CARRANZA's PROMISES.

Generalssimo Carranza, as was to be ex-
pected declares that the Villa outlaws will be
hunted down and shot This is his answer for
the murder of eighteen Americans in Chi
huahua on tuesday It sounds promising
but so have Carranza 5 frequent statements of
the sort for the past two years. Carranza has
been talking about hunting down and shooting
the guerillas ever since he started for Mexico
City And good many have been executed
but enough remain to furnish trouble for Car
rama and foreigners on Mexican soil for the
next generation. .":.. ...=.. .."'-=.
Long turmoil has fixed the habit of rebellion
in thousands of Mexican minds. Mexico is
over-run with professional soldiers who are
no better than bandits. 1t is easier to fight and
get loot than to work and get wages-easier
and more lucrative The great mass of Mexi-
cans, most of whom are largely of Indian blood,
are passive non-reSistants, the very sort of a
population to make guerilla warfare possible
for ten years to come And until the United
States takes summary measure to kill the
Mexicans who murder foreigners, the bandits
will hold American life cheap and feel assured
that no retribution will be visited on them.
Their own government is too weak to punish,
the American government stands to be Knocked
and iouted-and murder goes on. r.:

THE PRICE OF 1w1LE1 AND BOOZE.

Last nights riot AT Iwiei with its Disgrace
ful scenes and consequent enforcement By the
military authorities of what was virtually
martial law is part Of the price that Honolulu
must expect to pay for the tolerance Of the
misealIed restricted district and for booze.
So long as the apathy Of Honolulu citizens
allows this district to remain and expand only
a few rods from the heart OF the city, there will
be scenes such as those of last night. Booze
and lust turn ORDERLY men into Irresponsible
brutes, and Iwilei and the presence of large
number of soldiers tingling with temporary
freedom from military restraint combine TO
furnish the opportunity for rioting.
What facts are at hand Indicate that the be-
ginning of last nights disgrace was in booze.
Men loaded with liquor forgot their moral re-
sponsibilities and responded to the inSistent
urge of the destructive spirit a few men
alt up with drink gathered their comrades
and went on a wild spree The results are
partly the price that Honolulu must pay for.
It's booze.
This is not an isolated incident. There have
been others, less spectacular and sensational
perhaps, but not a whit more significant Of
danger for the community ever present at the
shooting scrapes involve fewer men than a riot,
but they are not less prophetic of constant
trouble for Honolulu SO long as Iwilei's i'll fame
lures crowds of men to its noisome precincts.
Speak to the average citizen of Honolulu
about Iwle and he shrugs his shoulder and
says, 81 know it-but where are you going to
move the district! We've got to have it, /
suppose Or else he takes refuge in that old, |
old excuse, 'You can I change human nature.
These reformers who want to wipe out the
social evil ought to be suppressed. This is a
seaport town and we must have a restricted
district
With this sort of public sentiment among
citizens who themselves are 1aw-abiding, it is |
absolutely useless to blame the police for what
happens at Iwilei. They are obeying the be-
hest of public sentiment to let the district con
tinue and keep its nauseous manifestations as
far as possible from the eyes and ears Of the
good people At best this is but makeshift
policy, and it breaks down utterly under the
conditions in Honolulu-where frequently the
district will be sought by hundreds of men
Tolerance of Iwiei is merely placing Homo
lulu where the city must expect riots, blood
shed and other disorder, in addition to the
price that a red-hght district always exacts of
D community-the price of corruption of youth
and constant offense to men, women and child
rem Of all ages And in addition Honolulu must
bow of necessity see the military forces called
but, armed to quell disorder that is beyond
ririI authority. That is not pleasant thing
|or supposedly self governing city.

! What is described as the awful con.
ditiCn Of the road that leads from Wal

first through a letter from Efeut2col.

Col Ellis stated he has = heard

Transit Company will withdraw its
bus from the run and as the ibus has
proven a great aid to people at TIE
fort asked that something be done in
the matter of repair.
As soon as the letter had been read
Supervisor Shingle announced, To the
board that he had just received a
telephone message from the manager
OF the Rapid Transit Company TO the
effect that the bus would have To be
discontinued if the road is not put in
better shape Immediately.
Logan declared that nothing but
hard surface would ever fix the road
permanently. so long as the Dig ii.ney
runs over it, and said that since there
is not enough money on hand TO place
hard surface on the road the only
other proposition is TO put on a road
gang to scrape and SMOOTH ii now and
then. He thought piling rocks into
the present holes Will do no good as
other holes are bound To result along:

Albion F. Clark, chairman of the Ad
Clubs road committee, told the SUI
pervisurs that unless the road is fixed
SoCn they run good chance OF sus-
severe damage to the kaimuki
fire engine in case of hurry call.
The engine is likely to tip over in
some of the holes, he said; and re-
called an evening short time ago
when the bus itself seemed dangerous
ly near to turning turtle.
Clark said many of the holes are
two feet deep and added that day
and half of work ought to put the
road in fair shape He suggested that
coral from the Fort Ruger quarry |
near by could be used in repair work, !
The matter was finally referred to |
the road committee, the consensus. OF |
opinion being that the road had best
be tended to at once.
