strong and vigorous editorials that our
two leading papers have been giving
us. IL was unanimously voted to send
letters OF appreciation and common

the hearty support that the pastors
and laymen feel in this matter.
We, therefore, take keen pleasure
in writing the Star-Bulletin our word
Of approval, and also wish to say that
the Inter-Church Federation stands
ready to cooperate with you in any
way possible to defeat this socalled
protective medical inspection at

CLEARING AWAY pRovINcfALIsM.

While the main discussion at the Fifth Civic Con
fentioh just ended turned on the question of issIl
inc bonds for public improvements against 9th
er hnancng methods--the real significance Of the
convention is much broader 1t includes this bond
question and 3. dozen Others.
II is recognition OF the fact that civic improve
ment and tourist promotion in Hawaii must be gain
ed by the coordination Of many lines of action
many public officials many organizations. many
citizens .ss ..#
No sooner did the subject Of tourist promotion
come up, than up bobbed the subject of good roads
the subject Of cleanly ports, the subject Of safe
wharyes, the subject of wellkept streets. No
did these arisethan up sprang the subject of an in
crease in the tax-rate an issuance of bonds. No
sooner did these appear than stirred the sub
jec Of territorial and county powers of territorial
and county finances And with all of this were
woven such subjects support of efficient officials,

in Hawaii which lays less stress on party names
and more on indyidnaI and cooperative ability in.
tegrity and progressiyeness among public servants
In spite of debates at which able and fearless
speakers clashed ecidedIy there was not one single
incident Of personal luminosity, nor loss Of temper.
There was not one approach to quarrel. The rea-
sons were that from its very start the convention
impressed is delegates as one which they were at.

out methods of territorial progress and that every
delegate was after the same result though perhaps
BY different routes
The ideal which moved DIR. H. B. Elliot and 9th
ers in Ho to call the first civic convention surged
higher at the fifth than ever beforeAthat what Ha
wall wanted was medium for general "get togeth

is an organization in ITSELF with interests neces

ELECTRIC FRONTIER
BARRIER Is FOUND
TO BE EFFECTIVE

THE HAGUE, Netherlands.-Ac cur,
ious exchange arrangement has been
made between Dutch and Belgian
farmers on the frontier. Last year the
German troops in Belgian territory
made it exceedingly difficulty for the
Dutchmen who owned or rented land
over the border to harvest their crops
and, Erofiting by the experience then
gained. many Hollanders have this
year. at any rate in the province Of
Limburg, entered into agreements
with Bslgians owning lands on Dutch
territory under which the latter are
harvesting their crops, and vice versa.
The parties concerned do not always
get their exact share, but the electric
frontier barrier, which runs along the
entire Belgian frontier up to aud
along the river Mouse, has practically
forced the respective owners to make
arrangements whereby each can re-
main in his own country. 49, r.. 49,.

A careful analysis of the above con.
r1nces me that the writer thereof is
net oyerpatriotic and desires to be-
little the services of the local guard.
II Is doubtful as to whether q single
member Of the guard, officer Or en-
listed man, viii feel flattered upon
learning that the proffer OF his ser
vices by the governor to the United
states al time when war apparently
threatened, have been publicly termed
foolish. ~" ....-.s. r. -.
When the governors of states from
Maine 10 California proffered the ser
vices or the militia of their various
states To the president, were their
offers deemed foolish?
AS to the sweet dislocation CT
things" which the writer predicts
would have occurred had the local
guard been modified three months
ago and sent to the Mexican border
for another like period. how many
such sweet dislocations" have been
cheerfully accepted in cities and towns
located in all parts of the great United
States? The example set by the Cana
dian and Australian troops in rushing
to the aid of England in the present
European war is one that might well
be followed by any colony and puts
to shame the sentiment throughout the
above editorial. Why should not the
National Guard of Hawaii offer its ser.
vices to the United States, which

The cowardly term, the narrow

believe every member would volunteer
his services for duty on the Mexican
border tomorrow.
During the present stirring times,
with the Mexican situation far from
settled, and other serious situations
constantly occurring with the warning
nations of Europe. it appears to ME
that the above article is uncalled for
and is manifestly unjust and unfair
to the National Guard of Hawaii,
