful. Furthermore, the
probabilities are that any activities by foreign
agents would appear to involve entirely inno-
cent persons. The Star Bulletin issconvinced
that the great majority of warm sympathizers
here with either cause-Allied or Teuton-are
Just as much opposed to such activities as the
American whose feeling is primarily neutral
and who rightfully resents the mischieyous
trespassing Of unneutral conspirators.

1t is beginning to look as if the professor
could play politics with the colonel-and that
is going some. When even the president can
set eight thousand sane and husky Americans
cheering themselves hoarse by utterly repud-
iating his own policies, he shows not only that
he has mighty convincing brand of Oratory,
but that he doesn t need to go to Oyster Bay to
learn politics. Yet that is exactly what the
president did at Des MONIES. .... 49,.
The president has switched, and he has
shown that he is mighty clever switchman.

out strong for preparedness. 1t seemed likely
to sweep the country. Whereupon Mr.. Wilson

priated the brass instruments. ~.
